is a singular fact that every Amer ican that was interested in that country in time became bankrupt Millions of good American coin has been dumped ill Mexico by Amer jeans the past twenty years, yet we have got to record the first man that ever made 4 dollar out of mining in Sonora. This is not said in a spirit of unfriendliness but as fact which needs explanation. Arizona Ga zette.
 Yet in the same issue that it printed the above. the Gazette pulp lished this item;
 Dr. Chenoweth and Jessie Grant were offered halt million dollars for their Sonora gold mine; the property is said to be one of the most promising in the state of Sonora.
 Now surely the Gazette most have got off on the wrong foot" in the first article quoted. The sec ond item surely contra jets the first. Both the gentlemen named are above reproach and neither would lie about a little matter of half a million dollars. Nor any of their friends would lie for them. They are all the quintessence of truth and purity-at least so the Gazette has always maintained.
 But has the Gazette never heard of the Colorado Creston mines at Minas Prietas and La Colorado, which have yielded their fortunate American owners through many years annual dividends of halt a million, and made millionaires of Messrs. Chamberlain and Price of Cleveland, OhioS Has it never heard of how Ho yell Kinds went to the same camp poor assayer and returned to the United States thin a few years millionaire? Has the Gazette never heard of the famous La Dura mine at La Bar ranca which has made very wealthy men of Armin Graf of San Fran cisco, F. A. Hartmann of Los An geles and Frank Ench of Oakland?

CITY COUNCIL NOTES

There was session last night Of the
city council but nothing was accomp-
llshed. There were two absent council
men, Aldermen Ramey and Dickerson.
A resolution was introduced to grant
the contract for the erection of the
waterworks plant to Giddes, Seerie
Stone company Of Denver, but that the
price must come within the $65, 600.
The retolution failed OF passage.
All the saloons applied for licenses to
take date from the tenth of October, but

tie is utterly unprotected. To seize it
would assure the Beers possession OF
Laings Mex, and compel the British to
do twenty miles OF fighting over rough
country, peculiarly situated to Boer tac-
tics, before they could begin the first
real action. The war office wants wax

be some ground for supposing that the
peace party at Pretoria has gained
temporary advantage as the result OF
the influence of Mr. Fisher, the special
representative of tho Orange Free

The Boer organ hero, the Standard,
and the Diggers News print dispatch
from Pretoria saying the tension there
was apparently less severe and that it
was believed arrangements for the pro-
posed conference at Capetoun n would be
completed, although President Kruger
Of the TiaI svaal Republic is unlikely to
attend.
The opinion Of those who regard the
beginning OF a war between Great Brit
ain and the Transvaal as matter OF
only short time is voiced by the St.
James Gazette which says:
"The news concerning the crisis is very
grave. We learn that three more infan-
try brigades have been ordered to Cape
Colony, including the Gordons Of Oar
gal fame, one battalion of the Highland
light infantry, the second battalion of
the Black Watch and the second bat
talon Of the Camerons
These regiments are under orders to
be prepared to leave at twenty -four
hours notice. The officers and men
are delighted at the prospect of active
service.
Advices from Capetown say:
1t is reported that J. h. Hoffmeyer,
the Afrikander leader, has telegraphed
President Kruger that he cannot have
the help of the Cape Colony
in the event OF hostilities. The excite
nent in Capetown is at fever heat.
Every edition Of the papers is eagerly
snapped up, the general feeling being
that war is not far distant.

John Bunyan wrote "The Pilgrims
Progress" in Bedford Jail, where he
was couflned for religion. A Quaker
came to the prison and thus addressed
him: "Friend Bunyan, the Lord hath
sent me to seek for thee, and l have
been through several countries in
search OF thee, and now ! am glad l
have found thee" Bunyan replied:
"Fricnd' thou dost not speak truth
in saying the Lord sent thee to seek
for me, for the Lord well knows that
l have been in this Jail some years, and
II he had sent thee he would have sent
thee here directly" Very few people
who claim to be acting for the Lord
ever show a commission to that effect.
Religious agents who are honest may
think they are doing what would
please the Lord; but that Is difficult TO
demonstrate when so many or the NJ
are In conflict with others who think
they are doing the Lords will.

BOB LOWRY.

An old confederate" writing to-
the McComb City Enterprise, thus re-
calls the dark days Of radicalIsm In
Mississippi and the part that Hon.
Robert Lowry took in choking the
vampires from the neck OF the COM
monwealth. He says:
"The writer has known him per.
sonally for over ffty years. When
they called for soldiers to defend the
South, Bob Lowry responded and went
with The Sixth Mississippi. We
watched hisscareer during that heroic
struggle and he was ever in the front
OF the fight, and when the war ended
he attained the position of brigadier
general-w0n it by gallant conduct.
"The psople OF his district sent hip
to the State Senate, where he did
them great credit. Ames and his
hordes were dominating our people;
Bob Lowry came again to the front,
and at his own expense canvassed the
State from end to end and met on the
stump that giant OF radicalIsm in
Mississippi, Ex-Governor Alcorn, and
so hard did he hit the rascals that lie
gained their hatred to such an extent
that his life was in danger, and he had
to walk the streets Of Jackson with a
double -barreled shotgun in his hand
to protect his life from the murderous
threat OF the followers OF Ames, Nor.
ris and another would-be assassin.
'The people called him higher, and
he served them faithfully and without
blemish for two terms as governor.
Now let the people of our beloved
State round up his political career by
sending him to I'll the seat vacated by
the late Walthall; he can fiji it, and
also restore the prestige Of the days
Of Davis, Brown and Lamar"

THE DOCTORS WONDERFUL
barry.

Philadelphia Record.
There is "A physician in West Phila.
delphia who has a son a year old, and
this baby is probably the strongest
human being for its age and weight
in the world. Its father will hold a
cane In his two hands and the baby,
grasping it, will draw itself up to Its
chin three times, That is but one OF
its numerous feats OF strength. The
physician says that his boys unusual
muscular development is due to daily
massage treatment. Every morning
he lays the little fellow, naked, on a
blanket and kneads his muscles for
thirty minutes. Once a month he
weighs the baby and measures its
calves, chest, arms, etc. The month.
ly increase Of weight and girth is re-
markable. The baby has never had
shoes or stockings on its feet or a hat
ON its head, and in the summer 1t
wears only little sleeveless dress
that comes to its knees.
III nothing goes wrong" the physi-
clan often declares, ''this child will
be the strongest man the world has
ever seen. He will never get bald,
and he will never loose a tooth. AS
for his muscles, with massage and u
course Of exercise that / have laid
out, they will be big and supple all
over his body. All his flesh will be,
when tense, as hard as steel, and when
relaxed as soft as the flesh OF a young
girl" ,A

technically called with unconscious
humOr, allude to the work OF the

tes," ETC., although there is no war.
rant whatever for such charge.
There are certain facts mentioned
in many other OF the news items that
clearly Indicate to the pathologist the
work Of "a common fly" 1t is we'll
known, Of course, to all students Of
insects, that our common house fly,
Musca domestica, Is incapable Of pun
turing the human skin, and that its
proboscis, a habby, weak structure, is
only adapted to sucking up juices, the
human perspiration being, unfortu-
nately for our comfort, a choice It'd
bit in the muscine menu.
There is, however, a second cousin
OF Muscl, who is very differently
armed, and whose well developed pro-
boscis is both a sharp and quickly
welded lance and powerful pump
ing tube, whereby blood is drawn up.
This species, the 'stable fly" Stom-
oxys calcitrans, while remarkably like
the house fly at first sight, may be
1lENb 1guished from it by the manner
6f holding the wings rather more
spread apart, when at rest, and by the
more slender, straight and rigid pro-
boscis. On close examination also,
The color pattern of4the thorax will
be seen TO be quite different from any
species Of Musca. Stomoxys is a ia
nous tormenter OF cattle, well know
ing the thinner points where their
hides may be pierced, and it has for
them, what it retains when attacking
man, a fOndness for easily reached
surfaces of the mucous membrane.
The inner curve of the lips being the
most accessible point OF that sort, it
is we'll entitled by its fondness for
biting in that locality to the name Of
the kissing fly. The Larvae of Stom.
Oxys live in fresh horse manure, and
the adult insect spends much of its
time, according to its sex, fn either
slipping moisture from that substance
or in laying eggs therin. 1t thus
comes that its habits hardly tit it for
human and especially not for auscul-
tory companionslliD. Fortunately,
St0mOXys is not very common visi-
tant to our homes, although it is a
species that is excessively common
and multiplies by thousands. 1t pre-
fers stables and COW yards, and only
before heavy storms and late in the
fall, when seeking shelter from cold
nights, is it usually to be observed in
dwellings. There Is great diversity
OF opinion among those who have
rather hastily studied it's habits, as to
the danger OF its bite, as there is OF
that of its near relative, Glossina
morstans, the celebrated and dread
ed "Tsetze" fly OF Africa, which is
charged with frequently killing cat
tie. This difference OF opinion is
doubtless due to the fact that here,
again, we have to do with a acrcature
devoid OF any poison OF its own, but
dependent on outside agencies for the
troubles it occasionally causes. Hence
it comes that one specimen, fresh
from some germ-ladcn repast, carries
disease, perhaps death, within its pro-
boscis, while another, innocent or such
infection, causes nothing worse than a
painful puncturc Of the flesh.
