Eighty American Women.

THE recent shooting at Yokohama will
be striking proof to the Japs of the SUI
periority in culture and civilization
claimed by America and England

THE Hetherington shooting at Yoko-
hama seems to be another case of good
radiance. The male flirt who was re-
moved by Lieutenant Hetherington will
not be seriously missed except by lit
tie coterie of creatures of his own class.
Minneapolis Tribune.
THE shooting OF Abeille by Deacon
and Robinson by Hetherington empha-
sizes the good old lesson that if a man
wants a wife it's safer in the long run
to get one of his own rather than to fool
with the wife of the other fellow

THE giddy American wife has become
an international celebrity. The tragedy
in Yokohama follows the lines of that in

EATEN UP BY ANTS.
Stockman Withers' Horrible Death mt the
Hands of Mexican Bandits.

Tombstone A. T., dispatch; the Indians
have always been known for their devilish
ways of torture, but it has remained for
band of Mexican bandits to cap the climax.
"Dutchn Henry's band of horse thieves
raided Henry Withers' ranch on the Garrita
River recently, driving away all his stock.
Withers started after the band single
handed and succeeded In shooting down
three OF them from ambush before they
discovered that only one man was pursuing
them. They succeeded in capturing him as
he was trying to get away, Death was his
sentence; but shooting was too easy a
death Withers was taken out on the hot
sand-beds and left to lie naked for six
hours, fully exposed to the suns rays. This
was not enough, and he was then carried,
still nude, to bed of cactus bushes,
where he was laid on the sharp points. He
was bound tightly to a stake, and then q
large ant hill, which was near, was torn
open with sticks and he was left to his
fate. The insects swarmed out and over
Withers' body, and within two hours he
was dead from their bites. The ants did
not leave him alone, however, until every
particle of flesh was eaten from his bones.

r. G. Dun & Co. IS weekly review of trade
says:
Business indications arc not quite so
clear. There Is, on the whole. less evidence
OF improvement In distribution, and yet
the prospect in the great industries seems
brighter. The movement of grain and cot
ton falls off, and the sharp decline in prices
is felt in many quarters, but the tone
In the iron, WOODEN, cotton, and shoe
manufactures is rather improved. The
money markets are abundantly sup
piled. With unusually conflicting signs the
confidence which prevails In business or
cles is still undated. But for the uncer-
tainty how far foreign relations will affect
money and business here, the general con-
fdence In the future of trade would seem
to be justified. The business failures oc-
curing throughout the country during the
last seven days number 231, as compared
with totals of 240 last week For the COR
responding week Of last year the figures
were 256.

They Strew the Arizona Plains from the
Long Continued Drought
Thousands OF dead and dying cattle are
lying all over the vast plains to the north
east OF San Joseph, A. t., as the result OF
the long drought in that part of the Terri
tory For months the clouds have refused
to bring water. and every water course In
that whole section is dry, and the ground is
so parched that the grass OF the plains Is
dried to such an extent as to be devoid OF
nourishment and in no condition to stand
the storms which sweep across the plains
with severity which Is not felt In the
Northern countries. 1t is estimated by
cattlemen that not less than ten thousand
head of cattle have persisted within the
last six weeks. and unless there is a heavy
rain within the next week there will not be
a single head left Of the vast herds which
ranged over that section.
