BISBEE SUNBEAMS
Bisbee. July 24. 1895.

Tho Tombstone Bard would do us a favor by getting lis harp half-shod. Tue beer that wrote that lay was tuned up with the wrong bung starter. When he says: "when you made that gallant bluff. we were ready with our stuff" he was lar of from the truth. When we made the bluff" we meant it, and expected Tombstone to accept the challenge, as we did theirs. The phonograph sOes cn with his wall to the "91:ec, that "you (we) hno" you cant beat Tombstone ,laying ball That may be so, but where was Tomb stones "stuff" along about the eighth inningS It was in the same place as was Tombstone's "stuff" before the hose race. We wart,d q 10 knock the pants of the chronic liver comp plaint of Tombstone and iyited him 10 yowl, which, as Ambroce Bierce would say, he done it.

OUR single standard friends once upon a time delighted 10 point out Mexico as a living example of the evils resulting from the attempted bi- meiallism and the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver. Of late they have turned their backs on that country, for the reason that be- nighted Mexico has so little sense of the fness of things ss to prosper on 8 silver standard as she has never pros- pered before. As matter of simple fact, Mexico is neither a bimetsllic country nor a free coinage country. All Mexican coinage is strictly upon a silver basis, and tax of Al per cent. on all silver coined, and 4.6l per cent. on all gold coined, is levied by the government. There are several things our gold bug friends could learn. fl they cared to learn anything, about the currency issue.

time, amid the multiplicity of his duties
and in addition to looking after the in
terests of his clients to make a full and
careful study of new law and then
promptly publish book thereupon. Yet
that is what has been done by well
known member of the Suffolk coun-

No More Cast Iron Water Pipes.

In the opinion of practical and expert
enced judges the days of cast iron water
pipes as compared with steel are nearing
an end. They are considered to represent
too much dead weight for too little
strength. In fact, it is asserted that able
engineers long ago reached the conclusion
that the most costly and least satisfactory
way of protecting iron against oxidation
is with mere bulk of its own substance,
and those concerned IN the future of the
cast iron pipe admit that it is destined soon
to take its place among the materials
forced into disuse by the progress of arts
Many claim that welded steel tube is the
ideal conduit for high pressures.-

THE DOCTORS FAILED.

There are but few diseases that puzzle
physicians more than rheumatism. There
are Il great many theories Us to its cause
and great many theories as 10 the best
means of curingit, most Of which are absurd
One of the greatest sufferers of rheuma-
tism known in the annals of medicine is
John G. jerks, of Riverside, II. L. He
became the victim of rheumatism while
in the army, and the disease seems to
have given him taste Of all its various
tortures. Physiciansand medicines failed to
give him any relief, until at last he effected
his own deliverance from the bonds of pain.
"Rheumatisln!" said Mr.. jerks, when the
subject was preached by reporter who
went to hear his story. "Well, ! should
say do know something about it; all
learned by actual experience, too. ] first
contracted rheumatism in the army, and I
have had every variety of the affection
since, and have suffered such agony with it
that at times death was pleasant thought
to dwell upon. Take medicine? Enough
to stock drug store, and none of it did ME
any good. Then | began to study the dis
case myself. ] made up my mind to get
acquainted with the enemy and fight it on
different lines. / had a theory of my own
and began to look around for remedy that
was calculated to have the desired effect
One after another was tried until at last
hit upon Pain Killer, which applied freely.
Almost with the first application came re-
lief. Ikepton using it and the rheumatism
was sooa Knocked out. Neither have had
any return of the trouble.
Il also used Pain-Killer internally for
the agIe. another war relic 1t did what
pounds Of Guininc couldn't do.
Dain-Killer keeps guard in my house
against all ills and IL has never vet Int al
