items of Resources foot up well all round.
Particularly the FirS, National of
FroStburg, which has not only passed
the million mark but climbed to second
place in the couuty's list of ambitious

has been little less than phenomenal,
thing of marvel even To those who have
prOmotcdit its prosperity and eagerly watched
its daily growth from an institution of

When the special arrived at Douglas four more coaches were added to the train. ana the exoTrsionists are due to arrive in the Gate City at o'clock this morning. The number Of tickets sold from each point was as follows: Tombstone, 55: Fairbank. 13: Naco, >106, and z31 0uc of Bisbee. Mir Stiles, the general passenger agent. was advised by wire that the sales at Douglas were over 150 just prior to the starting of the tram, and that undoubtedly there would be at least fifty more added to the above number before the train arrived in the shelter city. This would make up wards of six hundred passengers bound for the circus town, and every -l-Tr1n cement had been made for their comfort. During last evening Mir. Stiles received a telegram from A. W. Clifford. the secretary of the Interna- ticnel Miners Association of Fl Paso, that the excursiopists would be met hy COncho'c hraSe hand and acoorfod to their hotels. The association also rendered to the guests the use of their rooms for the making of appointments, depositi9g Of baggage and packages, writing letters, etc. Fl Paso is becom- ing the best known city in the entire west for taking care of visitors, show ing that they apprecIate every effort that is made to carry strangers with in her gates.

Cross Country Tramp. S''l1z-< .,
 Director Hurst of the gymnasium club will introduce an innovation in gymnastics, at least an innovatio4 to this part of the country. On Satur- day next he will take the juvenile members of the gymnasium for tramp into the mountains near the di- vide vest of the city. A picnic lunch will be taken along by the youngsters. and TO doubt their tramp will permit them to relish if more than one of mothers meals. This practice of taking the boys for long walks will be carried on at intervals during the win ter, and is expected to result in great benefit to them. It is an acknowl- edged fact by all physical culture ex- perts that walking is ore oe the most beneficial of exercises, and goes far toward the upbliiding of the system as well as the development of lung power. Mir. Hurst gives evidence ev- cry day that he is master in the art cf physical culture. and members Of the gymnasium testify in loud. praises of his worth as a director.

BEN MASSEY NOW ON TRIAL FOR
 MURDER <.
DIFFICULTY IN GETTING A JURY.
A SENSATION,

Fl Paso, Tex, Oct. 7.-The case of the State against Benjamin Massey, charged with the killing of Frank Brown, was called for trial yesterday. There was little progress made in the trial. Only two jurors were secured out of a special venire when court aj. jcurned until this morning. At the sug- gestion of the -Irneys, Judge
 thal last evening ordered the sheriff to summon one hundred men. Fifty oi the said venire are to appear at g o'clock this morning. the other two to report at o'clock in the afternoon.
 Massey has kept silent, and the na- ture of his testimony is only known to himself. his attorneys and friends. He waived his preliminary examination and the habeas corpus proceedings were only to fix his bond It is report ed, however, that the character of the testimony to be presented will include receipt for the money over which the sad tragedy occurred and facts tending to show that he had reason to apprehend bodily harm, owing to MT. Browns superior physical strength. On the other hand, it is alleged that the prosecution will lay special emphasis on thed eceased's amiable and genial nature.
 At the convening of court yesterday morning quite sensation was sprung which caused ripple of excitement. Joseph Nennhuber, one of the chief witnesses for the state, and who wlt. messed the killing. did not appear.
 Judge Walthall imposed a fine of $1OO upon Nennhuber. and. at the re- quest of the district attorney, issued an attachment for his arrest. 1
