It requires considerable patience and forbearance to run cattle in this county, just at this time, with out having trouble with rowing sheep-herders from New Mexico. Some of these fellows will locate theIr camp, and insist on remaining within mile, and some times not so far from some cattle ranch, when there is just as good feed, If not better, with an abundance of water, farther away. To an unprejudlced mind, such conduct smacks consid- erably of disposition on the part of sheep men to provoke quarrel, if not fight. We do not pretend to say they are acting under instruc. tions from their employers, but can see no necessity for sending thirty five we'll armed men to look aft Ter ten or twelve thousand sheep, un- less it is done for the purpose of intimidation and trampling under foot the rights of bona fide settlers. If such is the case, we warn those parties that there is point at winch forbearanee ceases to be a virtue, and that that point has al most been reached.

How Me GrOY Old.

The thread that binds us to life is most frequently severed ere the meridian of life is reached in the case of persons who neglect obvious means to renew failing strength. Vigor, no less the source of happiness than the condition of long life, can be created and perpet- uated where it does not exist. Thou sands who have experienced or are cog misunderstanding many physicians of eminence-of the effects of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, bear testimony to its wondrous efficacy as a creator of strength in feeble constitutions, and debilitated and shattered systems. A steady per formance of the bodily functions, re- newed appetite, flesh and nightly repose attend the use of this thorough and standard renovant. Use no local tonic represented to be akin to or resemble it in effects in it's place. Demand the gen. uine, which is an acknowledged remedy for indigestion, malaria, nervousness, constipation, liver and kidney com plaints and rheumatism.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachisn Tube. When this tube gets in- famed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire ly closed Deafness is the result, and un- less the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed forever, nine cases out of ten are caused by ca tarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Judge A. H. Pratt came in last Sunday from the EsquidilIa, on his way to the G-bar range, to assist in branding, and to hold and drive all cattle from his section back to their ranges. The Judge fenced in a pasture for saddle horses this spring, but says his labor was use- less. The rains came, but from some unaccountable reason not a drop has fallen inside his enclosure. It has rained on all sides right up to the fence and stopped-not a drop having fallen inside.

Hon. J. l..

Don Lorenzo "is a whole team and great big dog un- der the wagon" in the Republican party of Apache county. The lesser lights can get together and fix their states before conventions, and if the ticket suits him, it goes through sailing-but unless it does he wipes it out and makes one to suit himself. In other words, he is the power behind the scenes and the other would-be leaders are sim- ply "Jumpingjacks." When he cracks the whip, they jump and rub the calves ot their legs.

TENDER SYMPATHY.

One touch of human kindness,
makes the whole world feel akin. How
beautifully was this illustrated in the
instance of the dear young lady, Miss
Dickinson, coming all the way from
her home with Miss Maud Bacon on
her sad journey from Cincinnati, O.,
she being summoned home by the
sudden death of her father. Miss
Dickinson, we learn, had a similar ex-
perience in her life in being suddenly
called home to the bedside of her dead
or dying mother. These acts of tender
sympathy in an hour OFF deep afilc-
tion bind us together in strong chords
of lasting friendship, which teach us
that Christ-like feeling that live on
long after the things of this life have
passed into oblivion.

Reuben McKellar, son of j. NJ. and
Mrs. H. Z. Marlborough, aged -
years.
Death with some is but the delicate
stroke of angels which releases soul
from its earthly prison, but the sum
mons which bids the elect to lay aside
the toll of earth's servitude and come
dwell where the Father and Savior
reign and hold kingly sway. Twas
thus with the bright boy, Reuben Nc
Kellar Marlborough, whose life was
but loan granted his parents to
make their home bright with that illu-
mination which makes light "the mar
row way to the earthly vision" His
earthly existence was but transitory
dream to the household, a dream
whose reflections were such as mel
low the thoughts and soften the
hearts of mankind because they teach,
not of earth but OF Heaven. With
such as these Death leaves no stings
His silent visits bring 10 sombre mis-
givings as to the goal of the soul, for
angels voices make glad the passage
way through the dark valley of the
shadow and tell in joyful songs that
it has found a refuge beyond the
silent river
All, parents. it's human, divine,
Heavenly to weep for the bright boy
who shall never again make glad
your hearts by his sunny presence.
but It's more divine for You to live in
that state which those enjoy who look
into the starry armament and know
that above that, dwells the dear one.
