joyable socials and everybody will no doubt

Beware OF DIN tments for Catarrh tina,
Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of
smell and completely derange the whole

used except on prescriptions from reputable
physicians, as the damage they will do is
ten fold to the good you can possibly derive
from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-

cluded in your land district, on any condition whatever, but will prompt ly reject any application that may be made for such an entry or filing, with the usual right of appeal. You will take any necessary action to ascertain the proper limits of the arid regions, and whether any lands in your district are included there in, and if you have any doubt there of, you may submit the question to this office for specific instructions. Any entries or filings of lands with in the arid regions which may have already been allowed subsequent to the passage of the act of Oct 2, 1888, and reported to this office, will be taken up and acted upon according to the principles indicated herein, as soon as practicable in the course of official business"
 The question of withdrawing the arid lands from settlement is one which has been extensively debated incidently during the consideration of the appropriations for the irriga- ton survey. Some ofthe western sen ators and members made vigorous protest and endeavored to wholly defeat the irrigation scheme of Di- rector Powell and the department but they succeeded only in part. The appropriation has practically continued to a samller extent than before, but it is evident from the in- structions issued to-day that the policy inaugurated relative to the irrigation of the arid lands is still in force, and will remain so unless Congress takes positive action to the contrary.

Ancient Workings.

c. c. Fitzgerald, who is working the Cooks Peak mines, claims, to have found evidences of early work ings in the lower levels. He tells a Tribune reporter at Fl Paso that progress of development on this property has opened out mine worked probably two thousand years ago and no doubt by the Aztecs. The chamber and tunnel leading to it are worthy of note, as the manner of work iii mining science of that age seems we'll de- fined by the charred walls, which were heated and rendered friable by applying water to the heated sur face,
 Hammers, made of trap rock, or phonolite, shaped at one end to fit the hand and rounded at the other, using the arm of the workman as a handle to the instrument, were found. The picks, made similarly are rounded in the center to admit the grasp of both hands, using the ends in the manner of using the picks of the present day.
 A limestone capping of fifteen feet had formed over the entrance to the mine. This fact serves as a record of the age of the discovery, as it could not have formed to that extent in less than the time men toned.

A Texas Shooting.

Palestine, Tex, August 20.-Last night, just after Congressional Con- vention had adjourned, Dave Colley approached Ed Matthews on the street. Without a word Matthews drew revolver and fired four shots at Colley. The first struck him in the left hand, passed through, and entered the thigh of George. W. Burkitt. The second shot struck Colley in the stomach. Colley start ed to stagger away, when Matthews fired two more shots in quick suc- cession. The first missed CoHey and broke the leg of James McMeans while the other struck ColleY in the back and lodged just under the left nipple. It was extracted shortly afterwards. Colley is expected to die. Matthews is in jail.
 Eye-witnesses claim that Colley was laughing when he approached Matthews, and, when the latter drew his revolver, said, Don't, Ed" No arms were found on Coiley. It is stated, however, that about an hour before Colley had drawn a revolver on Matthews, but was disarmed by a policeman before he could fire. Both are young men, well known in bushes circles.

An Editor in Trouble.

Roberto Bernal, editor of El Monitor newspaper in this city has got into pretty serious trouble with the Mexican ofici als. It appears that on Thursday he had some words with Commandante Chapi- tai of the customs service and that evening was arrested and lodged in jail on the Mexican side. At first it was not supposed that the event would prove of much importance, but last evening a telegram was re- ceived from the governor directing that Bernal be taken this morning to Magdalena there to be brought before the district court but on what charge we are not advised.
 Editor Bernal has not been in high favor with the Mexican goY- ernment for several years and his arrest is liable to result in long confinement if not worse. His paper has always been very out spoken and he has thus brought down condemnation from the high est officials.
 About three years agosGov. Tor res had him arrested on a charge of libel and the case attracted some attention in the Pima county courts. Since then there has been bad blood and he has never hesitated to speak his opinions freely regarding Mex ican administration.-Nogales Her. ald.

Republican Ballot Box Frauds.

A most fragrant fraud was perpe trated at some of the polling places in this city in the issuance of poll tax receipts with the conniyance of the Republican trustee and other county officers now in office. The Republican trustee issued, or per mitted to be issued, poll tax re- ceipts in blank, with his name sign ed to them, to be handed about poll ing places and to be filled out when ever a voter could be found willing to vote their ticket for having his poll-tax paid. Whether poll-tax receipts so disposed of have been properly accounted for on the coun- tvs books in the trustee's office is yet question. Again, it is alleged by Democrats who have them now in their possession, that certain counterfeit poll-tax blanks were pre- sented and accepted at the polls. Several persons after voting were seen to tear up their poll tax re- receipts which had been returned to them by the judges of election. The fragments of such were secured and put together, showing the blank to have been fraudulent and not cor responding to any blank now in the trustee's office. Another fraud con- sisted in getting the trustee to write the poll tax receipt in pencil so that it could be erased and rewritten to suit the persons respectively who would afterward present it. Upon one such receipt five sovereigns were permitted to vote. Whether any indictments will follow these abuses of the law remain to be seen. knoxville Dispatch to Nashville American,

Drank His Victims BlOOd.

Bozeman, Mont, Aug. 27.-One of the most horrible crime in the history of this state occurred at Timberline, a wood camp fifty miles south of here. Henry R. Quinn, a woodcutter from from Manitoba, who has long been considered crazy, chopped off the heads of his wife and six children as they slept. Then the brute held the heads over a pan until it was filled with blood, with which he gorged himself. He was discovered by a neighbor and without waiting to learn posi- lively whether the murderer was in sane the people of the camp strung him up to tree and riddled the body with bullets. o------1 g----1

"OUr Statesman"

The following from the Phoenix Gazette is so applicable to the Lil- liputain Statesmen of Apache coun- ty, that we publish it without fur ther comment;
 Ifyou don't believe in whipping at the post for wife-beating you are in sympathy with the wife-beater; if you favored the amnesty of re- bels, you were rebel sympathizer if you denounce bills of attainder as punishment for treason, you are an accessory to the crime; if you regard capital punishment as an excessive punishment for highway robbery, you sustain and uphold the highwayman if you insist that every man charged with crime shall have a fair and impartial trial, and shall not be punished unless proven guilty under the rules of evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, then you are the friend of the criminal, and the supporter of crime if you do not regard diSfranchisement as the proper treatment of a man whose only crimes is membership in the Mormon church, then you are a polygamist by instinct, and opposed to the enforcement of the laws made to suppress polygamy, Such is the logic of WolAey and his clique of poiiticial conspirators. Repub, members of congress, whose abhorrence of plural marriage, is quite as strong as that of WolAey, and whose respect for the funda- mental principles of freedom, and jealous regards for human rights are much stronger than his, believe that the unrepublican, unusual and excessive punishment of disfran- chisement for crimes never commit ted, should not become a feature of the constitution of an American commonwealth. To punish for polygamy, for unlawful cohabita- ton, for aiding and abetting in the commission of those offenses, and, perhaps even to visit upon those convicted of such oflenses, the ad- ditional punishment of distran- chisement, in the judgment of pa triotic and non-fanatical citizens, is to follow the safe precedents of free government; but to go farther and punish the man who has never married polygamously, who may not believe in it, who has made up his mind to obey the laws of the country so long as he Is subject to its jurisdiction, who has never aid e1 or abetted in the commission of the offense, nor advlsed or encour- aged its commission, Is to overleap the requirement. of the situation, and establish a dangerous prece- dent. The moral makeup, the un- patriotic disposition of a man, who, like Mr. Wolfey, can father a
 scheme to deprive a large class oi
 fellow citizens, of every right dear
 to free men, deserves the condem-
 nation of every wise and good man the indifference to such outrageous wrongs. manifested by honorable
