al particulars in regard to the wonder ful Magnetic Cactus recently dis covered in the Ripsey country. The following letter will fully explain it. self:
 DAGGER WELL,
 Near Ripsey Mine,
 Feb. 9th, 1899. Editor FLORENCE TRIBUNE:
 The magnetic cactus you wrote about in last weeks TRIBUNE is a species of the Giant Sahuara. It is found in many places between Casa Grande and Florence, between Flor ence and Mesa and between Florence and Riverside.
 There Is a belt of the earth within radius of fifty miles of Florence that is very magnetic, no doubt caused by vast beds of copper or some other magnetic mineral that underlies it all, and this species of Cactus from its fibrous nature acts like 8 telegraph instrument to receive and discharge the earth's vast surplus of magnetism, not required by the moons and suns magnetic attraction.
 All the Magnetic Cactn in this neighborhood are either positive or negative. One attracts; the other repels.
 Two tramps passing along the road just above Donnelly's few nights ago took refuge under a bunch of this cactus.
 One of the men was at once drawn up to and impaled on the sharp blades of the cactus, while it's octopus-like arms folded around him crushing him through and into the cactus, where his blood, flesh and bones turned into pulp very much like ordinary mucilage, which trickled out slowly from the aperture made by the passing in of the mans body.
 The cactus loses it's magnetic power while it is digesting it's victim. So we were enable to look at this wonderful yet gruesome sight and report these particulars.
 Our party consisted of some of the best known and most responsible citi- zens of Pinal county-James Elder, well-known mining man of Riverside, and Clay Hockett, now of Florence; Az F. Barker, w. Y. Price, ex-District Attorney Sniffen, Wm. Truman, John Heating, Geo. Truman, Tom Peyton, Pete Brady and Lem Drais.
 The body of the other tramp was repelled by the negative cactus aud thrown about one hundred feet dis tant against positive magnetic cactus where it underwent similar proc csss to the one just described.
 We left the sickening scene with sad hearts and with nothing to identify the victims. After and jus. before 3 great storm the attractive or repellant power of the cactus is indescribable. Calves. birds and young colts are at traeted, impaled, drawn iu and quickly converted by the digestive juices of the cactus into the thick mucilageuous substance just deseribed.
 There is very little travel through this wild section of Arizona, or this species of cactii would have been written about sooner.
 Yours truly,
 Jog MULHATToS.

Sam Jones on Bryan.

Hopkinsville, Ky, Feb. 4.-The Rev. Sam P. Jones, who has been conduct ing revival here. has succeeded in stirring up regular hornets nest by an attack on Vim. J. Bryan. Hop kinsville is a free silver center, and while the people were already smart ing last week under Jones' sharp criti. cisms of the town, he capped the climax by criticising Mir. Bryan. Re told them that prosperity had returned, and then said:
 'I like Bryan. He is a good man, honest and talented, and one of the most genial gentleman I ever knew. But did not vote for him. Bryan is nearly 40 years old and pays only S taxes. Now, fellow who can't man. age his own affairs any better thar that hasn't any business fooling with the finances of the nation"
 Mayor James NJ. Lang, of Paducah who wired to Lincoln, Neb., for the facts, sent the following telegram giy ing a statement of Mir. Bryan's taxes for three years, as furnished by the sheriff of his county:
 Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 28.-To J. M. Lang, Paducah, Ky: Year 'o6, $235 's7, $241.ss; '9S, $322.77. None outside that know of.

The Opera Boure at Renues


What travesty is that which passes
In France for the administration Of
justice, particularly military justice.
but for the stern clements Of tragedy
In the Dreyfus case one might think
that comic opera was being enacted
at Ecnnes rather than the trial of one
of the most momentous cases in mod
ern history. From an Anglo-Saxon
point Of view the whole proceeding has
been 4 mere opera boufTe, the absurd
ity OF which nobody but Frenchman
could fail to appreciate. Little, IL any,
proof has been offered by the prOsecu-
tion touching the vital question under
consideration. One so called witness
after another has harangued the court
In a graudilOquent manner declaring
his hatred Of the prisoner and his con-
viction Of his guilt, but scarcely q
relevant fact has been added to the
record Of the case by them. In legal
ly civilized country these witnesses
would not be permitted to go one or
two sentences without having their
testimony objected to and ruled out as
irrelevant and immaterial. There have
been two particularly and conspicuous
ly irrelevant and outrageous witnesses,
MERCER and Roget, one an ex-minister
of war the other general high in
rank. The attitude Of the latter on the
witness stand was particularly con-
temptible, attempting in every SEN
tence to eXasperate beyond his self
control a necessarily tongue tied man.
If Dreyfus had drawn a revolver and
shot him, he would have been enthusi-
ast1cally acquitted In a frontier com
munity, where there is more element
airy human sense Of justice than in the
French republic.
