HIGHLANDERS' BAND.
A Very Pleasing Entertainment GiveI
 by Above Musical Organization.

'They came; they sang, played and danced, they pleased aud. fence. They were the Kilties, alias the Scotch Highlanders band. Their fame had been heralded in advance of their coming, and despite all the praise that had been bestowed on them and the announcements of what might be expected of them the aud fence which went to see and hear them was not disappointed.
 They gave a performance in the afternoon, at which there was large audience and another one in the even- | ing at which the opera house was fill ed even to standing room. Coming so soon after the Royal Italian band of course those who attended both per formances naturally make compari- sons between the two. While the Italians were more finished musicians and their music somewhat smoother the entertainment as a whole will stand comparison with the Italians. There is a difference in the instru- ments used by the two organizations and while the Italian band gives band music exclusively in its entertain ments, those of the Kilties' are varied with vocal selections and dancing.
 As a director Mir. Robinson of the Kilties is master and has his musi- cians we'll under the control of his baton.
 Their opening piece was an Ameri- can patriotic air. The lights were all turned out and the band opened the piece behind the curtain in soft tones. The curtain slowly arose, when the lights were turned on presenting the costumed players to the audience with beautiful effect.
 The programme consisted of a va riety of selections, the third number being a Scotch selection by Godfrey, and it was so Scotch that you could detect the accent on the notes of the horns. It was as beautiful though as it was Scotch and elicited an enthus- iastic encore from the audience. In fact encores were the order of the evening and were responded to very gracefully.
 Pipe Sergeant Ferguson gave "The Pibroch O Donald Dhu'' on the bag pipes and while the music of this in strument is not appreciated by every one, MT. Ferguson certainly under stands its manipulation thoroughly.
 The Kilties choir rendered Scots Who Hae'' and were recalled twice before the audience was satisfied.
 J.Coates Lock Lockhart sang a vocal solo, which was also encored, and Master Eugene Lockhart pleased the audience by dancing the Highland Fling.''
 The entertainment was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience.
 The band, consisting of between forty and fifty members, was taken by special train at midnight to Ash Fork to connect with number east bound passenger train this morning for Win slow, where they play tonight.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Two or three days ago Lockwood Sturges, of the Prescott Steam Laun dry, received telergam from his wife who is visiting with friends neal Peoria, in the Salt river valley, that their little daughter, Pauline, had been badly injured in a runaway. He went down at once and found the lit tie one very near deaths door. It seems that the gentleman with whose family Mrs. Sturges is visiting was hauling dirt and little Pauline and one of his own children were riding in the wagon with him when the horses became frightened and ran away throwing the man and children out of the wagon. When Pauline was picked up she was found to be badly injured but it is not known whether the horse stepped on her or the wagon struck her on the head but she was hardly expected to live for two days. When last heard from she was improv- ing and was thought to be out of dan

RAILROAD COMPLETED.

W. F. StauntOn, general manager of the Tombstone consolidated mines, stopped over in Phenix yesterday on his way from Tombstone to the Con- gress mine. He brought the interest ing information that wheE he left Tombstone the railroad into that town was practically finished, and that it was undoubtedly completed yesterday. Thus the point definitely marking the Tombstone of the past from the Tombstone of today has been reached at last. The grading of lthe line from Fairbank to the historic mining camp was finished several months ago, but the completion of the railroad has been delayed by lack of steel. Ar rangements are under way for grand celebration at Tombstone within the near future to commemorate the com ing of the railroad. All Southeastern Arizona will take part in the celebra- tion, and it is expected that nearly every body in Bisbee will attend Republican.

CAPTAIN HOBSON'S LECTURE.

Captain Richard P. Hobson, "the hero of the Merrimac" during the Spanish American war delivered his lecture last night in the opera house on "The United States as a World Power" The lecture was given under the auspices of the A. O. U. W. of Prescott, a number of members of the order being on the stage with the speaker.
 That Prescott is not a lecture town
Weekly Arizona journal-miner., 1903-04-01

was amply demonstrated last night
 With all the prestige and prominenc,
 of the lecturer, and with strong ana
 popular secret society working for it
 success, the opera house was little
 more than half filled.
 Captain Fern, of the boy militia
 company, had his company lined uI
 in front of the opera house when Cap
 tain Hobson arrived, and received
 him with open ranks.
 Major Burke who had been invited to seat on the stage in neat little address, Enamed Governor A. O. Brodie for chairman of the occasion, and Governor Brodie introduced Cap tain Hobson to the audience in a brief address, in which he paid high tribute to him both as a soldier and the representative of a high order of citizenship.
 As preface to his lecture Captain Hobson expressed his qualification at being permitted to address a Prescott audience, the town which furnished the first troops for the Spanish-Amer- ican war, the town from which the brave Col. Brodie and Captain O'Neill hailed. His reference to these prominent soldiers of that war was received with the greatest ap- plause.
 Captain Hobson then proceeded to the discussion of his theme, and gave some very interesting statistics in re- ference to the United States as com pared with other nations. Statistics in public address as in a printed ar tiele, as a rule, are very dry affairs, but Captain Hobson has the happy faculty of presenting them in a very interesting manner.
 The central thought of the entire lecture is an appeal for navy of ade- quate proportions to the size of the United States, and to its importance in the affairs of the world.
 His lecture throughout breathed such an air of patriotism and Ameri- canism that any one hearing it having even spark of patriotism in his soul could not help having it famed into a flame. He portrayed the American citizen as the highest and best type of manhood, and the nation composed of such citizens, naturally as the highest, best and purest on earth.
 His pleas for larger navy are very able, pointed and convincing and can not but be convincing to his hearers and his lecture tour will no doubt arouse public sentiment along this line.
 He talked for about two hours, and was listened to with the most rapt at tention by the audience. That the he expressed were fully by the audience was shown by the unstinted applause which was frequently given him.
 In giving statistics of the losses of the civil war, he gave one of the most beautiful eulogies on the union and armies that the writer has ever listened to, extolling the valor of each, and referring to its being war of principle on each side, mistaken though it was on the part of the south. As Captain Hobson is south erner himself, native of Alabama, the sentiments expressed on this sub- ject showed the intense Americanism of the speaker.
 At the conclusion of the lecture Captain Fern lined up his boy sol diers in front of the opera house and the naval hero to the hotel, where he gave them little talk and the crowd which followed them rent the air with cheers.

For blind, bleeding, itch ing and protruding piles, eczema, cuts, burns, bruises and all skin dis eases, DeWitt's Salve has no equal. This has given rise to numerous worthless counterfeits.

Trivial Causes Of Wars.

History records m war that was
caused by a glass OF water-the war OF
the Spanish succession. A lady. Mrs.
Masham, a celebrated court beauty,
was carrying a glass Of water when she
was obstructed by the Marquis de To
rev.. A slight scufie ensued. and the
water was spilled. The marquis lost
his temper, and bad feeling ensued be-
tween the English and French courts,
with the ultimate result that war was
declared. The campaign cost France
many severe battles viz, Blenheim,
1904; Families, 1907; Audenardi, l708,
and Malplaquit, 1903.
Fully as absurd In its origin was the
wal that took place during the COM
monwealth of Modena. A soldier stole
a bucket from a public well belonging
to the state of Bologna. Although the
value Of the article did not exceed a
few pennies. the incident was the signal
for a fierce and prolonged war. Henry,
the king of Sardinia, assisted the Mo
denese to retain the bucket. and in one
Of the subsequent battles he was made
a prisoner. The bucket is still exhibit
ed in the tower Of the cathedral of Mo
dena.

OF LAWSUITS.
A Highwayman Sued His Partnev
For His shnre OF spells.

A Highwayman Sued His Partner
For His share OF spells.
Perhaps the most remarkable suit
ever brought is on the records of the
court of the exchequer in England. II
was filed ON Oct. 8. 1T25. and it sets
forth very clearly that John Eyerit and
Joseph williams were highway rob-
bers.
In Its succinct legal phrases the COM
plant says that the men formed a
partnership for the purpose OF carry
ing on business as h~ighwaymen. II
was mighty profitable, as was shown
by the fact that Everlt sued Williams
for the equivalent Of $4,000, being for
moneys wrongfully appropriated to de-
PENDANTS private purse"
This was the AMOUNT In dispute after
the partnership had lasted only a year.
Then Everlt claimed that he discov-
cred that his partner had not made a
fair division OF the spells.
The action was adJudged to be a
gross contempt of court, and the plain
tiff was ordered to pay all costs, while
the solicitors who served the writ were
fined. One OF the solicitors, n man
named Wreathcock, refused to pay the
fine and was sent to prison for six
months. Both plaintiff and defendant
to the action were subsequently hang
ed, nj at Tyburn and the other at
Maidstone.

he had the protection of a consider
