much comment. 1t was all ec pdrte, bu
in the line of news; it was not a trial, and
there was no official obligation of truth
imposed upon any of the newspaper wit
nesses or writers-but it was news then.
Now, however, when the case comes
into tribunal for trial according to the
laws of our country, the metropolitan
press all but drop the case; it assumes
that its own trial" was all sufficient for
news purposes, and but few hastily
jotted lines are given concerning facts
developing under judicial scrutiny; and
these are mainly the expressions OF the
opinions of the reporters. such as in the
paragraph we have quoted.
We submit to our contemporaries of the
metropolis if this is the kind of journal
ism they would advise young news
paper man to adopt, in sober earnest; If
they themselves are willing, should they be
brought to the bar of justice, to be meas
ured by the same rule and treated to the
same medicine; if they really believe that
such low and vulgar plane of journal
ism is calculated to elevate their calling
and command for it the decent regard of
mankind.

COMMON SENSE TRUTHS.

An Able Physician Explains the After
Effects of Grip, the Condition In
Which 1t Leaves People, and the
Only Thing To Do.
at is very slow process ~
The speaker was a prominent physician.
Continuing, he said:
''l mean getting over the after-effects of the
grip. Anyone who has seen as much of it as
have can easily understand it. The grip lasts
for long time, and seems to take special
hold upon the system. 1t frequently runs into
pneumonia, sometimes leaves the hearing par
TALLY impaired, the throat with an irritating
soreness, and the stomach with impaired di-
gestion. 1t seems to take a long time TO re-
cover the strength the energy or the ambition
after one has had run of the grip and we
frequently find neuralgia, rheumatism and
even worse things fol owing 1t.
Nov, what should any sensible man or
woman do under these circumstances? The
answer seems hard, but is really easy. Sim
ply help Nature TO get over the trOuble-stim-
ulate the body and faculties Just "a little. This
is what every good physician III the land ad-
yocates IN order to drive grip out of the sys-
tenn. 1t should be remembered, however, that
the stimulant must be pure, and that nothing
for this purpose is equal to good whisky. 1t is
unfortunate however, that there is so little
pure medicinal whisky to be found, and, in
TACT, it can be truly said that there is but one
strictly medicinal whisky upon the market,
and that is Dufys Pure Malt 1t is not like
ordinary whisky, however much druggists
and grocerS may say so. 1t has, in fact, prop
critics possessed by no other, and Is beyond
question stimulant which can safely and eff
fectually be taken to prevent the grip or drive
away its most disastrous after-effects."

big whale suddenly appeared directly ahead and about one mile away. The locality is given as eight miles south east by south of the Scotland lightship.
 His whaleship, the second officer said, headed directly for Fl Norte and was swishing through the water at q rate that would have been the envy of a torpedo boat.
 There are some international rules about the conduct of craft that are about to meet head on, but collisions with whales have not been considered. The second officer was therefore at q loss to know just what to do. The whale relieved his perplexity by put ting his tail to starhoard and going sputtering past the steamship. He spouted three times as he went by and, not to be outdone in courtesy, the ship dipped her flag three times in acknowl edgement of the salute.
 The whale dived, reappeared again and then headed town the coast, prob ably to fill an engagement as sea ser pent off Long Branch. The engines of Ell Norte, which had been slowed, began to sob again and the rest of the story is not worth printing.-N Y. Times.

Bursting the Bag.

''One form of amusement that chill dren have now that they didn't use to have when I was a boy" said Mr.
 Bozzle, lis the fun of busting the bag. Nowadays many things come from the grocer and elsewhere in paper bags, and let me bust the bag is familiar household request. The youngster takes the empty bag and with his thumb and forefnger around the open end of it he forms a neck with an opening through which he may infiate it. Then with sudden whack he brings the bag down upon the other hand and explodes it with a report whose loud ness is determined by the size of the bag, the fullness of it's imitation. the

A German Joke.

The following fraud upon an insur- ance company, which we find in the Deutsche Tabak-Zeitung is certainly just little too good to be true: "A cunning fellow, who wanted to smoke the best cigars at the cheapest possible cost, bought one thousand cigars of the highest quality and corresponding price, and immediately insured the whole stock. When he had smoked the last of them, he demanded seven hundred and fifty marks from the in surance company on the ground that the whole of his insured stock, ten boxes of cigars, had been consumed by fire! The Solomonic court decided in favor of the plaintiff. The company then brought an action of conspiracy against the smoker, accusing him of having Intentionally put fire to his own cigars and deliberately destroyed his property. Hereupon the same wise court condemned the insured smoker to three months Imprisonment"

AN ESCAPE FROM HOUNDS.
Undesirable Experience of Boy Pursued

Undesirable Experience of Boy Pursued
 by Hunters Pack.
 A small boy playing the part of the fox in an exciting chase on the Cedar Hollow hills near Phenixville, Pa., says the Philadelphia Record, narrow ly escaped being torn to pieces by a pack of hounds the other day. The dogs had not enjoyed a run for weeks, and their owner decided to give them a little exercise. Taking bag from the box in which he keeps several foxes, and which the Reynards slept upon, he gave it to boy. He told the lad to drag the heavilyscented bag across the hills, and he would turn loose the hounds. The boy had long start and had disappeared beyond the brow of a distant knoll when the owner released the eager dogs. Around they circled until one of them struck the trail, and away they dashed in pursuit of the bogus fox.
 Instantly a great fear seized the hun ter. It dawned upon him that if the hounds overlook the lad they would tear him to pieces. Without longer hesitating he rushed to the stable, bridled a horse and galloped in pursuit of the paying hounds. They had good start, and the owner knew that the boys life depended upon whether the hounds or the horsemen reached him first. In no real fox chase did the veteran hunter ever ride more furi- ously.
 It was a long. hard gallop, but he had told the boy where to drag the bag, and by a short cut reached him ahead of the hounds. The dogs were close upon him and running madly. The owner seized the astonished boy and lifted him upon the horse beyond the reach of the hounds, which he could even then hardly prevent from tearing the boy to pieces.

 Fl Norte is steamship which swings between this port and New Orleans with pendulum-like regularity. The reports of strange marine happenings which her officers make are about as uniform. Not long ago she found her way into the newspapers, when Chief Officer Benson told about fleet of phantom schooners which he had ob- served riding in the atmosphere off Cape Hatteras.
 The boat got into harbor the other day with some observations about whales recorded in her logbook. Capt. Hawthorne is skipper of the craft, but he does not come into this story at all. The second officer, who will have noth- ing to do with that sort of distinction which is given by printers ink, says that Fl Norte was logging along, at tending to her own business, when

CLOSE OF THE TRAGEDY.
An Earthy Curtain Falls Upon
 It Today.
The Funeral of Murderer and Sui- eide Secrest and His Wife
 The Result Of the Inquest.

The funeral of Thomas N. Secrest, the murderer and suicide, and that of his wife and victim, will take place at 8 o'clock this afternoon from the under taking rooms of Randall < Davis. The bodies will be carried the cemetery in separate hearses but in the same pro- cession. Morbid interest iu the funeral lies, beside in it's double character, in the tragic manner in which the subjects came to their death.
 An answer was received yesterday morning from Mrs. Madeline Gardiner of La Grande, Ore., daughter of the deceased, saying that sine had tele- graphed her grand par ents in Ohio who would send instructions concerning the disposition of the remains. It also stated that her brother Wanda, would start for Phoenix at once.
 No instructions were received iast night and as the bodies had not been embalmed the funeral could not be de- layed beyond today.
 A man named Butler, chief timber man at the Mammoth mine, arrived late last night from Goldfeld to take charge of the funeral. News of the tragedy did not reach the mining camp until 7 o'clock last night. Secrest's fellow employees hastily collected a purse of $100 and Butler at once set out for Phenlx. By furious riding and change of horses at Mesa City, he reached town shortly before midnight.
 The inquest which began im- mediately after the death of Se- crest and his wife, WAS con- cluded yesterday morning before Justice Kincaid. The proceedings were brief and developed nothing be- yond what was published in THE RE PUBLICAN yesterday morning. In fact, not quite SO much since no effort was made to discover the motive. This usual part of such investigations was omitted for the reason that the result of 1t could avail nothing. The mur- derer as well as his victim was dead and their secret might, so far as the law was concerned, be buried with them.
 The testimony taken was, therefore. only formal. The witnesses were Chas. w. Stevens and J. L. B. Alexander, who witnessed the killing, Marshal Molloy and Jailor Al Hawley, who vis- ited the house in an official capacity, J. M. Gregory, proprietor of the hotel at which Mrs. Secrest resided until two weeks ago, Steve Bailey, who knew Secrest at Goldfeld, Jesse Mayc.oud. an acquaintance, and Barry Secrest, the 13-year old son of the unfortunate pair. The testimony of these witnesses diff fered In no particular from what they told REPUBLICAN reporter the night before.
 The jury returned verdict of death. in the case of Thomas N. Secrest, by suicide, and Tn the case of his wife, Anna M. Secrest, of death at the hands of her husband.
 No disposition has been made of the furniture in the house in which they lived. An application will likely be made in probate court for the appoint ment of 8 guardian for the boy. to to take charge of it and whatever other property may be discovered in this county, for his benefit.
 The boy is still residing with Jesse Maycloud.
