Indian Monarch Of the Mosquito Coast

DR.. l.. E. Flanagan, a former citizen
OF Charlottesville, Va, but who has
for the last five years been living at
Cape Gracia,, an important town on
the east coast Of Nicaragua, is at the
Belvedere, says the Baltimore Ameri-
can. The doctor is a friend Of Gen.
Zelaya, president Of the republic Of
Nicaragua and has been tonored ny
him with several important Offices.

show their strain of African blood by

We are glad to learn that the Arizona delegation to the Denver convention will insist upon, and will probably secure a strong statehood plank in the national democratic platform. It will demonstrate the patriotism of the democrats of Ari- zona and it can do no harm. We cannot forbear adding though that on purely practical grounds any ac tion at Denver on the statehood question will be superfluous. The whole matter is already fully cov cred in the republican platform, the one by the way which forecasts the policies of the country for the four years next ensuing after March I, 1909 Still, the purpose of Chairman Packard and his associates to bring the statehood business before the Denver convention is very creditable to them.

 THF EVENTS OF A WEEK
Departure of Residents on Vacation
 A Serious Burning Accident.

Kelvin, June 29.-J. w. Beebe, Kel- wins popular postmaster, will go east
 the first of July for several months.
 He will visit his parents in New York
 and we all wish him a pleasant trip. Lillis Beebe will be in charge of the postoffice during her fathers absence. Ed. Divine met with a very painful accident last week He had been out driving with his mother and as they passed one of the stores she asked her
 son to get her a drink and in stepping down from the porch he slipped and fell on his right leg, breaking the knee cap. He was immediately taken to
 Florence and the knee put in plaster paris case. He is now in Kelvin and doing nicely.
 Miss Anna Halbert of Ray was ser iOusly burned last week. Her brother who is employed on the Ray company's drills, had asked her to clean coat
 of his with gasoline. So Miss Halbert
 secured a can of gasoline and was cleaning the coat out in the yard when the explosion occurred. There was a fire in the stove in the kitchen and it seems the heat from the stove must have caused the explosion, igniting
 Miss Halbert's clothing. The flames
 spread rapidly and if a Mexican pass
 ing the house at the time had not had
 presence of mind to pull her clothes off instantly, she might have been fla tally burned. Her side and arm were badly burned. pr. Broadway of Flor ence is the attending physician and reports that Miss Halbert is doing nice ly.
 Miss J. N. Baker, a nurse from Phoenix, is in charge of Miss Halbert, the young lady burned last week. Miss Baker has been a resident of Phoenix some time and is very proficient in her profession and Miss Halbert should do well under her careful attention. Miss, Baker can boast of a number of distinguished patients in Arizona, among which is MT. Chandler. the well known banker and land owner of Mesa.
 Dr. and Mrs. Brown are now well located in Congress. The doctor is kept very busy and is well pleased with Congress, but he has a yearning for Kelvin and just as soon as things get moving here we will no doubt have the doctor with us again. pr. Brown has a host of friends here and we will all be glad to see them again.
 There was a large congregation gathered on Sunday night at the open air services at the Staff House to lis ten to Rev. Friedley's splendid talk on Self Sacrifice" The subject was well illustrated and delivered in a very

forceful and convincing manner. Rev. Friedley has been coming here steady the last few years and his sermons are always enjoyable and interesting. The novel arrangement of the chairs was a brilliant idea of MT. P. Wiseman and proved very successful.
 Mrs. Sager and son, Arthur have re- turned from a visit to Florence and ex- pect to remain here awhile.
 Thos s. Trook has returned to Kel- win after an absence of six weeks. He rode overland to Phoenix, passing through Ray, Picketpost, Superior. Mesa and Tempe. The Superior mines are resuming work and have about twenty-fiv men working. The coun- try all along the route looks good and is fast being developed either for min ing or agricultural purposes. From Phoenix he travelled up the main line as far as Congress where he stopped with Dr. Brown, formerly of Kelvin. several weeks. MT. Trook visited the Octave mine and the AlveradO. former ly Fools Gulch, both gold pJbperties. and found a number of men working at both places and conditions favorable for going ahead on an extensive scale shortly. Wickenburg is also moving along nicely.
 There was an exciting accident at the P. & F. station at Kelvin yester- day J. Bates team attempted to push the waterfountain out of the way and got the worst of it. having the single tree broken right off at the axle. de got no passengers that day.
 Colonel P. T. McGrath is expected in I,elvin in day or so. The colonel re- cr'tlv purchased some Ycrv valuable mining claims in this locality and ex- poets to do considerable development work
 Mir and Mrs. T. B. Borrowdale are making quite a record these days as hunters. Their son Roy is working on the Ray drills at Ray.
 J. Jay Sullivan was a visitor in Kel- win yesterday and will inspect the val uable Renfro property of which he has lately. come into possession.
 Miss Halbert will. remain at the Staff House in Kelvin in order that Dr. of Florence may attend to her oftener.

THE SEA SERPENT CAUGHT.

THE SEA SERPENT CAUGHT.
 The long sought, real, simon-pure sea serpent has not only been seen again, off the Maine coast, but, if the narrative of several hardy toilers of the sea is to be credited, has been captured and the oleaginous portions of its anatomy reduced to the oil of commerce.
 If true, the narrative is sad, from a scientific point of view. The mon- ster is described as forty-five feet in length with a tail four feet long and six feet in breadth. It had a back fin running its entire length and was covered with a hide resem- bling in color and strength that of a circus elephant Strangely enough the creature had no teeth. Its esti- mated weight was 15,O0O pounds and it's eyes are described as bulging. The monster is said to have be come entangled in a mackerel net and was drowned after making des perate attempts to escape. All this, it is certified, occurred off Orr's Is land, in Casco Bay. Several four horse power dories were required to tow the serpent ashore.
 Up to the point of taking the ma rine freak in tow the narrative does not differ materially from the usual sea-serpent stories, always expected at the opening of the season at the summer resorts on the Maine and other coasts. But there is a marked difference, and it is this difference which aggravates the feelings, not to say arouses the anger, of the scientific people, and incidentally, in the mind of the average reader, dis credits the entire narrative.
 It is gravely announced that the fishermen having in their possession the only sea serpent in captivity did not realize the value of their prize, and at once proceeded to destroy its value as a specimen, by cutting it into pieces in order to procure the 17OO-pound liver and extract there from the oil.
 It was ever thus. Some untoward circumstance always obtrudes to prevent the verification of the ever prevalent story of the sea serpent. Considering the transparent means taken to explain the absence of the corpus deficit" it is extremely probable that the Maine prohibition law is not strictly enforced on Orr's Island and that the prevailing stim- ulant is of that peculiar quality which causes people to see things and depart from strict truth in mar rative

AIDES SLANG PROVES GREEK
TO sTAID OLD LONDON

LONDON, June 24.-The British
public had it's first sample of George
AIDE comedy the other night in THE
College Widow" at the Adelphi the
ater. The audience was composed
largely of Americans and conspicuous
in the boxes were Robert J. Wynne,
the American consul general, and his
daughters, and Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar
Lewisohn (Edna May).
The verdict on the play was inde-
cisive. The Americans were enthusi-
astic, but the English spectators were
interested. and puzzled by turns. The
management provided glossaries OF
George AIDE slang with the programs,
but much of the dialogue, particularly
the college slang, was Greek to the
English contingent. Many of the best
Jokes were received in melancholy
silence.
The company was almost entirely
American, and the acting was more
animated than the English are accus-
toned to. The fall of the curtain was
followed by some hooting, but applause
predosninated
1T is less drama than tornado
