 "Miss Anna Schafer, of Dos Cabezss with . neighboring rsnchmau and his wife lsst week had c somewha, start ling adventure. While looking for cattle on the outskirts of their range the three rode up to 6 windmill, where the five bank robbers had just killed a besi steer.

THE IMPORTANT ISSUE.
A Contributor Who Tells the
 Why's and Wherefores.

ED PRCsPECToR In considering cial affairs Of the United States in case Mir. Bryan is elected president and the free coinage of both gold and silver should become the policy of the coun- try, it is well to consider the charges to be made in our banking system. We cannot have ,he assistance at heart. We should not have the assistance of the United States in maintaining the parity of the two metals gold and silver farther than making them a legal tender recievable for all demands public and private.
 The great question that will attract public attention will be the best means or laws suited to make both metals re dsmption metals the same as gold i- under the present financial system.
 The argument made by the gold sts ndsrd people tha, silver will drive gold abroad is certainly not logical The greenbacks did not. The issue of the greenback was fiat policy pure and simple, without any intrinsic valne in the greenbsck further than that il was a legal tender and receivable for all debts pubic and private, except dutIes on imports. Now, goli is the standard world wide. Can silver be maintained as of equal in ,riu-ic vaiu,. l6 to l is the great problem to be solved.
 The instant congress sent forth its fiat tha. greenbacks would be received by the United States in payment Of duties on imports and were exchange able for gold at the United States Treasury, though the greenback had DO intrinsic value, yet the fact that

A Gathering as of the 0lden

Tombstone has had socisls and en- sertainments without number bu, never such successful and enjoyable event ss the church entertainment last night. The hall was decorated with an elaborate display of vines palms and flowers and in every nook and corner the eye was greeted with arrangement of flowers and plants that eyidenced the touch of artistic hsnde. The true spirit was also manifest in evidence of the Is to I principle the pictures of Bryan, and large daisy-nsture's own argument with lo silver petals to the golden center were conspicuous and elicited favorable comment. The programme was choice and the vigorous encores of the audience showed the substan- tisl appreciation of the well merited presentation.
 Ths young children and tiny tots in their respective selections were lie tened to with marked attention ; nor was the attention simply on account Of their youth but their playing indeed had merit, and gave indications of future genius. The tableaus and parts rendered by the older folks csp- tured the audience. In the tsbleauI the s.tists sublime executions were admirably blended and each were faultlessly presented.
 After the programme was rendered the vast throng, for in point of attend ance it surpassed all previous similar occasions, followed the injunction of the programme and waited for ice cream and cake, which was served by the ladies to groups of congenisl friends psrtaking of the frozen deli cay who were formed about the tables until the demand exhausted the sup ply.
