Skill to Rouse One.

Ayoung woman unconsciously struck the keynote of conversational ability in her comment the other day upon a friend: 'I like to talk to him." she said cmphatically; "he makes me think of something to say" The ability to draw out ones companion in converse tion is far greater and rarer than the possession of fluency in expressing one's own opinions, says the New York Times. A persistent tallzer, even if brilliant, becomes tiresome after a little. Said clever hostess, planning a dinner which she wished specially successful: q can't ask Mrs. S., though on some accounts should like to-; she talks so increasingly that she soon depresses the company" A man expanded the same idea little more when he said he enjoyed encountering q person slow to awaken to the spirit of conversation. "There is no game" |" he says, ''in these brilliant people, who meet you alert, many-sided, responding instantly to every subject suggested. All you can do is to go down before them; while the other sort. it is a pleasure and subtle hattery to one's skill to rouse and develop"

WITH statehood, the San Carlos reservation will be quickly thrown open for settlement and a demand for the removal of this incubus will be needed. The hundreds of lives that have been sacrafced in the endeavor to make this territory state by set ting up the valleys and developing the mineral resources of its mountain ranges, is the strongest argument Tn favor of a change. Neglect to heed the silent language of the unmarked monuments scattered all over this county would be crime as heinous as that by which Bridges and Robin son, Hardy, Smith and hundreds ol others met their awful death. A man whose heart is so callous that it refuses to throb at the thought of these in- numcrable butcheries, is only fit fol slavery.

Serious Danger.

Threatens every man, woman or child living in region of country where fever and ague is prevalent, since the germs of malarial disease are inhaled from the air and are swallow ed from the water of such 8 region. Medicinal safeguard is absolutely necessary to nullify this danger. AS means of fortifying and acclimating the system SO as to be able to resist the malarial poison, Hostetter's Stom- ach Bitters is incomparably the best and the most popular. Irregularities of the stomach, liver and bowels en- courage malaria; but these are speed lily rectified by the Bitters. The func- tions of digestion and secretion are assisted by it's use, and vigorous as well as regular condition of the system promoted by it. Constitution and physique are thus defended against the inroads of malaria by this match less preventive, which is also certain and thorough remedy in the worst cases of intermittent and remittent levers.

Nos Guilty.

The district court room was crowded today to hear the trial of Scott, indict- ed by the grand jury for attempting to murder V. H. Igo. Scott has spent few days in jail and persistently re- fused to talk about his case or to ems ploy an attorney.
 He demanded jury trial. The jury was drawn and satisfied him. w, H. Barnes handled the case for the prose- cution and brought forward number of witnesses to prove threats against Igo's life and an attempt to take his life, but he was worsted on every turn. The unasuming school teacher from the Huachucas proved more than match for the learned resident of Illi- nois.
 Scott took the witnesses after the prosecution was through with them, and when he was through with them the jury smiled. Scott objected to nothing. Everything went. He had no defense except what he got out of the ex-Judge's witnesses. The case was given to the jury. The eloquence of the one side contrasted with the apparent earnestness of the other, and the jury brought in verdict of not guilty after being out an hour. And the title of "war horse of the Huachu- cas" has been conferred upon the un- pretentious school teacher.
