Mr.. ID. Is. Horton Tells His Experience
i'm the Regular Army In Arizona.
D. B. Horton of this city gave an in
teresting description of Indian War
fare or Three Years in the Regular
Army in Arizona" at the Berkeley
Mems club last evening at the City
Mission hall.
Mr. Horton has had an extended ex-
perience in soldering, having enlisted
for the civil war when seventeen years
old, serving through that war and en-
countering all the vicissitudes of army
life Scarcely two years after the close
of the war he enlisted again, this time
as a regular soldier With Arizona for
his destination, he was shipped with his
comrades to Graytown on the Panama
coast There they rowed ashore through
the surf and up the San Juan, encoun-
terng shoals and rapids on the way. A
march over the mountains brought
I them to the Pacific coast, whence they
sMailed for the Golden Gate of San Fran
cisco. The march on foot was then de-
scrHbed, through nearly eight hundred
milesS of wild and desert country, where
stops could be made only at the water
holes along the route.
The Great American Desert was
crossed. where the mirage was ia
gniliar but wonderful spectacle. Through
into Arizona, which was then owned by
Mexico, the company marched to Tue
son and near that city pitched camp
which they called Camp Grant. The
country there is barren, covered with
cacti and thorny shrubs, and the in
habitants live in unfinished adobe
houses. The heat is intense and cloth
ing worn is scanty, being confined to
breech-clouts for the men and kind
of chemisette worn by the women. The
marvellous patience with which the peo-
ple sit in their unroofed adobe churches
under a broiling tropical sun through
their religious services was noted.
The monotony of camp life in this
arid region was broken by occasional
scouting parties sent out into the ada
cent country. Mr.. Horton described
the equipment of such an expedition,

DANGEROUS BRIDGE BUILDING.
Perils Attending a Work Now Going on
at Niagara Falls.

1t is doubtful if a more dangerous
and interesting piece of bridge con-
struction has ever been done at Nj
agara Falls than the bilding of the new
concrete arches between the main land
and Goat Island. The point where OPP
erations are being conducted is right
over the upper rapids, where the waters
dash furiously, as though hungry to
sweep human being down through the
rapids and over the American fall. The
interesting work is only 500 feet back
from the brink over which so many
have been hurled to DEATH and the
workmen have to use the greatest care
that they may not fall into the forty
mile current of the fascinating waters

NEVER TOO LATE.
To Try a Gooa Thing.

I am fffty-two years old, and for forty years of that time I have been a chronic catarrh sufferer, says MT. James Gieshing of Allegheny City; with every change of weather my head and throat would be stuffed up with catarrhal mucus.
 I could not beathe naturally through the nostrils for months together and much of the time I suffered from catarrh of the stomach. Finally my hearing began 10 fail and I realized something must be done.
 I tried inhalers and sprays and salves which gave me temporary relief, and my physician advised me to spray or douche with Peroxide of Hydrogen. But the ca- tarrh would speedily return in a few days and I became thoroughly discouraged
 had always been prejudiced against pat ent medicines, but as every thing else had failed 1 felt justified in at least making a trial.
 Our good old family physician, Dr, Rams dell, laughed at me little, but said if I was determined to try patent med icines he would advise me to begin with Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, because he knew what they contained, and he had heard of several remarkable cures resulting from their use, and furthermore that they were erfectly safe, containing no cocaine or opiates.

 The next day I bought a fifty cent box at a drug store, carried it in my pocket and four or five times a day l would take a tablet; in less than week l felt a mark ed improvement which continued until at this time I am entirely free from any trace of catarrh
 My head is clear, my throat free from ir- ritation, my hearing is as good as it ever was and I feel that I cannot say enough in praise of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
 These tablets contain extract of Eucalyp- tus bark, Guaiacol, blood root and other valuable anti-septics combined in pleasant tablet form and it is safe to say that Stu arts Catarrh Tablets are far supperior in convenience, salty and effectiveness to the antiquated treatment by inhalers, sprays and douches.
 They are sold by druggists everywhere in the United States and Canada.

WAS UP BRIGHT AND EARLY
Telegrams of Congratulation from All Sections of the Country Old Friends Called-The Party Left
 Canton at 1:3O O'clock

Canton, o, November 7.-President Me Kinley was up and about at an early hour this morning, after a few hours respite from the excitement of last night An army of messengers soon began pouring in bring ing messages of congratulations from friends. and neighbors gathered to extend felcitations. The President breakfasted at s clock with Mrs. Mckinley and Secre- tary Cortelyou, and then went to the li- brary, where he ran over the morning papers and listened to the dispatches as MT. Cortelyou picked them from the thous- ands received from all quarters of the country and world.
 The President took early occasion to an- swer Governor Roosevelt's congratulatory message. Senator Hanna and many of his associates of the Union Club of Cleveland joined in message expressing their satis- faction.

CONTINUOUS OVATION.
Crowds Greet the Party on Trip to
 Washington.

Pittsburg, Pa, November 7.-President McKinley's trip from Canton to Washing ton had a continual ovation. At every stop there have been great outpourings of the people, business has been suspend ed and many factories along the line have added their thousands of workers men and women, to those who have joined in enthusiastic demonstrations. The Presi- dent appeared at each stop, shaking hands rom the rear platform and making short speeches at the most important towns.
 The start from Canton was made at :35 D. m amid the boom of cannon, the screech of steam whistles and the well wishes of the Presidents townspeople.
 The President made his first speech when the train arrived at Alliance. Workmen from the potteries at Sebring came in their aprons, bearing transparencies showing their majorities
 The President was greeted by loud cheers. He said:
 My Fellow Citizens: l observe that ma- jorities rise with prosperity and that the American people never fail to support the flag l thank you and bid you good after noon."
 Next the train stopped at Sebring, a new town, with great potteries. Business was suspended and the workmen had big banner, which announced:
 Sebrlng, four to one for Mckinley"
 The President waved acknowledgements.
 At Salem.
 In the big factory town of Salem a vast concourse of people lined the tracks A huge broom draped with yellow ribbons was car Tied at the head of the procession. A young woman kept crying Bryan" in defiant tones, but her voice was faint amid the din The President said:
 You are here to celebrate a victory yon pl rtxr hut htr of all parties. l go back to my public duties encouraged by your confidence but deep- ly conscious of the grave responsibilities which the election of yesterday imposes upon me can ask of my countrymen their sympathy and support in the great prob lems and l am sure that all of Us will humby petition the guidance of that Divine Ruler, who has never failed this govern ment through all its viclssitudes from it's beginning to the present hour"
 At Leetonia and Columbiana there were like outbursts, crowds besieging the Presi- dents car. No speeches were made. A driz- zling rain began to fall, but this did not deter big crowds from turning out at East Palestine, Enon Valley and New Brighton. At Rochester 5000 people braved the rain and darkness, and gave an enthusiastic Welcime to the President during the mo- mentary stop.
 It was pretty dark when the train reached Allegheny but big crowd was in waiting, and delegation headed by Mayor Diehl of Pittsburg and Mayor Wyman of Alegheny clambored aboard They were received by the President and warm greet ings were exchanged. Meantime, the crowds outside were hurrahing, and the President bowed his acknowledgement. Owing to ex- tensive depot changes it was thought to be risky to stop the train in the midst of a great crowd there so the Presidentia cars were detached and run to the suburb of Shady Side, thus avoiding possible dan ger, but disappointing those who had gath cred to give hearty. greetings

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
 GAME IN BIRMINGHAM

For the first time in several years Bir- minham is to have a game of first class college football. The teams from Auburn and the University of Tennessee will meet on the North Birmingham gridiron next Saturday afternoon.
 The announcement of the coming contest came as a surprise as the college men in the city were unaware that negotiations for such big game were in progress Manager Nixon of Auburn was Ill the city Tuesday and made all necessary arrange ments for the great battle of long-haired giants.
 As to the relative strength of the two teams it Is conceded that the Alabama men are in superior form to the Tennessee ans. The two colleges have faced each other on the grid iron before and the Ten nesseeans have each time been defeated.
 It is expected that a large crowd will witness the game. Birmingham has never been educated to first class college foot ball, but there are many old students in the city who are eager to witness the sport. The University of Alabama and Clemsau College South Carolina) teams will play here on Thanksgiving day.
