 The demand Tn Europe for Amer can horses has grown 50 great that Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture has lately commits sioned c. B. StubbS of Denver to visit Eu- rope for the purpose of obtaining in- formation and reporting as to the character and type of horses best suited for cavalry, carriage and ether purposes in the different countries to which the United States has been ex- porting. It is stated that while the importation of horses in this coun- try has almost wholly ceased, exporta- tion is rapidly increasing. This will be gratifying to Arizonans and espe- cially SCI to horse raisers in the Salt RaVer valley. Dr. J. c. Norton has been lately requested by a prominent exporter to ascertain how many horses Of various classes can be obtained in this valley on short notice and he is now engaged in the preparation of such list
 The late bicycle war resulting in the cutting down of prices of many stand ard wheels has been of inestimable ad- vantage to a gentleman named Frank Swincoski. Swincoski Is the perscm who is charged with having stolen a Waverly wheel belonging to Dr.. Nor ton, who had not long before paid $50 for 1t, to say nothing of a $3 lamp at tached. In the course of the exami- nation of MT. Swincoski, which has bsen going on for several days in Jus tice kincaids court circumstances so frightened about MT. Swincoskii that that gentleman listening intently could almost hear the creaking of the gates at Yuma as they opened to receive him. But his attorneys, Flannigan and Wi lis, had recourse to the bicycle war and proved that the value of a wheel at the time Dr. Norton bought and its value at the time it was stolen were two mighty different things. The complaint against Swincoski was changed to petit larceny and Swim coski was taken back to jail to await trial today on that charge.
 Congregations at the First Baptist church were unusually large last Sun day. The pastor preached the third in course of evening sermons from the text found in Revelation 2O:14, "This is the second death." we need not fear physical death, that comes to all and is often painless. What we need to fear is spiritual death, which separates the soul from God Sin cor rupts and destroys the soul as disease corrupts and destroys the body. There can be no life in either the physical world or the spiritual world without light. Darkness means death. There are two masters who seek for our ser vice. At the end of our little day of life we receive our recompense-the gift of God, eternal life; or the wages of sin, death. Use is life, disease is death. Souls, as well as leaves, shrivel and fade and die To love Christ is to live; to hate Him is to die. We are responsible for the souls of others. The little ones we love are looking to us, listening to us, walkir g in our steps. How are we teaching them to live ,and to die? God help us to be faithful to their souls!
