A Noted Indian Hunter.

The Apache scout and Indian tighter, Al Sieber, was in town Sun day, his errand being to turn in to the penitentiary a prisoner from Gila county.
 Itis safe to say that there are few people on the southwestern frontier who do not know Al Sieber either personally or by reputation. His life is part of the history of Arizona. For over twenty years he has been actively connected with the Government service in the Apache country. Every time the red devils have left the reservation Sieber has helped to round them up over painless mountain and des- ert, the horrors of thirst and star vation added to those of scalping- knife and rifle. He can hardly re- call even the number of times he has been shot and wounded. The bare outline of his life would make more thrilling reading than any book ever written.
 In spite of advancing years and the life he has led Sieber is still a man of powerful frame and endur- ance. Like all men who have real ly done something, he is free from braggadocia and is not at all in- clined to speak of himself or even refer to the stirring scenes he has been through. In answer to a re- quest for the story of his life he only smiled and said it would take too long,
 In reply to questions on the Governments Indian policy. the famous scout expressed himself cautiously, his position debarring him from making criticisms. He thinks, however, that the frequent change of Indian Agents in the past has had much to do with outbreaks and trouble. The Apaches now number between 5000 and GOOD. He thinks an attempt to remove them East would cause one-half of the tribe to take to the hills. The attempts to make them self-sustain- ing have not been altogether suc- cessful, of $150,000, worth of cattle furnished to the Indians by the Government they cannot show more than one-tenth of that amount now. Whenever they want fresh meat they are quite as apt to kill heifer or a COW instead of steer j; mavericks run off the reservation and are taken by settlers. Taken as a whole, the Indian question will re- quire careful handling by men of experience for many years before it is satisfactorily settled. - Yuma Times.

People iii other parts ot the Ter ritory having legal or other county seat business in Apache county are pleased at the victory of Holbrook in the contest for the county seat. It will be much better for Apache county to have her capital town on a railroad with excellent mail and telegraph communication.-Repub- lican.
 The above is just about as near correct as the Republican has ever been able to get anything in regard to Apache county. The people have said through the ballot-box they did not want the county seat re- moved from St. Johns. The Repub- lican should employ a news gath erer in this county who would tell the truth occasionally, and get rid of one who is incapable of doing it.

A BEAUTY AT THE LATHE.

Miss Nellie Paterson, one of the pref
tiest girls in the village of Mount Car
mel, Conn, has just completed four
years. apprenticeship to the machinist
trade. She is now working at her lathe
and wise in the factory of the Mount Car
mel Belt Company, and there isn't me-
chanic in the whole shop who can do a
better Job or in less time than the fair
Young workwoman. Four years ago,
when Miss Nellie began to think of the
means whereby she must earn her living,
she looked over the whole field of woman's
work. Among the trades or occupations
which the pushing women of this country
had made their own, there was none she
especially liked. She was a bright girl,
with great deal Of Yankee cleverness,
and considerable ingenuity and inventive
ness. The remark was made by friend
that she was so fond of inventions she
ought to become machinist. The seed
thus idly sown took root, and she ap-
piled for place as apprentice. For the
past four years she worked faithfully, and
a few DAYS ago her time expired, and she
is now a full-tlcdgcd machinist. She is
able to block up piece of work on the
planer or turn up an arbor on the lathe.
She uses the drill or handles file, as we'll
as any man in the shop. Her specially,
however, is tool making, and to this she
PROPOSES to devote herself. She can also
draw plans, figure out dimensions, and
from the working drawings she can make
anything. She is not afraid of the grease
and CRIME of the shop, and her beauty is
not in the least marred by long swipc
of dirt across her dimpled check, nor a
spot of oil on her nose. Her hands are
not as white as those of some of her SIS
ters, but they are by no means large,
though they are strong. She is great
favorite with her fellow workmen, and Is

TONS OF FLYING ROCK.
Three Laborers Killed and Several
Fatally Injured.

An accident has occurred five miles east OF
Shamokin, Penn, by which three men were
killed, three fatally and many others seriously
injured. The men were engaged i'll enlarging
a cut through the mountains to enable the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company
TO lay double track. They were foreigners
and known only by numbers In the morning
three blasts were set, but, unknown to the
men, only two of the charges exploded. The
men returned to the cut and began removing
the shattered rock, when terrible explosion
followed
When the great cloud of dust cleared away
men came from the debris in all directions,
shrieking in their agony, some with their
eyes out others with heads laid open to the
skull, while others could be seen beneath the
rocks covered with blood. The men who
were uninjured did not wait to succor their
wounded companions, but ran in a per.
feet panic to the boarding-shanty a
few rods distant. Thomas O'Neil, cart
man, was the first to return to the scene Of
the disaster. John Gordon, the pit foreman,
had the back of his head almost torn off and
is internally injured. Three Of the laborers
are missing and four horribly injured and
beyond recovery. ,
The 1890 train on the Northern Central
road took almost the entire medical force OF
the town to the scene. Meanwhile large
gang of men work: d away at twenty tons of
debris to gather the men supposed to bc un-
ierneath Not one of the entire gang escaped
unscathed Gordon, the foreman, was hur-
ried from the scene as quickly as possible as
it was thought the friends of the victims,
ignorant rs to how the accident occurred,
would attack him. Two bodies were taken
from the debris in tho evening, known by
numbers only

WOMAN's DRESS,

A great many people think that
woman's dress, although gh radically differ
ent from the old Greek costume which is
considered the height of grace and beau
ty, is, on the whole, as near perfection
as it is ever likely to be. Mrs. Celia
Whitehead, however, does not agree
with them. In q little volume called
"What's the Matter9" she says: 'Let
men and women change clothes for one
year. Let all the men begin at their
heads and tie up their hair into twists
and braids, frizzes, crimps and bangs,
and get hat with crown so small that
long pins must be used to hold it in
place, cut out the neck and cut off the
sleeves of their shirts, get good, strong,
fitting corsets and draw them tight
enough to cut off one-half their breath
ing power and leave an ugly, ungraceful
depression at the waist-line, put on a
garment reaching from waist to feet that
binders a natural step and requires un-
ceasing care to keep it dry and clean, and
finish up with shoes set up on little pegs
in the middle of the foot. Let them ad-
here to this steadfastly for one year, ex-
cept when they are sick in bed, and give
the women their outfit and if you then
call for proof that woman's dress is ruin
GUS to health IN muster the long array
of doctors testimony which I have on
hand"

FASHION NOTES.

Princess skating costumes are mader
entirely of fur. s
Fur trimmings are more extensively
used than for many years.
Favo1ite furs for trimming are seal,
otter, beaver and Persian lamb.
A becoming garniture for low cor,
sage of black velvet is narrow border.
of closely curled ostrich plumage. .
Lace is again used as garniture, butt
is set on fatty, as insertions around the
skirt, or in rows across side breadths. I
White kid gloves are worn with white
evening gowns, and bid fair TO rival
those of tan color to wear with colored
gowns. 4
The ribbons used for loops, both on
hats and bonnets, are of very heavy
quality and stand almost as stiff1y as If
made of metal.
Bus!les; they were always bad form,
and now they are recognized as not only
being out of the line of beauty, but IN
extremely bad style.
Astrakhan is much liked on red hats :
and bonnets, and proves so decorative
that all further garniture, save bow OF
ribbon, is unnecessary. i
Among petticoats recently made for
bride was one of rich black moire, satin
wadded and scented, the perfume being
introduced between the Innings. ~
The high coifure is gradually being
superseded by the catogan. In mary
cases an excellent and becoming effect is !.
attained by the union of both styles. i
Shell slides covered with gold filigree
and hinged like bracelets are worn to en-
circle and hold in place the catogan
braids so popular with young ladies.
selvsges, which once served only as ,.
firm edge to textile fabrics, and were.
often woven in different color, are now
as carefully finished as the rest OF the
fabric. ~"
Velvet trains for women of average
height are made of four breadths, and are
round or oval at the end, with very
straight sides. Their greatest length Is
seventy-fve inches. =:
The finger nail worn in the French
style is pointed; in the English style
rounded. The fashionable style of the,
little finger nail in pointed style is about

The fancy for boas is said to have de-
yeloped into a mania with Parisiennes.
Very dainty ones are made of soft lace or
