Two Children, Drowned.

On Saturday of last week, after the CHAMPION had gone to press, the
 news reached us of the drowning ol
 two children near Williams, at a place known as Johnson canon. Mrs. Johnson lives at the point mentioned,
 near the railroad track. widow lady
 with four small children. Two oi
 these, boy eight years old and a | girl of six, went to a pool of water collected against the railroad embank- ment to go in bathing. While in, the little girl got beyond her depth and screamed for help. Her heroic little brother went 60 her assistance and not being able to swim, both children sunk in the muddy pool and were drowned. A little four year old brother of the two, standing on the bank, witnessed the scene and ran crying to her mother and told her what had happened. The alarm was given and number of men soon col lected around the pool, and after five or six hours hard work dragging the bottom of the tank, succeeded in re- covering the bodies. Mrs. Johnson was nearly crazed with grief.

Arsrnorla, Services in Flagstair.

Decoration services. at the schoo
 house, in Flagstaff, on Sunday last,
 were of the most imposing charactel
 ever held in our town. The an
 nouncement had been made in tho
 CHAMPION that the services would
 commence at II o'clock, and long
 before that time our citizens had gath
 cred until nearly every seat was filled, ! The solemn march of the members oi
 the G. A. R., lead by Commander Burns, and Pinkerton bearing the national colors draped in mourning
 for their dead comrads, each veteran bearing bouquet of flowers, brought back to the old citizens fresh memor- ies of the scenes of twenty years ago.
 As the old veterans, many of them bearing the scars of battle, entered the school room, the entire congrega- ton arose and remained standing while the soldiers marched around and placed their bouquets Of flowers on the altar and took their seats. The floral display was beautiful and i'm posing. The exercises were opened by singing My Country 'Tis of Thee," when Rev. J. F. Pierce read the morning lesson. We have heard many addresses on decoration days during the past fifteen years, but nev
 CT before have we listened to so pa thetic and eloquent an effort as that delivered by the Reverend gentleman on this occasion. His words deeply penetrated the hearts of every person present, and his touching allusiCns to the parting at home from relatives and friends, the scenes on the battle field, and sympathetic incidents of the war, were so affecting that there was hardly dry eye in the house, and the tears trinkled down the cheeks of many of the old veterans who had just such scenes. It is an address that will long be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to be present, and Ransom Post, G. A. R., of Flagstaff, will cherish lasting regard for the speaker.

Suicide at Prescott.

R. ]. Rutherford, for many years driver of an express wagon in Pres colt, and ex-coroner Of Yavapai coun- ty, committed suicide at Prescott, on Sunday night last, by taking a dose of morphine. He left a letter desig- hating the men he desired to serve on the Coroner's jury. Deceased was born in Alabama some fifty years ago, lived in Kentucky and California, be- fore coming to Arizona, some eight years ago. He was always jolly, or appeared so, and no one who knew him thought that man of his ten perament would or could deliberately take his own life. Letters left by him, however, prove. beyond a doubi, that he planned suicide, and the result shows that his plan was carried out
 He had financial troubles, but they were of d trivial nature, and he left the assertion on record that woman caused him to commit the rash act.

Fourth of July at Winslow.

The citizens are making extensive preparations for a grand Fourth of July celebration at Winslow. Our correspondent at that place glves full particulars elsewhere. As the time is rapidly hurrying, and the Fourth near at hand, and still nothing done in Flagstaff, it is reasonable to suppose our citizens will have to look else where for amusement on that day. We presume Flagstaff will be we'll repre- scnted at W!nslow on that day.

A great many citizens have SO fal tailed to see or hear any good reason why members of stock associations are not qualified the same as other citizens, to sit upon juries when per. sons accused of having stolen stock are on trial, yet there are those among us who object to their doing so. As general rule, the stock own- CTS of this county are fair, candid, law abiding citizens. They are great respectors of the law and its obliga- tions, and while they do not look kindly upon men who like to increase their wealth by robbing other people, they would, we are quite sure, give all such people fair and impartial trial.

Meancst Sneak In Town.

Malarial gases sneaked up through the poorly. constructed drains and made baby very sick with malarial fever. Baby would have died but for timely use of Browns Iron Bitters. There is nothing meaner in its way of coming, nor worse in its effects, than this malaria from the under ground regions. Mrs. Mcdonald, of New Haven, Conn.,, says: "For six years I suffered from the effects of malaria, but Browns Iron Bitters cured me entirely" Try it when malaria steals in and undermines your constitution. It will give relief.

winslow Whisperings.

June. 4.-In pursuance to call o all loyal citizens, meeting was held at the Arizona CenN Hotel las Tuesday evening to Ike steps for : grand 4th of July celebration. J. H Breed was appointed chairman, ant in his plain, matter-of-fact way ex plained the object of the meeting saying that we must have "hell O ], a time" to celebrate the day our fore. fathers fought, bled and dled to com merate. Over s4oo were subscribed on the spot, for the expenses of the occasion.
 Itwas decided to have an unequaled display of fireworks in the evening. Prizes are to be offered for horse-rac- es, foot races and game of base ball between the Winslow nine and any nine that can be prevailed upon to come to Winslow and play. A grand ball in the evening will conclude the days entertainment.
 A general invitation is extended to all, especially our sister cities of Hol- brook and Flagstaff. The citizens in general arc working hard already and the success of the day is an as sured fact-even the ladies taking an active part.
 Frank Hart is now busy hauling his wool clip to the depot for shipment.
 ], H. Breed left on Wednesday for St. Johns, to be gone ten days.
 Fishing IS now excellent in the Lit tie Colorado and Clear Creek, and as business on the road is not at its best at present, the railroad boys while away the time tickling the pal ates of the finny tribe with grub worms.
 A new platform is being put down around the depot, under the super vision of Joe Andres, the "boss" car penter of the A. & P.
 
 The wish of all the people of Win. slow is that all the men, women and children of Flagstaff will come here on the 4th of July and get better ac- quainted and have a good time.
 J. H. Perry left on Wednesday for Sidney, Ohio, on visit to his father and mother, and will extend his jour ney to Philadelphia and New York before his return. Some think that Jim has received a letter from his un- cle Grover to come to Washington.

Moving Trees In the Fall.

In order to get the benefit of time,
which is so necessary to the healing of
wounds, as we'll as for the production of
new roots, the trees should be taken up
from the nursery rows in the fall. and
then heeled in, burying the roots 80
deep that they will be beyond the reach
of frosts during the winter months. In
such a position the healing process will
proceed slowly. but surely, and by the
time the frost is out Of the ground in
spring the roots on carefully heeled-in or
buried trees will have commenced to
throw out new rootlets, and when
placed in their final position they will
push earlier and more vigorously than
trees taken up from the nursery in
spring.
A rather dry place should be selected
for burying the roots of trees, because if
water settles about their roots it will re
tard if it does not entirely prevent the
healing of wounds. 1t is well to cover
about one-half the stems, rom the roots
upward; the remainder may be protected
with evergreen boughs, or coarse bog-hay
or some similar material. Straw should
never be used for this purpose if it can
be avoided, because it is certain to at
tract mice. Soft-wooded tees, like the
magnolias, tulip, papaw, and Endens,
require more protection when heeled-in
in the fall than the hard-wooded kinds,
and whenever practicable they should
be kept in cool cellars.

An Old Squirrel Story, Newly Dressed,
Greensboro (Gs Herald.

1t wasn't many Saturdays ago that a
number of gentlemen standing upon the
streets at Greensboro discussed OK
hunting. bird hunting and kindred
sports. Each one had told q story, re-
markable in high degree, when the eli
max was reached by one of the gentle
men, who told the following story:
"Coons - said he with a sneer, "You

my favorite pastime was coon-hunting
Early one morning l started out with
my dogs for hunt. The morning was
damp and heavy, and We hadn't gone
far before the dogs struck trail, and
away they went. How beautiful it was!
Through the underbrush they rushed,
crashing, barking, the sounds coming to
US like low music on the morning air. It
wasn't many minutes before the long
howl of the leading dog told us that he
had freed.

There we came upon the dogs all clust-
cred about cypress log. They smelled
it, and then all started back as if they
didn't know what was to pay. We drew
near and endeavored to urge them on.
But they wouldn't urge. We went up to
the log, and it seemed to be moving. l
did't know what to make of it. The sides
of it rose and fell as regular as the beat
of q clock. We finally cut into it, and
there it was packed with coons. We

There was q CHASTITY silence and the
crowd moved away.

A contract is reported to have been
