what an awful wreck Of a world"
The Citizens bronzed complexion kept its
healthy color and his hair the unruffied
gloss of its short W hite curs. He stood in
an easy attitude and spoke as if imparting
some piece of secret and highly important
but not especially distressing intelligence.
His hands did not withdraw themselves
from serene repose in his pockets. His great
furred overcoat-I had caught him on the
steps-was mistaken by any throes. The
Citizen looked unusually at peace and we'll

be going wrong with the system of things
Come and sit down." he said ''and I'll
put the situation before you. Then do you
write out the truth as | give it 10 you, and
the editor Will red pencil it and blue pencil
it, and if you are paid on space you wont
get enough out of ii to buy a cup of coffee
There is only one step that could bring about
genuine editorial reform and that is the
abolition of editors"
The hotel parEors were crowded. but the
Citizen found two chairs by a window over
looking Broadway. Here we spoke in low
tones like two consplratOrS, and a couple of
lovers wondered at us and an old gentleman
frowned over his newspaper. A baby tum-
bled into the Citizens hat beside him on the
floor, and the Citizen patted her head and
sail:

A Dishonest JeweIer Gone.

George Axling, jeweler at $50 Kearny

addition to his own personal attractions,

Dicky-his friends all called him Dicky-

Gibraltar, and that name itself was impoS-

place. His cognomen was that of a famous
character in a famous play by famous
English dramatist (Acres, The Rivals"
SheTidan), and besides it was known that
Dicky had studied five years for the priest

A Beaf story.

Troop l reports plenty of deer ard
 bear in the Huachucas. Lieut.. Sar- gent and Private Parker put two shots into the head of a monster bear. They discovered him sound asleep and when within sixty yards, sent bullets into his head. The surprise to that bear, from all account, was something immense; he sprapg into the air, tore through tree and jumped down the rocks and rushed down the noun, ain, discounting the speed of race horse. Anyone can get bet out of Sargent that an 1900 pound bear, shot in the head, can beat the record of any race horse on earth. We don't believe the lieutenant was scared, for he is not that kind of man, but he had a rev. e'atinn on the immensity, propensity and propulsiye energy of wounded bear.
 Private Hoppe shot another one at nearly the same time, in the same To- calitv, and wounded him badly; he tracked him a long distance by his blood, but neither party bagged their game.-Huachuca Sentinel.

 Fairbank ice works are flying thick and last today and there was decided rush 10 see who would get there first. P B Warnekros secured about 30 barrels'of beer which was driven up this morning and un'oaded at his place in Tombstone. The cause of the collapse is due to the low price of ice and the fight between the Fair. bank and Tomtstone factories for trade. Both companies have been los- ing money. The Fairbank factory is mortgaged to Ben Williams for $2,OOO and another mortgage was put on it this week for $2,0O0 more, E Lenor- mand taking the paper. Beside the S4 900 secured the liabilities are said to reach $2,0OO more.

President Harrison it will be remembered told Cardinal Gibbons frankly, that while not dis posed to interfere in chuch matters, he was glad to have an opportunity of expressing satisfaction al the publish. ed remarks of the cardinal on the sub j"ct, and at the rebuke administered at home and abroad to foreign interfer- ence in domestic affairs of the United States. The presidents views, it is announced from the vatican, produc- ed an excellent impression upon the pope, who declared he has never fay- ored the plan of appointing bishops of all natiOnalities of Roman Catholic communities in the United States as advocated by Herr Cohensby and Strnphael Societies.

The Yuma Sentinel this week is filled with interesting news concern ing the lake, and III indications go to show rapid increase in the volume of water flowing into the desert
 Last Friday n ght Jose Chimisiwi the famous indian runner arrived at 3 o'clock. He says another big stream has broken through the rim near Big Holes and runs into the Patton river ner the Great Bend and that the great outbreak in the Cason creek is increas ing in size. This comes under ground from Big Holes.
 An immense body of water comes up from the ground at the latter place which is clear and cool The Indians take a grea. interest in the overflow and are continually going and coming brings the news as fast as any new developments are made.
 One old Indian about a century old whose memory dates back 85 years, says that such thing as the present break never occurred in his time or that of his fathers. The lakes and rivers are full of fish and some of the lakes are very deep The water is making rapid headway in widening and deepening the channel from the river to the lake.
