According to the report of the marine hospital service, Arizona leads all other divisions of the United States in the matter of health. Her death rate last year was only 3.33 per 1000. If the deaths of hopeless invalids who come to the territory were elim- mated the record of Arizona would be still better. The death rate in eastern cities averages close to 20 per 1,000.

In a drunken melee near the In dian school at Truxton this week, in which some 15 or 20 Walapais took part, an Indian known as Kate Crozier struck another Indian named Johnny Haneta in the head with a rock, and thinking he had killed him, dragged him to the railroad and placed the body on the track. Johnny revived just be- fore the first train came along and crawled away. Johnny is the In dian who was shot in the hand some time ago while helping Dep uty Sheriff John Harris arrest an old Indian for assault to murder. Kate Crozier has disposed of one Indian and one white man in the same manner he tried on Johnny Haneta, and was tried for murder on one of the Mohave Miner

that money Of one of the finest and best
equipped library homes in the west.
The patronage of the Lincoln public
library has more than doubled since it re-
moved from its temporary and inconvcn-
lent quarters in the Oliver theater a month
ago to the new building erected through
the beneicence of Andrew Carnegie. The
books of the institution go into all kinds
of homes and delight several thousand per
sons. The rich and the poor enjoy equal
rights and privileges in this library, ana
they patronize it alike, though the people
of the latter class, of course, predominant.
In planning and constructing the Car
negie building more attention was given
to its general serviceability than to its
architectural beauty. 1t is the only abb
s~olutely fireproof building in the city. Its
location is almost at the center of the

of the library. The foundation is OF Bed
ford stone. The main walls are of gray
pressed brick with terra Gotta trimmings
of the game color. The roof is of red tile
and surmounted by a low dome. No wood
is found in the building except the doors,
window frames and floors, which are laid
over cement.
The basement rises to a height OF ten
feet above the ground. 1t contains a large
room for a museum, two class or club
rooms. a bicycle room. several storage and
packing rooms, lavatories and rooms for
employees.
The books are kept on the main floor,
which is so arranged that one attendant at
the counter has command Of the whole In
stitution. This floor is entered by a broad
flight Of easy steps, leading through an en-
trance floored with marble and hands )me

When, some years ago, the Lake Shore
railroad put On a service of flyers and
imposed an extra rate for tickets on the
special trains, John Newell, then ~preASent
of the system, decided that passes, nv
rate tickets, etc, should not be accepted as
fare on the limited express runs. OF course
there was no intention that the restriction
concerning passes should comprehend the
'COurtesies" extended to officials of other
railroads, says the Philadelphia Times, but
a clerks mistake forwarded to D. w. Cald-
well, president Of the Nickel Plate road, a
pass inscribed:
Not good on Lake Shore limited trains. -
Within twonty-fouT hours the mails car
ried to Newell a pass signed by Caldwell
and bearing the inscription in red ink
across the face:

Newell and Caldwell were enemies from
that day until the death of the former.

They Killed great many birds and squirrels, put only one turkey and no deer, as they aid not have any hounds. They lived nigh on squirrels and birds, however The waters were too high to fish any.
 Mir Norris came home a day or so .n advance Of the others. He stopped over in Demopolis one night, and while there had quite an experience. He says that they must have gotten hold of some of Alger's famous army canned beef, as all who partook of the canned meats at the supper table were fearfully sick in the night. Eight people were thus made sick and Mir. Norris says that he became so very i'll that he had to have a doctor curing the night and but for prompt re- lief he believed he would have died.
