; E CONFIDENCE ARTIST
Now in Tucson Awaiting His Return
 flo phoenlx.

The next time Richard Martin,
 late of Michigan, accepts the services
 of valet he will do so only after a careful. examination of his references.
 MT. Martin was on his way to Phoenix. Somewhere along the line of the
 Santa Fe Pacific he met a man who said his name was Charles Lewis who acted as if he owned controlling in- terest in the road. He travelled in cabs and pretty much where else he pleased by virtue of a card showing that he was a railroad engineer. Mr. Lewis was also coming to Phoenix. This circumstance, as we'll as the high standing Lewis seemed to enjoy won Mir. Martins confidence. Before they reached Phoenix their intimacy had grown to such a degree that they de- cided to lodge together. Martin want ed to stop over at Prescott one day and Lewis was coming straight through. Martin had three pieces Of luggage checked to Phoenix. Lewis accommodatingly offered to take the checks and have the luggage removed to room which he was going to rent on his arrival in Phoenix. He got here on Tuesday night, and Martin the following night He could not find Lewis, but learned the next morn ling that his baggage had been removed the day before from the S. F. P. & P. ] depot. He continued his investiga-
 tion, tracing it's delivery to the M & P. depot for shipment elsewhere Then
 he applied to the sheriff's office He
 was advised to swear out a warrant i for the arrest of Lewis. Deputy Sher:
 if Boyd ascertained by telegraphine
 that the baggage had been checked from Maricopa to Tucson. A telegram
 was sent to the sheriff's office at Tue
 son giving the numbers of the baggage
 checks and the name of Lewis. A re.
 ply was received yesterday saying that the baggage had been secured in the possession of a man who denied that bis name was Lewis. A description
 of the man wanted was asked for. Il was forwarded and a reply was re. ceived in the afternoon that the mar
 under arrest there was undoubtedly the person wanted whatever his name
 might be. Deputy Sheriff Henry lGeofge went after him last night.

COLONIES OWNED BY EUROPE.

Eight nations of Europe possess col onies greater than themselves in ex- tent of territory ana four of them Great Britain, France, Holland and Portugal-have more inhabitants in their outlying possessions than they have at home. As a colonizer, of course. England stands easily first, both for acquired land and for it's pop ulation. Her little fragment of Flu rope contains less than 121 ,00O square miles and lodges only 40,000,0O0 people, but she governs besides almost IT ,0OO,- 900 square miles of good dry land-no- body could figure out how much wa ter she controls-and makes laws for 322, ,0C0, ,0O0 parsons. Not quite all of these millions like the laws, but that's chiefly because the natural man is apt rot to know when he is we'll off.
 l France, too has done very well, at least as regards the extent of her colo nies and the number of her inhabi- tants. To ner own 204,000 square miles and S8,s00000 citizens, she has added 2,5O5,O00 square miles and A. 100000 not too contented subjects Germany, slightly larger and consider ably more populous than France, has colonies. that, including kiau-Chou, aggregate only 1.615,006 square miles, and the 7,510.000 people who live iii them suffer a good deal from loneli . ness, as well as from several other
 things, especially red tape an lieu l tenants. Little Portugal h,lds a pre- carious title .o S09,Of'O square miles of
 alien land and indastriously teacnes official corruption and industrial in-
 competency 10 more tEan 100000 900
 harbarians.
 Holland h;s joined 783,000 square miles to her own 12,000. and has nc trouble to speak of in administering
 the affairs-and property-of more
 than 34 100000 thin,y clad orientals.
 The colonial possessions of dear old
 Spain have decreased to poor 17,500,- 600 square miles and her pleasant rule
 is enjoyed by nearly 10.O00,000 people. 1 The sway of Italy extends over 240, ,000
 square miles of territory besides her
 own 1000. tut her colonies have only )195. .0O0 people in them. Last comes

REPUBLICAN, pRInARIrs.
Delegates 10 the County Convention
 10 Be Chosen Today.

The republican primaries for the election of delegates to the county convention will be held throughout the county today The city primaries will be held at the following places from 12 o'clock m to 2 p. m: First ward, No IS North First street; Sec ond ward, O'Neill building; Third ward. Justice Johnstone's office, Wall street; Fourth ward, city hall.
 The caucus candidates are:
 First ward-John Gray, I. M. Chris ty, M. J. Galpln, Thomas J. Pres colt E. w. Potter, A. J. Stoner, Pedro B. Salazar, E. H. Mowre, J. c. Adams.

 The primaries are likely to be tame and it is generally believed that tho choice of the caucuses will be elected
 1t was currently reported yesterday afternoon and last night that ticket: in opposition to the regular Second and Fourth ward tickets would be pre- sented at the primaries today. A ma jority of the republicans of those wards say they hope that this is no t-ue for the reason that the tickets al they now stand represent the wishes O those wards. The tickets. they point ed out, were nominated at meeting regularly called and of which due no tice had been given. The men nomi mated, though they might not hav' been the choice of every republican who attended the caucuses, were cer tainly the choice of a majority of them It is the sense of even many of tn republicans who did not then suppor those tickets that the decision of tn caucus ought to be considered final That the nominees are representativ and respectable republicans has beel denied by no one.

THAT COW IS DEAD.
Normal Conditions Have Been Re.
 stored in Brill Addition.

There is likely to be an immense ad- vance in prices per front foot of prop erty in Brills addition. That COW, the scourge of that community, is dead. Yesterday morning she succumbed tc the unknown ma1ady which impelled her to tree" honest citizens and ter rorize their families so that only the boldest dared venture from their houses. What was the matter with the COW will never be known There Is one theory that it was hydrophobia, another that it was insanity, and stil; another that she was merely possessed of the devil. Even her ownership could never be definitely fixed. Her headquarters were in the Norton and Fulweiler's pasture. MT. Norton would never admit his proprietorship but said 1t would not be safe for any body else to claim her.
 The effect of her proximity had a curious and unusual effect on Brill ad- dition real estate. Corner lots are generally more valuable than those ir the middle of the block. But out there corner lots grew to be less de. sirable because they furnished a greater AAAS Oi uOiCAoO d6dlASI dtSSdulLS Dy LQe COW. For the same reason a f1fty-foot front grew to be more valuable thar twenty-fve-foot lot, and if the COW had lived much longer a no-foot To would have sold for just as much as block. But the death of the COW ha. restored normal conditions. Corne] lots again occupy their proper place in the market, and so many front fee are again worth twice as much as hal the same frontage
 Residents go to led at night with reasonable assurance that thei awakening eyes will not rest upol a scene of desolatlon and an angry GOV chasing residents around their houses It was appropriate that the COW shoul, die at this time when Nicholas is try ing to establish peace throughout tn world. The problem before the czar wa greatly simplified when that Brill addition COW was found stark and stii in death yesterday morning.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE World prints
the following special cable from Paris
giving an interview with Senior Abarzuza,
a member Of the Spanish Peace Commits
sioners:
HAS America demanded the whole
PHILIPPINE group?" was asked.
'-She has not so far" replied Senior
Abarzuza, 'and will / tn, be content
with the Ladrones or part of them, per-
haps with Guam, which she has already
taken However, as TO that l give only
my impression"
mas not the United States displayed
great magnanimity in not demanding in

Cuba is indemnity according to our
view. The Commissioners Will not have
TO consider any question of money in

lis there no claim for the Maine?'
THAT does not fall within the scope of
the Commissions"
lis il true that serious hitch has
arisen between the commissions and that
a break in negotiations may occur?
This rumor is ridiculous eXaggera-
tion. No hitch has arisen
ION what ground can Spain ask Ameri-
ca TO assume the Cuban deht?"
cuba is the key 10 the Gulf OF Mexico.
and has long been necessary to the
United States For that reason alone she
might take upon herself the Cuban debt.
When the United States gets CUBA she

terest from TO per cent.
you imply that Spanish relinquish-
ment of sovereignty means American
/ annexation. not Cuban independence?'
Certainly. Our REIMBURSEMENT means
the transfer of sovereignty To America
with all its rights, therefore also It's
obligations.
/ Does that apply equally to the Phil
/ ippines and their debt?'
NO That case is absolutely opposite.
/ America would be extremely unwise To
start a policy of colonial expansion
Taking the Philippines would mean a
/ colonial army, a colonial civil service
! and more ships.
4 But the American people have fully
/ counted the cost.
..Tbey cannot have done so, because

United States were seeking 10 OBTAIN

Spain is said to be willing TO surrender

own way.
Any honest physician will tell you that
there is but one way to get increased
flesh; all the patent medicines and cod
liver oils to the contrary notwithStand-
ing.
Nature has but one way to increase
flesh, strength and yigor, mind and body,
and that is through the stomach, by
wholesome food, well digested. There is
no reason or common sense in other
method whatever
People are thin, run down, nervous,
pale. and shaky in their nerves simply
because their stomachs are weak.
They may not think they have dyspep-
sia. but the fact remains that they do
not eat enough food, or what they eat is
not quickly and properly digested, as it
should be.
DR. Harlandson says the reason is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptones, and deficient secre-
tion of gastric juice.
Natures remedy in such cases is to
supply what the weak stomach lacks.
There are several good preparations
which will do this, but none so readily as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which are de-
signed especially for all stomach trou-
bles, and which cure all digestive
weakness on the common sense plan
of furnishing the digestive principles
which the stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect
digestion First effect is to increase the
appetite and increased vigor, added flesh,
pure blood and strength of nerve and
muscle is the perfectly natural result.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
tonic known and will cure any form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach. May be found at druggists at
80 cents for full-siZed package or direct
by mail from Stuart Co, Marshall, Mich.

In few days there will be placed on eX-

the Navy an interesting. but pathetic, relic
of the war with Spain. 1t is the capstau
of the battleship Maine. which was re-
moved from the wreck of that vessel
in Havana Harbor and sent 10 this city.
The capstan is now at the Washington
navy yard. where il is being handsomely
mounted. 1t bears the inscription:
II. S S. Maine. Destroyed in Havana
Harbor February To- 1885
After being exhibited in the Navy De-
partment for several days the capstan will
be presented to the State of Maine to be
placed permanently in the State capitol.

a.We tried leaving off coffee, but for a
morning or two the breakfast was not
tempting.
Then Postum Food Coffee was brought
to my notice. and, unfortunately, the first
morning il was carelessly made by the
cook and was not at all satisfactory. I
determined to look personally after its
preparation, and, after noticing that the
directions called for fun fifteen minutes
boiling, after boiling had really COM
menced, | made it that way. and these
were some of the eXclamations at the
breakfast: why, its far better than cof-
feer What an exquisite flavor!' De
licious,' Delightful etc.
THE effect of the change on my health
was magical. The headaches and nerv-
business were gone. and in their place a
peculiar and grateful exhilaration pos
sessed the entire body. l was not the
only member of the family that was ben
Gifted by the change. One member who
had suffered seriously with stomach trou-
bic was relieved entirely in very short
time.
perhaps you might be interested to
know that there are several of our
friends who have been greatly helped by
the use of Postum. Mrs. Emma Max
used to be greatly troubled with nausea
and sick headaches; Miss Adde Slight
was cured of stomach trouble; Charles
Everson formerly suffered greatly with
headaches and nervousness: Miss Eliza
Smith was a great sufferer from severe
bilious attacks. All of these persons have
been relieved of their difficulties and put
in a fine condition of health by abandon
ing coffee (Which evidently was a poison
to each of them) and using the Postum
Food Coffee.
81 am convinced that your claim that
Postum furnishes the particles of phos-
phate of potash and albumen necessary
10 rebuild the delicate matter in the
nerve centers is true. for my own ex-
perience and that of my family and
