succeeded in experimenting the major

elapsed before the curtain was raised
upon this last act in tins pioneer drama,
aud then the scene YVES shifted to Sonora,
Mexico, and Powers played lone hand.
After the tragedy of San Juan Capistmno

committee. Powers fed southwark,
and, after numerous adventures, entered
the state of Sonora. Here he became
engaged in mine enterprises and was
quite successful in his ventures He be-
came the proprietor OF a wealthy hacicn-
da in the vicinity of Arispe His dis
position and character, however, ex-
perlcnced no change from his change of
fortune, He was universally eXecrated
by his employees. One day, after heated
alteration with several Yaquis'in his en-
ploy, he was surrounded by a number of
the infurated Indians. His feet were
bound and riatas attached to his arms.
In this manner ho was dragged
over a thick patch Of choyas, one of
the most murderous of the cactus family.
He was then dragged and pounded over
the cacti and pointed rocks until death
relieved his suffering. Thus ended the
career of Il hend incarnate-a fearful but
just retrbution for his numerous crimes.

TnF recent movement 10 Massaclu-

the women Of their denomination to 90

a following u Protestant women In the
same direction. 1t wiz place the woman
suffrage question beyond the power Of
politicians OF any party to hinder it's nd
vance, whatever thcy may think Of 10, or
however ;hcy may be DISPOSED towards

Cenlreyillc Democrats The following
article from the Fairfield Recorder in re-
gard to the Fort Worth & New Orleans
rairoad-which will probably pass near
ly centrally through this county--fore-
shadows the prospect OF the completion
OF an important railroad enterprise, at no
distant day, which ought to he matter
Of interest to our people, and wc hope,
should the prospect of building the road
through this county TO the important con
ncctions contemplated warrant it, that
the people OF Leon county VIII encourage
the undertaking by every means within
their power, to secure the best adyan-
tages possible for as central a location OF
the road through the county as practi-
cable.

everything else within the scope Of a
mans life, every individual must be re-
sponsiblc for his own acts. Dr. Wright
thinks the appetite comes TO DC abso-
lutely uncomfortable by the drinker.

in the beginning, or only becomes so
through indulgence, the individual mwhom

novel contribution TO the literature

"a pathological and psychological study

viii find in the work powerful argu.
ment for the suppression of whisky
traffic, as in that way only can mankind
be protected against their inherited and

1t appears to be the authors idea that
drunkenness is primarily disease OF

causes of drunkenness are not found
within, but they come from without
They consist IN diseases, in physical
injuries, and in thousand unavoidable

which enter upon the study OF the use OF
alcohol run Into extreme views in one

alcohol, or any other stimulant, results

position TO the abuse of sthnulants is
