BEGGAR REFORM.

We arc glad to note that the new ordinance
requiring individuals and organizations to get
permits from the city authorities in order to
solicit aims is TO be strengthened by the pro-
vision that saloons and pool rooms are not TO
be-, entered fer tais purpose
The presence In a bar of any one soliciting
money for alleged religious purpose Is in
itself offensive When the solicitor is wo-
man. the fact is one that is repugnant to every
feeling of the community. A woman generally
young, walking In the name of religion among
the habtues of a saloos fnhaling its atmos-
phere and assailed with its paragon. is sight
to turn the stomach or right thinking men.
II is also to be noted in this connection that
the workers for the organizations which affect
the saloons and poolrooms as their hunting
grounds are almost men AS stated.
they are generally young women, to whom the
experience. In whatever protestation obtained,
cannot but be yiciously Illuminating and
eoarsening. Their presence also suggests the
ugly truth that in attempting TO get aims from
these places deliberate appeal is made to the
sex instinct. What man cannot do. woman
may. at the cost of actual or implied insult
Such lowering of self-respect for money can
not fail TO further suggest that the money is
the prime and the cause" the secondary object
Of the invasion.
While they are about it. the city authorities
might in this matter well afford to take in
charge THE long-crying evil OF the public beg
gars licensed or permitted to ply their trades
yrt
take care OF these known unfortunates in pro-
portion they need help. II they do not
need help, the city is doing itself the greatest
wrong in permitting them to exploit it's public.

ISLANDER or THE MOUNTAINS.

l.awiessness is the came in one part of the
country and another. The fiction OF the
ccuth mouDtaineer has grown largely on &C
count of the fact of his more less isolated
lille. and his consequent failure to live up TO
the style tailored or otherwise of more thickIy
settled communities. The tragedy OF Iiilsville
has. therefore. naturally given an added impulse
10 all the stories which romance and the ina
gination which plays about the unreal and the
unknown have sadded these people
One Miss Lydia Holman, described as
.plueky little missionary has come mistakenly
to the defense OF mountain people by stating
Ill New York that the Aliens are the result OF
the neglect of the State of Virginia to educate
and rare for them. She AYERS that the trouble
grows Out OF their ignorant independence which
finds opposition TO the internal revenue tax
its justification. She makes "moonshne

more missionary work

the courtesy of publishing this letter.
In the first place. think that your edi-

ments which i presented at the time l had
the honor Of appearing before the Credit Mems
Association OF your city.

The case mentioned came up before the
Water Committee of the Council on Monday
evening when nrm which had put in bids for

THE PARCELS POST AGAIN.

Elsewhere we publish a communication
from MIR. Norman II. johnson. of the Mer-
chants Journal and Commerce, Of Lynchburg,
in which he gives an outline OF his objection
to the parcels post as outlined in recent
Association of Richmond.
The association by resolution endorsed Mr..
Johnson's argument, an action which we criti-
oIzed putting 1t in the position of lend
Ing itself to an opposition which has its foun-
dalton in exorbitant express charges. Mr..
johnson considers this the gravamen OF our
offense, resenting the idea that opposition to
rectly or indirectly are interested in the ex-
cessive profits now collected by the express
companies for a service that elsewhere In the
world is done at one-quarter the cost charged
against the American consumer"
Where Mr.. Johnson and The Virginan take
issue is not upon the idea that local merchants
are interested in excessive express profits. bu.
thet their opposition tends to support and .s
founded upon exactly that condition. We be-
ieye that local business conditions should be
founded upon and stand on their own bottom.
We believe that the South is It's owr
financial legs and able to compete for its
markets with the world on firm and fair
competitive basis. In short, the idea Of bust
ness success by special favors of one sort CT
With the postofhce department made SELF
supporting, the only logical reason in
opinion that can be advanced against the par
cells post is exactly that which Mr.. johnson
cites, that 1t may tend to keep certain local
interests from marketing their products at IS
high a price as formerly. Whether this is true
In fact will depend entirely experience; ii
it is true 1t would be bad showing indeed
for Southern business men to admit that their
pi osperity is dependent upon the mainte-
nance in their favor of a restricted market
Southern business to do what Is expected
o. it. must be prepared to compete with the
country and with the world We believe 1t
is doing it, rather than that its expansion is
limited to a contracted field in which 1t can
hold its own head only because Of artificial
express charges II this is true 1t stands to
reason that Southern merchants are indirectly
Interested in exorbtant express charges. We
do not believe that this is the fact. except in
the fear of a temporary setback. there arises
this sentiment of lack of confidence in fund
amenta business purpose. We think that
the progressive sentiment OF this country, es-
pecially in the light of the rapidly rising cost
OF living. will not look favorably upon an OPP
position to a well-nigh universal governmental
departure based upon the idea Of higher prices

of so usfui a class as merchants and tobbers

Shot Through the
 Brain and Lives.

A twelve-year-o Indian boy was accidently shot in the head Monday afternoon by a young companion, the weapon being .22 caliber pump gun. The little fellows had been out shoot ing at marks and had, as they suppos- ed, exhausted their supply of car tridges. They mounted their horses and were galloping along the railroad track near the Y, the one carrying the gun still pumping it to see if it was really empty or that there was some obstruction in the magazine. AS he pumped he kept pulling the trigger. Soon there was report from the gun and the Indian boy ahead fell from his horse, shot through the head. The shooter thinking the boy dead ran his horse to town and told the story to the boys mother. The officers were in formed of the tragedy and went to the scene of the shooting. They found the body lying on the ground uncon- scious with bullet hole in his head above the right ear. Drs. Cowie and Tilton were called and dressed the wound, doing all that was possible for the injured boy. Later the boy show ed signs of returning consciousness and appeared to be suffering great pain. Mr. Shell of the Indian school was informed of the boys condition and Tuesday he took hlm to the Indian school at Valentine. From reports re- ceived it is probable that the injured boy will recover, although at the present time the right side of the body appears to be in paralyzed condition. Should he get we'll it will be one of the most interesting cases in medical history, as it is evident that the bull let penetrated both hemispheres of the brain.

Last night one of the greatest cleo. trical storms in years struck this sec. tion, the display of lightning being continuous from horizon to horizon during the night. To the east the lurid display was grand in the extreme. A torrent of rain fell all over the county, in some places approaching the stage of a cloudburst.
 Wednesday last a cloudburst broke on the Coyote hill and resulted in practically obliterating the wagon road over the mountain. A force of men under Superintendent of Roads Russell are at work repairing the damage. This road had just been put in first class shape when the storm took it out,

Last Sunday big rattler struck an aged Indian in the heel, near his camp in the Wallapai mountains. He was brought to town and is now under the treatment of a physician. The Indians had opened the wound and allowed it to bleed freely, which appears to have kept down the swelling. A big dog owned by the Indian was also struck by the snake and died within short time. The snake was one of the most vicious of its kind and was on the fight as soon as it came in sight of the Indian camp. The rattle snake of the WallaIai mountain is almost black and is always ready to battle with every living thing with which it comes in contact.

Last Thursday great storm of wind and rain swept over Needles doing a great deal of damage in the way of un- roofing small buildings and blowing down sheds. Two Mohave Indians were killed while trying to get out of the way of the big pile driver, which had been caught by the storm and driven along the Ire stle on the river front. The pile driver was forced by the velocity of the wind into collision with coal car and the Indians who were racing along the track to escape being run over by the pile driver car were caught in the wreckage. Two other Indians were injured. Trees were blown down and much other damage resulted from the storm.

 A cutting scrape took place at Nell son yesterday between two Mexicans. The recipient of the favOrs of the knife wielder came to Kingman and had his wounds dressed. The cuts were on the head and one arm, but were not considered dangerous. We did not learn if the assallant had been apprebended. The lime camp at Nel- son has been the scene of many con- ficts among the Mexican employees of the lime company, as well as those employed by the railroad company.
