When editors of newspapers al low their personal vindictiveness and bitter partisan procliyities to get the better of them to the extent that they resort to indecent language, then we think the time has arrived to show such writers that this course IS anything but gentlemanly and professional. The profession is a noble one, and any member that forgets himself so far as to place in the hands of a family, reading matter which the young and innocent may not read without detriment if not with ben eft, is unworthy the honor of his high and noble calling, and the sooner he is unloaded the better for us.-Our Bazoo, Nesdles, Cali fornia.

The authorship of the dramatic productions attributed to the last of the above named is agitating literary circles to the very centre, but affects the practical masses far less than the momentous question how to regaIn or preserve health, that essential of bodily and men tai activity, business success and the pursuit of happiness" We can throw far more light on this latter subject than the most pro found Shakesperian can on the question first propounded. If the system is depleted, the nerves shaky; if indigestion or constipa- ton bothers one at times, or con staEtly; if the skin IS yellow and tongue furred as in billiousness; <; if there are premonitory twinges of oncoming neuralgia or rheu- matism; if the kidneys are inac- tive-use Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters, the finest recuperant of an age prolific in beneficial and suc- cessful remedies.

Matters at Silver Basin have a most encouraging aspect at the present time. Work is being steadily pushed on the Comstock and Silver Twig claims, and with better results as development pro gresses. There have been already shipped from these two claims over 50 tons of ore which has av- eraged $50 to the ton, and within the next two weeks 30 tons more will be forwarded to Fl Paso for reduction, and the shipment will surpass largely in value any pre- vious one. Fifteen tons of this ore is confidently expected to av- craze fully 200 ounces to the ton, and the other fifteen tons will aver age fully 125. The lodges are looking finely. On the Silver Twig fine breast of very high grade ore has just been struck, while the Comstock IS improving all the time in the width and value of the veln.

 To-day T. c. Vandevere, chief of the Navajo. Indian police, brought into Gallup Nj che, the murderer of Benjamin Swift, one of the party of prospectors who have been hunting the lost Adams mine, Niche was captured by the Indian police and confessed the crime. His story is that Swift, in company with two Nav ajo boys, had gone into camp one evening, when he and another Navajo boy came up to their camp and asked for something to eat. Swift gave him some supper and went out to picket his horses, when Nl-che cut stout club and laid 1t under the edge of his blank ct. On Swift's return he was standing leaning over the fire when the Indian dealt him a pow erful blow. Swift attempted to draw his revolver, when the second blow was dealt, and Swift stag gered and fell to the ground. The Indian and boys stayed around the fire some time, Swift in the meantime grooming in great agony. Niche finally shot him through the body and afterwards made the boys help to hide the body in a deserted hogan, covering it with leaves and dirt. Two days after wards he returned and shot both of Swift's horses. Niche was ta- ken to Fort Wingate, where he will be held in close custody until the next term of court.

Harry Simpson, while at Dun can last Thursday, made an unfor tunate coupling. He managed to get the third and fourth fingers of his right hand caught between the coupling pin and bumper, with the result that they were so badly mashed that he had to suffer their amputation by Dr. Simpson at Lordsburg. He lost his little fin ger close up to the last joint and his third member just above the second joint. Harry stood the amputation without the use of an anesthetic and never murmured. The only consolation Mir. Simp- son can derive from the unfortu- nate occurrence lies in the fact that he is left-handed.

 The St. Louis Globe Democrat recently published the following account of a novel wager made in Washington to which our Mark was a party: "In Washington an odd bet was made last week which takes the lead. Mir. Ira Godfrey is good man who runs a steam laundry and votes the Republican ticket. Delegate Smith of Arlzo- na is Democrat, but otherwise a good man too. Mir. Smith has his shirts washed at Mir. Godfrey's. To-day, Mir. Smith, after admiring the cleanliness of the shirt, just from Mir. Godfrey's laundry, re- marked that cleanliness was next to godliness. Iir. Godfrey agreed and, very appropriately, said that Mir Harrison would be our next president. Mir. Smith said nay, and finally bet. Mr. Godfrey had already put up all his money, so had Mir. Smith. Then they agreed to bet on Mir. Smiths prospective wash bill for the year 1889. If Mir. Cleveland is elected Mir. God frey loses, and he pledges himself to wash Mir. Smiths shirts and other incidental laundry for noth- ing. If Mir. Harrison wins then Mr. Smith loses. and he pledges himself to pay Mir. Godfrey every week just double the amount of his wash bill. It is good bet. If MT. Smith wins he can revel in clean shirts; if he loses he can regulate the cost of his loss every week.
