SLEIGHING CONE
After Nearly Two Months Sleds
Cease to Run as Easily
as Wagons.
MUCH ICE STILL IN ROADS
River Remains at 9-FoOt Stage and
Little Fear of Breakup Is
Entertained.

At last, after having been with us
for nearly two months and having re-
sisted successfully numerous assaults
by warm waves the sleighing and
.coasting may be said to have ceased
to be. The steady thaw of the last
two days has done the business. and
while the travelled surface of the
roads is still generally very icy the
going for sleds is not as good as that
for wheeled conveyances. Bare
patches of ground show up III many
places.
With the departure of the snow
there has naturally been some incon-
venience from the water though the
damage is not as great as had been
feared. In a few cases water has run
into cellars, the usual channels of es-
cape being blocked by ice.
River at Normal stage.
The Mississippi river. which has
been regarded with some concern. IS
behaving quite molly. For several
days the stage has been practically

 Representatives of the labor party called at the office of the board ot supervisors yesterday to ascertain what steps should be taken to rave the ticket of that party put on the ballot. This ticket was not named by con ventiOn but by the committee of the party selected by the committee from a list of twenty-one prepared at a meeting of the members of the party.
 The ticket would therefore have to be backed by petition signed by one per cent of the voters of the county. There was such a petition with forty eight signatures, but the representa- tives learning that the ticket could be filed as late as tomorrow, decided to wait until then. The nominees are F. Philo Cooke, J. C. Provost, R. l.. Com fort, R. A. Dorame. Joseph Thomas, r. J. Parry, J. F. Giles, J. w. FOrney and J. B. Jones.

SOME WEIRD RUM0RS
 STARTED BY DEMOCRATS
Supposed to Have Some Bearing on the
 Campaign.

If the guesses Of the democrats as to the result of the election Tn this county are wild as many of the rumors they set on foot or circulate. the re publican ticket will be solidly elected by an overwhelming majority. One .oi the rumors is that the object of the visit of several of the republican can didates who are now on the coast was to see if arrangements cannot be made with him by which the Gazette cannot be recovered from the democratic party.
 A hardly more ridiculous phase oi the rumor was that the republicans de sired to obtain control of the paper improve it, increase it's telegraph ser vice and make it the afternoon edition of The Arizona Republican.
 The fact is that none of the repub- lican candidates for delegates to the constitutional convention are con cerned in the slightest degree in the political complexion of the Gazette.

 The only thing that can be said for these soda fountains is that they bring one back to childhood days, the days when one mixed and drank vinegar. water. sugar and cooking soda.

DEMOCRATS WHO VOTED
FOR L0RIMER CONDEMNED

Springfield, H.. July 20.--Democrats
from all parts of the state gathered
at Lincoln today and in vigorous terms
denounced the action OF those Demo-
cratic members of the state Legislature
who deserted their party's choice for
United States senator and cast their
votes for William I,orimer
In resolutions, the convention de-
clared;
I'VE as representatives OF the De-
nation and to the world that we do
not accept responsibility as a party for
Lorlmer's election to the senate. and
unhesitatingly condemn the Democratic
members of the general assembly for
their action and denounce the same as
being their individual action and re-
budiate each and every Democratic
vote for Lorimer."
Senator Albert Isley OF Newton said
while the ballot on the resolution was
being taken:
mo Democrat could have voted for
Lorimer without violating his instruc-
lions, betraying his party and stultify-
ing his own conscience. | believe In
