4 Nickel Standard.

Five cents was the value which Texas farmer once placed upon min ister's prayer. The story is told in the Epworth Era of Rev. II. $. Thrall, one of the pioneers of Methodism in Texas. In company with number of itinerants who were on their way to conference, Thran stopped to spend the night with an old farmer. It was the custom then to settle the bill at night so that they might rise about three o'clock in the morning and ride Q good way before breakfast. and lie by in the heat of the day. Dr. Thrall, acting as spokesman of the party, said to the old farmer after supper: We are a company of Methodist preachers going to confer ence. If you will get the family to- gether we will have prayers with you. , After prayers one by one settled his his bill. Dr. Thralls turn came, and he asked for his bill. The old farmer replied: Well, pa'son, charged the rest twenty-five cents, but bein' as you prayed for us so good, l won't charge you but twenty cents." The brethren had the laugh on Dr. Thrall.

The Bloomers Are In It.

One or two venturesome spirits among the young ladies of Tucson who have been threatening to don the bloom sr bicycle costume, will find encourage ment in the following from the Chicago Times Herald:
 "Bloomers have come in for good at the University of Michigan, for num- Der of the co-eds have banded them selves together into a bloomer club, pledged to wear knickerbockers both when riding bicycle and while attend ing classes. Some weeks ago Miss Edna Daisy Day started wearing them as walking costume, and had trouble with her landlady, Mrs. H. Q. Flames, about the bifurcsted dress. Since then the girls at the university have taken the matter in hand for themselves, and con- 1rstulated Miss Day on the bold stand she took for her rights. Who belongs to the club or who is the leading spirit remains a secret as the girls term It, but the mem bership consists of some ten young ladies who are pursulp studies in the literary department. To day a number of them appeared on the street riding their wheels in their nove costumes. and some even ventul ed ou' walking. The co-eds expect to make many converts during the coming week ond at the end of that time they say they will announce who are their officers and tell everybody what IS the idea dress for girl student"

SHOT DEAD.
Bob Cannon Shot and Killed by
 His Wife.
The Bloody Tragedy Enacted at tho Home of Mrs. Cannon's
 Parents,

About l: 80 this afternoon desperst' and bloody tragedy occurred at th' home of MT. George Johnson, near ths Lexington stables. Mrs. Cannon, for merly Mrs. Hopkins, is a stepdaughtel of MT. Johnson. She was married tt Cannon about year agoand after con tinuous qusrrels the pair separated and she returned to the home of her parents Here he visited her occasionally and al most as often these quarrels were re- newed. A few days since dispute about some property occurred and the services of Officer Estrella were invoked As the property belonged to the woman 1t was delivered to her. She then said to the officer that she would have noth- ing more to do with her husband. To this her mother, Mrs. Johnson, assented and said that if she did she would not allow her to live at homo any more.
 Today Cannon dressed himself up and went to the house when the usual trouble broke out with renewed violence. She procured shot gun and in the melee which followed the gun was discharged.
 The entire charge of buckshot with which the gun was loaded entered his right arm, shoulder and side. An effort was made to take him to the hospital but he died just as they reached there and were taking him out of the wagon
 On the news of his death reaching here Judge Scott empanelled jury ard went out to viaw the remains. An adjournment was then had till Mon day morning at 10 o'clock. The body was then brought to town by undertaken Lonergan where it was stripped and sn examination of the wounds made. It appears that he was ehot only through the right arm end that none of the buck shot had entered the body at all and he simple bled to death, one of the bullets having cut an artery. He will be buried to morrow at p. m.
 On being advised of the tragedy Off, cers Paul and Frazier went to Johnson's house. They found Cannon lying in a corral adjoining, Mrs. Cannon with her hands covered with blood was in tbe act of being led away from the body by her parents. She was irrested and taken to jail where she now lies. Both were under the in auence of liquor at the time of the kill ing. It is said that when she got the gun be held out bis arm and dared her to shoot. She refused to take the dare" and Cannon is dead.

Too Drunk to Pray.

A citizen of Montreal lately on visit to Ottawa, says Life, while passing down the hotel corridor to his room at a late hour, happened to hear violent groans and sobs issuing from one of the rooms. As the door was open, he en- tered and recognized fellow Mon- trealer, prominent in political and business circles, and famous for his re- ligious and alcoholic tendencies. He was kneeling at his bedside, clinging to the side of the bed, and sobbing as though his heart would break. Whats the matter, old man?" inquired our friend, touching the sufferer on the shoulder. '.I'm so blarsted drunk can't say my prayers" was the fearful re- crlOrSa

WEATHER BULLETIN.
The Hot and Cold Waves for June
 Effect of Storm Waves on the
Cvop Problem.
Copyrighted, 1895, by W. T. Foster

Copyrighted, 1895, by w. T. Foster.
 ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, June My last bulletin gave forecasts of the storm waves to cross the continent from June 2 to and to 12. The third disturb snce of June will reach the Pacific coast about the 12th, cross the west of Rockies country by close of 18th, great central valleys 14th to 16th and eastern states about the 17th.
 This disturbance will occur during a cool period and following it the weather will be unusually cool for this season of the year.
 Warm wave will cross the west of Rockies country about 12th, great cen tral valleys 14th and eastern states the i6th. Cool wave will cross the west of the Rockies country about the 18th, great central valleys the IT and eastern states the 18th.
 A cool wave is probable during the first week of June which may bring light frosts along the northern border of the United States.
 The first part of June, up to about the 18th, will average unusually cool in all the northern states and about average in all the southern states as indicated in previous bulletins, but within the nine days-20th to 28th-will occur a r markable hot period followed during the last part of the month by a severe cool wave.
 These extreme temperatures are parts of the notable weather features referred to in these bulletins some months ago. April and May were expected to average above in temperature, Jane and July below, with extremes of temperature in the last three months.
 Many letters come to me inquiring what the crops will be. My time has been all taken up in working out the problems of future weather as based on recent discoveries and as the matter of crops is a very large subject l have only had time to forecast the weather, leaving it for my readers to determine what will be the effect of such weather on the crops.
 have large facilities for working on the crop problem and hope to soon add that feature to these bulletine.

 of Capitalists,

Andrew Kozlk one of the owners in the Ansconda Group of mines, in the Meyers district, came in from the Gum sight yesterday. He reports but few people in the district although the mines thsreabouts are full of promise and efforts are being made to draw the attention of capital thereto. The dis trict is probably twenty miles square, but the gold belt proper is four miles wide and fourteen miles long. This belt is made up of an almost continuous succession of gold bearing ledge matter, in veins varying all the way from few inches to nine and ten feet. and assay ing all the way from S1O to several hundred dollars per ton. Wood and water are plentiful.
 The Peoples mine owned by number of railroad men, among whom are, Supi J.I s. Noble, Capt Gray aHd bunch oi Southern Pacific officials, is now being developed and is showing up beyond the expectations of it's owners. If the grade of ore now being taken out continues tC a sufficient depth mill will be put uI and another bullion producer added tC the wealth of the county. There art | about fourteen or fifteen claims h tnt Peoples group.
 Other valuable properties in that ueighborhood are owned by $. w Sutherland, Wall $ Dickinson, -J. $ Snider, Andrew Kozik, Wm Gilllard Martin Waer, Wm. Hines, Wm Gable J. R. Nelson, Gibbons & Thompson ano others.
 Capitalists seeking profitable invest meuts, can by addressing any of the fore going at Gunsight, Ariz.. learn all need fuI particulars. The district IS reached by good ruads from Tucson, Cas- ! Grande and Gila Bend. Mail is carried in twice siweek from the last place.
