When in the Wrong Channel

The bile wreaks grievous injury.
Headaches, constipation, pain in
the liver aud stomach, nausea en-
sue. A few doses of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters will reform these
evils and prevent further injury
1t is a pleasant apcrient, it's action
upon the bowels being unaccompa-
MED by gripping. The liver is both
regulated and stimulated by it, and
as it is very impolitic to disregard
disorder Of that organ, which from
neglect may eliminate in dangerous
congestion and hepatic abscess, the
Bitters shonld he resorted to at an
early stage. Failure to do this
renders a contest with the malady
more protracted. Fever and ague,
rheumatism, kidney and bladder
troubles, are remedied by this fine
medicine, and the increasing in
tirmities of age mitigated by it. 1t
may be also used in couvalescence
with advantage, as it hastens resto-
ration Of vigor.

a step from his position nor cease
to advocate what he knew to he

lack of harmony helped materially

The Dog and the Tin Can.

There has not been horse race 1T town since the departure of the fam ous Lucy, but the interest in the con test of speed between the dog and the tin can is unabated. The race gen. orally comes off under the direction ard management of the "Flagstaff gang" who arrange the prelimina- res and furnish the tin can. The dog is usually furnished by some of the townspeople or some visitor from the rural districts. The owner of the dog seldom attends the race, but sometimes exhibits great interest in the event after it is all over. The distance varies from one to seven miles, according to the nerve and temperament of the dog, or the loca- ton of his masters house. To facil- itate matters the dog is allowed a length in the start which is deducted by the judges in determining the re- suit of the race.
 If the dog is from the country and is lineal descendant of the coyote, no definite signal is required for the start; once released by the "gang," he "stands not upon ihe order of his going" but goes at once. If he is a dog that has participated in former contests of speed with the can, he manifests an ardent desire to get the start on the latter, and it has been noticed that even when it was evident to the admiring spectators that the can was distanced, the dog kept up a high rate of speed on the home stretch. If he is city or an educat- ed dog and stands on ceremony, the flash of cork saturated with benzine, or the explosion of few frecrackers in the can will be recognized by him as a signal to start. If the dog is a resident of the immediate vicinity a circular race is allowed of indefinite length, the judges being instructed to let them go as they please. The can covers more space at single bound, but the dog is quicker of mo- tion, keeps closer to the ground and on the whole, manifests the greatest interest in the race.
 The can is frequently distanced, but the contest is usually a draw.

Shooting at Ash Fork.

On the afternoon of the 10th at Ash Fork Henry Williams, freighter who nles between that place and Prescott, and a bar tender by the name of Ballard, indulged in a little gun practice on each other, and had it not been for the interference of peaccably inclined friends of both parties, would undoubtedly have re- suited in either one or the other of the belligerents "golng up the track. '" The trouble was over pistol which Williams had left in the possession of Ballard while in sober state. and which he afterwards called for after bclng more or less underthe influence of the double distilled. Ballard tried 10 reason with him, but found it a fruitless task, Williams boisterously declaring he would have his gun at all hazards, and immediately left the saloon. He returned in few min utes armed to the teeth, and com menced fusilade with his Winches- ter, Ballard retaliating with Smith X Weston, but the latter only fired one shot. Williams second shot from the Winchester struck Ballatd in the thigh, and he fell behind the bar counter. Williams had very close call, the ball from Ballard $ pistol just missing his head. Friends nterfered and prevented any further trouble between them, thus averting another chapter of what might have been a bloody event in the history of that usually peaceable community.

By request of a large number of the friends of the enterprise, Col. Eddy will meet the citizens generally, at the M. E. Church this evening, and in an informal social way, give them the exact situation, as much in detail as the time will admit.
 Cal. Eddy and Gen. McDonell will go to Flagstaff, next week, and if the rigors of winter in that altitude do not forbid, will commence work at once. It is thought that some rock work near Flagstaff may be done to advantage this winter.-Silver Belt.

All our friends "down the road" should go and see the show.
