A general marking down in prices will commence Nov. l. Call in and get full value for your money. Don't pay any more war prices.

The Future of Our Great County.
ICommunicated.l

A shrewd observer, in travelling through our valley the last few days, says: ''I saw scenes there equal to the San Joaquin of California, immense acreage of land being put into wheat and barley, and from appearances it seemed to be country of vast possi- bilities, Water seemed plentiful and the soil mellow and rich. I pictured a broad avenue from Florence to Casa Grande, on the Southern Pacific, hedged with great shade trees on either side and an electric car plying between the two points, whilst numerous cot tage homes and prosperous farms would extend on both sides for miles around"
 To the skeptic' this would seem inn possible, but to the travelled man, who has seen the great transformation in the Uaited States when greater diff eulties had to be encountered this would be both practicable and tangible.
 Along wiah these cheering words cones news of tlie negotiations.fo for the Lake Shore copper group of mines in this county, an extensively developed and most meritorious copper property owned by Mir. George Aitehison, the well known Scotchman of Southern Pinal county. The Vckol mine re- ceivcd also some 60,0o0. pounds of new machinery to put up for their own and local custom work, and thus Pinal county Has made firm friends with mining and agriculture, and the Gila river is booming and the canal is full to high water mark and the farmers and miners are lowing and smiling as Old Man Prosperity, with smiles and outstretched hands, is advancing to meet them.

Less than six hundred votes were ca,

Less than six hundred votes were cast at the city election in Tucson Monday W. l. Perry had no opposition what ever and Messrs. Kilt and Pusch were elected by a majority of about two to one. The majority of the former was 94 and of the latter 142. A number of votes cast for De Groff were thrown out on account of Irregularities, but these ballots would not have changed the result. The result of the election is evidently a strong expression of sen- timent on the part of our citizens as re gards the introduction of party politics in municipal affairs.-[ Tucson Star.

Ruins of an Unknown City Many Gen.

The ruins of an ancient city many cen- turies old, inhabited by race whose name and origin has no record in the annals of history, has been discovered in Guatemala The shape of the drinking and cooking utensils found in the structures composing what was once evidently the residentportion of the city, and the chaliees and other sacred vessels in the temples and fanes. are entirely devoid of the characteristics of Aztec and Toltec antiquity. But, however, they may vary in these particulars from other ancient articles, they bear general resemblance to the effects of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters inasmueh as they have well served the pur- pose for which they were made The in- effectiveness of the ancient gripping remedies of the pharmacopoeia for constipation. for example, as contrasted with the thorough, painless action of the Bitters Is very marked.

CHASED BY INDIANS.
Five Redskins Chase Three Cowboys in
 Graham County.

The Graham Bulletin prints the fol- lowing relative to Indian troubles in Graham county:
 Deputy Sheriff Ben Clark, who was here last Tuesday, brought the report from Sheldon that on Monday band of five Indians had run three cowboys into the ranch at that place, which is owned and operated by Jim Parks.
 Ii seems that on Monday a cowboy from the c. A. Bar ranch at Coronado and two men from MT. Parks ranch were in the vicinity of the San Jose tanks. about fourteen miles east of Solomonville, when about o'clock in the afternoon they sighted band of five Indians coming over hill about B quarter of a mile distant. They inn mediately turned their horses toward the, home ranch, about twelve miles distant. The Indians pursued and then began race for life across the mesa. The cowboys horses were the best and quickly put a safe distance between themselves and the Indians. The eowboys reached the ranch after dark and reported the matter to Mr. Parks, who informed Deputy Sheriff Clark, who came down on the train from Clifton the next morning.
 Tuesday afternoons horse which had been taken to Whitloek Cienega by Johnny Parks, returned to the ranch just above town without any rider, and feeling somewhat uneasy, a posse com posed of Ar. Chesser, Will Parks and Harry McCurdy, left town Wednesday morning for Whitleck to ascertain if everything was all right at that place. Up to the time of going to press they had not. yet returned. No uneasiness is felt here as to Mr. John Parks, as the horse, if turned loose, would nat urally return to the home ranch at this place.

The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-05-15
Gnnrre WASHINGTON.

The dedication in Philadelphia today
of a costly monument reared by the
Society of the Cincinnati to the men,
ory of George Washington once more
directs attention to the first great
figure in our national history
Of.eulogles of Washington there have
been enough; his fame does not need
them, and they sometimes becloud the
truth. That contemplation of him
which is most profitable views simply
a man who, with faults common to the
race carried into each crisis as 1t
arose in the trying environment in
which destiny placed him, the strong
will, the unshakable purpose, and the
intleXible conscience which, added to
large ability in the management of men
and serene confidence in the shaping
of affairs. brought about results ac-
cording to his purposes, and wrought
on enduring foundations the structure
OF a nation.
The merit for us in a commemoration
of Washington lies in the new patience
which it inspires under conditions filled
with difficulty; in the zeal which it
renews for the principles that his work
confirmed; and above all, in the clear
faith in right which his precepts
taught and his conduct eXemplified.
