McKinley's Birthday Exercises.

McKinley's birthday was appro- priately celebrated by the pupils of St. Joseph's academy on Wednesday afternoon. A fine literary and musi- cal program was rendered. Theexer- cises were held in the assembly room, which was gracefully festooned with national colors and mourning. A picture of the martyred president wreathed in carnations occupied a prominent place on the platform.
 The program was as follows:
 ''The Burial of the Hero" piano Misses Nina and Vera Green wood.
 Tribute to McKinley-Miss Cora Thomas.
 'Lead Kindly Light Misses Rob inson, Curry, Derr and Hanna.
 Recitation, As Thy Day Thy Strength Shall Be"-Miss Katherine Barnett.
 Instrumental solo, Spring Song" Miss Grace Riemer.
 Recitation, "Droop Starry Flag Miss Anna Burke.
 Alice Where Art Thou"-violin, Miss Vera Greenwood; piano, Miss Nina Greenwood.
 Pantomine-"Nearer My God to Thee"
 Recitation-"A Deep Grief. (Ded- cetory)-Miss Norma Fernwalt.
 Finale, "The Presidents Last Words, Goodbye to All Goodbye" Chorus.
 The programme was finely render ed and the exercises of a most inter esting character. St. Joseph's acad- emy deserves great credit for the ob- servance of this day and so far as heard from was the only school in the territory, public or private, that oo- served the day.

Good Advice.

James Parton concluded a very suggestive article upon the habits and death of Bayard Taylor, whom he had as personal friend, warned against the danger of wine and beer drinking and smoking, as follows:
 Mental labor is not hostile to health and life; but I am more than ever convinced that man who lives by his brain is of all men bound to avoid stimulating his brain. In this climate, to stimulate the brain by al chohol and tobacco is only a slow kind of suicide. Even the most mod crate use of the mildest wine is not without danger, because the peculiar exhaustion caused by severe mental labor is constant and urgent temp tation to increase the quantity and strength of the potation. 1 would say to every young man in the United States, if I could reach him, if you mean to attain one of the prizes of your profession and live a cheerful life to the age of eighty, throw away your dirty old pipe, put your cigars in the stove, never buy any more, be- come an absolute teetotaler, take your dinner in the middle of the day and rest one day in seven."

Arrested as a Safe Cracker.

Dr. Alexander J. McIvor-Tyndall, the famous telepathist, who has been engaged to give demonstrations of his mysterious powers at the Dake opers, house next Friday evening has had some wierdly interesting experi- ences, one of the most unusual of which occurred in Seattle, Wash, some seven years ago. The feats of the great thought reader were the talk of the Pacific coast. During a conversation one night at the Panier club, Herman Miller, then a promi- nent business man of Seattle, made a wager of Sl,000 that Tyndall couldn't open his safe by reading the combination through his (Hiller's) mind. The wager was accepted by Al. Marks, then McIvor-Tyndall's manager. Tyndall being securely blindfolded, the three started in the direction of Killers place of business, Tyndall leading the way at break neck pace. Arriving at the door, they of course found it locked. h. stantly y without word being uttered the mystic reached into Hiller's pocket and extracted a bunch of keys. Selecting the correct one he quickly opened the door, located the safe and in the space of a few seconds the safe was open ana the bet won. At this point new policeman on the force seeing dim light in the rear of the office and anxious to make a rec ord for himself, instantly conceived the idea of burglars, rushed in promptly, arrested them and march ed them to the station at the point of a revolver. Here they were recog- nized by Chief Rogers and released, much to the chagrin of the new po- iceman.
 Those who have investigated psy- chic phenomena are convinced that there is power of thought transfer ence and psychic impression as rare as it is wonderful. This power is de- veloped in Meteorological to a re- markable degree, enabling him to perform feats which to the average mind are inexplicable and almost un- canny.

Tyndall's Wild Ride.

Prof. Tyndall, who is to appear at the opera house this evening, gave a public exhibition at noon today of his wonderful powers by taking blind fold ride and discovering an article which had been hidden by commit mittee selected for the purpose.
 The committee consisted of B. R. Mcdowell, Walter G. Reese, Doe Mcdonald, Fen s. Hildreth, Earl
 Sanford and the editor of the Jour nal-Miner. The object selected for concealment was small flag. With it in their possession the committee left Hotel Burke in a hack, leaving Professor Tyndall in the hotel. They drove south on Montezuma street, east to Marina, north to Willis, west to Cortez, south to Gurley, west to Granite, and turning there retraced their course back to the hotel build ing, and entering Hildreth's drug store secreted the flag in a drawer of sulphur, located in a long line of similar ones. Prof. Tyndall, who had been blinfolded in the hotel was then taken to the hack and mounted the seat, and with E. R. Mcdowell of the committee sitting by his side and holding one hand, he took the lines in the other hand and started on his wild ride as rapidly as he could get the horses to run. He went over the identical course travelled by the con- mittee with the exception of that DOT ton between Montezuma and Granite street on Gurley. Instead of making this portion of the drive he drove di rectly to the corner and dismounting dragged Mir. Mcdowell after him through the same part of the store followed by the committee, through the main part, instead of going be- hind the counter, and went directly to the rear, where he went behind the counter, among the maze of drawers, and opened two of them before get ting the right one. He was appar- ently under very highly nervous strain, as his hands trembled violent ly during the process. His actions were quite rapid and it did not take him half minute to discover the hid ing place of the little flag, which he drew out and waved before the crowd which had collected. The test was very successful one. Prof. Tyndall is only billed in Prescott for one night.

A NOTED APACHE.
He Stood off the San Carlos Gar
 rIsOn For a Week.

Among the Apache Indians who came to Tombstone Thursday as wit nesses against the Indian who mur- dered his conrad scout, Corporal Irish, 1" month ago between Wilcox and Fort Grant, was Chil-chu-ana, a noted character of the San Carlos reservation. He is the largest Indian on the reservation and weighs more than 250 pounds. He is chief of the tribe near the Rice Indian school on the San Carlos reservation.
 Several years ago he violated some of the agency rules and Capt. Bullis sent the police after him. Chil-chu- ana, however, got word that the In dian agent desired an interview with him and had gathered a number of his braves for the purpose of defying the agency authority. When the In dian police arrived at the chiefs wick iup they were told to return and re- port that the chief refused to surren- der, which they did.
 Chil-chua-ana knew the soldiers would go after him, and gathering all the grub" in sight went with dozen of his tribe to Natural Rock Fort in a canyon, which could be approached only in one direction. Here he await ed the coming of the Blue coats" For ten days he stood off the troops, who did not dare approach the In- dian stronghold. Many pow-wows were held by messengers, but Chil- chu-ana was obstinate. In the mean time Capt. Bullis had sent to Fort Grant for cannon which he planted on nearby hill, safe from harm from the arms of the Indians. At the first shot from the cannon Chil-chu-ana hoisted his ''gee string" and surren- dered. He was soon released from the guard house and ever since has been heap big chief among his peo- pie.
 He is a thrifty old Indian, and be- sides half dozen squaws is the own CT of many cattle and horses. He went to Washington and shook hands with Grover Cleveland, a fact which has also added to his distinction.- Bisbee Review.

The Anglo-American, of the City Mexico offers the following sugges- ton to MT. Carnegie: Andrew Car negie might contribute some of his surplus wealth to the deserving poor. Books are cheap and public libraries are plenty. Bread and meat, how ever are out of the reach of hundreds of thousands of deserving people who happen to be without them through no fault of t5eir own. The Carnegie idea of philanthropy is simply an advertisement of self. He expects the libraries which he has founded to standas a monument when he is dead. So they will. But bet ter monument would be few thous- and deserving poor made happier by some of his surplus wealth.

4 Shock to Consumption.

Experiments are being made on the most elaborate scale in London with notifications of Tesla's electric cur rents, which he insists will cure con sumption. The Herald in its cable letter from London says the most re- markable results have been achieved and an elaborate establishment has been fitted up and consumptive pa tients have been absolutely cured. By a certain process the patient has been able 10 receive current of S0,- 900 volts. The awe inspiring force of this voltage may be best appreciated when it is remembered that only five hundred volts is employed in driving trains on a railway. Yet the patient is not conscious of the enormous cleo trical pressure.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

A Chicago maa has effected a cor ner on oats and they do say that he ''feels his oats."
 The American hog has a European rival. Denmark has come into the field as producer and exporter of hogs and hog products, with a growth at least interesting if not suggestive to American producers of a commod- itywhose export value grew from SS4,. 908,698 in 1891 to S1I9,96I, ,5O1 in 1901.
 The resolution binding the mem bers to seek no patronage at the hands of a republican president seat tered the democrats at the recent house caucus like sheep. The small ness of their numbers, however, pre- vented any disastrous panic.
 A story has been cabled from Chicago to Germany saying that the chief of police of Chicago declines to become responsible for the safety of Prince Henry while in Chicago on account of the anarchists. The story is probably manufactured one in tended to frighten the prince, but it will scarcely work.

HOW TO PREPARE.

The first thing to do is to cure diseases of the delicate organism which under mine the health and strength. Regu- larity should be established, disagreeable and weakening drains must be stopped, weakness must be cured.
 uI have taken six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription" writes Miss NJ. Fyfe, of Orilla. Simcoe Co.,, Ont, rand two bottles of the Pleasant Pellets, as you advised for congestion of the uterus, and for weakness, and can safely say that your medicine has been the means of restoring me to good health again, which had not had for over three years, until taking your medicine. I thank you for your kind and prompt at- tention to my letter asking advice"
 Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription meets the needs of women at every pc riod of life. It is invaluable in that transition period when the girl becomes a woman, establishing regularity and pro- noting the general health. It dries of fensive and enfeebling drains, heals in- fiamuation and ulceration and cures female weakness. From the time of the first change from girlhood to womanhood until the last change of life, in all the weakness of womanhood and trials of motherhood Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription is a true woman's friend. It makes women strong and well.
 Tt IS a pleasure for me to recommend your medicine, 'Favorite Prescription and Golden Medical Discovery writes Mrs. Rhoda Russell, of Corbet, Navarro Co, Texas. cI had suffered for years with disagreeable drain and other fe- male troubles, but now, thanks to your medicines, I am much better and your medicines have done me more good than all else. I took nine bottles of Favor ite Prescription and six of Golden Medical Discovery Had it not been for Dr. Pierce's medicines no doubt I would have suffered continually the rest of my life. I shall always praise these preparations. The cost of them is SO lit- tie compared with the good felt, yet I eve you for what you have done for me-"

Rare Treat in the Occult.

The human mind is fascinated by nothing so much as the mysteriou: and unexplainable and Dr. Alexander J. McIvor-Tyndall is certainly a mar vel in this line. The entertainment tonight at the Dake Opera House is 8 grand demonstration of those mys- terious phenomena which are classed as manifestations of unseen force Whether or not you believe in occult power, you cannot afford to miss this opportunity of seeing a man who has startled the world with his mvsteri- ous powers and puzzled those who had sought to find clue to his won derful demonstrations. The enter tainment is as exciting as a melo- drama and as amusing as a farce comedy,
 The question is, is NlcIvor-Tyndall, able in "A Night of Mystery" to perform marvels in the realm of spirit force that have earned for him the title of ''The Worlds Mystifyer." !"
 The great English mystic presents in "A Night of Mystery" some mar velous and startling effects of an in visible power. Spiritualists skeptics and amusement seekers are alike en- tertained, amused and mystified by the astounding features introduced in McTvor -Tindall's demonstrations.
 Apart from its mysterious features, the program is one of continuous ex- citement and laughter. The feats of the odic force and mind magic, which excite such comment in the east, will be fully reproduced. Some of the scenes enacted are:
 "The Mysterious Lady and how She was Discovered" Dead or Alive" ''The Murder Disclosed" "The Ghostly Smoker" "The Talk- ing Wire" and other puzzl-ng and startling acts.

SOLUTION OF INDIAN QUESTION.

Elsewhere in this issue an article appears from the Globe-Democrat in reference to reforms which it is proposed to introduce for more rap idly bringing the Indians into con- dition of civilization. Among these reforms are cutting the hair of the males and prohibiting the use of paints by both sexes. Now comes the information from Globe that radical changes are also contemplated in the matter of issuing rations, or rather to cease issuing rations. All of these are moves in the right direction, and if the suggestion of President Roosevelt in his message is now act ed on long stride will be made in the solution of the Indian question.
 The presidents suggestion was to break up the tribal relations existing among the Indians just as rapidly as it can be accomplished. This is really the starting point for placing the Indian on the road toward civili- zation. Educating the young Indians and permitting them to return and associate with their relatives in their tribal conditions is practicallya waste of money. The Indian school grad uate is not away from school two years until he is practically in the same condition that those who never saw the inside of a school room are He may retain some of the informa- ton obtained at school, but he puts it to no practical use. Instead of be- ing help or an inspiration to those around him, in assisting them to make step towards progress, they drag him back to their level. The way of dressing and the mode of liv- ing learned at the Indian school is discarded. the hair is permitted to grow long again and the paint of the savage is again adopted, and he lives just like others of the tribe.
 The Indian question can only be solved by teaching the Indians to work, making him self reliant and self supporting; insist on his adopt ing civilizing mode of dressing, break up his tribal relations and get him to live as civilized people live, rather than as savages live.
