County Surveyor Samuel Logan, who has been in the employ of tho G. V. & & N. R. R. for some timo roturned to Solomonville last week and found immediate employment by Justice W. J. Parks. Ho is surveying and ploting seven acres of land which Mr. Parks recently purchased oast of and adjoining tho town-site of and which will bo sub-divided and sold in small tracts to thoso who desire to secure homes near tho county seat. It has been ascertained by tho surveyor Mr. Logan, that a part of the Mexican addition to is on tho land of Mr. Parks and a number of persons who sup posed thoy had secured titles to their lots under the town-site act now find that their holdings aro not within tho limits. Mr. Parks proposes to make easy teims with them and all difficulties, as to tho titles, can bo obviated. It is gratifying to tho people of the county seat to know that there is a demand for homo locations near Mr. Parka has already sold some lots in his, recent purchaso and as the locality is ono of tho most desirable in tho valley, thero will sOon be a demand for tho whole tract. Tho terms on which ho proposes to disposo of his lots aro extremely favorablo and prove that ho is deeply interested in tho growth and prosperity of tho county seat. Tho Board of Equalization havo been in session most of tho timo during tho past week. Andy Alexander and Miko Leahy were in town this week. .The 4th of Jul as Spent nt Camp Col umbine, Gialiam Mountains Tho glorious hundred and nineteenth birthtof oungieat nation was ushered ii by the firing of thirteen guns at tho break of day.

WESTERN REPUBLICANS. Sco the M Is koaiade In the Ohio Convention and Now Propose to do Something! A special to tho Daily JSTcws from Washington says: Westorn silver Eucpbhcans havo outlined uninteresting program to bo pursued in tho noxt National Republican convention. Today a western Republican of National prominence disclosed tho progiam of silver men in all its details and it is so audacious as to startle political managers here. "Tho plan," he says, "was agreed upon at acoufeienec o? senators held last month. The spates are Montana, Idaho, "Wyoming, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, California aiid South Dakota. These states aio claimed solidly for agreement and the states of North Dakota and Nebraska maj" yet join in tho movement. "It is tho purposo of tho west ern silver Republicans to meet and choose delegates to tho National Republican convention in regular form and when tho convention moots, to present tho name of senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania for president." "If Cameron is not acceptable tho convention will bo asked to-agree upon some other frco silver Republican. If it refuses to act upon tho suggestion, tho delegates from these western states say they will inarch out of tho convention in a body carrying with thorn as many free silver dclogatcs from other states as they can command. 'They will wait upon tho Democratic convention, not as dologates, because thoy cannot bo admitted as such, but as a commission knocking at tho doors and asking for tho nomination of a free silver Democrat, Sonator Morgan of Alabama, preferred. If the Democratic convention fails to act upon the demand, tho silver men will abandon both old parties. . V Ileal d of Supei ilsors. The meeting of tho Board of Supervisors at Solomonville on the 1st instant was watched with dcop attention by every ono who felt great intorost in tho notv Classification Law, Tlio District Attor ney had prepaicd full papers for injunction against tho Board, to provont the payment of county under tho old law, and to compel the observance of the now law. Judge Hyatt tho Court Commissioner was on hand so that tho papers could bo signed, sworn to, filed, and an injunction issued at a moments notice, if it became necessary when tho Board mot. Tho District Attorney had fust observed tho now law by tho County Recorder as Clerk of the Board, and filing with that officer tho claim for compensation undor tho now law, and ontircly ignoring tho old law from and after tho 22d of April last. After a short conference outside, tho Boai'd mot with quito a number of spectators present, and after being called to order recognized Recorder Leon as Clerk of tho Board, requesting that ho appoint Mr. Harry Smith as Deputy Clerk, which was done. This recognition of tho now law was satisfactory to tho District Attorney and tho in junction papers woro withhold. This was tho second meeting ot tlio Board since tho now law went into effect, and tho failuro or neglect of tho Board at its last special meeting to observe tho now law, and recognize Recorder Leon as Clerk, caused the steps to be taken for injunction proceedings, but now harmony apparently prevails again botween the Board and tho District Atlornoy. Tho Board shortly after its meeting sottled down to business auditing demands 'and attending to routine matters. On Tuesday Dr. J. A. Lacoy was permitted to tako tho hospital contract at tho same figures under which it was accepted by tho lato Dr. Coffman. Most of tho week was spent as a Board of Equalization, working steadily. HI The New County Fhyslclau. Dr. J. II. Lacy, of Solomonvillo, and who has been appointed to the position of County physician was in town last Saturday. Dr. Lacy is an old resident of Graham county, having located at Clifton about cloven years ago where ho practiced his profession for several years. After leaving tho Copper Company ho traveled and practiced in different states, and at ono timo had ohargo of ono of tho largest hospitals in Old but was obliged to abandon that position on account of poor health, and scok a moro healthy climate. Dr. Lacyjis a first-class physician and is welcomed backby tho pooplo of Graham. . ' P.VSTI7Iin TO RENT. , I havo an excellent pasture tq rent at Graham.

THE SILVER KNIGHTS Moro About That Secret Older AVlilch Senator Stownrt Hcnils. A special from Washington says that another secret organization has been formed in this country for political purposes. It is called tho Order of the Sapromo Temple, Silver Knights of America, and its headquarters are No. 142 New York avcnue,in Chicago. Tho indicated purposo of tho society is to advanco tlio cause of free coinage of silver. Tho knighfs arc chartered in Virginia as a corpoiation. Tho charter namos William M. Stowart of Carson City, Nov., as president of tho corporation, and among the other officers and directors aio tho names of two of Congress. It is claimed that tho loadors of tho movement aro prominent in all parts of tho country and that a great number of Representatives and Senators aro included among them. At tho genoral ofllco in Chicago a number of clerks arc engaged in sending out free-silver literature. It is claimed that temples aro now boing foimed throughout tho country and that th'o Silver Knights of America already show a very considerable organization. It is expected by tho promoters that by tho timo tho noxt campaign is actively cntorcu upon mere win no lodges of Silvor Knights in every town and hamlot of "United States. Access to tho lodger ooms can only bo obtained by means of pass-words and signs, and discussions that occur thero will bo guarded with tho utmost secrecy. Ton lllo Storms. Dispatches state that the cntiro eastern water shed to tho Nobraska and Iowa lines and to the Toxas was swopt last Sunday night by terriblo storms. Fields of grain that promised tho most bountiful jMcldfor many years wore swopt bai o ot vegetation. The sea ot rain was abottcd in its work of destruction by tornadoes. It is too early yet to sum up tho loss but tho total is appalling.and thoso to whom tho angry elements 3pared life havo littlo lett to sustain them. The storm ombraccd an area of two hundred squaro miles. Tho groatcst loss of life is reported from Winona, Minnesota, whoro oloven corps havo boon found with as many moro missing.

SHE DIED AT FAGALII, S0M0A, ON MAY 24TH, 1895. After an Illness of Twenty-One Dajs In a Strange Land. One of tho most melancholy events that wo havo yot been called upon to chronicle is tho death of Ella Adclia Williams Moody, wifo of Wm. A. Moody, at Fagali , Samoa. About tho 20th of last October Wm. A. Moody, of Thatcher, left for Samoa to perform a mission thero, accompanied by his wifo. Mrs. Moody was well and stiong when she left home, but the sea voyage did not agree with her, and sinco her arrival at tho Islands has not been in robust health, and on tho 3d of May gave birth to a daughter. After she had been confined her friends and tho attonding physician wcro greatly encouraged ana nad no tears for hor ultimate recovery. But she remained some what foverish and about May 8th commencsd to get worse until about tho middle of tho month sho rallied and it was thought tho danger point had been passed. She improved steadily until tho 21st when she was well enough to sit up and talk to hor husband and friends who were constant watchers at her bedside, and asked to have hor mail read. Tho doctor was in daily attendance, and did everything in his power to break tho fever which ho accomplished by the morning of tho 24th, and said if it did not return sho would recover. Aftor the fever had beon subdued tho doctor gave medicine to strengthen hor heart, after which ho was accompanied to his ofllco by Mr. Moody, about two miles distant. Will was greatly encouraged by tho doctor's reassuring words, but when ho returned homo he saw his wifo was dying. A few hours before her death her mind seomed to wander, as sho asked several times if her parents had como yet, stating that thoy wero very slow in coming. Everything was dono that a loving Dana and laithful friends could do to save her, but to no purpose, and as to tho hour of 7 o'clock p. m. May 21th, 1895, God called her spirit homo, and sho died in the arms of her husband. Mrs. May Bell, a white lady, who is a teacher among the natives, was untiring in her efforts at tho bedside of Mrs. Moody until with constant watching at night and teaching in the day sho was completely worn out, but her warm heart told her that tho baby must bo cared for, and'on tho 19th of May, by tho consent of Mr. and Mrs. Moody took tho littlo ono homo and eared for it thero. Sinco tho death of its mother tho littlo orphan has been placed in the permanent caro of Mkj. Bell until Mr. Moody returns home. Tho U. S. Consul to Samoa who is a friend of tho Bell family has interested himself in tho littlo one's welfare and has expressed great sympathy for Mr. Moody in his torriblo loss. Tho natives did all they could in thoir simple way to render assistance during Mrs. Moody's sickness, and when sho was buried, completely covered tho caskot and gravo with wreaths of flowers. Mrs. Moody had been married a little less than a year at tho timo of her demise, and was well known as a bright intelligent girl, with a loving and sympathetic disposition throughout tho entire community. When the news of her death arrived hero, it was a terrible blow-to her parents and friends, but we must yield to Him who docs all things well. DKLINQUENT SCHOOL TAX NOTICE.

Herald. -M-Tho boys played rather a mean trick on Editor Wolfloy this afternoon for which they should be ashamdd. Thoy saw him coming down tho street and taking a great big silver dollar fastened a string to it and threw it down on tho walk. As Mr. Wolfloy came along ho saw tho money and made a quick dive for it but not quick enough to-catch it, as tho boys had pulled the string and whoro the dollar had reposed so innocently there 'was nothing but bare sidewalk. Tho boys will never forget the look of ; withering scorn which tho editor turned upon them when their jeering laugh reached " his ears. Her- aid. -Mr E. F.

Happenings Throughout the, With the Scissors. Criminals from a distanco think that if they get into Arizona ' thoy will be coraparitvoly safe. Never was a greater error of judgmcnU committed. In probably no other; region of tho Union aro people so well acquainted personally with ono another over so largo, an area1 of country as in Arizona. The reason is that thero arc tively few centers of population, our people aro largely made up of bright, intelligent stockmen, mining men and business men who aro continually moving from ono point, to another about tho Territory; and then again there is little chanco to go anywhere or get into or out of tho Territory Except over established routes. It is rare that a criminal escapes for any length of? timo in Arizona. Herald. " T -)o(- Oh what a rain, wo were moved thereto, by looking out of tho window, this the 2d day of July, A.
