Artie Phillips Returns.

Anie Philips Returns.
Artie Phillips of Mulvane, returned
to bis home Thursday from the
Philippines, where he served with the
Tenth Pennsylvania regiment. He
was met at the depot by several hun.
dred Mulvane people and escorted to
his mothers nome. A reception will
be given HIM tonight, and he will be
seated at table upon which will rest
a pie four feet in width and six feet
in length. When Phillips was in
the Philippines he wrote a letter
home saying that he would be happy
if he could have piece of mothers
pie. The neighbors then got together
aud planded the big pie fOc him. 1t
is being baked today.
Phillips stopped 10 Wichita yester-
day on his way home, and was inter-
viewed upon matters OF interest 10
the Philippines. Asked as to his
opinion of the situation there, he
said:
"We have a hard contest over there.
Tue islands are very rich in many Of
the products We need. Take the
minerals, for instance. There are
some rich mines in the islands, and a
great field in this industry that ought
to be developed. Many Of the men Of
the western regiments who have
some knowledge of mining are asking
to be discharged at Manila, intending
to niue for gold and other mirerals."
What do you think of General
Otis?" was asked.
General Otisis all right. He has
been very uujustly criticised. Doubt
less he has made some mistakes, but
you must consider that this campaign
is all on new lines, and much had to
be accomplished as a pure means of
experiment"
Are the other officials doing any
good work 10 the campaign"
"Yes. Generals Hale, Lawton and
Macarthur are dandies and are great
fighters. And l want to say that
nothing is too good for the Twentieth
Kansas. saw great deal of their
work and have met many of their
men. They were located just across
the railroad from our regiment.
"Have you ever seen Aguinaldo?"
The young soldier who had helped
rOut him so many times did not
smile. "Yes, was near him several
times when he was talking to our
officers. This was when we were
fighting the Spaniards In those da, s
he frequently met our officers and
conferred with them as an ally. In
short time after we had whipped
the Spaniards he became a foe.
Aguinaldo is bright and intelligent.
He is about q years old and has some
Chinese blood cOursins through bis
veins. He seems to have strange power
over his followers. They think he
cannot be killed, and that no matter
how many bullets we might pour into
his body he would still live and lead
them to safety. Aguinaldo has not
this opinion Of himself. He takes
care to remain long ways from the
firing line"
Mr.. Phillips thinks the insurgents
are receiving aid and comfort from
some of the ports of the island.
Phillips is graduate OF Lewis
Academy, Wichita. He enlisted for
the war while attending the Washing
ton and Jefferson college ia Washing
ton, Ia. Company II Of the Tenth
Pennsylvania regiment was made up
Of college students.

Globe is All Right,
lFrom the Silver Belt.l

Several of our exchanges have pub lished statements made by disgruntled visitors to Globe, who failed to "catch on, that our copper companies had discharged nearly all their men, there by conveying the impression that times in Globe were 'corky." The idea is entirely erroneous. One company has discharged 200 green hands, but there is DO indication that this action has had any depressing effect on the camp, which continues to expand from month to month. The improvement is sub- stantial, and we assure soreheads and timorol,s people that Globe is building on 8 rock foundation and there will be no retrogression. Important sales are being made every week, and capable men find employment This is first
 class camp and the riff raf and incom' petents had better seek some other field. Our two largest copper com. panies now employ about 775 men, which is not so bad.

 Miss Bose, Mrs. W. NJ. Kellogg and Mrs. E. E. Putnam were seated on the latter's porch, waiting escort to a dance nearby, when lamp left lighted in the house began to act badly. Mrs. Putnam seized it and started for the yard, but as she gained the porch the lamp exploded, throwing burning oil over Miss Bose. In an instant she was ablaze.
 Vincente Ariza rushed in from the street to put out the fire, but was himself badly burned. Then Mrs. Kellogg and Mrs. Putnam, seizing blankets, tried to smother the flames, but the blankets caught. fire aud the ladies themselves narrowly escaped burning By thus time Miss Bose had fallen exhausted, her clothes literally burned from her.

They will then man afacture new brand of four called Peerless High Patent, which they claim will be superior to any four in the market. Ample tests have been made to warrant them in their assertion. The writer has visited their plant and had the making of this new brand ex- plained to him, and is confident that they are not claiming any more than they can perform. This brand will be placed upon the market and be for sale at all the stores within very short time.-[ Tucson Citizen.

Future of the Bicycle.

It is agreed by all bicycle manufac- turers that the 1899 models represent the perfect wheel. Improvement seems to be impossible. Precisely the same thing IS true of Hostetter's s Stomach Bitters. It represents the limits of science in overcoming disease, and it is impossible to make a better medicine for the stomach, liver, kid neys and blood. A few doses of the Bitters will start weak, nervous and bloodlcss people on the road to strength. A regular course of treat
 ment will bring back the pink to the cheeks and sparkle to the eye. Sleep will come naturally, and it will be refreshing and heaithful. Dyspepsia, indigestion and constipation will be completely banished, and the blessings of true health bertowed. Never take a substitute for this perfect remedy.

 Barnes.

Visit from General Wilson and Judge
 Barnes.
 General J. F. Wilson, Delegate to Congress, and Judge Wm. Il. Barnes, oi Tucson, arrived in Florence Tnes- day noon and in the afternoon were driven to the site of'of the Buttes res eryoir, where the Government engin- eers gave them every opportunity to inspect the work now going on at that point. The different lines of boring for bedrock were given, and the visitors were conducted to the top of one of the Buttes, where they had magnificent birds eye view of the grand depression in the earth's surface where it is proposed to store the mill lions of gallons of water which now run to waste during the flood sea son. As General Wilson expressed it, 'sI have now photographed in my minds eye this grand project, which means the reclamation of hundreds of thou sands of acres of our most fertile lands, and think will have little difficulty in impressing t upon Congress so that body may grant sufficient appropria- tions for it's completion. The site is an ideal one-a basin fifteen miles long and three miles wide, where nature has placed ahutments in eger-liying rock, only appealing to man for the headgates to complete the grand scheme"
 On Wednesday the visitors were taken to the Saeaton Indian agency, twenty-five miles below Florence, where Agent Hadley and Rev. Mir. Cook gave them warm welcome. Most valuable data was gathered here. Interviews were had with leading In- dians, who sent messages by General Wilson to the President and Congress, appealing in strongest terms for water. They stated they had no desire to become a burden on the Govern ment; all they wanted was an oppor- tunity to earn their own living, which they could do bountifully if given water. The visitors were shown parched fields, suffering for the life giving fluid where the crops would not return the seed. Our delegate was very much impressed, stating he had no idea matters were in such bad condition among our friendly neigh bors. He had never been much of an Indian lover, but their deplorable con- dition appealed strongly to his sym pathies, and he should consider it his first duty to see that water was sup. piled for them. The Pimas and Mari copas had always been friends of ths white man, and had aided us time. without number in repressing out breaks among the savage Apaches. | would be an ungrateful Government indeed, that would now turn dea ear to their earnest appeals for al opportunity to earn their own living
