AN ARIZONA SUNSET
No Pen Can Describe It's Marvellous Beauty, No limner's Brush Fasten
 Its Gorgeous Hues on Canvas

Last evening. just as a lean streak of light bsde farewell to the ret,ine
 sun, an exclamation ca me 10 the liJ s
 of e half dozen Tom hs tone visitors in
 unison. expressing their admiration of
 an Arizona sunset. With a feeling oi
 pride in our beloved territory. we
 would have gladly given our Christ
 mas dinner to have had these same eastern people look upon one real, gorgeous Arizona sunset,
 The spectacle which fixed their case
 was not even q suggestion by tie side of the sure enough Arizona sunset, where gold and silver, and oriental purple, and baoy blue bare, and pink, and hundred glorious, blended col- ors are reflected from frowning cloud, and verdant hills and .no. capped mountain top, till the contemplation of it carries the observer into 4 won der land of bewildering fantasies and visions of indescribable beauty be yond. If We could catch, or paint, or garner or in any manner compsss the genuine effect of A superb Arizona sunset, as west of Tombstone the god of day, sinks from sight beyond the of the majestic Whe,stones, we would not need to be grinding out current facts snd wholesome admoni. ton through the columns of The Pros- pector in order to connect with beans md khaki in this blessed territory.

Many Register But
 Do Not Vote

That there is a large percentage oi
 voters that register and then do not
 vote each election Is very evident.

The total number oi registered voters was 13)9, while the total number oi citi- zens who voted in tha county or election day according to the number taken from the pol! lists was 5iS6. Tombstone boiled within 50 votes Of the number registered while Bisbee and Lowell voted nearly third less than were registered.

Better Propositions
 Right at Home

Experience is dear school and fools will learn in TO other Go it boys, chase the goddess of fortune "where she isn't at." You will always see her dainty skirts fly up just over the top of the next hill. It is like following the mirage or going to the foot of the rainbow to find plate of gold. Nothing will ever teach the sucker, till he is burned, and: half the time, then, he will turn right round and do it over. Better stay at home boys. We have better proposi- tions right in Cochise county than these "new strikes ever dreamed of.

1t Falls on the
 Just and Unjust

And now as a fitting climax to the late tumultuous election as is the case after every titanic battle, the Lord sends rain. Rain to cool the at mosphere and the passions of men, rain to remind the spirit of Mortal that our little bat ties are nothing after all, just a transient passing whisper, while the elements and their creator endure forever.
 Man has no comprehension of space nor time, and this i: to call his attention to that little detail which he might have overlooked in the excite ment of the campaign. Now rain, sweet. heavenly rain descends like a benediction t( smooth out all human differ ences and lend a suggestion that We get down to busi ness.

NOT ON THE BILLS AT THE SCHlEFFEllN
The Devil Was a Good One and the
 Audience Appreciated Him.

It was a large and appreciative au iience that witnessed the production
 of the much herslded play, "The
 Devil" at the Schietfelin last night as
 rendered by the Halliday company.
 Probably no play in years has caused
 such universal talk as has this one,
 and the one reason of it is that the
 play is entirely devoid of depth, plot
 or anything else as is common in the
 dramas and problem plays of the day
 it is simply a story SO real to life.

HE LOVES ARIZONA
Tan Seang Bursts Into Tear Wheu Sentenced to Be 0eported 10
 His Native Country.

| Several who gathered in The sher- iff's office this morning witnessed for
 che first time in their lives an unusual
 exhibition of emotion by Chinamsn.
 It was Tan Seaug, who was yesterday
 ordered deported. Seang remarked to several that he might not see them again. and after shaking hands =i;h
 those he knew, pulled a handkerchief
 from his pocket to hide the tears that
 were falling from his eyes. Seang's
 case has excited much sympathy. He
 has been in Arizona for fourteen years
 on a certificate, which was recently discovered 10 be a forgery. None nf
 the officers believe that SeaBg was a party to the deception, but took the certificate from someone Shen he fret arrived under the impression that it Was legal and proper.-Phoenix Ga ze:te
 It is believed that Tan Seang at one time resided in Tombstone, but this could not be positively established Tan's case is unusual in that go many years elapsed before it was discovered that his cert icate was forgery. This may be due to the fact that the exclu- l sion law against the Asiatic races is being more vigorously enforced than and inspectors are more thorough in their examination of pa pers. Several cases of a similar ns- ture will come up before the court here st its present term Vsrily is the path Of the almond-eyed Sons of the Flowery Kingdom who sojourn in this more tcset with ,horns and h stiles than strewn with yioIets and 'oses.

 Ryan wants to get another look al the girl, for he belie-es that rhe can explain the sudden disappearance of a 2 25 diamond stud from his shirr font.
 It was one of the most clever thefts ever com mitted there. Ryan says tn the girl evidently bit the diamond from its isstenings. The girl claimed to have made . mistake in Ryan for her father, whom she was expecting on the train, and after she disap peared Ryan discovered his loss.

And:now, we are confronted with the problem of framing a constitution for the State of Arizona, that is, if the repub. iicans. carry out their pledge, and we hope they will. Now, it behooves the intelligent cit jzen to begin to think over the matter for a constitutional pro- vision is hard 10 set aside when once adopted. What do we want? What will be best for the new state? Are the peo- pie of the territory going to soberly get in and adopt constitution representlngt their vital interests, or, are they go- ing to t9rn this momentous mission unreservedly over to a lot of machine politicians to manipulate for the benefit of their own fraternity? It is time for the people of Ariz- ona to wake up and begin to think over this all-important matter.

Foot Cut Off.

Bob Acres. a well-known colored
man Of this city, while attempting to
board a moving passenger train at
Wellington Sunday evening about
! o'clock, was thrown under the
wheels of the car and his right foot
so badly crushed and l-1cerated
that amputation, just above the
ankle, was necessary. According to
witnesses of the accident, Acres and
another negro, attempted to board the
train just as it was pulling out Of
Wellington. It seems that Acres
and his compaion both jumped at the
same time but the latter got on first
and Ia some way knocked Bob or.
The accident happened at a place
where the embankment is high and
near the track and it is a miracale
that the negro was not killed. Acres
was employed at the livery barn Of
John Q. Young, ST., until a few
weeks ago when he went to work at
the McGrew mines. The amputatiou
performed by Or. Ryland.
