ONE-HANDED STAGE DRIVER
Yet he Handles Four Horses with
Safety over Periious Roads.

Stage drivers in Arizona usually have
two hands. They are careful men, and
can guide big coaches and four or six
horse teams around perIlous places, but
as rule use two hands in doing it,
A one-armed dryer is reported from
Prescott. He, too, is careful man, like
wise guides big teams over dangerous
roads, but he only has one hand with
which to do it.
His name is Pete Collack. He drives
from Prescott TO Jerome, 80 miles,
ten of which is rough mountain road,
and four, around the horseshoe"
creeping close to the steep sides
of mountains over precipices 500,
600 and in places 700 feet to the
rocks below. Yet one armed Pete steers
lis coach and four as safely as though
he had never seen the army and had his
left hand TO grasp the rams. leaving his
right to swing the whip and "touch up"
the leaders when they might shirk their
portion of duty.
O. @. Eyster, Of this city, was passen-
ger on Collack's coach recently. From
his seat outside looking over the pre-
ciplce perilously close and so far TO the
bottom, and then alancing at the one
armed driver, be said:
"Pete, If you had just as lief, believe
I'll walk behind
"All right, sir, suit yourself"
The coach made the descent without
difficulty. Not having full confidence
In the brakes lock-shoe was put on.
Pete buckles his reins to the stump
of his left arm, amputated below the ell
bow, and cracks his whip with his one
the other reins and the coach joys safely
along.

The End.

The last act in the tragic event which
has been uppermost in the minds OF the
people for the past forty-eight hours
was completed this :afternoon. Never
before, perhaps in the history Of Tomb
stone was such general regret ex-
pressed at the loss OF citizen as that
expressed over the death of Howard
Herring; also the outside world cent
kilograms of sympathy from near and
far.
Between the hours of II and 1 o'clock
today hundreds OF those who had
known the deceased called at the resi-
.dence to take last look at his familiar
face.
The floral tributes were profuse and
beautiful. At the church every avail
able spot was occupied and the solem-
nifty of an occasion otsuch nature was
never more intensified. The simple bur
ial service was read by Rev. Z. h. NJ
gent. The choral music was feellngly
rendered by friends of the deceased who
had often joined them when IN fe IN a
more joyful strain. When the time ar
rlV61 LOT the removal Oh IHo Iomdlue
from the church, there was not dry
eye among the assembled multitude.
The pail bearers were Thomas Mon
Ter, George Myers, w. f. Stanton,
Ralph Smith, Arthur Gage, H. A. Gray,
W. @. Staehle, and F. G. Earle. The p.
o. S. of A, of whom deceased was a
member, marched IN a body to the
grave. The long line of carriages and
far in the rear some friends On horse
back. told that he had not been forgot
ten by those whose life on the range oil
in the mountains had been made bright
or on more than one occasion by his
presence around the camp fire.
At the grave the broken-hearted Ia
ther, mother and sisters OF the boy
they loved told a story OF suffering
which words could not portray. May
we ali live life as near as possible thai
will call forth from Our associates such
spontaneous tribute to worth, as the
death OF Howard Herring called from
this acknowledgements.

pisastroue Failure !

It's with feelings OF regret that we an
nounce the failure of hosts of people
troubled with inaction of the kidneys to
take efficient means to renew their ac-
tivity. This failure is most disastrous,
for complete wreck of the organs them
selves must eventuate if timely means
are not taken to re establish their sec
retive function Oh a basis of activity and
regularity. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
renews both, and prevents ultimate and
fatal disaster. As II is one OF the func-
tons OF the kidneys &c strain from the
blood, in its passage through them, i'm
purlties provocative Of drOpsy. rheuma-
tism and govt, an early impetus is all
the more needful to be gwen to their
operations when tardy or Intellectual.
The unmedicated stimuli of commerce
do not answer this purpose. Use the
Bitters for dyspepsia, malaria, constIpa-
ton and biliousness.

Board of Trade Meets and Acts Re-
garding It.

The 'jobber's tariff " order sent Agent
Burkhalter last night from San Fran
cisco is meeting the very hearty disap-
prevail of merchants of Tucson. The
order read:
SAN Francisco, Nov. 4.-On account
of complaints to the Board of Railroad
Commissioners of Arizona, 10 the effect
that our Tucson Jobbers Tariff of De-
cember 20, 1890. is an unjust discrimln-
alton in favor Of Tucson, said tariff is
withdrawn this date, Notify all inter
ested shippers. and. commencing 9th
instant, apply Distance Tariff between
points named. Q. +. SMURR."
The tariff rescInded by the foregoing
is from points out of Tucson to neigh
boring towns dependant upon the city
for wholesale supplies. A merchant
says that the increase of rate will be an
average of IT'S per cent.
A meeting of the board of trade was
called last night by President Thomas
Hughes, attended by about fifteen mer-
chants.
They at once took decisive steps.
The following telegram was forwarded:
&c. F. SMURR, Gen. Fri. Agt., S. P.
Co., San Francisco, Cal:
Tucson jobbers ask that order can
ceiling present tariff be suspended pend
ing full representation from them.
Great injustice and loss of business
would accrue by withdrawing tariff in
this manner. Answer.

Hoff and Adolf Goldschmidt was then
appointed to draught the full repreA
sentation of the case, to meet today.

The Ladies' Favorites.

By perusing the pages of the French
Fashion Journals republished in Eng
lish by -. Mcdowell & Co., 4 West 14th
Street, New York, it can readily be
understood how they have become "the
Favorites" with ladies'. Issued IN Paris
by different publishers, they are the
leading Fashion JoU rnals of the "Od
World" 1t is not, therefore, matter
for surprise that unbiased critics should
have pronounced them the best Fashion
Journals ever offered to the American
public. 1t would be strange, indeed, if
ladies did not give up the inferior Fash
ion magazines which they have hitherto
patronized for these handsome journals,
which are known to be month ahead
of all others in giving the styles, and
contain such valuable practical lessons
in the art Of cutting anG making dres-
ses. LA Mode de Paris and Album
DIES Modes" are rivals for the first place,
single copies being 80 cents each, or
So. 80 per annum. LA Mode" the Fam
lily Magazine, is only ID cents a copy, or
SL50 year. Do not allow news agents
to substitute inferior publications for
these, which can be mailed to you from
New York at the prices herein gwen.

The hotel proposition is progressing
swimmingly. The deed has not been
signed but is likely to be.
The finance committee of the city coun.
Gil and Captain FitzGerald met yester.
day and again this morning. The
desires of neither party were in exact
approval of the other, but a verbal agree
ment was made. The provisions Of the
deed in escrow will include:
The sanitarium will cost 100000,
and will be at least one story of brick
and stone. The judges as to the value
of the hotel being worth 100000 will be
the mayor of the city, the chairman of
the board of supervisors and a third
person selected by representatives of the
banks of Tucson. If the hotel burns
and is not rebuilt in two years the
plaza will revert to the city.

The repeal OF the j1bbers rate on the
recomendation-of the railroad commits
sion, will work sore hardships to the
merchants in this town and is without
compromising quality ito the merchants
Phoenix through whose exertions this
special rate is said to have been abol-
ished. The citizens of the Salt river
valley are entitled to and have a epecial
rate on hay and grain; this it is said will
also be done away with, as it is the pur-
pose of the railroad commission to see
that all sections of the country are
treated alike. We trust however, that
the board of trade will De hearkened TO
and the rate restored. There was no
good cause for is removal and we sim
cerely hope that tie railroad company
will see their way CLEAR to 3rs-estab
lishment of the old order OF things.

LOST HIS HEAD
A Miner who had a Miraculous Is.
cape from Death at Olive,

By "losing his head" a miner came
near losing his life at Olive Sunday
HIS escape seems miraculous.
He was in the Lolita mine, sinking,
and had made two three-foot holes. He
put in his powder and fuse, lighted it,
and started to ascend a rope dangling
from the bottom of the ladder eight feet
above.
Then came the strange part of the
affair. lie became bewildsred 10 his
haste to ascend, lost his hold of the
rope and fel! back, with the fuse grow
ing momeDtarily shorter.
His fright was awful. He might have
grasped the rope firmly again and es-
capped in time, or he might have pulled
out the fuse and ended it there, but in
his bewilderment he did neither, He
only yelled for help. The fuse shorten
ed anG still he yelled.
Bang bang!
1t was q very surprised miner who
found himself alive after those blasts.
All that saved him from being blown
utterly to pieces in that hole within
three feet of the blasts was that the
rock was very soft.
He escaped with only a few bruises,
and roaring in his ears.
Then he yelled again.
