THE movement for abolition of the fiesta in Sonora is progressing very favorably and gathering strength with each day. The newspapers of the state are bat ting manfully for the good cause, and many prominent citizens have joined in the effort. while several of the strongest associations-such as the sociedad Hidalgo, and the Allianza Hispano Americana, ,- have adopted resolutions in sup port thereof. In this connection it may not be amiss to note that during the past year the state of Hidalgo accomplished this much desired reform.

The reason for that is very plain.
 There IS no provision of law where by the expense of such work can be paid. If an officer essays such work he must do so at his own ex- pense. Sometimes in such cases the governor offers a reward. But no one will undertake such work with the hope of a reward unless the evidence points so plainly to the guilty party that he can be located with very little trouble and in very short space of time. For these reasons this long series of crimes has gone unpunished, with no effort whatever to ferret out the perpetrators.
 Yet those who are posted out in that region freely assert the finger of suspicion is in every instance directed to the same people. In the expressive language of the informants of THE OASIS i've know who have always money to spend, and who always go we'll dressed, yet never work nor ever have anything to sell, but ride around the country enjoying them selves and blowing in money" These gentlemen quoted, freely assert that to moral certainty all these crimes have been perpetrated by less than half dozen men, and that so long as those men are in the country, the life of no one who has few dollars is safe. Other such murders are sure to take place.
 A state of affairs so intolerable cannot long continue. Something should be done to remedy the mat ter. A very simple and efficacious remedy suggests itself at once, and sooner or later that remedy will be applied.

It counteracts any tendency of cold of Ia grippe to re- suit in that dangerous disease. It is the best remedy in the world for bad colds and la grippe. Every bottle warranted. For sale by L. W.

 says. Allen T. Bird is a kicker,
 but he knows how to run a news
 paper"
 Many thanks for the compli-
 ment; but can The Times recall a
 newspaper of weight and force any,
 where that is not numbered among the kickers9 The capacities and capabilities which go to make a good newspaper man constitute a
 "nach'I bonn kickeh. And newspaper which is not hated and condemned has no weight and force in the community where it is published, nor any where else. Take the great Pacific Coast name sake of our Globe contemporary the LUs Angeles Times. Is there man in California more hated and feared than Harrison Gray Otis, its proprietor and editor-in-c chief? Yet where is there journal more pow erful9 One instance will suffice. Before the recent election in Cali fornia The Times served notice up- on the republican manipulators who were seeking renomination of George J. Arnold, as the member of the state board of equalization, that Mir. Arnold had made in that office record which was corrupt and unworthy, and if he were re- nominated that journal would op- pose his election and defeat him. The managers of the party disre- garded that notice, and forced the re-nomination of MT. Arnold. The Times, while supporting the entire republican ticket, except MT. Arnold, made relentless open fight upon him. As a result Mir. Arnold ran more than seven thous- and votes behind his ticket, and was defeated by over four thousand majority, while the republican can didate for governor carried the dis trict by about three thousand majority. The Times has repeat edly made just such breaks. As consequence 1t has enemies galore, and from one end of California to the other that paper is condemned and execrated. To hear the critic isms and curses leveled at 1t one would think it had not friend in all the wide world. Its enemies are always carping and railing, while its friends simply saw wood. But on election day its friends go to the polls and vote-and that's what counts. Hundreds of thous- ands of dollars have been sunk by its enemies in efforts to build up in its field a rival which will crush The Times and drive it out of ex- istence. But without avail. for the man who will prostitute his intel lect for hire to tear down another has not sufficient constructive ability to build up himself; and money and support given such a

"A DARK AND BLoopLr GROUND"

ne recent double murder at Calabasas; the victims of which
 were two old and inohensive men, neither of them with an enemy in the world, has recalled that within a few miles of that place there has been within a dozen years most appalling array of mysterious mur- ders, the perpetrators of none of which have ever been discovered. Recently resident of that section enumerated nine such mysterious murders as having occurred within radius of very few miles within dozen years.
 The first victim was Fred Keyser, who at the time of his untimelv taking off lived on the Con Ryan ranche in the Sonoita Cafion, about mile below the old Salero smelter. He was found in the house, shot to death, as were the two victims of the latest tragedy. About two years later Con Ryan was himself killed in the same mysterious man. ner, at the same place. likewise without any clue to the murderer. In the same year as the death of Ryan, a Chinamen, whose name is not now recalled, was found dead in the same vicinity. About eight years ago Henry Holland was found dead with the back of his head cut open with an ax. Seven or eight years ago J. w. Fuqua was called out of his house one night and stabbed to death in the dark, no less than fifteen knife wounds in his breast being counted by those who found his lifeless re- mains on the day after. Then about six years ago China Louis," a Chinaman well known in the neighborhood was killed in the same mysterious manner. Two years ago there were uncovered the remains of another Chinaman who had been dead some time and had been hastily inferred by the per petrators of the crime. He had been killed by blow with an ax. Now comes this recent murder of Jim Peters and Dutchman Henry
 -.
 All these murders are believed to have been perpetrated for the purpose of robbery. In each and every instance the victims were supposed to have had money. In | the case of Peters, it is known that he had leased some land and was going to plant it to barley for hay. He had about three hundred dol lars with which he intended buying seed, and was about to go to Tue son to purchase it. To kill him and get the money the murderers were obliged to kill his companion also. Examination of the scene of the murder demonstrated that the money had been taken. Similar went with most of
