CAN 1T BE STOPPED.

Murders are becoming so common
that they have almost ceased to be look.
ed upon with any degree OF horror.
The laxity OF our criminal laws, or per-
hsps, nearer correct, the many avenues
OF escape from the penalty inflicted by
law, is the most potent factor in rem
dering crime as prevalent as 1t is.
Speaking upon the subject OF the re-
cent California murders, the San Fran
cisco Daily Report truthfully sets forth
the facts in the following:
Very dreadful are the Armenian
msssacree and SO are the murderous
raids of the Spaniards in Cuba; but the
slaughter of Americans, whom their
goverp ment fails to protect, overshad-
owe in extent all the work Of pRshas and
captain generals. We are horrified at
the massacre OF q few hundred from
time to time In Asia Minor and our
blood thrills with indignation on learn
ing that perhaps score OF men are shot
at sunrise every day In MORO Castle;
but every day nearly score and half
of Americans are shot or knifed to death
in America right under the Stars and
Steps aud in the shadow OF church
eteeplee snd court house domes anc Gu
polas, snd We do nothing but occasion-
oily talk the matter over In calm and
phllosophic way. Incommode a San
franciscan by making him exchange
check for transfer ticket and you
aropse the lion in hun; but mention the
fact that San Francisco has had thirty
four homicides in seventeen months and
the United States 10000 ir O year and
his il terest is lot enlisted. he says 1T
is very bad and asks how stocks are to-
day.
or course there is only one way to
check crime, murder or other, and that
is to make the punishment not only cer-
tain but swift. The idea of crime and
must be brscketed in the
minds of the morally irresponsible end
depreved, or there is no sequence and
no check. Our criminal
ists know that, and they know that
hst theory has been found correct in
Great Britain. 1t would almost seem
necessary before we settle upon how
murder is to be checked, to decide
or no we really care to check

GOOD WILL.

1t is always most gratifying to either
an individual, an association, or COM
munity to hear pleasant things said of
them. To know that ones efforts are
appreciated both at home and abroad
is the strongest incentive to earnest,
conscientious work. A visit to the
various towns and settlements in this
section OF the territory reveals the kind
iiest of kind feeling toward Tucson,
her institutions, aud her people.
Tucson he's always been looked upon
as substantial, permanent. and enter
prisiug by ali who are acquainted with
the city. Her institutions of every des-
cription are credit to the enterprise OF
her citizens and a matter of pride to
every resident of the territory.
The business men ara liberal in their
dealings with customers and follow TO
the letter the ''live and let live" plan,
believing that to be the only successful
way. In consequence of this well-known
policy Tucson merchants are constantly
busy filling home and foreign orders.
The brisk trade keeps their establish
ments constantly supplied with the
latest and freshest goods in every depart
ment, and consequently there is no
room for complaint.
Improvements are a marked feature
in the city, and are constantly being
made in various waye. New business
blocks, commcdious and imposing, are
in process of construction; old houses
and stores are being overnauied, re-
modelled, and added to, until in their
completed state, they cannot be told
from new. These Improvements are
none of them temporary. They are for
all time, and the main idea is permsn-
ence and stability.
Visitors comment most favorsbly upon
the creditable changes, and strangers
are at once impressed with the energy,
enterprise, and generally prosperous air
winch pervsdes the entire city.
Tucson's future prosperity is secure.
For all time she will keep adding corner
stones to her already staunch fouDds-
ton, and the superstructure erected
thereon will be marvellous for its mggni-
fcence and extent.

CaRLYLE-S PREDICTION.

More shan fifty years have passed
eince Carlyle, the great English Author,
made the following prediction relative
to the future of this country. Read
carefully, and compared with our pre-
cent condition, it would seem that as q
pregnosticator Carlyle was bowling
success:
'sThe republic west Of us will
have it's trial period, its darkest of all
houre. 1t is travelling the high road to
that direful day. And this scourge will
not come amid famine's horrid stride.
nor will it come by ordinary punative
judgments. Il will come as hiatus in
etatecraft, murderous bungle in policy.
1t will be when health is intact, crops
abundant, and the muni6cent And op-
en-. Then so-cslled Statesmen will cry
over production, the people will go to
the ballot-box amid hunger and destitu-
ton, but surrounded by the glitter Of
self rule, and ratify, by their ballots.

tion, uttered by mis- statesmen. and

BOWIE.
The End Of the g. ". g. & N. Rail.
road.

The End Of the G. ". G. & N. Rail-
road.
Bowie station, on the S. P, has long
been station of prominence, owing to
the fact that it has been the heaiqusrt-
era and starting point Of U. S. troops.
and the railroad station for Globe.
Probably as potent factor as any in
giving Bowie its reputation, has been its
excellent eating house under the man
sgement of Captain Tevis. No place
for Thousand miles on either side Of
Bowie, can you find more hospitsble
host, more genial, socisble companion,
nor one who pays more sssiduous atten-
ton to the welfare and convenience Of
his guests. The reputation Of the Cspt.'s
table is known far and wide, and travel
ers over the S. p. wait with pleasant an.
t,cpation the arrival of the train at
Bowie Others may be as good, but no
eating house on the entire line is better,
and the compliments paid Capt. Tevis
are Of most gratifying nature.
Upon his homestead Capt Tevis has
400 assorted fruit trees which are wat
cred by constantly running one inch
stream. His chicken yards are model
led : tier the most approved plans, and
with q number of inoubators in con-
slant operation, young, tender chickens
for table use are as plentiful as can be
desired. Fresh eggs by hundreds are
gathered every day, and all the vegets-
6les used are picked fresh every morn
ing from the we'll kept gardens which
form part of the captains model home.
The only merchant In Bowie is ID. W.
Wickersham. who does very extensive
business HIS establishment is complete
in every particular, and with his clever,
considerste treatment he has secured,
and retains most satisfactory patron
age. In fact, he does all the business
in his section.
G. T. Voolfolk, always good nstured,
keeps the saloon at Bowie. He cells
only the best goods in his line. Lately
be has been even more genial than ever,
nd only one cause can be assigned. All
his friends imagined that he was fetter. |
ed forever to bachelordom, but recently |
he slipped his sh8ckles and took unto |
himself bride. The lady who became |
Mrs. Voolfolk was Miss Mabel Harrell, |
au accomplished daughter Of Rev. DR. |
w. B. Harrell, of Dunn, N. c. The |
ceremony was performed at the Baptist |
church in Ell Paso, in April 9th lsst.
Carrying out it's plane OF station i'm
provsments along its line, the S. p. has
not neglected Bowie by any means. |
There are two wells at this place, which |
formerly were 80 and 290 feet deep. |
Recently the company has bored them |
still deeper and one now is 446 and the
other 456 feet deep. The supply of wa
ter is ample for all purposes and is raised |
by means of Stevens Walking Beam |
pump. which is connected with both |
wells and its capacity is 5000 gallons an
hour.

TIE CORONATION.

The panic at the feast of the corons'
tion OF the Car OF Russia was some
thing horrible to contemplate. Great
preparations were made for feeding the
multitude which would gather Oh the
occasion. On the plain long lines OF
rough tables, hsnked by rougher bench.
es, had been erected. 1t was fret ar
ranged to accommodate 400, 600 people,
but in view of the immense crowds as
sembled in and about the city at the
coronation fete, extra tables and bench
ee were erected, and every effort made
to provide meal for 100000. To feed
the multitude an army of cocks and
waters wss gathered together. The
army bake houses were taxed to the
utmost, and 100000 mugs, each bear
ing portraits of the cz8r and czarina,
were ordered fer presentation to the
people taking part in the banquet.
Thousands of head of cattle, trainlosds
of provisions and shiploads Of liquid re-
freehments were sent to the plain, 6nd
10 the mcrplng all was IN readiness for
the gigantic feast.
In anticipation of the assemblage OF
an immense crowd and the possibility of
disorder, strong force of police wss
detailed for duty on the plsip, three
miles outside of the city, on the road to
st. Petersburg. Several detschmepts
of infantry and cavalry were stationed
in the vicinity to support the police,
should such step be necessary.
By dawn the mass Of peasants about
the tables was really enormous, and ell
were desperately hungry. some having
tasted twenty-four hours.
The police did everything possible to
keep back the crowd, but suddenly the
masses pressed forward, and swept
everything before them, overturuing ta-
bles and benches, trsmpling hundreds
under foot and crushing the life out OF
a great number.
The exact number OF people killed has
not been sscertsined, for the police and
military eventually succeeded in reetor-
ing order snd took away the dead and
injured.
Preparations were then made to pro-
ceed with the banquet as if nothing un-
usual had happened.

BICYCLE MEET.
"A Treat For Lovers of Real Sport
Races Worthy the Name.

For some reason, unknown to the
scribe. the attendance at Union
park this afternoon was not what tie
management had reason to expect.
Those in attendance. however, were
treated to an exceptional exhibition OF
skill, speed and the real inwardness of
swift bicycle riding.
The races are only partially finished
as We go to press. Below is the result
until 4:25 o'clock:

There were four starters; A. Dancil,
A. Cooper, Fred Osterloh and Chas.

lob. and Drake left the trsck before
reaching the ''home plate"
There were eeven entries for event

BROKEN IDOLS.
Amateur and Coast Records Mangled
and One of che Worlds in the
Balanc5.

Hereafter Tucson's bicycle track and
her unapproachable climate will occupy
large space in the memory Of Amer
lean bicycle flyers.
The national L. A. W. meet yesterday
was more satisfactory in every respect
than the most sanguine had hoped for.
The riding was q series of surprises
from start to finish, and there was
absolutely DO respect shown for records
for they were broken with thoughtiess
disregard.
The coast amateur record was lower
ed elk seconds by Ed johnson, with
Albert Cooper second. Time 2:l6.
In the two-thirds mile, professional.
only two seconds and fraction were
wanting to destroy the fastest record
ever made. Coulter crossed The tape in
1:27. he was closely followed by
Parker.
The two-mile amateur handicap was
won by Fred Osterloh, and Albert
Cooper was close behind. Time SIT.
Perhaps the most exciting event si
the day on account of the wonderful
finish was the one-mile professional
handicap, six entries. II was won by
Coulter, scratch. in PIP 2-5, red ucing
the coast record from 2:33; Floyd Nc.
Farland, 80 yards, second and Eli Vine
sett, 60 yards, third. The most remark
able thug about the race, aside from
the great Topping off OF the record was
the circumstance that the six flyers
Crossed the tape in q bunch.
Albert Cooper who sustained TucsoE's
honor iB the several contests is only
sixteen years old and is therefore the
youngest racing man OF record in the
United States. The professionals pre-
dict great career for him as a wheel

Whom the Swallows Homeward Fly,

one OF the most useful travelling CON-
panions, one that never fails in an emer-

sea sickness, nausea, headache, bilious
ness and Da 'arial, complaints. Dyspep-
