lutely failing TO give her relief. Having
heard of the cures effected by your med

them for her to try, urging her to give
them a fair trial, and now she writes me
as follows: "Thanks to that wonderful
medicine you sent me, my health Is
greatly improved; the pain in my side
which the doctors here could not relieve
has entirely disappeared, and | feel as II
| had new lease on life"

The St. Johns herald., 1885-09-03

St. Johns is grading high up in life it is animated from top to bottom. Visi- tors from the country, with their own outfits, are filling our boarding houses and the houses of public entertainment. They are patronizing largely our ample facilities for tha care of animals; vehi- cles bearing people from every part of he territory are hourly arriving in anti :ipation of the session of the district court-some as counsel, some as liti- gants, and others as witnesses; our own people are brushing up to give them all a pleasant reception and welcome greet ing. The "great, white school house on the hill '" is the first to salute the worn traveller with the cheerful invitation "Come hither, Soul, I am the Way" The new jail, with its bright, metal roof, reflects back the suns bright rays and invites with it's borrowed brilliancy the unwary and unwise; don't be fooled by its glittering outside show, there's gloom inside-pass not by it, but turn away. Selah!

HE ALBUQUERQUE FAIR.

The fifth annual territorial exposition will open at Albuquerque, New Mexico, on the 29th of September, and continue for four days. It will without doubt be the finest and most successful effort of the people of the territory in that direc- ton since the first fair was held. The great reduction of rates on all routes leading into Albuquerque will make it possible for people everywhere, rich or poor, to visit the fair. The large ac- commodations for transient visitors is not excelled by any town or city in New Mexico, and no one need fear that they are to be houseless and comfortless. Albuquerque may justly boast of the finest hotels, in everything the word i'm plies, in the great southwest Her many restaurants, lunch and coffee rooms, and her we'll appointed lodging houses, will vie with the best anywhere for cleanliness and comfort to patrons, and security for their property.

THE HOLD-UP.

The blackboard carrying the mail, which left St. Johns for Navajo Tues day morning last, was ''held-up" by two highwaymen at Zuni bridge, about twelve miles north on the St. Johns and Navajo road. The mail pouch con- taining the Springerville and the entire southern and St. Johns matter was over hauled by these miscreants. Dr. Var row of the Smithsonian scientific explo- ration party, was the only passenger, and it is feared that he may be the loser of very valuable watch in ad- dition to whatever funds he may have had for travelling expenses. The report of the robbery was brought in by F. C.. Lewis expressman, who saw the fleeing robbers going in the direction of the Zuni villages. Sheriff Hubbell sent out strong force of men we'll acquainted with every watering place and trail, who will, if possible, bring the williams in. We hope they may be successful.

DISASTROUS FIRE.

On Friday night last, between the hours of eleven and twelve, light was discovered at the rear end of Crosby, Patterson & Co.'S. furniture warehouse, and by the time general alarm could be given the whole establishment, which was constructed of wood, was afame. Neither of the proprietors were in town at the time of the fire. Mir. Patterson being at the saw mill, in which the firm is interested, and Mir. Crosby was at Albuquerque purchasing goods for the firm. So rapid was the destruction that nothing worthy of mention was or could be saved. The loss to the firm is total, not one penny in insurance was protect ing the goods in store or the building that contained them, and will amount to fully 5000.
 The residence of Harris Baldwin, To- cated on the adjoining lot, very narrowly escaped destruction, and it was only by fighting the flames inch by inch that it was preserved. In this particular effort Mir. Frank Clark was badly burned about the face by the flying sheets of fire. MT. John Quigley was also in the midst of the fire, but came off with less damaging results than his co-Worker, Clark.
 The safe containing the books and valuable papers of the firm was opened after it had cooled, and found to con- tain everything in perfect condition. The sympathy of the whole community of St. Johns IS expressed for Messrs. Crosby & Patterson, who are numbered among our best citizens.
