SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by CIV
ing tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver and
Kidneys, and aids these organs in throw
ing off impurities in the blood. Electric
Bitters improves the appetite, aids diges-
ton, and is pronounced by those who
have tried it as the very best blood
purifier and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold
for SOC. or $1.00 per bottle at any drug
store.

tor approaches them. They amuse the
people with spectacles of blood.
That the sensibilities of such a peo-
pie should be dulled to human as well
as brute suffering can hardly be quesA
toned. The Dull fight, like the gladi-
atorial fight, cultivates the brutal in
stincts, depreciates the value of human
life, and makes men comparatively
cruel and insensible to misery in 9TH
ers. We may thus turn to contemplate
the atrocious policy of determination
by slow starvation adopted by the
Spanish government in Cuba under the
guise of a war measure with little
wonder. 1t has ,been made tolerable
to the nation through the long SUBJ
lection of the people to the hardening
influences of bull fighting. Such civ
ilization belongs far in the past and
must crumble away.-Springfield Re

BRUTALLY MASSACRED.
Awful Fate Of the American Mission
aries in Africa

London. May 30.-A letter received
here from Sierra Leone, West Coast of
Erica, says that Medina native, who
was with the American missionaries
at ROlOfunk when they were massa-
cred by the insurgents, but who made
his escape by resuming his native
garb, furnishes the following account
of the tragedy:
I'VE started to walk to Sierra Leone,
but had only gone half a mile when
we met war boys, who blocked the
way. Rev. Mr.. Cain tried to brighten
them by firing revolver over their
heads, but seeing they were deter
mined to do mischief, he cast his re-
volver away and said he would not
have anybody's blood on his hands.
The war boys then seized the party,
Misses Hatfield, Archer and Kent
(Schenck), stripped them of their
clothes, dragged them back to the
mission, in front of which the war
boys cut down Mr.. Cain and hacked
him to death and then killed Miss
Murcher and Miss Kent (Schenck) in
the same way. Miss Hatfield, who
was very ill, was thrown on a barbed
wire netting and finally her throat was
cut. Mrs. Cain escaped to the brush
with a native girl, but the war boys
went out seeking for them and they
we're afterwards killed.

A SHOOTING AFFRAY.
Must Stop This Work if You Connect
With Phoenix.

| The Globe Silver Belt details the fol-
lowing account of an affair occurring
in that town Friday evening last The
queerest thing about it, to the average
Phoenician is that handy gun rack
kept by Mr.. McCulloch, evidently for
such emergencies.
The usual quietude of Globe was
| seriously disturbed yesterday evening
by shooting scrape which happened
on lower Broad street. Not wishing
to prejudice the case we will simply
state that the difficulty arose over a
poker game in the Klondyke card
room. Believing he had got the worst
OF 1t Mr.. McCulloch took a sixshooter
from the rack in the corner of the
room, and as it is alleged, leveled it at
Homer Dubois and then at Ed Wells,
both of whom were in the game with
MIN. When McCullOch turned his at
tention to Wells, Dubois got out hur-
riedly and went to his saloon, next
door, where he procured a shot gun
and reappeared on the sidewalk. Nc
Culloch in the meantime had come out
OF the Klondyke, pistol in hand
Who fired the first shot is disputed
and it is not within our province, be-
fore the legal examination, to express
an opinion. McCulloch backed off
and crossed the street diagonally to-
ward Kellner & Co.'S store, and it is
said fired three or four Shots Dubois,
1t is alleged by some witnesses, fired
twice, but others say he fired but once.
McCulloch was hit in the left side, the
shot ranging from above the ear to
below the knee. There were thirty
five or forty men on the sidewalk at
the time and it was almost a miracle
that some one was not hit by bullets
from McCulloch's pistol.
McCulloch was taken to Dr. Clay
POOLS office and an examination
showed that his wounds were not seri-
GUS. Charges were preferred against
both men and they were released on
$500 bonds each. Mr. BuBois' hearing
was set for this afternoon at o'clock
at which hour the case was called and
continued till Saturday at 10 o'clock
McCulloch's hearing is set for the
same day.

Philip Hull. an Arizona pioneer who

ritory grow from wilderness to

health for some time, and when last
Sunday he became worse DR.. Melick

was in the 40 gold rush to California.
He crossed the plains twice before he
finaliy settled in Prescott, in 1875. He

MISSTATEMENTS.
Showing How Easy II Is for IRE
SponSibiIify TO AIiege Things.

Another of Tom Farish's walls is
made through the Courier. 1t is
mostly of a satirical nature, but when
Thomas ventures 20 make an asser
ton it lacks the very important ele-
ment of truth. For instance in
speaking of Governor McCord. he
says:
LAS the autocrat of the territory,
he has fastened upon the people a
debt under which the taxpayers must
bleed for years to come. Assuming to
protect the public credit, he has well
nigh destroyed it. AS far as he is
able he has leealized every raid upon
the public treasury"
AS Mr. Parish seems to have his pen
loaded at all times, will he state what
debt it is that Governor McCordefast-
ened upon the territory? Will he also
give the quotations of territorial war;
rants when Governor McCord went
into Office and the price at the present
time. and see if in doing so he does
not convict himself of deliberate: ma
licious classifying in his statement that
the public credit is we'll nigh destroy
ed? The governor is not legalizing
officer Parish knows this. He knows
that the acts of the executive are sub
ject to review by the judiciary, that
the governor possesses no authority to
legalize anything, but then Parish is
no respecter of truth if false asser-
ton will suit his purpose better.
In the entire article of almost col
umn Mr.. Parish fails to make one spe-
cific, truthful charge against the gov
ernor, whom he assails Throughout

Bull Fighters Come Near to Being the

A nation, therefore, whose great

most famous of these, earned 1896, 900
pesetas last year, it is said, or over
$4,000. He participated in sixty-six
fights and killed 1913 bulls. Another
popular torero, Reverte, took part in
seventy-one fights during the year,
killed $50 bulls and earned 276,OOO pc

The Goth day of May has by national
and territorial legislation been set apart
public holiday, and consecrated to
the memory of the dead soldiers of the

lives that the Union might live.
The ranks of the once great volunteer

deeds of valor, heroism and self-sacrifice.
Now, therefore, l, Myron H. McCord.

that day and join the surviving members

with which our people are so generously
inspired.
