4 Skeleton and a Starving oIan Found in

The arrest of portion of the gang of
thieves which has been terrorizing this part
of the Territory for the past three years has
resulted in a ghastly find by the officers
who were searching for the headquarters of
the gang, say dispatch from Tishomingo,

was made on the partial confession of the
robber who was so severely wounded in the
battle two weeks ago. He thought he would
die and told the officers that startling evil

where the gang had its rendezvous. Follow

Although to some extent the excitement

and general feeling of interest as TO the re-
suit Of the meeting of the Directors of the
California Club on next Tuesday evening.
Divers opinions have been heard within

belief that a decision would not be rendered

game. The wind, however, seems to have
changed very recently from favorable to

ARGENTINE AFFAIRS.
Woeful Reports Of Poverty and Distress

New YORK, Feb. GA prominent COM
mercial house in this city has received in
letters from its agents in Buenos Ayres an
account of the true state of affairs at the
capital of Argentine Republic Extracts
of the letters read: Recently we have had
two or three revolutionary scares and we

Building has stopped and partly con-
strueted houses are to be seen in every

work The most striking monument to the
present financial condition of the munich
palitv is the new avenue which is being
opened through the center of the city. This
work has been carried on in sections, and
now, ON account of lack OF funds, further
progress is suspended. 1t is quite lmp0s-
sible for you to get any correct idea OF the

extent of millions of dollars, and which has
been admitted by themselves, could any
longer hope to enjoy any real support from
the people, but such is the case. | heard a

ARIZONA FARM LANDS.
What Irrigation Has Done for Agriculture
in Tho Tarritnrrr

in the Territory.
WASHINGTON, Feb. %. - The Census
Bureau announces 1857 irrigated farms in
Arizona, having total area of Co. S21 acres.
The average cost of the land. including the
purchase price, fencing, blowing and water
right, is SIG 81 per acre, of which 81 05
represents the cost of the water-right; and
the average valuation placed upon the land
by the owners is SIS IS per acre, including
buildings. The average annual cost of
water is 81 30 per acre, and the average
annual value of farm products is SIS 90 per
acre, ranging from SO % in Marlcopa to S31
in Yavapai County. The acreage now under
irrigation approaches the maximum possible
with the present water supply and methods
of utilization; but the conservation of flood
waters that now annually run to waste
would largely increase the area susceptible
of successful cultivation

Wlntar caro- of stook.

A great deal of cruelty is thought
lessly inflicted upon the animals in
wintering them. Sheep are the only
domesticated animals that do not re-
quire careful wintering in well-pro-
tected barns or sheds. Nature has
provided them with a covering in
their pclts and neeces which defies
storms and winds. Too close contine-
ment Of sheep, however, engenders
the rot, which often reduces the flock
to ono-half its original size. The open
range is necessary for the health and
comfort OF these animals, but some
sort OF protected shed or pen should
also be provided for them so that they
can 90 under it II they choose. But
more harm is done among sheep in loo
close confinement than In letting them
have the full benefit OF an open range.
The mich COWS and horses, however,
are not thus protected by nature, and
they must have good attention In the
winter. Enough has been said about
tight, warm and well-vetilated barns
and stables, but there Is another kind
OF protection which the stock need.
On fair, cold days they do not want to
be cooped up in the barns. but should
be allowed to get some OF the sunshine
and fresh air. Exercise Is conducive
TO their health. and the more they can
get out OF this the better will their
health be preserved. Colts especially
should be kept outside until they are
thoroughly broken, and daily exercise
Is absolutely necessary for their we'll
being.
Out stock should have some sort OF
shelter to 60 to at any time, and yet
be able to get fresh air and race about
freely. A rude shelter Of corn stalks
and wheat straw can easily be made

bread -four with yeast.

Lamp chimneys may be cleaned by
holding them over the steam from a
teakettle. and then rubbing them with
soft cloth. Polish with newspaper.
Ribbons and other silks should be
put away for preservation in brown
paper. ms the chloride OF lime used In
manufacturing white paper frequently
produces discoloration.
Iron rust may be removed from
marble by taking one part OF nitric
acid to twenty-five parts OF water ard
applying 1t carefully to the spots.

steel with sweet oil; In day or two
rub with finely powdered unslaked
