ing il you perform this part of it in
private; so you go to the window, hold
up your sun glass so that you can focus
the rays from the glass directly on the
thread through the side of the bottle,
and in short time the heat from the
focused rays will burn the thread in
two pieces, the end from the button
attached falling to The bottom Of the
bottle. Then 90 back to the company
with the bottle, and they will sec that
the cork has not been moved, and yet
the thread is cut.

Huge Diamond Found

In one of the mines near Kimberley,
says London Golden Penny, a diamond
Of 400 carats was found few weeks
ago. 1t is pale yellow color, and its
form is that of an octahedron. Owing
to its great size the news Of its discov-
cry has caused much excitement, and
the owner did not feel quite easy until
he had placed it in a safe in one of the
local banks. The exact value of the
diamond is not yet known, but fifty
per cent. of it must be paid to the Gov
ernment, and experts say that this sum
alone represents a considerable for
tune.

reach three-fourths of the way down
the inside of the bottle, and to the
lower end of the thread fasten any
small object, say shoe button, to
make the thread hang taut.
Insert the cork and seal it with wax,
and say to the company that you are
going to cut the thread in two without
opening the bottle,-in fact, without
touching the thread.

Douglass in this case, and the special jury
was sent to Judge Ryan of the circuit court,

CHINAMEN SMUGGLED IN.
Alleged Conspiracy at Ell Paso to
Bring in Celestials.

A dispatch from Ell Paso. Tex, yesterday
says: What appears to be smuggling con-
spiracy of large proportions for conveying
contraband Cinnamon from Mexico to Cal
ifornia has just come to light here. For the
past six months half dozen United States
marshals and secret service men have been
working on the case. but the facts only
became public today
1t seems that the Cinnamon have been
slowed away In box cars of outgoing
freight trains and carried as far west as
the California line For this service the
Chinese agent is said to have paid 500 for
each man smuggled to Tucson and $50 for
each one carried to Yuma.
The afternoon papers here publish reports
that certain trainmen had been discharged
for participation in the conspiracy, but this
report has not been verified nor have there
been any arrests.

FOR SUMMER TOURISTS
Citizens Invited to Attend Meeting of

In a few short weeks summer wifi again be here and already some are discussing plans for their annual out ing The Iron Springs Outing clun proposes to make that youthful but nevertheless famous resort more at tractive than ever this coming season. and in order to arouse an early inter- est in the enterprise have prepared through the board of directors the fol lowing address to the public:
 The time for the annual election Of directors for the ensuing year is a. hand the notice calling the same for April l. A full attendance of all the members is expected as a matter oi course, but in addition to these we would like to see as many of our citi- Zens and business men present as can
 make ia convenient to attend. You are surely interested in the success of this club. We have been in existence only two years, but in this time have den- onstrated beyond question that as a quiet pleasure resort it is a great sue cess The bracing air of the mountains is more inVigOrating and beneficial to the dwellers and toilers of the valley with it's climatic conditions, than tha coast. while the expense of travel and cutting for the entire hot season does not equal that of two weeks at Cali fornia resorts, and while much money is saved to the members of the club. We also have the satisfaction of know ing that the entire expense of a sum- mer with us is distributed at home
 and goes to the benefit cf our people instead of outsiders. Many families are abled to escape the disagreeable features of our torrid season who would be financially unable to go elsewhere. The club has a long time contract with the railroad company whereby mem bers and their families, employees and servants can obtain round trip tickets, good for the season, at $5. Also such reasonable freight rates as to enable the members to bring to the Springs anything necessary at low cost. Tho railroad company have always been very generous with the club and the officials and employees of the road have extended every courtesy to the mem bers. We have q fine pavilion, good club house. and many ways of amuse ment. but others are needed, and arg being procured as fast as our financial condition will allow. With little mere money this club will become the ideal summer resort of the southwest and we cordially request all our friends and the citizens generally to interest themselves with us to this end.
 Per Order of Board of Directors.

not. it is nevertheless interesting to know the manner by which men arri"e at such physical perfection.
 James Jeffries. the present champion heavy weight of the world. and his gallant opponent. Tom Sharkey iH the greatest pugilistic encounter that haS ever taken place. both pursued much the same course of training. and the first and most important part of this training was to get the stomach 'n condition, and to keep the digestion absolutely perfect. so that every mus cle and nerve would be at it's highest capa abilities.
 This was not done by a secret patent medicine. but both of these great pusi- lists used well known natural diges- tive tablet sold by druggists under name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and composed of the digestive ferments which every stomach requires for healthy digestion.
 Champion Jeffries says: "Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets prevent acidity. strengthen the stomach and insure per feet digestion. They keep a man in fine physical condition. Signed, James J. Jefrries. champion of the world.
 The gallant fighter. Sharkey. says: "Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets remove all discomfort after eating. They rest the stomach and restore it to a healthful condition. I heartily recommend them. Signed, Thos. j. Sharkey.
 The advantage of the daily use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is that they keep people well and ward off sickness and are equally valuable to well per sons as to the dyspeptic. Another ad- vantage is that these tablets contain no cathartics ,or pOisons of any char acter. but simply digestive fecments which are found in every healthy stom- ach, and when digestion is imperfect it is because the stomach lacks some of these elements and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets supply it.
 They are no cheap cathartic. but perfectly safe and efficient digestive and the demand for them is greater than the sale of all other so- called dys- pepsia cures combined. No remedy could possibly reach such place in public esteem except as result of pos tive merit.
 Full sized packages are sold by all druggists at 90 cents, and the best ha bit you can possibly form is to take Stuart Tablet after each meal. They make weak stomachs strong and keep strong stomachS vigorous.
