It looks very much to the man up the tree as if Bisbee was trying to hand Douglas the badger fight" and expecting Douglas to pull the string will Douglas do it? It ap- pears that the Bisbee Board Of trade met the other night and went over the entire county seat removal fiasco again and arrived at the result which might mean as follows, to-wit We, the all-wise people of Bis bee, knowing that Douglas IS full of "rubes" and other peo- pie who are blind-that We the aforesaid wise men" dC hereby pro'ce e e d to throw dust in the eyes ot tn, sulphurettes by throwing our heaviest influence (?l to- wards securing for Douglas tn Government Army Depart ment headquarters--a thln; worth going after to ba sure because it will have a monthl, pay roll of $50,000.

Scattered all through these tunnels and shafts-are found the stone ham mers with which the primitive miners of possibly prehistoric days removed the mineral paint which, judging from the vast amount oi work done, must have been in great demand At that time
 In this immense hill i- enough red paint to supply the world for many years to come.

Government Given Until
 August to Settle Terms

Mir. Juan Arizmendez has just re- turned from the Sonora capital, and from him We gather much interesting information regarding the present state of the Yaoui troubles in the lower country
 Gen. Bule, the chief oi the rebel lious Indians, has requested oi the Mexican officials until August to make formal surrender and conclude treaty of peace. In the meantime he will suspend hostilities and send word out to all his scattered bands to assemble together st a given point to agree upon details and terms
 The asssmblage of the Indians will take place in July and the result oi the pow WOW will be immediately communicated to the Mexican off. cials. Ii Is probable that the Indian, sill ask for an allotment of the land, in one reservation between the citie, oi Hermosillo and Guaymas, wher' they will settle with their families many oi them, however, going out |, work, their labor being recognized o very great importance to the develop, msnt of the state and its resources.
 The NogAles Times says It Is cal. culatei that there are still some iiv uf -iS thousand Gaqais-inen, Womei and children--iH sonora, perhaps S0' oi them being "hroncos' or hOs;iles Two or three thousand, probably hay been deported since the trouble began
 It Is therefore reasonably sure Una there will be no more trouble with tn rcbellious Indians, and that peace vii be duly established in August wit terms advantageous 10 both sides.

A CITY BANkRUPT?.
CHAIRMAN w. Nj. WINS PRE- pIcTS CIVIC IMPROVEMENTS
 WILL SUFFER.
HE SAYS NEW YOEk IS IN BAD SHAPE
Too Much Politics and Net Enough able Credit to Only S1a Million Dol lsrs--Is on the Edge of Municipsi Failure--Draws Dark Picture.

New York, Dec. 23.-Declaring that New York city was baa rupt and would remain so for many years to come. William M Wins. chairman of the charter revision ccmyission. told the members of the City club Tuesday that no improvement of any magni- tude could possibly be undertaken, and that the next city administration was doomed to denunciation because 1t would be unable to provide for the city Improvements which the property owners will demand. Mir. Wins said In part:
 "We find ourselves at the present ure. If l ask who is responsible for this get no answer except the puerile and useless platitudes which have be- come the stock-intrade of our pro fessional politicians has been too much politics and not enough bus mess.
 When Greater New York came into being on January | :. 1898, the net fund ed debt was S246,696.S34 At the present time the net funded debt. cal eulated upon the same basis, is S636 100000. Tta.e figures from the tax office. thereto. e. do not necessarily mean that the taxable wealth has act ually increased in the same propor. ton as the increase in assessed values because at the beginning of the decade a smaller proportion of taxable wealth was taxed than is now taxed
 "The city now has an available crcd- t of only about $S.500 900 and Is with put means of increasing that credit
 ntil after the first of next July so hat this sS.50o.0oo must provide for III requirements which for the next six months must be met out of the proceeds Of corporate stock"

Flushing, N. r., Dec. 23.-The tria of Thornton Jenkins Hains reached 2 climax of dramatic intensity Monday when Mrs. Helena k. Annis, widow oI William E. Annis, in d deliberate re cital lasting for nearly three hours pictured the killing of her husband as he sat at the tiller of his boat, by Capt. Peter c. Hains, Jr Mrs. AnniS nearly tainted few minutes before her examination was concluded, but quickly recovered.
 It was hard day for the defense and counsel for Hains was exhaust ed from the cross examination which was directed toward the states wit nesses in an effort to shake their tes timony. Thornton Hains lost much of the easy nonchalance that has characterized his manner in previous sessions. When led from the court by two deputy sheriffs the prisoner ap. peared dejected and careworn.
 Mrs. Annis made an impressive fig. ure on the witness stand as she told in quiet tones her story of August 15 at the Bayside Yacht club. Several new points ado d dramatic interest to the trial. When Annis boat came alongside the float the widow testi. lied Thornton Hains beckoned to his brother and led the way down the runway The shooting followed with in a few moments.
 Lawyer Mcintyre sought to discredit the "beckoning episode" which the state asserts proves that the author induced the army officer to the crime, and kept Mrs. Annis on this point under cross examination for nearly half an hour Hains' counsel deveE oped that Mrs Annis had not until last week told District Attorney Oar rin that the defendant had beckoned to his brother.
 T ran down the runway and Thorn. ton Hains pointed his revolver at me turned to go back and he pressed the weapon against my back, saying You get out of here or you will get he same. ran up the runway and. ookisg back, saw my husband falling into the water" so said Mrs. Annis in relating her story and this new evi, fence the lawyers for Hains struggled yainly to discredit
 Another important witness was Charles H. Roberts. Bayside Yacht club member and an eyewitness of the shooting

THE THIRD AND LAST TIME.
Polk County Looks Good to Man Who
 Has Trayeled Much.

l. k. Woods and family have returned from Oregon. They left Polk county nearly year ago and since that time Tue Star has received repeated orders to chang e the address of their paper from place to place until It left no doubt that they were prospecting the entire Northwest. The last order to come was from Vending Ore, and said "back to Mena. There is no place like it."
 Mir. Wood called at The Star office today. He had that satisfied smile of a wanderer home again, and stated among many oth r complimentary things that if the people where he had been knt W of the advantages this country had over all places he had seen since he left here there would be no vacant land in Polk count,.
 Mir. Wood is of an energetic disposition and three times he has left this section because he thought he cou.d make more some other place. He now feels that if Polk county soil will serve him again he will never leave it.
