this brief note:

Horrors, what an obscure hand
you write - said the literary editor
to the new space writer as he turned
in bit of poetry.
"Oh, its plain enough. :" inter
iected the poet hastily. "The
rhymes and the meter will help the
compositor out, and therc'll not be
the least bit of trouble il they just
follow copy"
And the manuscript went hust.

room.

burst of Precipitation from his fore

Well, Chinese or no Chinese"
cried the hurrying foreman, "make
whatever you can out of it and snag
it up in mighty short order, for
we're late now"
Aud the type fairly jumped from
the case into the stick.
"Good Caesar - gasped the
proof'reader, 5lutching at his brow.
" Are my eyes failing or is this u
pcmonition Of nervous prostration?"
Then he rubbed his eyes and stared.

THE DISEASES or SHEEP.

II is apparent, from information
received at this Station, from many
sections Of the State, that the
diseases and parasites Of sheep are
upon the increase. and il is very
desirable that all flock owners
should give this subject their care.
lul attention at this time Of the
year. BY go doing, many thou
sands Of dollars Will be saved TO the
State during the next year, and the
trouble checked, which bids fair TO
annoy sheep owners for years if
there is not careful attention be-
slowed upon it.

AN exchange says There is quite demand in certain sections of the south for the carcasses of freshly killed dogs to be used for food by a certain class, A number of negro wagoners will use no other kind of meat when they car geta carcass of fresh fat dog, When they are dress ed and hung up you would take the meat to be that of rabbits. They are particularly fond of fat puppies and pronounce them delicacies. They claim that dog meat is partic- ularly wholesome for consumptives, and ons man says that some seven years ago he was given up to die from consumption, but was cured by eating dog meat.

las, Texas, packing company has
 been incorporated a wealthy citi'
 zen of Shreveport, La, will soon erect a packing house at thai place at cost of $50,OOO. and a plant is now being built at Nashville, Tenn, at cost $175,0O0, which is expect ed to afford a market for all the cat tie and hogs within reasonable reach. Every local packing plant increases the number of buyers in the market, lessens the flood of stock in the central market places, and effects a material saving in freightage. The salvation of the cattle feeding industry undoubtedly lies in the establishment of packing plants wherever centers of popula- ton and transportation facilities will make them self-sustaining, and the dressed beef combine will allow them to exist.

HERE is the way an exchange dis cusses the Sunday closing of the Worlds Fair: Some persons want the Worlds Fair closed on the Sab bath. If this was done according to every mans notion of the Sab bath the result would be perpetual Sabbath. The Greeks observe Mon- day, the Persians Tuesday, the As syrians Wednesday, the Egyptians Thursday, the Turks Friday, the Jews Saturday, the Christians Sun- day. The better way is to keep the fair open every day and the people can attend or not, just as they please, when their Sabbath rolls around. The Worlds Fair is not supposed to bs a religious gather. ing or gotten up for the special edi- fication of any one nationality. It is for the christian and sinner alike and neither need attend on certain days if they don't want to.

News comes from the Hillside camp that a fine body of ore has been struck in one of the mines ol the Seven Stars group. This ore was tapped in the new lower level. known as the drain adit or No. 4 and is one of the most important developments yet made on those fine properties, as it proves that the ore holds out undiminished in quantity and quality as depth is reached on the vein. Every foot oi development work on these pro perties is proving the accuracy oi first estimates made of the value of ore in sight and that to be ex- posed. The camp is and will be known as the Hillside, while the mining group is now known all over the world as the Seven Stars. Hill. side is growing village, and the camp promises to be great feeder to Prescott, the mining hub.-Pres- colt Courier.

An Outrage.

Jesus Morales is ia jail; and all on account of Bill Mckinley; Nc. Kinley's Bill.
 And who is Jesus Morales?
 He is the son of Don. Jesus Nor. ales, senior, of Ures, Sonora, one of the oldest and most respectable families in that country.
 And what has Jesus Morales done to get himself into jail.
 We'll. he mounted his horse and rode across the line to visit his wife in Tucson, who is near her confne- ment, and now staying with her father and mother the highly re- spectable family of Don. Manuel Zepeda, we'll known to many of our citizens, but Jesus Morales, who had often crossed the line before, with out any introduction to Bill McKin- ley-neglected to either stop and pay thirty dollars, which is the duty on horse, or to obtain a permit to go and return. The consequence is that Jesus Morales was introduced to Uncle Sam, when he reached Tucson, his horse and saddle taken from him and confscated, and he himself, fined fifty dollars, and be- cause he had not the money to pay, he was thrown into jail to herd with criminals-Jesus Morales is not smuggler, but respectable young rancher, and he and his friends are without money, because he cannot bring oyer any cattle to sell here; :; the duty on them being itself, more than they will sell for, and in this dry season they cannot be sold for cash in Sonora; at any price. A lawyer of this town is going to try to get him out of jail, or burst a trace in trying to get him out.- Tucson Star.

Engineer corps, that was not first submitted to the U. S.. Engineers, examined, surveyed and a favorable report made upon it; and that he did not understand how it was pos sible for it to be done, until he learn ed of the efforts of Abe Frank, through his friends, U. $.

A .E. Macdonald of Toronto was a lieutenantin the Canadian militia. He went to Boston to lecture. In his lecture he avowed himself an annexationist. Then a Canadian Tory newspaper bounced upon him as an agitator for the British En- pire and disgrace to the uniform. MT. MacDonald's name has been stricken off the list of Canadian militia officers.

Shooting at Mineral Park.

News reaches us as we go to press of a shooting scrape at Mineral Park in which two men were wound ed, one of them seriously. The par ticulars, as near as we can ascertain, are substantially as follows:
 Clarence Emmerson, Hebe Lar sen, Henry Rudolph and a stranger by the name of Robinson were standing at the bar in Andy Schrope's saloon shaking dice for the drinks. Rudolph lost and in- stead of paying for them, walked over by the stove, whereupon Andy Schrope's, who was tending bar, call ed in rather forcible language to "rut up." Robinson told Schrope he would pay for the round rather than have any disturbance, and in reply, Schrope, who was considerably the worse for liquor, insultingly said, "What business is it of yours, you d-n s-of a b-i Who the hell are you, anyway?" "Emmerson then spoke up and told Andy not to insult Q friend of his, as in so doing he insulted him. The next second, Schrope, without warning, jerked a six-shooter from behind the bar and struck Emmerson over the head with it almost knocking him down. Enmerson ran out of the saloon and returned moment later with Q six-shooter and both men commenced firing at one another. Six shots were exchanged one of which took effect in the feshy part of Emmerson's thigh in the region of the femoral artery. Rudolph was also shot in the thigh and his wound is thought to be dangerous. No one can tell how Rudolph was shot, but it is thought a stray bull let from Schrope's revolver inflicted the wound. Both the participants in the deplorable affair are we'll and favorably known and tbe ac- tion is deeply regretted by the en- tire community. Andy Schrope is an old timer in this section and has always been a reputable, law -abid- ing citizen. Further intelligence may give the affair a different com. plexion entirely.
 Emmerson was brought to town and his woundsidressed by Dr. Dean. after which the doctor went over to Park and as far as possible made Rudolph as comfortable as circum- stances would permit.

A more cheerful feeling has taken possession of the stockmen at the yards. Late rains have filled up the stock ponds and dry creeks and helped late pastures, and that it is now known that Kansas will raise as much if not more corn than last year, and thatit is being contracted much cheaper than expected is giv- ing new hope to feeders, and the number of cattle that will be fed in Kansas this winter will doubtless now be much larger than expected few weeks ago. With corn at 25 to 30 cents a bushel, and stockers at 50 cents per cwt. lower than a year ago, cattle feeders are begin ming to think again that there is still some money to be made in the business. And it is getting suffi- ciently frosty to kill any Texas fe- yer germs that may be lurking around.-Kansas City Journal.

The Navajo Indians.

Washington, November 2,-The only information received at the In dian bureau of reported trouble among the Navojos of New Mexico and Arizona, is contained in the following message from Fort Def. ance, Ariz; "Hon. Commissioner. I started with my interpreters and wagons to Round Rock, where I had promise of twenty-five to thirty children from the Navajos. On the way north with two police, I went to the Carcas Mountain district, and when in that district a mar who claims to be the chief, advised me that thirty or forty men came to me and insisted that I must not take any of the children to the agency. l stated to Black Horse, that sooner or later they might be compelled to send their children to school. Then he immediately be- came angry and jumped on me and with the assistance of ten other of his men, he forcibly took me out of the store, intendingto kill me, when some friendly Nayajos and my po- lice, tore me away and hurried me into the store. At the same time one of my scouts was assaulted and beat en up to such an extent that fears are entertained for his recovery.
 After the fracas was over, Black Horse and his followers threatened to kill my staff of interpreters, Chee, MT. Hubbell and Charles Mitchell, unless I promised not to ask for any more children in that section or in any other part of the reserva- ton, and after considering the crit ical situation, I acceeded to their

 Placer miners who have been pil- ing up dirt along our various streams and their various tributaries waiting for water, are now reaping a rich harvest. Most of these miners have their sluice boxes fixed and every thing in readiness, and when water does come, the dirt is shoveled into the boxes and the gold caught on the rifles as the rushing stream washes the lighter dirt and debris on. Jack Ferris, who owns a placer mine on tributary to Lynx creek, had worked all summer piling up the rich gold-bearing dirt near his sluice boxes, and stood, shovel in hand, ready for operations when the first rush of rain water came down the gulch.-Prescott Courier.
