DENVER DOCTORS DISCOVERY.
Has Found a New Method of Treating
 Incipient Consumption.

CITY OF MEXICO, Nov. 1S.-Dr. A. M. Holmes of Denver, who is here by special invitation of the medical con- gress, today explained the manner in which he had discovered a method of diagnosing consumption by the exam ination of drop of blood, enabling physicians to treat the disease while yet in the blood and before it has at tackled the system of the patient. The discovery has been the subject of com ment in all the medical journals and by professional men. Dr. Holmes at tended the congress at the urgent in- vitation of it's members, who desired to have the discoverer read a paper It is by far the most important subject the congress has taken up so far in its session and it is generally believed the discovery is far reaching in that it is believed that a method has been brought to light that, while it will not cure, will prevent the progress and ar. rest the spread of the disease.

ROCKS AHEAD.
Wates n Says This Is But the Begin
 ming of the End

PARIS, Nov. 1S.-Hon. Henry Wat terson, editor of the Louisville Courier Journal, who was prominently urged for the nomination for the presidency at the Indianapolis convention, but whose name was formally withdrawn, has remained in this city since the election. His views upon the result of the National campaign just closed have been furnished in an interview.
 "The election of Mckinley" said MT. Watterson today, 'is but the beginning of the end of a struggle which one way and another has been going on in the United States for twenty years. It be- gan west and south for fiat money. No sooner was the greenback party dis posed of than the free, silver party took it's place.
 "The leaders of the fiat money movement, reinforced by silver mine owners, finally made an incision into the Republican party and got posses sion of the machinery of the Democrat ic party. This eliminated in the nom ination and defeat of MT. Bryan. With that defeat ends the free silver frenzy and danger of the 16-to-1 kind. But the elements of disorder it has called into being and the issues it has set into motion are left upon the scene and we may be sure these will continue their assaults upon the life of the Ma tion and the integrity of the people until they are swept out of existence in 1900.
 MT McKinley's election settles nothing. It merely removes fiat money and depreciated silver dollars from the rocks ahead.'

ONE WOMAN'S CURIOSITY.
Through It Daisy Lost Her Lover and
 He Almost Lost His Leg.

PATERSON, N. J., Nov. 18-James Miller has been in the habit of meet ing his sweetheart Daisy Geisberg near the canal bridge. The love-making had been interrupted by hoodlums who gathered in that vicinity, so James bought a self-cocking revolver for protection.
 The girl manifested a desire to ex- anime the weapon, and Miller handed it to her, The muzzle of the pistol was pointed toward Miller, and when Miss Daisy began to turn the chambers Miller cried out to her to be careful. The warning was too late, however, and the revolver went off, the bullet taking effect in Miller's leg, just below the knee.
 Miss Geisberg promptly fainted, and her father rushed in, seized Miller and accused him of murdering his daugter

HER LIFE WAS INSURED.
When the Boat Upset Wife and Chil-
 dren Were Drowned.

DENVER, Nov. 18.-Intense indig- nation has been aroused over the ar rest of Andrew J. Spute, a grocer, on the charge of having murdered his wife and five children who were drowned by the capsizing of boat on Smiths lake October 25. Four persons who wit messed the capsizing agree that it was entirely accidental, Spute himself be- ing rescued with great difficulty. A short time before the accident he had taken out an accident insurance policy for $10,000 on his wife's life. Recently it became known that he was on inti- mate terms with Nellie Davis, woman of bad reputation, before the loss of his family. This is the only known evidence against him. When this was laid before the district attorney and the sheriff warrant was sworn out for his arrest on the charge of murder. He has not yet been indicted, nor has he had a hearing. It appears the case against him was worked up by a de- tective who was connected with the law firm which he had employed to look after his interests and who had taken $100 from him as a retainer. Nellie Davis was released under $500 bonds this afternoon. She denies that she ever told anybody that Spute taught her to swim in Salt Lake last summer Her alleged statement to this effect was regarded as piece of evidence against Spute, as he had said after the drowning of his family that he could not swim.

SAVED THE GIRL.
But James H. Childs Was Killed by
 Her Would-be Slayer.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 18.-James H. Childs was shot and killed by John Miller, carpenter, on Clementina street this afternoon while attempt ing to prevent the latter from commit ting another murder Crazed by jeal- ousy and drink, Miller called at the residence of Miss Nellie Ryan with the intention of killing her.

He tried to prevent Miller from shooting again, but, exasperated by his interference, Miller turned upon him and shot Childs through the head, killing him. Before he cogld renew his attack upon the girl the murderer was arrested.

SAID TO BE ALIVE.
A Murderer Reported Dead, Seen in
 Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 1S-A special to local paper from Guthrie, O. T., says: There is considerable excite ment both here and at Oklahoma City over the report that Harry St. John, son of ex-Governor St. John of Kansas, is not dead, as announced three weeks ago. Young St. John was under indict- ment for the murder of his wife and his trial was to have commenced short ly after the death was announced. A reliable Ell Reno man declares that within a week he has seen St. John walking on the streets of Kansas City with Judge J. H. Pitzer of this city, his attorney.
Arizona republican., 1896-11-19

For a time there was great excitement until the matter was explained. The parents of the young woman were ex tremely angry. They sent Miller home in a carriage, and said that there were enough fools in the family already.
 Miller has lost his sweetheart; Miss Geisberg has lost all desire to learn the intricacies of firearms, and the re- volver that caused all the trouble is in the possession of a man who has sense enough to keep it in safe place.

FASTING AND PRAYING.
How the Local Salvationists Are Qb-
 serving the Week of Self-Denial

The local band of men and woren who wear the uniforms of the Salva- tion Army are vigorously observing this, the annual week of self-denial. There are no more jealous people en- gagged in religious work and some of them have actually determined to do without certain articles of food which are ordinarily considered necessary, in order that by their acts of self-denial they may add financial support to the army and it's different branches of work
 Members of the army, as well as many of the friends of the numerous social institutions which tha amy maintains, are asked to deny them selves all luxuries, that by so doing the work of the vast organization in ministering to the spiritual and tem- poral wants of the lowly may be. ad- vanced.
 The social operations throughout the United States have been greatly de veloped during the past twelve months. New food and shelter depots have been opened in New York, San Francisco and in Kansas City, Kan As a nat ural result, therefore, the demands on the army's treasury have increased very largely and greater effort will be required of the individual members.
 It is proposed to raise $40,00O in the United States during the week cf self denial for the work
 Last ni@tt at the local l,e-.,y, se a musical programme was the order, af ter which the members of the Army spent a half night in prayer.
