The summer rainy season has be- gun in Central Arizona, although the precipitation here has been very light as yet. Rain has fallen on seven days out of the past eight, but in such mea- gre showers that the total precipita- ten fer that time is enly .55 inches. Around Glohe, in every direction the rainfall, apparently, has been much heavier.

water-soaked pavement.

But the question was not completed.
A fragment of brick from the top of the

out groan he fell to the ground in

and for weeks he lay berefl of sense and
motion. His friend watched faithfully
by his bedside. a consultation of sur

an operation must he performed to re-
lieve the brain from the pressure of a
fractured portion of the skull. This
was done, and the eager watchers were
gladdened by the announcement that
the delicate task had been successfully
accomplished. Grindstone leaned over
the prostrate man and waited breath
lessiy for the first gleam of returning
consciousness. 1t came. With long,
quiveiing breath Kiliordan opened
his eyes, and the first words that
had passed his lips for many day
broke the painful silence of the room.
In quick, distinct voice he said:

He was not disturbed, and going TO

The search was not very long or
difficult. The eyes of the detective
roved about like those of hawk, and
soon lit upon button-the regulation
clew--a small and dirty shirt-button,
but a button all the same; and in
these days of romance and adventure,
il is often, indeed, that life, fortune,

As the detective examined the clew,
a fierce exclamation escaped him, and

above the elbows, fourished a large
sapling in one hand, while she hunted
excitedly under the trees and behind
the stones, wildly gesttculatiDg and
occasionally delivering, In very loud
and high pitched voice, the following
touching appeal:
"Josiah Calvin Baxter Smith, you
young skeesics, come here to me this

He heard, but his fine lip curled as
he arose, took huge quid of tobacco
from his jaws, and carefully plastered d
it over the mouth of the craven figure
on the monument, while he muttered
in scornful tones:
"Yes, hear, Mariar Jane, and if you
can trail the Lightning Detective to
his lair before he finishes this novel,
you're welcome to apply your bludgin,
to the pants of his breeches." And he
resumed his reading.
Suddenly, however, howl, or rather
shrek, rent the air, so dismal and
unearthly that he sprang to his feet
and turned to fly, with a vague idea
that the spirits of the dead were charg-
ing down upon him for the purpose OF
driving lqN from out their territory.
But. turning to look back, he discov-
cred the cause of the strange noise.
The exploring party had made a
rather sudden turn, to look behind a
monument of unusual size, when her
toe caught, and, with an awful shrek,
she fell. And great was the fall there
of. The stick was twisted out of hel
hand and lodged in the top of one OF
the evergreens.

A Lucky Haul.


Learning few days ago that lottery
lightning had struck Marlin to the tune OF

and Matt. Walker were the lucky individ-
uals, Ball representative proceeded to
ascertain the thruthfslness of the matter.
We met Mr.. j. e. johnson in town last
Saturday. There was nothing unsual in
his countenance or demeanor, and he did
not hesitate to state the facts. Mr.. John
SON is young man engaged in the serv-
Toe of Mr.. Walker on his ranches; for two
years he has been investing small sum
in the Louisiana State Lottery, but the
tickle goddess did not smile
upon him till last month. On
Saturday before the drawing Mr.. Johnson
and Mr.. Walker put up $25 each aud pur-
chased 80 fractional tickets. The money
was sent by Wells Fargo Express and
reached its destination promptly before
the drawing, in due time the tickets were
received, and on examination it was found
shat they held one-twentieth of ticket No.
400, which drew the second capital
prize of 100000. The ticket was placed
in the Bank of Marlin for collection, and
was promptly Dashed on presentation, Mr..
Johnson receiving $4,000 and Mr.. Walker
$4,000. Mr.. Johnson says he proposes to
continue investing small amount every
month. Mr.. Walker has been twice lucky,

A Public Benefa ctor.

"Who is q. 81. Warner, of Rochester, N.
Y, whose Safe remedies, especially War
ner's Safe Cure, have attained such sue
cess and celebrity at home and abroad?"
The question is inspired as much by
affection as curiosity, since through his
instrumentelity hundreds of thousands, in
both hemispheres, have been restored to
health and, happiness.
Hon. II. H. Warner, then, is leading
and honored resident of Rochester, not
only, but prominent and influential oitl-
zen of the United States. On several oc-
delegate TO nominate president of the
republic, he has been member of the
republican state committee and of its ex-
ecutive committee. He is a member of
the American institution for the Advance
ment of Science; president of the Roches-
ter chamber of commerce; successful
and upright business man. He has given
away fortunes in charities. The celebrated
and costly Warner observatory of Roches'
ter was conceived, endowed, and is main
tanned by him. His muniicent prizes for
the discovery Of comets has been at once
the wonder and delight of the scientific
world.
The yellow fever scourge in the south,
the Ohio floods, the fire disasters of
Rochester and other cities awakened his
profoundest sympathies, and in each
instance his check for from $500 to $4,000
swelled the several relief funds. Where
other wealthy men give tens and hundreds
he gives hundreds and thousands.
His charities are as ready and magnif-
cent as his enterprises and public spirit
are boundless.
The world has need of more such men.
An incident led him into the manu-
facture of medicine. Seized some twelve
years ago with what the abiest physicians
termed fatal kidney disease, he was
miraculously restored to health by what is
now known as Warmers Safe Cure. At
once he resolved to make known the
merits of so potent remedy, and the con-
sequence is that to-day he has immense
laboratories and warehouses in the United
States, Canada, England, Germany,
Austria, Australia and Burmah. Sales OF
his Safe Remedies are enormous and their
power over disease simply marvellous.
The merit of production is in exact
keeping with the character of its producer.
An honest and reliable man himself, Mr..
Warner makes honest and reliable medi-
eines-s fact abundantly attested by their
phenomenal efficacy and popularity.

Austin, Tex, March 20, 1889"
After the reading of the above, Mr.. Wool
bridge suggested that there being two
physicians present doctors Daniel and
Bragg they might add some remarks that
were pertinent.
Doctor Daniel then made a short ad
sress, setting forth the Importance of hav-
ing some reliable system of sewerage and
the benefits to be derived therefrom, par
ticularly when it could be SO advantageous
as q part of the health resort write-ups
and advertisements of the city.
Doctor Bragg, on the other hand, while
admitting the benefits to be derived,
thought that with the natural surface
drainage that we have the money could be
more benifcislly used in paving and i'm
proving the thorougfares, and with Aus
tins average death rate of only sixteen to
the thousand, there was no crying neces-
sity for the expenditure of money in this
way.
Mr.. John Mcdonald suggested that
the lime soil on which Austin was
built was in itself q disinfeotant and there
was no necessity for additional sewerage.
Mr.. Geo. A. Brush sent up the follow
ing resolution:
of Austin has now in contemplation a
publication setting forth the advantages,
both natural and artificial, of the CITY of
Austin as home; and,
Whereas, In addition to the many i'm
provements now existing which go toward
making up a city, perfect system of
sewers under municipal control is greatly
to be desired and should be given especial
prominence in such publication; and,
Whereas, 1t has been ascertained, as
we'll from the statement of the owner of
the present system as from the estimates
of competent and disinterested engineer,
that said system may be purchased by the
city and perfected SO as to meet all present
demands for sum not greater, if not LEES,
than the estimated cost of a new system;
therefore, be it
Resolved, By the board of trade of the
city of Austin, that the president appoint
committee of three members of this
body, whose duty it shall be to wait upon
the city council of the city of Austin at
its next regular meeting, to present to the
council the communication on the subject
of sewers just received by this body from
the medical faculty of Austin and to then
urge immediate action on the part of the
council looking to the speedy acquisition
by the city of perfect sewer system.
Mr.. Woodbridge seconded the above, but
upon Mr.. McDOnald's assertion that IN
der the present city charter, the author
tiles could not compel people along the
line Of the sewer to make connection with
it, Mr.. Woodbridge offered as a substitute,
that committee Of three be appointed
