JOE BUSH CAT CASE
 FINALLY SETTLED
Judge Thomas Finds William Woolf
 Guilty of Dischareing Firearms.

What promised to be a nine days wonder was brought to an end in three days with the finding of William Woolf guilty of discharging firearms within the city limits by Police Judge Thomas yesterday afternoon. This was the famous Who killed Joe Bush's Cat case, and while the decision of Judge Thomas had no bearing upon the momentOus question, it indirectly settled the controversy for all time. And While the city will be richer by fifteen dollars. the amount assessed Woolf by Judge Thomas for his recre- atiOn, MT. Bush has the satisfaction of feeling vindicated. although his pet AngOra is long since damaged beyond repair.
 It required the evidence of but one witness 10 complete the testimony necessary to give Judge Thomas the information he sought 10 arrive at a decision and MT. Bush produced that witness in the person of Theodore Al Varetta, lad 14 years old, who sWore that he not only heard both shots fired which resulted in the death of the cat, but actually saw the gun at the shOul- der of WOOlf upon both occasions when the discharge of the weapon Oc- cured. He said other boys also saw the shots fired and he had the boys there to substantiate him. They were not called.
 Mir. Woolf did not deny yesterday or the day previous that he fired the shots. nor did he admit it. His only testimony was that he had not told Mir Bush that he did fire the shots His failure to attempt to refute the testimony of the Alvaretta boy no doubt assisted Judge Thomas in ar irving at his decision Mir Woolrs Tine vas paid and peace and quiet reigns once more in East Madison street between Eleventh and Twelfth streets.

WHITE SLAYER"

The Unique Case of R. T. Rogers
 Prominent Nosaies Citizen.

Deputy United States Marshal Over lock, son of the United States mar shal arrived in the city yesterday aft ernOon with the United States pris- oners whom he win take to Florence today. One of them is d very much disgusted and sheepish looking indi- vidual R. T. Rogers. convicted of be- ing a white shaver" Rogers was operating at Nogales when the law took him by the "scruff of the neck" He is a man of about forty and has the appearance of having been an alert business man
 Rogers really was a prominent cit izen of NogaIes. His case is rather unique. Though he had brought a wo- man from Mexico for immoral pur- poses the trial developed the fact that Rogers had been living with the wo- man for several years and she had borne him two children. The children were in court as exhibits for the gov ernment.
 Heretofore it has been customary in such cases for the government to merely deport the woman in the case but this time the children involved in tiiC CcsC lHdtttTS- lfSttdU of the woman the government went after the man. and stubborn resist ance was offered. lawyers from three cities being employed. There was deep interest both because of the standing of the defendant and because the case was the first tried in Arizona. The final result was conviction with a fine of $500 and one years imprisonment in the penitentiary.
 The other prisoner was Chinaman. convicted of sailing under false colors He was without the proper certificate or check de" which a Chinaman must have to live in this country and he was using the certificate and name of another Chinaman.

Senator Hepburn Again.

Our great, good. aud sometimes ex-
tremely amusing friend. Senator Hepburn,
has broken loose again. This time the
Senator protests against the playing Of
Dixie" by orchestras not playing ex-
clusively for Dixie" audiences.
Senator Hepburn permits his dislikes TO
run away with him; and usually they
are dislikes of a more or less ridiculous
sort lie hates newspaper men. for one
thing. He ought not TO. Newspaper men
are. generally speaking. not half bad;
and Senator Hepburn could get along
with them famously. perhaps. If only he
would permit himself the luxury Of try
ing. Besides. the Senator may take It
from US. the newspaper men do not hate
him. On the contrary, they rather like
him. He furnishes them many pages Of
fairly interesting copy-and they know
full well that his bark is infinitely worse
than hts bite.
And just as newspaper men are good
fellows. so is Dixie" a good tune-a rat
thing good tune. Mr. Roosevelt says it is
'bully"-and the colonel knows a bang-up
tune when he hears it. too. Dixie al
ways gets the glad hand and much ap-
plause Why? Not because It is sectional
in appeal. but because it Is one Of those
tunes that stand YOU up and make you
holler. whether or no. That is a fact.
Dixie" is a hurrah compeller. There is
something about It that inclines people
TO fraternal jollihcatlon--everybody but
lone and lonesome Senator Hepburn.
Now, the Idaho Senator need not mag
Inc that he is going to depopularize
Dixie" by frowning upon it as tune
or seeking to suppress il in spots. Dixie
is one OF those things like the famous
"bum-bum" candy they sold at the Chi
cago Worlds Fair-the more you chew it
the bigger It gets.
II Senator Hepburn will yell the next
time the band plays Dixie" in his vi
cinity, and not growl, he will be surprised
perhaps. 20 find out how much better II
will make him feel.

F1les and Grns.honrer..

From the New York Times.
The ''strangest import which ever has
arrived at this port is thirty-eight Ave
foot bags Of dried flies on their way TO
Germany from the West Indies II IS
easier to say what Germany wants OF
the flies than why It went 10 Santa
Cruz for them. Our imports from Santa
Cruz come in bottles for ourselves rather
than In bags for our poultry. But why
should Germany go farther than the
United states for its chicken feed? Our
supply Of flies would meet any possible
demand. and our chickens get so much
better feed that they would willingly
allow their rations OF that sort 70 go TO
fatten the pauper hens OF Germany. In
fact. our supply Of flies Is so excessive in
part because our wastes sre so large. II
we consumed our food products more
closely, we would breed fewer flies on
the decomposition Of edibles. and perhaps
would then need 10 import bagged flies
ourselves 20 replace the present supply
OF table scraps
However. we were beginning to learn
even before our cousins German gave US
this hint. In the selfsame week that
they imported bagged flies we bagged
for our own use on a single farm l25
bushels of grasshoppers. We have been
slow in learning economy because we
could aaOrd to waste. or thought We
could.

A Slave Bill of Sale.

negro slave in independence more than
fifty years ago. 1t was In neat small
handwriting. on a small sheet Of old
fashion letter paper. Paper and Ink had
retained their color well. 1t is supposed
the paper was dumped out in the process
Of remodeling some old building. The
bill OF sale reads as follows:

The Panama Canal Exposition.

Although nothing can be done now with
the proposition to hold a Panama Canal
exposition. New Orleans, which wants the
show. is not idle by any means. When
the New Orleans officials presented their
claims to Congress they were rather APP
paled by the fact that san Francisco was
in the field with many millions ready at
hand TO insure the success OF the EXPOSE
ton without a government grant. New
orleans. at that time had only sl.0OO.O00.
and most OF that pledged by private sub
scriptions. But the need Of more money
has been recognized. and this 1t is pro-
posed to raise by special exposition tax
Gov. Sanders, of Louisiana. has called
an extra session or the general assembly
to convene August Is the sole purpose Of
which is to submit a new amendment
providing for an exposition tax that shall
yield S7.5OO.oo0. The matter has been much
discussed among the people Of Louisiana,
and the general sentiment is overwhelm-
ingly in favor Of such legislation. With
this sum. the s1.OOO.OOO already subscribed
and subscriptions already promised New
Orleans will come before the next session
OF Congress with not less than NO,O0OOoO
in hand with which TO start, and this sum
insures. it is thought a bigger. more
novel, and more magnificent exposition
than we have yet seen.
One most sensible plan of the execu-
tive committee having the matter OF the
exposition IN hand is that it shall be so
arranged in the matter Of laying out OF
grounds buildings. &C, as to make the
Improvements permanent in character. OF
the two main buildings to be erected for
exposition purposes. one will be turned
over TO the city for a great auditorium
and the other will be given TO the state
as a perpetual museum wherein may be
exhibited the products Of the various
parishes Of the State.
With the additional advantage which
the rapid raising OF such vast sums Of
money viii give her. New Orleans viii
come before the next session OF Congress
with other claims IN her favor Besides
her accessibility, Congress viii be asked
to take into consideration the recent
awakening Of the South and the fact that
within the past decade Northern capital
has established and fostered industry
there as never before.
After all is said. however. in behalf Of
New Orleans and San Francisco. the fact
remains that Washington is the place for
che exposition. Here it would be truly a
national celebration-the whole country's
show-and it should be under govern
mental auspices wholly.
