Sparkling and Pure.

One OF the principal requirements OF a
consSmer OF beer is that the beer he drinks
shall be rparkfing and pure. This he finds
pre.eminently in the beer made by the far.
famed Anheuser Busch Brewing company.
The capital invested in their plant by this
company is the largest OF any in the
United States, they have an army of EN-.
ployes engaged in the manufacture, the
best procurable materials are employed in
the manufacture and the most skilled
workmen s~uperintend the product through
all its processes. The result is q quality OF
beer that will stand expectation to all
parts of the civilized world and that ia
drunk with satisfaction and pleasure by
beer-drinkers everywhere. Especial care ia
taken with that manufactured for con-
sumption in the West, and the universal
testimony OF all acquainted with the
Anheuser- Busch beer is that no better
article Of it's kind is placed on this or any
other market. 1t contains all the nutritive
qualities that make beer the national
drink in this and other countries, and as
no deleterious substance is allowed to enter
into its manufacture, consumers can with
confidence use it, certain that it is free
from the pernicious substances employed
by many manufacturers of beer to produce
the same effect as the pure materials en-
ployed in the brewing of the Anheuser-
Busch beer. The best evidence of these
statements il the worldwide popularity
enjoyed by the Anheuser-B Busch beer, q
popularity that has extended over many
years and still keeps it in the lead against
all competitors.

What Killed the Copper Syndicate.

The error of the syndicate was in making
the prize of copper too high. Had the gen.
erdl selling price OF lake copper been put at
IL cents, the syndicate basis 10 or11 cents,
and other brands in proportion, the syndi.
cate, though in that event unnecessary
would still be in existence, and the violent
and Injurious fluctuations we are now hay
ing or are likely to have in the price OF the
metal, would have been avaided. The out.
come OF this wild attempt at cornering the
copper of the world has been the utt-r
bankruptcy OF the Societe des Metaux, the
most important copper-manufacturing
concern On the continent; and of the Comp.
toIr d'Escompte, the second largest bank.

less serious embarrassment of several lesser

It is said that at first the Frenchmen did
not show much inclination to attend the

Bank Of France peoplein particular, seemed
to consider it mira dig to comply with the
request OF the American committee for a
conference. At last a number OF meetings
were held, and finally MIR. Haggin rather
astonished and startled the Parisians by
the following plain and characteristic
speech. He said:

Another Diamond Story.

From the "Husbandman:' We learn
from Almon Spencer, who has recently been
on a visit to Canyon Ferry, that the old
time miners OF that section, are very much
excited over the development of commerc
ial value of the gems found in the placer
mines in that vicinity. These stones were
found in great profusion in early days, but
were pronounced of little value, But it
seems to have developed lately that they
are very fine saphires and mining has been
recently commenced at French bar for
bthese stones alone, and experts are on the
ground purchasing them as rapidly as they
are procured. One stone has sold as high
las $3.50, and q number have brought near
~. one hundred dollars. The industry is
thus far highly remnnerative and promises
to develop into something grand for this
section of the country, a North American
diamond field.

"They are more honest, industrious and

"Are they well fed?" inquired the re

years ago.
"They are. We distribute meat, from

ARRESTED FOR MURDER.
A Crime Committed in New Mexico.-Th
Escape and Capture.


Childers, Texas, May az special says:
Harry CHM and CD. Watson, alias Bar
low Watson, were arrested at Matadore's
ranch, Friday evening, for the murder OF
G. W. Richardson, superintendent of the
San Pedro Coal and Coke Co., at Carthage,
N. NJ, by c. A. Robinson, sheriff OF Soeorro
county, N. M.
The murder was committed on May Is
at 8 p. m. It was pay day at the mines
and Richardson and his clerk, George Arm
old, were in the office door, when the rob-
bers came 10. One Of them drew a revolver
on the clerk and told him to hold up his
hands. Richardson was standing in the
door that led into another room and
stepped back to get his shotgun and
turned around to defend the clerk. when
one OF the men stepped in at another door
and shor Richardson ia the back, the ball
passing through his heart, killing him in
stantly. One guarded the clerk while the
other robbed the office OF So, 400.
By this time a crowd had surrounded the
building and the robbers mounting their
horses made through the assembled miners
amid a shower OF bullets, one of which
killed one OF their horses, compelling both
robbers to make their escape on one horse.
The murderers were trailed about eighty
m.aes on their way to the pan handle OF
Texas. On their way over the mountain
they dropped an envelope containing $45
and buried a bag containing $500 in silver,
which was found by the officers.
The officers came to Childers Wednesday
morning and started out to the Matadore
ranch Thursday noon, and arrested the
prisoners on Friday night. The murderers
were popular among the cowboys. They
threatened to release the prisoners, and
for a while it looked as if the officers would
have to fight for their prisoners. After an
explanation OF everything the prisoners
were brought to this place and put in Jail
for keeping. Harry CHM had $3.50 on
his person when arrested and Watson $500
making in all $4,000. The prisoners
claimed they got the money playing monte
in Arizona and also stated that they Vol
a lot of horses, but that Mexicans took the
horses away from them.
