Terrible Accident.

A man named Lacy is at the city hospital very badly injured by an ex- plosion caused by blast, which in some manner set eff a whole box of giant cartridges. Both of the mans eyes were blown out, and the front of his body from head to feet is terribly bruised and lacerated, though no bones were broken, and at last reports he was conscious, able to talk some and apparently slowly recovering. The accident happened four or five days ago on new wagon road being built between Palomas and Quartzite, and in the construction of which Lacy was doing some blasting. Nr. Lacy owns some mining property and ranch near Palomas, where he has lived for eight or ten years.

Thieves at Work.

Dr. HefTernan is in the city and is feeling rather sore over the loss he sustained by the fire last Friday night; not so much because of the money loss as that he has since discovered that 8 great deal of the silverware, bric a brac and other costly articles which were buried under the debris and not reach ed by the fire, have evidently been stolen. Mrs. Heffernan, who has been in Europe during the past year study ing music, had stored these articles in the back room of the Pest house until she should return. Since the fire the doctor has found cut glass fruit dish, with cotton packing in it not even scorched. This is the only article to be found. To further strengthen the belief of thievery no melted silver or the ware in any shape can be found.

Stisi ricre Counterfei4ing.

The Secret Service has unearthed another band Of counterfeiters and se- cured large quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly executed that the average person would never sus- pect 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 gets at the seat of strength and vitality, and restores vigor to the weak and debilitated. Beware of counter feits when buying.

Gene Up ia Smoke.

The dwelling known as the Post
 property, situated Cn the west side Of
 Madison avenue between First and Sec
 ond streets, owned by J. w. DCrring-
 ton and occupied by G. NJ. Williams, a prison guard, burned to the ground last Friday night, together with the cen tents, which consisted of all the house. hold goods belonging to the Williams family and a piano and some valuable furniture owned by Dr. Heffernan. The fire started about 1915, and was caused by Mrs. Williams overturring 8 bottle of alcohol, the volatile fluid ig- hitting instantly from an alcohol stove. The flames quickly spread to the in- fammable material in the room, and Mrs. Williams barely had time to es- cape from the house with her three children-one a baby-before every thing in the house was ablaze and the flames were licking up the roof: as it was, one of her hands was burned quite badly before she succeeded in arousing the children and getting out Of the burning building. The first alarm of fire generally noticed was the firing of three pistol shots in quick succession by s. W. Darling, who was one of the first to first to hear the screams of Mrs. Williams and to see the flames issuing from the building. 4 switch engine on Madison avenue continued the alarm by prolonged whistling, which attract ed crowd of people to the scene. The fire department responded as quickly as could be expected. A section of hose was connected with the switch engine and also connection made with fire plug at the corner of Second and Madi- son avenue. The fire had gained too much headway to save the Post house, so all efforts were directed to saving ing the vacant house on the same lot. The two houses were only seven feet apart, and it seemed absolutely certain that both would go. One stream was turned on the vacant house and the ether on the flames nearest to it. and by hard, hot and intelligent work the flames were prevented from spreading.
 But it was the stream from the switch engine which did the effective work. The hose attached to the water company's fire plug didn't throw stream more than five or six feet from the nozzle: it is possible it might have been sufficient to eX,inguish a lighted candle, but 1t is not certain. The work of the fire department, considering the means at hand, could not have been better, and the Yuma volunteer fire department is entitled to great credit. but the same cannot be said of the ser vice of the water company.
 There was but light insurance on the house and none whatever on the con tents, so that on the whole the loss was quite heavy. The greatest loser is Dr. Heffernan.
 The SENTINEL would like to inquire if there is no way to force the water company to live up to its contract in the matter of furnishing adequate water pressure for fire fighting? If there is it should be done right now; if there is not, then the city should make other arrangements, before the balance of the town is wiped out by fire.

BLAriG YOUR SELF,
i<SELF,
 NOT YOUR FRIENDS.

We frequently meet men bewailing their fate, cursing their luck and damn i ing everyone fer lack Of friendship and sympathy. I venture the assertion that if there is man without friend under the canopy of heaven it is his own fault. Without respect you will never have friends, and you will never be respected until you learn to respect yourself.
 Money is needed in your business CT for the temporal wants Of yourself CT family. You go to A, B, or c, who will net lend you one penny or trust you for leaf of bread, or recommend you to another. You leave his place of l business cu9sing him for false friend. Can you censure him, when you spend your time and money in questionable if not disreputable resorts with the most absolute of your class in idleness and vice? You seek a position in a store or counting house. Your would be friend cannot afford to employ you, knowing your mode Of life. The aid Of an attorney or the skill of Q surgeon is needed. Your friend, Or even a boon companion, cannot afford to employ you. His attorney must have a head that is free from whisky, and the hand Of his surgeon must not tremble with the palsy caused by debauch. A mine or corporation needs employees. Neither will knowingly trust it's capital and the lives of others to the tender mercieS and efete skill of even rum-soaked lOrdling. Hence you class all employees as enemies, not friends. You seek an election to some office and some man of your party, or even a friend Of the op4 position party votes for you to stay at home. Immediately if net sooner that man voting against you is placed in the category of your enemies. Can you blame him for voting against you when you know and he knows that you are not morally. mentally or physically qualified for the position? You sheer at churches and other religious organi- cations, piety and virtue in others-and expect them to be your friends; you neglect your family, violate marital re- lations and sometimes the criminal code and keep full of whisky as long as you can get it, and yet expect business men and good society to be your friends and respect you. It ''can't be did,"
 Young man, yes, and old man as well, respect yourself. Keep good company or herd by yourself. Don't loaf around -saloons and gaming tables trying to beat some one st his own game. Wash your face, put on clean shirt and go to work; if you only get your board and lodging you will feel better at the end of the week than if you had loafed, and your conscience will be clear, if you have such 8 thing. Do something. Assume virtue if you have it not" pay as you go, and you will soon have all the friends you need, and they will not be the bum element, but men of merit, money and business. And rest assured, if you have no friends you do not deserve to have any. The above is not speculation or guesswork. l have sounded some of the depths and shoals of honor and dishonor and know what I am writing about.

INDIAN SCHOOL NOTES.
FORT YUMA, March 27, 1901.


 The last rise of the Colorado river was unquestionably the muddiest on record. The current having changed to the east bank, leaves an eddy at the west bank near the school pump; con sequently the sudden falling of the river leaves 8 heavy deposit Of mud where the pump gets its supply of water. Captain Vaughan has an extra force Of men at work, yet fears are en- tertained that 6 water famine is immi- nent.
 A Sheet and Pillow Case social given by the school employees to the Christian Endeavor society and their friends will be held in the dining hall at the Fort Yuma Indian School Friday evening, March g. All these wishing to attend should come prepared to join in the grand march at 6:15; following which will be an unique contest in which all are expected to participate.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all it's stages, and that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease requires con- stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting direct ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer one hundred dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

ELKs ARE COMING.
Many New Features Will Be Intro

Many New Features Will Be Intro
 duced at Mlnstrels.
 There are very many people in this city who have been anxious to find out just what the plan is going to be i'll presenting the Elks' minstrels, but to Ill those the local lodge says you will know all in good time. All along the report has been given out that the first part of this minstrel performance. will be different from all other min- strel entertainments, and so different that many who have been let into the secret have been wondering how 1t could ever be done. There were some of those present at the rehearsal yes- terday. and they wondered no longer, for they saw q first part that was q novelty and success. Tn fact, at the close of the rehearsal they compll- fllented the director and the members of the nanstrels, and they admitted that the Waterbury lodge of Elks had prepared great entertainment for the public of this city. Not only is the first part n novelty in conception, but 1t will present some of the best end men that have ever been seen in Waterbury among the amateurs, and as several of them do special turns the whole com pletes one of the greatest entertain ments that has ever been produced.
 The rehearsal yesterday was n cork CT and no mistake. Everybody was on edge nnd each vied with the other to do his part well. and at the close all felt we'll satisfied that 1t would be a go. Relative to the costumlng of the first part, that also will be a novelty and altogether different from any thing yet seen in minstrelsy. A mein- Der of the general committee will visit Springfield this week. where the cos tunes are being made by Buccholz, and will see that everything is in read- mess for the dress rehearsal next sun day afternoon and evening. This re- hearsal will be the last before the Brls- tol trip, which takes place on Monday evening, April 20. Several of the Bris-' tol entertainers were down here yester- day and assisted in the entertainment. In fact, one of the leading ballad sing. CTS is n Bristol man, and he is also one of the Bristol base ball team of the State league. There were those pres ent yesterday who knew that this man could play base ball and play 1t we'll. but they were more than surprised when they heard him sing yesterday afternoon. He will make q decided hit both In Bristol and here.
 Hartford, New Haven. Bridgeport Tomlngton and Derby lodges have se- cured boxes and rows of seats for the. entertainment in this city md 1t is ex- pected that at least 300 EIks will be present on the evening of May ?. Among those Elks will be some of the very prominent officials in the cities and preparations are now being made to entertain them on q large scale. From now until the day of the performance there will be re- hearsals continually of the various portions of the play and every little de tail will be attended to. Tickets are now in the hands of the members. As only one performance will be given the sale will be limited to the capacity of the house. For that reason just the number of seats in the house are now in the hands of the members.
