MOQUI SN AXE DANCE.
Live Rattlers Take Part in the
 GruesoMe Ceremony.

From 6 long account of tue Noqui Indian snake dance in the Prescott Courier we take the following ex- cerpts:
 "The dance occurred ia a space not mere than lsr40 feet, near tAs end ei which spsss rises the sacrsd rock 10 height of ten feet. The chief of tue snake men brought 0u, q bag contain ing 125 live spskes, mostly ra,tleTs. The men lined up aud commenced 6 solemn chant. They made good ini- tstion of thunder and falling rain. Their appeals were ts the Deity fer Ssod crops. rain and prosperity. Then the snake men marched around, and each knslt and grabbed iate the pile of live snakes, which thsy put ints their msuths. If they got a large snake they took enly one, but fl small ones, tive or three. They would then dance around ts music with the snakes twisting about thsir persons, and finally, by a jerk of the arm, throw the snakes into the center ei the circle. The 'Antslops' man walked around with his prayer siiss, which he used to attract the attsn,isn of the snakes and prevent their biting the dancers. The snakes were frequently noticed to coil and strike.
 After the dance had beeu ia pro- gr'ss twenty minutes the snakes had all been thrown into the center of ths circle, when twsnty-ieur koqui women advanced and threw fsur ersr the writhing, hissing nsss el reptiles. Then the chief of the snake dance darted forward, grabbed his hands full of snakes and ran eastwa:dly tor the valley; the other snsks men grabbed snakes also and rau for the different points oi the compass. each carrying sll the snakes he could hanils, and laying them down gently in tho val leys below. Having deposited the snskes the men returned as fsst as they could run to the naesa, where they were met by Mequi women win bowls of em, tics, which ths snake men hurriedly drank, and many of them rsn their fingers down their throats to hasten the action of the emesics.
 During the dance three snake men were bitten by rat,lcrs with Ro appar ent serious dsmsge. One sf the m.n was bitten 10 the nose and kled freely. It took the combined efforts oi tss victim and two ether snake men to remove the snake-a large rattlsr- rom the man's body. The snake had wrapped around the msn's arm and held the end of the mans nose be- tween its jaws"

them if the stomach can be induced by amy natural, harmless way to thorough ly digest what is eaten, and this can be done by simple remedy which I have tested in hundreds of aggravated eases with complete success. The remedy is a combination of fruit and vegetable es- sencss, pure aseptic pepsin and golden seal put up in the form of pleasant tast- ing tablets and sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. One or two of these tablets should be taken after meals and allowed to dis solve in the mouth and mingling with the food in the stomach digests it com pletely before it has time to ferment, decay and sour.
 On actual experims mt one grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest three thousand grains of meat, eggs and similar wholesome foods.
 It is safe to say if this wholesome rem edy was better known by people gen. orally, it would be national blessing, as we are nation of dyspeptics and nine-tenths of all diseases owe their ori- gin to imperfect digestion and nutri- tion.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are not a secret patent medicine, but 50 cent package will do more real good for a weak stomach than $50 worth of patent medicines and a person has the satisfac- tion of knowing just what he Is putting into his stomach, which he does not know, when widely advertised patent medicines are used.

HE KNEW GUE0ENSUPPE
SAYS BALMES, WHO WAS EMPLOYED
 IN NEW YORK.
Worked With Him and When Excitement Ran High Was suspicioned in Com
 nection With the Affair

Prof. Fred BalmeS, manager of Turk isl1 ba tin establishment of this city, was a much sought after man when the de- tective bureau of dlhe city of New York ferretted out the murder of William Gull densuppe, for which Martin Thorn is now being tried In ,Elat city. Prof. Balmss was employed about two years ago as medical electrician at the Murray Hill baths in New York city, at which time Guqdensuppe was employed as a rubber in the same estaiblistlms nt
 Martin Thorn was also known as Fred Braun, and when suspicion rested upon him, inquiry was made at llhe Murray Hill baths for Fred. The similarity of the names, Fred Balmes and Fred Braun, was conflicting to tine employees of the baths, who gave the information that Fred had gone south some months b fore. Of counse, t was Thought that this was the Fred wanted.
 Several New York papers came out in articles under captions, Where Is Fr d Balmes?" About dlhss time the identity of Thorn was discovered and he was placed under arrest. Prof. Balmes at once communicated with Ca.Jl.. stephen O'Bmen of the detective bureau and was relieved from all suspicion in the matter.
 Prof Ba1mes now reads the accounts of the trial in The Age4Herald with much jniserest.
 sI knew Guildsnsuppe quite well" said Pro-. Balmes "I was employed wTSh him at the Murray HIM baths. He w. s once a sailor, and was an expert net maker, and olsten made nets fo. the boys to go fishing.
 
 "He was very industrious, and had a great desire to accumulate money. have heard him speak of Mrs. Mack, but did not know her. The eatco marks on the breast of GulldensuFpe, which aided in identifying his body, are familiar to me, $ I had seen him at hiIs work as rubber. He was a pretty strong thinker.
 "A psculiarity of hs drinking was that he would first order whisky and wash 1t down with schooner of beer. He was ford of jokes and was always trying to play them on the boys. I remember once one of the rutfoers was resting on a couch and fell aslsep. Gulldensuppe poured aacealol on his back and set a-fire. The man was fear'fully enraged and gave Gulldensuppe a sound tn ashiag, which put an end to his joking. saw him uw 0 days before I left New York"

BASE BALL.
BUSINESS LAID ASIDE
And the Magnates Made Day and Night of It.

Philadelphia, Nov. 11.--Thsre was no meeting of the National Base Ball league today, and the transfer Of Grady and Hartman of St. Louis to New York, and Holmes and Donnelly from the latter club to St. Lou.s was the only deal that went through. A number of other deals are on tap. IL is quite probable that Second Basemaa Haltnan of St. Louis will go to Brooklyn, and there is also a likelihood of First Baseman Doyle of Baltimore wearing a Brooklyn uniform next season. 1t is hinted that Fhtfadsl- phia also has line out for Doyle.
 The visiting magnates and newspaper correspondents spe.it the day in discuss ing lne various proposed trades. and to- night they were entertained alt the Wal nut Strs ct theater. After the theatsr the visitors were taken in charge by the local newspaper men.3 The party was escorted to the Pen and Pencil club and there eateatain=d with one of the clubs famous Nights in Bohemia.n Many prominent in tine theatrical profession had been invited to the club to mezt the base ball men. The gathering was a notably congenial one, and the Bo- hemia night was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

THE THINGS MEN EAT.

Ones mind depends in great meas ure on one's food. Primitive man, With his large digestive organs, small brain and parliamentary soul, desired fresh killed game, which he a te without fia- vorings, sauces or condiments. Potatoes and fine fruits and vegetables were un- known. AS he migrated he began to de- pend on the products of the soil more and more. Ancient Egypt, during her period of highst civiliza ton. subsisted on millet, dates. fruits and cereals. Athletic Greece achieved her greatest culture on two meals a day, consis ting of maize and vegetables steeped in oil. The decline of a nation commences when
 gormandizing begins. Rome's collapse was we'll under way when slaves were thrown into the eel pits to increase the
 gamy flavor of the eels when they came upon the table.
 Of pugnncious ard warliloe nations one may pr, dfcate a freshly laden table &C., companied by the wassaIil bowl in some one of its manifestations. The Teutonic type of soul prefers the alcoholism of hops, while the Latin races have iden- tified themselves with the juice of the
 grape.
