The Biggest Bicycle in the World.

A German has just completed a bicycle
that has one wheel nine feet in diameter.
Two people ride it-one on each side of the
monster, wheel. 1t runs as easily as a small
er bicycle because of its scientific construc-
ton. The scientific formula of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is the reason of its great
virtues in making the weak strong, and in
curing most of the everyday ailments of
men and women. If your health is poor,
try a bottle.

MORE SPANIARDS LEAVING.
Another Large Batch of Our Santiago
Prisoners Bid Farewell to the Scene
of Their Defeat.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 27.-The
Spanish transports San Francisco,
San Augustin and Colon left Thurs
day afternoon for Spain with 1865
Spaniards, including Is officers and
their families and four priests. Eight
men died on the way to the ships.
Their corpse were checked off" as
passengers. 1t appears that there
have been many instances of this kind
during the embarkatiOn of the Span
iards, the transportation company
thus being enabled to collect the pas
sage money, a thing readily managed
under the easy inspection of the
Americans.
Words of Comfort by Gen. TOraI.
Gen. Toral, when bidding adieu to
the Spanish officers and men who
were leaving, said:
Conquered, we yield with honor tG
ourselves and to Spain. Whatever may
be the future of Cuba, history will
preserve the story of your heroic and
noble deeds in this country. We re-
gret our failure and its cost in treas
ure and in blood; but you have nobly
fought and nObly lost"

Gen. Shafter and his staff sailed
Thursday on the United States trans
port Mexico. His departure was not
marked by special incident. On arriv.
ing at Montauk Point, Gen. Shafte1

furniture look nice. You can rub, and
dust, till your patience is exhausted,
but it still looks shabby especially af-

thing to do is to make a visit to our

replace your shabby pieces of furniture
and save worry and time.

THEOLOGY AND MEDICINE.
A Commercial Traveller Who Knows a
 Good Deal About Both.

''I suppose you remember our dis cussion one morning before daybreak in the Jerome Junction depOt?" said MT. N. B. Ferguson, the representative of a Los Angeles drug house. The reporter nodded aye in answer. On this particular occasion, late in Mo- vember, on the early morning train out of Prescott, there appeared among the passengers MT. Ferguson, Meth odist missionary, an elderly lady of pronounced views and the representa- tive of The Republican. Not until the Jerome passengers had congre- gated in the depot did any conversation come up. There was a long wait be- fore the narrow gauge flyer should depart for the mining district, and the station agents clerk made the party comfortable after several efforts to start fire. The final and effective move required a dose of signal or some other brand of oil. When this combustible was applied the elderly lady gave evidence of uneasiness, but the clerk assured the nervous one that his methods, though apparently dan gerous, were simple and lacked the possibility of an explosion. Various subjects came up and were disposed of, the newspaper man being "a locker on in Venice" as it were. When it came to religion the commercial trav- eler warmed up and gave the mission ary some very hard thrusts, totally oblivious, at the time, of the reverend gentleman's piOus avOcatiOn. It was not until the train was making lively turns around sharp curves on the run to Jerome that the identity of the mis- siOnary became manifest. This fact did not disturb the equanimity of the knight of the grip, who discussed theology as freely as when the quar- tette assembled in the dark that cool November morning. To make matters more aggravating the drummer in yited Conductor Russell to settle a question and that functionary did "break us all up" when he volunteered an answer.
 s'You remember the fatal accident at Mcclellan, of course?" said the man from the city of the angels, and The Republican representative said most emp5atically that he did (remem- bering his walk the morning follow ing the wreck) and would not soon forget the event. Well" said the tourist. ''I took a hand in that affair from g. good Samaritan's point of view. My knowledge of medicine and of doctors methods in handling pa tients came handy the morning Ford and O'Kelly, who were injured. were brought into Dr. Roberts office at Williams, where the unfortunate men lay writhing in agony. I turned up my shirt sleeves and helped the doc tor out, much to his relief, as both cases were serious and required great deal of attention. The accident was an awful affair and only eye witnesses foU lxappreciate the extent of it. I
 1go north tonight" suggested MT.
 Ferguson as he headed for the nearest drug store.

HE ABIDES HERE.
A Well Known Wool Buyer Putting
 His Time in in the Valley

''Well, I see you are making quite an extended stay" said the reporter to MT. A. Vandevort, the Boston wool buyer, yesterday. "Yes," was the re- sponse that the active little man made, and I am going to stay several days longer. You see they are not through Shearing on the outskirts and I have to go out about every day. I just came in and I can tell you it is a fine drive from the north end of town, es- pecially down the boulevard, com monly known as Center street The boys are at it in great shape and it would be treat to the tourist to see how rapidly an animal is bereft of his coat. Now and then the sheep shear CTS get into a discussion with re- spect to their ability and it often leads up to a wager and a subsequent con- test, the result of which proves the superiority of one over the other. Owners of sheep know the relative merit of men as sheep shearers and put up on their favorites with a show of prodigality. I have no figures. but presume you can get the records of lightning manipulation from the sheep men themselves. fiji
 "The crop of Arizona wool that have seen down here is as fine as silk; better than the New Mexico product by far. I have secured 250,- 900 pounds of the 3OO,OOO clipped and there is more to be had, but not ready for delivery. Tell your friends to take an afternoon off and visit the camp. There is entertainment out there for an hour or two.''

CURIOS SENT EAST.
Tourists Send Many Indian Curios to
 Their Eastern Friends.

You would be surprised to know teh amount of curios tourists send to their homes in the east from Phoenix" !" said a curio dealer. ''They send every imaginable thing that can be sent from an Indian basket to a cactus plant. Indian pictures are popular with tourists and thousands of them are sent away every winter. The In- dians at the reservation and on the streets of Phoenix are the subjects most chosen by the tourist with ko- dak. The Indian does not like to have his picture taken, and he will get out of the range of the kodak if he has to break into a fast run down the street to do it. But there are a great many Indian pictures taken by pho tographers in the city who know how to handle the Indians when they want their pictures.
 Indian baskets are bought by the tourists at the curio stores every day." continued he. "It would be hard matter for me to tell the number of baskets sold, but the number is very large. The Indians bring them into the city every day. We buy all they bring to us as there is always a good market for them during the winter months when the city has several thousand winter visitors. They make all manner of baskets and they in- variably give them the same general design with the use of the black shreds of the devil weed Did you ever mo- tice how much the Indian designs re- semble the ancient Grecian des' gns?
 ''The stuffed tarantula, scorpion and Gila monster find many buyers among the tourists. This year we have sold a great many cactus plants of the small CT varieties such as the cholla. They are a curiosity back east. I would not be surprised if some one would take east a sahuari from the desert.
 ''The Navajo blanket is always in demand. Hundreds of these have been sold this winter in Phoenix and ship ped east by the purchasers. The blan- ket business will always be good. There is only one Navajo blanket" i" concluded the curio man.
