we will say that ours make special

The property is all mortgaged for $s,000. It is thought the total liabilities will reach between $25,000 and $30,0O0, and the assets will not exceed $l5, ,O00. Mair left here on Oct. 26th for San Francisco. but replies to two telegrams making inquiry about him indicate that he has not arrived there.

Far and Wide,

Not on this broad continent alone, but in malarial breeding tropical re- gions, in Guatemala, Mexico, South America, the Isthmus of Panama, and elsewhere, Hostetter's Stomach bitters affords to inhabitants and sojourners protection against malaria. The miner, the newly arrived immigrant, the tiller of the virgin soil, newly robbed of it's forests by the ak of the pioneer, find in the superb antifebrile specific pre- server against the poisonous miasma which in vast districts rich in natural resources, is yet fertile in disease. It annihiiates disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, fortifes those who use it against rheumatic ailments, bred and fostered by outdoor exposure; in- uses genial warmth into frame chilled, by rigorous temperature, and robs of their power to harm morning and even- ing mists and vapors laden with hurt fitness; strengthens the weak and con- quers iueipient kidney trouble.

Grady, foreman for Lock- cit Bros. at tho time of his assassina- tion, which occurred on Sept. II, 1l93, near Flagstaff.
 Acting Governor Bruce decided not to grant the request. The letter did not explain any of the circumstances which led to the killing, and the gov ernor dld not feel the simple re- quest sufficient to warrant any action on the part of the executive.-Repub- lican.
