Christian EndeavOr Conventions.

These demonstrations have a real
value for the country. They prove
conclusively that the active forces of
Christianity are not on the decline,
but rather developing in fruitfulness
each year. They show that the lines
separating denominations are growing
fainter each year, and that churches
are growing toward the idea of union
in their spiritual work. Made up of
young people from all sects, holding
various creeds, the basis for such assO-
citation is to combine for good in the
fight against evil. Much is due to the
Christian Eudeavor societies for abOl-
ishing the animOsities of church differ
ences. The influence radiating from
these conventions is the very best.
They encourage the growth of other
societies, and wherever any of these
flourishes, there is an active force
against evil and corruption. Nor do
these conventions neglect the develop
ment of patriotism. The songs tina
are sung, addresses that are made. all
fan the flame of loyalty to our institu-
tions and national history. 1t is pa
triOtism of the present kind that one
witnesses in these conventions. The
patriotism of.pure government, active
the upbuilding of the state and NUM-
cipality, all are taught and learned.
What this country needs is more OF
| these con entions. Free of ecclesias-
tical bigotry and sectarian narrowness.
they breathe spirit of urseltish devo-
| ton to the highest cause on earth-tbe
cause of living according to the golden
rule, and cleansing the nation of its ig-
norance and corruption. While the
time in which these demonstrations
have been given has been OF short
duration, the result thus far felt has
been beneficial. Possibly they are
open to criticism, but nothing that is
good is free from objection and assault.
The best always invites attack.-EX.

Rich Gold Mines.

In the hottest, driest spot in CalifOr-
mia, where the rattlesnake, the ella
monster, tarantula and the centipede
find the climate exactly to their liking,
and where all the power of nature
seems to have been exerted to make
a scene repulsive and disastrous to
man, recent discoveries have been
made indicating the possibility of the
presence of gold in perhaps the great
est quantity known on earth. This re-
giOn is in the Mesquite mining district,
about fifty miles north of Yuma, in San
Diego county, and only seven miles
from CLAIMS station on the Southern
Pacific. Two claims tb ere, the ''Irma''
and the ''Bay Horse" at a depth of
only thirty feet, are putting out $500
ore in quantities, aud it is said others
are even richer.
The owners have kept very quiet
about the find, and few plucky pros
pectors have gobhled all the territory
they could get cOntrC' Vi, for it takes
pluck to work :ne~'. When the mer-
curry only stands at lis degrees they
call it = ,Ol weather, and there is no
water within forty miles. All that the
miners have to drink is the little they
can get from the locomotive tanks at
Glamis. as the trains come in. The
ore is so rich that it pays a big profit
to ship just as it is shoveled out, and
the owners feel that they will not have
to fight rattlesoakes very long before
they can become rich enough to live
in Paris.

and moross, is the way you feel when
your liver fails to do its work properly:
in consequence you suffer from iudiges-
ton, biliOusness and dyspepsia. You
have don't care' spirit and a "play-

you.
To set the liver in action, purify and
enrich the blood, and to strengthen
and vitalize the whole system, take DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
Having peculiar tonic effect upon
the lining membrane of the stomach
and bowels, it makes a lasting cure OF
all stomach, liver and bowel disorders.
BY increasing the blood supply, as
we'll as enriching it, all the organs of
the body are strengthened, and the
nerves are fed on pure: rich blood.
Neuralgi la is the ''cry of the starved
nerves of foOd;'' nervous debility and
exhaustion, sleeplessness and nervous
prOstratiOn are in most instances the
direct result of a starved condition of
the blood. The true way to cure these
ailments permanently is to take the

was discovered and prescribed by an
eminent physician, DIR. r. V. Pierce,

Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. If you want
medical opinion on your case, write

Fought a Duel.

At Guanacevi mining town, about
100 miles west of Jimenez in the noun
tains, desperate duel between Frank
Lewaldson, we'll known American
mining man, and Andreas Cruz, the
wealthy owner Of the Perote mine, has
been fought. The men had a quarrel
over the question of boundary between
their respective mining properties, and
it came to blows. Cruz felt that he
had been insulted ana sent a challenge
to LewaldsOn to fight a duel. Lew
aldsOn refused to consider the chal-
lenge and did not even answer it. Cruz
then sent him note branding him a
coward and stating that he would kill
him the first time ha met him.
LewaldsOn preferred to fight a duel
to that kind of warfare, and sent no.
tice to thai effect to his antagonist. The
two men chose their seconds, and &C
companied by two surgeons, went to an
isolate spot in the mountains and fought
it out. They exchange five shots each
from pistols. AT the third fire Lewald-
son was shot through the left arm, but
he continued until Cruz dropped to the
ground with a bullet through his neck.
He is dangerously wounded.

The American Club.

There is some talk on the part OF
the American club of purchasing the
| building it now occupies and adding a
third story with a large ball room,
etc. The walls of the building are
fully sixty feet in thickness, an i'm
pOrtant consideration when an add
tional superstructure is in contempla-
ton.
The building is regarded as worth
1925, 600. 1t would cost a large sum of
money to build the extra story, it is
contemplated put in, in case the i'm
provement is made, an elevator to be
run by electricity, which will also
supply the light.
The expense would be enormous, but
the club gentlemen are realizing the
growing Importance of their institu-
tiOn in view of the rapid Increase in
numbers, wealth an influence of the
American colony. The club has now
nearly three hundred memb ers, and
has respe ctable surplus every month
over expenditures. 1t is calculated
that the rental of the ground floor now
used as offices would in itself guaran-
tee eight per cent on the investment.
1t is probably the finest business cor
ner in the city and brings good rentals.

Cuhan Amenities.

The feeling at Havana is still appre-
hensive OF a Cuban raid now that Wey-
Ter has left, and the officials are doing
much to improve the defenses of the
city and barbOr. The city is in an
exceedingly filthy condition., and dis
cases of all kinds are in full swing.
The gay Spanish officers who frequent
the cafes are up to all kinds of devlltry,
and scarcely u day passes but what
some tale of outrage and, at times,
murder is related. AT night the streets
are filled with half-drunken officers,
and it is not safe for woman to be
seen alone, even late in the afternoon.
AT night the houses are shut, as the
least sign of light will induce these
registering blades to attempt intrusions
of all kinds. Many girls have been
abducted from leading Cuban homes
and their fate is never known. If re-
is used, and if fatalities follow the
officials know full we'll that they will
never be called to account for them.
An engagement took place near
Sagua la Grande at La Pastoral recent
ly in which the guerrilla chief, Martz,
was defeated by the insurgents and
nineteen of this band killed, as also
three officers. The guerrillas had
"a ded pacificos' camp and we're on
their prisoners, mostly women. The
insurgents surprised them at night and
dispersed them, recapturing all the
prisoners Two of the women were
killed by stray bullets.
From garrisOned town near Trini-
did, the force were moved two weeks
ago, and a search of the officers quart
ers revealed large secret room in the
building used by the commanding Off
zoo, h nh to y1rI
Ii to II years, who had beeniimprisOn-
ed there for months, subject to the
vilest treatment. When the Spanish
left the place they nailed up the en-
trance to this portion of the house,
leaving the hapless prisoners to die.
Fortunately, two of the negro servants
knew of it's existence, and they at once
informed the insurgents and the girls
were released. So Infatuated were they
over this that the house was pulled
down by the people there and every
scrap of wood in it was burned.
In the mountains near Piuar del Rio
several engagements have taken place
recently Gen. Ducasse leading the
Spaniards merry chase. Last week
two b .ttalions left Pinar del Rio TO ex-
terminate the Cuban dogs, but they re-
turned seventy-two hours later badly
defeated troop, losing nearly ninety
men and six officers. The insurgents
had ambushed the Spanish forces. AS
the latter marched along the valley
they were led into trap by a Cuban
| spy and mercilessly slaughtered.
