This toboggan business is simply one
OF the incfdentsls in an athletic club, Just
like skating, polo playing and snowshoe-
ing. It is not part of the routine of the
athletic club proper, which routine has
closer connection with g manifest pur-
pose TO hit the swinging sparri1g bsg ten
times in a minute, 70 pose on the hori-
zontal bars, to show skill in handling tie
rowing machipes.to lift hesvy dumbbells,
to wrestle without falling aud to do many
other odd things having no remote con-.
nection with the domesticity Of married
life. The athlete may have striking bag

A young man who does not keep up with
the hunt becomes a nobody. If you are
not member OF this or that athletic or
rowing association, or Of the barriers or
q shooting club, you are regarded as
merely haif-civilized, and if you object TO
treading in the path OF civilization you
will find few OF your age to associate with.
Then, il you are member ct one or two
OF the 101 organizations, you speedily
become widely acquainted. Il you
smoke or drink, as 90 per cent. of the
athletes do, your money will fade ike
snow beneath the sun. The membership
Of the several athletic organizations had
been increasing rapidly, and new associ-
atoms are constantly springing up. What
wonder is 1t, then, that the average young
man has ceased to marry? He has
species of madness that causes him to
spend al his money and sometimes to
pass his board bill. Go out on the Coney
Island road at 9 O'Clock of a Sunday
morning and you will find some of these
young men in patent boots, tights and
other athletic trimmings practiclng short
distance running and long distance
walking. They have no money on
which to marry. The sporting craze
carries them along until they be-
gin to look on yourg women with
more or less Of Indifference. Then they
stidk close to their ubrooms play cards
or billisrds, work all day, eat their food
in hurry, wear good clothes and give
their tire nerves q rest for few hours
every night.
THE COST OF 1T ALL.
You must make money to belong TO an
athletic association. Your initiation fee
and your dues count for quite IN item by
themselves, and your car fare and other
mcidentals going to Or coming from the
club or the grounds make hole in your
money during the week. But it is your
outfit, or, as the boys call it, "your rig"
which costs the money. If
you are an oarsman your can obtain
a boat all the way from $50 to. 5000.
1t depends upon what kind of boat you
want. Then there is your rowing suit,
including two caps, two kinds of shoes
and any number of sets OF striped OF dark
stockings. If you are member of IN
athletic club you sre expected to have
among your other accomplishments skill
with the tobaggan. Let Us see what that
simple branch Of athletics Will cost you:

Bodily and mental health depend upon Q healthy condition of the blood. The blood particularly in the spring and summer months, becomes clogged with impurities, which poison it and generate disease. A harmless blood purifier is necessary to restore 6. healthy tone. The best purifier and tonic known is Swift's Specific (S. s. S). Of it's won- derful purifying and tonic powers we give few testimonials: Mir. Wm. A. Siebold, with George P.

INDIAN CLAIMS.

The Commissioner of Indian Affairs is not dead, as is evidenced by the fact that he has just passed upon two claims filed in 1852. That department evidently believes that there IS luck in leisure, and while that is the case, at- taches do not neglect to draw their pay for services rendered the univer- sal Yankee Nation. It is safe to say that if the angel Ot death would not delay laying his icy fingers upon the chief of that department, the West would not mourn his sudden taking of or drop tear for the sudden be- reavement. It Is hope deferred that maketh the heart sick and, for that reason, it is desirable that the funeral should not be unnecessarily delayed, Arizona claims are taking a Van Wrinkle sleep in that department. Claims of citizens of Glla county, proved and filed in that office since 1881, have been pigeon holed for sew en years, and it IS simply a question of time when they will be resurrected, scanned, passed upon and endorsed approved; perhaps, not for another decade, and if further delayed sue ceeding generations may be paid for losses sustained by their forsfathers. The following are soma of the named parties who have lingeringly waited for thespayment of their claims since 1881 and 1882. F. W. Westmeysr $210 95, Patrick Stanley $2,820, Wm. Middleton $4,770, G. K. Church S1 ,170, Hammen 6 Taylor $238, Charles Six by S5,094 50. Jarrct Sizby $5,850, J. R. Nichols $500; Albert and Ed Rose $4,105, James Tewksbury $3.815, Geo. L. Turner S1 ,075, Silas Tidwell S5, ,295, Sultan Brothers $500, John Adams $1,035. s. Gilson has a claim the amount of which we are unable to state. In view of this state of facts it is pertinent to inquire the reason why Arizona has a delegate in Congress, and when there what does his pres ence Tn the Federal city profit his con- stituency? It IS, doubtless, not the fault of our delegate that clalms of Arizonan's like the last rsss of sum- mer are permitted to pine when their lovely companions of citizens of other States and Territories have been re- sponsively answered. If we did not fear being charged with profanity we would suggest the institutional fraud be reformed or relegated to hell or Yuma-whers, as now managed, it properly belongs.

of self-imposed restrictions by candi- dates or incumbents. Through this solemnity only can he be etfectually delivered from his greatest temptation to misuse the power and patronage with which the executive is necesSari- ly charged"
 From this passage Mir. Cleveland evidently took his cue when he wrote his letter of acceptance, i'll winch he says:
 "Of the means to this end, not one would, Ill my opinion, be more efiec- tive than an amendment to the Con stitution disquahfylng the President from reelection. When we consider the patronage of this great office, the allurements of power, the temptation n to rctaIn place once gained, and, more than all, the availability party finds in an incumbent whom a horde of of fice-holders, with zeal born of bene- fits, and fostered by the hope of favors yet to come, stand ready to aid with money and trained political service, we recognize in the eligibility of the President for reelection a most se- rious danger to that calm, deliberate and intelligent political action which must characterize government by the people"
 When Mir. Cleveland's letter of ac- ceptance was published the Democrat ic press throughout the country com- mented favorably upon this portion of the letter as revealing the magnanim- ity, and the sterling character of tue man.

A DEsGRACEFUL RECORD.

Z. l., Tidball, ex- United States Mar, shal of Arizona, now non est, is charged with being a defaulter to the government in the sum of S23,000 One of his sursties was J. H. Toole who, to w1nd up life's ball of yarn, sent pistol ball whizzlng through his braln. Other victims of misplaced confidence are, J. c. Handy, c. R. Drake, J. s. Mansfield, H. Buehman w. c. Dav1s and A. D. Otis. The lat. ter has faded from view in the Terri tory, leaving five to feet the bill, prin, cipal, interest and cost of court, in the event of judgment being obtained against them.
 We remember Tidball in the hey day of official power and dignity, when he developed as second fiddle to Gen. George Crook in thwarting jus tice when a mere intimation from that epauletted gentlemen was sufficient for him to disregard the mandate of the civil power, as Tn the case of In- dian 'Dutchy," who, on the 18th day of July, 1882, murdered Jacob s. Fer rin, on the San Carlos reservation, for the purpose of plunder. The warrant of arrest was issued, upon sworn com plaint of J. W. Evans, by F. w. Gregg, United States Commissioner, District Court, First Judicial District of Ari- zone, and because Crook dsmurred to the execution of the warrant, Tidball telegraphed his deputy, c. T. Duna- van, then at San Carlos where Dutchy was, to withhold service of process. Here is the Munchausen return on the wSFssst.:
 q hereby certify that I have made dihgent search for the within named Dutchy, and have been unable to find him.
 Signed, z. L. TIDBALL,
 U. s. Marshal.
 By c. T. DUNAvAN, Deputy"
 At the September, 1884, term of the U. s. District Court, in Tucson, Dutchy was indicted for the murder of Jacob S. Perrin, and bench warrant issued commanding the arrest of Dutchy, and placed in the hands of the marshal, but that too was never executed.
 We are told that the elder Weller informed his son Samuel that there were "veels within veels," which knowledge Tldball profttedby. When ever a warrant issued and was placed in his hands for the arrest of an In dlan, instead of dolng as commanded by the warrant to do, he notified Crook of the fact and he complaining ly wrote tho Secretary of War that the civil power was stirring up dis cord and rendering it impossible to control the Indians, and thus, invaria- bly, was the civil law condemned. Under the circumstances the loss Ot S23,OOO to the government IS small amount to pay for the mistakes ot the anneintment of an officer who be- trayed his trust.

Further advices from Western On tario report rapid spreading of pleu- ro-pneumonia, which is making great havoc among cattle in that section. The Minister of Agriculture has again been appealed to, and it IS represented that unless the Government takes i'm mediate steps to check it and to con- fine it to its present locality it will have got such hold as to preclude the possibility of wiping it out. The matter has been brought to the attsn- ton of the United States Government, that every measure may be taken to prevent the infection from being car ried across the line.

. Since our last issue Fort Apache. Flagstaff and Prescott have been added to the list of towns in Northern Ari- zona, partially destroyed by fire. At Apache the military quarters and stores with thelr contents were con- sumed. The loss is estimated at near ly $100,OO0. The Flagstaff fire which occurred on the morning of the 2d razed about half the town. The loss is upwards of S10O,0OO and the insur- ance only $3,OOO. A number of poli- cies had been cancelled three days previous. On the same day at Pres colt one of the best business block was destroyed by fire. The flames were checked by blowing up buildings that were doomed, with giant powder. The losses will approximate S50,OO0.

What People Have to Endure in the
Frozen Northwest

MINNEAPOLIS (Minn.), January 26th-
Henry Stonebreaker, who lives in Boards
ley, Minn,, a little village of 100 inhabi-
tants between Morris and Browns Valley.
arrived in the city yesterday with a terri
bic tale OF privation and suffering, by rea-
son of fuel famine.
He says the people there are entirely out
of wood, oil and coal, and exc out a pre-
carious existence by budding together like
flock of sheep and burning twisted wisps
of hay and straw. He blamed the Mani
toba road severely for deserving the people
as it has.
In December the track was clear and or
ders for wood and coal had been sent in,
but, though the cars were sidetracked at
Morris, the officials refused 10 ship any to
Beardsley or Browns Valley, where the
road officials claim not to have engines
enough.
The blizzard came which utterly cut
them off from the rest of the world. The
road is so old and rickety that running a
snow-plow is ont of the question. The
Superintendent of the diEision deceived the
| people by telegraphing that 100 shovelers
were at work clearing tae road, when there
were only twenty-five, and afterwards ten.
The Superintendent kept teleggaphing that
| there was fuel on the way, and in reality
he was not makiag an effort TO reach
Beardsiey. There Eas plenty of provisions
