PROVED HIMSELF ELIGIBLE.

Thomas A. Wise, who will create the principal comedy role in George H. Broadhursts new farce, "The House that Jack Built" told the following sto- ry in New York the other day of his first meeting with the author: Wise was in the Bohemian club, San Fran cisco, one evening, when a man stepped up to him and asked: MT. Wise?'
 Yep ''NIy names Broadhurst. I want you to do something for mo. Will you?" Certainly" All right You know Smith?" Smith isn't his name. but hes enc of San Francisco's well know business men and bon vivants.) Yep" "WoH. he leaves his office eye ry day at a quarter to and walks to the club. I want you to take your grip, meet Smith between the club and his office and tell him you're going to Los. Angeles on the o'clock train. See" Thn get rid of your grip and meet me at the club at 3 o'clock precisely. Un- derstand?'' Yep" And you'll do it?" Sure" At ten minutes to Smith walked into the club. At five minutes to Broaahurst appe ared. Tom Wise around?" asked Broadhurst. No" said Smith, Ines gone to Los Angeles" You must be mistaken. I had an ap- pointment with him here at o'clock" Well. he won't keep it." "Oh, guess he will; he never failed me yet" 'I tell you he's going 10 Los angeles on the , o'clock train.' The upshot of it was that Smith offered to bet two bottles that Wise would not appear. The bot ties were opened as the clock struck ,. Mr. Smith smiled in anticipated triumph as he raised his glass, only to see MT. Wise walk in. The point of the story is this: The innermost circle of the Bohemian club is a society called The Cheerful Workers" whose object is the obtaining of free drinks. Smith

trolley is the main explanation offe red It is said to have caused a great rush to the suburbs. In many cases facto- ries have been removed several miles up the neighboring valleys and carried their working forces along. By tSts means more space and better railway facilities have been secured.
 In Washington 1t is also stated that the recent growth of population is at least two miles from the old centers. and reaches off well into the country. The trolley causes rapid material changes in city and country life. Even the submerged tenth may spread and get more sunlight and fresh air Though the cities that have heard from the census takers thus far are deeply disappointed, their real area has been greatly broadened. The man who lives ten, fifteen or twenty miles out is practically a part of the community though he may not count in the city census. In some respects corp5ration lines are as imaginary as the equator Perhaps a little census humble pie for the cities will be beneficial. So much has been written or how to keep the young men in the rural districts that the trolley ought O have some credit for it's alleged work in that direction.- St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Yes August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civ ilized world. Your mothers and grand mothers never thought of using any thing else for Indigestion or Bilious ness. Doctors Were scarce and they seldom heard of Appendiciti-.

EXPLANATION BY GEN. FUNSTON.
Why He Hanged Two Filipinos Last
 April Without Trial.

During the early part of April some startling stories carce into Manila re garling the summary hanging of two natives near San Isidro by Gen Fun stoa. It was said that no trial had been given them. and that there was d like lihood of an investiga ti5n, which might result in cOurt-martial. Since then have learned that Gen. McArthur in command of the division in which Gen. Funston is serving. has given his un- qualified approval of the course taken. and that Gen. Otis has also approved Of it.
 In order to obtain a correct story of the incident, which has an interest as being the first of its kind. l have got Gen. Funston's story of it. He had just returned from a scouting trip. and ex- pressed himself as being glad to com ply with my request for the facts re- Garding the hanging of the two natives on March 2.
 There was at that time on duty with my brigade one of the companies of Col. Wilder's regiment of Macabebes. and while the company was out hunt Ing insurgents three of the men had been left sick in the hospital at san Isidro. These men had recovlred suffi- ciently to be discharged from the hospi- tai, but had not yet been able to join their comand. On the evening of March 26 they were walking without their arms along one of the streets of San IsidrO when they were seized by about twenty men. armed anly with bolos and reVolvers. their arms piniOnld behind them. and they were hurried to the town of Gapen. where they were held over night in a house.

 Many other dark deeds have been connected with the island but it has recently passed into the possession of q company that has commenced the erection of d sawmill for the purpose of cutting the timber and clearing the land and putting it under cultivation. Much interest is manifested in this work as it goes on, for it is thought that in cutting down the giant rees and is clearing off the land where so many dark deeds have been committed evidence will appear that will throw light upon many mysteries which sur round the spot.

NEWS OF TURQUOISE
One of the Coming Camps of Southern
 Arizona.

W. Kline. the local merchant. who returned from Turquoise, says that camp is prosperous and growing rapid ly. Carpenters have plenty to do on the numerous buildings that are going up. and labor generally is well employed
 Godkins and Durand have struck a big body of ore in their mine. They opened up a cave of rich ore. The cop per and silver values so far are very great. and the prospect is one of the most promising ones of the camp.
 w. Kline has located two claims which he calls Bisbee No. 1 and Bisbee No. ?. He will proceed to thoroughly test the claims by proper development.
 Ben Frankenburg, of this town, and M. Newman. who visited Turquoise the other day staked out three very good looking claims which they expect to work very soon.
 Miss Riley is building a house 45X75 feet.
 Wm. Kline is erecting a building for the saloon business. It is quite an ex- tensive building. being 36X1S feet
 The restaurant owned by MT. Kline has been rented to an experienced res taurant keeper.
 A new saloon has started in a build ing 40X20 feet.
 A first-class barber shop has been es- tablished and is well patronized.
 A substantial residence is going uD containing six rooms.
 Things are fairly quiet and good or der is preserved as a rule. There was. however, a scrap the other day. when a shot gun was fired, but no damage done. A drunk occa stoned the row.
 Altogether Turquoise is the coming mining camp and will before long be a pOpulous and prosperous city.-Cochise E view

ing at daybreak they were hurried by an unfrequented trail toward the noun tains.
 II was just coming in from an eleven days scouting in the mountains. with Capt. KoeEler and his troop of the 4th cavalry. and by chance met the outfit in tho trail just outside enc of the bar rios of Gapen. In the confusion one of the prisoners, who had his arms tied behind him, broke away, and running to me hastily explained the situation In Spanish. at he same time indicating the direction in which most of the band had fed when they saw us. We quickly ran them down and killed three with our reVOlvers and retOOk the other two prisoners. but not until both of them had been badly boloed. The men who were attempting to kill the two pris- oners to prevent their rescue were caught red handed in the act, and sur rendered. evidently thinking they would be treated as prisoners of war.
 Tn view of the fact that they had. in 'amig9 clothing come within our line and kidnaped three men wearing the uniform of the United States, and that in order 70 prevent the escape of these men they had brutally cut and hacked them, both acts gross violations of the laws of civilized warfare. I determined to make an impressive example of them and so took them up into the barrie in the vicinity of their crime. called to- gether some of the residents to witness the affair, and publicly executed both men by hanging. l immediately re- ported the affair in all it's details. by wire. to my superior officer.

THE CENSUS AND THE TROLLEY.

fcial census return, and Cincinnati is amazed. Washington's growth in ten years has been only a fraction over 20 per cent. The growth in Cincinnati since 1890 has been 2S,994, or less than 10 per cent. But even this is deceptive. for five villages with a population of 1S,700, have been annexed since the last census. The net Cincinnati increase in the decade has, therefore, been only 10, 294 or less than per cent. Cincin- natl expected at least 3OOOO more, and

MYSTERIES OF DARK ISLAND.
A Place of Many Dsappearances That
 Is to Be Cleared Up.


 A large wooded island in the Missouri river. that has been the scene of many bloody deeds during the last three quarters of a century, is about to be converted to the use of civilized man by having a large sawmill erected upon t. In early days it was known to the whites as Dark Island.I The history of this name is not definitely known, but it is thought by old settlers that it may have acquired the name from tha fact either that it is heavily wooded and therefore dark and gloomy as com pared with the oHen plains of either side of the river, or, IhOre probably. that it was the scene of some dark deed.
 It was on this island that two Jesuit missionaries lost their lives in 1Si5. They had come out to work among the Indians, and had crossed over to the island to consult White Eagle. a pow erful Sioux chief who lived there. This was the last seen of them Some Years afterward the Indians of this tribe used to display two white mems scaIps with i'ASo pie'NN lI'A4i anu II lS lilpuSlll llit'y were taken from the two Frenchmen. few years afterward emigrants found this a convenient place to cross the Missouri, but nothing was ever heard of them after they reached the island
 In lS93 at the time when the federal government was converting the Rose bud reservation into organized coun- ties, Frank Phelps occupied this island At this time Mot Watson. a Swede. who lived on the west bank of the river. di- recty opposite Phelps shanty was murdered in front of his own door. Henry Schroeder. who was at that time employed by Phelps in cutting wood for the steambOats, was accused of the crime. He was arrested and confessed his part in the murder. but implicated Phelps as the instgatOr of the crime Schroeder is now serving the seventh year of a life sentence in the pcniten tiary at Sioux Falls.
 Phelps was arrested, and in tho long trial that followed spent all that he was worth, including the island. in try ing the secure his freedom. He was found guilty. however. and was sen fenced to life imprisonment. He ap- pealed his case to the supreme court, and on the very day on which the opin- ion of that court was handed down af- firming the decision of the lower court

"OLD HOME WEEK"

Initiated by New Hampshire and sec onded by Maine, the "O!d Home Week" seems to be taking firm root as an an nual observance in the New England states.
 Those states have been in a conspicu- ous degree the seed states of Greater America. The west and the far west are their children and grandchildren. Beginning far back in the days when the praiTfes were first tracked by their canvas-covered trains of emigrant wagons, the sons and daughters of New England have poured steadily westward for sixty years. They have taken with them wherever they have gone the honest, sturdy, intelligent liberty-loVing and laW-abiding ideas of their Yankee forefathers. All over Ohio and the middle west across the Rockies and clear to the Golden Gate they have carried the principles, the habits, the laws and the customs of the land of the Pilgrims pride" Thus the whole continent, from ocean to ocean, has been leavened with the first leaven of the six old states where the first town meeting was held and the first school house built in America
 As nation We cultivate the material side of things too much, the sentiment tai side too little. The example set by New Hampshire and Maine of holding an "Old Home Week" once year, and calling home their emigrant people from every corner of the union to join in celebrating the ancestral memories as well as the present glories of the . mother commonwealth is worthy of general adoption. Every one of the original thirteen states hOuld have it's 'Old Home Week. ."-New York World
