Chautauqua Boosters.

Sunday about the noon hour
the Flagstaff train of automo-
biles numbering fifty or more
are expected to arrive in Wins
low, and every car will be filled
with boosters for the Flagstaff
chautauqua. The committe hav-
ing in charge the reception of the
guests have decided to receive
them at the high school building
as the most convenient place, as
there will be ample space to park
the cars, and be a central point
for the citizens to assemble to
greet the visitors. Winslow peo-
pie are requested to be at the
high school as soon after one
o'clock as possible to extend the
glad hand and make the stay of
the visitors pleasant during the
few hours they remain within
our gates.

Saving the Country.

Under the chaperonage of ].
F. Mahoney, the editor took a
vacation this week for a few
days for the purpose of attend
ing the republican state conven-
ton that met in Prescott yester-
day, and assist in a modest. way
to help save the country. 1t
is probable, and altogether posi-
BILE, that the presence of the edi-
tor was not essential, but it
was such an elegant excuse to
get away from work that it could
not be overlooked. AS a result
the paper is day late in going
to press. but our subscribers will
be charitable enough to excuse
the delay that granted us a
respite from the daily grind.

Local Attorney Weds.

This Office is in receipt of a
wedding announcement that
bears the tidings of the marriage
of Mr.. E. P. Conwell to Miss
Margaret Callista, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. T. S Shay, of Ma
10y, Iowa, the wedding being
held at the home of the bride
Tuesday, June 9th. Mr.. Con-
we'll is well-known, not only to
the people of Winslow, but
throughout the county, as one of
our bright young lawyers, and
the announcement of his mar
riage comes as a surprise as he
evidently was taking no one in
his confidence as to the purpose
of his trip east when he left the
city two weeks ago. The bride
is stranger to our people, but
she will find a cordial western
welcome to the city awaiting her.
Mr.. and Mrs. ConWell will arrive
in the city tomorrow evening
to take up their permanent re-
sidence. The Mail congratulates
Mr.. Conwell, and extends to him
and his bride its best wishes for
a happy and prosperous life.

Auto Drivers Escape.

During the Fourth of July auto
races at Flagstaff one of the
drivers had a narrow escape from
death in his successful effort to
save the life of a spectatator.
We did not learn the name of the
driver, but he was leading the
cars in the race, and as he was
approaching the grandstand an
old man, unmindful of his dan
ger, attempted to cross the
course in front of the fast ap-
preaching racer. The driver
realized the situation, and in his
attempt to turn his car to miss the
man, lost control of the machine
when it skidded and rolled over
three or four times. Fortunate
ly the driver was thrown clear
of the machine, and his only in
jury was a few cuts and bruises.
The accident lost him the race,
but the spectators who witnessed
the heroic sacrifice of the driver,
made up cash purse for him.

Passing of Hetty Green.

Mrs. Hetty Green, known as
the worlds richest woman, died
at her simple apartments in New
York City last Monday, from a
stroke of paralysis. She was
called excentric, because with
all her millions, she lived a
simple frugual life and dressed
in keeping Herewith. She was
a pure, Christian woman, with
ideals of life higher than a mere
disgusting show of wealth and
the sensual pursuit of the pleas
ure now so common with the idle
rich. 1t would be better for the
world if more of our wealthy
people took the seme view of
life, and the moral atmosphere
might be clarified and a new
standard exempted.

Murder and Suicide.

Last Wednesday evening J. H.
Johnson, formerly proprietor of
a restaurant in Holbrook, but
more recently engaged in a small
way in the cattle business near
Taylor, shot and killed his wife
in her home, and then took
double precaution to make way
with himself by drinking carbol-
ic acid and shooting himself
through the head with a revolver.
1t is generally supposed the man
was temporarily deranged, but
the history Of the family affairs
is that Johnson has always been
jealous of his wife, and many
quarrels have resulted.

The Deserted Village.

WlnsloW presented the appear
ance of the deserted village on
the Fourth. About the only
population left was some of the
train boys who had to make their
runs, or just came in off their
runs, and a few business men
who had to keep open their
places of business. The big
delegation went to Flagstaff on
the special Elks train, which left
shortly after seven O'Clock,
crowded to the last seat with a
happy, frolicing bunch. The
Elk members were gaudy with
caps and parasols in the lodge
colors of purple and white, ac-
companied by the Winslow bano
of eighteen pieces. Flagstaff
had no difficulty in realizing that
the Winslow delegation had ar
rived in the city, and it formed
a principle part of the parade.
Those not at Flagstaff went to
Gallup for the day, and not a
few of our citizens went to Pres
cott to participate in the frontier
celebration held there all this
week. 1t is good thing to have
a general exodus of people from
their home town occasionally, as
they see what other towns are
doing, and they usually come
home better satisfied with their
own community.

A False Standard.

We must confess surprise that
a newspaper of the supposed
high standard of the Phoenix
Gazette will come out openly in
an editorial advocating and urg-
ing republicans and progressives
to register as democrats, solely
for the purpose of participating
in the primaries to defeat Gov.
Geo. w. P. Hunt, who is a can
didate for denomination. Let US
hope no good republican or pro-
gressive will perjure himself in
any such manner at the behest
of the Gazette or any other in
1uence. Gov. Hunt is not de-
stroying force; his personal in
terests are all in Arizona, and
the development of the state is
to his financial benefit even more
than a large per cent of the peo-
pie who are antagonizing him.
Some of his ideas of state ad-
ministration are wrong, but what
assurance have the people that
the nomination of Mr.. Olney as
the democratic candidate will be
any improvement over Gov.
Hunt. The fight against the
governor is simply a family row
in the democratic camp, and all
the hue and cry about saving the
state is merest buncombe. If
the standard of political honesty
Of the Olney supporters is on a
parity with the ideas expressed
by the Gazette in its advocacy of
perjury to voters, we have no
hesitancy in saying we prefer
Mr.. Hunt with all his faults.

Court Says Unconstitutional.

Last Saturday the supreme
court handed down it's opinion
declaring the old age and moth
er's pension law unconstitutional.
The opinion of the court was
unanimous. The case was one
on appeal from Maricopa county
restraining the board of control
from paying out money under
the provisions of the act. The
court holds in effect that the law
is faulty because the act provides
for the sale of aims houses but
no one is given authority to
make the sale; that it does not
become effective until such sale
is made; that the title is defec-
tive because no reference is
made therein to the sale of aims
houses, and further, that the law
undertakes to pension, not only
widows, but wives whose bus
bands are in prision or asylums,
who have children to support re-
gardless of whether they have a
competency or not. Judge Ross
wrote the opinion of the court,
and deals with the subject ex-
haustively showing up clearly it's
many inconsistencies.

Republican Convention.

Nearly two hundred delegates
representing every county in the
state gathered at Prescott yes
terday for the adjourned meet
ing of the state convention. 1t
was an old time love feast, and
the friction that in years past
has disrupted the party seemed
entirely lacking. With the gath
ering of the clans it was soon
apparent that. the idea of endors-
ing a ticket for the primary was
not a popular move, even with
the candidates who where sure
of being endorsed, as all seemed
imbued with the idea that it
might deprive some prospective
candidate of an equal chance in
the primary and be taking an
unfair advantage. 1t did not re-
quire a political prophet to pick
out Tom Campbell, Of Prescott,
as the winner in the race for
governor in fact there is no
likelihood of any candidate ap-
pearing in the field against him.
The only real contest in sight
will be over the nomination for a
senator, and at this time there
are three avowed candidates
Kibbey of Phoenix, Morrison of
Prescott, and Lowell of Flagstaff.
The most important result of
the convention was the decision
to appoint a campaign committee
to have charge of the party
organization from now until the
new state committee is organic
ed. Judge Klbbey, present
chairman of the state committee,
who is candidate for senator,
handed in his resignation, and
the probable successor will be
Tom Maddox of Coconino county,.
1t was a noticeable fact there
were more democratic candidates
lowering about the hotel lobbies
than there were republicans, and
3 stranger might have gathered
the impression it was a demo
cratic assembly. The general
harmony prevailing did not leave
a pleasant flavor to their palates,
as it foreboded no good for their
political aspirations.

Ranch House Burned.

The large ranch home of James
Scott, near Pinedale, together
with q store room adjoining, was
totally destroyed by fire early
last Saturday morning. The loss
is about 81, 900 and there was no
insurance.
The fire started from an explo-
sion of gasoline which was being
used by q woman servant in
cleaning a dress. The explosion
threw the woman through a
window into the yard; her cloth
ing was not ignited and her in
juries were slight.
At the time of the fire Mr..
Scott and his daughter, Mrs. Ba-
zell, were in Holbrook. Another
daughter, Mrs. Chadwick, the
woman servant and her husband,
were at the ranch. Mrs. Chad
wick succeeded in saving a few
articles Of wearing apparel and
some valuable papers belonging
to her father. Outside of these
things the house, which contained
8 rooms and was handsomely fur
nished, and the storeroom filled
with provisions, were totally des-
! troyed. -Holbrook News.
