FUN IS POKED AT
 OUR AUGUST SENATORS
(From Fridays DaHy.)


 Poking fun at Arizona's solons seems to be a favorite diversion of the Los Angeles Times, which in its issue of December 2S under the cap ton Of Arizona Askings' prodded our noble senators. Henry and Mark, and the State itself, in this wise:
 Arizona plunges into the lime light like a gentleman mustang on a court ing expedition. Her poet orator, Sen ator Young Henry Ashurst, and good old Deacon Mark Smith, on the day when congress assembled, caused tAc desk of the secretary of the senate to be burde1ed with Arizona memorials.
 The first one presented was reso' 1ution signed by deserving democrats who were members of the Arizona senate in which they expressed con fdence in the wisdom, integrity and statesmanship" of Woodrow Wilson ito cope with international compli- cations and maintain the honor and dignity of the nation and pledging to him their support"
 The next memorial from Arizona called attention 10 the alleged fact that in the public land States of the West the losses of live stock ani poultry due 10 the attacks of coyotes. wolves. wildcats. cougars and bears amount to SlSO00.O0O annually. and asked congress to appropriate SSOOoO0 per a1num for the destruction O. "varmint" in order that the meat supply of the Nation may be in- creased"
 The next memorial from Arizona sets forth that whereas the Supreme court of the United States has dccid- ed against the validity Of inc title oi the homestead settlers on Baca Float Grant in New Mexico. therefore con gross is asked to relieve them by over-ruling the Supreme court.
 The next memorial complains of the honorable" secretary of agricui- ture for closing the Hermit trair' i1 the Grand Canyon of the Colorado to autos and condcmning those who seek scenic beauty to find it on foot, or from the back oi a bucking bron- cho, or pay s to a livery sidc-slo" of a bloatcd railroad corporation, therefore the memorialist asks con gress to compel the honorable se- retary of agriculture to rcscind his order.
 The chamber of commerce of Globe wants a road built between the two government bridges o1 the San Ca.- los Indian reservation.
 The legislature of Arizona wants a big slice of the San Carlos Indian res ervation thrown open to homestead settlers.
 The legislature of Arizona asks that all the San Carlos reservation be thrown open to miners.
 The legislature of Arizona demands that congress provide for building and maintaining a bull-:ligh, pig tight Sarbed-wire fence all along the Mexi- can border.

FIRST KISS WRECKED
 HIS MARRIAGE

NEW YORK, Jan. 1. - A single kiss, the first he ever gave woman, wrecked the whole marital career of Everett P. Ketchum, lawyer and soa of the late Colonel Alexander Ketch- um. for years leader of the New York bar, according to Mrs. Ada Ketchum, his 23-year-old bride of year, who testified Monday before Supreme Court Justice Blanchard. when the tria. of her suit for separation was begun.
 Ketchum, the wife declared just be- fore she collapsed on the witness stand and was carried to chair be. side ner white-haired mother, blamed 1er for the kiss, and told her that it she had not allowed him to kiss her ne would have been the same nice man" he was before marriage.
 He couldn't think straight" Mrs. Ketchum testified. He told me he had become sick and felt he was not in his right mind. Day after day, dur ing our honeymoon in Florida and our return, Mir. Ketchum told me the kiss he had given me while courti1g me was responsible for everything. It was that kiss, that and nothing more. that changed me and you are to blame for it, he told me.
 Kept Her at Distance.
 As soon as we got into our Pull man car on the way to Florida he told me he could not sit closer than five feet to me, and when I asked him why his conduct was SO strange nc replied: Its the kiss you gave me before mar riage.'
 "The1 he began 70 allude to this woman of his minds creation. He never called her by name, but she was constantly in his mind-so much so that when we went to live in his home he insisted we occupy the room where he thought ner spirit lived. l moved downstairs. could not stand his repeated references to her.
 Before Attorney Abraham Levy, counsel for the husband, began his cross-examination he said he would show Mrs. Ketchum never loved her husband and that he was trapped into marrying her by Mrs. Brown, mother of the witness.
 For several weeks Mrs. Brown ad' dressed endcaring letters to Mir. Ret. chum and made love to him herself" said Levy. and when she found out he had some money she manipulated thing so Ketcfum finally married her daughter"
 That's lie," Mrs. Ketchum shout ed. and began to cry.
 While you were courting. did Mir. Ketcnum protest about the manner of your kissing?" asked Mir. Levy.
 No. sir
 Were your kisses modest ones like those young girl would give%
 q don't understand kissing so well"
 Well, you know there is great difference between the peck of birl and a love kiss, don't you?'
 I consider the peck of bird a love kiss. My kisses were love kisses, the pecks of bird soul kisses"
 Didn't Mir. Ketclrum object and tell you you kissed in a most unusual manner-that you insisted on clinsing to his lips:"
 "He never objected and 1 did not cling to his lips. He told me my kisses were love kisses and ne had never kissed anybody before and d;d

STORM GREATEST IN HISTORY
 OF TOWN
(From Saturdays Daily.)

The depth of B inches of snow on level of the Court House plaza yes terday forenoon, established a recor1 without a parallel since this city was founded in lS64 Previous snowfails were reviewed yesterday by pioneer residents, and they agreed that the nearest to the present one was that of lS66 when 30 inches was the measure mcnt. In 1878, 2S inches was recalled, and in January of 1880, 2o inches was given. Three years ago next Febru- ary 2S inches was the measurements. Reports from the outside would indi- cate that all previous snow records also have been smashed.

 No Hello to Phoenix.
 The telephone line from Prescott to Phoenix went out on Thursday and the break is supposed to be oil the Prietta range near this city. As soon as conditions will permit, liue- men will be sent to connect up the wires.
 Local Troubles.
 Many business houses had trouble in serving customers promptly, the auto being set aside and the team used. In some sections of the city drifting snow reached a depth of five feet, and deliveries were made at d slow pace accordingly.
 The Palace Meat Market introduc- cd the novelty of sleigh service, an innovation which occasioned consid- erable comment.
 Ruff1er's hack went out of business and was superseded by sleigh with the familiar ring of the tingling bells on the horses.
 Several hundred large trees were overburdened with the heavy snow. and broken limbs indicated what weight they carried. An army of snow snovclers were busy all of yes terday, and last night, pay for their labor being readily rendered at 50 cents per hour. Not vehicle of any kind came into or left the city yester- day, and only the railroad is available for travellers. The snow blockade will last for at least week, and com to outside camps will be at a standstill for several days.

What Pioneer Says.

Thos. D. Sanders, who arrived in what is now Prescott in the Fall of 1863. before the town was founded, and has remained in this section con tinuously, stated yesterday after measuring the snow on the plaza. that such depth had never been known in his 5 years of a residence. Freight teams and packing outfits were ticJ ID for over three weeks by a storm m lS66. while mining, commercial and other pursuits were at a standstill. In Lonesome valley, he says. snow was % inches in depth, and Skull valley, on the main artery in frcighting. had fully IS inches of snow. The same situation prevailed on the Hardyvills route through Williamson valley to the Colorado river.

not in your experience, nor in the

million of starving women and chill
dren of Armenia and Syria in Octo
ber The people of this nation re-
sponded to the amount of 81, 300, 900,
which made the Christmas ship now
on its way to those suffering and dy-
ing multitudes possible. What did
you do? How much did you contri-
butte out of your abundance to relieve
this great distress? Nothing, you say.
Well, it is not too late, for our Minis
ter to Turkey, Mr.. Henry Morgan
auth, says it will require five mill
lions OF dollars to keep these people
from starving to death through this
winter, which is far nnder way. So
the American Relief Committee lack
three fourths of the adequate amount
to keep these people from starving
and freezing this winter. ~ r-;,sss ~
Now, the point is this, can't we
have liberal contribution from the
farmers of Christian county to this
Armenian and Syrian Relief fund?
You have been reading the papers,

present distress and horrible plight.
They are starving, they are dying,
