On board one of the great ocean liners

R. |. REGATTA.
A Good Start Followed by
Almost Dead Calm.

The postponed annual open regatta OF
the Rhode Island Yacht Club was sailed
today in very favorable northwest wind.
Most OF the yachts entered were at Fall
River yesterday and 1t was nearly noon
before, all OF them arrived, causing a
slight decay. 81
The wind was very light in the fore
noon, but as the time for the start APP
preached 1t freshened into good whole
sale breeze.
AL. Leete, in the absence OF Captain
Charles Smith, acted as chairman OF the
race.
The Cape Cod yachts were not in the
race.
The first gun was fired at 1920 o'clock
when the blue peter was run up. Ten
minutes later the sloops of tine first class
started, followed by the other classes.
The courses selected were for
first class to Warwick Neck
then to Rumstick buoy returning
TO starting point. The boats in the other
classes, except in the small class, went to
Rumstick Point and returned. The small
crafts went to Silver Spring, then to

A Life Sentence.

The jury in the Jose Marques case returned verdict of guilty as charged in the indictment It was thought by many that the sentence would be hang ing, but there was no evidence that the murder was a premeditated one, and Judge Hawkins sentenced Marques to imprisonment for life.
 The crime for which Jose Marques will serve the territory for the rest of his life was the killing of Thomas Grady at Moqui Station on the Grand Canyon stage line. The murder was committed on the morning ot Septem- Der 14th, 1893. Grady was popular, and had Marques been caught at the time, it is quite likely that his case would have never came to trial. He made good his escape, and was al large until April 18th, 1891, when he was captured near Las Vegas, N. M. by ex-Sheriff Ralph H. Cameron, and was the next day placed in the Coco. nino county jail, where he remained until his trial. Sheriff Donahue and Deputy Johnson left Tuesday with Marques and Smith and Davis, the horse thieves, for Yuma.

What Push Does,

Northern Arizona is that part of the territory where they have simon-pure cheek, and where they make it prevail, too.
 Flagstaff IS going to have a court house-a $15, ,000 court house, and that in the face of an overwhelming debt, the Harrison act, and injunctions from boards of supervisors that they shall not build any court house.
 Impediments like these do not stand up there, for they have genuine enter prise. They set to work when baked by the injunction and raised subscrip- ton of $400. With this they sent D. M. Riordan, one of thelr citizens, to Washington, to prevail on Congress to build that $15,000 court house. On the face of it the idea seems prepos- terous. Congress, with its tariff bill hurrying them on and senators fight ing the administration and defending it, would hardly seem likely place to get favors. Yet it went, and in the face of adversities and rebuf MT. Riordan got his special bill through and the president signed it. Thus it is that Flagstaff will get a court house after ll.--Rulletin,

Brace the Nerves,

Sedatives and oplates won't do it.. These nervines do not make the nerves strong, and failing to do this fall short of producing the essential of their qui- etude- vigor And while in extreme cases-and these only-of nervous irri- tation such drugs may be advisable, their frequent use is highly prejudicial to the delicate organism upon which they act, and in order to renew their quieting effect increased and danger ons doses eventually become necessary. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is an eff
 cient substitute for such pernicious drugs. It vuiets the norves by bracing, toning strengthening them. The con- pection between weakness of the nerv- ous system and that of the organs of digestion is strong and sympathetic link. The bitters, by imparting a healthful impulse to the digestive and assimilating functions, and promotes throughout the whole system vigor in which the nerves come in for a large share. Use the bitters in malaria, con. tipation, bilious and,kidney trouble.
