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 June p, 1897:
 Unusual y low temperatures for this season of the year have prevailed throughout the terri tory during the past week. Ice frrmed one fourth to half an inch thick and garden truck suffere1 seriously in parts of Coconino county The freezing point was reached and h avy frost was deposited ii Yavapai county with similar results. Dama.ing frO,tS also occur ed in Apa- che, h and Nav jo counties. Corn, beans, melon vines and gardens were nirped, ana in the aggregate conside able loss was sustained In other localities the only bad effects of the cold spell were to slightly retard he growth f unmatured garden and field crops, and the ri peniug of fruit
 At Phoenix, the highest temperature of the season of 1896 was 1l5 degrees, and occurred on the 18th and 10th of June On he same dates of this year the maximum temperatures were 90 and s7 respe lively.
 No rain fell in the territory during the week. But as is well known to residents of the terri tory, and as has been before stated in these bull letns, the lack of rain in the valleys from April to June, inclu i've, cut no figure, practically, with the agriculturists and orchardists. During the months named the supply of moisture nec- ess0ry 70 successfully cultivate the soil comes from the water lef in the ground from the win ter rains and that obtained from the Irigating canals. Water in the rivers and canals is yet fairly plentiful and but little complaint has been heard Gn the ranges. the grass is dry, water is scarce, and stock. although yet in good condi- ton, is barely holding it's own.

 What sort of information makes a man "well-informed"? According to The Century it is the general know. ledge which gives interest to the con- versation of a man of the world or woman of the world" The Century competition is apparently an oppor- tunity for people to find out how much of this sort of knowledge they have, or how much they can acquire in a cer tain time. The idea is original enough and first prize $500 ought to develop agood deal of activity among the quick witted brothers and sisters.

On last Tuesday, Dr. S. NJ. Craig, as- sisted by pr. W. E.. Platt, performed an operation for Nosifor Garcia. MT. Gar cia was born with five fingers on each hand, while the common run of human lty is forced to struggle along with but four. AS the extra finger on his left hand was connected with only carti- lege, at his birth the midwife ampu- tated it with pair of scissors, leaving the one on his right hand. This extra little finger having grown at nearly a right angle from the normal position, had become very much Tn hlsroad. and the only remedy was amputation of the offending digit. The operation was successfully performed, and MT Gar cla's recovery will be rapid.

Eaton. Mr Agard found everything straight. and promptly settled with Mir. Eaton for the loss he had sustained. MT. Eaton had made the application for insurance but few days before the fire, the policy itself not having been received at the time of the loss. In this instance the old reliable Hartford sustained it's rep utation for promptly paying it's losses. J. T. Lesueur IS the local agent for this county.

Indigestion is often taken for con- sumption. The word consumption means wasting away, and dyspeptics often waste away, as badly as consump- tives.
 The reason people waste away is be- cause either they don't get enough to eat, or they don't digest what they do eat.
 If the latter is your trouble, take Shaker Digestive Cordial. This will help you to digest your food and stop your loss of flesh.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from herbs. barks and the juices of fruit, by the well-known Shakers at Mount Lebanon. It possesses great tonic and digestive powers.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured many supposed consumptives (who were really dyspeptics), by simply helping their stomachs to digest their food, thus giving them nourishment and new strength.
 Sold by druggists. Trial bottles 10 cents.

They do not grippe of pain, and they do not weaken the body. On the contrary, they have a strengthening and stim- ulating effect. They rouse the liver, prevent sickness and cure sick head ache. Hoods Pills are purely vege- table, perfectly harmless and may be used safely by delicate women and children.

PARKER AND MILLER.
The Two Train Robbers and
 Murderers Sentenced.

The Prescott Journal Miner, of June 25, has the following of the final pro- ceedings in court in regard to Parker and Miller. The court granted counsel for Parker thirty days in which to per- feet an appeal. The final disposition, so far as the trial court is concerned, is as follows:
 Parker and Miller were in court again this morning this time to receive the sentence of the court for one of the most atrocious crimes committed in this county for years the murder of Lee Norris
 These criminals, and particularly the fo rmer never ia l to draw a crow to the court room at every appear. nce and, as usual, the room was crowded this morning.
 Parker was first called on to stand up for sen tence. He kept his eyes riveted on the judge during the reading of the sentence, never show ing the least s'gn of nervousness r emotion He WAS sentenced to be hanged on Friday, Au- gust 13
 Miller'S sentence, in accordance with the VI T. dict of the jury, was Imprisonment for life in territorial pt nitentiary. The general sentiment in the community is that Miller as richly de- serves the death penalty as Parker, although the latter fired the shot that snapped the co.d of life in Norris body, The judge evidently entertained the same opinion, aS after the fer nal announcement of sentence he ssid And in your case, Miller desire to further say that it is to be hoped that Arizona may never be cursed with a chief executive who will sh you any clemency"
 After sentence was pronounced the prs nors were taken to jail and a death watch was iume diately placed over rarker, and will remain un- til after his execution, unless an appeal is taken to the supreme court. " he men selected for this are Jeff Davis and Miles Archibald
 Immediately after the sentencing of the above the case of Richard Cross, who shot and killed Byron nes at Jerome, was called and jury empannelled to try the case. A recess was ta- ken until 80 p. m., and at the converting of court Cross withdrew his plea of not guilty and entered plea of guilty of manslaughter. and sentence was set for tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock.
 The crime committed by Cross WAS as Gtro ciou> even as that of Parker, he lay i'll wait for his vict m, pistol ill hand ready to shoot him down on his appearance AS the crime was committed prior to the passage of the celebrated Norton act of the last legislature, a conviction coul not be had for greater crime than man slaughter, to which he plead guilty.
