Tatory on Wednesday afternoon was held yesterday afternoon and resulted in a prompt verdict bF the jury of ac- |cidental poisoning by potassium cyanide The manner ah which the poison was taken into the stouaca however is quite as much of a mystery as ever.
 At the inquest pr Armstrong, a warm friend and also the physician lof the deceased, testified that after death had occurred he flooded the stomach of the, deceasesf with warm water and pumped out the contents, am analysis of which showed that there was more than enough cyanide taken to have caused oeath almost fnstantan- .eously. The other witnesses were Mes SITS. H. J. Wright, chemical expert of Heller and Wright. and W. c. Mel cher the friend and business associate Of Mr. Young.

\ DAZZLING STORY
 OF SUDDEN WEALTH
Dave Schwartz Death Valley Miner Who Sold Out to
 Old Dominion Go.

Seized with convuisions on the streets Dave Schwartz, a miner, was taken to the receiving hospital yester- day. where he told a dazzling story of sudden wealth that was hardly cred tied by those who heard it. Later in rhe day when Schwartz, who had no funds when taken to the hospital, was permitted to leave, partial corrobora- tion of his story came to the city jailoF over the telephone with the request that he be given the best Of medical treatment.
 Schwartz was found in convulsions at Main and Macy streets. He was taken to the hospital at I:30 o'clock, where he continued to have fits. After being treated with chloraI and bro hides by Dr. Garrett, he left, with the intention of going to Odd Fellows hall, as he is a member of that order. The story told by Schwartz is as fol Jews:
 T came here three days ago from Globe, Arizona, and deposited $63, GOO in the National Bank of Commerce. of this city I sold my gold mine in Death Valley for sl6S,000 to the old Dominion Mining company Of Globe a few days ago and deposited S100,000 in the bank there. Five thousand 1 sent to my mother, who lives in Detroit Michigan. All my papers and certifi- cates of deposit I left with the Odd Fellows.
 T worked the mine in Death Valley alone and rode on horseback with some specimens to Globe, where I sold out to the Old Dominion company l came to Los Angeles to complete the transaction with their representative here. B. NJ. Hillard was the man with whom I conducted the business. I took out of the mine only a few hun dred dollars and then sold.
 T took dinner last night at an Ital. ian restaurant and cannot remember when I went there, but only a small sum was left when I reached here"
 Schwartz said he was kicked by a mule five years ago and received a fractured skull. He said he was Itrephined and wore a silver plate over the wound. but no mariis were found on his head when the surgeons examined him. His condi- ton was a puzzle to the doctors, but Dr. Garrett stated that he was un- doubtedly suffering from pressure on the right side of the brain, causing partial paralysis of his left side.
 In an effort to learn whether the man had means for the prolonged medical treatment which he seemed to require Prank M. Douglas, president cf the Bank Of Commerce, was. called up on the phone. He knew nothing of the deposit for so large an amount as $63 900 had one been made.
 Although Schwartz continued to have occasional eonyuIsions he was finally quieted. and expressed de sire to leave the hospital, which was granted by Dr. Wiley in tae absence of Dr. Garrett He had been gone less than an hour when Jailor StO- ry received Q message from a Mir. Hillard. asking that the best of nedi- cal treatment be given the man, as he was irresponsible at times. Hillard agreed to stand sponsor for Schwartz and said that he was man Of wealth.
 General orders have been given to patrolmeH at the central station to look out for Schwartz and bring him back to the hospital if found.-Los Angeles Herald

AN ANCIENT MAP
 OF 4ARRIzOHA'
The Western Part of the United States Looked Different
 Fifty Years Ago.

Whether CT not those who have been accustomed to call or spell iL Arizona have been convinced of the error of their ways, the discussion O. that matter which has taken place in the columns of The Republican has mot been without good result. James C. Goodwin of Tempe became so in- terested in the subject that he resur- rected an old map which had been in his possession for years. He took it to the capital yesterday and pre- sented 1t to Governor Kibbey, who had the fact of the presentation and the name of MT. Goodwin printed on4 it. and it will henceforth adorn the walls of the executive chamber.
 The map was published by Johnson just fifty years ago. in 1858. 1t is the map of North America. embracing Haa outlying islands, but the greatest at tentien is given to the United States as the United States then was. It is also county map of tue states.
 The map is in an excellent state of preservation and but for the date on it and the manner in which it repre- sents this country as having then been divided it would seem to have been issued at much later period.
 Arizonia (that is the way it was spelled them embraced strip of ter ritory bounded on the south by the present international line. It was bounded on the east by its present line to a point nearly as far north as the thirteenth parallel, from which the northern boundary ran west about as far as Casa Grande, whence it turned north to point nearly on the thirty first parallel and then west to the Salt river. It then followed the Salt and Gila rivers to the present west ern boundary,
 The overland stage line is marked, but there are no towns or settlements. The location of the Indian tribes are designated, but many of them are u1l- familiar There was no Colorado then and no Nevada. New Mexico oyerhung tArizonia" on the north and east, and Utah from California to Kansas. The territory Of Nebraska occupied the whole north central part of the country.

honor the fact of Hawkins fatffar be- Ing in the insane asylum, his honor seemed to have never heard of it be- fore. Just why we, strangers bo Hawkins, have taken up this case. is this: We have been informed Of the following facts concerning this un- fortunate insane boys case: We are Informed that an officer of the law has paid this boy, 22 years old and insane from all appearances, to confess: that he has been paid money to con less, his only thought being to obtain money for his wife's wants. she being about to become mother and at that time being confined in jail. He has confessed to things he did not do. Furthermore, we are informed that there was 9 promise given that If tais confession was made he wculd not hang. Confessed criminals generally are not given the full penalty of the law. But crimes are being committed In the name of justice every day. We first went to try and prepare MT. Hawkins for the end. and we found him confined with a lot of Chinamen. The confusion was such that 1t was almost impossible to talk with him. and he in sight of the scaffold OF which he is to meet his death. Our laws have enough of the dark ages in them already without adding inhuman and brutish treatment to our unfoFtu nate brothers. Are the people of Tue son going to submit to this judicial murder and not raise a voice for jus tice? I take it that there are citizens here in Tucson that want to see jus tice done. There certainly must be part of Tucson's citizens who are more than half civilized. The political ma chine of this county is sadly in need of repairs

THE WATER PROBLEM
 ON LA FIESTA RANCH
A Lake Constructed 30 Feet in
 Diameter.

DOUGLAS, Aug. 7.-(Special. )- The water problem for the La Testa ranch has been solved after a heavy expense and hard struggle to capture both the river and the desert. The river has the water, but the. question of forcing it to yield up it's treasure has been difficult one Now, how ever, says the Wickenburg News, the seemingly impossible has been accom- plished and a small lake near the riv- CT has been excavated which produces sufficient water to insure the crops for the summer, which is indeed a great victory.
 The lake is about eighty feet m di- ameter and contains water to a depth of ten to twelve feet. A No. ' cenrrf- fugal pump throws 120 miners inches, or 60,000 gallons, of water per hour. which is sufficient to irrigate consid- erable land. From time to time the lake will be considerably enlarged to meet the requirements, and eventually lake of no mean proportions will be one of the attractions of La Testa ranch.
 Ali the borders along the irrigation ditches are lined with eucalyptus and catalpa trees. the future of which is assured These trees number several thousand, and besides these there is a nursery on the ranch containing ten thousand eucalyptus trees.
 In the two orchards are fruit trees numbering into thousands, and the two vineyards are of almost equal pro portions. There are also something like hundred acres Of alfalfa all of which require great amount of wat CT. me conquest of the desert in this case is an unusual victory and IL seems almost beyond belief that hun dreds of tons of alfalfa raised near Wickenburg is being marketed here right along. The very idea of an al falfa field in this part of the country seemed out of the region of possibnf- ties a few years ago.

WORK FOR LITTLE GIRLS.
Simple Hemsttching of Towels Is
 Easily Taught.

Home made face and hand towels wear much better than ready-made ones, and are so soft and pleasant to sew that quite little girls are often delighted to help with the simple hem stitching Those for best use and the spare room may have an insertion of fine crochet or torchon lace and this is stronger than making drawn thread pattern in the huckaback, a yard and quarter of which should be allowed for each towel,
 One seldom sees fringed towels nowadays, but if they are preferred the fringes should be overcast before they are taken into use. This is done by laying the edge of the towel over the first finger of the left hand-hold- ing the fringe between the first and second fingers-and working an over cast stitch to prevent the loose threads from unraveling. Linen thread, not ordinary sewing cotton should be used for this purpose, as also for hemstitching or drawn thread work on huckaback towels.

Tailormade Suit Accessories.

Much of the smart effect of any tailormade suit depends upon it's ac. cessories. Needless to say, anything savoring of the directoire should net be accompanied by linen collar and a stiff little tie. These belong to what is known as the English type of street suit, meaning the severely tailored box or semi-ftting coat and gored or plait ed skirt, minus trimming. With the French model there should be a high lace collar or chiffon stock-giving the desired soft effect about the chin and the frilly lacey front, in addition to the wrist rufiles, which should be of finest handweave or hand embroidery immediately white

HER IMPRESSIONS OF AMERICA.
Ellen Terry Pleased with Everything
 But Steam Heat.

The first institution in America that distressed me was the steam. heat. It is far more manageable now than it was, both in hotels and theaters be. cause there are more individual heat CTS. But how I suffered from it at first cannot describe. used to feel dreadfully i'll, and when we could not turn the heat off at the theater the play always went badly. My voice was affected too. At Toledo once if nearly went altogether. Then the next night, after a good fight, we got the theater cool, and the difference to the play was extraordinary.
 If I did not like steam heat I loved the ice which is such a feature at American meals. Everything is served on ice l took kindly to their dishes-their cookery at it's best is better than the French-and l sadly missed plauked shad, terrapin, and the oyster-at it's best and at it's cheapest in America-when l returned to Eng land.-Ellen Terry, in McClures.

BLUE BEST OF ALL.
Excellent Material to Use for the New
 Autumn Suit.

In the autumn tailor suit tints there lo numbered a new blue bearing the hOnored name of Edison. This is also among the faded shades; that is, so soon as it is put into juXtaposition With navy or peacock. At first glance 1t seems to be of the electric family, as naturally it should be, but it is much more dull a fact which does not seem quite just to the great modern magician whose name it bears. At any rate. this new blue seems to take with woman generally, and bids fair to be tremendously popular for the simpler type of tailormades. One req son is that navy has been used for so long and that peacock is rather etartlins and has way of swearing at any other tint of azure with which it Is combined As blue of dull tone is always a practical shade for year. round utility wear, it is the best of all colors for the woman who, greatly against her natural inclination must make one costume do duty for va riety of occasions.

Worlds Biggest Dam.

The lake formed by the construction of the Assuan dam across the Nile is the largest artificial body of water, but this will be outstripped by what is known as the Engle project by which the waters of the Rio Grande are to be impounded for the benefit of the farm ing interests. The dam will be of con- create, built between the bluffs of solid rock, and it's base will be 65 feet below the bed of the river. Its top will be 19O feet above the river bed, and it will be 1,150 feet long at the crest. At the bottom the construction will be 180 feet thick and 20 feet at the top. This will make a reservoir 175 feet deep and 45 miles long, cover ing 3S,400 acres of ground. The water supply derived from this work will irrigate 200, 900 acres of land located in Texas, New Mexico and Mexico. The cost of the work will aggregate $7,200000

Trimminqs.

That this is a season of elaborate trimming cannot be doubted. Elm broidery and soutache braid are even more in vogue than they were last season. The latter decorates net or filet and embroidery, either applied or carried out in designs, is worked in with 1t.
 At the same time the rule of great simplicity of adornment, as regards suits, and of unlimited decoration, in the case of dressy toilets, whether designed for day or evening wear, holds good and women should be care ful to see that dresses are trimmed suitably for the purposes for which they are intended.
