Arizona is Advancing.

Arizona people are not given to boasring, and enjoy a reputation for taking success as matter of course, and of improving the op- portunities presented without any great display of enthusiasm or sounding of self praise. But there is no doubt that if any other terri tory had the resources, and present. ed as many avenues of wealth as this territory, the attractions would be kept constantly before the world It is nothing against the average citizen, if he happens to be busy with his own affairs to act as guide 10 the stranger within our gates; 1t it is no disgrace that Arizona Is a busy place, for the business world has confidence in the busy man. At present our territory is enjoying a prosperity and development such as few people are aware of who do not watch closely the chronicle of passing events. There is no evi- dence of an unhealthy or fictitious boom in any portion of Arizona.but all reports tell of a steady, onward march, which is not interrupted by even the shadow of injurious reac- ton. From eastern Arizona we hear that great ranges have been moistened by copious rains, that the hills are green and the year promises to stimulate the stock in dustry, From every mineral dis
 trict the work of honest develop ment in gold properties is progress. ing as never before in it's history and based upon merit they are coming to the front as, producers
 Phoenix is advancing in all that helps a city. Buildings by the score are springing up, and labor CTS are buying their own homes and preparing for educating their children.-Phemx Gazette.

A Fatal Bite.

Cincinnati Dec. 17.-Albert Lutz, a dairyman, residing on the Read ing road, died last night of hydro phobia, resulting from battle with an enormous cat. His agonies, prior to the end, are indescribablc. Two months ago Lutz encountered d famished cat of unusual size in his barn loft and attempted to drive it away. The animal was mad from hunger. It sank its teeth in his left calf, lacerating it badly. Lutz
 finally killed the creature. The wounds were cauterized and no ill effects were manifested until Satur- day last, when the leg began swell ing up. In his dying struggles, the dariyman mewed and yawIed like a cat and attempted and claw those about him.

TIE Daily Sun. The recent con- viction of several desperate char acters upon the charge of stage robbery speaks well for the admin istration of the office of United States District Attorney, of which ouriown townsman. E. E. Ellinwood, is the incumbent. Some of the culprits will suffer the death pen
 alty, and those who have been let off with term of Imprisonment will in all likelihood be satisfied to engage in some profession that car lies less risk when they once more face the outside world. In the con viction of these men bad gang Is believed to have been broken up.

TIE Tombstone Prospector says : Itis pleasure for law abiding citi- gems 10 see the de;tth penalty pro nounced in Arizona after such q long respite. A man who commits a cold blooded murder once will do it again, and should be treated like 1. wild animal. He should be put out of the way, because he is dan gerous. A few legal hanglngs will stop crimes, which is on the in- crease in Arizona. Cochise county has been comparatively quiet since the hanging of six men ten years ago. It takes resolution on the part of judge to sentence q man to be hung, and the people fully appreciate the position in which tue judges are placed, and have nothing but applause for them when an emergency arise which calls for extreme measures.

 GGOd Rule-"JaSt Had 0ne."

"No, thank you just had one"
 It was the answer a man made yesterday to an acquaintance who asked him to join in some spirit ual reireshment.
 The man who made the answer is successful in business and moderate in all his habits.
 Perhaps his reply,..' just had one, , is good motto. Ifyou have one wife you don't want another. If a babe has been born to you, you don't banker for twins. If you have one good business you had better not risk another. And so you can-probably go through the whole list of habits and occupations. If you have enough of any of them don't take any more. Just had one" keeps a man sober and regu- lates nicely about every department of life Phoenix Gazette.

\ Remarkable Case.

Several young medicos were giv- ing their eXpernees concerning re- markable cases they had encoun- tered. One of them had seen mans toe accidentally amputated, stuck on again with sticking plaster and it finally grew fast. Another had cut an inch out of mans windpipe and then spliced it with the trachea of calf.
 'I encountered a most remark able case a few weeks ago." said Assistant Police Surgeon Barry. "A young man was suddenly afflicted with strabismus and was cured again within three hours. Such cases are not uncommon in eases. of fever, but 1t was the cause and the cure in this case that attracted my- -atten- ton. It was up i'll Southern Oregon, where land is so steep that farm CTS have to plant their corn by fr- ing 1t into the hillside with shot, gun. Wagons can't be used there at all, and sleds are the only vehi- cles.
 "One day a young fellow about 20 went down to town, and for the first time in his life saw wagon. He followed it for five miles to see what would happen when the hind wheels overlook the front wheels, and then 1t was found that both eTes were twisted under his nose. ?,
 The doctor paused and puffed at his cigar.
 "Well, how did they cure him?" enquired one of his listeners.
 Backed the wagon up five miles while the fellow watched the front wheels chasing the hind wheels"

A Shooting SCraPe.

About 3 o'clock yesterday morn- ing, as Night Watchman Prince was making his customery rounds pass ing down Goodwin street, he heard loud voices in one of the rear rooms of the Union saloon went in, found some Mexican men in some sort of an altercation, told them to keep quiet, which they appeared to do. Prince went out and on, and when near J. w. Wilson's! store heard sounds of turmoil and disturbance proceeding from the neighborhood he had just lett when, at a brisk run he went back, and in front of Miss Sophia's seraglio, found three Mexicans, one of whom was mak- ing frantic efforts to kick open the door, while the other two were try ing to hold him. Miss Sophia, from the second story window, appealed to Prince to arrest the men, when he attempted to do so the three de- fled him. He returned to the Union saloon and got two men to help him, one young man named Davis. AS they returned each broke picket from the fence to use as a club. The Mexicans were still mak- ing night hideous in; front of the seraglio. Prince and deputies had them moving down the sidewalk in little while, but the MeXicans showed a disposition to cross the street and two of them did hold back and start that way. Prince pushed the most vicious one of the trio ahead of him until he made motion forshis hip pocket, when Prince dorpped his picket, drew his revolver and told the Mexican he would shoot him If he drew, where upon the Mexican sprang away shooting back as he ran, Prince shooting at him. The Mexican disappeared behind the Chinese store; next Prince heard a fausllade of shots behind him and turned to see the flash of six-shootefs and a Mexican standing on the sidewalk who was shooting his revolver. Prince fired on him. Davis was shooting at him. The Mexican fell shot through the right thigh. His partner was captured. About this time several shots were fired in rapid succession from the other side of the street farther up ethe creek. These shots are supposed 10 have been fired by the Mexican who first started to shoot, he having sneaked up the bed of the creek behind the buildings. The wounded man was taken to the county hospital and the other fellow 10 the jail. They claim to be recent arrivals from Southern California. The Mexican who commenced the shooting ..was not captured. Officer Prince acted with praiseworthy bravery and pronlptness in the matter, while those who assisted him did their duty as good citizens. The bone in the wounded Mexican's leg Is shattered and the leg will probably have to be amputated. It is stated that all three Mcxicans were firing at officer Prince at one time. The wounded man continued shooting after he feel and was reloading his pistol when seized. He wore belt of cartridges and loose cartridges were found in his hip pocket Prescott Courier.

THE MOTHER OF KossUTH

Kossuth's splendid devotion to his mother
was one of the finest traits In this great
mans character. It was by her, says the
Ludg's Pictorial, that the fire of patriotism
was kindled in his breast; from her he
learned the lesson Of obedience, endurance
and perseverance which TO his life's end he
never forgot. and SO long as she lived her
word was law to him. Even as she lay dy-
ing, when her only desire was to see her
sons face once more, she sent a message to
by his presence than that he should submit
to come. to her under police escort, as the
authoritAs commanded, and, though it was
bitter grief to him, and the bitterness N
dured to the lastaday Of his life. be refused
to go to her under these conditions, and so
was at her entreaty he gave up gambling,
and for her sake he held all women worthy
Of honor.

who are pretty disciples of Mesmer and I'M

When the meal was over and we slipped our

gave an exhibition Of their powers quite ter
rible to see, since some of their manifesto
tions were really inexplicable. They found
and replaced in q selected spot in my head a

are the daughters Of a clergyman, well bred
and refined, and receive SO muchSto come to
a luncheon and exhibit their powers after.
For a compensation they will put ono into a
