Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The following is the weekly bulletin of the Arizona section of the climate and crop service of the weather bureau for the week ending September 7, 1897
 Cooler weather, especially at night, has pre- vailed during the past week in all sections.
 Scattered showers have continued, and, al- though local in character, there were few local ities that did not receive more or less rain. In some places in the higher attitudes the rainfall was frequent and heavy and occasionally &C., companied by hail. Altogether the weather was favorable to all interests except possibly few where threshing was interfered with by local rains.
 The mountain ranges, with rare exceptions, are now iD excellent condition, grass is p1enti- full, the water holes are generally we'll supplied, and stock is taking on flesh rapidly. The water suppIy in the Gila and Salt rivers and the ca nals leading therefrom has increased to fairly plentiful, but more water could and would be used for irrigating alfalfa fields if available.
 A copious shower, accompanied by strong gusts of wind and an unusually severe electric storm which appeared to extend over large area to the southeast, south and southwest, dropped nearly half an inch of rain at Phenix, Monday night, September 6.
 In the corn growing districts in the upper Gila county, south Navajo and Apache counties and the San Simon plains in Graham county, that cereal is reported to be III fine condition and making rapid growth
 While at few places in Pima county the rain- fall for the week was unusually heavy; at others in the same county, the grass, beans and corn arc suffering drouth, bugs and grasshoppers.
 Late wheat in Navajo county, now being har- vested and threshed, has suffered considerable damage by rust.
 Extracts from correspondents reports:
 Springerville-Rain on the 3lst and lst soak ing the ground so as to delay grain cutting, Cloudy and cool nights. Good feed on the ranges. Fruit ripeniug Mrs J. Udall
 Alpine Fore part of week very pleasant weather; latter part frequent showers greatly interfering with harvesting and causing heavy grain to fall somewhat. Grain ripening very fast. Crops good.-H. R. Burk.

Manuel Borgus, Mexican and hard citizen, is no longer terror. for he was removed from this earth at Stafford Fri day afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Dan Olney of Graham county. The officer met the Mexican, whom he at once re- cognized as man wanted in New Mex ico for horse stealing, He placed the man under arrest, and while be was talking with some men the Mexican reached over and snatched the officers revolver from the acabbard. He then fired point blank at the officer, but for tunately the bullet missed it's mark. The Mexican, who was on a horse as well as the officer. put spurs to the ami mai and made of, followed by crowd of men. He was chased into a corn field, where, after several shots had been fired the Mexican bit the dust. having been perforated by bullet from Olney's nchester.-Phoenix Gazette.

The True Remedy.

W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, H., "Chief,, says: "We won't keep house without pr. Kings New Discovery for Consumption. Coughs and Colds. Ex- Perlmented with many others, but never got the true remedy until We used Dr. Kings New Discovery. No other remedy can take it's place in our home, as in it we have certain and sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooplng. etc." It Is idle to experiment. with other reme- dies, even if they are urged on you as just as good as Dr. Kings New Discov- cry. They are not as good, because this remedy has record of cures and besides is guaranteed. Itnever fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free at St. Johns Drug Co.'S Drug Store.

When the cowboy of Venenzuela wishes to catch bull or COW for brand ing he rides alongside It and with horse and bovine on the dead run stoops from the saddle, grasps the creatures tall with sharp and peculiar twist and sends the animal rolling on it's back. From the force with which it falls the animals horns almost invariably pin it to the ground, giving the cowboy time to dismount and sit on its head while companion ties it's legs.

Now is the season TO lay the founda-
ton for future health and strength.
The corner stones Of good health are
complete digestion, sound sleep, pure
blood and a Perfectly nourlshed nerv-
Gus system.
The wonderful success Of Paine's eel
cry COMPOUND in making people well
and keeping them so, has always been
accounted for by physicians by its eX-
traordinary power of nourishing and
regulating all of these functions.
1t is not strange that so many unset
entiic remedies do no permanent good
when they disregard this close interde-
pendence Of the nerves and the organs
of digestion and circulation, and attend
to but one deranged part at the expense
of all the rest.
The only possible way that a real
lasting gain in strength and vitality
can come is through purer blood, better
nourished nerves and tissues, more re-
freshing sleep and an economy in the
expenditure Of nerve force.
These are the objective points aimed
