Bloody Tonto Basin.

Late advices confirm the recent lynching, and also that about the same time the Neglin brothers met the same fate.
 The latter were large stock men and have been in that country only year or two. They came from Colorado. are Germans by birth, and before set ting in Tonto Basin were considered hard-working, upright citizens, and we doubt if any one can truthfully say that they know the Neglin Bros. to be dishonest. They invested largely in stock. Shortly after their arrival it is stated that one of the brothers took Andy Cooper's horses on shares, and this at once caused suspicious watch to be set on him.
 Shortly after the robbery of the store in Tonto Basin, goods stolen at that time were found in the house of Jeff Wilson, which connected him with the rustlers. Whether J. W. Scott was a horse thief or not, 1t Is stated to be fact that his ranch was the head quarters of men known to be thieves, and that he acted as a go-between. It is also claimed that the men who rob bed the store, above mentioned, went to Scott's ranch immediately after committing the crime, and that Scott went to Holbrook and purchased a saddle for one of them.
 On good information we state that the band of regulators in the Basin number eighty six and are sworn to secrecy. The leading men of that part of Yayapal county, it Is said, are the prime movers, and intend to clean out that part of the country, so we are informed.
 Supected parties will be notified to leave, and if the warning goes unheed I ed, then comes the Regulators hideoui carnival-the dangle of death.
 McRsney who was ordered out o the Basin about the time of the lynch ing received notification in the follow ing manner: The top of matchbox on which was inscribed, in charcoal the ominous work GO was placed in the window of his cabin the hint was sui ficient. There was nothing agalns McRaney and the only reason for this action was that the Regulators dit not wish any one who was not in theil band to witness the horrible worl they intended to perform.
 James D. Houck occupies mos unenviable position, and stands il danger of losing his life from two O three directions His friends have ad vised him to "pull.'
 Citizens in the war district clain that they have been harassed by tn raids of thieves to such an extent tha patience has ceased to be virtue.
 It is to be hoped that no innocen man has been or will be molested Lynch law cannot be countenanced and in almost all cases leads to bad re sults.-Apache Review.

Knoxville Mining District.

Knoxville mining district is situated about 34 miles north of Texas Hill in this county, and is both quartz and placer camp. In 1885 there was a great excitement in the placers o. that camp, and although not as rich as at first supposed have proven very profitable It was not a great while after the discovery of the placers that a number Of quartz lodges were located The mines on which the most work has been done are the "Black Dia- mond," Northern Belle" and Grows Nest" The Black Diamond shows 6 strong vein of $30 rock, four feet wide and as the shaft gets deeper the ore seems to be gradually widening. The Northern Belle and Crows Nest are both good mines and the indications are promising for big strike of rich ore at an early day. The ore is free milling gold quartz, and the ledges can be traced for several miles; they run from the northwest to southeast. Messrs. H. Hartman, Joseph Bray and M Engasser are the owners of the above claims. Mir. Hartman inform ed the writer that he would put more men on the work next month. The chances are good that Knoxville dis trict will prove lively and prosper ous camp this winter.-Yuma Senti- mel.

Pilotin. Vessels by Sound.

Steamers are constantly running among the islands on the coast of Maine during the summer. This is the season of thick and persistent fog. When pilots can hardly see the length of their vessels they keep up constant noise with their fog signals. The open sea gives back no sound. But the near or remote vicinity of cliffs, bluffs. or even high shores, is in dicated by the strength of the echo re- ceived back from them. In fact, running by echo is recognized as one of the neces- sities of the navigation of those waters.
 This method is also used to some ex- tent by steamers on the great rivers. And 1t is practiced on the great lakes to some extent, notably at certain bluff jutting out into Lake Superior. Passing steam CTS, knowing themselves to be in the vicinity, when befogged, feel out these bluffs by sounding their fog signals until they get back an echo; then they use the bluffs as new point of departure.-New York Star

The Olive As Wholesome Food.

Retail grocers who have been long in the business and have operated un der favorable circumstances, have stated to the writer that they have noticed an increasing demand for the finer varieties of goods, for more lux uries in fact To handle these finer goods, and be assured a sale for them, is the goal a retail grocer should strive to attain. A great many of such goods, while they seem at first blush to come under the head of luxuries, need not be so regarded, and if their values were properly understood would find more general use The olive is an ex- cellent example of this, and we can not better develop this idea than by quoting an article from August" Table Talk"
 "The olive has important qualities to recommend its use for the table qualities which should certainly se- cure for it there more general friend Eness than 1t now possesses. One block-and we presume the only one in the way, is that to which we have already referred, namely, that its taste is, at first, disagreeable to many peo- pie; but the palate soon gets over the squeamishness and in a little time and with very little practice learns to take them with intense relish.
 "But, laying aside their palatable- ness, there is another consideration which has, or ought to have, too strong claim upon our gastronomic affec- tions to be ignored. Iailude to their wholesomeness in spurring the diges- tive machinery whenever 1t is inclined to be anywise sluggish. Therefore, let me say to the dyspeptic that if his taste does not now flourish for the olive, he should lose no time in culti- vating 1t until it does; for he will find hidden there not only an amount oi deiciousness he little dreams of, but also more repairing and lubricatine material for his weakened inner man than III all the pills and medicinal draughts that were ever invented fol the stomach to concoct.
 ''I would also state for his edifica- ton, that, in the south of Europe where the olive is extensively used al an article of food, indigestion i scarcely ever heard of. In fact, SC little known that the work itself has no compreht nsible meaning. He must take this, how e ,er, as heresay evidence for I speak it not of my own knowl edge. Still, from personal experience of the wholesomeness of the olive, l am prepared and willing to believe myself, and 1t can work no serious in jury for the dyspeptic to do likewise.
 The writer might properly have lait stress on the value of olive oil as al aid to digestion. It should be nor, generally used. In the cities and larg, towns of our country moderate quanti : ties are sold, but in smaller places it. use is rarity.-Chicago Grocer.

 The position of minister to the United States is in Japan considered, next to the ambassadorship to the Chinese court, the highest in the gift of the mikado Even the great foreign powers are subservient to the United States in this respect, and Japan is more closely allied with the United States than with any other country on the globe Nearly all of the recent i'm provements in Japan have been imported from this country, among which are the postal system, the railroad and telegraph systems, etc.
 The Japanese legation at Washington takes considerable part in Washington society, and there are few notable recep- tions at which the almond eyes and i'm movable faces of some of the nattily at tired attaches are not to be seen.

 The headquarters of the Japanese le- gation at Washington are very splen- didly furnished Nearly everything in the house was made in Japan. Unique vases, s and 10 feet high, heavily inlaid with gold, are distributed about the rooms and the mantels are covered with many beautiful specimens of the fine ivory cary ing of the ingenious Japanese. From the walls hang some fine, though rather odd Japanese paintings, which, unlike those of China, make some attempt at perspec tive, and the whole house is fragrant with subtle perfume brought from th' land of the mikado.

Effects of Forests on Rainfall.

In Prussia so wanton and reckless | has been the destruction of the forests of late years, despite the forestry laws, that the government has issued de- cree which Is designed to protect tim Der throughout the country. In re- cent years this wholesale felling of large forests has completely changed the climate in many districts, render ing the country barren and rainless, and furthermore, by removing the trees from the banks of lakes and rivers the sand has been loosened and thus many harbOrs and water-courses have been made shallow.-Mexican Financier.
 It is admitted by those who give special attention to the subject that forests possess marked influence upon the rainfall, the condition of water courses and climatic features of re- giOns in which they exist. Portions of Spain, now arid, were, previous to the obliteration of their forests, fertile and renowned for their productiyeness.
 Geologists say that the great south west, in which Fl Paso is situated, in the dim past was covered with a lux uriant growth of timber; and the Az tees, at the time of the invasion of Cibello by Coronado and his armored followers, possessed a tradition that when their forefathers, in their journey | from the north, entered the country now known as New Mexico (and West ern Texas), the mesa and the valleys were covered with forests of decidious | xr-lI oh in cone-bearing giants, and that from every hill and range springs of cool sprkling water gushed forth and de scended in cascades from the mount aims Hanks into the plain below and flowing through verdure and blossoms entered lakes and lagoons bordered with willows and cane.
 We are not welded to traditionary lore but in all questions involving the past 1t possesses a certain bearing which must not be disdained, and, in numerous instances, is the foundation upon which is built the hypothesis of the ancient and modern historian, and from what we know of current and contemporaneous history, is oftentimeS as respectable and authentic.
 There are many reasons why the Az tee legend should be true, and it would be difficult task to prove it otherwise The causes that lead to the aridity O more than one section of the old worlC no doubt produced its effects on thi' hemisphere as well, and if deserts re suited in Europe by the destruction O forests, fertility can be encouraged or

 The American, Dr. Thomas w. Evans, who has lately sprung into renewed prominence through his important ser vices rendered at the bedside of dying Kaiser Frederick as the colleague of Dr. Mackenzie, is a native of Philadelphia and scion of one of her most respected families. x*x
 Like all celebrities, he has been more or less constantly written about. and from the distance which separates him from American shores, consistently misrepre sented- His grand nephew. MT. Frank C. Higgins. of New York, who has collected authentic material concerning the doctor, furnishes the following interesting de tails:
 ..Dr. Thomas William Evans was born about 1923 in the Quaker City. His father was Mai William NJ Evans, a distin- guished soldier of the war of 1872, and his mother a member of the Wiltburger family, which was of Dutch descent and highly esteemed in Pennsylvanian annals Of his school days little need be said fur ther than that he received a good, prac- tical education, such as it was the custom to give boys in his time. Early, in direct opposition to the wishes of his father who desired him to fit himself for a pro fessional career dentistry not then being SO highly eSteemed), he set about inter esting himself in mechanical matters, es- pecially such as related to the refining and working of precious metals For a short period he was actively employed in the workshop of silversmith, where he obtained his first notions of the various metal foils and appliances used in dental surgery. His natural taste soon asserted itself, and he readily accepted an invita- ton to study in the office of Dr. John D White, with whom he remained some time, during the same period enjoying a course of instruction at the Jefferson Medical college. While at, Dr. Whites he first demonstrated that inherent ability which has since brought him to the front rank in his profession. At IS years of age he was awarded a special medal by the | Franklin institute, of Philadelphia. for the artistic filling of teeth with gold foil, tracted for exhibition.

eign in behalf of the miserable creatures whom bullet and shell had put hors de combat. During all this memorable cam paign he personally directed the move ments of the ambulance corps of the Red Cross society which he had founded. and made long and tedious journeys in search of funds and materials to aid in carrying on the work of mercy among the wounded and captive.
 His last great service to the i'll fated imperial family of France was, as is well known, the secret conveyance of the em- press beyond the walls of besieged Paris and on to English soil This gallant ad- venture, which has often been recounted. served as the inspiration of one of the principal canvases at the Salon of 64, that of 'tLe Depart Incognito, by Henri Dupray.
 Since the death of the emperor he has been living in quiet retirement in Paris, attending to his practice and occasionally journeying into distant countries when called by the behests of royal patients,
 He is an active or honorary member of almost every benevolent association in Europe and the United States and his beautiful villa at the intersection of the Boulevard du Bois de Boulogne and Avenue Malakoff is the scene of frequent fetes and entertainments to distinguished Americans.
 His last visit to this country was to the Centennial Exposition of 1878. It is not generally known that in addition to his attaining the highest rank in the Legion d'Honneur and his decoration with the principal European and Oriental insignia of knighthood, he was elevated by Ma poleon III to the French peerage, and given title which with true American simplicity and dignity he has never borne,
 It is stated that Dr. Evans proposes to found in America school for boys some what like the famous English schools st Rugby and Eton.
