Death of w. l.. Van Horn.

This community was surprised and shocked to hear of the death of w. l.. Van Horn on Tuesday morning. Mir. Van Horn had left this place last week for short stay in Holbrook. He was suffering from an attack of malaria winch he contracted in Tempe, but he anticipated no serious result. On his arrival at HolbroOk the disease de- veloped into typhoid fever and he rapidly grew worse until his death which occurred at the Zuck hotel al $50 Tuesday morning.
 Mi. Van Horn was foi number ul years resident of Flagstaff, first teaching school here and afterwards engaging in the practice of law. Four years ago he moved to Tempe where he followed his chosen profession and for the past two years he was associat- ed with H. Z Buck.
 w. l.. Van Horn was an energetic and progressive citizen. He had many friends throughout the territory who will regret to learn of his death. The funeral occurred at Holbrook yester. day,

Ancient Pottery.

Drs. Fewkes and Hough succeeded in digging up some splendid specimens of pottery, implements and ornaments at the runs on the Chevelon. The col lection they have succeeded in obtain ing in the immediate vicinity of Win slow will make quite an important ad- dition to the display in the Smithson- ian Institute. There are two or tbree other ruins in this locality which they propose to investigate before taking their departure from this place. The ruins yet to be visited are larger and are likely to yield greater results than those which have been explored. When they arc through with their eXplora- tions here it is their purpose to visit a large ruin some forty miles from Navajo Springs, on the Navajo reser- vatlon, which they expect to find rich in antiquities. Dr. Fewkes is of the opinion that the ruins in this locality were abandoned about four hundred ,"ars ago, and arrives at this conclu sion from Moqui legends, the style and make of the pottery and it's ornamenta- ton. The pottery is far superior both in make and finish to that of the pres eat day.-Winslow Mail.

The Grand Canyon Hotel is now

The Grand Canyon Hotel is now open to the public.
 Yesterday afternoon the rain fell in torrents and all the low land in the town was flooded. The storm was accompanied with the usual amount of lightning. The residence of T. J. Ross was struck but little damage was done. The flood surrounded the resi- dence of F. L. Beal and drowned all his chickens. The inmates of the house on the flat at the east end of Railroad avenue, were compelled to vacate on account of high water.

A Close Call,

A Mexican and his family, living in d little shanty northeast of the depot, had close call on Friday night last. A terrific thunder storm was raging, when the whole town was disturbed by a tremendous crash, as if several build ings had been razed to the ground. Inquiry elicited that a bolt of light ming had struck large pine tree, tearing away the bark along its course until it came to an iron ring to which a clothes line was attached, when it left the tree. The following morning 1t was deemed necessary to fell the tree, as it was in very shaky condi. ton. How the shanty and family es. caped IS mystery.

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more gen. erally when the languid, exhausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish, and the need of d tonic and altefative is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious levers. No medicine will act more surely ir counteracting and freeing the system from the malarial poison.

The crime OF the man Lehman, who
shot himself and his three children at
Chicago, Is another illustration Of the
effect OF criminal example. Some weeks
ago when another coward took the lives
OF his entire family, nfterward commit
ting suicide, the newspapers took occa-
sion to point out the relation between
this crime and two similar instances
occurring within n comparatively short
time. The Lehman murders belong to
the same category and were undoubted-
ly inspired by the example OF the other
criminals. Lehman. presumably, be-
came respondent because OF money
matters and determined TO Initiate the
deeds OF other scoundrels, escaping
the troubles Of life by obliterating the
entire family. What was said on the
occasion OF the other crimes should be
repeated now with redoubled emphasis.
There IL no term OF opprobrium too
harsh to apply TO this new and despica-
BILE form OF crime. The suicide of the
murderer Is no explation. 1t merely
heightens the cowardlce, the dastardli-
less, the mcnnncNS OF tue OHcnct. Len
man is to be considered as four-fold
murderer and a miserable poltroon into
the bargain. The only pretext which
could excuse such crime Is that OF in
sanity, and there Is a growing convic-
ton that the form OF insanity which
leads n man to the deliberate execution
OF his own children is not much more
than cowardly dependency. Lehman
seems to have been rational enough up
TO the time OF his crime. although he
was OF a morose and gloomy dispose
ton. His deed was performed probably
In an excess OF moodlness and despair,

erately. There Is but one restraining
influence which can be put upon the
creatures who are likely to commit

The LIONS SHARE.
Happily This Kind of Marital
Chiva1ry Is Scarce.

A well-dressed, respectable-lookins
man-we will not mention his national
ity-traveling with his wife in remote
quarter of England. was delayed by
defective railway service, and was nm
able to reach his destination until 10
o'clock In the evening. He had left the
railway train at a small station where
there was no restaurant. and had hired
coach to carry him with his wife and
his baggage TO the little village where
he was to spend the night.
When the travellers drew up at ,he
old-fishioned inn In the village street
they were very weary and fnint with
hunger. They had eaten nothing since
their early breakfast.
AS soon as the rooms had been on
gagged and the baggage properly stow
cd. the husband sent for the portly
landlord and said:
I'VE are the hungriest pair you ever
saw. We have lost our train connec-
lions. and been delayed ut stations
where food was not served. For this
reason we have had neither luncheon
nor dinner. Now you must do your best
for us We want hearty supper"
The landlord murmured that It was
very late, and he had not been expecting
any one to arrive, but that he would go
down and talk with the cook He re-
turned In ten minutes with troubled
face.
you have taken us by surprise" he
said with an apologize air. The mar
ket stalls are closed and nothing can
be had In the shops at this hour. This
is only n modest, quiet country inn. I
have been talking with the cook and
find that the pantries are quite empty"
"Have you no meat?" asked the anx-
ious husband in n tone of irritation.
II regret to say answered the la3d-
lord, that there is only one mutton.
chop in the house, but think that Is a
good. sized one"
The husband glanced at his wife and
then stared at the landlord
what is my wife to haveYr he asked
grlmly after an awkward pause.
The matter-of-fact way in which this
lord OF creation appropriated for his
exclusive use the only chop, revealed
his Idea OF the relations OF the sexes.
The stronger half of the family was to
be served first, whatever might be the
necessities OF the weaker half
or course, the affectionate wife pro
tested that she was not very hungry
and would be satisfied with n little
toast and tea, as she needed sleep more
than any thing else.
The brute ate the chop and grumbled
when he finished it because his hunger
was not satisfied.
This true incident makes a very IN
satisfactory study of the kind OF
marital chivalry that is sometimes
found in this closing decade of the
nineteenth century.
