Ell PAso. March Sth.-The two men who
robbed the Southern Pacific tran al STEMS
Pass in February, will be ca ii soon, very
probable near chihuahua City, for which
place they are heading. After committing
the robbery, the outlaws started, as was
predicted by your correspondent on the 23d

boundary line and up the Animas Valley
between the Pelono lilo and Animas
ranges to Janos, near the old Apache
stronghold of Geronimo. and from there
up the Casa Grande and Santa Maria rivers
toward chihuahua
From the latter city a strong posse has
started to intercept them, while two
separate Mexican parties are in hot pursuit
from North After. They have such an
accurate description of the robbers that
they cannot fail to trail them.
The two robbers are well known at

NoGALEs March Sth.-The Mexican Gus
toms guard, Porferio Polo, who was shot
and stabbed few nights ago while on duty,
confesses to having done the shooting and
cutting himself. 1t was first reported that
it was done by robbers. He did it to make
himself solid with the Commandant. and
to make it appear that he was terror -
to robbers. He says the reported attempt
to rob the Custom-house some days ago
was similar scheme of his own concoct-
ing. The last time he stabbed himself
deeper than he intended, and came near
killing himself. He shot himself in the
thigh accidentally while trying TO get his
pistol out 10 fire in the air.
Polo has been arrested and will be tried
by the Mexican authorities on a charge of
attempting his own life.

Who is Your Rest Fr,erdo .

Your stomach, of course. Why? Be-
cause if it is out of order YOU are one of
the most miserable creatures living. Give
it a fair, honorable chance, and see if it is
not the best friend you have in the end.
Don't smoke IN the morning. Don't drink
in the morning. If you must smoke and
drink, wait until your stomach is through
with breakfast. You can drink more and
smoke more in the evening, and it will tell
on you less. If your food ferments and
does not digest right; if you are troubled
with heartburn, dizziness of the head,
coming up of the food after eating, bilious
ness, indigestion or any other trouble of
the stomach, you had best use Green's Au-
gust Flower, as no person can use it with
out immediate relief.

WHERE THE MUsTACHE

important to keep a stout spinal column,
for there the burdens fall on the physical
man. Nature is never at fault, and where
such stress comes she provides supports.
1t is the fault of the individual who,
through negligence, exposure or impru.
dence, brings on collapse of these sup.
ports Every one knows how the stitch in
the back comes, but every one doesn't know
the promptest and surest way to catch it up
and cure it permanently. The experiments
of those who know the secret are worth
recording. Mr.. Frank Monroe, Francisville,
H., January 80, 1884, says: "Three yeara

back. She tried St Jacobs OIL four bot
ties cured her, and she has had no trouble in
six or seven years" Mr.. Horace E. Hop
kins, New Albany, Indiana, writes, June
10, 1887: Suffered two years ago with
acute pains in the back also slight touch
Of pleurisy. In one hour obtained great
relief from st. Jacobs Oil; three appliea-
lions cured me. In the morning pains were
gone, and have had no recurrence of it
since" May II, 1887, Mr.. A. A. Cunning
ham, Perryopolis, Pa, writes: My wife
was sorely afflicted with lame back; suf-
fered several years. She used innumerable
liniments and plasters without relief; used
st. Jacobs Oil, and she was cured by it, and
would not keep house without it," The
maxim ought to be, keep a straight, strong
back, and the rest of the anatomy will be
strong also.

The fight is booked for Friday afternoon
or Saturday morning.

were captained by Baldock and Jack Rob
erts. roughs of some sparring celebrity in

Phillips is in France with Sullivan. Ash
ton and Hoske have, however, taken steps
to Illustrate any intention Of foul play.
Chlpper Norton, at whose Windsor Hotel
Sullivan trained, is a warm admirer of the
Boston champion, but owing TO the alarm
ing illness of his wife had been compelled
to renounce all intention of being present
at the fight Hearing almost to certainty
that strong attempt would be made to
steal the fight from Sullivan, he determine
to leave London last right with twenty
men good and true, for the purpose of see
ing Sullivan through.
Su!livan's friends in America have no
cause To be anxious as to the result of the
coming fistic encounter.
Just before he set out for France, stock
broker Angel, who is to be referee, heard
rumors as to the transportation OF Mitch
ellis roughs. He says in the most emphatic
manner possible that if they appeared at
the ring side he would postpone the match
and call ii at another place, and that if they
made any demonstration of violence he
would Immediately award the match to
Sullivan.

feated it was not the ticket now up that
he cared for, but he objected to this
succession of frauds; the perpetuation
OF these bosses in power, who had called
the primaries and fixed up the tickets
they had carried them by fraud and any
other means in their power. He thought
the time had come for the permanent or

point af six gentlemen from each ward of

committee be charged with the duty
of selecting candidates to be voted for
by the supporters of this movement at the
coming election, and that they be invested
with discretion to make that ticket ex-
clusively of Republicans. or if they think
it more for the benefit of the cause which
we are trying to help forward that they
make up mixed ticket of Republicans
and Democrats, that may be supported by
the citizens at large in the interest OF good
government" [Applause.l
