 TOMBSTONE, Ariz., May l2.-At D. m. the funeral cortege of James Haskell, one of the oldest citizens and one who obeyed the laws of God and man and respected society, quietly wended it's way to the cemetery, the City of the Dead.
 James Haskell, an unmarried man, was this morning found dead in his cabin, having died of rheumatism of the heart," as 1 am informed. He was plumber by trade and followed that calling here for many years, and died a poor man but not without friends. A prosperous merchant of this city, George II. Fits, and other friends saw to it that the funeral was one with all the modern equipments, embracing the choicest of flowers and evergreens covering beau tiful casket.
 The pail bearers were of our best people, and a long line of carriages, filled with sympathizing friends of both sexes. The funeral services were con ducted by the Rev. Mir. Downs of the NJ. E. church of this place.
 And thus we go, one by one, like leaves Tn wintery weather.

Growing A New Hoof.

A singular condition has developed in the buffalo herd at the Philadelphia Zoo. Late in last year the hoof and mouth disease affected the cattle of Europe very seriously, and there were slight visitations of it in this country. One of these was at the Philadelphia Zoo among the buffalo Eight of the herd were isolated. Since then the symptoms of this disease have disappeared from all but one oi those isolated. This one, however, has lost hoof, and is now hard at work raising new one, hobbling around on three legs. This is the only case on record in America of buffalo losing hoof and growing a new one in captivity.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Modern Clond Comneller..

A curious and interesting experiment was tried early one morning at the Jar dine discrimination. Some ingenious person has lrft upon a scheme for mak- ing artificial clouds for the warming of fields and preventing damage to crops A number of stoves had been placed ten yards apart around the spot selected. and when they were lighted thick black smoke was produced. Unfortu- nately for the success of the experiment, there was too much wind, and the "clouds" were dispersed immediately, the smoke being blown toward the in closure occupied by the seals, who did not seem at all to appreciate it.
 It is said that some experiments car ried on in the Gironde were far more successful, and that the system will be largely used there to protect the vines. 1t is said that vineyard could be made two or three degrees warmer. Several officers attended the experiments yester- day to see whether the process could be utilized for military purposes,-Galg. mani Messenger.

Died at a Keeiey Institute.

SALT LAKE, May 12.-F. A. Harmon, who came here from Oregon to take the Keeley cure, died at the institute this morning. The doctor in charge of the institute says that if it had not been for the entreaties of Harmon's wife he would have refused him for treatment, Tor he was in precarious condition at the time. He had kidney troubles in the worst form, aggravated by the use of alcohol. The immediate cause of his death was congestion of the brain. No inquest will be held, as his relatives do not believe the Keeley treatment had anything to do with hastening his end.

WHAT DO you THINK OFIT?

Yes, reader, a worthy senator of
Oregon proposes a bill to congress
to legalize the sale of liquors in
Alaska, our prohibition territory.
Heretofore the importation of in
toXicating liquors in said territory
has been prohibited by statute
of the United States. The revenue
cutter which should enforce this
law and which leaves San Fran
cisco, too late to prevent the whal-
ers landing the liquor at the ports
of Alaska, should be started out a
month sooner. Uncle Sam should
enforce this law, as his head seems
to have been quite level when it
was enacted and we do SO hope he
will not become dazed by this pro-
position and go back upon his
word. Please, Uncle Sam, don't.
You are a little older than the SEN
ator or and, if not in your second
childhood, better able to give adj
vice. Those poor Indians in Alaska
are your own children, and would
you be so cruel as to let another oil
your sons ruin your little ones
Poor, ignorant children
1t is true that some smuggling is
done and the Indians and Esqui-
maux get a little liquor, but now
the chances of their obtaining in
toxicating drinks are few to what
free traffic would make them. What
will be the use of spending thous-
ands of dollars yearly 10 Christian
ize and educate those people if this
vile stuff is allowed license?

WY IMPORT HORSESa

eff there is any country in the
world that ought to be able to
raise all the horses needed, GER
tainly the United States is that
country; but in the year 1888
62,411 horses were imported into
the United States, while but 2,263
were exported, leaving us to pur-
chase that year the surplus, over
10000. The old tariff laid duty
of 20 per cent. ad valorem on
valuation of $45 per head, equal to
nearly $40; hence, Canadian and
other horse raisers could afford to
pay 100000 in the form of tariff
tax for the privilege of competing
with horse breeders in the United
States. In order to prevent this
competition in the future the Nc
Kinley bill proposes to have them
pay $50 per head. Under the oper-
alton of the Mckinley bill the
American farmers or producers of
horses will have not only the bene-
fit of the 100000 paid as duty,
but OF the $4,OOO,OOO paid in addi-
tion thereto, making in all 81, ,6OO,-
900 of an increase to the American
producer in one item alone OF the
Mckinley bill.
