for all the delegates elected it is
more than one and a half dele

the same ratio will continue,

While waiting in the rotunda we

as to whether the railroads benefit

railroad attorney, of course, took
the railroad side, while Sam, our
city attorney, was on the city side.
Several adjectives would crop out in
the argument, ever aud anon,
which made the glass in the doors
rattle. Sam held his side down
pretty well, and the two gentlemen
finally agreed that one was as de-
pendent on the other as labor is on
capital for existence, in this partic-

agent for the Cotton Belt, was re-
feree, and said, after hearing the
two gentlemen talk, that both

a Prevalent Disease.

There is no disease so prevalent
in America as dyspepsia, and Ger
tainly none which has so generally
baff1ed and defeated the skill of the
medical profess ssiou. The only rem
edy for this distressing complaint is
a pure medicated stimulant, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, whose es-
sential principle is pure spirits, is
admitted by medical practitioners
to be the only Alternative, corrective
and restorative on which they can
rely. The Bitters are the best pos
siEle specific for fatulence, dizziness,
waterbrash, irregularity of the
bowels and all indications of con-
hrmed dyspepsia They do not ex-
cite, but soothe irritated stomach
and bowels, and may be taken by
persons of the most delicate and
sensitivy organization, who are un-
pleasantly affected by the use of
the ordinary stimulants of COM
merce. Though their effect is most
decisive, yet they are so mild and
benefcent in operation as to be
suitable to children as well as to
adults.

On Tuesday the republicans of this county organized County League, and they will form clubs in all the precincts of the county.

MoCARTHY'S MUSEE.
A Dried Up Specimen of a Prehistoric
 Race-A Curiosity.

A oiAeu- V SpSSiAleho ol u iS
 Race-A Curiosity.
 "1ts genuine curiosity" is the re- mark made by all who go to see John McCarthy's mummy, now on exhibition in West Prescott. IL is not a petrilied man, such as are made to order aud such as was recently found near Phoe- nix, but genuine dried-up specimen presumably of the ancient Tol:ec race. The flesh is simply dried up and re- mains intact, except in one or two places.
 John Mccarthy, who found it, is one of the most noted lion and bear hunters iu the Southwest. and has prob- ably taken more wild animals of all kinds than any man in this country during the past ten or q dozen years.
 He describes finding this specimen in the following manner: He was hunt- ing lions in the Verde canyon, forty five miles below Camp Verde, iu No vember. 1893. One bright moonlight night his pack of dogs, Swedish blood. hounds, treed lion away up oD the rugged side of the canyon, and he followed them up and shot the animal. leaving it on the ground until the next morning. When he went up the fol- lowing day to skin the brute he discov- cred cliff dwelling and started to cx- plore it. The wall of the outer room was open and he entered it and dis covered within another room, the wall of which was intact. He broke an opening in the wall and saw within the form of a man in a kneeling posture. Having discovered one in Colorado in similar manner, and it crumbliug when exposed to the air, he immedi- ately sealed up the wall and soon after wards entered into correspondence with the Smithsonian Institute at Washington in regard to it. It was not until February 10th of the present year that he returned to the place, when in company with Mir. Llcwcllyn of the Smithsonian Institute and others he went to the place, and Mir. Lle- welyn prepared it so that it could be safely handy.
 Physicians and other scientific men who examined the mummy state that 1t IS that of a man wlo when alive was five feet seven inches tall. The skull measures twenty-one and half inches in circumference and is extremely thick, the weight of the brain being estimated at only nineteen ounces. The arms are long, as are also the fingers, the latter having extremely long claw like nails. When found it was in a kneeling posture, with the head turned over, as.if looking over the left shoul- der, facing the east, and on the wall, directly in front of it, was lot of hy- roglyphics. In the rigkt hand was a stone hammer, while in the left there were a lot of stone arrow points. In corner of the chamber MT. Mccarthy found uncut turquoise to the value of nearly $2.00O. These are quite large, much thicker and larger than any thing ever found in this country. Yes sells of earlhenware, similar to the pot tery found all over Arizona in ancient ruins, were also found.
 Mir. Mccarthy says he was offered $2,5OO for the mummy by the Smith sonian Institute, but he refused the offer, preferring to place it ou eNhibi tion. Miner.
