y Washington d. c., book dealer re-
ports great falling off in the sales of
the works of Dickens and Thackeray.
and gave several illustrations in sup
port Of the assertion that the young
people Of this country are growing up
IN ignorance OF these great writer's. In
conclusion he said:
If the young people we're to devote
themselves as assiduously to Dickens
and Thackeray as theydo to the balder-
dash which seems to form Their mental
staple they would deve.op into better
men and women for it,
We agree with the book-dealer Nine
tenths Of the popular fiction of the day
is trashy, and i'll some cases pernicious,
ard will speedily find its way to Oh

Monkeys

"All well-all happy-lots
of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
Of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of Scott :,
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagcrl
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that /.
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. Of course it's
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul-
sion than new monkeys-and
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkeys
and in man is the same disease.

We believe the people OF the county
generally will fl!ly approve of the ac-
ton OF the commissioners in denying
the petition for the 'IMMEDI ATE cos
SrRrCrloN" ola fire proof vault on the
present court house site, and also for
the erection of an addition TO the pres
cut riclcty Old structure. The COM
nis>oners seem ~ have taken precisely
the same view Of the matter rs did tie
ISLANDER in lis editorial discussion of
il last week. They do not take issue
with their petitioners rs to the need of
safe and commotdouS vault or.the
keeping of the public records, or as to
the advisability OF providing better
oH'ce accommodations for those en-
trusted with the transaction of the
countN's business. But even If there
were funds in the treasury which they
could lawfully use for such improve
nIentS they are opposed to expanding
snch sum rs would he necessary on
the present site, which is only fifty
foot lot in frame range where the
insurance rate il nine and one half per
cent. They believe that the needed
vault and office accommodations should
be provided AZ soon as possible and that
the improvements should be made
upon the fun block Of land belonging
to the county and which has been re-
served for many years for court house
purposes. There the insurance rate
upon "A frame building would be only
about one fifth the rate III the present
location. \ tax levy of ten mills upon
the present assessed valuation would be
sufficient To erect modest and sub
stantia court house and double fire
proof vault that would answer all the
requirements of the county's business
for many years. If such a proposition
Is submitted to the people at the gen
eral election this fall 1t should, and we
believe it VIII, be carried by large
majority.

Cattle Thieves Captured.

Sheriff Jim Parks of Graham county captured six Mexican cattle thieves and killed the seventh on the morning of the 7th, by surprising them in their stronghold on Eagle river.
 The cattle thieves were discovered by ranger called Gunnel, who was do- ing detective work in that region for the ranchmen. On Saturday they drove six head from Bonita river to Eagle and there killed them and burnt the hides and offal to conceal the crime.
 The detective was present at the kill ing and on Sunday morning reported the crime to Sheriff Parks, who organ ized a squad of officers, consisting of himself, John Parks, Gus Hobbs, Pier son Woods and Gunnel, all deputies, who rode to the scene on Sunday night, arriving there about daybreak. The ranch waa surrounded and when an en- trance was made two of the gang had rifles in their hands, and the man who was killed was in the act of raising his gun when the sheriff shot and fatally wounded him and he died few minutes after.
 The names of the captured are Simon Antonia, Martin Santana, FeliciO Mar tinez, Francisco Florez, Valente Parra, Lucera Herrera, and Manuel Martinez, the one who was killed.

Two Very Important industries.

While it may seem broad statement it is probably true that our railroads, with their immense capitalization and army of employees, form one of the most important industries of the coun- try. The other very important indus try is the manufacture of that celebrat- ed family medicine, Hostetter's Stom- ach Bitters. It is compounded with the greatest care and contains nothing that would iniure the most delicate system. It is backed by record of fifty years of cures of sick headache, indigestion, fatulency, belching, dys- pepsia, liver and kidney troubles, and malaria, fever and ague. It is a splen- did spring medicine and blood purifier, and as tonic for the rundown system it is unequaled. Try it. Our private stamp is over the neck of the bottle.

Caught the Carver.

Tomas Garcia, who carved the arm of Manuel Ramirez one night last week, was found and arrested by Constable Meadows on Sunday, the 9th, and was gived a preliminary examination Mon day before Justice Rieff. There were several eye-witnesses to the fight, but not one of them would testify that Gar cia was the right man; even Ramirez himself said he didn't know" It was such plain case that the judge, find ing that it would be impossible to hold Garcia on the evidence, upon motion of the district attorney changed the charge to one of misdemeanor and ad- ministered fine of S25, which was paid. The Sentinel suggests that such bold and fragrant perjury as was in evidence in this case should not go unpunished. It is a menace to law and order and should be ''set down on'i hard. A man who has no regard for his oath is not safe man in any community.
