The Parent of AnsOln n ia.

The parent of insomnia or wakeful- ness is in nine cases out of ten, dys- peplic stomach. Good digestion gives sound sleep, indigestion in erferes with it. The brain and stomach sym pathizes. One of the prominent symptoms of weak state of the gas- tric organs is disturbance of the great nerve entrepot, the brain. In vigorate the stomach and you restore equilibrium to the great centre. A most reliable medicine for the purpose is Hos,elter's Stomach Bitters, which is far preferable to mineral sedatives and powerful narcotics which, though they may for time exert sopol fife influence upon the brain, soon cease to act, and invariably injure the tone of the stomach. The Bitters. on the contrary, restore activity to the oper- ations of that all important organ, and their benificent influence is reflected in sound sleep and tranquil state of the nervous system. A wholesome impetus is likewise given to the action of the liver and bowels by its use.

The supreme court held that contempt of court is confined almost exclusively to acts that interrupt tho business of the court. eve are passing upon a question of law as betw. en the rights of citizen and the power of the court summarily to imprison on a charge of contempt.

The new Tempe railroad bridge is expected to be finished this week and it is not probable that there will ever be another freshet that will destroy it, or if there should be we will not have much use for railroad bridge as it will require rise in the river of four or five feet above the great flood of February l9 of last winter which would destroy pretty much all the central part of the valley. The bridge is most substantial structure built in long spans that will permit an unOb- structed flow of water and drift,-HeI- ald

Fla mine Inn m incnt i'm Mexico,

The latest advices from the City of Mexico are to the effect that great deal of apprehension is felt in that country in regard to crop prospects. An alarming state of affairs exists in the principal grain producing districts, owing to long continued drouths, while in the state of Vera Cruz, where large crops were expected to be har. vested, heavy rains, which have fallen necessarily since the 18th ult. have caused the Papaloapam and San Juan rivers to leave lhe!r banks, and exten sive farming tracts along their banks are under water. All crops in corse- quence are reported to be a failure, and the situation in Vera Cruz is des- perate.
 .' Cotton has been heavily damaged, and the city of Tlcotalpam is threat ened. The rivers are increasing in volume and the people residing there fear a total destruction of the place. The crops between Tuxtepec and Om mattan have been swept away, and these two towns are under water, as are also four other town. The corn crop of Sotavento which promised large yield this season, is total loss and inundated for miles. Hundreds of cattle have been drowned. The fruit crop is a partial loss and if the flood continues every tree will be killed. Unless good drenching rain falls Tn the drouth stricken districts within the next three or four days a complete failure of the crops will re- suit, and famine stares the people in the face.

The story runs that about midday Monday, between here and Casa Grande, the Mexican was found by white man necking horses togeth- CT. The white man. whose name we are unable to learn, asked what he was going to do with the horses. The Mexican said they were his and that he was going to hitch up. The white man said he wouldn't hitch those horses up, that they were his. The Mexican persisted in taking the hors- es, and the white man being quick of temper and trigger simply poured hot lead into the thief.

Although this powder is very powerful, we were by no means confident that the explosion would have any practical effect upon the meteorological conditions. How ever about tea hours after the exp.ts- ion clouds gathered and heavy rain fell, extending many miles. We don't think the explosion actually produced the storm as they were not on large enough scale, but they were undoubt edly instrumental in p opagating the moisture which the clouds brought to that locality and greatly increased the intensity of the storm and amount of the rain fall which was grealest in the immediate vicinity in the place of op- eration.
