DUG HIS OWN GRAVE
How They Do Business Roundabout
NdCO

A few days ago, reports the Tucson
paper, one of the guards stationed on
the international border at Naco was
shot and killed by fellow guard. The
men quarreled while playing cards and
the man who was killed was power
fully built fellow while his assailant
was small in stature.
The man who did the killing was
marched out of Naco the next day with
a number of guards with him as an es-
cort. He was compelled to dig grave
and the guards then placed their erst-
while companion on the edge of the
hole and at q given signal aIl fired.
The body of the man fell into the grave
and justice in Mexico was melted out.
A mining man who was In Naco at
the time came to Tucson and reported
the affair. He said that the whole
thing took place so quietly that the
people of the little border town hardly
knew that any thing had happened.

up. Fortunately, a friend advised
trying Electric Bitters;' and to my
great JOY and surprise. the first bottle
made a decided improvement. l con-
tinued their use for three weeks, and
am now a well man. 1 know they saved
my life, and robbed the grave OF an
other victim. "No one should fail to
try them. Only Scots, guaranteed, at

The Three Americas Railroad
Philadelphia Inquirer.

Phi adelph1a Inquirer.
Frederic Emory, formerly Directc I
| of the Bureau of the American Repub-
lies, has punlishe d q the Conservative
Review an earnest appeal for a strong
argument in favor of the great inter-
to connect North, Central and
South America. The present is the
best time that could possibly be chosen
for bring iug the matter once more be-
fore the attention of the public.
American expansion, plans laid for
traps-isthmian canal in SouthernCen-
trail America, and the renewed inter-
est that we are taking in South Amer
lea trade, should help along any agita
ton in favor of the project For some
years the matter has dragged, so far
as the public is concerned, though in
reality much has been done toward
making the great enterprise possible.
The time was when the suggestion
for an inter- American railroad was
received with jeers and laughter. The
laugh is on the other eide now, how
roads in this country and the gigantic
enterprise of Russia in her Siberian
roads have shown that the engineering
features of such line are surmountable.
Cecil Rhodes undertaking in Africa,
whereby he intends to unite Cairo with
the Cape by narrow thread of steel
rails, is more stupendous effort than
this would ever be. There the road
runs through wild aud unsettled treats
of country, while here it would pass
from one settled district to another.
There the trade is all dream of the
future, here the trade is ready for the
road.
The main reason why the inter-
American road is not built to-day is
that instead Of traversing the territory
of one government, as in the case of
Russia's enterprise, it would be COM
PEELED to pass throgh several countries,
the governments of which are jealous
and suspicious OF each other. If these
suspicious could be allayed the line
would be put through in compare
lively short space of time. The road is
needed: 1t would encourage and
increase trade in manner that pre-
sent conditions do not promise: it
would enable closer Interchange of
thought and acquaintance between
this country aud our neighbors, and it
would solve many of the vexed pro-
blems of travel in that direction.

The board of education will meet to-

zee 70 whom was referred the matter of
the $4,000 mond issue will make a re-
port.
In all probability this report will not
recommend that the issue of $50, 900, re-

mas been raised. will be abandoned. A
membe of the board stated to-day that
after careful consideration he had
reached the conclusion that the alleged
defect was not at all vital.
"The question: he continued, twill be
carried up to the Supreme court as speed
lily as possible, and I believe that body
will hold the issue to be perfectly legal.
If such a ruling is made, Mr.. Davis, THE
purchaser, will willingly take the bonds
and that will be an end to the matter.

need is pressing, too, and If this $780, 00
is not available everything will have to
wait for "a year. That is the reason why
the issue of $3.50, 900 that has been talked
of cannot take the place of the present
issue. I strongly using this sum

A New York dispatch to the Financial
News says: 1t has been declared that a
number OF shareholders have started a
movement to get at the facts concerning
1.-THE Amalgamated Copper but
the report has not yet been confirmed.
A director of the company said that HI
believed that the stockholders were sat-
listed with the present management, and
that talk of an investigation for the
purpose of disclosing the operations of
the company was absurd. He believed
rumors of this character a been cir
culated for manipulative purposes.
A banker, who appears to be pretty
we'll posted regarding the affairs of THE
Amalgamated Copper company, said that
he was of the opinion that the Boston
& Montana, the Anaconda, the Butte &
Boston, the Parrot, Washoe and Utah
companies, all of which are controlled
by the Amalgamated Copper company,
had entered into a contract with the lat
ter corporation On a selling basis of IL
cents a pound for their output. The
Amalgamated gets what profits it can
over the IL cents. This is exclusive of
the profit derived by the company
through its proprietary interest in the
various mining companies.
