clael Strogoff, but let us advance.
Another vcrst was made.
He was about to propose TO Nicholas
to leave the route and il case Of neces-
sity only TO regain it after having turn
ed Mini Cudinsk, when the sound Of q
gun was heard on the right. \ ball
Kissed, and the horse in the kibitka,
struck in the head, fell dead.
At the same instant, dozen horse
men threw themselves on the road, and
the kibitka was surrounded. Michael
Strogoff, Nadia and Nicholas, without
having had time to recover themselves,
were prisoners and being led rapidly
toward Mini Oudinsk.
The next day, 18th Of September, the
detachment passed through the town
Of Chibarlinskoe.
At that time an incident occurred
which was to have very serious conse-
QuenceS.
The night had come. The Tartar
horsemen, having had halt, were
more or less drunk. They were about
to continue their journey.
Nadia, who Up to that time, as though
by q miracle, had been respected by
those soldiers. was inSulted by one OF
them.
Michael Strogoff had been able to see
neither the insult nor the insulting per-
son, but Nicholas had seen for him.
Then quietly, without having reflect
ed, without perhaps having any con-
sciousness Of his action, Nicholas made
straight for the soldier. and before the
latter could make any movement: to
stop him, snatching pistol from the
pommel-of his saddle, he discharged it
full at his breast.
The officer who had command Of the
detachment ran up Immediately at the
sound of the pistol.
The horsemen were about to cut Mich
olas in pieces, but at sign from the
officer they bound him fast with cords,
they flung him across q horse, and the
detachment set of at gallop.
The cord which tied Michael Strogof,
gnawed by him, broke at an uneXpect-
ed dash of the horse, and its rider, half
drunk. carried away in a quick run,
did not even perceive it.
Michae, Strogoff and Nadia found
themselves alone on the road.

him the name of a new senator
who was sitting on the Repub-
Iican side of the chamber. The
page, being one of this sessions

but did not even know Senator

Tillman.
"Cyclops," replied Macdonald
without looking up from his

A STORY OF TWO FLAGS.
How q Mans Life Was Saved at the
Very Last Moment.

How a Mans Life Was Saved at the
Very Last Moment.
The following stirring incident Of the
two flags happened at Valparaiso,
Chile, and was related at Montreal in
1881 by the Rev. Dr. ]. 0. Peck. DR..
Peck said:
"The man who gave me the facts
am about to relate was Mr.. Haskins.
an American sailor who had sailed to
q port in Chile On going ashore, he
said, to enjoy his day of liberty he
drank little and became hilarious.
One Of the police officers, instead Of
warning him not to make a noise IN
the street, drew his sword and, strlk-
ing him a blow. knocked him down.
On that the American sailor got up
and knocked the policeman down in
return He was on that arrested and
tried and condemned to be shot in the
morning Of the following day.
''Mr. Loring. the American consul, eX-
postulated with the authorities that it
would be monstrCuS to shoot the man
for such an offense. but they paid no
attention to him, so he thereupon made
a formal protest in the name of the
United States government against the
barbarous act Mr.. Haskins, the SILL
or. was In the morning brought out
pinioned TO be shot.
"As the English consul was prepar-
ing to hoist the union jack he saw the
crowd in the field opposite, where the
execution of the American sailor, OF
which he had heard, was to take place.
Rushing over the American consul, ne
said, 'Loring, you're not going to let
them shoot that man!
"'What can do? he said. l have
protested against it. can do no more
"Ouick as thought the English con-
suf shouted. Give me your flag! And
in q trice the stars and stripes We're
handed to the English representative.
At once, taking his own union jack IN
his hand, he fastened across the heId,
elbowed his way through the crowd
and soldicry, and, running up to the
doomed man. he folded the American
flag around him and then laid the IN
ion Jack over it. Standing few PAGES
back, he faced the officers and soldiers
and shouted defantly, Now. shoot, If
Won dare, through the heart of Eng
land and America!
"And they dared not dc it, for they
feared the consequences, so the mar
was at once released. In telling me-"
said DR.. Peck. "Mr. Haskins said to
me. with tears streaming down his
cheeks even then, They loosed me
then, and, oh, how longed to embrace
those two flags? "-Anglo-American.

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of -: body,
gives the first warning.
TO cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
uently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
# it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
IS the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like tkls.
When all the poison has been forced out
OF the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.

'Have You Seen Smith?" one of the seasons chief farce-comedy successes, will make it's debut in this city shortly. The play is billed as "the farce-comedy surprise" and that it is a genuine novelty is the universal opinion of all who have witnessed it. In constructing the work the author is said to have departed entirely from the well-worn methods so long employed in the build ing of similar pieces, and the result is a production that unfailingly tickles the palates of all classes of theatre-goers. White-whiskered ''gags'', old-fashioned devices like trick stairs and siphon bottles, and all the rough and tumble concomitants of the average farce comedy have been rigidly excluded, and in their place is found fresh. spon- taneous humor, legitimate comedy situ- ations, and myriad of novel musical features.

We now stand at the threshold of the twentieth century; the nineteenth is a thing of the past. It will, however, always be known as the century of in- vention and discovery, and among some of the greatest of these we can truth fully mention Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the celebrated remedy for all ailments arising from a disordered stomach, such as dyspepsia, indiges- tion, f1atulency, constipation, nervous ness and biliousness, It has been one of the greatest blessings to mankind during the past fifty years as health builder. Many prominent physicians prescribe and recommend it. Take their advice, try a bottle and be con- vinced, but be sure to get the genuine, with our Private Revenue Stamp over the neck of the bottle.

A BRUTAL MURDER.
Hugh McGuire, Miner, Stabbed to
 Death on Main Street.

A peculiarly atrocious murder was committed in Yuma last Saturday night, or early Sunday morning.. Some time after midnight E. Kelley and c. F. Marshall, two young fellows from Los Angeles, went to Kinsler's lodging house to get bed for the night. While waiting for the proprietor to open the door they heard groans, apparently of somebody in great distress, emanating from the cellar excavation just north of the lodging house, and they went closer to the hole to investigate. It being quite dark, they struck match and its light disclosed big, vicious looking brute dragging much smaller man around by the heels. One of the boys protested against his action, when the man, who proved to be miner named Thos. Cannon, rushed at him with knife. threatening to kill him. Both of the boys moved away, but the | light from the match had revealed blood on Cannon's hands and Cn the ground about the place, and realizing that something ought to be, done, one Of the boys employed ruse to disarm supicion of his intentions. He saw that Cannon was drunk, and asked him if he wouldn't like to have a drink. He replied that he would, and Kelley told Cannon that he would go and bring him one, to which Cannon assented, and the two boys at once started down the street to look for an officer. They mo- tified some men at the Phoenix restau- rant ard the saloons and in few min uteS a crowd was at the scene. They found the man whom the boys had heard grooming to be Hugh McGuire, a miner, and he appeared to be suffering greatly. The Hotel Gandolfo hack was procured and the injured man lifted into it and taken to the hospital, where he died Sunday morning about o'clock. There were several cuts on the body of Me Guire, the fatal one being terrible knife wound in the groin. No post mortem was held. Strangely enough, Cannon was not arrested until Sunday, although he is reported to have boasted in saloon shortly after the injured mans removal to the hospital, that he had "fixed McGuire."
 The evidence at the coroner's inves- tigation on Monday was most conclusive and Cannon was committed on the charge of murder in the first degree. The preliminary trial, which followed on Wednesday, wound the coils tighter and Justice Reiff held Cannon without bail.
 The murder can be attributed to a combination of whisky and viciousness.
