How He Obtained Quiet.

At one of the meetings during Mr..
Moody's services In Kansas City hymn
sheets were distributed by the ushers
just previous to his address He was
feeling very tired, and speaking was
great exertion; So fearing the noise
that would result should the audience
rustic them. he resolved to get rid of
them. He called out, viii everybody
who has hymn sheet hold it up?"
The sheets were held up all over the
hall. Mr.. Moody shouted. Now shake
themw
Twelve thousand timsy sheets of pa
per were shaken vigorously. They
made an indescribably musical sound
There Is nothing to compare it with.
One can only say 1t was vast rustic.
"That will do" called Mr. Moody at
the top of his voice. The sound ceased.
'All right" said Mr.. Moody. Now sit
on those hymn sheets" The audience
sat on them. Having taken this pre-
caution against interruption, Mr.. Moo
dy began his sermon.

Good News from Washington.
IFrom tho Los Angeles Times.I

Encouraging news comes from Wash ington to those who have been fight ing the battle for national irrigation of the arid lands owned by the govern ment. On Wednesday both houses of Congress agreed to an item in the Sun dry Civil Bill ppropriating $100, ,000 for irrigation surveys during the coming year. It is true that the amount is not large. The amount of $50, ,000 had been allowed by the House, which sum was increased to $250, 900 in the Senate, and the amount appropriated was a compromise between the two figures. This is twice as much as was allowed last year, and the encouraging state ment is made by the Washington correspondent of The Times that throughout the controversy "no man appeared and objected to the appro- priation in toto." The correspondent adds:
 "There is every indication that a much larger appropriation can be secured next session if the western folks who are vitally interested iD the matter will make themselves felt in the proper way in Washington. East ern opposition to western irrigation is gradually wearing away through the influence of the National Irrigation Association, which has its membership largely in the East"
 The statement in regard to the mem bership of the National Irrigation As sociation is in line with one made a few days ago in these columns, when it was mentioned as regrettable fact that eastern business men are actually taking more interest in this movement than are citizens of the South west, who are so vitally interested. This is not as it should be. With Ia strong pull long pull and pull all together, 2 national irrigation may within few years become an accomplished fact when not only will Uncle Sam once more be able to give all his boys { good farm, but Q great stimulus vii also be given to our commerce ana manufactures.

PLANS FOR NEW RAILROAD.
to Connect With Pacific and Gulf
 of Mexico.
LFrom the PhoenIx HeraId.l


 If plans now in preparation do not go wrong, the American, Mexican < Pa- cific railway will be built, giving Phoe- nix port on the Pacific ocean, open ing rich mining and agricultural coun- try and forming direct connection between the Santa Fe and the South ern Pacific railroads with the Mexican Central and the Gulf of Mexico ports. For several days Mrs. L. J. Velasquez Beard. one of the chief promoters of the line, has been in Phoenix, and to a reporter last night she outlined the plan. She states that the northern terminus of the road will be in this city and the southern at Banderos bay. The Arizona line will go through Mar icopa, Pinal, Pima and Santa Cruz counties, touching Tucson and Flor ence, with branch line to Deming, and crossing the line twenty miles east of Nogales. Here the road is to go through the states of Sonora, Sinaloa, Jalisco aed Topic, via Arizpe, Alamos, TopoloDambo bay, AItata, Culiacan, Mazatlan, San Bias and hence to Banderos bay, where a harbor with depth of 100 feet may be obtained. Here the line can connect with the Mexican Central, giving access to the City of Mexico, Tampico, Vera Cruz and to Guatemala via the 0axica & Te- hauntepec railway.
 Mrs. Beard says that $S4 ,000. .000 in German and Holland capital is back of the Mexican end and that conces- sions from the Mexican government have been secured for virtually all of the line Incorporation papers have been filed for the Arizona part of the road. The capital stock is 5000, 900 and the incorporators are w. W. Will jams, s. ". Purcell, NJ. c. Samaniego, Il. II. Filling, J. L. ober, John Gard finer, J. L. Powell of Tucson, o. P.

Mrs. Beard is of the belief that practi- cal work will be commenced in few months and the road be in operation within thirty months.

The New River Murders.

A week ago last Thursday Olsen and Stewart were murd4e8 lat New River station, thirty-fve miles north of Phoe.i niv, on the Black canyon road, and the murderers (four Mexicans) have been trailed into Pinal cou nty. Sheriff Murray was here Monday, and on that day he and Sheriff Truman with their deputies went to Mineral Creek to "eut sign" It was found that two of the supposed murderers had come into Mineral Creek, and the officers are now on their trail. Concerning the identity of the outlaws the Republican says:
 There is little doubt now that the "short, heavy set man of the four'' is Chaeon, the murderer of twenty men and women, the leader of the slaugh- tering band. A photograph of him was shown yesterday to Van Kirk. t he peddler, who saw the four before the murder of last Thursday, and warned the station keepers. He was asked if he had ever seen anybody that looked like the photograph. He re- piled that was the man he saw last Thursday.
 Porterie offers another possible the ory regarding the identity of the mur- derers of Olsen and Stewart. He had just returned from mining trip above Wiekenburg, and said that an attempt was made last Friday, the day follow ing the murder, to hold up the Wick enburg and O'Brien stage. Two Mexicans riding mules and armed with both Winchesters and revolvers stood at each side of the road as the stage came down the hill. As the stage approached. and they saw the driver was not alone. but accompanied by four miners. one of the Mexicans crossed the road and they both rode hastily down the gulch.
 One of them was recognized by miner as Lueero, who ID urdered Stan ton some years ago, and the other was believed to be Blumer, who killed the Austrian storekeeper at Weaver some months ago.
 Mir. Porterie believes it possible that these are the men, or least part of the gang, who participated in the killing of Olsen and Stewart.

Printinu Without Ink.

A company has been formed to con trol the process of printing without ink, by using electricity and chemically prepared paper. In short time, it is expected, this innovation will be com pletely introduced, and old methods revolutionized. There is one thing however that has resisted all innova- tions; that is Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters, which has many imitators, but no equals as a cure for stomach, liver and bowel troubles. This peerless. remedy has been the standard medicine of the American people for the past fifty years. It is a wonderful medicine for dyspepsia, indigestion, biliousness, in- somnia, constipation and nervousness. It also prevents malaria, fever and ague. It keeps the stomach in good condition, and the bowels regular. Try it, and you will not be disappointed. w WANTED Honest man or woman to travel

A Horrible Crime.
tFrom the Mesa Free Presa.l

Last Monday, 0. A. Young was arrested on charge of rape and incest and locked up. He had 8 hearing be- fore Justice J. H. Pomeroy last We'd nesday and pleaded guilty to having had improper relations with his l5-year- old daughter Katie for the past three years. He was bound over to the grand jury.
 During the examination it also de- velopeG. that the eldest son was equal ly guilty, and warrant has been is sued for his arrest, but he took the evening train for Tucson, and no doubt is in Old Mexico by this time.
 Young is about 45 years of age, is a degenerate, and reininds one consider ably of brute. He is possessed of a very low degree of intelligence and is very illiterate.
 The community was intensely dis gusted and had it not been law abiding 1t is doubtful if the prisoner would have escaped lynching. He is now in the county jail awiting the action of the grand jury.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way tocure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is cured by an infiamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inAamed you have q rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be de- stroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by eatarrh, which is noth- ing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
