eral assembly adopted resolutions urg-
ing campaign of education on the
subject of marriage and divorce. and
instructed all Presbyterian ministers
10 preach upon the sanctity of mar
riase and the evils OF divorce at least

Williamsport. who said he considered
the Pennsylvania law a good one and
asked wherein the New Jersey law, for
instance, was superior to it,

Jack, as per "fggers" of friends, concluded that one summer back east was more than equal to two winters on the moun- tain.

HAROLD HATCH WILCOX DEAD.

In the old homestead at 106 Flora avenue, where he was born, Harold Hatch Wilcox breathed his last at $40 last evening, after an illness from pneumonia of several weeks duration. His illness was generally known, but the belief prevailed that convalescences would follow, and the complications that set in and resulted in death were totally unexpected.
 News of his death brings universal sorrow, for few Peorians were more widely known, and none more univer- sally esteemed. Most of his life has been spent in this city, and his friendships were many and sincere.
 He was the son of the late E. E. Wilcox of honored memory, and was born July 9, 1877. His boyhood and young manhood were passed in Pe- oria, and his education was gained in the public schools. He graduated from the high school with honor and for time was employed in the pub lie library.
 Later he removed to San Francisco and was in that city the year of the earthquake. He also lived for a time in Arizona, returning here seven or eight years ago and entering the employ of R. M. Berger & Co.,, whole sale shoe dealers.
 He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Mary L. Wilcox, two brothers, Dr. E. A. Wilcox, of Waterbury, Conn. who has been at his bedside for a fortnight; George M. Wilcox of San Francisco, and one sister, Mrs. F. w Sisson, of Flagstaff, Ariz. Mrs. Sis son is in this city.
 The funeral will take place from the residence at o'clock Wednesday afternoon, the Rev. Arthur R. Me Laughlin of the First Congregational church officiating.-Peoria (Ill.) Jour nal.
 The above clipping was sent the Sun by Mrs. F. W. Sisson, too late for publication last week. In her letter Mrs. Sisson says: "Mother has pneumonia, but she was getting along safely and we hope she will be able to bear this great sorrow"
 The great number of friends in Flagstaff who have known and loved Mrs. Sisson so well, will sympathize with her in her loss of brother.

A Steam Starter Stumped.

Paul Burks, who has been back east averting the strike, went through Flagstaff Monday on-one of the trains that was not te run Monday morning. Paul is one of the, ,attor- neys for the Santa Fe, and he ex- plained what he had said to President Wilson and started the, same thing over to Conductor Tom Ramage, un- til the engineer on No. had to waste a hundred pounds of steam on his whistle getting them apart long enough to start the train again. In the argument, the engineer under stood the waivings of Toms arms to mean that the train was to cut out across the country. The motions had no equivalent in the guide book that the steam student understood.

we are willing to concede that honor to Prescott or to Williams. In his enumerations of the many things he has done he tells of appropriations for towns in southern Arizona, but the appropriation for post office in Flagstaff seems to have fallen by the wayside. In his letter of five pages in which he advises his constituents of his 'doings, Henry signally fails to mention the time he attempted to be the United States senate com plete, when he reported on a confer ence committee advising the senate that he had merely changed their in- structions because the secretary of the interior would not agree with them concerning a certain appropri- ation. Probably the senator believed the Congressional Record of May 9th, page S430, ct seq, had given enough of that particular episode, if not more than was necessary.

 "For three years the Mexican re- public has been torn with civil strife.
 "The lives of Americans have been sacrificed.
 "Vast properties developed by Amer ican capital and enterprise have been destroyed.
 Bandits have been permitted to roam at will through territory con tiguous to the United States.
 "The lives of citizens of the United States who ventured to remain in Mexican territory or to return there to protect their interests have been taken.

Judge Stilwell Visits Flagstaff.

William A. Stilwell, of Phoenix, a candidate for the nomination on the republican ticket for the office of United States senator, was in Flag staff Wednesday. Judge Stilwell is an old time resident of the territory and state, having been a district judge in years gone by, and while he has good many friends in the north, he is better known in the southern part of the state, where he has lived most of the time. He has long list of achievements to his credit and would make strong race for the office if he is the republican nominee.

From all indications, Mother Jones must have been slightly irritated when she made the speech for Cover nor Hunt at Phoenix a week or so ago Taking it by and large, whatever that is, we really would not care for a Ma, or an advocate of that kind. Her remarks would rather lead one to be- lieve that Gov. Hunt should be made the supreme ruler of the universe, and the bible should be "scrapped" and thrown into the garbage pile.
