BRONCO RIDERS COMING
Volunteers for the Indian a.d Cow
boy Carnival.

The bronco riders are wide awake to
the fact that the Indian and Cowboy
carnival will be a genuine wild west
show, in which the skillful horseman
will be a prominent feature. w. E.
Scott, writing from Ash Fork. an
nounces that he will be one of those to
enter the lists and promises to make it
. lively for the other bronco riders. In
; this as well as everything else the old
saying goes, THE more, the merrier."
and Mr.. Scott will undoubtedly con-
tribute to the merriment of the occa-
sion.
The attendance of a goodly number
of Navajo Indians from Manuelito, n.
NJ, is practically assured. These fine
specimens of the American red men
will bring their saddles with them and
participate in the big parade on Mon
day, December 4. They will also bring
with them their native looms and give
each day an exhibition of the manu-
facture of the Navajo blanket. The
party will be under the charge of a
member of the firm of Cronemeyer &
Schember, who will accompany the
Navajos to the carnival. The trip will
be quite an event for the Navajos, as
the letter received by the carnival as
sociation fro mthe gentlemen named
says they have never been away from
home.
The following cash items were re-
ceived yesterday by the carnival asso-
citation: Lawrence & Clark, s25; Wal

STIFFEST JOB OF THE WAR

fsry Critic RevitwS fhe Opera
fIonS of Both Sides.

London, Nov. 1S.-The latest news
from the seat of war in South Africa
is, from one point of view, favorable to
the British. showing that Kimberley
is able to hold her own against the
Beers and that Estcourt is in a posi-
tion to beat back an attack by the
Boer forces now facing il. On the other
hand, advices pay testimony to the
ceaseless activity of the burghers of
the Free State frontier and their de-
termination to cut off relief for Lady
smith and, if possible, to isolate or cap
ture Estcourt, which is the nearest
town to Ladysmith still held by the
British.
a number of small Boer commandos
from the east and west are converging
on Estcourt and the railroad just south
gregate at least 1000, with a few guns,
which they evidently, from the en-
trenchments they are throwing up,
mean to mount on the hills dominating
any advance north from EStcourt
where General Hildyard is still COM
manding. Even with the strong relief
column now hurrying up from Durham,
the British will have a tough job to
pierce the Boer forces thrown across
the roads to Ladysmith, while the
crossing of the Tugela river on pom
toon bridges in the face of the Boer
artillery and rifles fired from the north
ern ridges commanding the river will
probably prove one of the stiffest en-
terprises of the war.
From the Free State frontier comes
news that reinforcements are rapidly
arriving at the Orange river camp,
where Lord Methuen is hurriedly pre-
pairing to push a relief force on to Kim
berley. The Scots Guards arrived
from Capetown on Thursday and the
relief force ought now to be almost
strong enough to tackle the Beers be-
sieging the town.

GEN. NILES AT TUCSON
IEvifationS Sent Out TO The Recep.
iion Today.

General Nelson A. Miles is expected
to arrive this morning at Tucson,
where elaborate preparations are made
for his reception and entertainment by
the Pioneers, of which organization he
is member. The general was elected
to that organization in the latter half
of the eighties, when he was making
his headquarters at Fort Lowell while
engaged in rounding up Geronimo and
his gang. When the work was done
Tucson presented the general a hand
some sword and since then he is held
in the old pueblo to be the greatest gen.
eral of his times. The warmth of SEN
timent is reciprocated, so that while
making his western tour, mainly for
the purpose of inspecting the defenses
at San Francisco, he was easily in
duced to revise his itinerary SO as to
spend one day at Tucson.
Invitations have been sent out to
prominent officials and citizens of the
territory to be present and assist in
the entertainment of the distinguished
guest. Invitations were received yes
terday by Governor Murphy, Chief
Justice Street and Judge Frank Cox
and their wives to attend the recep-
ton. The invitations came from DR..
Mark Rogers, master of ceremonies On
behalf of the Elks. Governor Murphy
had just returned from Tucson and
was overwhelmed by official business.
Judge Cox and Chief Justice Street
were also prevented by other engage
ments from accepting the invitation.
1t was hoped that General Miles
might arrange his journey so as to
visit Phoenix and Prescott, and it IS
possible that such an arrangement
may be made today.

ATTACK ON EsTCOURT.

Estcourt, Nov. 1S.-At 10 o'clock this
morning the Beers attempted to rush
Estcourt, but one shot from our naval
gun and several long range vOlleys fired
by the Dublin Fusileers sent them back
precipitately. The Beers had several
guns posted on the surrounding kopjes,
but our naval men apparently aston
ished them and their guns were with

 Tn this day and generation" said i the veteran pottery man today, every thing runs to putting people cnt,' and now you want to know of my battle with the prince. Yes, it is true that I licked the Prince of Wales. I have told the story many times during my long residence in Oakland It was when we were both boys that the prince and myself met in battle, and when the smoke of the engagement had cleared away there was no ques- ticn 1aised as to who had won. He was out of it.
 'HAt that time I was visiting my uncle. who lived in old Porto Bolo, the famous little Scottish pottery town on the south coast, cn the Frith Of Forth. One day was rifEng out on a donkey. and the young prince was walking, when we chanced to meet and trouble followed. The prince approached me, and catching me by the leg pulled me from the saddle. In those days I was fighter, and before the youngster knew just what struck him I had landed some good left swings and he was all but out when his tutor, who accompanied him, came to his rescue I cannot deny that the prince got the first fall when he pulled me from the donkey, but all the rest of the honors were easily mine. It is not of record just what happened to me after it was al ever, but 1 have just a hay recol- lection of meeting with my aged un- cle that ended in disaster for me.
 That fight made the Prince of Wales my friend for life. Long after that meeting in boyhood he happened to learn that was in need of financial aid, and he lost no time in sending me check for a princely sum. We have met several times since then, and ths prince always buys the wine after making me premise to fight fair San Francisco Bulletin.

Construction work on the massive buildings being erected by the copper company is progressing rapidly. The brick work of the new hotel is up to the bottom of the third and last floor; the interior of Masonic hall $ be- ing finished off and metal cornices put into place The new corrugated iron carpenter shop, alongside the track, i and about two hundred yards north f west of the smelter building, s more than half completed, and the struc- tural steel for another addition to the converter building i3 now on the dump.
 Contractors in the town have their hands full with new buildings within the city limits Brick, stone and adobe will be the prevailing materials of constructor; in fact, the new building ordinance adopted by the town council prohibits anything else These ordinances are draughted after the ones now in force in Denver. and are very thorough in their Sppllcat on Under their provisions an inspector of buildings is to have almost arbitrary authority of all construction within the town limits, and particularly within the fire limits, and a fearless, conscientious officer in that post will be a boon to the new Jerome, and the reduction in rates of insurance fol- lowing upon the erection of a fire proof town will more than pay the expenses of his administration. Par t.cular attention is paid in these or dinances to the thickness of walls, the installation of light and heating plants and apparatus and the inser- tion of fues, doors, windows, as well as the building of outhouses and lay ing of drains. The council so far in spite of much opposition from certain classes who are actuated by selfish in terests, has maintained the rigidity Of its spinal column, and in that trying task has had behind it the support and cOmmendatiOn of the responsible element of the town
 The spring fever" that has mani fested itself recently in various ex- citing episodes n which the opposite sexes have been concerned, seems to have abated in violence, and there has been no vivid sensation for nearly 3 week, although the contag;on seems to have infected Prescott.
 Mining men from all the points of the compass still continue to drop into camp. AS a rule, the average mining expert is a modest creature, and comes unheralded to 'ihe field of his labors. He abhors newspaper pub lfcity, and loves to labor unnoted and unobserved. But in a community as much alive to the copper situation as is Jerome at the present time, each newcomer is closely scrutinized, and his business becomes a matter of pub lie interest. There is a rumor afioat that the Standard Oil people are looking covetously upon this section and desire to add to their recently ac- quired holdings of copper properties by getting into the Black Hills coun- try.
 Charley Miller returned yesterday to Jerome after an absence of several weeks on the coast, during which time he visited Avalon and several of the other famous beach resorts, and is looking in fine fettle.

THE NEWS
 OF JEROME

Jerome, Anz., June Special Correspondence of The Republican.)- MT. R. A. Smith, who is to take charge of the Jerome branch of the Bank of Arizona, which will be opened here about July 15, has brought his house. hold effects from Congress, and is ln- stalled in his new home. The bank will have quarters in the corner ot the basement floor of the new Masonic hall building, which is now being put in shape for it's occupancy. John Wil- son of Prescott, who has been in the office of E. w. Wells, will be MT Smiths assistant in the new branch The need of a commercial bank has been long felt in Jerome, and will be heartily welcomed.
 The old Baptist church, recently purchased by the Congregati0nalists has been vacated by Dr. c w Woods, who has been utilizing it as hospital since the fire of last September, and the doctor Is having it thoroughly ren- ovated, painted and put in repair. The Rev E. H. Ashmun will probably hold his first service in the church H. have a small, but energetic member ship in Jerome. and with MT. Ashmun at the head wal doubtless soon be- come a most f1our.shing organization.
 Father Quetu, in charge of the Catholics in this parish, paid a VLslt to Jerome a few days go for the pur- pose of inspecting the plans drawn by Architect Perkins for the new Cath ollie church that will occupy site just above the jresent situation Of the ipostoffice. The new church will be constructed of brick, in the mission style, and from the elevations and plans in the hands of MT. Perkins, It will be a most hand some and com mod;ous edifce. The organ and chcGr loft will be over the $.ront entrance to inc church, and along the interior walls niches will be place for sacred statues, The nave will be arched, and stained glass will admit the sun. At night electric Rights will be utilized Tn both churches.
 F. Adolphe Provot is reported to be getting along nicely at Prescott. the fever having been absent for several days The patient is stll very weak and it will be some time before he will be able to resume his duties at Je- rome.
 There is a movement on foot 10 give a grand ball at the new Masonic hall on the fourth of next month under the auspices or the local Rathbones. As this appears to be the only Jerome attempt at fes- tivity on that date it will no doubt be a great success. although Prescott will draw largely on our population on the national birthday.

CERTAIN CURE FOR INSOMNIA.

Insomnia is a se1f-inf1icted curse through the violation of natures laws. The cause may be over anxiety, plan- ming for the morrC'w, thinking and worrying over the yesterdays and to- days, but no opiate can remove the cause, even though it may bring sleep. If the cause is merely mental over work it may be quickly removed by relieving the brain of the excess of blood Physical exercise is a panacea for about every ailment which human flesh is heir to. Therefore, stand erect, and rise slowly from the heels; descend slowly. Do this from forty to fifty times until you feel the con- gestion in the muscles of the leg. AL

DAHLGREN'S COURAGE.
Some Illustrative and Interesting Inci-
 dents Told by Judge Cowley.

After the launching of the Dahlgren at Bath on Monday afternoon, May 29.
 MT. and Mrs. John V Dahlgren of New
 York, gave reception and banquet at the HCtel Phoenix to the members of the Kennebec Naval Veterans associa- tion, the Bath iron worKs officials, and others. Judge Charles Cowley, of Low ell, Mass, who had served as judge ad- Vocate on Admiral Dahlgren's staff during the blockade of the southern
 ports, paid glowing tribute to the memory of the admiral
 The incident of Perry's shifting his flag from one ship to another in the | battle of Lake Erie has often been quoted as cool piece of daring, and so it was" said MT. Cowley "But it was thing that Admiral Dahlgren did repeatedly and thought nothing of it. The man for whom we have named this warship was one of the most in trGpid men who ever lived. I was with him when the Harvest Moon was blown up. She was a Maine-built yes sel, designed for duty in shoal water When she struck the torpedo an inn mense hole was blown through her bottom and she sank in about two minutes after the contact. Never shall forget the perfect coolness of the ad- miral upon that occasion. was standing aft on deck and mmediately after the explosion I heard Lieut. G. H. Rexford eXcitedly eXclaim: 'Ad- miral, we have struck a torpedo. T think it very likely, MT Rexford,' said the admiral, coolly. We got out of the situation with our lives, but that we did was due to the perfect discipline that the admiral enforced and to his marvellous ability to keep his head un- der the most trying experiences The speaker referred to the fact that Admiral Dahlgren was net only sailor, but a man of science as well. Some of his inventions" said MT. Cowley, ''have been superseded by the modern disappearing guns, but many of his creations in the department of naval science still remain of practical utility. During the civil war many heavy guns burst, killing and mniming hundreds, but I think there has never been recorded the bursting of Dahl gren gun. The Monitor that fought the Merrimac was armed with Dahl gren guns, and had the executive eff cer of the ship earlier in the fight made up his mind to double charge his guns, the rebel boat would never have withdrawn. She would have been sunk then and there. Lemar, the chronicler of the south, was generous enough to say that it was the Dahlgren gun that put down the rebellion"
 In a few happily appropriate re- marks, Mrs. Dahlgren thanked the vet erans, and presented to each of them handsome silver pencil as a souve- mir of the occasion.-Iewisto (Me.) Journal.
