Michael GoIdwater Dead.

Mike Goldwater died at San Francisco Sunday night at 10 o'clock and was buried yesterday.
 Michael Goldwater was one of the earliest pioneers of Arizona and one of her best known and highly respected citizens. He came to the territory in the eos, shortly after the war, first en- gazing in business at La Paz, this county, on the Colorado river, with his brother Joseph, now dead. When he arrived the only town of any moment in the western part of the territory was La Paz, seven miles south of Ehrenberg. Today it is deserted ruin, though there are many houses still standing and some rich placer mines in that vicinity.
 Mir. Goldwater had reached the ad- vanced age of S3 years, and in view of the fact about three years ago he sui fered a stroke of paralysis, his death was not especially surprising, though he was till recently enjoying a fair measure of health. He leaves a wife and three sons-Morris, Henry and Barron-and one daughter.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP Cured by One Bottle of Chamber
 Iain's Cough Remedy.

"When 1 had an attack of the grip last winter (the second one) 1 actually cured myself with one bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank w. Perry, editor of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N. Y. This is the hon. est truth. at times kept from cough ing myself to pieces by taking 8 tea spoonful of this remedy, and when the coughing spell would come on at night I would take dose and it seemed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass off and would go to sleep perfect ly free from cough and its accompany ing pains. To say that the remedy acted as a most agreeable surprise is putting it very mildly. I had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because I had never tried it for such a purpose, but it did, and it seemed with the second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, and had not used the contents of one bottle before MT. Grip had bid me adieu. For sale at Ketcherside's drug store.

Beware of OintmentS for Catarrh
 That Contain Mercury

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on pre- scriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten-fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, man. ufactured by F. J. Cheney x Co.,, Tole- do, Ohio, contains no mercury, and is ta- ken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Halls Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is ta- ken internally and made in Toledo, O., by F. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonials free.

All true lovers of sport in this coun- try will look forward with much inter- est to the arrival of the new cup chal- lenger, Shamrock H., which the En- gliSh people expect will lift the cup this year. While America has held the supremacy in yacht building for years, she also holds the supremacy in medicine. Take HOstetter's Stomach Bitters as an example. No other coun- try in the world has been able to pro- duce medicine so good to restore the appetite, to build up the run down sys- tenn in the spring, or to cure nausea, indigestion. fatulency, dyspepsia, con- stipated bowels, biliousness or malaria, fever and ague. It is therefore deserv- ing of trial. Be sure to get the gen uine with our private stamp over the neck of the bottle. It will cure you.

To Grow SeedIess Watermelons.

Plant melons the usual way and when the vine is three or four feet long cover the vine over with dirt about two feet from the hill or root, and in few days if the soil is kept moist, it will be found the vine has taken root where it was buried; then after it has started a strong new root sever the vine near the place where it was covered and all melons growing on that vine will be seedless.
 Care must be takon not to cover the bud or tip end of vine, only cover a section of vine from six to ten inches in length.

Indians on the California side of the Colorado river are busy preparing their land in anticipation of a big rise in the river, due to the big snowfalls in the upper country. As rule the crops raised by the Yumas are confined to corn, beans and watormelons, and while these things last they work not, neither do they spin, but loaf and eat. As on the great Nile of old, the one overflow of water must suffice for growing and maturing the crops. Additional mois- ture is drawn to the plant life by plant ing the seed in holes from six to twelve inches deep, it therefore has this depth of drainage to draw on. Watermelon vines, particularly, thrive well under these conditions and produce abundant ly. To dig holes for field of corn would entail too much hard work for poor Lo, hence he leaves it to rustic as best it can, on top of the ground.
