RinnIlng Bros, Excursions.

Arrangements have been completed by which all who wish to attend the performances ut Ringing Bros Worlds Greatest Shows in Tucson, Tuesday, October 16, can secure specinl excursion rates on all lines of travel. This will be the only point in this vicinity where the great show will ex- hibit during the present season, and those who fail to see it will miss the grandest amusement event of the year. Since last season Ringling Bros famous exhibition has been doubled in size and is now beyond all question or doubt the largest and best combined circus, menagerie and hippodrome in the United States. The performance is given by over 200 high-salaried specialists, in three rings, on two stages, in mid-air, and on huge quar- tep-mile hippodrome track. The trained animal features, which are alone worth many times the price of admission to see, include three troupes of wonderful educated elephants, Lockhart's play acting elephants, Marchaud's pugilistic pachyderms and Souder's elephant brass band, and o'Brien's sixty-one horse act, in which three-score hand some equines perform in one ring, at one time, under the direction of one man. The grand free street parade which takes place at 10 o'clock on the morning of the exhibition is the most magnificent display ever seen. Don't miss it.

Still More counterfeItIne.

The Secret Service has unearthed am other band of counterfeiters and secured large quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly executed that the average person wonld never suspect them of being spurious. Things of great value are always selected by counterfeiters for imitation, notably the celebrated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which has many imitators but no equals for indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation, 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.

WHAT "oLo cHAPr DID
With the Chinese Bones Dumped Them
 Off.

The Phoenix Gazette revives an old story on G. W. Chapman, former Tom bstoner known as "old Chap, who is now engaged in the real estate business in Phoenix and has history that is lurid. Chap, in early days, was one of the keenest and most energetic men in Arizona. He was for years an express messenger and mail clerk, and also held many responsible positions in the early days in Tombstone. And it can be said to his credit that he was an honest, efficient officer.
 Some eighteen years ago, Chap was express and mail agent between Yuma and Los Angeles. He was wild and woolly in those days like other west ern youngsters. Chaps train used to carry the bones of dead Chinamen from Arizona to the Golden Gate for shipment home to China. The traffic was particularly disagreeable to Chap, and one day while the train was nov ing slowly across the bridge from Yuma to California, Chap was stand ing in the open door of the express car, which contained several of those ob- jectionable defunct Chinese bodies. The day was warm and the odor not pleasant and Chap became indignant,  and seizing hold of the boxes, he dumped the whole outfit into the Colorado River and the bones of the Celestials probably are still floating in the Gulf of California, far from their Oriental home in Canton. A big fuss was made about the affair and Chap left the employ of the company. A few years later be was the republican candidate for city assessor of Tomb stone, and the democratic paper charged him with the offense. Chap took the bull by the horns, acknow- ledging it publicly, saying 'Yes, l did dump the d-n Chinamen into the river and if I had it to do over again would throw every d-n Chinamen, alive or dead, into the Colorado river i, that came into Arizona" This answer caught the people and Chapman got the largest majority of any man that ever ran on any ticket in that city. Old Chap is still in Phoenix, vigorous  in mind, and doing well, and we hope he has many more years of life before ] him.
