Cold Water Habit.

That the idea of restraining citizens from destroying themselves with water has fun iu it for those gifted with
 hItoor cannot be denied and need not
 be evaded, but the spirit of levlty should not run riot. First, let it be noted that great deal of water is fearfully impure. The most deadly diseases are propagated in it. It is the American habit at each meal to begin wish glass of icewater. There is not hotel waiter in this country who does not understand this and act upon it, of course. The icewater chills the stomach and dilutes the gastric juice This prepares not for digestion but for dyspepsia The habit of delug- ing the stomach with icewater has tendency to overwork the heart. The first thing at the German springs where heart disease is treated is to for bid the use of water The reason is that the force pump must not be over worked. When human beings become sacks of water the heart has extra work thrown upon it, and heart-failure follows. The German prescrintien for, overworked hearts is a<tniid d <z,s pS1{ seai in the morning andte4sn5ls s,atI( t| pint of sour wine duTfi6 |e z5 6t coffee and no water. {p sse al s}s'3|l thirst the mouth may bo iioistefiedf' without swallowing the liquid used, and little dish of ice-crearn is per mitted in the evening There is not a bit of joke about this, and science is behind it. One of the terrors of the times is Brights disease, and the com mon story is that 1t Is in it's origin al coholic. But not long ago an esteemed citizen of Cincinnati, who never drank a drop of spirituous or malt liquor, fermented wine or cider, died of well-marked case of the Bright's mal- ady. What is the explanation? He was an incorporate water-drinker. The kidneys are destroyed by torrents of drink, no matter what. only it is reasonable to hold that hot and cold rebellious liquors hasten the decay. Here we have the three great vital organs-the stomach, the heart and the kidneys-assailed by the abuse of water. The victims of the water habit are to be seen on all sides, and counted by the thousands and ten of thousands. Cincinnati Com. Gazette.

Adam Berg reports that Sulphur Spring valley was entirely covered with water, though no damage was done. He reports grass on the east ern. side of the valley as about five inches high and very plentiful. The western side is not so good, but the rains will bring it up finely. Cattle are doing we'll and stockmen are smil- ing. If few more rains fall it is very probable that grass will be plenti- ful throughout the dry season next year.

THE GREAT FLOOD.
The Body of One Man Found at Bisbee and
 Two Others MiSSing-iuCh Damage Done.

Last Monday evening, abOut o'clock, rain began falling and in a few minutes increased to flood and continued about an hour and a half. Old-timers say that more water fell in that time than ever before in their re- collection The storm was circular and seemed to revolve around Tomb stone and vicinity. All the gulches were filled with raging torrents and no one ventured across the streets while the storm was at it's height. All bridges between here and Fairbank were washed away and those living in the track of the waters suffered the loss of their gardens and fruit trees, in several instances three and four feet of sand being left on their culti- vated land. Wells were filled up, re- servOirs broken and much other dam age done. No loss of life is reported.
 Bisbee suffered much more than Tombstone by reason of the manner in which it is situated. In twenty minutes after the storm commenced several houses were washed away and others moved from their foundations and half filled with sand and debris. Men, women and children were forced to seek higher ground for safety, in several instances barely escaping with their lives. After the storm was over it was found that three men were missing and that their cabins had been washed away. Their names were Mills, Kelly and Stevens and the searchers next day found the body ef Mills below town where the railroad crosses the canon. The search con tinues for Kelly and Stevens. Rail- road bridges were washed away and 1t will be several days before the trains are running again.
 Fairbank was flooded to depth of several feet and nearly all the houses partly filled with sand ard mud. Con siderable damage was done to property but no loss of life is reported. The San Pedro river was higher than ever before known, in many places flooding the valley several feet.
 The Grand Central mill, on the river, was compelled to shut down fer few days, but no damage was done. The Sterling Silver Mill, just below Tombstone, was stopped for an hour only, but not on account of the water, as only few inches were in the wheel pit and none came into the mill. The water in Walnut gulch, about mile and half north of this city, could be heard roaring quite plainly and sev- eral persons who went over reported that the flood was all of thirty feet deep.
 Tuesday evening another storm let go on the Huachuca and Mule noun tains, which was more severe than the one the evening previous, but none of it reached Tombstone and very little fell at Bisbee No damage of any consequence is reported except at Fairbank, where the flood washed down and completely wrecked the International Hotel. All the roads throughout the county visited by the storm are washed out and nearly inn passible and it will be several weeks before they are in fair condition again.
 Serious washouts are reported along the S. P. railroad and the mails are very irregular, none arriving in this city last Thursday.

A remarkable story comes from near Flagstaff of a man, while riding on horseback during thunder storm be ing struck by lightning.

The Record is informed that last week Yaqui Indian came into lmu- ris and reported that in the mountains east of the Imuris mines, he found the bodies of an American and Mex ican. There were five bullet holes in the body of the American and one in the back of the head of the Mexican. But little attention was paid to the story at the time and when the author ities came to their senses few days after, the Yaqui was gone. A party was organized and went. out upon what proved a fruitless search except { the finding of deserted mining camp, in which Joe Felmer, blacksmith for the Imuris Company, was interested. A short time ago Joe was out to his mine tG see his partner, (name un- known to us) who staid at and worked the mine with Mexican. All was well and Joe returned to ms WorK. The searching party finding the camp deserted and no clue to occupants, naturally concluded that it was their bodies that the Yaqui had found, as the two men had not showed up. An investigation followed and Joe Felmer was placed under arrest as he was the last person known to have been with the missing men. Joe was held until last Saturday, when by Governor Cor ral's orders he was released, the Gov ernor asserting that in his opinion the killing had been done by Indians.- Eogates R5U0rd.

Storms at Casa Grande and Florence.

A Florence dispatch to the Tucson Citizen, of July 2Sth says:
 A terrific storm struck this town last night, demolishing houses all over town, and everything considerably, The storm lasted about five hours.
 Mir. Arnett was struck by lightning but is not dangerously hurt. The north wing of the court house was damaged to the amount of several hundred dollars. About three inches of rain fell.
 Casa Grande - This section was visited last night by one of the most severe thunder, lightning, and wind storms that have ever occurred here. The clouds rolled up in great black masses to the south and west and the lightning display was something grand beyond description. The wind rose and soon swept over the plains with great velocity, blowing down two buildings at Casa Grande. A house and barn, about seven miles from here, were fiattened to. the ground. The new court house at Florence, which had.been completed up to the second story, was struck by lightning and one half of the magnificent structure Is a total wreck. The loss to outbuildings, orchards, etc., is supposed to be great.

llshed last evening that the Great North
ern Railroad Company has purchased the

and sufficiently emphatic, but the fact re-
mains that gentleman close in the cOun-

IN the property along the line of the ter
minal raj lway and in the vicinity Of the

when IL was whispered that this deal
had been perfected the information was
passed along the line i'm confidence to
those Interested until by chance it came

gardng the Great Northern deal is from
