Horse RaddiSh for Grippe.

An eastern woman sends the fol- lowing to a Chicago paper: I fec as though it were my duty to inform the many sufferers from cold, tn grippe and pneumonia-of my lit tie experience, which may prove valuable. I discovered members of our family frequently contracting cold, which, no doubt, is the fore runner of the grippe and pneumo- mia, and while suffering from a se- were attack, I partook freely of grated horse raddish with my food, which acted like a charm, furnish ing almost instant relief causing a cessation of the hacking cough, caused by irritation of the glands being almost entirely closed, and while am particularly fond of this edible. 1t is in my mind invaluable as an article of food, containing self-sustaiEing medical properties of great value. There is nothing that I know of which seems to per- meate the entire system so thor oughly as this simple article, horse raddish and this is no new theory, as I understand very many are us- ing it, and in England it is consid- ed of great value. After partaking of this vegetable one can feel through the entire system a renew ed energy, creating Q thorough cir culation of the blood, opening the pores throughout the entire sys- tenn.

Precious Stones.

A bulletin has been issued by the census department which gives Ari- zona a name for another industry which is yet in it's infancy. In speaking of garnets it says;
 These gsrnets. which are locally known as Arizona and New Mexi- co rubies, are the finest in the world, rivalling those from the Cape of Good Hope. Fine gems weigh ing from two to three carats and upwards when cut, are not uncom- mon.'
 As to the we'll known agatized and jasparized wood of Arizona, the bulletin says; "It is so much richer in color than that obtained from any other known locality, that since the problem of cutting and polishing the large sections used for table tops and other ornamental purposes was solved, fully s50,O00 worth of the rough material has been gathered, and oyer s1OO,OOO worth of it has been cut and polish ed. This wood, which was a very prominent feature at the Paris ex- position, promises to become one of our richest ornamental materi- als."

The Rivers of Arizona.

The grandest of all the rivers oi Arizona, whether we consider its volume, it's length or the extent of country which it drains, is beyond all question, the Colorado of the west. Indeed, except the Columbia, it is by far the largest river that flows into the Pacific Ocean.
 It takes it's rise in the Wind River chain of the Rocky noun tains, about 12,000 feet above the sea level, and, until it's junction with the Grand River in Southeast ern Utah, it is known as the Green River. From that point until it debouches into the Gulf of Califor- mia, it is called the Colorado. Its course is southwesterly until it reaches the mouth of the Virgin, when it turns its course almost due south and continues to flow in the same direction until it reaches the Gulf. Its other principal tributary is the San Juan, which joins it above the entrance of the Grand Canon. The whole length of the river is over 1,500 miles, and the area drained by it is computed to be larger than New England, Penn sylvania and Virginia combined. It is not good stream for commer- cial purposes on account of its channel continually shifting, al- though it is navigable for boats of light draught for about 600 miles. It drains the whole territory of Ari- zona, though within the limits of the territory it receives only two tributaries of any great size-the little Colorado and the Gila.-Ari- zona Review.

Down the Gila.

Two men arrived here last week who had accomplished the danger ous feat of navigating the Gila river from source to mouth.
 About year ago they started from Los Angeles in a wagon and went on prospecting trip through Southern Arizona and into New Mexico. About six months ago they sold their horses and wagon and started down the Gila in boat of their own making. Their start ing point was in the Black range New Mexico, where the Gila has it's source. They say the scenery in the caion of the Gila is nearly as grand as the Colorado caflons. They met with no special incident until the high water of the February floods began to come down. Their boat was upset and lost, but they built another and started on. In some of

the canons the waters rose to enor-
 nous heights owing to the narrow channel in which it was confined. The crockedness of the river makes it's total length about 800 miles, The men hunted and trapped on the way but met with only moder- ate success. They claim to be the first who ever made the trip in a boat the whole length of the riyer.-Yuma Times. s

 that his throat was on fire. A very few words explained the situation, a coupe was summoned, and, with the doctors aid he regained the ho- tel exactly twenty-four hours after he had left it for only "10 minutes. i" The anxiety with which he had mentally followed Olga's probable treatment of his peculiar actions prepared him for her flight.

 However, the first train speeding northward on Monday morning car ried with it not only the city papers with the thrilling account of the the dentists sudden death and the narrowing suffering of his unlucky patient, but also the chief hero of the drama himself.

Cattle Values Advancing.

A cursory glancee over our col
 umns by those who have cattle tc
 buy or cattle to sell, will convince
 them that there is grounds for be.
 lieving that for the next three ol
 four years cattle will bring good and profitable prices, certainly bet, ter than they have done in the last three. These statements of slack ening receipts at the leading stock yards and of representatives of the Big Four" and others, buying largely in the cattle raising states and territories instead of waiting for the cattle to come into the pens, are not made tor the first time this week. We have called attention to these facts weekly, for some time, as they occurred. The statistical situ a. tion, however, of cattle grows strong CT every week nothing can interfere with it except serious falling off in the export of live and dressed beef to Europe, (which there is lit tie or no likelihood. The advance in the price of meats to consumers would in some years undoubtedly interfere with consumption and have a depressing tendency on values. This year, however, the outlook for the whole United States is more than cheerful. For most localities the prospect is bright, cap ital will find remunerative invest ments, labor will find steady en- ployment at fair wages, and ag- riculturists in all lines will have fair to large crops and meet with good markets.
 It is time that cattlemen had a 1 good turn upwards for it has been down grade with them for some time.-San Francisco Live Stock Gazette.

Stock Notes.

The Las Vegas (N. M.) Stock
 Grower says: The demand for cat
 tie from California promises to
 clean up about all the saleable cat
 tie in northern Arizona and take
 considerable from the southern sec-
 tion, and at very good prices. Quite
 a number of representatives of
 coast butchers and feeders are now
 securing the territory.
 A. N. Goudey, who is acting for M. Schoenfeld of San Francisco. tells us that he has purchased about 2,500 head of steers-twos and up-
 ward-from Dr. Thornton and the
 Perrin Land and Cattle company.
 Prices, private. He has also pur- chased some 4,00O other steers. around Williams and Flagstaff, in CoconinO county. Cattle are to be delivered next fall.-Prescott Cou- rier.
 St. Louis, April 17.-T. T. D. An drews, Fort Worth, who represents syndicate of Texas and Kansas stockmen. is authority for the state ment that contracts are contem- plated under which the syndicate will control over eight thousand acres of land in Missouri. The idea is to keep cattle on western lands until two years old and then send them to Missouri for fattening on corn. This move has been forced upon the stockmen, owing to the action of the government in expell- ing them from the Cherokee outlet and other grazing districts.
 A Sioux City dispatch to the Omaha Bee says: The demand for stock cattle throughout the country surrounding Sioux City is very great, and increasing all the time. The high price of corn and other feed for the last few months fright ened farmers in northwestern Iowa and adjoining parts of Nebraska and South Dakota, SO that many of them sold and are now buying at advanced prices. Stock cattle are taken up by feeders as fast as they are offered for sale and at the high est figures during the year, prices having advanced $1 per 100 within a week.
 District Attorney Bunch, of Apa- che county, Arizona, came to So- zorro on Sunday last to look after tax matters interesting to Socorro and Apache counties. It seems that quite number of our cattle men have stock on the range that stray over into Apache county, and vice versa. In Socorro county they claim they pay taxes in Apache county: Arizona, and in Apache they claim to pay in Socorro coun- ty, and between the two they get lost in the shuttle and so escape taxation. His idea IS to put Q stop to-this bit of foolishness and col lect the taxes due in his county, and Socorro should do ihe same.- Socorro Chieftain.

 prisoner until the operation should
 be concluded. Look here, this il
 hardly necessary. I don't intend
 to kick" he urged.
 MT Warner, still grumpy at being
 detained beyond his usual time
 persisted that he would only pull the tooth out under those con. ditions. People always said be. forehand they were not going to move.
 "Oh, very welI," said Marshall, snappishly; "on;y do hurry up." He was in a fever of impatience to get back to Olga and wished he had never come.
 After preliminary examination, the dentist said: "Open your mouth" and upon being obeyed, he placed the customary wad to pre- vent it from closing during the ope- ration. Then he turned one of the gas branches to within foot of Marshall's face, and, being quite ready, he gave vent to surly "Now!"
 Marshall closed his eyes to prepare for the shock, but it seemed long in coming. Suddenly he heard a heavy body fall with thud on the floor. He opened his eyes-the dentist had vanished. He looked down, and there was the man lying on the floor flat on his back with a white, drawn face.
 "Great Scot !! Here's pretty go," thought Marshall, his first instinct to spring to the mans assistance being abruptly checked by the iron grasp of the patent chair. "Td bet ter yell out for help" he thought, forgetting the wad in his mouth.
 "Kk-k -k-krrP a prolonged gurgle, a fight between the tonsilS and the aggressive giant mouthful, ending fortunately in the latter's discomfit- ure, a struggle for breath and air, brought Marshall to the unpleasant consciousness that it was an inn possible to cry out for help as it had been for him to jump up and procure it.
 He kept still for moment. He had not yet grasped the gravity of his situation, but it was beginning to dawn upon him. The man on the floor still lay motionless. "Let me consider" thought Marshall to himself; "the first thing is how to get out of this beastly chair" He gave a vehement tug here, violent wrench there, strained every mus cle of his sinewy, athletic limbs with no apparent result but that of causing the springs to seem more tenaciously fixed than even they | were before.
 He glared at the dentists limp figure he did no feel in the least sorry for him. His one thought was Olga, and how to get back to her. He pictured her listening ex- pectantly for his footstep and inn agined how he could explain mat ters and how sympathetic and ten der her pretty eyes would grow. IL was useless to struggle any longer; somebody would pass the room soon, or come in; he would be freed very shortly. So he soothed him self for few moments.
 Soon heavy footsteps sounded on the stairs; voices became distin- guishable, Now it's all right" thought Marshall, immeasurably relieved ; II wish I could call out to them"
 Nearer came the voices. "Old Warmers not gone yet. There's a light in his office. Oh, Warner P shouted a voice, aren't you coming?" and a hand shook the door, which had n snrinr patent lock. also of

WILL NOMINATE TRIP.
Fusion of Parties to Land the
Democratic Chieftain.

OhAOA~S~AAA
Special to the Globe.
WATERTowN, S. D., Aug. 17.-The
death of Congressman Gamble has ere
ated stir i'll political circles in this dis
trict, and the special election to choose
a successor will prove pretty fight in
this state. Various candidates are al
ready in the field, and they are scOur-
ing the country fixing up fences for
nomination. The breach between the
Mellette and Pettigrew factions of the
Republican party will not be healed in
the struggle which is now on lin fact,
it will have a tendency to widen
out the fight between these
two leaders, which now outclaSses
the famous Chureh-Day fight i'll the
state Democracy. Local Democrats
here seem to think there is now grand
opportunity for seating the Democratic
chieftain, Bartlett Tripp, in congress,
and it is claimed by many that the In
dependents will indorse his nomination.
1t is we'll known fact that at the last
general election the Democrats in many
counties fused with the Independents
for the purpose of electing their
representatives, with the tacit un-
landing that they, in turn,
should support Tripp for United States
senator. There was a hitch in the pro-
gramme by which Kyle was elected by
the Democrats going to him, and it is
now conceded that the independent
strength will go solidly to Judge Tripp.
which, in Justice to the Democrats, it
should President LouckS, of the Farm
ers' Alliance, was here Saturday and
held conference with leading Demo-
Gratis, and it IS given out that he is
favorable to the election of Judge Tripp,
and that he will use his influence with
the Alliance for that purpose. Even
some Republicans here seem to, think it
foregoue conclusion that Judge Tripp
will be honored with the congressional
seat, and in the face of the bitter fight
within the Republican party it is not
improbable. The independents GER
tainly owe the debt to the Democrats,
and in the untimely removal of Con-
gressman Gamble there is an oppor-
tunity for them to do the square thing in
return for the Democracy's service
to them in electing United
States senator last winter Your
correspondent did not interview Mr..
LOucks on this subject While he was
here. but those who are authorized to
speak Alliance sentiment here are not
backward in giving out these facts.
The Independents will find in
Judge Tripp all the essential qualities
of a statesman, and his well known
ability and integrity assures them that
their interests will be better guarded in
his case than any other candidate who
might be mentioned, 1t is predicted
that the Democrats and Independents
will early unite in state convention and
tender him a unanimous nomination,
and in such event he will certainly rep
resent South Dakota in the next session

GOOD AND BAD CROPS.

From Other States.

Iowa Is Jubilant- Gloomy News
From Other States.
CEDAR RAPIDS. To-, Aug. 17.-Never
before has Iowa harvested such crop
of cereals as it will this year. The oat
crop especially is immense. 1t will
easily average 60 to 70 bushels and in
manyplaces go 100 bushels to the acre. In
addition to this, oats will weigh from
thirty-four to forty pounds to the bushel.
This great crop is causing railroad Off
cialS no little trouble. All the railroads
are building a large number of grain
cars in order to be prepared for the
business when the movement Of grain
sets in.
FORT DODGE, To-, Aug. 17.-The
farmers of Northwestern Iowa are be-
sieged by an army of agents of Eastern
elevators, commission houses, ETC., who
wish to contract for all the threshed
and unthreshed crops for September
and October delivery. Lower prices
than those of last year are offered
on the strength of the gen
eral bOuntiful harvest. Many Of
the farmers have thus sold their
crops in advance, but the majority have
heard of the shortage in Europe and
will hold their grain for higher prices.
1t is thought that the bulk Of the crops
in this vicinity will not be marketed
until a month later than usual this year.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 17.-In the CEN
tral and southeastern counties the
continued drought has rendered
the prospects for the fall
harvest extremely dlscouraging. In
most of the counties the pasturage is
burned up; potatoes and garden truck
are scared by the Warm,- dry winds, and
the ground is so baked that it is almost
impossible for a team to pull plow.
One correspondent says: II have lived
for more than forty years upon the farm
and it is the first summer hat | was
ever compelled to feed hay .ud pump
water for my stock" In the sst and
northwest counties the mo- stuIe that
was so fortunately stored il he soil
during the early portion of the ,easOn,
successful maturity, is now pretty we'll
exhausted. The corn and potatoes have
greatly felt tho drought during the last
week, and all fall crops have been rem
dered much less promising.
LANSING, Mich, Aug. II. - The
weather conditions for the last seven
days have been generally unfavOrable
to corn, potatoes and beans, the parched
condition of the soil and the warm wave
having materially injured these crops.
In the eastern and northeastern por-
ton of the state heavy rainfalIs have
done much to revive the crops, and
will greatly help potatoes in the north
ern section, where rain was badly need
ed. In the western part of the state no
rain has fallen and corn is curling up to
some extent. All sections need more
rain.
BELvIDERE, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-THE burn
ing sun has baked the ground until it is
as hard as a road. The corn is in the
milk. and the dry weather is shriveling
up both the ears and stalks. 1t is
doubtful if there will be quarter of

AN INSPIRED DENIAL.
France and Russia Have Not
Yet Signed a Secret
Treaty,
But Are Prepared to Form an
Alliance if Necessity
CompelS.
The Allied Fleets May Yet Be
Compelled to Attack the
Chinese.
Great Pressure EXepted to
Arouse the CelestialS to
Do Justice.

LONDON, Aug. 17.-The st. Peters
burg agent of Reuters Telegram com
pany has been furnished with the fol
lowing ''inspired denial" of tue report
that secret treaty has been concluded
between Russia and France. In this de-
NAL it is declared that neither Admiral
Gervais nor any other French or Rus
sian representative has signed or con-
cluded verbally any convention be-
tween France and Russia. 1t is also as
serted from the same source that no con
ferences have been held on the subject,
and that the we'll known ''rapproche-
ment" between France and Russia does
not date from the present time; but, it
is added. it was occOsioned long ago by
international circumstances rather than
by spontaneous desire of the powers
themselves, and that it has since con-
tinueG to grow closer. Continuing,
This Inspired Statement
says that the visit of the French fleet to
Cronstadt and the enthusiastic recep-
ton afforded to the French sailors only
served to SOlemnly confirm the good en-
tente previously existing, and to con-
vince by palpable proof the Frenchmen,
Russians and foreigners who still
doubted the existence of the entente.
The official denial also asserts that the
visit of the French fleet to CrOnstadt
had the effect of ripening the entente
to reach point that it can
be convered to an alliance, should
the conduct of the enemies of
France and Russia render formal
treaty necessary. But it is stated, i'll
conclusion, the alliance has not yet been
concluded, nor is it in preparation in
Paris or in st: Petersburg. Such pro-
ceedings, it is explained. would be su-
perfiuous, and might endanger the
peace of Europe. In conclusion, this
inspired statement says that it depends
entirely upon the governments and the
peoples forming the drelbund whether
the friendly relations existing between
Russia and France shall retain their
present simple status or resolve into a
stronger and more formal agreement.
