The commissioners OF San Juan
county have ordained license tax on
grazing OF 21s cents per head on cattle

this to raise the revenue and try and
hold their own. 1t is a question

KILLING OF MOUSE.
Hon. R. c. Lund Gives Particulars
of the Indian Murder


Hon. R. c. Lund of st. George ar
rived in the city yesterday to remain
until abter the Jubilee. When seen by a
Herald representative at the Cullen
last night, Mr.. Lund related a story of
the killing Of the Indian Mouse,
who gained considerable notoriety last
February on account of the murder Of
two prospectors in Mojave county,
Arizona.
The circumstances which surrounded
the murder OF the two men were
printed in the papers soon after the
killing.
1t seems the prospectors were in
camp near a valuable claim which they
were working. One evening Mouse
came along while the prospectors were
preparing supper Mouse was invited
TO dine with them, which he did. The
Indian could talk English very well,
and the prospectOrs told him Of their
mine and said IL he would remain over
night they would take him down TO
where they were working and show
him the ledge they had exposed. The
Indian consented to remain and went
with them.
Soon after they had arrived at the
mine the Indian shot and killed both
the white men, and the body of one
fell over cliff for a distance of 20
feet
A posse was started out after the
redskin and he was traced over into
Nevada where some Indian trailers
continued the hunt for Mouse.
A few days ago Mouse was sur
rounded by the Indians in persuit near
Overton, Lincoln county, Nevada. He
made a desperate effort to make his
escape. but when within a short dis
lance of the Las Vegas range he was
killed by the pursuing party.
The governor OF Arizona and the au-
thorities of Mojave county. in that ter
ritory. offered a reward of $3.50 for the
capture of Mouse. dead or alive. This
sum will be divided among the Indians
who kept up the constant chase for the
murderer.

The Ballot,

The Legislature should make some pro.
vision to facilitate voting at our elections.
The Australian ballot is too unwieldy, as
we'll as to expensive. The envelope sys-
TEN proposed by Thomas B. Coursey, is
just as secret, less expensive and certainly
greatly preferable. II there is any better
method, we should like to hear 1t suggest,
ed. II the Myers system is practicable
and not too costly, we should like to see 1t
tried With proper care, all juggling
with the count of the votes would be i'm
possible. The result could be announced
a. soon as the polls were closed and u great
saving in clerk hire would be made. 1t
should be made easy for citizens to qualify
cheating should be made impossible, The
tricks of scoundreliy asssssors and viii
famous tax collectors should be rendered
negatory and every opportunity for full
Fly specks and blots should not invalidate
any mans vote and the voters assistants
should be above suspicion. Beside re-
turning boards should be compelled to do
their duty and any usurpation on their
part should be visited by fine and impris
onment. Revolution may be avoided by
fair dealing, but with cheating and usur
patton 1t is bound to come eventually aud
perhaps the sooner the better for the
country and the preservation Of tho liberty
of our citizens

THE SHAKERS IDEA Of MEDICINE

Now days when q man goes to his doc.
tor, he is usually told that he has some un-
heard of disease with long name, and
when he leaves the Office he does not know
whether 1t is st. Vltus Dance or consump
ton that Ia gradually undermining his
health.
1t is therefore refreshing to talk with the
Shakers, for their very simplicity COM
mands confidence and respect, and we
have the further satisfaction of knowing
that they have devoted themselves to the
study of disease and Its cure for moro than
hundred years.
The venerable old man whom the writer
saw was only too glad to discuss his pet
subject. He said that strange rs 1t might
seem, very few doctors realized that three
quarters Of the most prevalent disease
were all attributable to faulty digestion.
He then went on to say that a child of
average intelligence knows that putrid
meat or decaying vegetables are poisonous,
and must be avoided, and yet these same
foods, even If taken into the stomach in
the freshest possible condition soon de-
compose unless digested and absorbed.
In such cases the resulting posons enter
the system, when aches and pains, weak.
ness and debility soon follow as a natural
consequence.
1t was recognition of this that led the
Shakers to devote their energies to the
perfection of product which would
stimulate the digestive organs and assist
them to perform their proper work.
The first symptom of disoriercd diges-
ton is loss of appetite, and the Shaker
Digestive Cordial is wonderfully efficient
in supplying any deficiency in this re.
spGct, at the same time it relieves all dis
tress after eating. Furthermore. as was
carefully explained by our venerable
friend, it is absolutely harmless
Better evidence of the Shakers conf
dence in it could not be found than in
the fact that they have placed 10 cent
sample bottles in the hands OF all druggists
assured that IL once tried it will produce
such immediate and marked benefit that
it will be continued
