A FIVE HOURS FIGHT.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21.-The Elk aminer prints the following special: Schicbi Gen. Core8-A bloody battle has just been fought at Songhwan The Chinese had very strong fortiica- tions, and 15,OO0 troops stationed there. The Japanese gave out that they were going to march back to Asan and dld parade considerable distance Tn that direction, but no sooner were tkey convinced of the success of this scheme than they marched with rush straight up to the Notifications, attacking them in body. They made a clean sweep of everything in a five hours fight About 1000 Chinese were killed m the engagement and seventy Japanese The Chinese with their usual cowardice deserted their foreign officers, anC when given orders to resist the enemy turned and fell upon their swords preferring to commit suicide rather than be murdered by the Japanese The Chinese use the old-fashronec stink pots, bowls slung upon poles anc filled with sulphuric and other bat smelling and deadly acids. which xii perhaps more quickly than rifle shot They also resorted to wooden axes anC long bamboo poles. Many threw thei guns away when they caught a glmps of the enemy surrounding them like | cloud of deamons.

When the Liver Reprimands Us

For our neglect of it by inflicting upon us sick headache, by dyeing the skin yellow, coating the tongue with fur, pro- ducing vertigo, pains in the right side and souring the breath, we are little less than lunatics if we disregard the chss- tisement. If we call Hostetter's Stom- ach Bltters to our aid, tranquility and health follow speedily, and with the de- psrture of the symptoms mentioned, de- parts also irregulsrity of the bowels, which invariably attends disorder of the liver. In malarial complaints the liver is always involved, and it is a fortunate circumstance that this fine anti-bilious medicine is also the finest specific in existence for every form of malarisl disease. Nor is it less effica- cious for dyspepsia, failure Of appetite and strength. nervousness and rheu- matic tendency. 1t renews the ability to sleep, and greatly promotes conval- essence after wasting diseases.

Additional Errors Discovered.

WASHINGTON, August Additional errors in the punctuation in the new tariff bill are constantly being discover ed by the treasury officials. Today an important mistake was found in section of the free st. This section provides that articles of foreign manufacture must be stamped with the name of ori- gin, and then says: And unless so marked, stamped, branded or labelled, they shall not be delivered to the impor- ter, should any article of imported merchandise be marked, stamped, etc., in excess of the annuity exactly contain ed in such article" It is assumed that there should have been period estab- lished between the words "importer" and "shculd.' But Rs there is none, the paragraph, as 1t stands, IS unintelligable and may lead to serious em barrassments in its execution. Up to this time MT. Carlisle has not asked apy opinion of the attorpey-general upon any mistakes in the bill, and he will probably not do so until after the bill becomes law. The secretary, however, has expressed the opinion that all goods now in bond, which have been changed from dutiable to the free list, will be subject to the duty in force when imported, if with drawn for consumption. Goods can, however, be imported and then reimpor- ted. and thus receive the benefits of the free list.

HOG BRISTLES.

THE feed for little pigs should be sweet, and not sour.
 LITTLE pigs ought always to have ac- cess to fresh water for drink.
 LOOK out for the filthy pig sty and disease-breeding troughs and barrels during this hot weather.
 ALL wastes from the kitchen and table are wholesome and suitable as feed for pigs, but swilI-barrel that is never empty and never clean injures the system of hog and his owners profit.
 DON'T be so foolish as to refuse to let the hogs have the clover field until it is too tall and rank. The pigs should be put in the clover field as soon as it offers fair feeding, whether it be the first thing in the spring or after moving Then it will not outgrow them and become too old and woody to supply their needs.-Farm Journal.

SWIMMING ON WHEELS.
Two Bicy olists in Last Nights Cloud
 Burst.

That bicycle vii swim with rider
 aboard is not generally known, but am
 now prepared to say positively that a
 bicycle will swim.
 Two of us start on wheels yesterday at 4:50 from Oracle. The sky was clear,
 with just few clouds to the southward
 that ragged sharp flashes of lightning
 would occasionally part. The evening
 was cool, a good road with down grade
 was before us, and we anticipated de- lightful trip. Coats and shirts came of,
 and We rode only in unders4irts-With
 the usual lower garments. of course.
 We had delightful half hour at first,
 and had forgotten the clouds. It began to rain, and that was how we
 learned that bicycle can swim. Then
 it DO longer rained, but literally peited down on us. Those great drops struck our unprotected shoulders cruelty. It
 was like being struck with pebbles. The water simply settled from the clouds. In riding we swan. The roads
 were young rivers. Our pockets filled | with water. Our shoes filled with water. l Our clothing ca our handle bars sud- | denly quadru pled in weight. Our hats were smashed down around our heads, and our clothes seemed glued to us. A bicycle in swimming makes the same motion that one does in ordinary riding. We went bearly as fast, and the 1 machines had tbe old "crunkety -crunk crunkety that We had heard for | miles after miles.
 Our wheels threw off sprays all around till they resembled a circular saw in full motion. They threw up muddy water and mud that struck us aId stuck to us 1 in spots of mud the length of our bod ies. Our backs hsd dark line of the stuff down our undershirts, and even our hats were plastered.
 In swimming bicycle has a difficult motion not usual on dry land. The hind wheel becomes cross between a locomotive driving wheel and the hind bob of an old-fashioned back east bob sled going around a corner. The wheel will slip around and try to catch up with the front one by unfair means. Yet we hurried on, making our best pace. A fall from full speed would hurt no nor than any other kind.
 On we went, crunkety- -crunk. Such a deluge never struck this world since Noah. We passed freighter, his team standing crouching in the rain. An hour after the rain lessened, then ceased. We came to what had been a stretch of sand on our way out, and now 1t was a roar ing little river. Wheels were on our shoulders and we were soon across, not drop wetter than before we entered. A cold and very wet bite kindly provided for us on starting was partsken of as night closed down and made us strong CT. But our limbs had queer stiffness and soreness, and We could hardly walk straight. Once in the saddle again and We were soon reeling of the miles.
 We lad seen the pyrotechnics cf the heavens, grand lightning flashes about us everywhere, but no sight on that trip was so fine as that of the electric lights of Tucson. Thunder had crashed its grandest for us, but a sound far more musical to us was the toll of the 9o'clock curfew as we dismounted.

Base Ball.

It behooves the Tucson base bal players to get themselves in shape fol the series of games now offered them, ol quit the diamond shaped track. Fo- Grant and Deming have both signifieo their willingness to see what the Tucson nine are made of. As inquiries from the latter have provoked the Fort Grant ac- ceptance, the boys must do some tall rustling or suffer defeat at the bats of the strangers. Deming is more bold. She lays down the glove and dares the Tucson contigent to take it up. Will they do so? We believe they will, and We believe they will win, but the boys must get into practice. They must work hard or suffer humiliation and defeat. Practice can alone give confi- dence. Play ball, and play to win.

EQUALIZING OUR TAXES
Meeting of the Territorial Board in
 Phoenix.

| The territorial board of equalization consists of Auditor c. H. Boone, T. D SatterwhIte, of Tucson, from the first district; Col. P. Leith, of Pima, Graham l county, from the second district; and Morris Goldweter, of Prescott, from tn ( forth distrect; Ben Heney, of, Tucson IT t9e secretary, and very competent and courteous one at that. Yesterday the full board held their regular August meeting at Auditor Boone' office, in the Fleming block. Petitions were presented frem two rail roads asking for reduction in thelr ass- ess valuation
 T he Atlantic & Pacific requested that the boards rating of 5000 per mile be lowered to S3,OOO. A supplementary petlIoa, however, intImated that S4,00O would not be unacceptable. The re- ductlou WAS only asked as 0 temporary measure, necessI ItateG oy tie hard times, the recent strike and the fact that the road was in the hands of a reciever.
 Bullocks' old road, the Prescott & Arizona Central, which threw up the sponge, ceased running am went into the hands of reciever as soon as the Santa Fe, Prescott 6 Phoenix railroad from Ash Fork reached Yavapai's capitol, thought $500 per mile would be a high rating for it, particularly as it has already defsulted on it's taxes for the past two years.
 Col. Herring appeared and made one of his skillful pleas in favor of reducing last yesr's assessment of S6,OO0 per mile to 4,9OO on the Arizona dE Southeastern railroad, from Benson to Farbank.
 All these petitions were taken under consideration. As soon as they are disposed of, other properties, such as live stock and lands will be equalizad' Returns from Pinsl county are not yet ID, and the board cannot proceed be- yond the railroad CESS, till they are sent in.

On St. Johns day Bob Crandall had a horse. He rode him to Silver Lake to see the the COW pony races announced for that day. Arriving at the place he fastened his animal to convenient stake and joined the crowd at the track. On his return later the stake was still there. but the horse, saddle and bride were gone. Bob still wore his spurs, but the stake would not be ridden bare back, so Bob had to foot it home. The horse had disappeared as .mysteriously as if the earth had swallowed him up. Yes terday horse answering the description of the missing one was reported at the Rincon's, about 20 miles east of Tucson. Bob left this morning to recover the animal if possible.
