Arizona Horses.

Mir. Beillups, of near Pheuix is preparing to ship a carload of fue horses to Madill, Mo. in a few days. These horses are a product of the wonderful Salt River valley and will be shipped in a fine stalled car a dis tance of over 1,600 miles. The fac, that this can be done at a profit will be conclusive evidence that Arizona Is fast coming to the front in the es- timation of those in the east who desire fine stock, and will be the means of bringing not only large sums of money into the territory for the purchase of these fine horses, but will bring many fine turf horses to the valley where they can pasture during the winter months in the vast fields of green alfalfa and not suffer from the effects of the long cold months which are SO injurious to turf and fine horses in the north and east.
 When these facts become known and appreciated in the east, Arizo- mas fine stock will be ir great de mand and her alfalfa fields filled with as fine stock as ever the sun shone upon, for certainly nowhere on earth are the natural advantage greater for the production of fine. bloOded stock of all kinds.

A Missing Rough Rider.

There is one member of the Rough Rider contingent from Ari- zona that is missing and his where abouts at this time are unknown. That is Bob Brow's mountain lion, which was given to the boys as a mascot and which was taken by them through the campaign in Cuba. He escaped without a scratch and without any attack of malaria. MT. Brow was advised by telegram September 22, that the lion would be shipped in the car with the of ficers' horses and he has been on the lookout for the arrival of that car for several days. It came yester- day but there was no lion in sight. A colored man named Johnson was in sole charge of the animals when they arrived here. He stated that a man named Sexsmith had been en- trusted with the care of the animals on their journey and he came to Chicago with them. At the latter place Se1smith disappeared and Johnson says he did not see the mountain lion after SexsmIth left, The presumption is that the latter disposed of the animal. Numerous offers had been made for it In New York but Mr. Brow insisted on its return. He telegraphed last night to try and locate the animal as he is determined to have him at any cost almost,

CUBAN lDYLL.

A CUBAN lOIlC. 4 Soldier lay ill in Siboney. Sibouey is a tiny Cuban port Santiago calls it health resort. It is, as places in Cuba go, For the sea rolls in and the breezes
 blow. But Oh! the diseases indigenous
 there, Where deadly miasmas fill the air; Where typhus, diptheria, poisons
 systemic, Oedema malignant are always ende-
 mic. Where "Agues taint," the lines of
 Shakespeare run, "When seated Idly even in the sun." Where cholera grips ln September's And Dengue racks your bones with
 pains; Or worse and worse you're suddenly
 taken With something that sets your
 frame a shakin'. Your temperature's up, your pulse
 is down, Your stomach's disordered, your
 skin is brown. Bang goes your head, you're of your
 trolley. You forget your name-it may be
 Waffle Or any other dam fool fellow That went down there to get the yellow Fever and set the Cuban free From bloody Spanish tyrannee. But as l was saying, lay soldier sick; He'd hit the Spaniards many a lick. But starved-the Cubans had eaten
 his pack; Naked-they'd stolen the clothes
 of his back; Been thirsty-asleep, they'd cribbed
 his canteeu; Such general wreck had never
 been seen. Lost was all but honor, as the Span
 ish say, And his bones, he had them, as he
 lay Half dead and thought of the far of
 time When Cuba Libre" had been the
 chime Which church bells played, and
 ''The Journal" as we'll; And his manly soul took up the yell That the noble Cuban must be
 free" As I have sad before. from tyran-
 nee." So of he sailed on transport smel
 ly, And fed on stuff that ruined his bel
 ly. But all was forgot when with
 his band He first set foot on Cuban land or sunshine, summer, wretched Da-
 goes, Tobacco. Plaiutains, Concentradoes. A Christian purpose sustained his
 steps, His being was stirred to its very
 depths, He knew he was right and the Span
 iards-well They were only fit for trip to - And so the poor fellow fought and
 bled And all but his bones, as said, he'd
 shed. But now as he lay on his marrow cot And thought of bis weary, sicken-
 ing lot; Of what a damuable fool he'd been, Of the noble Cuban he hadn't seen, or the towards and knaves he'd
 wildly sought As allies and friends-Oh! sickening
 thought; Of Garcia's army, beggars wary, Who fought and died in the com
 missary; Of their cowardly quitting when
 they saw A stronger man lay dow the law That ended their soldiers chance to
 loot; Twas only bluff, their trying to
 shoot. And across his mind the whole pro cession Of Cuban horrors in rapid progres-
 sion, The blistering sun. the morning
 cold, The poisonous water, the vermin
 untold, The deadly fsvers by thousands there To which the human flesh is heir. So hour by hour he thunk aud thunk, Till wildly raising himself on his
 bunk, "It's a poor consolation" loud yell
