CASA CYANIDE, Ariz., July Sth 1890.
 Although no preparations had been made for the celebration of the day, dear to all Americans the Glorious Fourth, it's approach was heralded on the evening preceding by fire works which sprang from one point and another, and the con tinuous popping of fire crackers. The morning of the Fourth was ushered in with salutes of giant powder and the national colors hung in proIuslOn from business places. flags flying from the tops of buildings and the s. r. Depot building prOfusely and tastefully decorated with flags of different sizes. There was no end of fun all through the day, quantities of fire crackers consumed and toward evening foot races, horse races, etc, and again in the evening repetition of fire works which the darkness of a cloudy sky rendered more brilliant; a flash of tightening now and then added to the general effect and thus has passed away another holiday unmarked by any espec- ial event but testifying to the patriotism of Casa Grande's sons
 Yesterday was the warmest day of the season. the thermometer indicating, ln the coolest place in town, no degrees. Not withstanding, every now and then de lightfully cool breeze would blow for a few moments, and although no doubt it was uncomfortably warm for a portion of the day, no evil effects are noticeable. On the contrary a profuse perspiration is conducive to health. How much one suffers from the heat depends on circum- stances. With a properly built house, high ceilings and good ventilation, an Arizona summer is the pleasantest. healthiest season of the year, delightful even as the winters and with their con tinual sunshine. The mortality from the recent heated term in the east marks de cidedly the difference between a summer in the north and of Arizona where no prostration follows the heat.

 Wagons continue to run regularly from Florence, Mesa and elsewhere bringing tn butter, eggs, vegetables, fruits and melons. From Mesa advices are to the effect that never before has been the water so low in the Salt River. Grapes will be in abundance but other fruits scarce on account of heat and drought.
 Trinidad Sanches, who recently met his death at the Vekoi by the explosion, had just completed a contract and was happily anticipating spending the Fourth at home with his family. He was a man well and widely known and possessed the especial esteem of all Americans who knew | him

A Terrible Deed.

The Rarqua Hala, not be outdone by older and more prstentious communities, celebrated the Fourth of July, but the manner of the rejoicing was not such as could be followed with any degree of credit by neighboring towns. Several brawls and battles took place, and several parties of pugilistic tendencies got severe iy whipped, but a Mexican named Juan Doten capped the climax of the days s'sport" by seizing an axe and with one swinging blow severihg the head of fel low countryman named Antonio. It is not known what caused this fend incar nate to commit such a deed, but he is known to be unusually jealous of all at tentions paid to his better half, and in his drunken frenzy he probably thought that antonio had wronged him.-Phenix Gazette.

 The saloon keeper knows that high license Is his magma charta, and he is vii
 ling to pay almost any price each year for its maintenance. It is his bill of rights under which he does all of his wrongs.
 1t Is not sin per SC to light match. but 1t is a sin per SC to light match in q powder magazine. It may not be a sin per SC to drink beer or whisky, but 1t Is a sin per SC to drink either in this age and country where the drink habit has grown to such fearful proportions that 1t IS wrecking hundreds of thousands of families yearly, and IS productive of 90 per cent of all pauperism, four-ffths of all crime, and One-half of all idiocy and lunacy. No matter what it was 2,000 years ago, or what 1t Is Ill other countries That Is not the question. Here in Amer 1ca, under existing circumstances, no man can drink or make intoxicating bev- erages, and remain guiltless. That is the point
 However restrlctlre the license system may be, 1t can never wholly prevent the sale of intoXicants. Where intoxicants are sold, there will always be drinking and drunkenness; and drinking and drunkenness are no evils less un- der the highest of high license than un- der the lowest of low license. While human appetite and human naturere- main what they are, license will never be an adequate remedy for the liquor evil It may ameliorate, but it can never eradicate, the evil. Intemperance comes from drunkenness, drunkenness comes from drinking, drinking is fostered by the saloon, and the saloon is tolerated by license. If we desire to do away with drunkenness and intemperance the sa- loon must be abolished, and high license will never eradicate the saloon but pro hibition will

FAVORITE ROYAL DISHES.

King Humbert of Italy affects to be En- glish, and calls for rare steak and thick nut ton chops.
 King Christian, of Denmark, won't eat veal, pork or lamb He is almost a vege- tartan, and likes salads and cold vegetables for supper and breakfast.
 The queen regent of Spain eats sparingly of plain beef, mutton and chicken, and likes soup with every meal. She seldom touches tea or coffee or bread.
 The Princess of Wales is light eater, but, strange to say, adores roast pork with plenty of seasoning. She is also very par tial to spring onions and salad generally.
 The sultan of Turkey eats next to noth- ing beyond mutton and sweetmeats, unless it be a mess called a goat stew, to which flour dumplings and slices of lemon are added
 The empress of Russia pins her faith to chickens, in any style Her majesty often remarks that, as far as she is concerned, the barn fowl is the only ''to-be-eaten" ani- maj that need exist.
 The Prince of Wales likes half dozen dishes and plenty of them. He insists on thick soup; never touches potatoes or
 
 ton, with jelly, is the true epicure's bon bouche.
 The emperor of Austria is purely German in his taste. Sauerkraut and bacon is served to him twice week, and so is stock fish, an atrocious preparation of dried cod fish, boiled with cucumbers, and eaten for breakfast.
 The empress of Austria likes veal, soaked in vinegar, and ram herring salads. Her favorite dish is a slice of lean ham, cut thin and grilled, served on toast and smothered in green peas; that is, provided the peas be fresh picked and young.
 The emperor of Russia prefers every thing cooked to a cinder, and eats enor- nous quanties of oysters. One of his particular dishes is a Russian national dellcacy, consisting of sheep's brains stewed with sugar, and then served with dump lings and slices of fat bacon.
 An eccentric eater is King Charles of Wurtemberg. He hardly eats at all during the day, but likes long meal of several courses at midnight. He is fond of liver baked and served with stuffing. He never eats or drinks anything except 3 cup of coffee and 8 roll until he has been up and about for nearly half the day.
 Queen Victoria is a moderate and simple eater. In the morning, while still in bed, a cup of chocolate is given her with square of hot unbuttered toast. For breakfast she eats lean, crisp, fried bacon with an egg, and some thin slices of bread and but ter Her favorite dish, however, is, without dn"bt. salmon-boiled. grilled or pickled.

A Kern County Product.
Bakersfield Echo,


 There Is another resource" in Kern that has not been talked about much yet It is the collection and shipment of horned toads. An Echo reporter happened into the express office few days ago and there saw large box of these animals on the way to market, They were collected by "Yellow Sam" a well-known Chinaman. and were consigned to Dr. Chee Song Tong, 7l0 Dupont street, San Francisco Inquiry of Toy Lee, who happened to come in at that moment, eicited the in formation that they were not used as an article of food, but belonged to the ao- main of materia medica and were a well known ingredient in some popular medi- cines, They are, Unexplained, considered especially valuable in the treatment of rheumatism. He gave us the formula. which was about as follows: Two parts whiskey and one part horned toad; mix and let stand one year. It may then be taken internally or applied externally to the rheumatic parts. Horned toads do well here without irrigation.

A Dangerous Bug.

There is bug or insect, peculiar to Arizona and Mexico, that is much feared by the horse owner. It Is a peculiar specimen of natural history and looks somewhat like a straw-colored alarming needle, mounted on correspondingly slender legs. The only name here given it Is the Mexican title of "Campamocha. " Its favorite haunt is in the bunch grass of the plains, and the hungry horse or mule is very apt to take the insect intern ally, along with the forage. The effect Is surprising. The animal almost in stantly starts to running, rolling or the ground and kicking, apparently in the keenest agony, and sometimes ill but a few minutes expires. The only antidote known is to pour melted lard down the unfortunate animals throat, though this is not always effective. Cattle do not seem to be affected.-Arizona Republi- can.

A Desperate Array.

Deputy Sheriff James arrived from the Harqua Halas on Sundays train having in custody John Doten charged with at tempting to murder Antonio Herrera at Harrisburg, this county. The prisoner states that feeling existed between the two men resulting in two fights on the Fourth of July, in which his hand was badly injured by blow from a stick wieided by Herrera. During the day. the latter become intoxicated and, the form CT claims, threatened to take his life sev eral times. Learning this Doten visited him at his dugout when Herrera attempt ed to seize him, at the same time motion ing as if to draw a weapon. Doten i'm mediately grasped an ax from a neigh boring woodpile and with it struck his victim upon the forehead inflicting what Is believed to be mortal wound.
 The story told by the Deputy Sheriff differs materially from the above and is very damaging in its nature, but all the facts will be elicited at the preliminary examination to be held before Judge Mabbltt on the arrival of the necessary witnesses. Doten IS well-known here. having formerly resided in the village. He has rather pleasant face and is but twenty-four years old, his victim being about ty-two.-Yuma Times.

From the Owl Heads.
Tucson Star.

Mir H. Light returned yesterday from Pinal county. He states that the Gila river for long distance above the Butte Is as dry as powder.
 MT. Light on his return visited the Benton mine in the Owl Heads district. A marvelously rich strike has been made at depth of 1855 feet in the old shaft. The ore carries large quantities of native silver The vein Is about 30 inches in width. The level which IS being run from the working shaft to the vein is 230 feet in length and Is within 23 feet of the vein, which it will cut depth of POO feet
 Then look out for boom at Benton. Mir. Light thinks the Benton will prove to be one of the richest silver producing mines in Southern Arizona.

At no time in the past ten years has there been so much activity and legltl- mate work in the mining districts which surround Prescott as can be noticed this year. If the number of mills now run ming, and the vast aloqnt of money be, ing expended in developing new and old claims, goes for anything, it shows, to say the least, an increased confidence Ill the worth of our mines. and that a new era has dawned upon this section. In nearly every district to the south of us will be found from four to a dozen claims ID each of which as many miners are at work sacking ore for shipment, or else placing their properties in shape to yield.-Jour- nal Miner

The kitchen attached to the Florence hotel was completely burned ont by a fire that occurred between three and four o'clock Monday morning. When discovered the fire reached from the floor to the ceiling at the east window and was without doubt the work of an incendiary, it having been set on fire twice previously. Nothing intiammable was kept upon that side of the room, which sets at rest all doubts as to the origin of the fire. At the first alarm people rushed to the scene as rapidly as possible and within a few minutes formidable fire brigade was at work with buckets of water and axes to confne the flames to the kitchen. In this they were successful after a heroic and dangerous fight, and by their efforts tl.e hotel building was saved and doubtless other valuable property. For tunately there was no wind stirring at the time. The loss appFoximates $500 GOV cred by insurance.

If the mother of Lieutenant Cushing be really in want the Government should do something for her to show its recogni- ton of the services of her brave son, whose deeds were never sufficiently rewarded. The blowing up of the rebel ironclad Albemarle Is admitted by competent naval critics to be an exploit unparalleled in the war for nerve, daring and skill. Gushing, then beardless youth, was ex- posed to murderous fire while he guided the torpedo to it's place and pulled the lines that exploded it. This work re- quired the incest calculation, as prema- ture explosion would have caused little damage. He escaped by a miracle, his clothes being riddled with bullets It was service which should have insured his i'm mediate promotion, but he died shortly af- ter, still Sheutenant, though he had done more good work in his brief life than many a rear admiral performs in a hali century of service.-S.

A Halt Called.

The New York Tribune, which has been conspicuous for many years in securing justice for veterans of the army, calls for a halt in the matter of pensions. It says: The measure of proper expenditures for pensions has been reached, if, indeed, it has not been passed already. There is no active demand on the part of the veterans of the Union for sums exceeding those al ready appropriated and those veterans are sensible enough to know that appro- priations exceeding half the entire reve- nue of the Government to benefit small fraction of the people might quickly cause the collapse of the whole system for lack of popular approval or support.
