One Of the most terrible foods ever
known In the history OF Arizona oc-
Cured In Benson last Thursday after
noon. There was a cloudburst in the
MILESTONE mountains above town.
The water came down in a wave. The
first houses Ia its track were occu-
pied by the families Of VIM. Geek aud
Oscar Ashburn. In each house was
the mother and two children. The
houses could not stand the food aud
went down carrying TO death the two
mothers and the four children. The
bodies of the mothers and of one OF
Mr.. Zeek's children were soon found,
but the bodies Of the other children
we're not recovered till Tuesday. The
food swept through town doing consid-
cradle damage. The express ONCE
was lifted from its foundations
and swept up against the depot; sew.
eral feet Of water went through the
depot, leaving a large deposit OF mud,
and three miles Of track were washed
away. The rains were extensive and
long continued. Heavy rains falling
Thursday and Saturday nights, wash
ing away miles OF track between Ben.
son and Stems Pass. The Southern
Pacific had work trains at both ends,
but it was Sunday night before the
trains got through. The west bound
train started from FL Paso Thursday,
but stopped at Deming, went back To
El Paso, started again and reached
Lordsburg Saturday night, stayed
here all day Sunday and went west
Sunday afternoon. The passengers
spent a pleasant day in Lordsburg.
The Arizona & New Mexico road had
one small washout a few miles from
town, which only caused a delay Of a
few hours.

PENGUIN BABIES QUEER.
They Cause Their Parents No End Of
Trouble.


Trouble.
You will notice that the penguin baby
is very fat and looks as if he might be
extremely good for eating. but if you
could see father and mother penguin
just now you would find them uncom-
monty thin. The care of the baby has
so worn upon their minds, and the
trouble OF finding enough fish for three
to eat, that oil superfiuous flesh for the
time has vanished.
Baby penguin has curious nest. The
mother tucks the egg away softly and
safely among her warm feathers and
even moves slowly and with great grav-
ity over the cliffs, CARRYING the egg.
while father penguin goes fishhing.
Mother penguin looks as fat during this
time as the baby does now, but when
the egg is Matched she goes fishing, too,
and soon grows as thin as father pen
guin himself. You notice the funny lit
tie wings just beginning to start on
baby's shoulders. Well, mother and
father penguin have longer ones. but
they are still more like fins than wings.
Nearly all the time is spent in the water
and fins are more useful than wings:
when on land these little half wings are
used as legs, and the birds are often mis-
taken for quadrupeds as they run over
the ground. They do not seem to be
troubled with insomnia. When asleep
they can be kicked several feet ana
never even nwake up.
There is n variety called the iackass
penguin, from it's habit of throwing
back it's head and making a loud.
strange noise that sounds like the BRAY
Ing of that animal. The king penpuins
have regular towns, where every inch
OF ground is measured off in squares for
nests.N The young birds are arranged
in a certain locality, the molting birds
In another, and the clean birds quite
apart from all these. So strictly are
they all divided that if molting bird
should accidentally stray near the clean
birds it would be instantly put out.
In the Falkland islands and in Pata-
gonia these birds abound. They are
also very numerous in certain islands
OF the southern Pacific ocean. On some
OF them 10000 or 10000 are constantly
landing or going to sea.--Young Idea.

HOLY WAR IN ruRk,sA DOMAIN.


Always Preceded by . Display OF tns
Sacred Green Flag.
Az the interests of the Christian por-
ton of the universe are now conferred
ia an effort to relieve the distress OF
people of Armenia, an Asiatic province
OF the Turkish empire, and as rumors
have been current that the troops OF
the sultan now concentrating In that
province for the ostensible purpose OF
putting down an incipient rebellion
Of the miserable people have displayed
the "green banner" which means a
"holy war;" it will be Of interest TO
trace as far as possible the origin OF
"jejad" or "holy war;" 1t is under
stood to be q Mohammedan doctrine
that jejad or holy war, can only be
proclaimed by the Sheik-ul Islam, the
religious deputy of the sultan himself.
The proclamation is performed by un-
folding the sanjaksherif, or flag OF the
prophet, which is made of green silk,
with a crescent at the top of the staff,
to which is attached n horsehair plume.
This flag is deposited in the mosque
Of st. Sophia, at Constantinople. IT is
rot, however the original flag of the
prophet, as that ensign was white, and
was made from the turban if the ko-
reish which Mohamm1 captured.
For this. some time later, was substi-
tuted black flag. made of the petit
coat of Ayesha. the favorite wife of the
prophet, and in whose arms he died.
Omar, the second Moslem caliph, OBJ
tanned possession of the flag by con-
quest. and il passed subsequently into
the hands of the abassides and the ca
liphs of Bagdad and Kalmira, and was
brought TO Europe by Amurath I'LL
and deposited in the seraglio at Constan-
tinople. When the flag was changed
i'll color from black to green is not
known, but according to the doctrine
of Mohammed the sultan and his dep
uty have the sole authority to unfurl
the flag over Constantinople and pro-
claim a holy war;" war against all
christendom, and one in which every
species of atrocity is perpetrated in
the name of the prophet on the unbe-
levers. The uncurling of the green
flag among the Turkish soldiery, if
there be truth in the report, may not
be from the orders of the sultan. as
there is large element of the Mo-
hammedans. particularly those of
Arabia and the Holy land, who do not
recognize the Legitimacy of the claim
of the Ottoman Turks to the caliphate
and would not wait for the orders of
the ruler if they were anxious for a
jejad against the hated Christians. If
the sultan should attempt or if any
Part of his dominion independent of
his orders inaugurate holy war it be-
comes the duty of every Christian ma
ton to take prompt action in the pro-
lection of the helpless people that will
be exposed to every kind of outrage
that the devilish ingenuity of the Mos
lem religion will contrive to invent.
Personal interests and aggrandize-
lnent should be promptly laid aside
N the cause of humanity Baltimore

The husband differs-then spat-
A tickle. foolish falling out
Some words. some tears. a little rout;
Because they have not learned to share
Each others wishes. and forbear.

Whereby all points are compromised.
