ALMOST BURIED ALIVE.

Under the above caption the Los Angeles Times publishes the follow. ing very timely and sensible arss ticle:
 Another of those frequently-re- curing instances of a narrowly res capped premature burial was reported recently in the papers, in the shape of a brief dispatch from Patterson, N. J., which told how an Italian, who had been pronounced dead that morn- ing, was being carried out the same afternoon in a coffin, when he scared the carriers by sitting up. It appears an unreasonable thing that human being should be dumped under ground in such short order. This undue haste greatly increases the danger of premature burial.
 Yet another case was reported, few days later, from New York, where a woman who had been pro- nounced dead by the family physi clan, and for whom a certificate of suicide by carbolic acid poison had been issued by the county physician, breathed a sigh and turned over, just as the undertakers were about to embalm her body.
 As the Times has previously re- marked, on several occasions, it is about time, in these days of wonder ful scientific triumphs, that physi- cians should be able to say definitely whether a human being is alive or dead. That they are not so able to declare, with certainty, is evident, from the numerous instances of this kind which are constantly occurring. How many unfortunates are actually buried alive and never heard of again it is impossible to conjecture, but un- doubtedly it is a much greater num- Der than the cases which are acci- dentally discovered.
 Tt is a grewsome subject to think of. In these days of big bequests some millionaire should leave S100,- 900 to the discoverer of a practical and absolutely certain means of test ing the departure of the spirit from the human body"

Blood.

We live by our blood, and on it. We thrive or starve, as our blood is rich or poor.
 There is nothing else to live on or by. When strength is full and spirits high, we are being re- freshed, bone muscle and brain, in body and mind, with con- tinual flow of rich blood.
 This is health.
 When weak, in low spirits no cheer, no spring, when rest is not rest and sleep is not sleep, we are starved ; our blood is poor; there is little nutrl' ment in 1t.
 Back of the blood, is food to keep the blood rich. When it fails, take Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. It sets the whole body going again-mar woman and child.
 Ii YOU have not tried it serd fer free sample | its agreeable taste will surprise you.

ABOUT ADMISSION.

Tomorrow is the day set for the consideration of the territorial bills in the house. Friends of admission in the house are very hopeful of sue cess. Opposition to the admission of these territories has come from an unexpected source in the east. At a meeting of some sort of Presbyterians recently, resolutions were adopted opposing the admission of Arizona and New Mexico on account of the unfitness of their citizens for self government. If some of these self constituted censors of these territories were to visit Arizona, they would find that instead of our citizens being composed of the rabble which they have pictured in their minds as com posing the population, that the great majority of our citizens emigratec from the eastern states, and only tho cream of the citizenship there emi grated to Arizona, leaving the leas desirable element behind. In othel words the population of Arizona ii made up largely of the best elemen of eastern citizenship. Crime is les prevalent here than in the large cities of the east, in proportion t population. If our misguided anC misinformed Presbyterian friend had sent committee of unprejudiceC and intelligent people out here to in vestigate conditions, they would neve have made such a report.

A Killer Killed.

A press dispatch, dated Fl Paso, April 14th, says that Barney Riggs was shot al Fort Stockton, Texas, but gives no particulars. Barney Riggs was first known in Arizona as "killer" and dead shot, and his reputation in that respect was doubt less well earned. He was at one time on the hill. One day desperate break was made by number of the most dangerous convicts in the pri-
 son. Some of them had secured guns, and for time general out break of all the convicts seemed i'm minent. Guard Hartlee shot four of the desperadoes, but some of the
 others had Superintendent Gates cornered, and one man was close up on him and trying to kill him with a knife, when Hartlee again fired from the wall, badly wounding the convict, but he still held the superintendent by the throat. He was at the point of trusting the knife into Superin- tendent Gates throat, when Barney Riggs, who was a trusty, grabbed d gun from one of the mutineers and shot the superintendent's assailant through the heart. That was one good act to Barney's credit, if he never did another.-Arizona Sentinel.

tures, working without intermission day and night. When one felt the need ot sleep he lav on a couch, holding in his hand a ball, beneath which, on the floor. was a brazen bowl. When his muscles relaxed sufficiently to release the ball, it fell into the bowl, and the noise wakened the sleeper who resumed his work.
 But it is one thing to give up sleep and another thing altogether to De unable to sleep. Those who suffer from asthma, bronchitis and other dis eases of the organs of respiration are only too familiar with this enforced wakefulness. They would give almost anything for nights unbroken rest
 THE SECRET OF SLEEP

That this cure is possible is abundantly proven by those who have used Doctor Pierce Golden Medical Discovery for the cure of bronchitis, obstinate and deep-seated coughs. lung vtrouble" and other dis eases of the organs of respiration.

Word comes from Washington that the belief there is that no further consideration will be given by the president to the subject of retiring Lieutenant General Miles so long as the commander of the army contin- ues his present attitude of reserve and his case will be allowed to re main as it is unless General Miles himself should do something or take some action to revive the recent de termination of the president.

Fatal Hypnotism.

4 Wilkesbarre, Penn, dispatch, Is as follows: If the boy is under hypnotic influence and the man who hypnotized him cannot be found, he will die of exhaustion" So said Dr. Miller this afternoon in explaining the remarkable case of 14-year-old Edwin Devor, who since Tuesday night has been out of his mind. To day he was taken to the asylum at Schuylkill Haven. The case is the first of its kind known to the physi- cians of Pottsville. The boy ap- peared during Tuesday in state of suppressed excitement, eyes dilated and nostrils inhamed, as if laboring under some great fear. In the even ing his symptoms became more acute He kept crying, "f told that fellow not to hypnotize me; l don't want tc be hypnotized; please get my mind back for me" Dr. Miller was called but the boy grew worse and more violent. trying to throw himself from the window, hu-ling articles he could grasp at any one who approached tearing his clothes and develop ing violent delirium. The treat ment of the next couple of day: did moi improve his condition and his protestations against some strange man who had hypnotized him con- tinued.
 The boy is weak tonight but other wise his condition remains the same The efforts of his parents are now al rected to finding theman who hypno tized him with the hope that he vii be able to remove his influence and that the boy will regain his senses There is belief that man who solo engraved cards about the streets has bypnotized the boy.

The furniture for the new Harvey house, Alvarado hotel, at Albuquer- que, has been put in position, and every piece of it was made from spe- cial designs in order to harmonize with the general plans of the hotel. It was impossible to get the furniture except from special orders, as all that could be found was a little in old missions. Since this was made, how ever, a number of hotels have adopted the style, and the Angelus at Los Angeles has adopted it. The formal opening of the hotel will be on May 10th.

Mrs. Eddy and Her Teachings.
Prescott, Ariz.. April 30, 1901

Editor Journal Miner: In issues of the Courier of the 17th and 18th inst. appeared several anonymous let ters attacking me because of some statements made in an address on Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Patterson Eddy's life and pretended discovery of Christian Science.
 The addresses were intended for the instruction of my own congrega- tion, and were delivered because of the persistent long continued efforts of some of my Christian Scientist friends to proseltize members of the church and congregation committed to my care.
 I am not interested enough to an- swer the personalities indulged in, but as the statements of fact were called in question, wish to give the name of the main source of informa- tion (apart from her book.
 The facts can be fouad in "A Complete Expose of Eddyism or Christian Science and the Plain Truth in Plain Terms regarding Mary Baker G. Eddy, by Frederick w. Peabody, (member of the Boston bar)." It contains an address de livered at Fremont Temple, Boston on August 1, 1901.
 It can be had by sending twenty five cents to Robert Cameron, editol Watchword and Truth, 27 State street, Boston, Mass, mail bol 5326."
 The following letter from Mir Frederick W. Peabody, speaks fo itself: Fredrick W. Peabody Counsellor-at
 law, 15 Court Square. Boston, April 2i, l9J2 Rev. Harcourt w. Peck. My Dear Sir: Replying to you letter of the 17th to MT. Cameron, beg to assure you that every state ment of fact contained in my llttl book is true.
 Immediately upon its publicatio I sent copies of it to Mrs. Eddy lawyers and her representatives l the church and invited them to glv me an opportunity, in a suit to libel, to present my evidence, bu my invitation has not been accepted and will not be.
 , As to the title to her propert! land, jewels, etc, it is a matter ( p record at Concord, N. H., and have myself seen the record Of i and can, at any time, produce th books or documents from which $ quote, or to which refer.
 The indictment of Mrs. Eddy husband is also a matter of recor in our superior criminal court, as an one who cares to inquire may lear My statement has not been cha lenged here where it is well know I by Mrs. Eddy's friends, that @ produce the proof.
 $ They have hoped it might n ,- come to general public notice, al
 have not dared to attack it, as to it so would only help to make the fac
 known. Very truly yours, ,- F. W. Peabody.

IVES CONTINUED MlSREPRESEN
 TATl0h.

As sort of text for an editorial, tor a pretext for long harangue against | Governor Murphy and ex-Auditor Vickers, the Tucson Citizen says: Chief Justice Kent has ren- dered decision holding that Cover nor Murphy was the receiver Of moneys illegally drawn from the treasury of Arizona. The Judge also holds that ex-Auditor Vickers who is sued the warrants illegally is re- sponsible under the law to the pee
 pie"
 Unless the Journal-Miner has mis-
 taken the import of Judge Rents de- cision. the above is a base and mali
 cious misrepresentation. In the very
 nature of things it must be so as a judge is seldom called upon to decide
 the merits of case on a demurrer.
 Judge Kent simply decided that as
 to Governor Murphy the action was
 retroactive, and the law did not ap- ply, whatever the facts might be, but
 as to the facts in the case he had
 nothing to do as nothing was before
 him to decide as to them except the
 plaintiffs complaint,
 It would be a most remarkable pro
 cedure for judge to decide case as
 to the facts from the complaint alone,
 vet that is what the Citizen says , Judge Kent has done.
 In the case against ex-Auditor Vic ,, kers the judge decided that the law passed by the last legislature was ap plicable to him, and that hearing
 should be had and the case decided
 from facts adduced through the taking of testimony. That the doc tor will be able to clearly prove tho allegations set forth in the complain
 are mass of interpretations anC z falsehood, and that the action wasin stituted solely for political purposes . no unprejudiced man doubts for | 6 moment.
 | If the paragraph quoted abov . from the Citizen be true, it is a stated a most remarkable thing tha , a judge should render a decision F solely on the allegations set forth in .s complaint, and it is equally remark d able that he did not at once proceet r to sentence Dr. Vickers and hi bondsmen, to whom the law applied after convicting him and acquittin if Governor Murphy. The vindictiv d malice of the prosecution of thes 10 cases is apparent in every line of tn Citizens editorial as well as in :. published interview with Peanut PC ,r litician Ives, the instigator of the suit ;s and the inspiration of the Citizen ed :. torial. Small, insignificant, narro ;. minded as Peanut Ives has show ,r himself to be, when these suits al to ended, he will be able, himself, "a realize his insignifcance as othel , bava dome fOr months

Hoey left Tucson, after his trial, apparently satisfied with the verdict of the jury. But since his re- turn to Nogales, he has come to the conclusion that his acquittal by jury of fellow citizens of the charge for which he was indicted. is not sufiici- ent evidence of his innocence. He de- sires complete vindication. It is evi- dent that this is the motive which prompts his demand ou the presi- dent. MT. Hoey believes himself to have been the victim of a con spiracy.
