| grew to manhood in the mid
period of the republic. The key
note OF the popular aspiration was
iove for the Union. II was intense,
overmastering all pervasive. The
meIest handful at the North, scarce.
ly more than group at the South,
ventured a discord. But when the
final trial came the one American
who h Id u the keynote was Abra.
h m Lincoln. He could not be di-
verted from it. He stood. Doric,
the embodiment OF the union. We
owe its preservation to his wisdom.
TO his integrity, TO his hrmness and
his courage. As none other than
Washington could have led the
armies of the Revolution from Val
ley Forge to Yorktown, none other
than Lincoln could have maintain
ed the government from Su er
TO Appomattox. All of us now
are Unionists; and though upon
the South side of the school
room the educational process was
somewhat Warming, seemed extra
disciplinary, partaking overmuch,
as some of us thought. of birch and
ferrule, we ranged ourselves in Con.
federate ranks and made faces at }
the schoolmaster.
God rules the world, the winds F
and the waves. He raises mortals .
10 the skies and He casts them
down beneath the surface of the
earth. In Abraham Lincoln he
gave US a sym .ol OF American lib.

known of all men and seen from

OF hber solid and OF texture rare;
adapted 10 all uses and capable of
exquisite poish. In his career We
may learn what al American rar-
tisan ought to be as distinguished
from what he ough not to be. We
only need o read the documentary
history of his administrator to dis
cover that he was not merely in
intellect the foremost man of his
time, but that in character he
'anks with the few greet men of all
lime. From an address de-

MURDER DONE AS
 FORTUNE IS SMILING
TWO PRosPEcToRs MAKE RICH STRIKE AND ONE KILLS
 OTHER OVER soo.

Secretary George U. Young states that he has just learned of the kill ing near Prescott of S. H. Anderson. one of the oid-time mining men of that district, Anderson's partner, John Bryant being accused of the crime. According to Young. the two old-tim- CTS had a mining property in the Thumb Butte district, adjoining a claim owned by Young. Only week or so ago Young visited his proper ty. and found the two partners in very high spirits owing to the fact that after twelve years of unreward ed labor they had at last made a strike and were on the high road to riches
 1t seems that because Anderson would not pay him the sum of s9t whfch he claimed was due him. Bry ant killed him, Anderson's death oc curing just at the time when Il seemed the two old partners would be able to retire from the field of ac tive endeavor and settle down to ths enjoyment of their hard-esrnet riches

(Wickenburg Miuer.)

The postofice situation in Wicken- burg is growing serious these days. and the situation is not in the least improved by the attitude of the col cred proprietress of the hotel in which the office is domiciled. The proximity to the saloon in the hotel first brought the general dissatisfaction 10 a head several women having mistaken the saloon door for the postofice door and got inside before they realized that they were in the saloon, and the barkeeper appeared to be well versed in saying. Next door. lady" Rev. w
 A. Posey. signed and assisted in cir culating a petition, on behalf of the people. for the removal of the post office to more desirable quarters, as did large number of the representa- tive citizens of Wickenburg. Upon learning O, this. the aforesaid colored
 woman accosted the minister in the postoffice. where he went for the pur- pose of getting his mail. and berated him in a most 'disgraceful manner for exercising the right to express his opinion, a right which is unquestion- ably accorded to every American citi- zen. The reports are now current that she is laying" for everyone who
 signed the petition with the intention of giving each one a tongue flashing the same as she dea't out 10 Rev. Posey and this is given color by the fact she accorded even worse treat ment to the editor of the Miner, who, all unconscious of the designs O. the

woman. went into the hotel lobby to look at the register when she was most scurrilously attacked by the dusky dame. and accused of being the prime mover in the circulation of the petition. which, in itself would be of a meritorious act than otherwise, but which was not the case. Upon in forming her that she was ln error In making the assertion she became more violent than ever and applied such epithets as should have put her in the lock up The air rang for awhile: with such language as You're liar, you're a liar"
 The facts of the case are that the petition was in eircu' ation on the quiet several days before the editor was aware of it, and when iJ was fin ally presented for his signature it was refused as the paper was taking no part in the postoffice scrap. leaving it to be settled by the ones immediately concerned. and the peo- pie. And thus the mater stood at that time The occurrence convinced the editor that the people who were work ng for the removal of the postotfice were entirely justified in their posi-. and forthwith signed the petition Many who signed it are afraid of meeting the colored woman when they call for the mail. fearing that they will be subjected to the same insults. This is a pretty .tate of af- fairs to exist in a civilized community and one that should be remedied at once.

THIS KNOCKS OUT
THE NEAR BEER

Boise, Idaho, June 20.-District
Judge Steele's Moscow decision is
looked upon today as the death knell
of near beer in Idaho.
The decision handed down by
Judge Steel, declared that "the sale
of all malt liquors, without license
and regardless of whether such liquor
is shown to be intoxicating, is a VIC.
lation Of the statues"
In the dry" districts of the state
it is not an easy thing to secure a u
cense for near beer, while the wet
districts have no need for the So
called substitute.
Judge Steele further ruled that the
legislature has the right to regy,ate
the sale of any malt liquor or pro-
hibit it, If such action is necessary
to regulate the sale of intoxicants.
The decision was made in a test
case against G. w. Thompson, of
Troy, who is held guilty of selling
near-beeer without a license. The
case will be appealed to the supreme
court.
