Many a Slip.

There's many slip 'twixt the cup
and the lip" has a classical origin.
Ancecs, the helmsman of the ship
Argo, was told by a seer that he
would not live to drink his own wine.
Anceos Immediately ordered a bottle
of wine from his own vineyard to be
placed before him, and called for the
seer in order that he might laugh at
the refutation of his representations,
when the latter remarked: There's
many a slip 'twixt the cup and the
lip" At that moment Anceos was
informed that wild boar was ravag-
ing his vineyards, whereupon he i'm
mediately set down his cup and set
out to do personal battle with the
boar, and was killed in the conflict.

AT A 'GHOST PARTY"

Minneapolis Junior Joural:-I
have be frightened many times, but
my greatest scare happened in this
way. One time I decided to spend
the evening with my friend. After
supper we went over to neighbor's
and asked the girls if they could
come over and tell ghost stories.
About 8 O'Clock we went upstairs,
blew out the lamp, locked the door,
and all sat on the floor and listened
to the stories.
When we were in the midst of a
very "sca rey" story, we heard some
thing moving under the bed. We
held our breath, afraid to move,
when suddenly there appeared a
ghost: at least we supposed it was
one. We sat still and stared; it
came to the center CT the circle and
took something from under it's arm.
1t next took a match and lit it and
then we knew what it was. My
friends elder sister, having heard
us plan for our ghost stories, dress:
ed as a ghost and thought she would

New York Commercial: The law
is certainly paying profession. 1t
has cost the heirs of the late Senator
James G. Fair the modest little sum
of 81, 945, 600 to settle the estate of
the old miner of Nevada-and all
that vast sum has been poured into
the pockets of the attorneys who
were fortunate enough to be engag-
ed in tho settlement. The fee of
one firm was $500, 900, of another
$175, 900 and the smallest was $685.
900. When wealthy man dies and
his estate thus passes in part into
circulation through the medium of
outsiders-and, possibly for the COM
at large is well. But it
is seldom that lawyers secure so
large slice as they have done in
this instance nearly one half of the
entire estate. It is some satisfaction
to know that, by the expenditure of
this vast sum, the fight over the Fair
millions has been ended at last. A
very neat little amount remains for
the heirs, which does not always
happen when the lawyers get their
fingers in the pie.

Big Dan Shell was here one even
ing last week on his way home from
one of his Chippewa county land
deals. 1t looks as though he has
things all his own way down IN
Mobiles, and as that county has $50
more Republican votes than Murray
county it looks like forlorn hope
for any Murray county man to go
up against Dan single-handed.
There is some quiet talk among
the Demo-Pops of this county OF
running C.E. Weld for state senator.
They may do this in case Dan Shell
is to be the Republican candidate.
They figure that the Republicans OF
this county will be so mad about
Mobiles county hogging. the senator
ship that they will turn in and vote
for Weld against Shell and that with
Shells many Mobiles county enemies
Weld would be easily elected. But
Murray county Demo-Pops have
been badly fooled before on their
legislative OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Davenport Democrat: Bryan
can't keep his hands off the presi.:
Dental proposition. He can't take
q hint, even when a whole brick
block falls on his head. Having
heard twice, with all the emphasis
that should be necessary, that the
people of the United States do not
want him or his theories in the adj
ministration, he continues to come
up and plan things for the demo-
cratic party, to it's undoing. His
latest is to appear in conjunction
with Hon. Tom L. johnson, of Cleve-
land, a man so extreme and i'm
practicable in his ideas that if he
were to be presented as the demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency,
as it is reported Mr.. Bryan designs
to have done, he would be more
ruinously beaten than ever Bryan
was, and that gentleman holds the
record to date. The statesman from
the Platte will not 60 back and sit
down. 1t becomes necessary for
the people to do it for him about SO
often.

The statistics of the Department
OF Agriculture show that the
number of oxen and other cattle in
the United States was 1861, 239 in
1892 and %, 610,054 in 1900. There
was, if these statistics are correct,
a decline in the number of cattle of
no less than 5000, 900 head. There
was meantime an increase of IA, O00,-
900 in the population. The statis-
tics of the Department of Agricul-
ture have fallen under suspicion of
late by reason of it's own admission
of inadequacy in it's reports of grain
production. There seems no posi-
bility, however, that discrepancies
in the departments figures go so far
as the apparent falling off in the
cattle supply. Moreover, there
would be a relative decrease in the
cattle supply, even if the number of
head in the country were as large
now as in 1892, on account of the
incresase of population during the
interim. Perhaps the proceedings
which have been begun by Attorney
General Knox will tend to throw
more light upon the perplexed prob
lem.

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.

s ACCIDENTAL SdOOllNt.
Albert Fauskee, out near Asker,
narrowly escaped what came near
being fatal accident the first of
the week. It appears had taken the
shot with him after hay and had
laid it on top of the pile from which
he was loading. As the hay was
being drawn out from underne ath
the gun was caused to slip to one
side and discharging the load of No.
4 shot through the top of the hay
pile and into Fauskee's shoulder,
neck and side of the face. DR..
Drinnan was sent for, and at last
reports the patient is getting along
nicely. As he was within six feet Of
the muzzle of the gun, the fact that
the charge first lassed through the
haypile is all that prevented the
accident from resulting much more
seriously or even fatally.-Ponoka,

DEAD FOR five YEARS.
W. HI. Rae, Of Fargo, Startles
the Physicians of the World.


Comes to Life Alter Five years.
Fargo, ND, March12.-The most
remarkable case ever brought before
medical men is that of W. Fl. Rae,
Of this city, who was supposed to be
dead to the world, but who is now
sound mentally and as healthy as
any man could be.
Mr.. Rae suffered many years with
stomach troubles. He suffered
greatly from biliousness and habit
ual constipation. We visited many
physicians and spent hundreds of
dollars without any beneficial re-
suits. AS time passed he grew
weaker and lost so much in Weight
that his friends hardly knew him,
He was slowly dying; in fact, he
was then dead to the world and all
his friends. AS last resort he
went to a noted New York specialist
who prescribed for him a remedy
which is known for it's famous cures
of all stomach and bowel complaints.
This remedy, which is Cascarine,
cured Mr.. Bae, and. he is now a we'll
man, after five years Of horrible
suffering.
''Cascarine, says Mr.. Rae, ''is
wonderful. It cured me in a short
time, when pills and those cheap and
nasty tablets made me worse. I am
ready at any time to tell anyone
about my cure, if they will write
me-" If you write Mr.. Bae inclose
stamped envelope for reply.
Cascarinei salaxatlve and does
not grippe. It is easy to take and
will not iniure the most delicate
stomch. Cascarine is not a new
remedy, but has been prescribed
by the most procurement physicians
for the past ten years. Cascarnie
is you very best alaxtive. Every
home should have a bottle near at
hand, and every mother and father
should see that the children are
given no other laxative. Cascarine
sells for 80 cents per bottle at all
druggists. If your druggist hash t
it, tell him to get it for you.

A MORNING BLAZE.

II About seven O'Clock Monday as
our citizens were rising from theil
couch and the early risers were 60
ing to their daily labor, the fire bell
rang and the hooking bird whistle
sang it's frey warning that there
was a fire in I'M. Shanahan g Office.
The 6remen as is usual were promp-
thy on the scene and no time was
lost in getting a stream of water
turned on the flames. The origin Of
the fire is mystery and the only
supposition that can be given is that
mice had accidently caused it by
matches that were in or on the
office desk. Mr.. Shanahan says
there has been previous to this time,
indications of mice in the desk and
the fire started in one end of the
desk as that article was burned
most. 1t was a large roller top desk
and one end of the top portion was
entirely burned. The room was
not very large but very close so that
NO air reached the fire, had there
been any draft the fire would have
broken out, and with the high wind
that prevailed, the firemen would
have had a stubborn fight. Mr..
Shanahan had occasion to be at the
office at two a. m. and everything
was alright then. The damage
will amount to at least one hundred
dollars.
Il, Newton Fauske g first thought was
for the safety of the Mccormick
orders which were in the desk and
to his qualification were found al
right. Bert Forbes was the first
person to discover the fire.

SEVENTY FIVE HEAD HERE
FORD CATTLE TO BE
SOLD,

The cattlemen and farmers Of
South Dakota. Minnesota and the
northwest generally are certainly
to be congratulated. for the an
nouncement that on June ~, Gud-
CELL & Simson, Independence, No.,
and G. A. Stannard, Emporia, Kan,
will sell rs head of registe.d Here
fords at Sioux Falls, South Dakota,
means that some good Herefords
of the most approved breeding will
find homes in this section. The
Herefords have long been favorites,
especially throughout that portion
of the country whore cattle are de-
manded that have the constitutions
and hardness to Withstand the
occasional severe climate, and that
can also turn to the best advantage
the natural grasses. in the possess
ion of these qualities the Hereford
has no serious rival.
The sale at this particular time,
when the cattle can be turned out
to pasture and kept for conider-
able time at practically no expense,
makes greater profits on, the invest
ment surety, and any ranchman,
breeder or farmer who is in q
position to add few good ones to
his herd, or who contemplates max
ing start with the right kind Of
breeding stock, and fails to attend
this sale is tempting fate by over
looking a great opportunity. To
all interested it may be we'll to state
that these cate are all we'll bred, Of;
good ages and in good condition.
About IS are females, mostly with
calves at foot or in cal f, and few
yearling heifers. The thrifty bulls
are all of serviceable ages and are
ready to go to work. They are fair
representatives of the two great
breeding establishments consigning.
them, and the offering is in every.
way just what might be expected
when the reputation of the breeders
and their cattle are considered. '">
The consigno1s do not expect q
record breaking average, but they
are going to sell good useful cattle
and at whatever prices the resident
of the country tributary to Sioux
Falls are willing to pay. Write
either Gudgell & Simpson or c. A.
Stannard for a catalogue and plan
to attend this sale.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

COUNCIL PRCCEEDlNGS.
The council met in special session
Wednesday evening all members
present.
The matter of nu mbering houses
and placing street signs was discuss
ed at length after which resolution
was passed authorizing the Weber
Directory company to do the work.
The village to have eighty street
signs put up free and two for twenty
five cents or as many more as the
village may need. The street signs
to be put up before the house
numbers are. The price Of house
numbers not to exceed forty cents a.
kouse. The blocks will be number
ed one hundred to the block which
is known as the Philadelphian
system. It will not be compulsory
for any one to take a number but it
ia hoped every resident will as the
convenience will be inestimable.
The plat of Atkinson and Boberg
was accepted.
As the part of the residents on 8th
ave in block 20 have built a four
foot walk before being ordered to do
so, and not building walk the re-
uuired five foot, Mr.. Blume was
granted permission to construct a.
walk to correspond in width with
that already laid.
Bill of A diva n for printing
and publishing, $3.50 allowed.
A report of Prof. Father relative
to impro vements at water station
was read. The council expressed a
desire to get the report before the
people and the same is published in
this issue in another column. 1t
will seem from the report that
$15, 900 is needed for the improve
ments and to secure this money it
will be necessary to sell bonds and
to do this special election will be
necessary and whether the people
want to do this or not is for them
to decide. The council probably
will call a special election as soon as
the people have had ample time to
discuss and consider the subject.

\ Pleasant Visitor.

The Journal-Miner received very pleasant call today from Frederick W. Hyde of the Jamestown, New York, Evening Journal. Mir. Hyde is paying his first visit to Arizona and is the guest of w. A. Kent the Oriental Mining Co.,, who ac- companied him on his visit to this office and who has taken great pleas ure in showing him the wonders and natural resources of this sec ton. MT. Hyde read the account of the big fire of July, 1900, in the Journal Miner, and the new town which he sees today on the site of that heap of ashes and debris of the morning of July 15, 1900, he says is a revelation and surprise to him, and a monument to the pluck and energy of our citizens. MT. Hyde and MT. Kent left on today's train for Jerome to take a look at the plant of the biggest copper mine in the world, and from there will go to the Grand Canyon to see the worlds greatest natural wonder, and from there the former will re- turn to his home in New York. NIT. Hyde is a very intelligent and ob- serving gentleman, and being con nected with one of the principal papers in the state of New York, outside of the city of New York, from his personal observations dur ing his visit here he will be able to correct some false impressions en- tertained about Arizona among eastern people.
