Something to Know.

It may be worth something to know that the very best medicine for restor- ing the tired out nervous system to a healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to the nerve centres in the stomach, gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys, and aids these organs in throwing off impurities in the blood. Electric Bltters improves tue appetite, aids digestion, and is pronounced by those who have tried it as the very best blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for 50c or S1 .00 per bottle at St Johns Drug Co.'S Drug Store.

McCORD ON CUBA.

The New York Journal recently ad dressed circular letter to the gover. nors of the different states and territo. ries, asking an expression ofsentiment as to the present situation on the Is- land of Cuba and in regard to the present crisis in the relations between the United States and Spain. Myron H. McCord, governor of Arizona, an. swered the inquiries by the following utterances:
 believe as believe every other loyal Amer. ican citizen feels on the Cuban question think the independence of Cuba should be rec. ognized at once, or at least that belligcrent rights should be accorded to the political organ ization of the insurgents Spain has failed tc subdue the instruction and has conduc ted the war in an inhuman manner It is full time fol the United States to interfere.

The Horse T hief.
Southwestern Stockman |.


 The National Horse Thief Detective A Association is the name of body that met during the week at Madison. Ind. Arizona will be gratlfed to learn, through the report of the presidents speech, that. through the operation of the vigilance of the association and it's allies, the crime of horse stealing, "once considered as equivalent to mur- der and accordingly punished, is dying out" When the Arizona horsethief hears this news he will without doubt cease his nefarious practices. It is a lamentable fact that, despite the low price of horses, there is more horse stealing going on in Arizona at the present time than for many years be- fore. Throughout this valley horses disappear almost daily from the pas lures. The theft is too often put down as a stray, and low place in the pas ture fence IS blamed when the. officers should have been notified and put at once on the trail. Ofcourse it's always the best horse in the bunch that takes the critical eye of the expert horse thief. Days pass by, the hunt in the proves unsuccessful and the farmer at last IS compelled to admit there could nothing happened to his nag short of stealing. Occa sionally horses are taken in the citIee, from the hitching places. Animals are picked np on the range and ridden of. Very rgTeIv. it is iu b--eGrrU'o rs.tiv con r~~~~3 are the thieves spprehended aud pun- ished. This too despite the fact that every peace officer has become aware of the undoubted fact that there is a regular trafic in stolen horses between Arizona and Sonora, the animals being across the line and ridden openly after the opposite side has been reached. This state of affairs is mat ter that well may come before the con- sideration'of the newly-organized Ari- zona Stock association.

T Oen. Nelson A. -llies, ID 8 recenl London interview, when asked # the 1 United States army was able to cope
 with a European power, replied: "In
 any population it is estimated that one
 man out of five is capable of bearing
 arms. That would give the United States an army of 100000. Our per- pie are strong physically and generally intelligent and we'll informed. Besides that, each citizsn is a sovereign and personally interested in the welfare of his government. and serves volun. tarily without being forced into ser vsce by military despotism. We have many thousands of men still living who have seen more war, participated in more battles that any man in Eur ope. But 1t is quite another thing to equip an army with modern appliances for defense of the coast, where we would have to use high power guns and modern prOjectiles. which it takes years to construct. Modern rifles are different from the squirrel guns with which our revolutionary fathers went to war The range ofmodern arms is very great and the projectiles heavier. The Maxim and Gatling guns fire four hundred to six hundred shots minute Although these are Americans inven- tion they are largely used in European service."

A person sitting near by saw the act and asked the young man what he was taking the powder for. He re- piled that the powder was strych nine and that he wanted to kill himself. As tue powder did not take effect he real lzed that the druggist who sold him the stuff had anticipated his intention and sold him some harmless powder. The wonld-be sucide walked out of the saloon, stating that he would find other means of killing himself. The officers were notified and a search instituted for the young fellow, but he could not be located up to late hour last night.

 them get an opportunity to see Mir Me hinley, and those who do see him do not get much satisfaction. He makes some appointments nearly every day, but lots of them are men whom he knows personally or wishes to reward for personal work done for him. As & result there is some plain talk in the hotel corridors from those who believe themselves entitled to official recogni- tion and who have been led to suppose they would get it. Slowly, but surely, an anti-McKinley sentiment is growing among republicans.

In answer to my question he told me that. long time before his first grandfather was born, there came fire or six years when Apache could not get enough to eat. Deer and an- teIope were very scarce, because there were too many to hunt them. The wise men said, we must make big war and kill many people, so that the other can live But first came a big pow WOW. All the mountain Indians went on visit to the river Indians and had big talk. "Then they made big swear The mountain Indians agreed not to eat any fish, and the river In dians agreed to eat no deer. 50 after that, everyone had enough"
 This explanation IS sad te be com monly accepted by the Indians them selves. though it does not look a very plausible one. Our authority concluHes with the suggestion that there mu st have been, in the distant and long for gotten past of this tribe. some event of experience of most startling charac- ter-something more impressive than mere verbal agreement-to have stamped this custom so indellbly into their nature. Since the Apache has 8 rather unique reputation for not abid- ing by other agreements or promises, It is almost inconceivable that merely 1 on account uf promise made by his forefathers, he should continue to re- frain from the favorite food of his neighbors.
