Brown was Starling's mother-in-law and
there was well-founded suspicion that
Starting murdered her, that he might get
possession of her property through his

ssrofuia in Children.

The following IS taken from letter written under date of July l, 1889, by Mrs. Ruth Berkley, most charitable and Christian lady ot Salina, Kansas:
 In the early part of 1887 scrofula appeared on the head of my little grandchild, then only IS months old. Shortly after breaking out it spread rapidly all over her body. The scabs on the sores would peel etf on the slightest touch, and the odor that would arise would make the atmos- pbere of the room sickening and un- bearable. The disease next attacked the eyes and we feared she would lose her sight. Eminent physicians from the surrounding country were con suited, but could do nothing to relieve the little innocent, and gave it as their opinion, "that the case was hopeless and impossible to save the child's eye sight It was then that we decided to try Swift's Specific (S. $. S.) That medicine at once made speedy and complete cure. For more than a year past she has been as healthy as any child in the land.

&AIL CONTRACTS,


 The contract for carrying the mail from Florence 10 the King, was let to " H Pease. The same party gets the contract from Casa Grande to Sacaton for S381-the last contract was for $609
 s. ". Pomeroy got the route from Florence to G,obe for S6000.
 J. B. Colgroye secured the plum by bidding $500 on the route from Riv- erside 10 Benson,
 W. N. Griffith X Co.,, secured thelr old llne, but 1t is not known at what fgures.-FIorenee EntepnSe.
 The prices at which those contracts were let, So far as known, are not speculative, and, therefore, are liable to be performed in a slipShod manner, Consequently it behooves postmasters, as agents of the postal service, to see that there is no shirking
 Take for instance the Florence and Globe route, over the Pinal mountain -sixty-two thousand and fifty miles traveled during the year, in order to perform the contract, or 9s cents per mile--and then calculate wear and tear of vehicles and animals, wages and grub of drivers, shoeing and feed of horses, interest on capital, and in-  cidental expenses and you will be enabled to guess at Pomeroy's profit over the left.

Poor Humanity!

The common lot is one of sorrow say --at least-the pessimists, they who look at the worst side. Certainly what would otherwise be a bright existence, is often shadowed by some ailment that over hangs it like pail, obscuring perpet- ually the radiance that else would light the path Such an ailment, and very common one, is nervousness, or in other words, weakness of the nervous system, a condition only irremediable where in efficient or improper means are taken to relieve it. The concurrent experience of nervous people who have consistently used Hostetter's Stomach Bitters IS, that it conquers entirely supersensitivoness of the nerves, as well as diseases --s 50 called which are invited and sustained by their chronic. weakness. As the nerves gain stamina from the great tonic tho trouble disappears. Use the Bitters for malaria, rheumatism, biliousness and kidney troubles.
