SOME POOR SHOOTING.

Ben Brough. who ran a game in a Lordsburg saloon for some time this summer. and who recently went to Silver City, where he was running a game in a saloon, got into a dispute Saturday evening with Constable Mon tez over a play at the game. Brought got a six-shooter from the bar and had the best of the play as the constable
 was unarmed. The constable retired and went after his gun. When he had secured it he returned to arrest Brough. Brough heard he was coming and turned loose both barrels of the shot gun, which was loaded with birdshot. It was early in the evening and the street was full of shoppers. None of the shot hit the man aimed at but eight other people received them and were seriously damaged. Justice of the Peace Newcomb held Brough under $1.- 800 bonds to await the action of the grand jury. and fixed the constable's bonds at $500. Both men gave bonds-- Lordsburg Liberal.

Tt is a surprising fact" says Prof. Houton, that in my travels in all parts of the world, for the last ten years, l have met more people having used Greens August Flower than any other remedy. for dyspepsia. deranged liver and stomach, and for constipa- tion. I find for tourists ard salesmen, or for persons filling office positions, where headaches and general bad feel ings from irregular habits exist, that Greens August Flower is a grand rem edy.

DEATH AT CAPE NOME
Waiting for Many of Those Who Seek
 for Gold.

"The' health authorities estimate that at least 10 per cent of the men who go to Cape Nome will never come back alive" was the startling statement made at the Shoreham last night by T. w. Johnston, of San Francisco. "The almost as doleful prediction is made by those in a position to know whereof they speak that not one in 100 of the fortune-hunters who are now rushing to the new diggings will find enough gold to pay the expenses of their trip, to say nothing of compensation for the dangers and hardships they will un- dergo. The belief is gaining ground that Cape Nome's golden sands are largely myth, invented for the bene- fit of certain transportation companies. These companies enjoyed good busi- ness when the Klondike fever was au it's height. but the time came when there were no more claims to be had there and people quit going. Enough gold has been sent back from the Klon- dike to prove that the stories of the richness of it's mines were genuine, and when the alleged discovery was made that the sands of Nome were loaded with gold the story was readily be- lieVed.
 Alaska will. no doubt, continue for many years to send out large quanti- ties of gold, and there are profitable investments there for the man who has capital and nerve to take the risks in- volved, and the hardihood to brave the rigorous climate, but of the men who go there expecting to pan out a fortune in a few months. the vast majority will suffer bitter disappointment" Wash ington Post.

Williams. Ariz., Aug. 11.-(Special A contract has just been taken to build a reservoir of over 30 million gallons capacity. Jake Caufman and R. J. Erie are the contractors. This resar- months and will be located about a mile above the Saginaw mills. This reservoir is intended as a water supply for the town of Williams and will be one of the greatest improvements thus far. Where this reservoir is to be con- structed there is always a great deaf of water, which insures a sufficient amount for the one building. Mir Cauf- man has had extensive experience i'll this particular line, and has built res ervoirs over the entire territory, as well as in New Mexico, where he now has d gang of men at work.

JAPAN IS TRAINING.
How the Ocean Empire Is Preparing
 For Fray With Russia.

Japan has increased her fighting capacity both in land and naval forces with a secrecy bafiing the astuteness of even Russian diplomats. Notice this fact which appears to have escaped the observation of our special correspond tnts. The records of the diet. since it's opening in 1890, prove that the exist ence of a cabinet in Japan was exceed ingly brief unless a crisis threatened the nation. Under such circumstances there is no more unanimous body Of men than Japan's legislature, although. in order to stifle suspicion, discussions ere in order, addressed to the gallery If a cabinet is forced to resign, the premiership has invariably passed into the hands of a different clan. Observe now that when Ito stepped out his place was taken by Fi5ld Marshal Va magata. who, wi,h Ito, belongs to the Choshiu clan. There was no need for the services of the old willy diplomat, Marquis Ito, to check Russia. The man for the hour was Yama gata. the expe- rienced organizer of armies, whose ef- ticiency has been tested. Nor did the 6iet indulge in it's usual tirades against Count Eatsukata, personally an un- popular man with the hierarchy, but the foremost financier, and whose ser vices as such were imperatiVely de- mand5d. Japan needed well drilled, well equipped armies, without the world b ing any the wiser, and Yama- gata undertook to furnish them. Mat snkata was 70 provide the necessary

 Much bad feeling has been crelted throughout Protestant Germany by an extraordinary appeal just issued to the G rman people by the Spanish Infanta, Paz. sistlr of the late king of spain. The Infanta. who is married to Prince Louis Ferdinand. of Ba- varia. and who makes her home at the palace of Nymphenburg near Munich. is a devout Roman Cath olic and has issued over h=r signature species of public letter appealing to i contribute to a fund which she is rais- ing to defray the expenses of the can nni2ati0n of the Blessed Cresentia two months hence at Rome. She points out that it will be the first time that any G5 rnan has been canonized since tha Gays of the Protestant reformation, to which she refcrs in such a manner as to excite the ire of all the members of the Lutheran church. Ths press has taken up the mayter. and insists that the princess Of a dynasty ruling land in which there are as many Protestants as Catholics. and which forms part and parcel of a confederation known as the Gnrman Empire, of which latter two thirds of the population are Protestants has no right to assail the Reformc d church, or to identify herself with the IiibIe aggressive 6!eIll nt or ftOman tta- thnlicism.
 The husband of the Infanta is as fa = nous an obstetrician as his cousin, Duke Charles Theodore is an oculist. Neither of these royal princes make any charges for their services where the poor are concerned, and the Infan- ta's husband, though he lives in royal palacs, does not hesitate to respond to night calls when any poor woman is about to become a mother.

one he received letter yesterday con- taining a wonderful story, Illustrating the devotion of the converted natives. It appears that the chief of an inland town on one of the islands invited Dr. Paton's son, few weeks ago, to visit him at his home. The young minister, accompanied by one his native teachers, started with the chief. They had not proceeded far, when the chief, suddenly turning levelled his rifle at the intrepid young missionary Diving the chiefs murderous intent the converted native threw himself between the missionary and the rife, receiving the bullet through his heart.

striking distance and the fight conn

striking distance, and the fight com menced
 "The two male wolves were soon surrounded, and there was a mix-up equal to 8 scrimmage on a football field. The wolves were game and dis posed of five dogs gefore they were kill ed.
 "The old she-wolf had not gone far, and her injuries were beginning to tell on her. The staghounde overhauled her and then the rest of the pack came up, followed by the mounted crowd. A circle was formed around the dogs with the old she-wolf in the centre. She had laid down, panting andtired, with a long, dripping tongue protruding from her mouth. Her dull greer eyes were half closed and she appeared to be the most unconcerned of all present. The hounds came up and snapped at her, but she paid little attention. None of the dogs seemed willing to attack her Finally dog with more of the blocG- hound than the other le1 the assault The old wolf Woks up and killed him instantly. The others than stood aloof.
 "One of the cowboys suggested that none of the male dogs would attack q female wolf and that their apparent timidity was nothing more than the chivary of the animal At that mo- ment, the coach with the tourists ar- rived, and with them came the fierce bulldog, weighing about thirty pounds. The owner was told the reason why the fight could not proca ad and he offered to back his bulldog against the old wolf He was advised against the course, but he insisted and hls pet was unleashed.
 "It was all right for the first min ute or two. The little bulldog was game and commenced the at.ack on her ad- versary with the utmost fierceness. The wolf still lay on the grou;ci, with half- closed eyes, apparently unaware that any thing unusual was going on. Her hide was thick and the teeth of her small assailant did not bo.hAr her much. But the bulldog finally grabbed her by the throat and this took all the indifference out of her. The old wolf struggled and tried to free herself b1it in vain. She rose 70 her feet and shook herself desperately; but the bulldog hung on with tenacity with which it alone can display.
 ''At last the wolf shook herself free But she did not remain unmolested. The game little dog returned to the attack, but this time she was more than met. The great jaws of the Id wolf opened, showing the gleaming fangs now cover ed with foam. A feint, quick snap, and the ivory teeth sank into the head of the brave little bulldog. The lifeless body was thrown aside with contempt. A bullet from cowboys six-shooter then ended the old wolf's career, and the crowd rode home, trying to figure out whether the game had been worth the candle. ."-Washington Post.

THE STOCK MARKET.
Prices Traverse n Considerable R.

Prices Traverse a Considerable Range. 1 New York, Jan. 5.-Prices of stocks traversed considerable range to-day. moving forward in the early dealings and then pursuing retrograde course to about last nights level. The deduc- | ton to be drawn is that professional traders are disinclned to undertake ex- tensive speculative commitments. The most effective influence towards this disposition Is the conviction that the money markets of the world are not yet in condition to afford abundant funds for speculation on credit The incident which pointed this moral was the unex- pected proportions of the gold engage ments for to-morroW's steamer, amount ing up to $3,500,000 as compared with preliminary estimates of $2, 900 GOO. The large engagements were in spite of sag ging interest rates in London and a sharp decline in the discount rate at Berlin. It is evident therefore that the British government designs abundant
 
 available gold supplies will be drawn to London as far as possible Such prospect makes definitely against the probability of an easy money market in New York in spite of the replenishment which various factors are now bringing to this center. The cause of the morn ing strength in the stock market was the cessation of the selling pressure for Berlin account. The absorption of New York Central stocks and the sympa- thetic effect upon the whole railroad list continued The reaction gained force with the growth in volume of the gold engagements and the bears were disposed to take advantage of the sit uation to depress the industrials, nota- bly, Sugar and the steel and iron stocks Rumors were circulated that new diff ficulties would be encountered in ef- fecting the distribution of dividends on the common stocks of iron and steel companies, which it has been repre- sented was soon to be made. Official disclaimers that any such difficulties were apprehended failed to cause any notable recovery in the stocks affected. The closing of the market was, how ever, IIHl put very uuIl ana net changes, aside from the industrials, were not important. The weeks regu- lar currency movement by express has been largely in favor of the banks, the outgo having fallen to less than a mill lion dollars, so that the weeks gain from that source is estimated at over S9 000,000, not counting receipts by reg istered mail which last week were con- siderable. In addition the banks have gained from the sab-treasury $256,00 But $5,000,000 of gold exported last week must be reckoned. So that the net loss on all accounts is figured at at least S1 800, ,000 Whether this has been offset by loan contraction is doubtful in view of the weeks activity in the stock mar ket
