A correspondent ot the San Fran cisco Chronicle speaks thus kindly of Yuma: The more a man visits Yuma the greater will be his fasci- nation for this quaint, sleepy town by the rushing waters of the river Colorado. I have before spoken about the picturesque surroundings, but each trip brings forward fresh- CT and newer charms, and the con- trast between the apatheticaily sem sible Mexican and the lively, go- ahead American grows daily stron- ger. Since the winter many inn provements have taken place brick buildings have suddenly sprung up and Protestant church has been built, while many other improve ments have been made, l have not the slightest hesitation in saying that Yuma has wondrous future before her. It seems heretical to say this, but the remarkable devel- opment which has taken place since I first came upon the Colorado des- ert strengthens my belief that here we have the early garden spot of America, and that it will not be very great while before the Colorado desert will be supplying the tables of Lond on grandees with fruits of unsurpassable flavor.

Desperate Indian Soldiers.

Sunday afternoon several Allan tic 6 Pacific trainmen and a few around Wingate station witnessed
 brutal crime perpetrated on an Apache Indian soldier of the Uni ted States by Navajo soldier. There were four NaYajos, wearing
 the uniforms of the regular army, with an Apache corporal, lettering around the station Sunday, and from thelr antics 1t was plain that they had secured whisky from some person and were therefore pretty drunk. About three o'clock Sun day afternoon the five Indian sol diers were sitting on the platform of the depot, when the Apache cor poral got up and walked back of the station. A Navajo followed in an opposite direction and when they met each other in the rear, the lat ter pulled out large knife, on the dirk order, and stabbed the Apache deep in the forehead. The Indian
 was so badly cut that he soon be- came exhausted from the loss of blood, but managed to crawl on his
 knees and hands to the front of the depot, when he fell at length on the platform. After committing the pheinous act, the blood thirsty Nav aio went back to his companions, evidently telling them what he had done, for aS soon the as the Apache was again on the platform and his life's blood streaming from the gap- ing wound, all four of the Navajoes went up to the body, raised his head, looked at the dreadful wound, and then let hls head fall back to the hard boards with a heavy thump. Evidently sutisfed with their work, the Navajos left the station, leav- ing the Apache lying at the depot. The two tribes are not atall in love with each other, and fired by mean whiskeythe Naval os took advan-
 tage of the lone Apache and con- cocted the scheme to kill him. The wounded Indian was not expected
 to live through Sunday night, but The Citizen has not been informed
 of his death.-Albuquerque Citizen.

HORACE GREELEY said: "We ere to recognize the worth and the use- fitness of the country press. It is probable that no class of men in the community do so much and ad- vantageous work for So little pay as the editors and publishers of the newspapers of the interior.

Home Again.


 Mark A. Smith and wife returned today from Washington. They are both in good health, and are grati- fled to be at home once more. Mr. Smith will remain here for a fort night attending to some business that has been neglected. He does not speak very encouragingly on the silver question. He thinks sil- yer will go still lower and that noth- ing can be done for it at the short session, owing to the hostility of the president who would veto it. Tbe conference, he thinks. will re- suit in but injury to the silver cause.
 The action of the land grant claimants in beginning suit in the district court he stigmatizes as an extraordinary proceeding, but one that he predicted when he opposed the land grantcourt bill in congress. He does not believe that they have any standing in district court and must be thrown out when the cases come up for a hearing The settlers will, however, be compelled to file answers, which will be an expense that they should in justice meyer have been compelled to stand.
 Mir. Smith called upon the attor- ney-general at Washington and called his attention to the necessity of a change of venue from the dis trict court at Tucson to another dis trict where the principal claimants were not connected with the ma- chinery of the court. The attorney general said that this could only be done upon the recommendation of the U. s. district attorney, in whose hands that matter rested.
 As for statehood Mr.Smith speaks most eneouragingly. He thinks there is no doubt but that the bill admitting Arizona will be passed at the short session which meets ln December. It has passed the House and has been favorably reported by the Senate committee and needs but to be called up and voted on. He has no doubt of it's passage and believes that by March 4th next we will have elected officers and don- ned the robes of statehood.-Pros- pector.

Double Killing at Geld Hill.

The crack of the deadly pistol, so handy in the hands of those on murder bent, is still heard in va rious sections of New Mexico. The Silver City Sentinel contains the following account of 8 double kill ing at Gold Hill, Grant county:
 Last Saturday evening Q Mexican shot and mortally wounded James Patterson, and Patterson after hay. ing been shot through the body, killed the murderer.
 Last week Idus L. Fielder, of this place, went over to Gold Hill on mining business in which he and MT. Pattersonwere interested. While there he was asked to make a speech on the silver question, which he did. As he was walking home with Patterson the Mexican stopped Patterson and asked him for some money which he claimed was due him. Patterson not knowing wheth- CT there was anything due him, told him he had no money, and then the Mexican asked him for some whis- key. Patterson went into the sa- loon and told the bartender to give the Mexican some whiskey and charge it to him, and then started home. The Mexican got the Whis- key and followed Patterson and Fielder. He overlook them and again asked for money, and was persistent in his demand. He fol- lowed them to the house and took hold of Patterson's coat, attempting to detain him, but at length both Patterson and Fielder got into the house. Then Fielder expressed a fear that perhaps the Mexican would steal the horses, which were in the corral. They both decided to go and look after them. but before they went out Fielder suggested to Pat terson that he had better take a gun. along. Patterson said that he did not have gun, and Fielder went to his yalise and gave him pistol. They went to the corral, where they found the horses.all right; but as they returned to the house they saw the Mexican ifr theTact of crawling in at one of. the windows.

THE San Francisco Evening Bull letin says the prices of meat in that market have greatly advanced of late, the advance in many instances being as much as thirty or forty per cent. The reason given in most cases is that there is scarcity of cattle and sheep. The Bulletin con- cedes that there has been a general reduction for some years in the meat resources of that part of the country. There is not so large a grazing area in California or tribu- tary to San Francisco as there was ten years ago, and buyers now go a greater distance for supplies. Hun dreds of thousands of acres form erly used for grazing purposes are now devoted to the production of the cereals while other thousands of acres are now planted with fruit trees

MT Edvord vondorl;n r;t;nr

Mr. Edward Vanderlip writing from Crittenden. makes mention of the fact that a Mexican boy named Carlos Rentera was bitten by a skunk at Greaterville of the 18th day of fJuly. and on the 9th of Aug. died in frightful convulsion at what is known as the PewsY ranch. Dr. Davidson, who attended the suffer- CT, pronounced it a clear case of hydrophobia. This would go to prove that the skunk is an enemy to be looked upon with as much hatred as the rattlesnake and it should be promptextermination for every one that snows up.-Citizen.

Deafness Can,t be Cured

By local appliances, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf ness is caused by an infamed condition of the mucous liningof the Eustachlan Tube. When this tube gets infamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by Catarrh) that we can not cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

steamer was between Hong-Kong and
Yokohama on the return trip to San
Francisco an imposing sight was wit

The great earthquake at Yokohama
had taken place short time previous,
and many of the islands in the Yellow
sea were in a state of volcanic disturb
ance. About o'clock on the evening of
Nov. the China was passing the Aleu-
tian islands, in Van Dieman's straits,
when suddenly the island of Succa
seemed all ablaze, and flames and lava
shot up to distance of 800 feet in the
air.
The steamer was twelve miles distant,
and the spectacle as seen from her deck
was grand. The night was dark and the
eruptions from the crater of the volcano
took place at intervals of about fifty Sec

nations which in the distance sounded
like bombs exploding, and after each
discharge of molten lava and flames the
burning fragments descended like sparks

The January number of the Forum,
has turned the light on the business
methods of the Louisiana Lottery COM
pany and for the first time has explained
in brief compass the workings of this
huge fraud. 1t appears that the total
amount of money taken in per annum
by the lottery, if all its tickets are sold,
is $2S, 100000 and the largest possible
amount that can be drawn by the hold
ers of the tickets is $14,000,O0O so that
the lottery puts into its own Golfers At
per cent of all the money it receives and
the sum, in years when there is good
run in the sale of tickets, amounts to
$4,000, 900 or more. No wonder the
company is able to buy up whole state
legislature and that it now has a ticket
of its own in the field with the hope of
renewing its charter for another twenty
five years.

The Salem grange has resolved that
Whereas, it is shown by national sta

that we are opposed to the credit system

ing in debt it is a step in the right dirsc-
ton. 1t is true beyond question that
ordinarily a farmer cannot afford to
work on a capital borrowed at the cur
rent rates of interest, but on the other
hand tens of thousands of western farm
ers have done so and succeeded. What
one has done another may do and no
resolutions passed by any meeting or as
sociation will stop men from borrowing
money or going in debt when there is a
fair prospect of successful outcome.

Curious Marrying n1istake.

At the parish church of Briefly Hill
on the borders of the Black country, q
curious mistake occurred few days
ago. A bridal party by some means oc-
cupied their wrong places, and the bride
was married to the best man, who was
engaged to marry her sister. During
the ceremony the bride had some idea
that the proceedings were hardly as they
should be, as the bridegroom stood be-
hind her and the best man, and handed
the ring to the latter. On the other
hand, the best man made the necessary
responses. Happily the error was dis.
covered before the register had been
signed and the ceremony was gone
through second time, care being taken
that the right man was welded to the
bride.-London Tit-Bits

A Cricket bowling machine.

Recently a patent bowling machine
for the use of cricketers, for practicing
purposes, was exhibited in England,
where the unerring aim of the mechani-
cal cricketer knocked out the middle
stump of the most expert batsman that
stood before it. The length of pitch, di-
rection and movement of the ball can be
produced within wide ranges with great
facility. The aim, sighted as after the
manner of marksmen, is regulated from
dial, and the ball, thrown from a re-
volving iron hand, is capable of bowling
over or under hand with great accuracy.
