MOST OF AMENDMENTS ARE VOTED DUNN BY
 THE ELECTORS
Returns From Practically All
 Counties III State Show that Only Three Measures Were
 Carried in Election.

Only three of the twelve measures passed upon by the people of Arizona at the last election have been adopted according to practically complete of ficial returns from all fourteen coun- ties. The three measures adopted are bone dry" prohibition, which be- comes effective as soon as the gov ernOr's proclamation is issued; the measure aDolishing the death penalty; and the new amendments to the game law. The latter two measures were adopted by approximately 800 votes each, while prohibition carried two years ago by a bare 5000 votes, was made far more strict by a sweeping majority of over 11,000.
 The measure providing for local Op- ton was defeated by 16,500 votes, the majority against it being one and one half times the majority in favor of prohibition. The three measures, abolishing the state senate, creating a department of labor and establishing the office of state architect were de- feated by majorities of 5000, 7,50O and 16,00O. The bill providing for amend ments to the divorce code, and re- ducing the term Of residence to six months was beaten by 5,COO votes. The proposed workmen's compensation act appears to have been defeated by about the same majority, while the measure providing for legislative re- districtins has been defeated by 2,033 votes. It seems probable that the amendment providing that initiated and referred measures must receive majority of all the votes cast to be- come a law has been defeated by small majority, although this will not be known finally until all the returns have been received. Even the meas ure raising the exemptions of widows from taxation from S1,000 to S2.000 was defeated by Arizona's electorate, although no fight whatever was made on the bill. Under the old system of valuation, a widow was allowed an exemption Of $1,000 on all property assessed for taxation, and property was assessed at about fifty cents on

WINDOW is BURGLAR PROOF
Curtain of Steel, Which Drops When
Glass Is Broken, Is One of
Latest Inventions.

The thief, brick in hand, awaits his
opportunity. When the policeman on
beat passes out Of sight he sinks
down the quiet avenue and takes up
a position in front of a jewelry store
with an expensive and elaborate win
dow display. Reposing in the right
hand corner of the window is a tray of
diamonds. This the thief decides to
steal
Choosing a section of the window
where the glass will make the least
noise in falling, the thief draws back
his right arm and the brick crashes
through the window. With lightning
agility he thrusts his hand through the
broken pane, and then, startled and
utterly dismayed, as quickly with
draws it. Had he not done so q bur-
glar curtain of steel, released from
the top Of the window at the instant
of contact Of brick with glass, would
have severed his arms at the wrist,
Popular Science Magazine states.
In other words, he was thwarted in
his attempt to steal by a burglar cur
tain designed to drop and cover the
window the instant the glass is bro
ken. In making his superficial exami-
nation he had failed to detect the
minute strands Of wire stretched
across the window, several of which
were severed when the glass was
broken, setting into action a mecha-
nism which released the curtain.
The wires, stretched tight and an
chored at their lower end to a rigid
frame and at their upper end to
latch, are arranged close enough so
that an object thrown through the
pane will sever one or more of them.
When this occurs the latch Is drawn
downward, permitting the retaining
rods to move in under forced pressure
of their tension springs, which re-
leases ratchet engaging with a shaft
round which the curtain is wound. The
curtain falls due to gravity. A simple
safety appliance prevents the curtain
from accidentally falling when the
window is being cleaned. 1t is wound
up on the shaft in "set" position by
means Of sprocket wheel.

Swat the chiouer.

Touch each chigger bite with brush
that has been dipped in iodine or apply
strong solutions of ammonia or COM
mon baking soda after itching has
begun. The better plan, of course,
is to prevent the chigger from getting
a foothold at all. This may be done
in number of ways. A bath in hot
water with strong soap is very good
if taken Immediately after passing
through the shrubbery and weeds from
which the chiggers are picked up, but
the best real preventive is flowers of
sulphur rubbed all over the body, par
ticularly from the knees down. The
sulphur may be made to stick better
if mixed with little cold cream and
rubbed in.-L. Haseman.

CHAPTER ~.
The Special Agent.

Colonel Posey remained indefinitely
in Louisiana, and David was still in
charge Of the shop. Late the next aft
ernOon he closed and bolted the small
emporium and started down the street
toward the tavern for an early supper.
As he passed musingly along beneath
the new-green elms and neared the
courthouse, the words he had over
heard the night before from the lips
of Cranmer's comrade came sharply
back. 'The courthouse to-
morrow night. :"
The fascination of the little court
house plucked David as with an out
stretched hand. In a moment he found
himself before it. Through the half
open doors David caught a glimpse of
the shadowy and empty place of JUS
tice; and with a sudden determination

that night"
He stopped. His eyes were burning
like Goals.
Newcastle sent his men from their
quarters in Castlegate to help the con.
stables. They took four of them in
Violation street. And then they came
to our cottage :"
He stopped again, deathly pale.
"They took my father with them
he kissed me :" David's voice
was low, "There was one who said
that my father had melted the riot"
He was trembling so that his two
hearers watched him in pity, but he
drew himself together.
"Of the twelve judges of England
we did not know which one would try
the rioters. We addressed pleas to
all. l do not suppose any of our let
terS got beyond a clerk. We were
very funny. In the assizes of Michael
mas term the cases were thought so
unimportant that none of the judges
was delegated to them-John Silver
ter, Esq, recorder, and Mr.. Serjeant
Bosanquet sitting.
-Four of the five prisoners were
hanged. The case against them was
too open-they had been taken in the
very act of violating his majesty's
decree, crown law since the twenty
second year of his reign. My father
thanked God for his release"
A cry of joy came from Lydia's lips.
"Thank God, indeed" echoed Gran
mer.
David smiled at them as man
smiles at his surgeon.
''In December we were a crowd of
skeletons in rags. We stood in the
wet snow and watched a man in q
black hood fix the nooSes about the
necks of four men. Then the men
fell the length of the rope and were
still. They had little life to lose. The
man who stood next me was nv
brother.
'The fourth felon they hung was my
father"
Your father!"
A man sobbing with dry eyes is
dreadful to look upon.
"But the fifth man-who was set
free?"
David's face was terrible.
'They set him free who betrayed
my father he fled from us.
He was of our 3rotherhood-traito
the worse-and had sworn-God help
him T.
Father and daughter were silent.
David could say no more, but leaned
against the counter, his shoulders
trembling. Lydia felt that to stay
longer would be intruding on his grief.
She plucked at her fathers arm and
they left the store.
"There's lad will make good can
non's-meat in the Yankees service"
said Mr.. Cranmer, when they were out
of hearing.
"What dreadful storyy" exclaimed
the girl. "And how wise he seemed!"
Learned from his father, I'll be
bound" wagered the farmer. "Those
Nottingham %eavers are a set to make
England tremble."
They walked back to the tavern,
talking in low tones. Even so, Lydia
appeared to fear that someone might
hear what they were saying. Now and
then at some light rustic she glanced

STOCK MARKET \


New York, June 8-Opening-A broad demand for rails, particularly coalers, featured today's early deal ings. Reading opened with a block of $500 shares at 106 1-4 to 106, soon advancing to 106 1-2, and extreme overnight gain of 3-8. Chesapeake & Ohio was taken in thousand share lots up to 66 1-4. an advance of 5-S, and Lehigh Valley changed hands in round amounts at fractional gains. Shipping shares were next in favor, United Fruit advancing 2 14 to the new record of 169. Later New York Central, Northern Pacific, St. Paul and U. S. Steel were added to the list of strong issues. Specia1ties were relatively backward.
 Noon-The cratic trend manifest ed before the end of the first hour was attributed by observers to the complex domestic political conditions, with leading stocks receding 1 to al- most points and other issues sug- gesting> profit-taking. Meanwhile, specialties of mixed descriptions, in cluding motors, 1eXicans, tObaccos, minor steel and similar industrials had risen 1 to 5 points. United Fruit was especially feverish. surrendering most of it's early gain but speedily mount ing to a new record. At midday, however. general irregu1arity prevail cd. Bonds were firm.

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG LAYING CONTEST

Much to the qualification of both the management and the owners the hens in the laying contest at Storrs have made another spurt- In the thirty-hrst week they laid a total of 4,615 eggs as compared with I, ,402 for the preceding week and 4,164 for the corresponding week last year. The Agricultural Colleges pen of "Ore- gons'' from Corvallis, Ore, were first for the week with a production of 62 eggs. This is the best weekly per formance for any pen during the pres ent competition. Two pens of White Leghorns owned by P. G. .Platt, Wal lingford, Pa., and W. B. Atkinson, Wallingford, Conn.,, tied for second place with 61 eggs each. Harry Will Hams pen of White Leghorns from Bridgeport, Conn.,, and Abel Latham's White Wyandottes from Brierf1eld, Eng. tied for third with 59 eggs each. Thus for the first time the five best l pens have averaged more than 60 eggs each.
 | On going over the records of the White Leghorns as showroom speci- mems it is found that Charles Hegil, Rocky River, Ohio has supplied the best show pen with score of 926 on the basis of 1000 for perfect. Two Connecticut pens owned by George Phillips of Seymour and 10th Bros, of Wallingford, tied for second place with 925 each or lonly one point behind the best pen. N. W. Hendryx's birds hfrom New Haven, tied with Summer Grove Farm, GaIlipo1fs Ohio with a pen score of. SPA each. Strangely enough neither the first nor the second best individuals were in any of the five best pens. Hen No. 855 in the Club pen from Springfield, Ill.,, was the high individual with a score of 94 1-2 points, and Frank R. Hancock's hen Ia nIx I second best, individual with a score of 94 1-4 points. The average pen score for all the Leghorns was 918. Of 1.-the three hundred and fifty hens of this breed entered in the contest a to- tai of eight were disqualified; seven for having side sprigs and the other for having stubs on her shanks.
