YUMA LIVERY STABLES.

As you travel from place to place you and new methods of doing business and apparently the further away the meth cd is from the home industries of the same character the greater the curios- ity and appreciation upon the part of the visitor
 In the entire commercial lines of Yuma no business will attract more at tention from the stranger than the liV- cry business.
 Imagine some of the strangers stab ling their favorite horse in building which consists of upright posts, roof and no sides, and yet experience shows this is the best for the animal in this country, and no citizen or person of ex- perience wants his animal otherwise housed. It is owing to experience Of this kind and others of character adapted to horses, that the conduct of the Yuma Livery Stable meets the ap- probation and support of all horsemen. ! The stable is sufficiently large to meet the requirements of the trading publlc 1 now and for some time to come. The : livery stock is well bred. thoroughly trained and would creditably grace any i stable in the territory. The business is i large and was obtained by honest busi- 1 ness methods and correct treatment o1 i the public both personally and as re- gards their stock. \ livery, feed, sale
 and exchange business is transacted
 and a semi-weekly stage line is run to 1 Castle Dome and King of Arizona mine | This stage leaves after the arrival of | trains.
 The business is conducted by Tichno1

 which firm are J. c. Tichnor and A. E. | McBeath MT. Tichnor was formerly

Did Not Aid Allen.

In the Washington Post. of the sd
inst. is an interview with Senator AL
len in which he says that Col. Bryan
did not aid in assuring his, Aliens,
appointment as senator, as against Mr..
Hitchcock, the democrat. The Post
says:
Senator Allen, of N ebra ska in an in
terview last night, authorizes an abso-
lutte denial of reports that he would be
the candidate for the presidency of a
part of the fusion forces. He said:
al would not accept the nomination
if it were unanimously rendered me.

didate of the democratic, populist and
free silver parties for the presidency.
Nebraska will give him a united, active
delegation to all three of the conven-

Senator Allen declared emphatically
that so far as he knew. Mr.. Bryan had
not aided him in his candidacy for the
Senate. saying:
II did not ask Mr.. Bryan, directly
or indirectly, to aid me In securing my
appointment to the senate. nor did ht
aid me to my knowledge. l did no
see or communicate with the governor
respecting the matter until he sent fo
me. Mr.. Bryan knew nothing of M
appointment until it had been deter
mined on by the governor. The rela
tions between Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Hitch

when Mr.. Allen was appointed) ant

THE ALTERNATIVES.
Mr.. Oldham Was Puzzled and with
Very Good Reason.


The house was perfectly dark when
Mr.. Oldham let himself in late that win
ter's afternoon.
"Huml Martha must be out some
where's" concluded Mr.. Oldham, with
rare sagacity blaming his wife for that
state of things. Then he fuInbled all
through his pockets for match, but be-
ing an inveterate smoker OF course found
he had none. He knew, however. that
there were always some on the dining
room mantel. so he proceeded to feel his
way there with that confidence which a
man has in his ability TO find anything in
his own house at any time.
But he had hardly taken the first step
when his foot came down on something
soft and fabby which emitted a plain
tive squeak under his weight.
"Merciful heavens. what was thatT'
calculated Mr.. Oldham, as he sprang
convulsively of it. He landed on some
thing else that smashed under him with
much splintering and stood shivering and
painting like n terror stricken horse.
What under the sun has happened 10
the house?' queried Mr.. Oldham of him
self, when he had gotten his nerve back
little Finding himself unresponsiye, he
cautiously slid his foot out before him,
oh, so carefully, but not carefully enough
to save il from coming in contact with
something that fell with crash, uom-
harding his corns until he groaned in
agony with divers and sundry sharp an
gled articles. The shock of this disaster
staggered him, he side stepped suddenly
to save himself, set his foot down on
some cylindrical object that promptly
rolled from under il. and then he sat
down vehemently upon some globular OBJ
ject that exploded under him with ter
rifying report.
Mr.. Oldham cautiously drew his feet
mp until his chin rested on his knees and
wiped the cold sweat off his forehead
with a trembling hand.
II think I'll sit right here until Martha
gets home and take no more chances" he
cogitated, maturely. "For either there
