and became very disorderly near the
court house. A policeman tried to arrest
him, but he refused to go, lying down in
the rain and mud and declaring he would
not move a step. But he did move; the of
fcer summoned three men to help him,
and one took hold of each foot and one
seized each of his hands and carried
him this way, his back, every
time he struggled to get free, getting a
good washing in the puddles along the
street. And after they got him into the
station house he made things lively for
awhile with his yells and curses.

because the weather happens to be warm. If you have a weak throat, a slight hacking cough, or some trouble with the bronchial tubes, summer is the best time 10 get rid of 1t. If you are losing flesh there is all the more need of attention. Weakness about the chest and thinness should never go to- gether. One greatly increases the danger of the other. Heal the throat, cure the cough, and strengthen the whole system now. Keep taking Scott's Emulsion all summer.

SELFGUARDED CONNECTS
Work Without Guards Day
 or Night.

At present there are abont thirty short term prisoners, all having les. than tive years to serve (few in the pen have more because of the pardon power), who are csmped from four to six miles up the river from Yums. These men are alone, there being no one but convicts in the camp, and, strange to say, not an escape has been recorded. These men are engaged in cutting wood, and by SO doing tbey supply the SIP 90 worth a day peces- sary to supply the prison, and at the same time hundreds of cords are piled up as 0 reserve. Why do the men stay without guard? Simply be. cause each guard the other. Some have only 6 few days to serve. All are allowed e rebate for .he work they do. For each two cords of wool chopped the individual who performs the work is reba.ed one day on Eis term of service. In the event that one escapes all rebates are declared off. Thus each man becomes his brothers keeper, and is the gainer by keeping him in camp.
 Guards at the prison are armed with field glasses, with which they can view the camp, and the nature of the country makes escape difficult. A team is used by the convicts to haul wood 10 barge, and thus it is noated down to the prison. It is net likely any other prison in the world can le, the c0nvicts run at large.-Gazette.

How Two ArizOnan's Were
 Taken In.

A new bunco game has como to town. IL is mystifyiDg at first. but very simple-after it is played.
 It was recently worked by some bunceists of South Spring street On two Arizenan's But tine Arizenaus knew there was a carse for every effect, and soon unveiled it.
 Two of the buncc its walked the Arizonans to certain district in the northern part of the city near Cape Horn."
 As they neared one of the fly.blown saloons, a man came out, staggering, but net dangerously, drunk.
 "I'll bet the whiskey and $2o that he falls before he gets to the second corner" said one of the buncoists.
 The Arizonans were good judges of men in such condition, and knew about how mnch man should be able to navigate with. As the man did not seem tobs heavily loaded, they thought it a good bet and put up the $2O.
 Immediately the man fell. He had not looked back, and the bunco men had not even coughed. The Arizona men knew that there must have been 6 signal, but they could not see through it. Finally, they recollected that as the money Was put up, one of the men seemed to wave kis hand; 1; then a man across the street took of his hat, and the drunken man inn fell down.
 This % staggered the Arizonans that they put their wits to work and soon figured it cut, but not until after the buncsists with the S20 had dis Angeles Express.

WADE HAMPTON'S REPORT
As Commissioner of Railways-Low Water
 Reached.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Gsneral Wade Hampton, who has just been succeeded by General Longstreet as commissioner of railways, has submitted to the inte- rior department his report for the fiscal year. He Says that the year reached the low water mark of railway construc- tion. During the year thirty -four com panies with 5,441 miles of rails passed into the hands of the courts, and fifty eight others, previously placed in re- ceivership, were sold at the foreclosure.
 A steady improvement in railway earnings during the first six months of the current year is noted, an improve ment particularly apparent in the bond aided Pacific railways. The outlook in the west generally for the past year is reported very encouraging.
 General Hampton, though discount ing any attempt to criticise the course of the government in the Union Pacific matters says he has always believed that a settlement more advantageous to the government could be obtained if all the companies, particularly the Union and Central Pacif1cs, could be negotiated with at the same time through a com mission to be appointed by the president, possibly all in the same way, than by settling at different times on a different basis. Government ownership or opera tion under government supervision, he says, would not only be a doubtful, but a dangerous experiment, which probably would result disastrously to the govern ment.

 international bime tallism as a world possibly is dead.
 Let us recognize this. The interna- ticnal bimetallic commission appointed under the St. Louis plsdge of the re- publican party has made strenuous ef- forts on behalf of this policy. Those efforts have proved futile. The com merciaa necessities of the world have demonstrated that dual standard is commercially uracce raable and in the present stage of civilization, impossi- ble.

 '''rhe sB.uatio is a most definite, lear and .unequivoeal declaration that inter- natioral btmetallism is a dream of the past. The United Sta.teS must proclaim their acceptance of the word fact and plant themselves firmly on the single gold standard.

VERY SATISFACTORY
Was Span's Reply, Says the President-Aid for
 Ice Bound Whalers Provided

Washington, Nov. 9.-The full text of Spain's reply to the Woodfopd note was read at the cabinet meeting today. Its tone is ver'y pacific and, instead of being at all warIlke, was regarded by the cabinet as very satisfactory and as cal culated to allay any fear of a hostile outbreak.
 The cabinet also gave consideration to the ice-bound Behrtng sea whaling fleets. Two plans have been decided upon, one to send the Bear from Seattle, which cannot be gotten ready for two weeks, and another to send the Thrnsher, a whaling vessel, now at San Francisco. This latter determination was reached after the receipt of a telegram by Secre- tary Long from the commandant of the Mare Island navy yard. The Thrasher can be commissioned at once and sent immediately on her mission.
 1t Is stated that there Us very good supply of provisions at Point Barrow and another supply at Helschel Island. Also that at least three vessels loaded with provisions will winter in the Arctic. The location of the reindeer in Alaska, which are wanted for transportation, are mot known, but it is bDfeYed supply can be obtained.

WANTS AN INJUNCTION
Aga'nst tfe Southern, as IL Operate Compet-
 ing Lines Contrary to Law

Macon, Ga, Nov. 9.-The hearing on the petition of the Dunlap Hardware company ct al., against the Southern railroad, application for receivership, will take place before Judge Emory Speer in this city tomorrow. The peti- tion alleges that the Southern Railway company, by its ownership and control of the Central railway, the Southwestern railway and the Georgia Southern and Florida, is acting in direct conflict with the constitution of the state of Georgia, which prohibits the control of one rail- road by another for the purpose of sti- fling competition. The charge is made that Macons business is seriously im- peded by the ownership of the Southern.
 The petitioners assert that the control of the competing lines running into Ma con by the Southern railway is danger ous to the commerce of the city
 The petitioners ask that the Southern railway be perpetually enjoined from the control of these roads, and that receiver be appointed to take charge os the stock owned by the Southern. rail- way in the competing lines.
 Senator George F. Edmunds, of Yer mont, is counsel for the Southern rail- way company.

THIRTY. SIX MEN,
Hemmed in By Flames, Butchered By Mur-
 derous Tribesmen.

Simla, Nov. 9.-The report that a na- tive officer and thirty five Sikhs belong ing to the Kurramir column had been intercepted by tribesmen in ravine and slaughtered is officially confirmed. It appears that they were assisting in a reconnaissance up the Yurmana river. Taking a short cut down hill. they came to a ravine where the grass of the jun gle was burning. The flames spread so rapidly as to completely cut off their retreat, and the tribesmen, seeing their predicament, swarmed on the high ground, hurled down rocks upon them and closed round the men until the whole thirty-six were shot or cut down. The Sixhs fought heroically until the very last, their officer killing two rebel chiefs before he fell.
