The Nations Blrthday.

Considering the lack of preparation
 the Fourth of July was well celebrat- ed at Nogales. Many of the dwellings and business houses were decked with
 flags and bunting, and the parades were successful, while the social gath ering at the opera house at evening was most enjoyable event.
 The day was ushered with all the exuberant joy manifested anywhere. At midnight the welkin that's good word was rung by the explosion of numerous fire crackers, bombs and other dlaboical contrjvanccs fordeaf- ening old people and soaring young ones into mysteries, said contrivances being discharged by hilarious band of joyful youth l?i filled with patriot
 ism and other stimulcnts, who sat up all night t0 usher another good word the suspicious day with heartiness and eclat which would save it any feeling of loneliness And, at inter- vals they made it warm for the day so long as the day lasted, when they made it warm for tbe night.
 Early In the morning Company C.
 First Regiment Infantry, x. C. A. Commanded by Captain Allen T. Bird paraded the streets, marching first from the armory 10 the United States custom house, where the flag was sa- luted, with due ceremony. and sa- lute fired. Wheeling around in tue other street and deploying in front Of the Mexican consulate the Mexican flag was salntcd and another salute fired, Consul Mascarelas preltily ack- nowledging the salute by dipping his coloIs. The company then returned down the hill to Avery street, along which thoroughfare they marched Go the international line, along which they skifted to railroad avenue, down which they marched to the flat; coun- tcrmarching there it returned to Nor Icy avenue, marching 10 point below the Montezuma hotel, where deploy- ing across the street another salute was fired. Moving up Morley avenue to International street the line was again deployed across the avenue where fourth and last salute was fred The company then returned along Morley avenue to the armory where tho parade was dismissed.
 At evening the Nogales fire depart 1 meut was out under command of Chief L. w. Mix and assistant Chief Fred Herrera. About 7:30 D. m, the engine was brought out and the line | formed at the lower end of Morley | avenue in front of the town hall. At soclock the parade moved, the mem bers of the hose company marching on the outside, bearing torches of colored fire and dischargng Roman candles The procession moved up Morley avenue across International | street into Calie Elias, thence across Co Railroad avenue, across that to La Aduana lMexican custom house. thence to International street, along that to Avery street, to Crawford street, to the United States custom house and Mexican consulate.

THRIFTY EXlLES.

There is in western Kansas one class
of citizens that has successfully detied
the elements and has made success
of farming, regardless of the droughts
and all other natural disadvantages
with which the settlers on the far West
ern plains have had to contend. These
are the Russian MennOnities, the most
industrious people that ever plowed a
furrow Of Kansas soil. They have no
time to attend to anybody's- business
except their own, and, above all, they
never meddle with politics.
The Mennonities, exiled from south
ern Russia because of their religion,
made as systematic an ,X ,dus as did
the Israelites of old. They sent out
their agents to spy out land, and pur-
chase 100 900 acres from the Atchison
Topeka and Santa Fe and Kansas Pa
cifc railroad companies for homes.
Then the people packed up their house
hold goods and came to America. On
the depot platforms they landed, wear
ing sheepskin coats, and black kerchiefs
over their heads. They carried iron
tea kettles and regarded the gazing
Americans with as much curiosity as
they themselves attracted.
They built their villages of yellow
limestone, the houses having queer hil
roofs, green blinds, and double doors
| like those seen i'm mill. CuriOu:
ovens in which prairie grass or straw
! could be burned overcame the lack o
fuel, and street looked for all thu

SPRING TINE

Is when nearly everyone feels the
need of some blood purifying strength
invigorating and health producing me-
dicine. The real merit of Hoods Sar-
saparilla is the reason of its widespread
popularity. Its unequalled success is
it's best recommendation. The whole
system is susceptible to the most good
from medicine like Hoods Sarsapar-
lila taken at this time, and we would
lay special stress upon the time and
and remedy, for history has it recorded
that delays are dangerous. The re-
markable success achieved by Hoods
Sarsaparilla and the many words of
praise it has rcdeived, make it worthy
of your confidence. We ask you to
give this medicine fair trial.

world as though it had dropped out Of
an illustration in Siberian sketch.
Such names as Catherinestadt, Leber-
thai, and Pleiffer grace their towns,
and no man not Mennonite is allowed
inside their limits as a resident, though
visitors are cordially welcomed.
The Mennonities number several
thousand in the State, but they are
never heard of in politics. They are
busy tilling their 100000 acres, rails
ing stock, planting orchards, and piling
up wealth. The widawake Western
politician, standing on the street cor
ner explaining the contraction of the
currency to knot of listeners, sees
halfdozen odd-looking wagons toiling
up the road. They are loaded with
wheat, and solemnfaced Mennonities,
who guide the sober teams, pocket the
payments, and drive hOmcward. Ora
tors proclaim in the country school
houses and the eager real estate
agent plots additions to the towns,
but the Mennonities pay no attention
to either. They keep on selling wheat
and corn and cattle until they have be-
come the richest farmers, their number
considered, that Kansas affords. They
take few papers; they do not vote; they
care nothing whether the Government
is Republican or Democratic in its
management. They are as isolated as
though they were on the sea island,
except as they bring in their produce
to the shipping station.
1t is noticeable that nearly all their
lands are in the much-discussed arid
region, yet the Mennonities never ask
aid Of seed wheat. They prosper every
year and their homes are veritable
storehouses of garden field products.
To step into them is like visit to the
land of the Nolga. Curious furniture,
strange gard and peculiar habit impress
one with the feeling that he is in anoth-
er land and another age. The houses
are for the most part surrounded with
stone walls and old country fencing;
barns and impliments are everywhere
apparent. The people have their own
minis ,r their own church and their own
schools. When higher education is
desired-and some of their young peo-
pie are as forward in their ambition as
as American youth there is plenty
of money in the village bank to send
them to Europe or to some Eastern
college to acquire it.
During the year 1898, when COM
plaint of hard times has gone up from
the dwellcrs on the plains, when seed
wheat has been sent by the thousand
bushels to American settlers, the Rus
slams have continued to thrive. Their

ularly to the railroads and carload
after carload of wheat has been sent
East. Lumber dealers in the town
where they do their buying say that
there has been no diminution in their
purchases, and that by far the larger
portion of their yard-sales have gone
to their Russian customers.
There is an important lesson in their
success. They have shown by their
works what industry and frugality can
accomplish upon the prairies, and what
can be done with the right kind of
effort. Still, it is doubtful if the Ameri-
can could bring himself and his family
to the grinding economy of the Euro
pean peasant labor which the Mennon-
tiles nave transplanted in their settle
mentS.
