SAVED BY A BRIDGE.


An Aeronaut's Narrow Escape From a
Descending Balloon.
From the Louisville Courier-Journai
That George Hubbard is alive Is no
| fault OF the balloon, but purely on ac-
count Of the X. & I. bridge Hubbard
is the aeronaut who does the balloon
ascension and parachute-decension
whenever they do not turn out other
wise. and who met with a fearful fan
last Sunday afternoon.
he was down on the programme at
National park yesterday afternoon
When the time came the spectators
surged around the balloon, and some
several feet in length. Hubbard, how
ever, avowed his determination to
make the trip anyhow. He didn't in
tend to be scared by as little a thing
as big hole in his balloon. So he Sc
cured several pins and pinned UP the
hole, and few miutes later he leaped
into the basket. the balloon was re-
leased and 1t shot upward, the para
chute dangling down. They became
tangled In the branches Of a tree as
1t darted up.
He'll jump out now" speculated the
spectators, almost holding their breath.
Just as they were drawing this Infer
ence they saw Hubbard draw knife
and, leaning out, cut the rope which
held the parachute. leaving the para
chute hanging on the tree. The bal
loon continued upward and northward,
and at last to the spectators who saw
the start 1t became a mere speck In the
sky.
AS it dwindled into a dot to the eye
OF the Louisville spectators 1t grew in
to balloon to several witnesses on the
Indiana side. The latter saw 1T sailing
In their direction. AS they saw 1T
coursing thus they also noticed that
Its tendency was downward. They
watched 1t intently and with tremb-
ling. They saw the aeronaut was in
a critical condition, lowering over the
river and dropping more and more !
each second. tet--S
He will surely perishr' the cry went /
up.
They saw the balloon suddenly strike
one of the braces OF the X. & /. bridge
and at the same time a man clutched
at the braces and leaped from the fall
ing balloon and alighted safely on the |
bridge. The man was Hibberd. AS he |
found himself sound. he peeped down |
to watch the fate of his balloon and |
saw IT sink into the river many feet |
below.

BOARD OF TRADE.
semi-Annual Election of an Executive
Committee Tonight.


Missoula, May 19.-At the special
meeting of the board Of trade to-mor-
row, Monday. evening the only busi-
ness that will be transacted will be the
semi-annual election of an executive
committee. The officers OF the board
are chosen by this committee. which
also dictates the policy OF the board.
The Importance of selecting a good
committee to carry forward the good
work already inaugurated is apparent
and for that reason alone there should
be a large attendance at the board
meeting Monday evening.
The future success of the board de-
ponds largely upon the executive COM
mittee. Several important enterprises
are now well under way as a result of
the splendid work done by Judge
Francis, president OF the board, and
the executive committee. That these
various schemes may be carried on to
a successful contamination there must
be good men on the executive COM
mittee. Every member of the board
should be present at this meeting that
there may be no doubt as to the sem
timent of the organization. A full rep
resentation will mean a cordial en-
dorsement Of the work OF the retiring
officers. and that is what they deserve.

Fighting Worms.

Army worms have made their appear

many vineyardists are taking precautions
to prevent the spread of this dreaded

The Indian Reservation!

The Yuma Times says the open
ing Of the Yuma Indian Reservation
to public settlement, under an ar
rangement Of August 1898, with
the Department of the Interior,
marks an epoch in the develop
ment of the country around Yuma
that is of great importance to us as
people.
This fertile tract Of land lying
on the west bank of the Colorado
River, extending for fifteen miles
on it's border and reaching out to-
ward the Colorado Desert for
eight miles; embraces scventy-two
sections of bottom land,as rich as
ever delighted the heart of the
husbandman or frightened the eye
of the orchardist;
In it's natural state, without the
aid of irrigation, the Yuma Indian
raises upon it the earliest water
melons, corn and vegetables that
reach this market, known to be the
earliest in the country. With irri-
cation the possibilities of it are
boundless.
Upon these lands are found an al
most exhaustless supply of timber
and firewood, while the whole bot
tom is covered with the most nntri-
tious of grazing grasses.

An Answer.

A patron wishes to know how
much the public debt has been re-
duced since the coinage of silver
was stopped?
Answer-Not single dollarl
On the contrary it has been increas-
ed s162, 100000 says the Enquirer.
There are lying idle in the Treas
ury vaults s55,000,000 of silver
bullion which belongs to the Gov
ernment which Secretary Carlisle
could send to the mint without any
additional legislation, and which,
if coined, could be lawfully and
properly used in the payment Of
any Indebtedness of the United
States. AS reduction Of the vol
ume of lawful money increases the
purchasing power of what is left
the burden of the public debt is
growing heavier. The reason Civ
en- for not coming the seignorage
is q substantial one. The Roths-
childs syndicate would refuse to
let our Government have any more
gold on our bonds if we coined
dishonest money. So long as the
policy of Sherman, Clevelend, Car
Isle & Co. is maintained ofincreas-
ing the gold interest-bearing bonds
for the benefit of foreign gold
syndicates we can sustain our
foreign credit. Our patron will
have better understanding of the
situation, and why we have not re-
duced our public debt, when he
realizes that every silver dollar,
every greenback, every Treasury
note, every silver certificate, every
national bank note, amounting in
the aggregate to over one thousand
million of dollars, are redeemable
only in gold coin on demand, and
that we have not half enough gold
to redeem them; and then takes
into account that the accruing in
terest on our large and increasing
bonded debt is payable in gold
only. He must also remember.
that our exports do not bring
enough gold to pay interest ON our
railroad securities held abroad,
and that this deficit must be pro-
vided for. Possibly our friend will
be grateful that our debts are not
increasing any faster.

DA GAMA'S FALL.
Finding the Battle Lost He Cut His Owl
Throat.

Throat.
From one of the rebels who es-
capped capture by the government
troops after the insurgent def.at
near Santa Ana, Rio Grande de Sui,
Brazil, last week details of the last
battle in which Admiral de Cana
took part and of his suicide, have
been secured.
The admiral, at the head of a
force of 400 sailors, was engaged
by brigade of government soldiers
numbering 1900. The battle lasted
five hours, and at least 300 men
were killed and wounded. Some
Of the insurgents advised Da Cana
to retreat, but he refused and they
abandoned him. With a handful
of men the admiral repulsed five
charges of the government cavalry,
but the struggle was hopeless, and,
seeing that all was lost, Da Cana
ordered a retreat, and then cut his
own throat. Da Gama's body was
taken to Santa Ana by the govern
ment troops and there horribly
mutilated. The throats of many
of the captured rebels were cut by
the victorious soldiers.

In speaking of annexation, the
president says: awhile the an
nexation of this country to the
United States of America has not
been accomplished, it still remains
the policy of the government. Its
will be earnestly
sought, with an abiding faith that
such a result will be lasting ben
eft to our country" The presi-
dent is in favor of Pacific cable.

Globe on the Verge of a Boon

Hon A. D. Underwood returned
from Globe yesterday morning.
He reports that town as on the
edge of a great mining boom which
he says is sure to come. The big
Buffalo mines under the manage
ment of DR.. T.. H. Cook are being
put in readiness and work with a
large force of men will be shortly
begun.
The Old Dominion in the hands
of its new proprietors is also shap-
ing itself for action.
In the belief of Mr.. Underwood
700 men will be at work within the
next 60 days.
The Bowie and Globe railroad
has been completed as far as Fort
Thomas and as soon as it has been
definitely settled when work in
the Globe mines will be resumed
the railroad will be pushed for
ward with vigor and completed.
This done the greatest mineral dis
trict in the entire country will be
put in close communication with
the outside world. AT that time
the boom will begin in dead earn
est and mines will be made to pour
out wealth that now because of
their isolation cannot be worked
There appears to be some trouble
about the right of way on the San
Carlos reservation. Capt. Meyers,
the agent in charge has refused the
right of way up the San Carlos val
ley and appears determined to make
the railroad take TO the mesa lands
above. This can be done only at
a much greater outlay. 1t is be-
lieved however that an amicable
arrangement can be reached and
the building proceed without delay.
Globe is one of the best towns in
the country. 1t is made SO not
only because of the vast deposits
of mineral to be found thereabouts,
but because of the sterling char
acter of it's citizens. What ever
their good fortune may be they are
fully entitled to it.-Herdld.

The Camp Apache Road.

Mr.. Thos. Nelson, of Pine Top.
Navajo Co. called at the GUARDIAN
office Saturday morning and in
speaking of the road from here to
Folt Apache said:
II would like to see the road to
Apache crowded to completion as
soon as possible; there is good feed
and water on the way, there is no
reason why it should not be done.
/ am interested in saw mill at
Pine Top and freighters who go to
Apache with freight could come to
the mill and load with lumber for
the return trip, thus being assured
of load each way. We sell lum-
ber at $1,000 at the mill. / only
speak Of this lumber and price as
an encouragement to complete the
road. Any assistance / can lend
on the road / will be glad to do;
there are many others who hold
the same view and if the start is
once made there will be no trouble
in securing workmen."
This road is necessary not only
for the benefit of those who are
looking for market for their produce
but for every business man in the
county, and we believe if the mat
ter was properly handled valuable
aid could be obtained from the
Government, as it will be a much
better route from Grant to Apache
than the present one via San Carlos

One Bunch-95,0Oo

Albuquerque Democrat;
Nearly everybody in Albuquer-
que knows Jos. H. Hampson, the
wellknown railway contractor and
builder. He has built more lines
of railway than any one man in
the southwest and is almost as well
known in all sections Of the country
as he is in New Mexico.
Some years ago when Mr.. Hamp-
son was building road on the line
of the Atlantic & Pacific, west from
Gallup, he frequently met the old
time Texas cattlemen who in 1883
and thereabouts, frequented this
part of the country. Mr.. Hamp-
son then had ranch and was fond
of talking about the possibilities of
the stock growing industry, and
what he knew about cattle. The
Texans would often poke fun at
Mr.. Hampson and shut off debate
by saying, "well 10, you know a
good deal about building railroads
but you don't know anything about
CATTLE" Since that time the Tex
ans and their herds of cattle have
disappeared from the ranges of
New Mexico. They may all be
cattle kings now in the Lone Star
state, or broken in purse and spirit
bewhittling pine sticks before the
entrance ofsone cross roads store.
But 10. Hampson floats serenely
on the wave of good fortune as the
owner of one of the finest cattle
ranches in Arizona.
Last November Mr.. Hampson
sold a bunch of steers for $4,000,
and realized a hansome profit from
the deal. Cattle men believe he
had reached the top notch and the
men who thought the stock indus
try was dead in the territory open
ed their eyes in wonder at the sue
cess of the great railroad builder.
And now comes further news Of
Mr.. Hampson. He has just sold to
the Scheidly Cattle companany for
$4,000 in cash, a bunch of 5000
steers for which he has received
the highest price paid for cattle in
three years. The steers were TAX
en- from Mr.. Hampson's Arizona
ranch, and are said to have been
in unusually fine condition.
Mr.. Hampson's good fortune in
dicates that money and plenty Of
it can be made in cattle in Arizona
as well as in New Mexico. AS a
builder of railways, he was success
full because he applied business
methods to the execution of all of
the details of his immense contracts.
Doubtless, the same methods, If
different in kind the same in degree,
he has utilized in the conduct of
his stock growing interests. AT
any rate, Mr.. Hampson is growing
rich raising and selling cattle, and
it would be interesting to know
just what the Texans, who more
than ten years ago advised him to
confne his efforts to railway build
ing, would think Of the contractors
two big deals.

FooD FOR HOGS.

Sour food, irregular feeding and
surpulus of too much corn or
anything else is very apt to pro-
duce indigestion in the hog, and
through it many other diseases, all
which are inimical to successful
business. The hog should always
be fed only sweet food, and be
given time to thoroughly masti-
cate that which calls for it, and
should have at least two meals a
day. He should never be over fed
or stinted; should have clean, fresh
water at hand all the time, shelter
both winter and summer, and a
warm dry bed to rest in at will
when warmth is necessary. The
bed should be kept clean and dry
and free from dust; should be clean
ed regularly and air-slaked lime
busted on the floor every time be-
fore the bedding is put in. We
sometimes use carbolic acid, but
find lime cheaper and more lasting.
We always give our hogs the run
of a grass lot when possible, for
both grass and exercise are essen
tial to health.-Lire Stock Indicator.
