sPRINGEBvILLE LETTER.

| AAA0 Assy AO4 cS1A OOOs ASASOAAS contemplate prospecting trip across the mountains soon.
 A very quiet wedding took place Sunday, the 10th inst, at the resi- dence of Charlie Thompson. The contracting parties being George Henderson and May Phelps. The ceremony was performed by Tony Long, J. P. The happy pair depart ed for Navajo Station which place they will make their future home. The Pool Outfit started last week to gather cattle and will drive them to Magdalena for shipmnnt. MT. Blaine, a prospector, from New Mexico, has moved into one oi the vacant cottages near the church, The High Five Club met at MT Hildreth's photographic parlor last Friday evening.
 Mrs. McGinnis, teacher at Wal nut Grove, was in town Saturday.
 The primary department of the public schoolis crowded-over sixty enrolled and still coming in. An other teacher is badly needed.
 Dick Franz returned from Hol- brook Saturday.
 Charlie Thompson went to St. Johns in the early part of the week.
 The weather continues clear and delightful since the recent storm. Snow in abundance on the noun tains and hill sides, blue sky and warm sunshine during the day, which forms Q welcome contrast to the cold nights.
 An accident, which came nearly proving fatal: occurred last Friday at WahPs ranch, one mile west of town. Alfred Desmont and George Hoffman were fooling with pistol. Hoffman, not knowing the pistol was loaded, siezed it and aimed at Desmont's heart, Desmont struck the pistol aside just as the trigger was pulled, the gun went off, inflict- ing a flesh wound in the thigh. This little bit of harmless CD fun resulted in two badly scared boys, a serious wound, and, but for the timely prevention of the victim, would have resulted in the loss of life. This should be a leeson to boys in the use of firearms.
 Last Tuesday was the anniversary of Miss Hattie Clack's birthday. At 5 P. M. few chosen friends were invited to partake of an ele- gant dinner at the Golfer Hotel. A large and beautiful cake, bearing the young lady's name and age was especially admired. Toasts were given and responded to. After con- gratulations ard best wishes for many more such happy occasions the guests departed. X. Y.Z.

Extra Efforts Being Put Forth
 to Secure Service.
 Our government is as usual ap- plying red tape in the execution of the postal laws, and as a conse- quence all mails from the north in- tended for Phoenix go around the Horn, either by way of Albuquer- que or Los Angeles, says the Phe- nix Gazette. The citizens here, and at the other end of the line too, should make a righteous howl about the matter, and nudge up the tagging postofice department.
 Hon. N. o. Murphy, our delegate in congress: was recently Tn Wash ington, where he laid the state of affairs before the department and urged speedy relief. He will in 8 few days return to the national capital, and he will then insist that something be done. In the mean time, an intelligent kick should be made all along the line, to render him such assistance as is necessary to remedy the evil.-Citizen.

THATTRIPEAST May be for business or pleasure, or both i; but pleasure comes by making business of travelling East over the Santa Fe Route as far as Chicago.
 Thirty miles the shortest line between Missouri river and Chicago; that means quick time and sure connections.
 Track is straight, rock-ballasted, with very few crossings at grade.
 No prettier, cosier or more comforta- ble trains enter Chicago than those over the Santa Fe. They are vestibuled lim- ited expresses, with latest pattern Pull- mans and free chair cars. Meals in din- ing cars served on plan of paying for what is ordered.

BOOSTING SHED FOR TURKEYS.

The turkey usually seeks a high
roostinG place as q matter of protec-
ton from enemies, but the jumping
from the tree limbs often cause lame
ness. They are also exposed in win
ter, which causes roup. A cheap shed,
open on one side, with high roost,
will protect them from winds, and Mt
the same time give them all the ndvan-
ta2es Of bein.. in the open air. Such

more turkeys can be raised, and they
will be less liable to disease. They

Warning to Young Men.

How many young men bankrupt their
constitutions squander their vitality and
ruin their health by pernicious practices
generally contracted through ignor-
ance. Nervous exhaustion, debility,
dizziness of mental faculties, impaired
memory, low spirits, morese or irritable
temper, fear of impending calamity, and
a thousand and one are the arrangement
Of mind and body which result from
such indiscretions. Epilepsy, paralysis,
softening Of the brain and dread insanity
are not unfrequently the result of indis-
Greet and unnatural habits, contracted in
youth, through ignorance of their de-
structive character, and persisted in un-
til the constitution is wrecked! Such
unfortunates are surely entitled to the
best sympathy, the noblest efforts and
the best skill of the medical profession.
To reach, reclaim and wherever possible
to restore such sufferers to health and
happiness is the aim of an association of
medical gentlemen, who, having had a
vast experience in the treatment of the
class of maladies herein limited at. have
prepared II scientific treatise, written in
plain,but chaste language, Jon the nature,
symptoms and durability Of such diseases.
