This IL what Mr.. Parsons fired back:

The rain yesterday did not dampen the spirits of a number of the contest hustlers. They went right after the business with a result that their scores show good gains. Among the top liners there is the inevitable changing about George goes over Joe again. These two young men are determined to get up to the top and force Stover down, but they will have a battle royal, for Stover is about the most consistent top liner that could be found.
 Yesterday was a good one for the flower downs" Birdie Fowler and Annette Earle each had a sunshine re- port even though the day was a rainy one. Lee Roberts and Dana Gilbert the Wickenburg boys are not any where near the top, but each day finds them growing scores. Oliver King was out in the rain hustling all day yesterday and has something in the way of a gain in score to show for it Gertrude Morris was able to score enough to carry her up the list one line.

A PRESCOTT FIRE
 IRON WORKS BURNED
One of the Proprietors Places the Loss At S23,000.

The Prescott Iron Works were de- stroyed by fire on Thursday morning. The fire was discovered by Agent Murphy of the s. r. r. X P. railroad about two o'clock in the morning and the fire department responded quickly to the alarm but by that time the fire had gained such headway that nothing could be done but cOnfine it to the structure. It is not known how it originated.
 The property was owned by Hughes and Griffith formerly of the Union Iron Works of this city MT Griffith said that the loss would be in the neighborhood of $23OOO with no in surance. In addition to whatever stock was carried there was large collection of valuable patterns whose destruction makes up the greater part of the loss.
 Work is proceeding on the restora- ton of the Yavapai Club building which was lately damaged by fire. The insurance companies undertook the restoration of the building. The con- tract requires that it. shall be com pleted by May 1. -.

Swindlins as a Fine Art.

Soon after Mrs. Chadwick was
buried from her prison cell death ex-
posed the career of another woman
swindler, Mrs. Roberts, or Verneule,
who lived in the millionaire district of
New York city. Possibly both of the
women had for a model the notorious
Nine. Humbert of France. Nine. Hum
bert borrowed large sums from French
capitalists OH the strength of securities
that were a myth. Mrs. Chadwick did
the same. and the Verneule woman
traded largely upon her supposed close
connection with wealthy New Workers
whose financial standing is as. good as
gold.
1t is strange that men of business
allow themselves to be tricked out Of
money by ome who come to them
with transactions which on their face
appear to be of the ordinary type.
Dealing with men, they are rarely
caught. 1t is a bold man who attempts
a wholesale raid on the Golfers Of an
other man who has had the sense to
accumulate much money. This is Il
campaign calling for an adept. But
when the tempter is a woman With
good looks or volubility or attractive
dress and manner the business mans
caution capitulates in many cases. In
an enormously wealthy period these
episodes are to be expected. Woman's
natural influence over the opposite sex
does not wholly account for these
vagaries. The craze for money para
lyzes sense, and the subject of a dual
hypnotism sees values where none ex-
list. He takes the hook baited by a
| woman and is lost.

The Wen Who Speak Spanish.

N 80 - ~ - F%s. - -
Here is Argentina getting ready to
celebrate the one hundredth. anniver-
sary of the beginning Of her war for
independence in 1910. She invites the
Pan-American congress to meet that
year in Buenos Ayres. her capital. The
congress has met once in the United
States, once in Mexico and once in
Brazil. The ambition of Argentina to
receive this honor is a reminder of the
steady growth and future promise of
the Spanish a in America. And the
Spaniards in the old world are not de-
clining. We quit knocking old Spain
the moment u ships were done
knocking holes in her navy. and we
have never attributed u easy victory
to inherent ~degeneracy Of our foes. AS
a race the Spaniards have held their
own in the world, although the mother
country has not retained her once
proud position among the world pow
ers.

and Ego to the dogs" on their own
hook is shown by the progress that has
been made in Latin-American coun-
tries in less than 100 years Of free de-
velopment. Not the least notable fea-
ture of this development is the per-
sistence of the Spanish tongue in it's
purity, Notwithstanding that the South
American states have drawn from Eu-
rope thousands and thousands of i'm
migrants speaking other tongues. To
the Spanish speaking nations belongs
today more than one-fourth of the sur
face of the globe. In that future align
ment of races which it is often pre-
dicted the strife and competition of
civilization will bring about, the Span
iards in point of numbers and distribu-
ton and also in the value and strate-
gic Importance of their holdings will
find a leading place. The southern
half of this hemisphere is a most ia
vorable field for racial enlargement.
and the Spanish element in occupation
displays a vitality which gives hope of
future greatness.

The ARMY Career.

The recent Argument Of the secretary
Of wal that service in the army should
be made so attractive and desirable
that first class recruits will be at
tracted is not new, but it comes from
an authority which may be needed.
He insists that conditions should be
established that will elevate and sus-
tain the self respect of the enlisted
man.
There seems to be no reason why the
army may not be made as attractive
for the enlisted man as for the COM
missioned officer. 1t is generally be-
lieved that any officer in the service
can find better paying positions out
of the army than he can hope for in IT.
AS a rule an officer who leaves the
service for civil life gets on well. His
military training and experience are
highly practical, his habits good and
his character formed. 1t is not neces-
sary for an officer to go backward.
But for the average American young
nan service in the ranks is a back
ward step. and reform must take place
before good all around soldier blood
will take to the army in time of peace.

DEATH OF MRS FISCHER. ST..
A Pioneer and Aged Resident of Mt. Carmel
Passed AWAY SATURDAY..

Mrs. Fischer ST., one of the oldest'and
best known pioneer residents of Mt Car
mel, breathed her last on Saturday morn
ing, February 18th, 1908, shortly before
ten o'clock. Death was due largely to
the infirmities of old age, deceased being
in her seventy-sixth year. Until the
setting in of winter she had enjoyed
wonderful health and vlgor for one of
her years, and in fact none of the family
considered that death was nigh at hand.
Only the evening previous she bad been
sitting up talking and in the morning
was happily enjoying the company of
her daughter, Mrs. Hill. The approach
of death was only apparent a few min
utes before she passed peacefully away.
A short gasp as the soul took it's flight
from the earthly body being the only
intimation that four sons and six daugh-
tiers had been called upon to mourn the
departure of a loved mother whom they
had We'd with each other in trying to
make her remaining days, or years, of
life a comfort and a pleasure.
Mrs. Mary Ann Fischer was born in
Germany in the year 1882, leaving
Wurtemberg in 1852 when twenty-five
years old with her parents for America.
F~ollowing.the death her husbandin 1886
she came to Cavalier county from
Mildmay, Ont, along with her youngest
son, Louis Fisher inl888, nearly all the
grown up members of her family having
come out here to make their home
several years previous. The bereaved
family consists of six daughters and four
sons, the latter being John, Joseph,
Frank and Louis, all with the exception
of Joseph Fisher who resides at Wales,
living in the immediate neighborhood of
their mothers home at Mt. Carmel. The
daughters are Mrs. Mary Hill, of Mt.
Carmel, Mrs. Wagner, of Puyallup,
WASH, Miss Annie Fischer, of Mt.
Carmel, Mrs. John F. Messner, of Hast
ings Coulie, Alberta; Mrs. A. 1. Koehm-
stedt and Mrs. N. f. Charter, of
Langdon. Deceased also leaves an aged
sister residing in New York state, and
three brothers, two of the latter still
living in Germany. There are fifty-nine
grand children and nineteen great grand
children who are affected by the passing
away one beloved by all who knew her
and will deeply mourn her death.
The funeral held Tuesday from the
Catholic church of Nj. Carmel, of which
she was a devoted member, was attend
ed by a large concourse of friends and
neighbors. All of her children were
able to be present at the last sad rites
with the exception of Mrs. Messner and
Mrs. Wagner, their homes. being at to
great a distance to allow of their reach
ing here. The bereaved family have
the sincere sympathy of many friends in
their affection.
