SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE.
More Testimony in the coehIss HoId-u


 tFrom the Tombstone Prospector.l
 Burt Alvord and Vim Downing had their preliminary hearing before Jus tice Shuster this afternoon on the charge of train robbery.
 The testimony for the prosecution again developed sensational feature adding another surprise to the link of evidence that is being produced in this case.
 The testimony as brought ont on Wednesday in the U. $. cases against the same two prisoners was in effect reproduced. W. N. Stiles, the con- fesseo train robber, recounted the same story as published in the ros- pector, seriously duplicating Aiyord and Downing as conspirators and ab. bettors in the Cochise hold-up. The new testimony not heretofore heard and which also proved some- what sensational was that of Felix Mayhew, who testified that he was to be one of party who were to hold-up the & P. train at Benson some 8 or 10 days prior to the hold-up at Cochise. Mayhew testified that Alvord, Down. ing, Matt Burts, Stiles and himself contemplated holding up the train at Benson. Arrangements had been made and Downing was to be a mem Der of the hold.up crew. Later he de- cided to remain in Wilcox and May hew was to take his place. After little reconnoitering the party decid- ed that it would not be advisable to hold up the train at Benson and the plan was abandoned.
 From that time on Mayhew was no longer consulted by the rest of the party. Being ignored, he was not "in" on the Cochise hold-up and did not know of the hold-up until it occurred. The time between the contemplated holdup at Benson and that of Cochise was about or 10 days.
 During Mayhew's testimony Down. ing made an indignant protest by pro- fanely exclaiming that the witness was liar. He was rapped to order by the court.

Still More counterfeltina.

The Secret Service has unearthed an other band of fcounterfeiters andsecured large quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly executed that the aver age person would never suspect .hem of being spurious. Things of great value are always selected by counter feiters for imitation, notably the cele- brated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which has many imitators but no equals for indigestion, dyspepsia, con stipation, nervousness and general debility. The Bitters sets things right in the stomach, and when the stomach is in good order it makes good blood and plenty of it. In this manner the Bitters get at the seat of strength and vitality, and restore vigor to the weak and facilitated. Beware of counter feits when buying.

A MODEL GOVERNMENT.
In New Zealand There IL No Place
for Trusts or Combines.

for Trusts or Combines.
New Zealand is setting an exam
pie that is scarcely less than scan
dalous in its socialistic leanings, says
the Sacramento Bee. Statesmen like
Senator Hanna must regard with
distinct apprehension the effect Of
New Zealand's experiments upon the
plutocratic interests in this country.
The first great heresy in the Gov
ernment of that distant land is that
legislation should be so directed that
there shall be neither millionsires
nor paupers. The result is that
wealth is more generally diffused
than in any other large country.
This is partly due to the land laws,
which stop speculative holdings, by
system of graduated taxation and
in other ways. Another means is
the loaning of money by the Gov
ernment, on the security of land, at
low interest. This has led to the in
dependence of the farmers from
money lenders.
Old age pensions, State life in
surance. National ownership of rail-
roads, telegraph and telephone lines,
progressive income tax, compul-
sorry arbitration in labor disputes,
and strict civil service system
these are among the dangerous and
revolutionary innovations which re-.
strict in New Zealand the natural
right of all men to become million
aires.
Before this radical programme was
set in operation by misguided enthu.
siasts one man in four was q holder
of farming land, while now one man
in two holds such land. There seem
to be no Trusts, and. in fact, the OPP
portunities for capital to secure
monopoly of any kind seem to have
been all taken away by the leyeling
tendencies of the people.
1t is actually said that O telegraph

land distance of 1000 miles at a
cost of twelve cents. The result of
this ridiculous cheapness is that
nearly four times as many messages
per head are sent in that country as

Nevada's population is liable to
greatly increase in the next few
years. A great mineral belt runs
across Nevada, which is SO far from
railroad facilities that it has not yet
been much explored. Cheap and
quick communication with it will
soon be made, and then we shall see
an activity there which has not been
seen since the Comstock went into

mineral States Of the Union. as will
soon be demonstrated. Meanwhile,
