SLAIN MANS
 SON IS HERE
From Tuesdays Daily)

Albert Anderson, a son of the late s. H. Anderson, who was slain by John Bryant, a few days ago, near Thumb Butte, arrived from Los An geles, Sunday evening, to be present at the funeral of his father, which will take place today from Ruffner's s parlors. MT. Anderson left Prescott about seven years ago, locating on the coast, where he is engaged in busi- ness.
 He has received many expressions of condolenee since arriving here over the sad duty that faces him, and will probably remain here indefinitely. Sur viving the deceased is another son, Clarence, who resides at Los An geles, a daughter, Mrs. J. J. KulOia of Denver, and two brothers, whose present weherabouts are unknown.

A DISAPPOINTED MAIDEN.

A woman who has rejected five suitOrs has written an essay upon Some Faults of American Men. '" Needless to say, no man would have the courage, even if he possessed either the imagination or the facts, to discuss a theme so rude as "Some Faults of American Women.' But she at least has as material a negative basis, even if she consistently de- clined matrimony. It appears that all those who wooed in vain this maid se- we're were men of collegiate educa- ton and professional training. What requirement did they lack? Their fault, it appears, was that they did not sympathize with the interest of this fair one in music, art, literature, and social life. They were all con- ventionally moral, but also exasper- atingly dull. They had not the savoir faire of the European gallant. They did not discover little corners where to take tea; they did not plan moon light rides or play the piano. Their love-making was too direct and prac- tical, devoid of romance, and so this strict Portia judged them adversely.
 It is to be noted that this severe critic is herself a college graduate. Perhaps she has had more leisure since she emerged from the elasslc shades to retain their charm and cul- tivate the graces of scholarship than have the men, forced to confront the concrete problems of the work-a-day world. But a more plausible conject- ure is that precisely the right suitor has not put in his appearance. There are men who contrive to fight the bat tie of life and yet to retain the aptitude to please characteristic of the parlor knight. This fairl lady may rest assured that chivalry has not vanished, even if Don Quixote tilts only in the pages of ironic Ger vanes.

THE PRICE OF MATRIMoNY.

The price of liberty was long ago fixed at eternal vigilance, and a Pittsburg preacher has now fixed the price of matrimony in the Smoky City at $2,OOO a year and says that he will hereafter refuse to marry any couple unless the bridegroom has an assured income of at least that much.
 This clergyman asserts that at the present cost of necessities this amount of money is necessary annually to maintain a family in decency, and, inasmuch as, according to his view, poverty leads to divorces, he does not purpose to assist in the spread of the divorce evil.
 The Pittsburg minister's estimate is high, in the opinion of the Washing ton Star. It is altogether a question of temperament and taste. Some peO- pie cannot afford to marry on 5000 a year, because they lead $6,000 lives. Again, there are many men who are perfectly competent to maintain homes on $1,OOO a year or even less, be- cause they are good managers and have good habits and are fortunate enough to have good wives. It is the combination that tells the story and not the separate individuals.
 If the Pittsburg minister were to regulate his matrimonial services psy- chologically rather than financially he would be conferring a greater boon on society. If he would refuse his of fees to those who are obviously un- fit for marriage through being unsuit- ed to mate he would do well. In some of the states efforts have been made to regulate marriage by the prohibi- tiOn of licenses to persons suffering from certain physical afflictions and in the main this is an eminently wise move. But no amount of human en-

D|SRECARD|NG WARNING
 PARTY R|DE T0 DEATH
Rock Gang Foreman Pleaded in Vain Endeayoring to Halt Foolhardy
 Occupants of Motor.
Continued from Page one.)

Five shots had been lighted, one or more days before, and one had failed to fire.
 Disregarded Warning.
 Sunday the fifth was fired, and the party were held up twenty, min utes, when they seemingly all decided it had missed again, and thougt it was safe to proceed, even thought the foreman of the rock men pleaded with them not to go ahead.
 Lyall, the motorman, came from Steins, New Mexico, having also lived in Douglas.
 A brother arrived here this after noon, about the time his body came from Kelvin, and will take the body back to Steins for interment.
 Soleman was the only married man in the party. His wife is the young est sister of J. F. Cleveland, Governor Sloan's secretary, who will take the bodies of Coleman and Freeland to OeuNeT lOIuOIIOW
 Grorfon's mother lives in Phoenix, and a married sister, Mrs. S. c. Fitz- gerald, is here from Kelvin. His funeral will be held here tomorrow
 A later report from Kelvin, briefly describing the incident, says the blast was "under the motor car," but this seems impossible to some, and does not coincide with stories of some of the men who came from there, and who say it was in a bank or on the side of the cut, a little above the track.
 Undertakers have worked hard all day at Kelvin, and this evening in Phoenix, where the sight in Mohn and Easterling's parlors was most grew some.
 SIX BODIES, ALL WITH THE HEADS TORN OFF, SOME OF THEM ENTIRELY MISSING, SOME HALF GONE, ARE BEING MADE AS PREsENTABLE AS POSSIBLE, AND PREPARED FOR SHIPMENT
 It is not likely any easket will be opened at destination.
 President D. c. Jaekling of the Ray company reached Kelvin today, to investigate the terrible accident.

ALL FOR A FEW DOLLARS.

Essayist Hardy, in a "Book on Manners" tells his readers how to do the right thing at the right time and in the right manner. All this is of interest, and no doubt the book is worth the price; but as he pro- gresses with his subject, MT. Hardy becomes more than an essayist-he becomes a moralist, and at :his task he shows himself proficient.
 He points out that no man should permit his personal appearance to be made a subject of mirth, that his manners should be in keeping with his surroundings, etc. Excellent ad- vice, but it is only when MT. Hardy reaches the last chapter that he bril- liantly illumines the whole problem. As a summum bonum, he concludes:
 GA good wife keeps her husband in shape by continual pruning. If he says anything silly, she affection ately tells him so. If he declares he will do some absurd thing, she finds means to prevent him doing it. A wife is a wholesome, though at times painful, pair of shears, that clip off the growths of marital self eonceit, folly, and sin. If Dr. John sons wife had lived, there would have been no hoarding up of orange peel, no touching all the posts in walking along the streets, no eating and drinking with disgusting vorac- ity. If Goldsmith had been married, he would never have worn that ridie- ulous and memorable coat. Whenever you find a man taking absuIdly, odd ly dressed, or exhibiting any eeeen- tricity of manner, you may be sure he is not married. If he were, these wrong growths would have been clip ped off by his wife,
 Here in consise language and in effective style is an argument in favor of marriage. To the bachelors who have been waiting for some plea that would appeal to their pride as well as heart, why look furtherP Matri- mOny is thus made attractive to the man who would avoid being made ridiculous before his friends, or who needs the pruning process to keep his growth directed rightly Two dollars and four bits will do all this, for that is the cost of a marriage li- cense in this county.

AN INDIANA ARCADIA.

In all probability, you have never heard of Orlean, Ind. It is doubtful, moreover, that Orlean ever heard of you, unless you are some parsonage of great importance and renown, which is not likely. But if you are the ordinary, wholesome, good natured person we suspect you to be, you will be interested in a little story coming out of Orlean-a curious and engaging recital, too.
 The good people of Orlean forgot to hold a municipal election the other day, which, under the law and the charter of the burg, they most as- suredly should have held. The terms of the mayor and eouncilmen expired by limitation some time ago, but so quietly and unostentatiously that mo- body noticed it until long after it was all over. Then one of The eoun- cilmen bethought him that some thing was wrong. It appears to have UCCh NdkuC AO"CNCAy so he hied himself to a fellow coun- cilman and inquired of him concern ing certain dates, and so on. By and by, it transpired that there was no legal city government whatever in existence and that the election through which the same should have been provided was not only long past due, but gone to protest. "Why," " said the mayor, who was really noth- ing more than a near-mayor at the moment, CT am not the executive head of this town. It has no head; nor has it any feet or hands. We are simply running free for all. Still, everything seems to be going along all right, and I hardly see where we have lost anything, if it is a little irregular"
 What a peaceful, restful, happy place Orlean must be. So satisfied are the inhabitants thereof they ae- tually forgot about politics, elections, campaign pledges, and what not of that persuasion! No pointing with pride or viewing with alarm for them. No abuse and mudslinging and sev- ering of friendships. No blasting of characters and reviving of ancient scandals. Nothing of that sort in this Indiana Arcadia There all is love and sweet content.
 The grass may grow and the cows may roam on the so-called streets of Orlean. It may be a mere flag sta tion along the Squedunk branch of the X. Y. z. system, for aught we know. It matters not to the pur- pose of this argument. Orlean is a blessed place, an excellent place, a haven, in fact, for those who wou1I flee "far from the maddening crowd g ignoble strife" Therein must dwell that perfect peace that passeth all understanding.
 Think of it! They actually forgot to hold elections in Orlean!

SEXTUPLE MURDERER.

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 5.-Unless another reprieve is granted, which is considered unlikely, tomorrow will be the last Sunday on earth for Howara Little, who was convicted of the mur- der of the Justis family in Buchanan county, last September. The sextuple murderer is to be put to death in the electric chair in the state prison here Friday.

Some, who witnessed the accident, said one body, probably that of Joyce, was thrown two hundred feet in the air.
 Bieber was buried beneath falling rock, and his body was not reeov- cred until nearly dark, Sunday.
 An inquest was held on the bodies of six men, Sunday, and on that of Bieber today. The latter s body will be brought here tomorrow.
 Left Stage for Death.
 Coleman left Phoenix for Kelvin Sunday morning, to report to Henry Krumb, consulting engineer, to whom he was assistant.
 Boarding the stage at Kelvin, he was hailed by Freeland, a former friend and elassmate in the Colorado School of Mines, where both were graduated.
 He deserted the stage and joined Freeland and his party to go to Ray. Coleman's head was nearly all blown off, and part of Freeland's was gone.
 Coleman lost two-thirds of his right arm and part of his right foot.
 Krenz was the third mining en- gineer in the employ of Krumb. He was also horribly mutilated.
 Almost Beyond Identification.
 In fact, none of the bodies except that of Lyall, the motorman, could be identified by the face. Clothing, iewelry and other marks were depend ed upon for identification, though all is established unquestionably.
 The first report that J. B. Joyce was a brother of the Ray eompany's chief assayer, was erroneous. J. B. Joyce was one of three in the civil engineering crew on railroad work, his home being in Lewiston, Maine.
 Were On Pleasure Trip.
 As the railroad engineers were not working, Sunday, they started to Ray on a pleasure trip.
 The youth of all of them is un- usual in a party assembled so by chance and the fact that six of the seven were technical men, makes the chance they took seem all the more startling.

Editorial Comment
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

What we may call the "ofieial schedule" of Haney's comet was an- nounced by Prof. Russell Tracy Craw- ford of the University of California, before the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, a few evenings since. Dis eussing the comet and its activities, Prof. Crawford said:
 "At present it seems that the comet will make its nearest approach to the sun on April 19, at a distance of about half that from the sun to the earth, or about 5O,OOO,OOO miles. Its nearest approach to the earth will be May IS, at which time it will be within 1O,OOO,OOO miles of us-closer than any other known body in the universe, with the single exception of the moon. According to the pres ent data it is a strong probability that we shall witness a most unusual phenomenon May IS, at which time the comet will lie in a line joining the earth and the sun, so that the ob- jeet will be projected upon the suns surface, giving us what is termed a transit of the sun.
 "As the tail is directed away from the sun it will at the time envelop the earth. From this we have ab- sOlutely nothing to fear. Such thing has happened before, although we knew nothing about it until it was all over and computation revealed the phenomenon. June 30, 1861, the earth passed through the tail of the great comet of that year.
 "On January 15, Halley's comet made its closest approach to the planet Mars at distance of about 40,000,000 miles. Just what is hap pening and what is going to happen as regards its path for the next few months is one of the problems taken up by the comet committee of the Pacific Astronomical association. This committee has asked Prof. A. O.. Luesehner, head of the students ob- servatory of the University of Cali fornia, to undertake this work, and under his direction calculations are being made at the present time Within a few weeks we shall be able to state more definitely whether there will be a transit of the sun and whether we shall pass through the tail of this famous comet.
 'The comet is reported as visible to the naked eye at the present time in the clear sky of the Arizona high lands. It is becoming brighter and brighter every day, so that we may all hope to see it soon with the naked eye. At the beginning of March it will set about three hours after the sun. About the middle of that month it will be lost to view in the suns light until the end of April, when it will be seen before sunrise. Toward the end of May it will again be an evening object, when it will probably be very brilliant, and then fade away as rapidly"
 Prof. Crawford paid a tribute to Haley, who was born in 1856 and succeeded Flamsteed as royal astron- omer. Halley's greatest gift to sci ence and the world, Doctor Crawford said, was in urging his contemporary, Sir Isaac Newton, to publish his ''Principia," in which the noted sci enlist enunciated the law of gravita- ton. Haley out of his meager means paid for the cost of the publication.

"A husband is a detriment to any actress,' said Maud A. to Charles F. Morton, according to evidence in the latter's divorce suit in Judge Nor gan's court. Perhaps one husband is, but if contemporary history counts for anything, several of them-taken one at a time, of course-must be quite a help.-New York Sun.

Killed By A Railroad Train.

Anthony J. Morgan, husband of Mrs. Ida
Morgan, sister of Miss Elizabeth Anthony,
who formerly conducted millinery store
in this town, was killed on Wednesday.
December 7. by railroad train, at Brad
dock, Pa. Mrs. Morgan was intimately ac-
quainted with MANY of our citizens, who
will mourn with her in her sad bereave-
ment. The following particulars of the
death of Mr.. Morgan are taken from The
Daily News-Herald, of Braddock:
Mr.. Morgan was crossing the tracks
just short distance from his home in an
effort to reach the Braddock station where
he took the train each morning for Pitts
burg, where he was employed as expert
bookkeeper for the Du Pont Powder Com
pany. He reached the tracks at 1928
O'Clock, and just as he started to cross the
fast mail train No. 48. due at that time,
There was no opportunity to escape and
Mr. Morgan was struck and hurled from
the track. One arm was broken and skull
fractured, but ii was believed that unless
internal injuries had been sustained he
might live He died two hours after the
accident.
He was an active worker in the First
Baptist Church here, was member of the
Board of Trustees and Unidentified with all
departments of church work. No move
ment of he Christian or civic uplift was
started here without his earnest cO-opera-
ton and hi. ability and energy made his
efforts most valuable. When moral issues
we're involved in political contests. he was
always found in the forefront and he was
known far and wide as one of wise cOun-
sci and successful leadership.
He is survived by his wife, his aged
parents and two brothers. He was born in
Wales in 1869. coming to this country
when very young"

Fund OF Fifteen Thousand Dollars
For Local Option.

The Headquarters Committee Of the
Anti-SaloOn League of Maryland has au-
thorized the organization Of a committee
of one hundred leading men Of all parties
throughout the State, and appeals not
only to temperance people, but all friends
of good government, for fund Of fifteen
thousand dollars ($l5.000), in addition to
the contributions received at the churches,
to be used in securing a working local OPP
ton organization in every precinct in the
State. The committee itself started the
fund with five subscriptions of five hun
dred dollars each.
The committee announces that the pre-
liminary and experimental work Of the last
four years has cost about $4,000. which
has been paid by about five per cent of
the members of the churches committed
to the support of the league movement,
and that because of the small size Of the
State as compared with the strength Of its
liquor traffic the contributions from this
source are no longer enough.
The committee catalogues in detail the
facts showing that the proposed local OPP
ton bill is the most pressing political and
moral issue in Maryland, including the
statement Of Governor Crothers that il was
mistake for the last legislature not to
pass it, and declares that no State league
has ever done more in the same time or
with the same money or has ever come 50
close to victory without winning next time.
