Bubbles or Medals.

"Best sarsaparIlas." When you think of it how contradictory
that term is. For there can be only one best in anything-one best
sarsaparila, as there is one highest mountain, one longest river, one
deepest ocean. And that best sarsaparila is?.... There's
the rub You can measure mountain height and ocean depth, but
how test sarsaparIa? You could, if you were chemists. But then,
do YOU need to test it? The Worlds Fair Committee tested it;-and
thoroughly They went behind the label on the bottle. What did
this sarsaparila test result in? Every make of sarsaparila shut out
of the Fair, except Ayers. So it was that Ayers was the only
sarsaparila admitted to the Worlds Fair. The committee found it
the best. They had no room for anything that was not the best.
And as the best, Ayers Sarsapailla received the medal and awards
due its merits. Remember the word "best" is a bubble any breath
can blow; but there are pins to prick such bubbles. Those others
are blowing more "best sarsaparIla bubbles since the Worlds Fair
pncked the old ones. True, but Ayers SarsaparIla has the medal
The pin that scratches the medal proves it gold. The pin that
prcks the bubble proves it wind. We point to medals, not bub-
bhs, when we say: The best sarsaparIla is Ayers. {

 The soap was specimen of & peeul- jar mineral product of Cave Greek that has her,toiore attracted attention, but the investigation of which has never been industriously pursued. Near the junction of the Black canyon road and the Agus Fria, this soap-besring rock lies in large uphesyals, having been forced to the surface from the sipsge. Its quality was first discov- cred about twenty years sgo, says "Old Raekenssck," the donor 0: the speci- men, but the man who found it never learned . practical process for extract ing the oil. 'Old Racksnssck" thinks this could be readily done. and that capital could make d paying investment in Arizona soap. There is . mine Of 1t waiting for development
 The rock is soft and oily, and ap- piled in its crude state the soap is quite satisfactory as a dirt eliminatsr.

MURDERED NEAR YUMA.
Ghastly Find bv two Cocopah
 Indians.

The authorities at Yum, are en- deavering to unfsvel the most u.yste- rious murders in recent years at that place. The horribly nut lated body of an unknown msn, evidently two days dead, was foand at the loot oi an embodiment on .rail one mile west of there Tuesday afternoon. The groesome discovery was made by tive Cocopah Indians.
 Across the men's head was 6 bun dle O! blankets. His throat had heen gnawed. presumably by coyotes, and a jagged knife wound showed the cause of his death. There were two deep gashes on the back of his head, pro- duced by . blunt instrument. There was no indication of 6 struggle, and che theory is that the man was nur- dered and carried to the spot where found. His pockets were turned inside out, and his right trousers pscke, was torn and showed marks of bloody hands.
 There was nothing on his person to identify the man. He was evidently bent on prospecting trip, although from his soft white hands and long fngernails it is thought he was nov ice in that line.

The New York Athletic Club won the
championship in the Athletic League by
defeating the Rosevflle Athletic Club
last night on the alleys of the Jersey
CITY Club. It was one of the star match
es OF the championship season. and the
connecting features made it one of the
greatest contests rolled at the clubhouse
on Clinton avenue. The alleys were pack
ed with enthusiastic members of the RI
val teams. and if it depended on a ques-
ton OF noise of the rival %rooters, the re-
suit would have been q dead heat. Rose
vile won the prize last year, but they
will have to turn the trophy over to the
followers of the winged foot. They clear
ly proved their superiority over the Jer-
sey team, and it was won by hard work.
