The True and False in Advertising.

Tell the truth" is always safe
 motto. Rhat is what the Price Baking
 Powder Company does Its statements are as accurate as its powder is excel lent It makes DO false claims and sells DO inferior goods.
 AS much cannot be said for certain competitors. Chagrlned by the success of Dr. Prices Baking Powder at the Chicago Worlds Fair, where it received the highest award, a rival company
 which did not exhibit, is trying 10 be- little the honors 1t secured. The fact is that the award was conferred on Dr.. Prices for strength, purity and excel lencs. The Jury was headed by the Chief Chemist of the United States Agricultural Department. The vote of the judges in making the award was unanimous. Except by disappointed competitors, the validity of the award has never been questioned. The award at the Chicago Fair WAS confirmed and emphasized by award of the gold medal at California Midwipter Fair.
 These awards entitle pr. Prices to rank as the foremost baking powder in all the world" Its leavening power as demonstrated by U. s. Government analysis, is higher than that of any other baking powder manufactured. Scientific tests show that its leavening strength of 166 cubic inches per ounce is far higher than that of any other powder in the market. It phenominally increasing sales are the best tribute to | its excellence and popularity.

COL. FELLOWS.
Over Eight Hundred Charges Prefer
 red Apainsf Him.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The trial of Col. John R. Fellows, district attorney of the city and county of New York, on charges of neglect of duty, was begun before Gov. Flowers commissioner, ex- senator John B. Leuson of Kingston, to- day. One set of charges made by the Good Government club people, embraces over 300 specific charges, while another set presented by the German-American Reform Union, made exactly 507. The first series of cherges were read by Mo- Mabon, who swore to their accuracy.
 Cross-exsminstion brought out that the witness was swearing to the inform ation. It was conceded by counsel that the accused was under no compulsion to take the witness. stand to swear that the defense was true. The attorney for the Germsn-American Reform Union argued that the charges preferred by that body should, where the specific charges are not the same, be tried sspar- ately and as distinct cases. Pending a decision of this question a recess was taken.

A BORDER BATTLE.
Cowboys and Smugglers Engage iI
 Miniature Warfare.


 On the Doth instant 8 conflict occurred between three cowboys and three Mexi- can contrabandistss, or Mexican snug glers, near Packardis ranch on the San Pedro river in Cochise county, near the line. A rodeo was in progress in that section and the cattle herd had been rounded up for the night with three cowboys on guard. AS the boys were slowly riding around the sleeping cattle they suddenly came upon the Mexicane.
 It is supposed that the smugglers mistook the herders for customs in- spectors bent upon their arrest, for when the former rode up and asked for drink of mescal the later replied "mescaI, si," and immediately fired a volley from their sIx-shooters at the cowboys. The fire was harmless, but the Americans being unarmed, retrested to their camp amid a shower of bullets to secure thelr fighting utensils. The smugglers supposing that they had ut terly discomftted and scared party oi inspectors, loitered around the field of their glory, but to their cost for the cow boys speedily secured arms and started in persuit of their assailsnts. The latter retrested but George Sprinkle got in a shot at them and wounded one. The others separated one returning toward Sonora snc the other going on down the river to Greens ranch where he was captured by mounted snspectsr A. P. Behan and taken to Bisbee. The woun. | ded Mexican managed to crawl into the bushes and elude pursuit in the dark, ness but large pool of blood where he fell indicates that he was seriously wounded and as he has not appeared al any of the neiRhboring ranches it is thought probable that his wound was fatal. The cattle herd was stampedec by the noise of the shooting and tho rodo had to be repested.-VIdetts

Shooting at Bowie.

At Fort Bowie the other day, the night of the day on which the sale of condemned property took place, the guard who was watching the remains of the sale had his attention called to a noise near the lumber yard. He csu- tiously approached, and found two men loading bundles of shingles into 8 wagon.
 He called to them, but they only an- swered with the sound of retreatmg footsteps. He fired but they only rsu the faster. He ccrralled the team and wagon, and the next day rancher claim ed it, saying he had loaned it to a O. uple of Mexicans. He was not allowed to take it, however, until he could give a better account of his part of the trans action.
 The next night while the guard was making his rounds he was fired on by some one concealed near by, the bullet coming too close for comfort. The party who did the firins did not ma terialize. The wagon IS still held by the government and more trouble is an- ticipated. d.-Prosbector.

Mckinley on Protection,

NEW YORK, Dec. A. When Gov. Me kinley was asked yesterday what course he would suggest that repu blicans pur- sue during the remainder of the term of congress, he replIed:
 ''It would be decidedly unbecoming me, being no longer a member of con- gress, to advise the republicans what to do at the coming session. From what l can gather, however, from the talk of our friends, 1t will be the determin ation to prevent the further mischief to the American industries. I shall be sur. prised if the free iron and free coal bills become laws by acts of the present con- gress. While I, during the fifty-first congress, did what could to have su- gar made free, and that provision was made part of the tariff law of 1890, it may be claimed now that, owing to a decrease in government receipts, ii would be hazardous to place sugar on the free list.
 'I see that the estimated deficiency in government revenue is something like S9.OOO, GOO. That is not encouraging. l hope as little evil as possible may be committed during the short session, and that when the republicans resume con- trol in congress wise remedial legislation may be enacted. prefer not to make any suggestions to the fifty fourth con. Grees just at this time"

BOOTS HAVE HAD THEIR DAY.
Trade Affected by the Increased Wear Q
 

Trade Affected by the Increased Wear of | Shoes by Americans.
 | The diminished use of boots is matter
 of concern to the manufacturers of them
 and to the producers of heavy leath-
 CT and heavy calf skins, says the Shoe | and Leather Reporter. Twenty years
 ago the calf boot industry was lead ing one in New England. Whole towns
 were studded with factories which pro-
 dueed calf boots exclusively. For dec
 ade the sale has been gradually fall | ing off, and to-day it is of hardly any l importance. A few manufacturers of
 shoes include boots as a speciality, but the demand is too light to amount to
 much. When calf boots were in vogue
 manufacturers consulted the partial lties of the cowboys, to whom price was a secondary consideration. The
 legs were frequently corded with silk stitching. The star and crescent and
 other fanciful Ornamentations were in-
 laid on the legs of the boots; there
 were high heels and the boots were
 striking specimens of mechanical art.
 The soles were inlaid with copper.
 zinc and brass nails. The cowboys no
 longer pay fifteen or twenty dollars for
 a pair of boots. They want substance
 instead of show. But they were not
 the only wearers of calf boots. They
 were extensively worn. Many men
 prefer them to-day, though the
 number is growing less. The old
 fashioned stoga boots were for
 merly sold in large quantities; they are well-nigh obsolete. There followed
 a demand for lighter and more styl- ish article. A kip boot of lighter
 texture was produced, about equal in
 appearance to the best calf boot, but
 this, too, has fallen somewhat into dis use, and the sales this season are
 scarcely over one-half the usual
 amount. Where there were twenty
 factories producing boots exclusively
 there is now not one. Even the farmers
 are using heavy shoes instead of boots,
 and if it becomes a necessity to wear
 long legged boots they buy rubbers Twenty years ago the entire product of Salem and Peabody was heavy boot and brogan leather To-day there are less than half dozen tanners making it. Brogans and plowshoes are indis- pensable in many sections of the coun- try, but there are comparatively few exclusive manufacturers of these now. The CreedmOor. Dom Pedro, English | ties and Creole congress are supplant- | ing them. The decline in the eonsump- tiOn of calf boots affects the tanners of | calf skins. It is Q question what is to be done with heavy skins. The tan ners must necessarily buy more or less | of them. They cannot select light and | medium weights exclusively, and if | they tan them they feel no certainty of | being able to dispose of them in the | finished state. There is, nevertheless, | a use in this world for whatever is good l for anything, and there will be some way of disposing of heavy calf skins, though for the moment it appears diff cult to point out the direction into which they will be moved

WASHINGTON, D. c. Dec. 5-Withir

 Pacific railroad bonds. It will be first payment made by the government on
 these bonds. They ran for long term

 the present short session.
 The Central Pacific company has in the treasury to the credit of it's sinking

 arisen as to whether the government
 could not appropriate this fund to the
 payment of the bonds on maturity.

 BERLIN, Dec. 5.-The Emperor William, wearing the British uniform, visited the Prince of Wales and Duke of York this morning and the two re- turned the visit an hour later. They then started f6r England. The Emperor William then donned Prussian uniform and prepared to open the Reichstag. The radicals are furious that the mon- arch did not come to the parliment but instead called the Reichstag to the cas- tie for the ceremony. The course of his majesty, says the Freisennige Zsi- tung shows how modest a part parlia- mentsrisns holds in Germany. The Enperor's address discusses the duty of protecting weaker classes and enabling them to obtain a higher economic and moral development. The Emperor says that measures will be submitted extend ing the penal provisions, regulating bcurse speculation and protecting the against unfair competition in trade. Referring to the tobacco taxa tion the Emperors say his confidence in of European peace has been strengthened.

 hereabouts for such an entertainment

 CT in "La Mascota" who, although he
 took to the top of the fence once oI
 twice, took more chances than one mar
 in a thousand would.
 The day was clear and the dust Tn the grounds fearful. The crowd was big. The usual program of shooting and las~ | soing was done, but the most remarka- | ble came of with the "bronco busting. Several broncos were on the ground,
 and were saddled and bridled for rid ing. The Nay they could arch their
 backs and buck was very amusing, and showed creditsble skill in the gritty
 way in which the riders could stick to them. It remained, however, for 2 genuine Arizona cowboy to show won- ders in riding. Tom Wills is the man, of San Pedro, and well known in Tue son, especially after yesterday. He IS about 27, brown and sinewy, and more graceful on horse than off one. He has been in the saddle for years, and that he is expert with riata and hand ling horses and cattle is put ting it mildly. On the Juan Elias ranch belongs a man killer. This man killer is a horse, a vicious big strong sorrel, of fine blood, whose pro- portions of vicieusness ard deviltry are 100 per cent each. As horse he has taken pride in the fact that no man had conquered him. Talk of buckers! He could curve his back till the center of his ve;tebrae was two feet higher than the rest of him. If tbat would not suffice, wild plunging and falling over backwards could nnhorse his rider. The horse has killed two men, the second of whom believed that notwithstanding one man had dled under him he could stay with him and bring him to subjec tion.
 Tom Wills has signifed a williness to ride any horse on eartE, and this man. killer in particular. He declared be could conquer the brute. And he did. |
 Yesterday the horse was brought out, holding back and acting ugly from the first. A blind was put on him, and he | was saddled. Then Wills lightly | and removed the blind. All | the savage buckine by the other broncos was child's play to what followed. He made his back into a short and very | high bow and jumped all four feet from the gound. His head went low. Then he reared. He plunged and snorted, but all the while Wills clung like glue. The horse then tried to kill Wills as he had his other victims, be rearing and falling backwards on him, but the rider got out of the ay,snd as the horse got up he was in the saddle agaln. The brute was brought to subjection after more fighting, and was finally ridden about, tame as any horse on the grounds. The man b sd conquered.
 Some bull fighting, with no killing of the bull, followed. It consisted of teasing the animals with red cloth and lodging them.

Shrimps Did It.


 Shrimp salad, with its garnature of lettuce, has been the causss of whole sale poisoning in the families of Judge Bethuns and Prof. Boggs. Both fami- lies occupy the Edwards residence on the south side of the Military plaza, and both gave thanks on last Thanks giving with the customary turkeys and etcs. Among the latter was s tempting dish of shrimp salad of which both fami- lies partook. Mss Howe, of Tombstone was guest of the Bethune family. Mss O'Melvany and Profs. Hoxie and Good Joe celebrated with the Boggs family All the mem bers of the Bethune house. hold partook of the fateful salad more ol less, with the exception of Miss Fanny whose predictions for good dinp el did not run in that direction, and all members of the BoRgs family, with the exception of Mrs. Boggs, the mother of the professor, toyed with the festive shrimps. These two were the only ones saved.
 Along towards the middle of the fol lowing day cramps began to gather them all in, even to the servant girls, and by night, with the exception of the two ladies before mentioned, all were ir thelr respective homes in bed suffering from bad cases of poisoning. For ( while things looked serious, and several of the shrimped were inclined to hanG back, but under good medical treatment and.careful nursing all are expected tc pull through.
 Mrs. Bethune sat up for the first time today, but the rest of the family aD6 friends are still in bed, as is also tht Boggs household. All are, however convalesing, and if no serious setbact occurs every body will within the week be ready to tackle more shrimps, but, i is said, they will in the future do theil own killing ard eschew those found 1T cans.
 | The three professors will be able t resume their duties at the University 1T due time and the benignent face O Judge Bethune will once more smil, serenely from the bench.

Ina petty thieveries of tramps are becoming very exasperating. In sddi- lion to the stealing of blankets last night in Davis's corral another occurred m the yard of Frank Allison, where two suits of underclothing were stolen. The tramps have a trick that rouses the ire of the butchers. They follow 8 meat wagon on its early morning rounds, and when the boy in charge goes inside somewhere to deliver some meat they sneek up and make of with a choice steak or two. A. J. Davidson reports a robbery on his own account. At Desert station at the railroad, he and compan- ions left wagon containing clothing and lunches. On their return all the clothing worth taking and the lunch were gone. The trail was followed with all speed down the track. Ten miles away they caught the thieves - trsmps of course. The lunch was gone beyond recovery but the clothes were obtained. Radical measures are liable to be taken soon. Begging by tramps in Tucson has come to be such an old story that it results poorly. So they steal now, right and left, and take any thing from safe to house and lot.
