Judge, 0il assuming the chair, made
a fine speech, one that could but lend
hope and encouragement f0f great
victory under the leadership of Bryan

ization of the convention was made
permanent and the body at once got
down to business. There was but one
sentiment animating the delegates
for presidential nominee-it was
BRYAN and every mention Of the
Nebraskan'S name was greeted with
prolonged applause. The leading

MAY PLAY TUCSON VARSITY

Since the Phoenix High School ball team has cleaned up everything from the Pine City to the other side of the Salt. it is looking around for new worlds to conquer. The Tucson var sity which defeated both the Tempe Normal and Prescott Highs. is the most formidable remaining foe that is in sight. Prof. Jones is trying to arrange a game with the Varsity team the defeat of which would give the Phoeniy Highs the unquestioned championship of scholastic baseball in Arizona. As a trade excursion is talked of from Tucson to Phoenix the Varsity might be brought over then. Next year il is probable that a terri torial high school league may be ar ranged. taking in the Normal and the Varsity with a full schedule of games. This has been the most brilliant sea- son for school teams. The Indians will give the High School another chance for the pennant on Saturday. and the game should be a warm en- counter.

 Heretofore the cattle have been sent over by way of Globe, most of the stock driven through Now that the government has ordered the cattle taken away from the ranges on the reservations, other fields must be sought out. There is a large number of cattle in that section. This first big shipment will be loaded at Brana- man, six miles from Kelvin. and is be- ing shipped by J. F.. Armstrong.
 Two weeks ago a big corral was built there to handle this business. Many other shipments are expected at intervals from now on to the Salt Riv- CT valley. About 500 head will be the number received here this evening it is thought.

LOCAL OPTION ELECTION
 10 BE HflD MAY Z
Registration For It Will Close Next Saturday Night at Midnight.

The local option election was yester- day called by the board of supervisors to be held on May ?. That date had been agreed upon before but announce ment of it could not be made until the regular meeting of the board yester- day. There had also been an under standing as to the polling places and the election officers so that at yester- days meeting there was nothing to be done but promulgate the call.
 District Attorney Bullard presented to the board a written opinion regard ing the territorial scope of the cleo tion. The theory had been advanced by Judge Stilwell representing the Royal Arch that the existing prohibit ton districts could not take part in the approaching election. The district at torney takes a contrary view. The statute provides. he points out that in ordering an election the board may in clude the county, precinct or such sub division as may be designated, or any town or city and he holds that the voters of a prohibition district are still voters of the county and are not dis franchised as to any question which may be submitted to the county. He quotes section 3O69, Nor shall the holding of an election in a justice of the peace's precinct in anyway prevent the holding of an election immediately thereafter for the entire county in which the justices precinct is situ- ated.''
 The district attorney states that this view is sustained by Texas decisions and he remarks that the local option law of this territory is taken from that of Texas
 In another opinion the district attor- ney says. that he has already received many inquiries regarding the qualifi cation of voters at the coming election. In a general way otherwise qualified voters who have lived in the territory one year and in the county and pre- circt thirty days may vote. Those who were registered at the last general election are not required to register for this election. Though their. regis tration may show that they lived in another precinct they may still vote in the precinct where they now reside. provided they have lived in such pre- cinct for the period of time required by law
 Those whose names do not appear on the last great register may now regis ter and in fact the registration is al ready under way. The list will be closed next Saturday night, April II. at midnight.

AMOS ACQUITTED
 GARCIA Is HELD
The Former Was at Least on His Own
 Ground in the Cave Creek Fight.

The examination of C. D. Amos and Cleofas Garcia in connection with the stabbing and shooting affray which took place at Cave Creek a week ago last Saturday. was held before Justice JOhnstone yesterday afternoon. As a result of it Amos was discharged and Garcia was held to the grand jury.
 The bulk of the evidence supported the story related by Amos to The Re publican the following day. except it was shown that the men had had some previous trouble. though Amos said he knew of no motive for the attack upon him by Garcia. There was some diff ference of opinion as to just when and how Garcia was shot. It was the opin- ion of Amos that the shot which pass ed through Garcia was fired while they were struggling on the ground after Garcia had stabbed him in the throat with a butcher knife. Garcia said that three shots had been fired before he was struck. two of them while they were fighting on the ground, one after Garcia had begun to run away; the fourth and effective one was fired from long distance./
 Amos sought to illustrate with the aid of J. A. Porterie how the wound ing shot was fired. It was the opin- ion of bystanders that the wound could not have been inflicted in that manner. As a matter of fact Amos could not have known which shot did take effect and he probably thought that inasmuch as Garcia tried to break away after the shooting began, he had been hit.
 The strongest point in favor of Amos was that he had been attacked in his own camp, where Garcia had no bus mess and that Garcia had come there accompanied by two other Mexicans. one of them armed. It was also shown that his language at the time of his arrival indicated that he was looking for trouble. Anyway. it was theropin- ion of the district attorney that no jury would find Amos guilty and that there was no use in carrying the mat ter any further.

Deafness Cannot Be cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube is in- famed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is en- tirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in- famed condition of the mucous sur faces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by ca- tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

Our battleships are out of date,' Says Mir Henry Reuterdahl; | "Our gunners never could shoot
 straight
 We might as well have none at all Their armor is too light and low, Their turrets death-traps only; Some day they'll all to fragments blow And leave us sad and lonely" And should they ever chance to meet Some real ships in battlej Why Henry says our poor old fleet Would run like frightened cattle. But say, Hen. what strange cause took

 That erstwhile Spanish nation? Was 1t the hand of Providence, Or was it gravitation? O Henry go and soak your head, And then go buy a book Entitled "U. s. History And OCT it's glorious pages look.

ing two $50 bills with instructions to
the finder to return the money to

Brown the Ardmoreite states that

advertised the lost money in the name
of Brown.
