ARIZONA.
It's Attractions and Advantages as q
 Place of Residence in Winter.

Whitelaw Reid. owner and editor of the New York Tribune, who has spent the last two wint CTS in Arizona for the benefit of his health, writes entertainingly and in structively concerning that part of the country. Mir. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as place for winter residence, and there appears to be such dearth of pre- else information among many who are vitally interested, that it seems almost q public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, few facts of personal observation.
 WEATHER.
 During a five months residence in Southern Arizona in winter there was but one day when the weather made it actually unpleasant for me to take exercise in the open air at some time or other during the day. Of course there were good many days which weather observer would de scribe as "cloudy," and some that were "shoyery; but during these five months (from No' ember, 1895, to May, l696,) there were only four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dur ing the day. Even more than Egypt, any where north of Luxor, Arizona IS the laud of sunshine. As to details:
 TEMPERATURE.
 l have seen the thermometer mark 92 degrees in the shade on my north piazza in March. On the other hand, we had frosts which killed young orange trees, and there were several nights when thin ice formed The government reports show a mean temperature for fourt cen years at the pres eut territorial capital of 57b degrees in November, 53 degrees iu December, 49 de- grees in January, 54 degrees in February, 8l degrees in March and 66 degrees in

There is no section of the United States, or probably of the earth, more rich in min eral wealth than the County of Yuma. Al' the country north, east and south of Yuma
 lies directly within the main gold belt that commences in Alaska and ends in Mexico
 From the San Rornariino mountains il California to the Sonora boundary line the mountains and hills are exceptionally rich il the precious metal, as though demonstrating tine theory often advanced that the richest gold mines are found bordering the beds Of

cury is ranging from SO' to 9O0. The air is so dry that perspiratIon is absorbed as soon as it reaches the surface of the body, and
 at no tune in the summer does the heat produce any discomfort.

RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY.

Tn regard to climate, healthfulness, fer tility and productiveness of soil, facilities for cultivation, irrigation and abundance of water supply, variety of resources and ,beap transportation by rail and by water, no part of Arizon can surpass Yuma county, which is destined to become one ot richest and most prosperous counties ln Arizona.
 It lies between 32o OO' and 340 2O' north attitude and ll3o 20' and ll40 40> west longitude. It contains 6,4SS, 320 acres. It isabout as large as the States Of Rhode island. Connecticut and Delaware com- bi.ed. or as large as either New Hampshire, Vermont or Massachusetts.
 The western boundary of Yuma County is formed by the Colorado river, which scuarates Arizona from California. The ropn4v is bounded on the north by Williams Fs,k and the Santa Maria uver, whose waters flow into the Colorado; on the east by the counties of Pima, Maricopa and Yavarai. and on the south by Sonora, Mexico. It's county seat is the town Ot Yuma.
 The Colorado river drains the entire ter ritory of Arizona, and every drop ct water which falls on its mountains and plains 6nds its way to this mighty river. 1t Is formed bv the union of the Green and Grand rivers, fed by the streams which rise in the Rocky Mountains, and the melt inc sncws cause a greater depth of water in this riy r Tn summer than ID winter, thus furnishing the most water at the season when it $ most required for the purposes
 irrigation and agriculture.
 will be seen that for the entire distance .org its western boundary, Yuma County noss, ses the great advantage Of cheap water transportation.
 The Gila river rises ill the western part of New Mexico and is fed by numerous streams, among the most prominent oi which are the San Pedro, Agua Fria, Has .avampa and Salt rivers. It flows west through Yuma County and empties into the
 
 Colorado at the town of Yuma.
 Yuma county, traversed by these great rivers from its northern to its southern and from its eastern to its western bound aries. possesses a far greater water supply than any other county in the Territory. and far more than can be found in all Cali fcrnia.
 This water is now being diverted from lt' natural channels hy means ot numerous large imicating canals, and utilized for the nurpose of retaining and irrigoting tho immense tracts of lands which lie in thi favored country, and which are as fertile as an~ in the world.
 The Southern Pacific Railroad crosses the Colorado river at the town of Yuma ano rpns through the county, following th' ,,encrol course, and at an average distance of about four miles south, of the Gila river rendering all the lands susceptible of irr cation and cultivation, can find an easy optlet in this way and can be transpol ted osU the markets and centers of population in the East or West.
 Anoa.er competing railroad is projected from San Diego, California, to tie town efYuma. and thence along the north side of inc Gila river. Tkus Yuma County will nave exceptional railroad advantages.

BET ON PUBLIC OPINION.
Money Won and Lost on Date of
Alger's Reclamation.

Washington, July PA wager of ex-
traordinary character was paid today.
The money amounting to $780, has been

THE COST OF A JOKE.
Boys Leg Roasted From Knee to
Ankle as a Prank.

HopkinsvilIe, Ky, July 22.-Pinckney
Hays, u years old, has lost leg in con-
sequence of a fiendish joke penetrated
by two youthful companions. The boy
came here recently from Gracey in
search of employment.
While he was asleep last night, foot
sore and weary from a days fruitless
tramping in quest of work, his two COM
Danions bound one of his limbs in
cloth, and having saturated the wrap
ping, set it afire. The victim of this at
tempt at a practical joke was so
fatigued that he did not wake until the
blaze had commenced to scorch his shin.
Then, panic stricken he lost several val
liable seconds before he succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames.
His hands were badly burned and his
leg was roasted from knee to ankle. The
burns were so serious that amputatiOn
of the limb was found necessary today.
The two cuIprits fed, but have been
traced to Evansville, and if captured
will be brought back here for trial

proved by the secretary of the navy
ana the necessary appliances will be
purchased at once in Hong Kong. The
three ships named are all ready, Lieut..

at any time.
Naval officers of Hobson's corps feel
that he has not been treated fairly by
officers of the line, and they resent the
lnslnuatiOnS hurled at Lieut.. HObson.
It has been said that he has been
snubbed by Dewey and other officers
of the ASiatic fleet. They say more

If Life were one long

If life were one long summer day and its
journey through a garden of flowers, it
might be possible for people to be careless
of their health without fearing evil results
Unfortunately, since Adam and Eve were
driven from the Garden of Eden, life has
not been toilless journey through a garden
of flowers. Man must earn bread by the
sweat OF his brow, and woman must bring
forth children in pain and suffering.
In both cases the curse IS multiplied
many times over because both men and
women neglect their health Mans toll is
rendered a thousand times harder by the
added burden of ill-health. The woman is
a still greater sufferer She suffers in 81

already implanted in their little bodies.

IS 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines

From the Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad,
N. G.

of a newspaper has the right to publicly
recommend ANY of the various proprietary
medicines which flood the market, yet as
a preventive of suffering We feel it a duty
to say a good word for Chamberlain 5
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
We have known and used this medicine
in our family for twenty years and have
always found it reliable. In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours of
suffering While a physician is awaited. We
do not believe in depending implicitly on
iieve that if a bottle of Cham beriafn's
Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand
and administered at the inception of an
attack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence of a
physician would not be required. At least
this has been our experience during the
last twenty years. For sale by all drug
