TRAGEDY In HIGH LIFE.

January 31st last was day of
tragedy in the Life of Mrs. Frank
Parmelee, and her pet Dog. The
purp had been taken off of No. 3 for
an airing and while he was enjoying
the fresh Arizona ozone the Nauthy
Engineer allowed the Engine to
Blow off steam, which scared him out
of his senses. When last seen the little
pound black and tan was headed for
Old Mexico The owner was compelled
to continue her journey alone, and
now comes a letter offering reward
for the return of Fido. Any one
knowing of his whereabouts will re-
ceiVe S2500 for his return.

STATE FINANCES DISCUSSED
GIVE Us BACK OLD WHITE CAR
SAYS SENATOR RUTHERFORD

ton showed how hundreds of thou
sands of dollars of state funds were
required and appropriated for the ad-
miniStration of several state commits
sionS and boards, the usefulness of
which he seriously questioned. He
then reminded the senate that he had
early in the session introduced bills
for abolishing over a dozen of them,
and had got nowhere. The Senator
then recited a touching ballad of his
own composition entitled:
GIVE US BACK THE OLD WHITE
CAR
When the state officials travel
All the common folks scratch gravel;
Some poor taxpayers pocket feels
Every stone that hits the wheels.
They pound the gas, and let the rubes
Pay the bills are mighty steep,
They tax some jay few more sheep
If their speeding strips the gears
They tax some covenants car of steers
Let the hayseed ranchers pay
For their joy rides every day
pOffice holders need to ride,
so boost the tax on every side.
Hundred and thirty thousand dollars!
'Too much money" every voter hollers
Such extravaganza makes the voters
yell
Put on the brakes, hear the echo
wide and far:
Give us back, oh, give us back, the
Old White Car
After that the senate voted to re-
commend that the state pay 51a per
cent instead of five per cent on state
warrants.
Sen. Winsor in characteriStically
able speech stated that it was time
that the real conditions of the state
were brought tn the attention of the
people The proposed bill, he said
was only a measure of alleviation
and did not go to the root of the evil
The situation in Arizona requires a
major operation to cure it, and the
biggest duty confronting the legiSla-
ture was to come to realization of
the needs of the state and be true
to their duty. Regardless of who is
responsible for present conditions, it
is the duty of the present legislature
to face the problems involved and
they would be held responsible for
failure of success in meeting them,
do said. President Winsor recon-
mended a survey of state finances
and business conditions to get at the
facts and a true diagnosis of the di-
sease in order that the senate might
proceed intelligently to apply the
right remedies. He strongly condem-
ned the present haphazard policy in
state finances "of borrowing from
Peter to pay Paul. Our outgo must
not exceed our income, and our in
come must be kept within the ability
of the people to pay. For the people
pay for all things" he stated in con-
cluSiOn.
Sen. Phillips, while not in any way
admitting that the former administra-
! tion was at all responsible for the
present state of Arizona finances,
blamed the status prevailing on un-
avoidable conditions following the
consideration to the deplorable con-
dition of the majority of the farmers
of the state who were unable to pay
their heavy taxes and the added bur-
den of IA per cent interest and pen
atty, which he said in many cases
amounted to confiscation. Inflated
values for taxation purposes also re-
ceived a scoring from the Republican
senator, who cited instances where
Maricopa farms sold for delinquent
taxes, had not brought as much at the
sale as their assessed valuation on
the assessors records.

work Tuesday forenoon that would
have flushed the cheeks with pride
of Nick Carter in that gents palmi-

clever sneak thieves being placed
safely behind prison bars.
Shortly after Joe Budik and Ben
Holm had opened Dahls store Tues
day morning, two MeXicans entered
the place and asked to be shown a
pair OF shoes. While Mr.. Holm was
busy showing one Of the fellows a
Sr OF shoes the other Mexican
busted himself in making cleanup
In the ladies' dress department and
from developments that came later
in the forenoon, he found the pick

TWO gents visited the store Of Oscar

tected the fellow slipping some
thing under his jacket as he quick
" left the store. Things didn't
look just right to Ed and he order
ed the Mexican he was waiting ON
to bring his partner back with the
threat OF calling the sheriff. The
other fellow then made a bolt for
the door and quickly disappeared
Mr.. Tessien called up Sheriff Lee
and within q few minutes the two
were on the track OF the thieves
They were rewarded in their search
when they spied two men ON the
railroad track east OF the depot
They parked their car and walked
up on the track, but no one was
In sight: After carefully scrutiniz

the two men they discovered them

proved to be the Mexicans wanted
and after careful search Of their
clothing Sheriff Lee found five silk
dresses and large amount Of silks
that had been taken from the Dab

NEW LIGHTING CONTRACT
Thomas McGovern Makes Generou:
Proposal To Madelia.


Madelia, July 28.-Madelia is des-
tined to rival Hibbing as the best
lighted village in the world. At 9
meeting Of the council a new con
tract was made with Thomas J. Nc
Govern, head OF the Madelia, Elec-
trio company. and by the terms OF
that contract the village will re
ceive one-fourth more light than il
is now receiving, with no !, extra
charge for the increased candle pow
er.
The Madelia Times Messenger
says: "This proposition to provide
the village with better lighting serv
Ice was the voluntary proposal OF
Mr.. McGovern, who has met with a
fair degree of success since coming
to Madelia, and who was DESTROYS
OF in some manner showing his ap-
probation. There are no strings to
the contract, and there have been nc
complaints regarding past service
which might have caused Mr.. Nc
Govern to consider making himself
more solid With the VILLAGE officials
AS we said before, his generous pro
possl is entirely voluntary and gra
tituous. He takes just pride in
the appearance of the village and Is
anxious to give the best possible
service.
"The company will install a new
regulator and will take out all street
lamps now in use, replacing them
with new ones. It will also take over
the unteep of the globes on the
White Way.
1.-THE Candle power Of the Main
street White Way will be increased
from two 40 and one 60 candle power
lights on each post, to two COS and
one 70. On st. Paul street the lights
will be increased from so to rs
candle power. All other street lights
will be increased from 80 to 10O
candle power. Mr.. McGovern's do
nation to the village Is a generous
one and viii be appreciated by our
citizens"
