Memphis. Tenn, July 23.-In the last
twenty-four hours there have been three
attempts, partly successful, to burn rail-
road property and two engineers who
worked through the strike have been as
saulted.
The first incendiary effort was on a
Missouri Pacific ear. The ear which was
burning when the flames We're first discov-
cred, is a total wreck. Half of another car
is also burned Had the flames got bead-
way the gas works would have been
wrecked.
About thirty minutes after the discovery
of the first fire a Kansas City, Fort Scott
Memphis and birmingham box car, which
stood near the middle Of fifteen cars on a
track within q few feet of Dryden & Yatess
big -four mills was found to be on fire
Prompt work of the fire department saved
the mills and the cars, one of which, how
ever, was totally destroyed. Officers on
duty near the fires saw six men emerge
from behind the Tennessee brewery and
take to their heels.
Rioters today gathered around the men
who were at work in the yards and made
threats One engineer was assaulted with
\ long knife. James Walsh an engineer

Don't Offer a Reward

For your lost appetite. AL know that it
is valuable piece of personal property,
but why go to the expense when Hostet-
ter's Stomach Btters will restore it to
you. A course of that unparalleled tonic
and corrective not only induces return
of the relish for food, but confers upon
the stomach the power to crafty appe-
tite without unpleasant sensations after
ward. For the purpose Of quickening
digestion, arousing dormant liver or
kidneys, and establishing regularity of
the bowels, no medicine can exceed this
genial family cordial, in which the pure
alcoholic principle is modified by blend
ing with it botanic elements of the high
est efficacy. Avoid the fiery unalloyed
stimulants of commerce as a means of
overcoming inactivity of any of the or
gans above mentioned, and use, instead,
the Bitters. This professionally sane
toned medicine rem edies malarial and
rheumatic ailments.

Santa Fe, the city of the Holy Faith of
st. Francis, is situated on the site of an
ancient Indian Pueblo called O-ga.p- ho.ge.
It is probably the oldest civilized COM
m,lnity in the United States and the most
ancient of American capitals. The Spanish
town was founded in 1905. Authorities dis.
agree as to whether this city or San Angus.
tin, Fla, were first founded. Santa Fe was
first visited by American traders in 1904
and from that time dated wonderful era
of prosperity. The thrilling incidents of the
old Santa Fe trail, starting from Westport
Mo-, gave it world wide fame.
THE WORLDS ONLY sAN1TARIuN.
Prof. Mark Harrington, chief of the U. S
weather bureau, says: "Santa Fe is in the
drest habitable part of the United States
This region is extensive, and changes in
form from season to season, but Santa Fe is
always in it."
1t is situated in charming nook of the
Santa Fe range, and its climate is dominated
by the influence Of mountain peaks that
tower nearly 14,00O feet high Together
with this it lies at an altitude of7,015 feet,
and latitude, about the Both degree north,
that gives it peculiar advantage asa SAN
itarium. The elevation tempers the summer
heats, which naturally should be about that

its southern situation reduces the rigors of
winter As an illustration during the win
ter of 1893, the daily public concerts in the
plaza were only stopped three times by
weather, and last winter the omission did
not exceed half a dozen.
The altitude compels the lungs to work,
and no one in Santa Fe can be accused of
being "too lazy to breathe" as a great ply.

With somber phrase, ''your pretty face
There is mo spring, there is no fall,
AMI biting winter finds no place.
One light, one warmth, one tender air,
One endless summer harbors there.
In that dear country, side by side,
There bc two placid lakes that sleep,
'Twere worth a kingdom to divide
Each gay, unfathomable deep,
And daring all things to possess
The secrets of your souls recess.

TO watch the whispering western wind
Go ruffling all the whitened wheat
Nor leave the tiniest track behind,
To see the wanton wavelets rear
Their crests along the grassy mere.

Lead on its fairy footed dance
From end to end of that dear isle
And dimples all the fair expanse,
And stoops its course and floats and flies
In ripples DER your laughing eyes.

from that dreaded scourge.
