IF Representative Enloe had wished to make the public sympathize with Commissioner Raum he could not have accomplished his purpose quicker or better than by losing his temper and calling that gentleman liar, as he did when Mir. Raum was on the stand testi- flying to the committee which is con- ducting the investigation of the pension bureau, and his attempting to strike Mir. Raum after having called him a liar did not mend the matter. Personal abuse never convinces anybody; it usually reacts upon those who indulge in it. Representative Wheeler, who is chairman of the investigating com mittee, has the right idea. He said after the disgraceful occurrence alluded to above: 'Mr. Raum came here in response to a summons from this com mittee to testify, and he must be treated like any other witness, Whether his testimony be true or faulse does not matter. After his statements have been made any other man who cares to may have the opportunity to take the stand and deny or disproye them"

Porter received wound in the left side, toward the back, passing through the hip bone and taking an upward course end cannot be located. Porter's wound, while serious one, is not necessarily fatal one.--Gallup Cleaner.

:" August.
 Flower

Mrs. Sarah M. Black of Seneca, Mo-, during the past two years has been affected with Neuralgia of the Head, Stomach and Womb, and writes: My food did not seem to strengthen me at all and my appe- tite was very variable. My face was yellow, my head dull, and I had such pains in my left side. In the morning when I got up I would have flow of mucus ill the mouth, and bad, bitter taste. Sometimes my breath became short, and I had such queer, tumbling, palpitating sensations around the heart. ached all day under the shoulder blades, in the left side, and down the back of my limbs. It seemed to be worse in the wet, cold weather of Winter and Spring; and whenever the spells came on, my feet and hands would turn cold, and I could get no sleep at all. I tried everywhere, and got no relief before using August Flower Then the change came. It has done me wonderful deal of good during the time l have taken it and is work ing a complete cure" o G. G.

A Card.

Ireprcsent the Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York, the largest, oldest and best insurance company in the United Statest. am writing the best forms of endowment and life policies at as low rates as any travelling agent can possibly write them, and can offer advantages that they cannot. The argument that you can buy in the East or of travelling men cheaper than in Flagstaf-a very narrow argument even if true-does not apply to life insurance, for the rates, like the price of postage stamps, are the same throughout the country.
 My home is in Coconino county; spend my money here and am striving to help build up the country, and l believe that my bid for the local life insurance business is entitled to more consideration than that of travelling agents who stop in town long enough to get all they can out of it and then depart to spend their profits elsewhere.
 Very respectfully,
 J. H. HosKINs.

New lMusfcaloMonthly.

We have received from Richard A. Saltield, 796 and 79S Tenth avenue, New York, the first number of musi- cal monthly entitled The New York Musical Monthly. It is a marvel of cheapness and excellence. It fairly staggers us. How any publisher can afford to give so much for so little sur prises us. We all know what music costs, but here is a publication of 32 pages of music, large size, large print, equal in every respect to high priced music, which is offered to the public at l5 cents per copy; or, $1.50 per year, postpaid. The number to hand con- tains, Nightingale Song" from the Tyrolean, by Genee; "Ta-ra-ra Boom- de-ay," by Ascher; "Love and Duty" song, by Dryden; "Serenata'' Qtalian) waltz, by Jaxone; "Kitsmin Schottische Militaire," by Leggett; "Darkie's Dream," by Lansing; 'Tyrolean" waltz, by Pratt, any one of which is worth the price asked, while the "Ta- ra-ra Boom-de-ay" is the piece that is being sung everywhere and made such success in London and Paris as to in- crease a certain singers salary from $50 week to Sl00 per night. The publishers advise us that the May num- Der will contain "Paderewski's' melo- die; the famous song "For You;" the beautiful ''Love's Dream After the Balln waltz, by Zzibulka; "Paderewski's Menuet;n 'Poor Girl Didn't Know the great song, My Son, My Son, My Only Son;' the famous Swedish Song "Tystnad;" and last, but not least, Montenegro's famous "Oxford Berlin Polka" which is danced everywhere.
 This monthly is printed on elegant paper, and we can hardly say enough for it. Our subscribers would do well to send l5 ceuts for a sample copy, or, better still, sl.50 for a yearly subscrlp- tion to the publisher.

TIE Blaine talk, like the silver question, will not "down." This week it is heard wherever republicans con- gregate. The silver republicans arc largely responsible for this Blaine re- vival, so to speak. They are averse to supporting President Harrison, because of his well-known opposition to free coinage, but they are perfectly willing to take Mir. Blaine without knowing that he is any more friendly to free coinage than Mir. Harrison is. The anti-Harrison republicans generally have also, it seems, come to the con clusion that the only way to keep MT. Harrison out of the nomination is to nominate Mir. Blame, and if they can have their way the Minneapolis con vention will nominate Mir. Blaine whether he will or not.

wnrnnnss Way

It was two bold knights-errant, they rode
 forth to take the afr; They were seeking for adventures, anywhere
 and everywhere; One was aged and experienced, and one was
 young and brash; The Experienced was prudent and the Inex-
 perienced rash. And presently they came upon couple un- A huge and hideous monster who beat a lady
 fair. He was great and grim and terrible, bull
 bous, bloated brute, With hairy hands and nose that shamed the
 beets ensanguined root, He was knobbed and gnarled and twisted, like
 huge misshapen tree; And the yonng mans heart waxed furious to
 see what he did see. For the brute, he banged the lady till one
 trembled for her life, And when they asked him way, he said, 70,
 nothing-she's my wife" The Knight-Errant of Experience he made a
 bow polite; Said he: "A family affair." Excuse me, sir
 good night! Excuse me If l cannot stay-I think I'll hurry
 on!" "shame!" cried the Inexperienced Knignt
 but the older Knight was gone. So the younger Knight laid his lance in rest,
 and his youthful heart uprose; And he charged upon the monster and just
 touched his mighty nose; And the monster reached out for him, and
 with one tremendous thrust He knocked the good Knight on his horse and
 laid him In the dust; And twenty minutes later the young Knight
 slowly woke And lay accounting up the bones and things
 that monster broke; And as he wandered at the need of brave
 Knight-errantree, He saw the lady sitting on that horrid mon-
 ster's knee She laid her dainty fingers, as she sat in lov-
 Ing pose, On scratch all but invisible, upon the mon-
 sters nose; Her tender, soothing accents had sweet and
 silvery ring Did the nassy man scratch hubby's nose co
 pitty itty singT He was nassy wicked man, to give her
 hubby paini Just let the tweetums kiss the place and
 make 1t well agaln," When the youthful Knight went on his way
 he was exceeding sore; But he knew great big spreading lot more
 than he did before. Puck.

AT the meeting of the territorial board of Worlds Fair commissioners at Phoenix last week resolution was adopted requesting the governor to re- move Wm. Zcckendorf from the board and appoint as his successor some citi- zen of the political party and district represented by him. The people of Northern Arizona, irrespective of party, claim that the appointment should be made from that section. Just why the former. unjust political division of northern and southern districts should cut any figure in the appointment no one but the commissioner who amended the resolution can explain. If the governor desires to make the appoint- ment in fair and impartial manner, aud give the northern portion of the territory the representation due that section he will not make it from a political standpoint which places MarI- copa county ip Northern Arizona.

The Arizona Gold Clause.

A great many persons fail to see why the vote in the senate on the Arizona bond bill is considered test vote on the silver question. The facts are briefly that the territory of Arizona desired to fund its old indebtedness, which now bears 10 per cent interest, and in 1890 congress passed a bill em- powering the territory to issue per cent bonds, the interest of which was to be payable in gold coin or its equivalent in lawful money of the United States" The governor and other officials of Arizona, and many of her influential citizens, had endeavored to place these bonds, but without suc- cess.
 A bill was therefore introduced in the present congress in which it was specified that payment should be made ''in gold coin.n When it was intro duced in the house the free silver men desired to substitute for the above phrase the words, sin legal money of the United States" Mir. Smith, the Arizona delegate in the house, cx- plaiued that if this was done the bonds could not be floated for less than to 10 per cent; that the territory was now paying 10 per cent in gold on the debt, but that if the gold clause were left in the bill the bonds could readily be iloatcd at per cent, and s75,000 be saved in interest to the people of Arizona. His representations pre- vailed, and the bill passed the house with the gold clause.
 When it came up in the senate, Mir. Kyle offered an amendment to strike out the phrase ''in gold coin" and to substitute "in lawful money of the United States" The amendment was adopted by vote of IS to 2i. Only two democratic senators-Gray and Palmer-yoted against the substitute; and all the republican senators voted against it except the following:
 Teller and Walcott, of Colorado; Jones and Stewart, of Nevada; Hans borough, of North Dakota; Dubois, of Idaho; Mitchell, of Oregon, and Allen, of Washington.
 Thus the Senate sacrificed the busi- ness interests of the people of Arizona, and condemned them to the loss of $75,00 a year, to conserve the moon- shine theory that absolute value can be created or kept by law. It is to be hoped that the house will have more business sense than to agree to the senate's foolishncss. Toledo Blade.

Works of Art by Twelve Famous
 Artists.

Sometimes magazine varies its plan of makeup for single number, Tn way that makes that issue unique. The Cosmopolitan published one num- Der some months ago filled entirely with contributions from women. In the same way the May issue of the Cosmopolitan will be noteworthy on account of the change in the style of illustration. With hardly an excep- tion, the number is entirely made up of original works of art and all by the best artists that could be found. There has never been n number of any maga. zine that contained so high a class of illustration, and the names of Walter Crane, the English decorator, w. M. Chase, F. w. Kemble, F. Remington, .C. s. Reinhart, etc., are enough to distinguish the issue alone.

TIE amended resolution adopted by the territorial board of Worlds Fair commissioners, at their session last week in Phoenix, was direct blow to every citizen of Northern Arizona. But the blow loses great deal of its force when the fact is known that the last session of the legislature abolished the political subdivision known as north and south joint Council districts. There should be fair division of the appointments between the north and south, and certainly such spacious of scheming should not be recognized as the resolution calls for.

THE appointment of Worlds Fair commissioner, when originally made, left the northern portion of Arizona unrecognized.

The WinslnNY ERir.

The Catholic fair at Winslow was a complete success, owing to the untiriug efforts of the lady managers and the good will of the public. Even the chronic critics could find no fault with the superb supper served every night. Ice cream and strawberries kept the ladies in the best of humor so that they went down admiring all the good things of this world. The eye was charmed at the artistic display of the fancy table. Who could have thought of so much elegance in the wild west of Arizona's desert plains? The ready sale of all articles and the eagerncy to take part in the rallies of prizes showed plainly what everybody thought of the fancy work. The contestsw spirited and brought a good deal of money. Ask the boys if you doubt it. Little Miss Daze won the souviner cup and silver spoon. Miss N. Hawkins the gold watch. All were unanimous in declaring their satisfaction over the good time they had. Charmed they were all by the music, and the pastor also had broader smile of satisfaction when he boarded the train with about $500 cash in his pocket.
 The writer wishes to express his best thanks to all who co-operated to make the fair a success.
