THE SAN ELIzARro TROUBLE

1t appears from this mornings dis
patches that the Mexican border
troubles, which eliminated in the kill.
ing of three or four Texas Rangers a
week or SO ago by an Infatuated mob,
have not yet been quieted. Upon the
. arriyalof United States troops at the
scene, they were called to assist the
State officers in arresting members Of
the mob which killed Judge Howard
and the Rangers. The mob resisted
and two of it's members were killed.
This was, perhaps, unavoidable. but
after the arrests were made, two of the
prisoners were killed by the Rangers.
The cause Of the uprising at San
Elizario is said to be q salt marsh.
From time immemorial the marsh was
considered common property. where ali
who desired could obtain salt. Many
of the Mexican residents of Texas were
engaged in the business of shipping
salt from the marsh to towns and
settlements in Texas and Mexico.
Recently a company took possession
of the marsh aud refused to let the
Mexicans have salt. for their own use or
for shipment, without pay. The Next
cans resisted this attempt to deprive
them of what they believed to be their
rights, and murdered Judge Howard,
the agent of the Salt Company, and
captured the Company of State troops
) sent to enforce the laws. No citizens
of Mexico participated in the disturb
ance, the Mexicans alluded to being ma.
tive born citizens Of Texas. This is
said to be the whole cause of the San
Elizario disturbances. though at other
places on the frontier cattle stealing is
represented as being at the bottom of
the disturbances, which interested
parties are endeavoring to magnify into
cause for war with Mexico. ~

Unanswered Prayer.


The Sheik-ul. Islam in Constantine
pie has composed prayer for Turkish
success, to be recited in all the
mosques of the Turkish empire. Its
expressions against the opposing
armies are not OF the most amlable
kind. After praying for the. Turkish
arms, it says: I" Sweep from the sur
face at the earth the inidels who
oppose. US. thee. and thy holy and only
religion. They are buried in the gloom
OF impiety ike hogs in swamp, and
yet they dare to lift their hands against
thy faithful people and thy prophet.
Mohammed. Dissolve their alliances,
dispense their troops, break their
weapons. crush their forces, and pitch
them into the depths of hell. May
they and their riches become the prey
of those who believe in thee and thy
prophet. and with whom may remain
thei grace and the benedictions of
Allah"

RAILROAD COLLISION.


An express and freight train collided
last evening near Cheyenne. on the
Union Pacific Railroad. A fireman was
killed and an engineer had his legs
broken; passengers were shaken up
: and almost frightened out of their
senses. Accidents of this character
can only result from objectionable
negligence on the Union and Central
Pacific Railroads. 1t is a rare occur.
renee to have more than four trains .
two east and two west bound, running
on any division Of these roads at any
given time. Under such circumstances,
with ordinary caution. no collision
could occur. If men entrusted with
the lives of others, so far forget the re-
sponsibilities resting upon them as to
cause death by the most objectionable
negligence. they should be treated and
punished as criminals of the most
dangerous character.

The Bonanza Of Florida Mountain.
IRON ths Idaho Avalanche.l
, Florida Mountain prospects are still
OF the most cheering character, and the
Black Jack ledge is. developing into an
immense and wonderful bonanza. The
shaft has been sunk to the depth of a
little more than one hundred feet, and
as it gets deeper the gold becomes
more abundant in the pay streak. The
ledge is growing stronger as the work
progresses, and the vein is steadily i'm
proving. There never was a mine
opened up anywhere in Owyhee that
seems to have such promising prospects

woald be instrumental in bringing this
section, of the country to the front
again, and we shoulda't be surprised if
it would surpass the Golden Chariot in
its most palmy aud productive times.
Two of the mills in camp are now rum
ming on Black Jack rock, and it is said
that negotiations are pending for the
purchase of the Gilmore mill. Severai
teams are engaged in hauling quartz
from the mine, good deal of which
will yield up into the hundreds. The
forcs of workmen will be largely in.
creased at the mine soon. which, with
the prospects of better hauling. viii

set every mill IN camp at work crushing.

How to Get an Annetite.

To q man or woman without an appetite,
'.the best the market affords" presents lit.
tic or no attractions. The sooner such Il
hapless individual puts the gastric organ
In a condition to enjoy the edible comforts
which a bountlful Providence has pro.
yided, the more reason there will 10 to
feel grateful for the suggestion. To do
this, inVig0rate the stomach with Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, which will enable
that organ TO digest properly, and, since
good digestion is the parent OF appetite,
give birth 10 a desire for food at the inter.
walls appointed by Nature. With chronic
want OF appetite are usually associated
nervousness, biliousness and constipation
three evils which are speedily overcome
by the Bitters. Ali persons oil 4 dyspep-
tic or bilious tendency should use this
hoalthiul tonic daily, or at least three or
fOur times a week. A pursuance Of this
course will soon iisure and confirm rad.
icaI change for the better in the condition
Of he stomach and associate organs.
