The Graham Guardian says: 18th

The Graham Guardian says: "The
proposed reservoir to be built on the
Gila river at the Buttes, in Pinal coun.
ty. should be built. The government
makes appropriations for the dredging
of harbors and rivers to increase COM
merce, and we see no reason why it
should not make appropriations for the
building Of reservoirs for the reclama-
ton of the desert. If the Buttes res
ervoir we're built thousands of acres
of desert would become blossoming
fields, affording occupation and homes
for thousands of families"

Oregon will pe the first state to hold
an election this year, which comes off
early in June. The populists, demo
Gratis and free silver republicans have
agreed to fusion on the 16 to l ratio,
and it is conceded they will carry the
state, as Mckinley carried it only by a
small majority on the plea that he fav-
ored bimetalism. Since then the re-
publican party has placed itself On
record in opposition to silver.

The commonwealth at Pearce is
another product of the desert. The
mine and mill are operated with a
force of about 100 men. The ores are
free milling and the values are high in
gold and silver. The mill is of Ger
man pattern, with balls, vanners and
settlers. The very high grade ore is
not milled, but is shipped to the smell
ters. This property is eighteen miles
southeast of Cochise and the workings
are in hill which rises 300 feet from
a level plateau.-Phenix Republican.

Last Thursday the miners in the
Yukon district held meeting and re-
ouested one Ed Pryor to leave the

About one month ago my child. which
is fifteen months old, had an attack OF
diarrhoea, accompanied by vomiting.
I gave it such remedies as are usually
given in such cases, but as nothing
gave relief, we sent for a physician
and it was under his care for a week.
At this time the child had been sick
for about ten days and was having
about twenty-five operations of the
bowels every twelve hours, and we
were convinced that unless it soon OBJ

Uncalled For and Unjust

The Wilmington Messenger has this
to say in a recent issue in describing
the search for an offender:
FINALLY, the chief, who is thorough
ly familiar with every nook and path
in this vicinity, decided to go after
Captain Tom to assist him. After rig
ging himself out in a linen duSter, be-
spattered with mud, and much the
worse for wear, and an old slouch hat,
he hired a horse and put out for East
Wilmington. Astride of the horse the
chief, clad in his disguise resembled
a circuit rider preacher"
The Methodist circuit rider is the
hero of Methodism. Through the fire
and flood of over a century he has
cleared the way for the advance of our
victorious church. The page Of history
is resplendent with the light of his
consecrated valor. Out in the dark
ness and storm he presses his way to
the ramparts of sin. The one earthly
name enshrined in the hearts of the
millions, who by happy firesides kneel
at the affairs of Methodism, is that of
the true Paladin of history-the cir
cult rider" There is not a true man or
woman who will not resent the above
odiOus and slanderous allusiOn, and
wonder at the prejudice or ignorance
which inspires it.-Christian Advocate.
had Wronged either man or the church
when the article commented upon was
published, and is utterly dumbfounded
at the conception placed upon it by the
writer in the Christian Advocate.
We freely acknowledge the great
good the circuit rider has done not
only for his church, but for the spir-
itual good Of man, and if it were pos
sible in any way to slur his char
acter we would not be base enough
to do so, nor was any attempt made
in the article subject to such unjust
criticism.
Now to the Advocate writer: Was il
Christian-like for him to characterize
the article in the manner in which he
did? Does it not show that he is apt
to jump at conclusions, make noun
tain out of mole hill," and is utterly
incapable of being at all charitable. L
he had said that the article spoke
slightingly of the circuit rider, ther
we would not have taken exceptions
but would have plead, and rightly so
thoughtlessneSs on the part of TIL,
Messenger writer, and for this w,
make amends. However, our friend
says it was an "odious and slanderou
allusion,'' which we denounce as un
true. This shows that he was speakins
about the shabby apparel mentioned il
our article and that he thinks consid
cradle Of the lust of this world, con
siderable more than he does of Chris
tianity.
However, we hope that wisdom
will supplant his prejudice or ignor
ance" in the years to come and tina
in the future he will be more of
good Samaritan.

stop off at Camp Meade, Middletown,
Pa, for about half an hour.
This will be the first vacation Pres
ident Mckinley has taken since the
war threatened. 1t will be of very
short duration, occupying in all, ac-
cording to present plans, less than
fortnight He will leave here at 9
o'clock Saturday morning on a special
train of Pullman cars. Mrs Mckinley
will be with him and they will have
a small party of friends as guests.
The presidents wish is to have as
little display and publicity Of move
ments as possible, desiring a quiet
trip unhampered by ceremonies. Ac-
cordingly, his plans as made up do
not include a general review Of the
troops at Camp Meade. The train en-
route to Somerset will make a snort
stop at MiddletOwn, Pa, where the
president has planned to stay about
half an hour or just long enough to
look over the camp, but not to stay
long enough to warrant any general
or long exercises. This is due to his
personal inclination to omit all cere-
mony. He will next proceed direct to
his brothers home to remain over
Sunday. Beyond that point his plans
are not finally settled. He has prom
ised to make a visit to Camp Wikoff
at Montauk Point, Long Island, when
the condition OF the troops will permit
them to march in review and it is pos
sible that he may go there next week.
He has a special desire to see the he
roes of Santiago and will endeavor to
reach Montauk at as early a date as
their physical condition warrants.

Shot at by BURGERS

Last week we mentioned that an at
tempt was made to enter the residence
Of Ex-Mayor John ]. Fowler, on south
Front street. There was one man
then but yesterday morning between
2 and o'clock three men made a raid
on the premises.
Mr.. Fowler's family is occupying his
cottage at Carolina Beach for the
summer and his residence in the city
is under the care of Robert Robinson,
colOred, who occupies a small house
in the back yard, few feet from the
residence. The kitchen and pantry of
the residence are at the rear of the
house and they open onto back
piazza with lattice work at the end,
about twelve feet from the little house
occupied by Robinson and his fam
lily. Between and o'clock yester-
day morning Robinson heard somebody
on the back piazza trying to get into
the kitchen and pantry and he came
out on the piazza of his house and saw
three negroes trying to get into Mr..
Fowler's residence. He called out
What are you men doing there?" and
his answer was a pistol shot fired
point blank at him only twelve feet
away. The bullet struck the landing
of staircase on the back piazza Of Mr..
Fowler's residence, directly in line
with Robinson, but the bullet glanced
and tore a splinter from the corner of
post on Robinson's piazza a few feet
from where he was standing. The
darkey was naturally frightened out
of his wits and darted into his house
yelling Police! police!" at the top of
his voice. The three men, who he
says were negroes, ran across the va
cant lot next to the house, jumped the
fence into Front street and ran down
Church street towards the river.
Meanwhile Robinson screeched "po-
lice! police!" and alarmed all the
neighbors, black and white. They ran
over to his house and found him in a
wild state of alarm. A gentleman who
responded to the alarm says Robinson
continued to cry police" fifteen min
utes after the burglars had fed, and
when he was told to hush up, that
they had gone, he said: mo sir. / amt
gwine to hush. I'm skeered, and ain't
going to let gurglars come here and
carry me off,"
Several men went in the direction
the burglars ran but saw nothing OF
them. The door of the pantry where
they tried to get in shows marks where
they attempted to prize it open. Rob
inson told a Messenger representative
yesterday that he called for the police
with all his might but none came un-
til yesterday. He says he is going to
| fire on the next man who tries to get
] into that house, without hailing him
While this is the second attempt to
get into Ex-Mayor Fowler's residence

A Schooner Run Down
by a Steamer.
SIXTEEN LIVES LOST
In Fog the Norge Runs into the La
Conquetse OF the Grand Banks-The
Schooner IL Cut In Two and Sinks Inn
medtately Carrying Down Sixteen
Entansled In the Falling Rigging
The Captain and Eight Wen saved by
the Steamer

New York, August 25.-The Thing
valla Line steamer Norge. which ar
rived here today, reports that she sunk
the French fishing schooner la CO.
quette, of Bayonne, France, on Sat
urady last on the Grand Banks. The
captain and eight seamen were saved.
Sixteen went down with the unfortu-
nate vessel. The weather was foggy,
but not so thick that the vessels speed
was reduced. Captain Knudson said he
could see about three cable lengths
ahead. The wind was fairly direct from
the west southwest, when a vessel
suddenly loomed from the north, with
sails full, and stood directly across the
bow Of the steamer. The bells were
rung to stop and back at full speed,
but too late to check the steamer S
headway. The stranger, fishing
a crash was forced over and sunk.
Three men sprung aboard Of the
Norge A boat was lowered and six
men and a dog were picked up. Cap
tain knudson, of the Norge, said that
as d steam VoSSel ne was Obliged TO
keep out Of the way of all sailing
craft, but that this was a time when
the sailing vessel could do more to
help herself than the steamer. The
latter was going at full speed, for the
fog was not in the judgement of the
captain sufficient to reduce headway.
The fisherman was an active vessel,
had a good breeze and was under good
Steerage way, but made no attempt to
avoid the collision, keeping on with
sails full until squarely under the bow.
At the office of the French consul
the names of the lost were given. All
We're fishermen. The report Of Cap
tain Berre to the French consul states
that when the collision occurred there
was a heavy fog prevailing. The men
were all on deck fishing. Suddenly
the Norge appeared coming toward
them, head-on, for their side. 1t was
impossible to do anything to get out
of the way. The Norge, which was
going at speed or frem eight to ten
knots an hour, hit la COquette in the
side. Her after-mast fell toward the
wheel. There were sixteen men in that
sails and masts pinned them down SO
that it was inevitable death for them
as the vessel began to sink. The wheel
was smashed by the fall of the mast
and control of la Couuette was lost
The Norge cut her clean in half. The
steamer backed as quickly as possible
and her crew lowered boats and went
to the rescue of the men in the water
1t was impossible to save the sixteen
men who perished. La Coquette sank
at once.

Fatal Effects Of the Hot Weather-See.
reaary AIgers Inspeetion-The Num-
her Of Sick.

New York, August 25.-The heat is
playing havoc with the sick men in
Camp wikofY and is partly responsible
for the nine deaths which were re-
ported today. There are 1,12o sick men
in the general hospital and 336 in the
detention hospital. There are 20
cases Of typhoid fever One hundred
and thirty sick OF the Eighth Ohio vol
unteers were landed from the Mo-
hawk today and taken to the deten-
tion hospital.
Secretary Alger after making an
inspection of the general hospital and
detention camp, complimented the sur
geons and the Red Cross nurses for
their good work and ordered 100 men
Of the Second engineer corps detailed
for police duty about the camp. Sec
retary Alger also ordered that wooden
flooring be placed in the kitchen, din
ing tents and general hospital.
Colonel Roosevelt arrived in camp
today from his home at Oyster Bay,
where he has been spending a weeks
furlough. He said he expected to
have a talk with Secretary Alger
about mastering out the Rough Riders
of the men in his command in the bat
ties before Santiago.
Secretary Alger was driven early to-
day to the general hospital where there
are 1,200 sick soldiers. He conversed
with many of the sick men, inquired
as to their condition and if they were
in need of anything. General Alger
occasionally made notes of what he
saw. He assured the sick men that
as soon as they were well enough they
would be allowed to go to their homes
on furloughs.
An extra supply Of milk was receiv-
ed today and was a blessing to the ty-
phoid sufferers.
General Alger said there should be
at least 1900 gallons of milk delivered
at the hospital camp daily and ar
rangements have been made for such
a supply.
The men on the Yale were unload
ed today and the It's sick were taken
to the detention hospital. The Red
Cross Society has 800 cots ready for
distribution in the regimental hospi-
tai.
Lieutenant Commander Thomas Twi
of the japanese navy, said today after
inspecting the camp at Montauk, that
it compared favorab1y with any camp
he has yet seen.
