Boiler Expio,ions

There was a time within the memory
OF some people now living, when the
explosion Of steam boilers was Of no
uncommon occurrence The crszs for
steamboat racing on the Mississippi
river WAS the cause of most OF these
casualties and It Is likely that few
boats made their regular trips without
stralnIng the capacity Of their boilers to
the utmost. and It wss considered as
much as anyone's life was worth to take
q passage In them. Many stories are told
OF those times when timid people became
so excited In the race that they would
beg the captain to put on more combusti
bles. regardless Of consequences
But ali that Is done with We hsar no

the lakes or on the sound, and people who
go on a steamboat now feel as free from
danger as they would at home In their
own beds. It is years since steam
boiler has been considered dangerous, in
fact 1t has been the belief OF most people
that il was impossible for them to *
plode under any circumstances than
those Of the most unjustifsble careless
ness. yet now amid this consciousness Of
safety we have been awakened BY ter
ribls accident from this cause.
The news Of the Fall River boiler
explosion is not new, 1t has been
circulated throughout the country for
days and weeRs, but 1t has made last
ing impression. renewed long dormant
fear and led to much Inquiry as to its
cause. ard whether such accidents are
absolutely unpreventable2 So far as We
can learn the cause remains an absolute
mystery. There IS no reason to believe
the engineer was at fault and the theory
that there was a flaw IL the boiler is
met by the fact that It hai been In
use five years, duing which time It had
been often subjected to . higher pres
sure than 1t is believed existed at the
time Of its explosion.
The builders Of the boiler have given
the following statement TO the public.
The boiler WAS built under the inspec
tion Of the Hartford Insurance ana In
spection Company, was thoroughly
examined by them under pressure az the
builders works. and their policy Of
Insurance. and certificate was isausd
pronouncing the boiler perfect IN every
respect. They carried a policy Of inaur-
anca on the boiler for three years, at the
expiration OF which time the owner
decided to 80 without Insurance, and also
the customary inspection BY al expert
representative Of the company, which Is
required under the policy. II any haw
in the material did develop it could have
easily been detected and remedled In the
way Of ordinary repairs, II It hsd been
subjected to the usual inspection and
care.
From this statement It would appear
that the fault, If any, lay with the owner
OF the bel!er in not having it inspected
frequently enough Boilers like every
thing else wear out and the solution, in
our minds, is that this vas the cause Of
this terrible accident. The law requires
inspec ion at cer.ain periods but evi
deutly not often enough. and il this Is So
the duty Of boiler inspectors should d,
looked into. II necessary they should
be inspected every day In the year and
their owners made to pay for IT. Penu-
robustness should not b consid sred when
human life Is at stake.

PATENTS.
Notice to Inventors.

There was never a time in the his
tory Of our country when the demand
for inventions and Improvements in
the arts and sciences generally was so
great as now. The conveniences OF
mankind in the factory and workshop,
the household, on the farm, and in Of
ncial life, require continual accessions
to the appurtenances and implements
of each in order to saw labor, time
and expense. The political change in
the administration of governmental does
not affect the progress of the Amcri'
can inventor, who being on the alert,
and ready to preceiye the existing de-
lciences, docs not permit the affairs
of government TO deter him from
quickly conceiying the remedy to over
come the existing discrepancies. Too
great care cannot be exercised in
choosing a competent and skillful at
torney to prepare and prosecute an
application for patent. Valuable In

Of things-it shows itself in many ways.
At first, perhaps a little heaviness in the
stomach, a little sourness, windy belchings
and heartburn. Headaches begin to come
pretty soon after that, and biliousness and
a foul taste in the mouth in the morning.
Chronic constipation is almost inevitable,
and It is probably the most serious trouble
that ever takes hold Of a man. It's seeming
simplicity is the thing that makes it most
dangerous, because it leads to neglect.
Constipation means that the body is hold
ing poisonous, impure matter that should
be gotten rid of. The poison is being re-
absorbed into the blood and the whole BODY
is being filed with it. Impurity in the
blood may lead to almost any disease.
There is no telling what may come of it.
Constipation is the start of il all. And yet
people are careless about II. It IL the most
serious thing in the world, and the easiest
to cure if you go about it right. DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. Cure
it positively, certainly, infallibly. Cure il
so it stays cured. Cure it so you can stop
taking medicine.
pAnd that is something that no other
remedy in the world will do.

President Colquhoun Of the Arizona
copper company and Secretary Miller
Of the Scottish Office Of the same COM
pany, were iu the city Wednesday, en-
route to Blsbee and Verde, to more
thoroughly investigate the bessemer
conyerters, by which the matte is con-
verted into bullion. The Arizona
copper company has been operating at
Clifton since 1882 and last month it
declared the FIRST dividend in the his
tory of the company. This was such
a surprise to the stock holders that
shares which a few months ago we're
scarcely worth a dollar each now read
ily sell for Sl6 10 the Edinburg market.
The company Is now able to work n
much lower grade than ever before, In
fact is handling at a profit a three per
cent ore. This enablesi it to work the
ole that formerly went into the waste
dumps and IL is now working many OF
the old dumps. It's product has in
creased from five and one-half million
to eleven million pounds a year. All
Of this has been accomplished under
the management OF Mr.. Colquhoun,
and the company can mark it down as
a red letter day when he was placed in
charge. Previous to that time the af-
fairs of the company at Clifton had
been managed in a hap-hazard and ex-
t%rayagant manner Mr. Colquhoun
then had charge of the shelters and il
is presumed noticed the mistakes
that we're made. When he was placed
in charge these problems confronted
him: How to reduce the expenses Of
the company, the cost of producing
copper and to increase the output.
That he was successful may be seen
when it is known that be has paid Off
all the floating debts of the company,
paid back interest on the bonds, paid
the first dividend on the shares and
put its credit in first class shape. The
company o has larger bodies Of ore
blocked ont than ever before in its his.
tory, and with its ability to work low
grade ores, which will be fur her i'm
proved, it is safe to see that the com
pany has many years Of prosperity I'M
rolling before IT,.

Recently a cowboy who had worked
in the Indian territory for years came
TO this section Of the country for a
change of climate. lie looked ia vain
for work in the San Simon valley and
then started for the Animas valley to
see il he could get a job there. While
travelling along an Indian rode into
the road behind him and bailed him.
lie was used to meeting Indians in
the territory, where, as compared
with the Apaches, they are tame, and
he was not startled at the sight Of a
red skin. lie could not talk Apache
nor Spanish but the Indian could talk
a little English. They had a pleasant
visit. The Indian explained he had
been hunting and had run short Of
ammunition, and wanted a few cart
ridges, which we're cheerfuuy given
him, and the two parted the best OF
friends. When the cowboy got over
in the AnimaS and learned something
Of the gentle nature of the Apache,
and the cheerful manner in which
they would kill a man to get a few
cartridges, the hair on the top of his
head assumed an upright position aud
he did not get it smuothcd down for
three days.

LATE Thompson, well known on the
ella and in Lordsburg, has got into
family trouble in FL Paso. He has
been working at the smelter and hirt-
ing with a woman named Hattie Ba-
ker, who has a shady reputation that
extends us far as Clifton and Silver
City. Recently, while Mrs. ThOmp-
son wa visiting i'm Phoenix, Lafe in
stalled the Baker woman in her place
in his house. On Mrs. Thompson's re-
turn she heard of this and went to
the Baker woman, who was in the
hospital, and warned her to keep away
from LATE when she got well. Mon
day the Baker told LATE she was going
to ride by his house and t~antalize his
wife. He advised her not to do so.
Notwithstanding the warning the
woman took her bicycle and with an
other woman Of her class rode up
to the house. Mrs. Thompson saw
them coming, got a s~iX-shooter and
hid behind 4 box-car. When they
were within forty yards of her she
came out. The women we're walking
the wheels over the track. As soon
as the Baker saw Mrs. Thompson she
started to run. Mrs. Thompson took
deliberate aim at her and fired, the
bullet entered the back under the
ribs, ranged up and came out of the
left breast. The woman ran u few
steps and fell. She lived but a few
moments. Mrs. Thompson is well
known in Lordsburg and is highly re-
specled. Fl. Q. Day, for whom Lafe
worked for several years, speaks in
the highest terms Of her, he says that
LATE used to he a good workman but
that in recent years he has been worth
less, having become opposed to hard
work. There is no recent record Of
any person being punished in Ell Paso
for murder and it, is to be hoped that
no Tel Paso jury will go back on this
record and convict "A person so clearly
justified as was Mrs. Thompson.
The Ell PaSo Times sprung a beauti-
full fake on its unsuspecting readers
last Friday. 1t had ~ thrilling de-
scriptiOn of how Que OF Nhc street cars
in its town ran down and over a pc.
destrian. The Times ought to know
that the Ell Paso street cars reputa-
tion for slowness reaches from ocean
to ocean and no n familiar with that
reputation will believe that one Of
the cars ever overlook a pedestrian.
The only time one Of the cars ever ran
over a man was when an ex.cmploye
of the Times got drunk, laid down on
the track aud waited for the car to
come along. The El Paso street cars
are not trolly cars.
