THE CITY POSTMASTERSHIP
Mr. Lawrence Gardner Knows Moth
ing AbOut the Sifuation.


There was nothing new in the matter of
the appointment of Postmaster Sherwood's s
successor today, and SO far as can be learn
ed there have been no intimations allowed
to escape as to the name of the happy man
upon whom the mantle of office is likely to
fall. Mr.. Lawrence Gardner. the secretary
of the National Association of Democratic
Clubs. whose name has been prominently
mentioned in connection with the post
mastership. always maintains a dignified
silence whenever anything is said in his
presence in reference to the matter.
Il know absolutely nothing about it,"
said Mr.. Gardner this morning when ques-
toned about the situation by a Star re-
porter. Il have not the slightest idea who
is going to receive the appointment. AS
for myself, l can only say that | have
never been an applicant for the place or
for any other office though | should natur-
ally feel very much gratified if the nominal
ton were offered to me-

From the number of people on the streets to-day Saturday., one would think We were enjoying holiday. The shop men are compelled to lose one day Tn the week, through an order of the Railroad Company reducing their time to five days of nine hours each per week. Retrenchment is the order of the day., not only in railroad business, but every class of business here. Nevertheless, there are no complaints.
 Judge J. H. Wilson is thinking se- riDusly of closing up his Justices office
 to do. There has not been case before him since the Camp bell murder-over six weeks ago. We sympathize with his honor over the lack of business in his line, but it speaks we'll for Winslow.

The Dramatic Club met Monday even- ing at the Union Church, to assign the characters and rehearse the play-more of reading. In the caste are the fol- lowing: Mrs. Beatrice Livingston, Mrs. Youmans and Mrs. Burke. Of the harsher sex, the following appear: c. A. Buck, Ed Mahoney, w. H. Burbage, c. E. Leech, George Wolff, Jas. Haw- kins, Ollie Williams, and F. T. Aspifi- wall. If application and hard study, combined with talent of more than ave- rage calibre will insure success, then this play will be bowling triumph.
 Tuesday last will be long remember ed. One of the most dismal days your correspondent ever experienced. The town was enveIoped in blinding dust and sand storm all day. Part of the earth ascended to the sky, and hung suspended above us like pail. Busi- ness was we'll nigh suspended. There was no comfort any place-not even in bed, All one could do was to sit down indoors, and wait till the storm spent itself, which it finally did, after some thirty-six hours of the maddest blowing ever witnessed.
 As result of Tuesdays sand storm, passenger train No. from the east, due at Holbrook at p. m., ran off the track ,I,.l .l1 int hof cto ct fore reaching the water tank. It was most disastrous wreck. Fortunately no lives were lost, nor any one hurt. En- gineer Gibson had most miraculous escape. Those who witnessed it say he apparent, crawled out from under the engine and machinery after the engine had rolled over on it's side Barring few scratches he was unhurt. The bag gage car and one coach were badly shat tered.

 Mrs. James Scott, of Show Low, pass ed through here Wednesday on No. l, on her way to the Mid-Winter Fair and California in general.

It is no more trouble to register right now, than it will be two or three months hence. The first time you are where there is a registering officer, and every Jus tice of the Peace in the county is one, attend to this matter and have it off your mind. Don't forget it.

Mans Inhumanity to Himsell.

The most inhuman outrages, outrages which would disgrace the savage, man perpetrates upon his own system by swallowing drastic purgatives which convulse his stomach, agonize his intes- tines and weaken his system. Many
 people constantly do this under the impression that medicaments only which are violent in their action, and particularly cathartics, are of any avail. Irreparable injury to health is wrought under this mistaken idea. The laxative which most nearly approaches the benefcent action of nature is Hos- tetter's Stomach Bitters, which is pain less but thorough, and invigorates the intestinal canal instead of weakening and irritating it. The liver and the stomach share in the benign discipline instituted by this comprehensive medi- cine, whose healthful influence is felt throughout the system. Malarious, kidney and nervous com plaints succumb to it.

Hank Sharp had pretty close call about ten days ago. He, Ollie Rudd and Mike Phelps were hold ing some steers in the White Moun- tains, when they ran on to three bear. Rudd and Sharp each roped a bear, but Rudd catching his by the foot, turned loose and the bear made off with the rope. Hank was more fortunate, catching his around the neck. In the scrimmage that ensued, Hank dismounted, when the bear made for him. He was active enough to dodge the blow, but his horse was not so fortunate, and lost a considerable portion of one of it's hindquarters. Being only one six shooter in the crowd, 1t was quite little while before they succeeded in killing hls bearship. They say he was a monster. The boys took his scalp and left, not having time to skin him. The hide would have been worth S30 or $40.

Politics are beginning to be talk

Politics are beginning to be talk ed of somewhat. People are can- wasting different parties for differ ent positions. Scarcely any one, so far as we have heard, has declared himself an aspirant for any partic- ular office. It will not be long, however, before public spirited in- dividuals will be bobbing up, who are willing to serve the dear peo- pie, at an immense sacrifice of their private interests, but if the people want them, they feel it their duty to accept for the public veal, no matter how much their private af- fairs may suffer. It is astonishing the amount of philanthropy and patriotism that is developed just preceding each election.

From rumors which are flying thick in the air, there are butchers in our adjoining territory, who should be making money hand-over- fist. It has not been a great while since gang ot rustlers were made to drop 85 head of cattle in various brands in the Datil Mountains of Socorro county, New Mexico. A few days after that, another, or it may be, the same gang of rustlers, had to abandon 69 head or be de- tected between the Zuni villages and Fort Wingate. The latter band of cattle were made up of a multi plieity of brands, there being cattle in the bunch bearing eighteen diff ferent brands. Many of these cat tie belong in Apache county. It is said that tbls stealing has been go- Ing on durlng the past winter. Cat tie owners east and northeast of St. Johns being the principal losers. Honest mon ought to combine, keep men on the range all the time, and when these fellows are caught at their work, hang them to the first convenient tree, and leave them dangling, as warning to others. As rule we are opposed to lynch law, but this is about the only way 10 effectually stop such wolk. Two or three neck-tie parties of this de- scrlption, and these fellows will hunt new field of operation.

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 E us- tachian Tube. When this tube gets in famed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in famed condition of the mucous surface. 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.

Gallup may boast of its horso with a blonde mustache, and Phe- nix of it's baby monkey, but for the greatest wonder and the most re- markable freak in the animal king dom, we think Apache county is entitled to the chromo. Don Jose Garcia rode an animal into St. Johns few days since, which had every appearance of being horse, yet it was not, neither was it a mare. It had, to limited degree, some of the usual flesh marks to Do found on both genders of the equine spe- cies-was a we'll formed animal strawberry-roan in color, with the exception of three white spots on the left side-one on the neck, one on the ribs, and one on the hip. MT. Garcia said it was a very good saddle animal, could carry an ordi- nary man 60 or 70 miles a day with no More apparent distress than an extra good COW pony. It was in short. 8 genuine hermaphrodite- neither male nor female. The anl- nal can be seen at the ranch of Don Jose Garcia, known as Los Pilos, about fifteen miles east of St. Johns. It IS certainly oue of the strangest freaks of nature that has come un- der observation for many a year..
