ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
Robbers Failed in an Effort to Break
 Into the Postof1ice Safe.

Globe Silver Belt: A bold attempt was made to rob the postofice early Tuesday morning which failed of sue cess only because of the bungling work of the operator, who made So much noise in his efforts ito break into the safe that he awolle the occupants Of the adjoining houses. George w. P. Hunt, who sleeps in the adobe building thirty feet in the rear of the postofice, was awakened about 2:30 a. m. by the unusual sounds ,and on going out to see what it was all about, was seen by one of the burglars on guard near by who souded an alarm to his confed
 crates in the postoffiee. The latter appeared in the back door and at the same tune MT. Hunt threw stone at him and hallooed "shootp' Georges ghostly appearance was alone enough to put the burglars to flight; and, paralyzed with fear, they dropped everything and took to their heels. The man on the outside ran toward and across Broad street and his com- panion escaped through the front door of the postoffice and disappeared in the same direction.
 Postmaster J. F. Champion and As sistant George H. Ruce were early on the ground. An examination of the postoffice showed that nothing had been stolen The clumsy cracksman had given his attention exclusively to the safe He had broken off the com bination knob and handle that worked the bolts, and was preparing to insert giant powder in the lock when sur nricnd Alh tihp tnnlE iha 1JSpd 1av On the floor in front of the safe, consist ing of a four pound striking hammer, a punch, monkeywrench, iron dog, file, brace and bit for woodworking, and skeleton key made of an old silver plated case knife; also a tin can with a candle in it, a rude substitute for a dark lantern, and a half-pound can of powder and two short pieces of fuse. The hammer, monkey-wrench, dog and brace and bit have been identified as belonging at the Buffalo mine, and were stolen from the lower tool house at the mine the night that John Bill lings' saloon and other places were burglariZed several weeks ago, and it is evident that the same parties were implicated in both burglaries. It was with great difficulty that the safe was opened on Tuesday, as the end of the rod from which the handle bar had been broken was mashed so as to practically rivet it into the door. The burglars effected an entrance by pry- ing open the front door, after having first attempted to open the back door bp cutting a hole four inches square through the panel. The door was

Robbery of Wint House and a
 Saloon.
Attempt to Take In the Postoffice Rolled by George
 Hunt.

Globe Silver Belt: Shortly after 3 o'clock this morning two masked men entered the White House saloon, held up Wint House, the proprietor, and forced him at the muzzle of a revolver ito open the safe. One of the robbers took the valua,bles from the safe, but i'm his hurry dropped a sack contain ing $200 or more, belonging to Bert Kingsbury.
 The men were evidently familiar with the house, as their first act was to remove four revolvers from a drawer back of the bar.
 The plunder secured consisted oi about $500 in coin, gold watch and chain, faro box, four pistols, a car bine and a bottle of champagne, the last timing taken. The watch and chain and $75 of the money stolen be longed ito MT House, and the balance of the money to Messrs. Kingsbury and Crooks.

FOREST FIRE.
Hard Work for the Fire Department
 of Flagstaff.

Flagstaff Sun: Fire was noticed in the forest about four miles south of the Arizona Lumber and Timber com pany's plant Monday afternoon, but on investigation by the mill officials no apprehension was felt on its ac- count The strong wind from the south Tuesday night, though famed the flames into frenzy, and about 2 D. m a cafl was sent into the town for help, which was promptly responded ito by the fire department and citizens generally. At that time the fire had advanced to within a mile of the mill.
 The company had about fifty of its employees at the front with shovels and water wagons, but their efforts were of no avail, as the fire was carrying ev- erything before it. The men worked faithfully until the fire department with the engine and hose cart came to the rescue. Steam was raised in the Central Arizona locomotive and soon two water cars were in a position where the best results could be ob- tained. Two streams of water were used to the best advantage under the able supervision of Chief Bush, and at o'clock the fire was under control.
 At the time it looked as though nothing could save the mill, and with the gale then blowing, it would have taken hard work to protect the town. The origin of the fire is unknown, but is supposed to have started from burn ing brush on some ranch The con- pany kept a force of men on the ground all night Ito see that the flames did not spring up again.

Such a plague as civilized man never
experienced has, during the past two
years and half, afflicted the people CT
certain provinces of Russia. 1t is Il
plague of rats and mice. 1t has caused
tremendous damage 10 property, and, in
some instances, endangered the lives
Of the people. So abnormal has been
the increase of the pestiferous rodents
in certain localities in the agricultural
districts that the afflicted provinces
have literally been swept clean OF grain
in both field and granary. Having de-
stroyed the crops, the little animals
have invaded dwelling houses, and in
scores of eases, ruined them as places
of abode. Heroic measures were adopted
by the inhabitants to rid Themselves OF
the plague Colonies OF cats and terrier
dogs were imported into the districts.
,ut after a little while neither the eats
nor the dogs would pay the slightest
attention to the rodents. The govern
nent was then appealed 10 by the SUI
1ering people and recourse was had to
scientific means of idain9 the country

were employed ~ the government to de-
wise plans TO inocuate the rodents with
infectious disease, ana So successful
were they that the rats and mice died

SCiiatiC
Rheumatism

For real blood diseases relief can only
be obtained by using a real blood rene
ay. So many people who are suffe. ers
from an obstinate or deep-seated blood
disease make the mistake Of taking rem
sdies which at best are only tonics and
cannot possibly reach their trouble. 1t
Is IN just such cases which other so-ca1led
blood remedies cannot reach that
SIS. has made some of the most Won
derfnl cures. Rheumatism is one Of
the most obstinate diseases of the blood,
and there are few remedies which have
any effect whatever upon it.
Mr.. Asa Smith, who resides at Green
castle, Indiana, where he is we'll known,
writes:
"For many years have suffered from
that terrible disease known as Sciatic
Rheumatism, which the treatment Of
many physicians failed to relieve.

no good, as they did not seem to

KISSING OF HANDS rABooED.
Hygienic Reasons Lead to Abandonment
OF an Austrian Custom.

OF an Austrian Custom.
1t has hitherto. saws the New Orleans
Picayune. been the custom Of the chill
dren attending the public schools in
Austria and Hungary to kiss the hands
ST the teacher on arrival and departure.
This has now been forbidden by an
order from the imperial board Of edu-
cation, which bases its action On the
fact that sanitary investigation has
shown tha.- kissing is unhealthful and
should not be practiced except When
absolutely necessary. This brings up
a very nice point of law to establish
when kissing is absolutely necessary.
If the public school teachers Of Aus
tria and Hungary are old and ugly it
Is likely that the scholars viii acquiesce
ID the new ruling without a murnnr.
If. on the other hand the schoolmarnls
are 2retty young women, like most of
the New 0rleans teachers. then the bio
heys in Austrian schools may keep no
