THE Yuma Exchange was burglarized by ln;ans on Saturday night. A gratifying proof of their advanced civilization was afforded by the skill with which they cut a pane of glass and opened window on Jones street, near the corner. A few bottles ot whisky satiatod their greed As they were getting out they were hailed by one of the railroad employees, but they paid no attention to anything but getting away from there. He had pistol, but as it has just cost one of that crowd $60 to duck a Chinaman in the river, he was afraid it might cost more to shoot an Indian.

WHEN the A. & P. telegraph company decided to move their office to inc depot of the S. P R. R. it became necessary for MT. W. E. Smith to resign the management in justice to his duties to J. M Barney, and MT. Venton was appointed to the position. We are to be congratulated that in losing one good and competent fellow, we get another as agreeable and capable as is MT. Venton. The two telegraph offices have been connected and messages from Arizona by the Military telegraph can, if desired, and especially if so marked, be at once transferred to the Atlantic X Pacific wires Mir. Phillips, who has charge of this station on the former line, Sits between the two instruments, thus avoiding delay in the transfer.

THE exact time at Yuma is supposed to be B minutes and 50 seconds faster than that at San Francisco. The tables of the U. s. Signal Service are evidently in error on this matter. They give the time at Yuma as 160 minutes slower than that at Washington, while they make that at San Francisco only 1o2 minutes. They also make the difference in time between Yuma and San Diego only eight seconds; this is clearly an error, the distance being nearly SPmiles and the true difference about Il fSssjnutes The Western Union telegraph sppany takes its San Francisco time from hronometer of Thomas Tennent; the

DIR. SCHENCK's STANDARD REMEDIES.

The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are SCHENCK's PULMoNIo SYRUP, SCHENcK's SEA
WEED TONIC, and SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS.
and iftaken before the lungs are destroyed speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. j. II. Scheuck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrvalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs nature throws it off by easy expectora-
ton, for when the phlegm matter is ripe slight
cough will throw it off, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
ScIencks Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing
all distractions, relax the gall bladder, the bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schencks Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulan
and alterative the alkali of which it is composed,
mixes with the food and prevents souring 1t assists
the digestion by toning up the stomach to healthy
condition, SO that the food and the Pulmonic Syrup
will make good blood; then the lungs heal and the
patient will surely get well if care is taken to pre-
vent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. Schenck, either per-
sonay or by letter, can do so at his principal office
corner of SIXTH and ARCH STs., Philadelphia
every Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country. maieod6w2msn

Goldsmith's fine comedy "She Stops to
Conquer" was brought out at Fanny Marsh's
Theatre last night to the delight of an audience
larger than is usually seen on Monday night
The revival of this play was executed in man
ner very creditable to the management of the
| company, and the representation was very
pleasing.
The comedy received, SO far as mounting is
concerned, an entirely adequate representation.
The scenery was thoroughly satisfactory, and
in the miutest details fully met all the require
ments of the play. The faithfulress to time
and circumstance was especially noticeable in
the second act where the Hardcastle hall was
reproduced with the closest imitation of old
time furniture and other furnishings. The
management has certainly reason to be grati6ed
at its success in picturlng so completely the
manner and custom of the English Squire
archy.
Nor in acting was there reason to complain
of insufficiency. Miss Fanny Marsh as miss
Hardcastle'' gave one Of her best impersOna-
tions, noticeable for its naturalness in method,
finish in execution, and vivacity in rendition.
On her appearance in the second act beauti-
full floral wreath was thrown upon the stage by
some one in the audience who appreciated at
its full value the merit of acting. The tribute
was well-timed, for certainly since she became
known to the Portland public Miss Marsh has
given no representation more pleasing and few
as artistic as her impeIsonation of the heroine
of "She Stops to Conquer" She was exquis-
itely costumed, and the correctness and mag
nifcence of her dress contributed materially to
the unmistakable success of the rendition.
The support in the main was very satisfac.

to do as 'Dolly," acquitted herself as usual.
with marked credit Mr.. Wooderson was an

exaggeration which so often disfgures his i'm

been bestowed upon his worthy attempts has
apparently led him to believe them accomplish
