republican caucus will be called to
take action on the Cuban belligerency
resolution of Senator Morgan. The
white house is alarmed at this congress
sional phase of the situation. A caucus
call will easily receive thirty five sigma
lures. The result OF caucus is q
foregone conclusion as belligerency
would be endorsed by a. four to one
vote.

Back from the Grave

We cannot come, but we can often stay our progress thItheir. Disease like everything else, must have be- ginning. All chronic malsdies tend to shorten ]iie, and render it species of martyrdom while they last. Ma laria, kidney complaint, chronic in digestion, rheumatism-alI have small beginnings, and may be stayed at the outset with Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters. This excellent tonic amt altera tive Is adapted alike to the prevention of disorders of the system and to their removal, and its early use cannot be too strongly advocated. To renew appetite and insure tranquil rest, there is no snrer and pleasanter means than the Bitters. The effects of overwork and exhaustion, mental or physical, are cOunteracted by it, and the busy merchant, the tired clerk or operative and the brain weary student, author or newspaper man, derive from il present reliet and future energy.

MURDERED FOR MONEY.
John Pratt Assassinated Whfle He Slept,

At Gila Bend last Monday night some unknown man or men butally butchered John Pratt, the druggist, in his bed. He was sleeping on the porch of his drug store, and sometime during the night the assassin beat him over the head with heavy iron bar and then stabbed him several times in the throat and breast with g knife. He was found early the next morning in dying condition by friends who did all they could for him, but he never regained consciousness and died few hours later.
 The murder had been committed purely for plunder, as Pratt had not known enemy i'll the world. The store had been ransacked and every thing of value carried of. It IS not known how much money the mur- derer secured, however it is thought to be 8 small amount. A silver watch was taken out of MT Pratt's pocket but as no one could identify it the chances of catching the assassin are very slim, as there is no clue to his identity whatever. Upon the dis covery of the deed Sheriff Orme was immediately notified and was soon upon the seen with 8 mounted posse of deputies. Indian trailer were sent out cutting for trail, but none could be found, and the only theory left was that tramp had committed the decd and boarded 8 passing train. As there had been no train east after the mur- der the only field left was between Gila Bend and Yuma. Sheriff Orms came on to Yuma Wednesday noon, leaving his men stationed along the line of the railroad at Blaisdell, Mo hawk and Texas Hill. Every sus- picious character between here and the scene of the murder was arrested and searched, but no evidence of the crime was found on the person of any of them. A number of men were also arrested here, only to be turned loose again after being searched. The hunt was kept up necessarily until yester. day, when Sheriff Creme became dis couraged and left for home.
