Here Is Your Help.

Among the GrgGmetitSi Fused by those who arc willing that the FAipesb should go but who want them to re. main little longer, is this, "How caR we get our washing done.' Any argb| ment on this question is solved by this answer: Purchase an A No. 1 LITTLE JOKER WASHING MACHINE" This machine is light and simple, cheap and durable, so simple that child or a weakly or sickly Ni0tnah' rati run 1t without e5ertion. It saves time in faEt a large fathily wash can be put out in two hours. It washes clean and does not wear out your clothes! Call and inspect one of the machines at Mrs. Grant who is the agent at the American Lodging House, Toughnut next door to the court house. Epnab4 stone, A. T. 4-lg-A .

HELENA May 3-Last night the levee at Old Town sixteen miles south of here broke on the Arkansas side and in a short time the canal had been worn away by escaping waters. There is no hope of closing the break while the waters of the river remain # Its present epth. A thousand acres of fertile cotton lands have already been overhowed and it is estimated that 8 million acres may be submerged before the levee can be repaired. ThS inhabitants of this reagon had expect ed this calamity for some time and had removed their stock and refrained from planting their regular crops So the actual damage will not be 80 very great.

He t7sc CiiiAoins of Tombstone.
 You are well aware of the objects for which the Tombstone Anti-Chinese League was organized, viz, the expul- sion of the Chinese from our midst. The objects of the league are being carried out lawfully, honorably and earnestly by nearly every member of the league. The league has been or ganized but few weeks, and in that time a great amount of good has been accomplished, so Chinese having left our city, and Of the IT still here, 1I9 have no employment. This much has been accomplished by the united efforts of law abiding citizens in a lawful manner; although the enemies of this move and of the American citizens more particularly (not over 3 per cent. of our population), through  the columns of the Epitaph, Lave by their persistent insults to each individ- ual member of the league, tried to drive us to commit some unlawful act so as to injurc and retard the good work that we are accomplishing. The only object that they have accomp. Iished, has been to swell the member ship of the league to 83I members, and call the attention of the citizens generally 10 the high moral standing of the editorial staff of the Epitaph. I cannot understand why it is that men who claim to be citizens of this free country, either by birth or adop- ton, will persist in welcoming, pro- tecting and patronizing this the great est curse that America has yet known, in preference to the white race. Can men who do this thing, have their coantry's welfare at heart? The foun dation Of our government Is threaten ed by hvrds of slaves from Asia, who come to take the places of the nIen, women and children so dear to us, and in q generation or two if not checked by the luboring classes, will de troy the liberty of our government by making slaves of those who should be raised to defend her. The league at considerable expense Co its mem- bcrs-men who could lily afford to make the outlay-hayc started white labor vegetable garden, which already gives employment to five white men at good wages, who could not find work elsewhere. We ask you to pat ronize our efforts and thereby help 10 rid the country of the retrograding heathen, and give us God speed on our way by protecting the rights of your children and mine.

 NoGALns, May 4-The special war correspondent of THE DAILY TOME STONE in the field sends the following through Company Guide Boswell, wbo took the dispatches and sent the samy from Nogales. Capt. Lebo and Lieut.. Clark, O. Troop K. (coloredD who have been in hot pursuit of the hostiles from Pcck's ranch fer d week crossed the railroad track four miles south of Nogales on Sunday aud followed the trail of the hostilcs on long and cir. cuitous route to the Santa Barbara peaks the same day. At daylight yesterday morning they pushed on to the Pin;co mountains, thirty mics southeast of Nogalrs, where they came upon the hostlles in full strength. The hostiIcs being in- trcnched on . taJic, tho apes of a very high peak with perpendicular walls, and the only approaches to the same being a box canyon and a Y gulch. Several Indian decoys showed up below and attempted to draw the troops into the canyon with tn9 in tention of massacrcing the whole command, but the officers of the command were too willy, and instead of approached the Indians from the gulch, and the troops had no sooner got into the gulch than the Indians fired upon them. The order was then gwen to dismount anL the horses under small guard were sent to the rear. The soldiers then chose con Yenient cover and commenced their approach toward the hostilcs and fr- ing became general on both sides. There were several hundred shots fired and ths fight was kept up flor one hour, from two until three o'clock ?. m., resulting in one solIier being killed anI one seriously wounded, and one Apache being I,illeI and several wounded.
 The Indians were in such numbers that they sent a number of warriors to the rear os the troops to capture the horses, but the guar.I opened fire upon them anI drove them off there by saving the horses. Owing to the small num59r of troops anI the number necessary to guard tho horses, the officers in commanI found that they were unable to disloIso the hos tiles.
 The troops then with Irew to a water hole taking their dead and wounded wijh them.

about Office holders having so much
control over, aud taking so active a

arc rather OVERRIDING the matter aud

vote, and every delegate, nearly six
