Phexix, Feb. 23, 1896. Well, the great Carnival week has come and gone; Phenix has done herself proud. The cit j was beauti fully decorated, and at night, stand ing on Washington street, the view down the street lit up by thousands of vari colored electric lights strung on the trolly wire braces, with the two hugh arches likewise blazing with electricity, was one never to be forgotten. I have seen more ex- ltrcror niiimin.it inns but never one mat exceuea ims ior genuine taste and beauty. The whole week was one of jolification. The real fun began on Wednesday when the grand street parade took place. This surpassed the expecta tions of everybody. The floats were both elegant and unique. Probably the most interesting ones were the two of the Arizona Improvement company. The first was a desert scene sage brush, cactus and sand neatly arranged and a crouching Pima Indian under a mesquite bush, a real typical piece of the desert. This float was labelled "The desert before irrigating." Following this came a float showing the results of irrigating, it being, loaded with oranges, alfalfa and every product of the valley. The procession sur prised the strangers from abroad and showed the enterprise of the Phenix men to a good advantage. It was over an hour passing a given point, on a good sharp march. The Indian School display elicited an unusual amount of praise from every one, and they well deserved it. Preceded by the band made up from the boys, playing in most excellent time and tune, came tho boys brig ade marching in seta of fours, erect and soldierly; then a battalion of t-!-'--nita n crnnñ st-p JIT( land all marching with a vini and ! j percision that mado the stfagglingi National Uuard companies seem raw recruits by comparison. The work here at the ludían School has been something marvellous and shows what may be done with the Indian when he is taken in hand by the right system and person. The three companies of regulars from Whipple Barracks, under com mand of Captain Galbraith of the Eleventh U. S. Infantry, were quite an addition to the Carnival attrac tions. Their camp was daily visited by thousands to view guard-mount and dress parade. The Regular Band is ona of the best U. S. mili tary bands I have ever heard and the evening concerts given down town by it were genuine treats. The Cowboy sports at the Park, attracted an immense crowd. There were some sixteen or eighteen en tries for the ropinsr contest, and a more miserable lot of ropers proba bly never was gotten together in one bunch before. They were all "cen ter fire" punchers with raw-hide reatas, who looked awful pretty riding up and down Washington street, but when it comes to tying down a steer 111 back any good Hashknife puncher on a double-rig saddle and an old grass rope against the whole crowd. There was one thing sure that was against them and that was the obstructions in the roping arena. It was a poor place to handle a steer in, but even when they caught one they couldn't throw it and if they did it took 'em so long to "take their wraps" and get up to the animal at the end of a sixty-foot rope, that they were gen erally on their feet before the men got to them. Three saddles were pulled off the horses and the crowd guyed them awfully. There is one thing these fellows down here can do though, and that is ride a buck ing horse. There are a dozen men here who can sit a broncho as pret tily as I ever saw it done. The broncho riding was splendid. But now tho Carnival is all a thing of the past and we will settle back and take it easy for a while. Financially it was a 'great success and the town got its money back ten fold. Spring is coming rapidly; the almond, peach and apritcos are in full bloom and the air is heavy with their fragrance; the alfalfa fields are waving on every side, and the country is. longing for a good soak ing rain. Cattle are still going out at a very good rate and at good prices. I saw Jno. T. Leseuer and Jos. Patterson of St. Johns, on the streets during Carnival week; also Bob Casbier of Winslow and Jim Ilouck of Holbrook; George Scott and the Amos boys of Show Low, all came in too to see the sights. The date for the Territorial con vention has not been set yet, but will probably be between the 15th and 25th of April. So much talk lias been madeTabout holding tlus convention that it is perhaps well to explain that the rules of the National committee require that the State conventions be held at least thirty days before the date of hold ing the National convention, June 6th and farther, that a twenty-days notice shall be given for holding it. Thus it will bo seen that at the very latest the convention must be held before May 16. Early April would bo better on account of the hot weather here in Phenix, where the convention should be held. As to the idea of holding but one conven tion and nominating a Delegate to Congress as well as delegates to St. Louis convention, I certainly am op posed to it. The candidate, whoever he may be, would be simply worried to death by such a long campaign and besides, should the present Delegate be re-nominated, which is not unlikely, his every act in Con gress, whether right or wrong, would be pounced upon by the opposition and used against him and the party. No, gentlemen, hold your other con vention late in the summer say September; it will be better both for the party and the candidates. Amongst the Democrats there seems to be a very general opinion that Mark. A. Smith will again "sh 'shtr his i'astor"' into the political ai and 'make a bid for theDeiog aren; ship. As a good Republican, and thinking only of our success, I sin cerely hope he may get it; and yet, after all, he is the strongest man the party has to put up. The Pops met here in solemn con clave and put up Buckey O'Neil again backed by a platform that proposes to regulate about every thing from the weather down to the price of pumpkins. W. C. B. Lieutenant Slocum, now here with his troop of the Seventh cavalry, en tertained a few of his friends at a regular camp dinner Monday even ing at 6 o'clock. The dinner was prepared by the troop cooks and the menu consisted of nothing but a plain soldier's daily food. A band of music played - sweet music while those present sampled the black cof fee andthe contents of the bean pot, After dinner the party went into the parlor of I. E. Solomon and danced until ten o'clock. Lieutenant Slo cum was pronounced by all to be a royal host. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. 1. L. bmith, Dr. and Mrs. Lacy, Mr. Rice, Chas. F. Solomon, I. E. Solomon, Misses Sol omon, Miss Kelly, Miss Guernsey, Miss Reynolds, Mr. G. B. Reynolds, and Lieutenants Slocum and Clark. Graham County Bulletin. The' sixteen-year-old daughter of Mrs. Moore, now living in Lonesome valley, was taken to Phenix this week and placed in the insane asy lum. On Saturday last she with her brother went to visit some old ruins near Coyote Springs and while she was climing up the cliffs she lost one of her shoes, her brother picked it up and in attempting to throw it up to her hit it against a rock, knocking the heel from the shoe. This seemed to anger the little girl, and she de clared she would not remain at home any longer, but would go to Prescott and started to walk to that city. The brother went home and reported the above facts, when a search for the child was commenced and continued until Sunday night when she was found wandering in the valley crazy. From the trails followed she must have walked nearly forty-five miles during the time she was lost Ari zona Mining News. Call and subscribe for the Asacg. The Federal Constitution. Ex-President Harrison's paper in The Ladies' Home Journal of "This Country of Ours"series treats com prehensively of the constitution and its application and operation, defi ning the instrument, its scope and limitations clearly. "The word 'con stitution,' " he writes, "as used among us implies a written instrument, but in England it is used to describe a governmental system or organization made up of charters as the Magna Charta the general acts of parlia ment and a body cf long established legal usagri or customs. These are 1 not ootflplléd inBny single instru- ment as with us, but are to be sought in many places. "The common American usage in making a state constitution is to elect by a popular vote delegates to a con vention, whose duty it is to prepare a plan of government. When the the delegates have agreed and have properly certified the instrument, it is submitted to a direct vote of the people, and each voter casts a ballot 'For the constitution' or 'Against the constitution.' If a majority vote for the const itution, it then becomes the paramount law of the state. The legislature does not make the consti tution; the constitution makes the legislature. The American idea is that constitutions proceed from the people in the exercise of their natur al right of self government and can only be amended or superceeded by the people. Whatever one legisla ture or congress enacts the next one may repeal, but neither can repeal or ínlrmge a constitutional provi sion. "The delegates to the convention that framed the constitution of the United Stated were not, however, chosen by a popular vote in the states, but by the legislatures. Nor was the question of the adoption of the constitution submitted in the states to a direct popular vote. There have been 15 amendments to tile conbiJution adopted. renot theae proposed to the legis latures of the states and ratified. The other five amendments have in like manner been submitted by con gress to the state legislatures for ratification, conventions in the states not having been used in any case. It will be noticed also that the vote upon the adoption of the constitu tion and upon amendments thereto is by states, each state, without re gard to its population, ha-ing one vote. But while these provisions make the popular control less direct than is usual in the states and neces sarily recognize the states in the pro cess of making and amending the constitution, the idea that consti tutions proceed from the people is not lost."' Two weeks since Mr. Sam Hughes, while returning from his stock ranch north of town, came across a dead mesquite tree upon which honey-bees had built their combs. They had appropriated three limbs; the center one had evidently been the com mencement and the other two em braced in the enlargement of the comb. In breaking the limbs with a view to bringing some to town as a curiosity, the' two outer ones, with comb became detached and were left behind. The central limb was brought in and can now be seen at the office of Dr. Fenner. It con tains five heart-shaped combs, 20 inches wide by about 18 inches deep, and is truly an interesting feature in bee life. This however, is not the first instance in which bees have been known to build their combs on ex posed limbs of trees. In 1890 the Citizen published an account of a similar find by Mr. E. L. Wetmore on the Rillito. As it was summer, the bees were at work. He hived them and they did well. On the great mesas of Southern Arizona it is no easy thing for bees to find a hollow place in which to hive, but it is clear ly evident that if left to themselves they would in due Irrue change their mode of life aud thus meet their en vironments. Birds and animals are subject to this transition and there is no reason to believe that insects are not amendable to the same con ditions. Arizona Weekly Citizen.

A dispatch from Havana says the fact has been communicated by the Spanish government that 15,000 soldiers are missing with 15,000 rifles and 500,000 cartridges.

A week ago at Gerónimo, the new terminal station on the Globe, Gila Valley & Northern railway, in con tempt of the Catron anti-scrapping law, was held a lively knock-out prize fight between Young Sullivan of L03 Angeles and Andy (Barrett of .

The Colorado Springs & Cripple Creek Railway company have filed articles of incorporation with the secretary of state, with $1,000,000 capital. The incorporators are Wil liam R. Benzie, James A.

The object of the company is to build a rail road from Colorado Springs to Cripple Creek byway of Bearcafion, Rosamond park and Pike's Peak and on to Buena Vista. There is a touch of the ludicrous as well as the pathetic in the an nouncement, made by Our Mineral Wealth, that the agent of the Hual pais has been authorized to issue $150 worth of flour to 62-4 famishing Indians, which is about 24 cents' worth to each Indian, all the rations j lie has been able to obtain for the Hualpais. .

Groat heads, those department officials. Arizona Silver Belt. A telegram from the City of Mex- ico says, high officials of the depart ment of foreign relations, speaking of the recent prize fight(i), that nothing can be done to punish the people concerned as they merely violated what was practically only police regulation, succeeding in making a dash into Mexican terri tory, avoiding the Mexican .officials who were over fifty miles .away. Had they been caught the offense would have been only a misdemean or and nothing 'more. The offense is not an extraditable one. Presi dent Diaz has taken the ground all along that the Mexican law did not cover prize fiigliting and his en deavor was merely to prevent the fight out of consideration for the United States. The portmaster is in, receipt of a letter from D. G. Chilson, one of four brothers who, in the early days of this camp, located and mined the Silver Nugget claim at Richmond Basin. The mine proved a bonanza. Chunks of .silver were picked up on the surface and 80,000 in nuggets was shipped at one time.

An unknown man was billed Wed nesday evening Feb. 26th, by a Santa s Fe train just south of Los Angeles, -The pitifully-mangled body lies at : the morgue, with never a clue a3 to T J the name or identity save a few let ters scrawled in a memorandum book, which look something like "Universi ty, Z. Treat." As the train began leaving the cL ty, the engineer turned on- more steam, and soon the train was bowl- . ing along at a rapid rate. The air was so full of dust and sand that it was almost impossible to see any dis tance ahead. When tho train had reached a point between Nadeau Park and Central-avenue station, the engineer saw a man walking on the track. The whistle was blown and the brakes set, but too late to atop tho train; the poor unfortunate man was struck by the cow-catcher and his brains be-spattered over it and the track, while the lifeless body was pushed along the track, the head bumping over the ties. The top of the skull had been knocked off and lay on the track thirty or forty feet back. The clothes were almost all torn from the body, and the poor unfortunate's entrails protruded from a grapin? hole in the side, mak ing a ghastly and sickening sight to look upon. L. A. Times.
