Drawing Near a Close.

F. E. Jordan ct al. vs. George Fl SchuermSn is the title to the case which has occupied the attention of the court all of today. This is the sixth day of the trial, but the begin ming of the end can now be seen, as the evidence closed this forenoon, and argument was commencel this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
 The judge has limited argument till noon tomorrow, which will allow each side from two and half to three hours to impress the testimony on the minds of lhe jury.
 Some of the best legal talent ob- tainable in this territory is em- ployed in thIs case, besides one attorney from Colorado and one from Montana. Some fifteen or twenty witnesses have been exam med m all, and the case has been stubbornly fought from the start, and will be to the finish. the rC- porter's notes being profusely orna- mented with objections, exceptions, motions to strike out, etcetra.
 The case is very closely allied to that tried in Tucson a few months ago, in which the same parties were plaintiff, and John Duke defendant, the transcript of testimony in which makes nearly 500 type written pages.
 There are sill nine other cases on the court calendar pending trial, involving title to mining property m the same district, Tn which, practic- ally, the same parties figure. Should these be brought to trial, and should each one take the same length of time to determine, it can easily be figured when they would be concluded-about Thanksgiving.

The Only Ladies' Man.

Assistant Superintendent Aspin- wall, of the prison, is the only ladies man on the hill. It is his duty to look after the wants of the female, convicis, of whom therc are three, of more or less dangerous characters. who have heretofore been a source of much annoyance and displeasure to the guards and management, ow- ing to their scrapping proclivIties. In some manner, however, the as- sistant superintendent, either bv his kindness, good looks or winning ways, has won the confidence and good graces of the frail prisoners, and now they will not speak to any one else connected with the manage ment of the institution. MT. Aspin- wall has promised 10 have their wardrobe replenished, as their wear. ing apparel is somewhat frayed, and even behind the prison bars they have not lost any of that feminine pride, a desire to dress as we'll as anybody. The assistant superinten- dent proposes to sec that tho girls arc dressed as we'll as possible under the circumstances, but says they will have to leave of the frills of fashion until they are released from his care.-Yuma Sentinel.

The American Monthly Review of

The American Monthly Review of Reviews for September has good deal to say about the Andrews incl dent and Brown University-not SO much, as the editor remarks, on account of the personal interests involved m the case as because ol the far reaching principles affecting academic life and liberty which have become matters at issue. A fair minded and judicious estimate of President Andrews services to Brown is given by writer fully couversant with the facts, and the protest of the faculty is printed m full. The editorial comments on swkwardness and needlessDess of the situation are piquant and to the p pint.

rrcatme.,t of Appendlrltis.

Since appendicitis became what may be called a fashionable disease thero has been very large amount of talk and literature on the sub ject.
 An eminent foreign authority ex- presses the opinion that a very large proportion of cases of appendicitis are directly and almost immediately curable by the use of enemata either of olive oil or of water as warm as can be comfortably borne, with a little glyoerin or castillo soap He says in almost every instance the operation has disclosed the fact that there was an accumulation of refuse matter in intestines. This, if cleared out by any process, gives immedi- ate relief, and in many instances a permanent cure. Persons who are in the habit of using means of this sort are -aid to be singularly free from intestinal troubles of all kinds. When one reflects on the disastrous consequences of permitting waste matter to accumulate in the system. especially in warm weather, when the body Is in a more or less heated and feverish condition, the wonder is that there are no more fatal cases of internal disorders New York Ledger.

Elks, Social.

The Prescott Lodge of Elks gave another of their very pleasant so- cials at their hall last night after the close of their lodge. Reese NJ. Ling officiated as chairman, and afforded no end of amusement in that capacity in fning members of the lodge.
 Before proceeding with the exer cises of the evening, he delivered an address of welcome, which was couched in very neat terms, and explained some of the principles of the order.
 T. G. Barlow Massicks and J. R. Lowry were appointed as police men to bring offending members before the bar of justice, as presided over by the president of the meet ing, and they were fined q number of times during the evening. If they stood up they were fined for not sitting down, and if they seated themselves they were linod for nos standing up. In fact, it seemed diff. cult to escape fine, no matter what was done. An orchestra from Fort Whipple, under the leadership of Prof. La Guardia, furnished music for the occasion. Dr. c. T. Abbott rendered a vocal solo, l.. A. Davies and F, E.. Andrews rendered vocal duet, to each oI which numbers, G. A. Allen acted as accompanisi, and Dr. Wall gave recitation, while short speeches were made by a num- Der of members and visitors. Re- freshments, consisting of sandwiches and beer were served, aud the even ing was spent very pleasantly. While there was good attendance, many were deterred from attending by the storm, who would otherwise have been there to share the hospi, tality of the order.

Two gangs of workmen have just
 begun digging in Colorado the long- est tunnel that man erer attempted
 to construct. The main bore will
 be twenty miles long. and connect. ing with this are subsidiary tunnels with total length of thir,y miles. So, m reality, says the San FFan- cisco Examiner, the task that has been put under way. is that of dig ging fifty miles of tunnel, and every foot of this vast system will be un. der Plke's Peak and the mountains 1 that tower on each side.
 The starting point of the main tunnel is at the foot of the mouh- tain leading up to Pike's Peak, near the old town of Colorado City. The further end Of the tunnel IS at the edge of the mountain at Four Mile creek, over in Freemont county, Colorado, SIX miles south of Cripple Creek, and hear the little town of Sunol. Two gangs of meu, as stated, are working on the tunnel, one at each end. Just at the present they are making progress at the rate of thirty feet a day. It is believed that the mammoth task they have undertaken will be completed in seven years from the first of the present month.
 The main tunnel will pass directly under the cone of Pike's Peak at . depth of nearly 1000 feet, an,l 2.7OO feet beneath the town of Victor. It's average depth from tho surface will be 2,S00 feet, and 1t is designed to test the mineral deposits of the territory at these great depths. Thirty miles of laterals are coutem- plated. and these will pass under meath all tue Cripple Creek district at an average depth of 2.S00 feet. Cripple Creek, Victor, Gillette, the various small towns and thousand mines are to be made tributary to this system.
 Under present circumstances the distanee-the shortest way-from Colorado Springs to Cripple Crock, IS tifty-four miles. By way of the tunnel the two cities will only be sixteen miles apart. It is estimated by the contractors that the average cost per foot for excavation will be $50. This makes the total probable expense of digging the tunnel and its subsidiary branches, S20,- 5a,O00. All of this stun the Lunnel people expect To crush out of the ore their workmen will break while excayating, or glean from the mug gets which may fall out of secret pockets so far below the earth's surface.

David Herst, a Sumner County Kansas, man, had five quarter sec. tions all heavily mortgaged, and suit was begun last spring to fore close on all of them. The eases were set for the term of court which will begin next month. but Herst sold his wheat last week for S2,OOO more than enough to pay all of the mortgages. He is now trying to set 1: tie up the cases and get ready to SOW another crop of wheat.
 It is shown by the report of the Mississippi rIvcr commission that the flood of the Mississippi river last spring WAS the highest on record. Ihs total length of the levees or both sides of he river was 1877 miles and there wore thirty-eight breaks by tho food, aggregating S.7 miles. An interest ing feature of the breakages IS that none of tho levees built by the United States government were broken. All the breaks were in thoss portions built by the states, municipalities or private parties.
 Five armed and masked men held up the four men on guard at tho Orphan Bell mine, near Cripple creek, and stole ton sacks of high grade sylvanite ore valued at four thousand dollars from the shaft house.

Among the parties leaving Pheni
 early in tho excitement for KiOn
 dyke were l.. P. Nash, well known il
 this county, and Al. Kyle. Unde
 date of August l5, the former writei
 to friend in Phenix as follows iron
 Dyea:
 ''I wrote you last from Juneau
 We remained there about two hour.
 and left at noon. Arrived at Skaguay
 at lO.30; the distance Is about lO(
 miles. The place is situated on
 Dyea Inlet. We remained there all
 day yesterday and last night. This
 morning we hired a boat and came
 oyer here, about ten miles. TLere
 are two trails over the mountains,
 one via Skaguay and one via Dyea.
 They arr paying as high as thirty
 two cents pou d to pack oyer each
 trail. The Dyea trail IS the nearest so we go by it.
 "Al. Kyle and I go from here to
 Dawson City with J. F. Mo tgom- cry, of Los Angeles, and Dr. Phil lips, of Reno. Nevada. We have in the neighborhood or 3,O00 pounds aud plenty of every thing to last until spring.

Phenix butchers have entered into another combination to raise the price of beef. The agreement took effect on the first of the month and now beef has raised two cents. The consumers are kicking, but that availeth nothing, unless one of he butchers breaks away from the com binatinn and lowers the price. The same thing was tried last year, hut it did not last very long. The scar city of cattle is advanced as one reason for the raise in the price, the butchers claiming that nearly all ol the cattle have been shipped from the valley, and that they have to pay a higher price as a consequence -GaZette.

BILLING THE TOWN.
Development Of the Art oG sprcadin,
 Around the Poster.

Around the Poster.
 At the time I began billing the
 town, said the circus advance
 agent, "it meant something like
 this: First, several papers of tacks
 were procured and little pieces of
 leather cut into half inch squares
 were pushed over the sharp points
 of the tacks. A few ono sheet bills
 were then put up in tho hotel bar
 and railways and about 20 or 30
 three sheet posters were tackled in
 conspicuous places about the town.
 Four or five programmes, or quarter
 sheets, were distributed among the
 storekeepers. The day and date the show was to exhibit had to be stamped by hand on every bill or
 marked on them with a crayon. By the time the agent had finished his days work you can we'll believe he was used up
 Sometimes Rn energetic agent would go out on inc country roads around the town md, coming to a church, would tack a handful of programmes on the fence nearby, so that tho churchgoers could help themselves when they came to meeting the next Sunday.
 II recollect a 12 sheet poster that was designed, printed and copy righted about the year 1870 by Dr. James Reilly, then at 10 Spruce street. It represented large num- Der of birds, all of them perched on the spreading branches of a tree. This poster was in many respects remarkable. The finest artists and engravers were employed, the best of materials used and only the most expensive inks Unusual care was exercised in the printing.
 So much was thought of the poster that it firmly established the printer as the best in America in the eyes of all Rhowmen. A copy of the poster was framed and hung on tho wall of the printers office, where it remained for many years. By tho way, when this printer died, about the year 1880, there remained on his books over s25O. 900 in uncol- lectible accounts, a slight token of the esteem in which many of the showmen held him.
 ''In the old days, when the rivalry between the circuses was very sharp, 1t often happened that two shows would be billed for the same town within a few days of one another. Then you ought to have seen the posters and handbills that were scattered broadcast. {
 "The bill wagon, continued the lgent, twas succeeded by the ad- Vertising cars when cirouses took 10 orailroads and gave up wagons. On he advertising cars steam boilers z were placed for the purpose of mak- ng paste. |
 The posters now in use by the [ 'ircus range in sizo from 1 to % | 'heets, the latter known as combina- s ion bills-that is, they can be di- 'ided into several of ten sheets each, 'ach part making poster by itself, 2 IT they can be used all together, the z vholc forming a complete bill. As [ last as attractions are secured for u he circus descriptions or photo f, yraphs are furnished the artists, {, nd when the sketches are approved I hey arc turned over to the printer p 0 be put upon the stone Eleven n tons of stone were used last a ear by one printing house in get ' ing up the posters for one show V lone.

During these important first few years
when the child is rapidly developing, no
pains should be spared to secure food of
absolute purity and sufficiently nourishing
to make sure of complete and healthy
growth.
The purest, most nutritious and the most
easily assimilated infant diet is actated food
A poorly fed baby may sometimes increase in
weight and grow fat, hut the flesh is fiabby
the blood poor and thin, the skin white and
the temper irritable. These are often the first
symptoms of 'rckots" By feeding the little
one upon lactated food, which is declared by
physicians to be the most perfect substitute
for pure and healthful mothers milk, these
symptoms are easily avoided.
Too many infants are literally starved be
cause the mothers food does not agree with
them, and some mothers are obstinately fool
ish enough to cling to breast milk when they
perceive its insufiiciency.
When infants throw up their milk or when
they are not keeping up their strength, espec-
tally during hot weather, it is plain there is
trouble with the food Children mot doing
well" when fed with this splendid nutri-
meut gradually cry less and less their sleep
becomes sound by night, and by day they are
bright and noisy and happy Such is the
great difference between babies that are
nourished by lactated food and those that are
poorly, because improperly, fed.
Lactated food has saved thousands of infant
lives from cholera infantum, collie and fatal
diarrhoea, Physicians prescribe lactated food
to be kept always on hand and used at once
upon the first indication of looseness, loss of
strength, or if baby is not eating well and
growing on its present diet.
Lactated food is easily within the means of
the humblest home in the land 1t is just now
a necessity in every family, where there are
young children.
