Strength tor the Labor.

There are many people who seem
exceedingly anxious since they must
work to find something which is easy
to do. But it is by no means certain
that this is wise course. How
much would a boy know if he was
constantly kept at easy lessons? He
might study his primer for fifty years,
and everything would be easy; but
what would he know. and would he
be fit for? So person might read
easy books, like the sloppy, trashy.
sensational novels of the day, but
when he had read for 999 years what
would he know, and what would lie
be good for? Such things do not task
the mental energies, do not develop
mental powers, but leave man as
they found him. only little more
weakly and f1abby tnan he was at
the beginning. So with easy work
work which tries no muscle develops
no muscle. A man who never puts
forth efforts which test his powers
aud try his strength will never have
much power to test or strength to try.
He will grow up lazy. f1abby, feeble,
and unfit to fight the battle of life.
There is much work to be done
which requires men of brain and men
of Drawn. men of mental vigor and
of muscular power, and the world at
large has little use for men who are
always looking for easy work. What
we need Is men of muscle. bra wn,
pluck courage, and strength men
who are ready to grapple with diff
culties, dangers, and hindrances
take hold of what comes. and do
what is needed; meet enemies and
overcome them, and do work which
shall tell in time and eternity.
God calls US to quit ourselves like
men-to be strong in the Lord and in
the power of His might. Let US be
ready to obey His call, and do His
will ; and If we do the work which
He gives US, we shall have blessing in
labor while we do it, blessing on our
labor when 1t is accomplished, and
blessing for our labor at the end.-
Boston Christian.

If the American people we're to
learn that their army and navy DUR
ing the past year had lost 52S2 men
in engagements with enemies, and
that nearly $4,000 of the soldiers and
sailors had been wounded. they
would be Mortified. In fact, so great
a destruction of life and limb would
wipe out our entire army and navy.
as those branches of the Government
service are now constituted. Yet,
says the Philadelphia Bulletin, that
is the extent of the havoc which was
wrought last year on the railroads Of

The Liver

When ont of order, involves every organ OF

For the past week or so c. s. Cooper was on a spree at Gold Hill, Tuesday he apparently sobered up took Win chester rifle and went hunting After he had been out a while he came into Al. Miller's tent and asked for a drink Of water He then laid down and said he was going to sleep. Miller left him and went down town. Shortly afterwards a number of shots were heard at the tent and it was discovered that Cooper was shooting his rife, d forty -four, and had set the tent on fire. Cooper left the tent and started for the hills, shooting his gun and acting strangely. It was apparent that the whiskey was getting in it's work and that Cooper had a bad case of jim jams Being armed as he was no one cared to go out and tackle him. He He was seen to go into a grove, another shot was fired and nothing more was heard of Cooper Shortly afterward a number of men went over to investigate and found Cooper dead, He had put the muzzle of the gun in his mouth, pulled the trigger and blown out his left cheek and eye and the whole back of his head. Word was sent down to Lordsburg and Judge Titus went out and held an inquest in which were developed the above facts. c. $. Cooper was a young man between twenty-five and thirty and had always borne a good reputation. He had lived at Gold Hill two years and waa well liked.

Willy Red Devils.
Phenix Herald.

Frank Patterson, the stock partner of J. Fl. w. Gansen, arrived Tuesday from the firms ranch on Coon creek, Gila county. south of the Sierra Ancha noun tains. on the north bank of Salt river. MT. Patterson reports grass there ln better condition than for the past seven years.
 He assisted Sheriff Thomas ill iailing Guadalupe, one of the four Apaches now held at Globe for the murder of ranch man Ned Baker last July. Deceased lived about ten miles north of Patterson and the latter thinks the red devils plot ted his life as well as his neighbor's. They were about his cabin for three days. Early Saturday morning they woke him up, three bucks and three squaws. Two bucks staid for breakfast, and made minute inquiries about the number of his friends He bluffed, d,them'byl claiming three or four who would be at home soon. Dandy Jim wanted to shoot at mark with Pat terson but he declined, keeping them al ways in front of his six shooter which was known to go off quick and true. He gave Dandy Jim vest that morning.
 In the evening he rode out to Guada- lupe's camp and found the whole party packing hurriedly for their departure. Not till next Wednesday, however, was the mur- der of Baker discovered. He had been shot in the back, and his head was chopped off, showing that he had consented to try arms with the willy devils, when one oi their number hidden in the brush picked him off from the rear and another used Bakers axe to make sure of their prey.
 Patterson and Sheriff Thompson went to Fort Apache where Guadalupe was The officers failed to believe Franks story. Lupe denied being off the reser vation till questioned about the vest ht had on. which was the one Patterson had given Dandy Jim. Then he owned up tC hiding in the brush when the other bucks woke Patterson up that Saturday morn ing. He, doubtless, expected to kill hin as soon as the others engaged him in the rifle contests. But Patterson proved toe smart for them.

They received gooc treatment at San Carlos and delivered their prisoner safely in Globe, wher' Nataskai's two sons and an old India1 were soon added, as accompices in poo Bakers murder

That Cattle Trail.
Yuma Sentinel.

Across the Colorado Valley, generally called the Colorado Desert is well estab- lished fact, no one can doubt. Last year that section was desert in name and In fact and yet Lang & Co, < Vail Gates, succeeded in taking across their large droves with but little trouble, loss or ex pense. It is said that Vairs loss was less than one half by trail, of that of those he sent by railroad and the expense $4 a head less, and that too in the desert year. This season the desert has changed into a valley well supplied with both feed and water. If the trail was a success last year, it will be much more so this season. One thing is certain, and that Is our best cattle men propose to try It. With q good ferry just below Yuma there IS no reason why thousands of dollars should not be saved to the cattle owners. Nails cattle arrived at their destination last year in better condition than when they started on the journey It may be true that the Southern Pacific railroad could and should do this business, that it should make such rates of freight that the cattle men could afford to ship by rail but if they cannot or will not do so, then it must take the consequences and allow this great business to go by trail and not by rail. This traffic it seems should belong to the railroad, but the owners of cattle say that they cannot afz ford to pay the rates of freight demanded by the raiIroed Company. It is for the personal interest of the business men of Yuma and other towns on the route that the cattle should be driven overland and not go by railroad.

yNMAILABLE MATTER.
Postmaster General Gives Instructions
 About Lottery Mail,

A Washington dispatch says: Assist ant Postmaster General Tyner, under di- rection of Postmaster General Wanamak- CT, has prepared for publication in the Postal Bulletin lengthy circular to post masters containing instructions for their guidance in the treatment of lottery mat ter" under the recent anti-lottery act.
 It says that the section quoted applies to any letter, ordinary or registered, if it refers to any lottery or gift concern or scheme described in the section and to lottery tickets, checks, drafts, bills, mon ey, postal notes or money orders for the purchase of lottery tickets, or any share or chance in lottery or gift enterprise, and to a list of drawings at any lottery or similar scheme and forbids carrying them in the mails or the delivery of them from a postoffice.
 The seal of letter or any sealed packet, prepaid at letter rates, must not be dis tuTbed for the purpose of aseefteipipg if its transmission in the mail or its delivery at postoffice IS forbidden by the provis- ions of this act, nor will mere suspicion that such letter or packet relates to a lottery or the fact of its being addressed to any person engaged in the business of conducting lottery, justify it's detention or non-delivery, except that the delivery of registered letters at the office of des- tination shall be withheld when the Post master General has issued specific orders under the provisions of section 1929 to that effect.

 Scott White, Justice of the Peace at Bowie station, kindly furnishes The Stockman the subIolned account of homicide that took place m Morse's Canon, (WilgUs), Chlucahua mountains, on Monday
 Late on the evening of the 29th I re- ceive telegram saying that Patrick Dawson had been killed at Wilgus that morning, and asking me to come and hold an inquest l left Bowie station th1t night and reached Wilgns next morning; summoned a jury, consisting of w. W. Smith foreman; John Erickson, Ben F. Smith, c. F. Smith, D. W. Smith and repaired to the scene of the killing Found Patrick Dawson lying dead in front of the cabin of H. r. McGowan. From the testimony it seems there has been trouble brewing for sometime be- tween Dawson and McGowan, Dawson having driven McGowan off of his, (Mc- GOwan's) place, and not allowing him to enter into his own house. They were partners in a way, and had been camping and working together before the trouble began. McGowan stated that he had been in a constant fear of being killed by Dawson for a long time; that he was not allowed to enter his house, having been driven from the place at the point of a rifle; that last Saturday night he had slept out in the bushes wandering around the hills during all day; Sunday night he camped at Mir. Hills place, short dis tance below his own ranch; that early Monday morning he went to his place and took a position behind the chicken house A few minutes afterwards Daw- son came out of the house with a rifle in his hands and looked around, and he hid behind the chicken house so that Dawson could not see him. Dawson" continue Al McGowan, after looking around Went back into the house. l then to olr 2 stand at the corner of his room. h a short time Dawson came out of the house again, thought he still had his rifle. but he did not. As he came c,dt of the house 1 stepped from behind the corner and fired at him with as .,ot-gun loaded with sll5u snot, Lay ,on turning toward me an ana Iecelsng che load in his breast I | ie es siiQt H l'' ed to knock him down, wher | | IIeS' " other barrel at him, knocking nm 70 ,Vn.

 The verdict of the jury was that the killing was justifable. There were nc witnesses to the tragedy, and the onl! evidence we had relating to 1t was tha given by McGowan. Mrs. Hill, thel neighbor testified that Dawson, had th' day before at her house threatened to k1l McGowan if he did not divide his prop erty with him.

AN OUTSIDE VIEW
ARIZONA'S PROGRESS AS SEEN BY
 OTHERS.
Advancement in Spite of Difiicuities---A Healthy Condition of Affairs to be Noted When Agriculture
 Takes Precedence
 of Mining.
S. P. Post.

The result of the recent census in Arizona, in conjunction with the report of the Acting Governor of that Territory. discloses a most encouraging condition of affairs. In ten years the Territory has gained l3,56O people, and now numbers, exclusive of Indians, 60,0OO. This indi-- cates rapidly growing strength.
 In the reclamation and settlement of wild countries, the first steps are always slow and painful. Men are not like sheep. They don't recklessly jump after leader. A bell wether cannot in a moment stampede mob. The resources, possibilities and opportunities of place must be slowly demonstrated before set tiers commence going there in num- bers
 Arizona, too, has had many difficult ties to contend against. One of the prin- clpal Of these has been the recurring out breaks of the Apaches. Men are natural ly tlmid about settling in country where the1r stock may be run off, their homes burned, their families captured and mal- treated and their lives taken at any mo- mant It takes wonderful inducements to overcome such drawbacks, and under the circumstances, gain of over 1300C people Tn ten years IS a great achieve ment and indicative of much greater degree of success ill the near future The Indians have been held closely in hand of late, and there is a possibility that the request for their entire removal may be acceded to at an early day. An other outbreak will certainly induce the taking of some such step.
 In his report the Acting Governor states that, while the great mining indus try IS in a more healthy condition than i ever was before, more attention IS beine paid to agriculture This is the health jest sign of all. When a mining country reaches that state of development it is or i the verge of maturity and its after-pro gress is bound to be much more rapid
 We congratulate our southern neigh Dor on its present standing and future ex | pectations"

What Smith Didn't do,
Prospector


 The assertion of MT. Cheyney's organs that Mark Smith has done nothing since he has been in Congress falls flat in view of the facts. Mir. Cheyney's record ill the last legislative Council is before the people We presume if Mark Smith had put g bili through Congress depriying citizens of the benefits of national institu- tions of charity he would have ''done something" If he had voted for bill to tell man now he should observe the Sabbath day, he would have ''done something" If he had voted for bill which will not allow the employment of any but natlge- bGrs ApleEieans ip public works, he would have "dOne something. J If he had used his time during his resi- dence in Washington to feather his own nest after he had retired from the trust imposed in him, he would have "done something" If he was hrsily engaged at the present time ill aiding the un- American party of Arizona in disfran- chising the followers of a religious belief because they vote the democratic ticket he would be doing something" If be- ing at ones post of duty, looking after the interests of his constituents, throw ing his influence against objectionable legislation and knowing no party lines ill his endeavor to do his duty to his con stituents; if all this constitutes "doing nothing" then in not doing something Mark Smith has earned the gratitude oi his constituents, and will be returned tc his seat iii O0hgIesa as 2 rebrke to thosf who would undo the Constitution of the United States to suit their selfiesh ends.

 The casa Is entered at protecting an gle through window of sub Gothic form. measuring 3 feet and inches in height by , feet and inches in width at the bottom. This small apartment Is smooth Y pIastered within and blackened by fire. The clustering bears finger marks and impressions of the thumb and hand, showing that 1t was laid on and smoothed oy the hands. The roof Is formed by willows laid horizontally across eleven rafters of ash and black alder; upon this a thick layer of reeds Is placed transverse ly, and the whole plastered on with nor tar, forming floor to the chamber above 1t. The rafters are peeled, except one or two that were evidently taken dry. They average about l5 inches in circumference and were set into the walls at the time the latter were built. They were burned off flush with the wall outside. Some ofthem show hatchet- marks where branch es were chopped of. From this room the only means of exit, except the window by which 1t was entered, Is small hole in the ceiling, just within the entrance measuring l3 by IS inches, and bordered by flat stones laid upon the reed layer oi the roof. These stones are smoothly pol ished by the hands of the dwellers in passing back and forth, as this was ap- parently the only means of entering the seventeen apartments above it. The tra- veler in this region is pretty sure of be ing entertained by exaggerated stories about gigantic human skeletons having been discovered in the ruined casas gran des; but if he be a good sized man, and possessed of the usual amount of adipose tissue appertaining to the age of three score years, he will become skeptical thereof when he comes to squeeze him. self through the narrow portals of Mon tezuma's Castle"
