Saved From Horrible Death.

A Mexican woman, the wife of a sec- tion hand at Ogilby, was bitten last Thursday night by a species of small rattlesnake locally known as the side wiper" and would have died but for prompt assistance. She was engaged Tn putting her three young children to bed when the reptile struck her on the left ankle. The three cars of quaran- tined railroad passengers were at Ogilby that night and on hearing of the wo- mans misfortune some of them deter mined to save her life if possible. The nearest physician was 16 miles distant at Yuma. MT. J. O. Dunbar, editor of the Phoenlx Gazette, took the matter in hand, and tried to induce the wo- mans husband to suck the poison from the wound. He was afraid to do so, and then Mir. Dunbar bound silk hand kerchief around the womaI's leg below the knee and twisted it tightly with stick. One of the passengers had bot tie of whisky ard the woman was kept under the influence of the liquor. Dr. COtter, the quarantine officer, arrived the next morning and by that time the woman's leg was perfectly black below the bandage. She doctor at once lanced the black portion in about 30 places, the poisoned blood ran out and the lance cuts were washed with dilute acid. The patient was brought=to Yuma and soon after the poison began to show itself above the knee. The same treatment was again resorted to with good results. The woman will recover and retain her limb, whereas it was at first thought it would have to be amputated.

The Athletic Association.

This institution brought into life 80 vigorously but couple of months ago with such bright outlook and so many promises of success is upon a solid financial basis but IS unable to find suitable building location. They were unable to obtain the Cosmopolitan Hotel building, so they tried tn secure Levin's nall, but that building was leased until Jan. l. The building for merly occupied by the post office wss then sought after. but it proved to be under lease to J. W. Canning. The as sociatiOn then tried to secure Loner- gan's building, corner of Meyer and Congress, but failed to secure the same. Julius Goldbaum offered to build a suitable building on vacant lot of hls in the northern portion of the city put the location WAS not satisfactory to the club. It is but reasonable to presume that some one will erect a desirable structure to lease for this purpose as the rent offered is of a very desirable amount.

PhautOms,

The hopes of cure held out in the advertisements of numberless remedies are mere phantoms, without the slight est shadow of reality about them. On the other hand, no statement has ever been made in behalf of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters that is not susceptible of ample substantIation. Care has ever been taken in laying its claims before the public to circumscribe those claims with the pounds of truth. Allegations outside of these form no blot on the record of this sterling, time-honored remedy, proven by the most respectable
 evidence to be a remedy for and proven tive of malaria disease, rheumatims kidney trouble, chronic indigestion and bilIousGess. It is sn heffably fine tonic, promotes convalescence and mltigates the infirmities of age. Taken before retiring at night it is promoter of sleep

The Republican Outlook.
J KNOX CoRBETT,
 P. NJ.

From present indications the nomina- tions tomorrow by the Republicans will make as clean ticket as was ever placed before the people by that party in Cochise county. The candidates who have announced themselves have not hid their lights under bushel but have challenged the delegates who will name the tickt to carefully scan their past lives and theIr fitness for the office to which they aspire. A man who Is afraid to stand before the public and ask for a nomination is hardly the one to be trusted, and where everything else is equal the still hnnter should be caved down the bank. For county officers the convention has abundant good material to select from, among those who in a manly way have come to the front, and to make a strong, acceptable ticket for comparision by the voters with their atagonists, the convention should not go outside this list to make selections. Any other plan will smack of unfairness and only weaken what at present looks like strong ticket.-Prospector.

The New Election Law.

Some of the Arizona newspapers are evidently getting the California election Jaw mixed up with the one passed by our Sixteenth Legislature. The two laws are alike in principle but differ as to detail. California furnishes stamp for marking names to be voted, and mark made by anything else is void. It also provides a black for straight" tickets, which our law does not. The Arizona law allows the mark ing to be made with either pen or pen- cil, and each office to be voted for has to be marked. The following paragraph from section B of the law is explicit: "On receiving hIs ballot the voter shall forthwith and without leaving the poll ing place or going outside of the guard rail, retire alone to one of the booths not occupied by any other person and prepare his ballot by marking in the proper margin or place cross (X) op- posite the name of the candidate of his choice. Before leaving the booth, the voter shall fold his ballot lengthwise and crosswise, but in such a way that the contents of the ballot shall be con- cealed and the stub can be removed without exposing any of the contest of the ballot, and shall deliver the same so folded to the election officer" ."-Times.

THE CITY COUNCIL.
Met at the City Hall Last Night.-A
 Very Interesting Meeting.
Speeches by Gov. Murphy, Seiim RI. Franklin and L. c. Hughes. MT. Cole of Phoenix, Also Pre-
 sent,

The meeting that took. place last
 night at the City Hall in the presence of full council was a very interesting
 meeting, inaemuch as it involved ques-
 tions that were of paramount impor- tance to the future of the city. The gist and substance of the meeting was that the previous water and sewerage proposition to the city council be with drawn and new one substituted there for. The present proposition did not include the sewer but did the water proposal, with many notifications from the one submitted prlor to the council. 9 years of a coatract instead of 50 years was one feature. Then a reduc- tion ln charges for water in comparison to the other proposal. The sewerage was not discussed but was postponed until the 10th.
 Governor Murphy, the popular gov ernor of Arizona, was present and made known his great interest in the welfare of Arizona Tn few well chosen remarks. He claimed that Tucson was the sani- tarium of the southwes and that such would not be denied but that great achievements and vast results in this line would be brought to and early consummatien through that great and all important factor-water, and he heartily approved of a move in that direction if Tucson desired to realize those glowing pictures of the future that Arizona had so long painted ID the past. The governors remarks were well chosen and met with universal ap- proyal Mir. Sellm Franklin likewise used some good logic and first-class argument in behalf of plentiful and we'll developed water supply. Mr. L. c. Hughes likewise addressed the meeting in reference to the great bene- fits to be derived to this city and vicini- ty by starting out on campaign of water developments that would place the city beyond the possibility of future need Tn that direction.
 The council then adjourned to meet again on the 10th. The meeting was by unanimity of action and a disposition to place the future where she ought to be-In the lead.

That Dear Old Word, Good-by.

It mighty sad one when it is the part ing snlutatiOn between friends whom thousands of miles of. salt water are about to separate. Mariners, buyers in foreign lands for heavy houses, com mercial travellers who have made many trips across the stormy Atlantic, think little of an ocean voyage, but to the first voyager the initial trip is a momentous affair. Sea sickness is to be expected as matter of course. How to prevent it? The finest remedy and preventive of the nausea provoked by the tossing of yes sel. the jarriDg motion of the screw of a steamship, or of locomotive train, is Hostetter's Stomach Btiers, pronounced by sea captains, ship doctors, tourists, travellers and emigrants the finest stom- achlc and best defenss against ailments of the bowels, digestsve organs and liver in existence. Malaria, rheumatism, kid ney trouble and debility are rsmsdied by it.

A Broken Reed Indeed.

This, and no mistake, is the Individu- al whose stamina has waned to such low ebb, for want of sufficient tonic, that he would certainly topple over and fracture something if a bulky subject such as fat wife, for instance, were to lean upon him. Build up, ye lean, pith- less and streDgthless with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which will enable you to eat and digest heartily, and thus ac- quire flesh and vlgor. The fortress of life will speedily capitulats to the grim scythe-wielder, death, If you don't. Nervousness, sleeplessuess, Oiliousness, constipation, malaria, rheumatic and kidney trouble are all concura5le by this restorative of health and vigor. In connection with the use of the Bitters, it would be we'll for the debiliated to study the wants of hls enfeebled stomach with a view to the selection of tEe most dIgestible articles of diet.

The Lost Pegleg Mine.

Another expedition has started on 6 search for the lost Pegleg mine, for which hundreds have braved the terrors of the desert and many have died on its burning sands. On Thursday of last week, according to the San Diego Un- ion. Messrs. Converse and Grigsby left Campo prepared for an extended explor- ing and prospecting expedition. Mr.
 Converse has been trapping and hunt ing on the desert, ard up and down the Gila and Colorado rivers for years, and has been very successful as an explorer
 From his experience and observations he is of the opinion that he knows just where the Pegleg mine is located. He says that the three little buttes which Pegleg Smith described are in low basin in depression in the desert and cannot be seen until one approaches them very close. He said before start ing that he had been on one of them and that it was covered with volcanic glass. The middle one has yellow, chalky ap- pearance about half way up, and on the summit it is quite black. In his opin- Ion this is where Pegleg found his gold, it being the highest of three and one which a lost person would naturally climb to take observations. The expe- dition will investigate that portion of the desert which has never been explor- ed. Mir. Converse having passed through the locality in about during the over flow into Salton sea.-Phoenix Herald.

The District Must Pay.

The somewhat cele brsted case of Mrs Caroline Rem bert against Yuma school district has been decided in her favor. The amount involved IS in the neIghbor- hood of Sl000. Mrs. Rembert taught the school one term and was engaged for another. After teaching on the se- coud term few days she was informed by the trustees that here services were no longer required, and the term was finished by another teacher.
 Mrs. Renbert sued for the amount which would have been due to her for the whole term and won the case in the court here. The district appealed and the Supreme Court has just affirmed the decision of the lower court. There IS now nothing for the district to do but pay the whole amount and costs. This makes rather a costly experience in diseharging teacher.-Yuma Times.
