IN TOMBSTONE.
The Old Time Patriotism is
 Still Burning.

At dsyhresk Saturday morning the first ebulli.ion of Americsnism which awakened 4th of July patriotism in Tombstone Wac the ringing Of the six Fig bells of the city ali at once, making . disturbance which startled every slumbersr who wac still wooiDg Nor phsus, into realizing the fact thas the l20th celebration of our national inde pendence was at hand.
 Added 70 the rspid ringing of the bells, the esnOn-like report of the anvil and giant powder bombs, which were fired in honor of each states in the union. including Utah, which with this date enters the sister, hood of states. all helped to swell the mighty roar and cry to the snn from the eastern to the western sea. that through the 57 degrees of longitude was sung with welcomes and all lhaile to the day.
 The national colors were soon flying from every faEpoIe in the camp, and the handsome and in many instances elaborate decorations of the business houses plainly showed that the spi ri' of patriotism was alive in the hearts O everyone, and the day receiving tie recognition it % justly deserves at the hands of every American citizen.
 The firing of freersckers, bomhs, etc. was kept up necessarily during the day, and at noon and sundown the bslls were again pressed into service. The Protection Hose Co. bell was rung until the huge sounding instrument became loosened from its fsstsninGs and fell from its heights to the roof, sliding to the ground, luckily with out much damage.
 A large crowd was attracted to Allen street to watch the foot rsces, which were hotly contested and erected no end of excitement and sport. There was alec bicycle racing in the after noon. The loot races were ably con- duc,ed by the genial Col. Hsfford and the following young men carried of the prizes of the various races: Jas. Welsh. Jose Yslencis, Tom Bastian. Allie and Enrique Gonzales and wr. Mccormick.
 At nigh. e pyro:echnic display of fireworks was witnessed by the thropg on Allen street. Martin Costello, our paitio,ic tewneman. prepared this dis play for the delectstion sf our people, and his treat was appreciated by all. Later in the evening fully 200 to 250 packs of small frecrsekers were fired continuously in front of the Pony, Billiard Psriors end St. Louis Beer Hall saloons, the desfenisg roar wac kept up until late at night, and in all the celebration in Tombstone was a succese

WONDERFUL RAILROADS.

In these days when English and
American railroads are vieing with
each other in trying to make the best
record for steam, it may be of interest
to learn Of Il plan proposed and patent

give higher speed than that attained
by the famous No.. .999. of one mile in
81 seconds, or at the rate of ll2 miles
per hour.
The plan was to construct very
long train of platform ears having 4
track its whole length. Upon this was
mounted sec ,nl train similarly con-
structad, but somewhat shorter, upon
this third. and 50 on until the trains
were five or more deep. Each train
was to have its own locomotive and all
were to be started together, say at a
speed Of 25 miles per hour 1t is OBJ
vious that each train would have 4
speed of its own locomotive in addition
to the speed of all below it. Thus the
train running upon the ground would
have a speed Of - miles per hour, and
the others of 30, 10, 100 and 1875, re-
spectivclv. The speed of the upper
most train would be far ahead of any
thing achieved since this plan was pat
entcd. The patent bears the number
of $50, and was granted April l3, 1893.

ents referred to in this article are Civ

Another device for obtaining high
degree of speed was patented in 1888,

an elevated cable railway system in
which the car was suspended beneath
a cable held far above the earth hy enor-

SPRING TINE

Is when nearly everyone feels the
need of some blood purifying strength
invigorating and health producing me-
dicine. The real merit of Hoods Sar-
saparilla is the reason of its widespread
popularity. It's unequalled success is
its best recommendation. The whole
system is susceptible to the most good
from a medicine like Hoods Sarsapar-
lila taken at this time, and we would
lay special stress upon the time and
and remedy, for history has it recorded
that delays are dangerous. The re-
success achieved by Hoods
Sarsaparilla and the many words of
praise it has rcdeived, make it worthy
of your confidence. We ask you to
give this medicine fair trial.

A KATABASIS.

| | have always been considered lucky
1t was the double crown of my head,
like twin eyes on 4 potato, that started
this belief, and my Aunt Aida soon
confirmed it, For it seems that short
ly after my christening Paul Atherton,
the worthy gentleman for whom | was
named, died; whether instigated by this
last straw of a compliment | know not
though in seasons of depression | have
my misgivings. Whereupon my Aunt
Aida, who was living alone at the
Blackmore homestead without excit
ing conventional protests as to youth
and beauty, announced that he had
been her one and only love, and assumed
the Grape veil and dropping lids ofper-
manent bereavement.
Far be it from me to term her con-
duet extraordinary. True, also, she
had for some years coddled a cat, that
symptom of indnrated virginity. Yet,
if her love rested entirely on her i'm
agination. how did she differ from 9TH
er mortals! | certainly have too much
sa'i--respect to .jibe her sacred passion.
| should not have mentioned it even
had not my future depended upon it.
For Aunt Aida, also announced that
|, the namesa'le of her beloved, should
be her heir. Now. although | was too
busy with my milk teeth to know it,
this Inheritance whenever it passed
would be of sufficient size to make a
Surrogate grin. My Aunt Aida held
in her own right the Bllckmore home
stead, a piece of injustice over which
my father would mental V tear his an

stocks and dcbcntures. whose yearly
increase bought debentures and stocks.
and thus my fortune kept increasing

tlnue on in your journey to the next
station. This patent is No. 32S,S99.
A problem in railroading that has
received considerable attention from
certain class of inventors has been to
devise scheme whereby two trains
may pass each other, going in the same
or opposite direction, upon single
track, and thus save half the expense
now necessary to lay double track
The solution of this problem has not
been left to the abstract theorist alone.
for numerous actual experiments have
been made, both in this country and a
broad, bnt chiefly on this side of the
water, to accomplish this feat. The
press has announced the result i'm fam
ing ''eXtras,' which have been eagrrly
sconned by a horror stricken public.
Less than year ago, patent No. $780,
$50 was granted to cover way of ac-
complishing this result without the us
ual heart rendering and sanguinary at
tendant circumstances, and now that
the plan is made known, we are all
wondering why we never thought of it
ourselves-it seems so simple. At each
end of one of the trains is long inclin-
eel plain car, and along the roofs of the
other cars, and upon these inclined
cars, is laid an ordinary track of stand
ard guage. When second train de-
sires to pass this, all it has to do is to
crowd on steam and climb over it.
This it can do with equal facility head
ed in either direction, and whether the
first train is stationary or moving at
high speed.
In the line OF appliances for soaring
cattle from the track, the proverbial
Yankee ingenuity has had full swing.
Patent No. 3l4,99O shows an engine
equipped with long lazy tongs prod,
operated by level extending into the
cab. If the whistling does nor scare
the invading COW away, the engineer
can stop the train and punch the "crit-
ter without leaving his post Of duty,
thereby saving considerable valuable
time.
Another patent for the same object,
No. "a, ,7S3, shows an engine having a
steam gun to throw shower of stones
or gravel, and still others shoot
round balls or throw streams of water
or steam

sanity man, in simple garb.
Strolled forth one summers day,
And smiled with love and sympathy
On all that strewed the way.
No modest bush nor humble bud
Escaped his loving eye;
No bird, nor moth, n or insect
disturbed that Glanced to fly
Across his path, for his delight
Was natures magic art,
And tendrilS of benevolence
Were nonrshed in his heart:
Here all of natures children dear
Were seemingly his kin,
And to his soul sweet charity
Benignly brought them in.
1t Glanced that, as he walked, he saw
A serpent in distress,
And with holy love he paused
The evil to redress.
With patient zeal he lifted up
The cruel boughs which bore
The serp mt down beneath their thorns,
And set him free once more;
''Why hast thou whose revengeful heel
Shou'd'st bruise my hated head,
Relieved me in mile agony,
And crushed me not instead?
Dost thou not know that | shall drive
My fangs beneath thy skin,
And plant the venom Of my hate
Where it shall rage withn?"
Thus spake the serpfnt to the saint,
Who blandIy made reply:
Twas ever thus with mine and thine,
For was born to die
That all might learn TO love the rest,
Despite deceitful hate,
And win to pure benevolence
The sinner by my fate
This serpent then with hateful ,pite
His benefactor struck,
But he, with swift Intelligence,
The wound began to suck,
Aud, splitting out the virus, he
Was gratitied indeed
To see the spittle in the earth
Changed to a growing weed,
With leaves OF green and velvet sheen
On stalks OF shapely mold;
And people call that plant today,

They say its juices still contain,

And all the venom of the vile,
