The 8rakemen's Strike.

There is no peroeptible change in the
brakemen's strike from the situation on
Saturday, except the growing dissatis-
faction among those who are forced to
idleness by it, having no direct personal
interest in the same. Besides the con-
ductOrs, engineers and tiremen, the
workmen in the shops here are sufferers,
as work in the shops has stopped await
ing results. Trains are running east of
here on local business and freights to
this place, but nothing goes west. Ev-
erything about the Sunset yard presents
a Sunday-like appearance, as nothing is
doing except little switching of local
business. Long lines of freight cars are
strung on the side tracks filled with Cali
fOrnia freight. No through freight is
taken east, and already the road has
been injured thousands of dollars, be-
sides the loss of wages to the uninterest-
ed employees, the average loss to con-
duCtors and engineers already amount
ing to about $50 each. Nothing can be
learned as 10 future prospects, General
Superintendent +. G.. Thompson ana
Division Superintendent Van Week are
in Del Rio, and Assistant General Man
ager kIuttschuitt and Chief Clerk Hos
kins are in FL Paso. The strike really
extends from San Antonio to Sander
son, two freight divisions, but there
are some differences with the brakemen
from that point to FL Paso that are be-
ing considered at the same time. TO say
the least the striking brakemen have
very little sympathy from their fellow
railroad employees, some of whom are
denOunOing them in unmeasured terms.

For This Climate.

favors at the hands Of the Adams &
Westlake Manufacturing Company, of
Chicago. They make the "a. & W.

greatest boon that has ever been in
vented for the housekeepers Of the South.

fuel, and it's operation is as easy and re-
suits as satisfactory as from any of the
ordinary iron stoves. II can be run for

Wm. E.. Martin, better known to our readers as Kid Miller, who was tried and convicted at the last term of the District Court at SOcorro, for the killing of Gus tave Fitchell, on the lst of December, 1883, at Las Palomas, Sierra county, New Mexico, made use of the following language. according to a correspondent of the Santa Fe New Mexican, when asked by the Judge if he had anything to say why sentence should not be pass
 ed upon him. 'I have nothing to say, sir, except that when did the decd 1 honestly thought 1 was doing right, but now find did wrong and heartily re- pent.

That, sir" said the boy with aquivering lip as he glanced at his mother, lis all l have to say" Brave words and nobly spoken. The boy Martin lived in St. Johns con siderably over a year, and while here behaved himself quite well, and made many friends. We failed to notice any tralts of vIciousness in him, during that time. And if, as the correspondent says, "those that know the boy best are satisfied that the brave words were not idly spoken" no one, who has any Uf the milk of human kindness" in his composition, but will extend him a helping hand, and assist him in every way possible to live up to his good reso-

Only Half Alive.

There are hosts of men and women who, to coin a phrase, are only half alive. That is to say, they have seldom if ever any appetite, are nervous, weak, fidgetty and troubled by numberless
 small pains and aches. In the presence of vigorous, exuberant vitality they seem mere pigmies. Such persons are usually fond of frequently dosing them
 selves, swallowing III the course of the year enough drugs to stock any apothe- cary's shop of average dimensions. This, Of course, defeats instead of fur thering the end in view, viz, the recov- cry of health and vigor. Were they to seek it from an unfailing source of vii tality, Hosteter's Stomach Bitters, how different would be their case. Then vigor would return to their debilitatad frames, the glow of health to their wan cheeks, their trembling uncertain gait

The contents of the stomachs of the horses, belonging to Mir. Ruiz, which di d recently in the corral in rear of the Monarch Saloon, have been analysed, and the analysis revealed undoubted traces of poison by strychnine. The only question now remaining unsolved is, who is the guilty party. It is sin cerely to be hoped that speedy and righteous retribution will overtake the perpetrator of deed, which in wanton meanness and depravity, stands as a crime without excuse or extenuation.

Eldest son of Mr. and Mrs Ruiz, age about elght years, was accidentally poi soned on the night of May 3d, by sul phate of atrOpia, which had been ad- ministered to him by mistake by his mother. The unfortunate boy has been suffering for the past month with acute pneumonia. followed by some trouble of the heart. Some time recently their youngest son had been given a solution of atropia by Dr. Dalby to be used in the eais S which were affected. Through some unfortunate mistake, their eldest son was administered teaspOonful of this solution, containing atropia enough to kill three or four men, The solution of atropia was similar in color to the medicine their son had been taking dur ing his illness, which was the cause of the terrible mistake. Dr. Dalby was summoned at once to the bedside of the little sufferer and remedial agents at once resorted to. The prompt and skill ful attention of the physician soon placed the patient out of danger. The happy parents are relieved of all anxiety, and with gratitude recognize the efficient services of Dr. Dalby in averting the sad bereavement which so nearly visited their household.

The question of establishing a tele graph or telephone line between Saint Johns and Navajo has been mooted at various times in the community. We would suggest, that if some enterpris- ing citizen could be induced to catch, train and domesticate the animals, it would answer all practical purposes to establish a courier line of Jack rabbits. We are confident these wingless birds would furnish the necessary speed.
