Fear Dick Militia Law Is Not GOING
10 Work We'll.

Washington. September 25.-OWing
to the confidential character of the
reports made by tue officers of tie
regular army who inspected tne militia
organizations OF the various states and
territories, with a view TO giving them
the benefits of the provisions OF The
Dick militia law. the officials of the war
department have decided to Withhold
the reports from the public. Copies of
the reports will be sent to the GOV
ernors Qf The several states ard terri.
tories. and the question of making the
reports public will be left to their de.
termination.
Reeent correspondence in regard to
the militia law Shows that some Of the
mllltlamen Of the south are alarmed
lest tile enforcement Of the statute
may develop situation not in ac-
cordanee With Southern IDEAS. It is
said that the officers Of white militia
comnaLa ~ New Orleans are con
celned over tie possibility that in at
tending a general encampment they
mlsht=be compelled to deal officially
with negro officers OF equal rank and
that regiments of Southern white sol
dlers might find themselves in the
same command with Northern regi-
ments III which there were eonpanies
composed of negroes with negro of.

While admitting that such a eondi-
ton might arise, the officers of the
regular army do moi think il should
cause any embarrassment, as it ought

BUDS AND FLOWERS OF
HOME LIFE.
Paine's Celery Compound Makes and Keeps
the Children Well and Strong.
Mothers Make 1t the Home Medicine
For the Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without their
prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, If we expect
them to ripen into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of i'll health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and witch
ings of limbs and muscles. They complain OF
headache, drowsiness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and indigestion. All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds of disease will have
a fast and finn hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore a perfect ndiuo OF
health.
Thousands OF wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vigor-
Gus by giving them natures medicine, Paine's
Celery Compound. In many severe and COM
plicated cases, Paine's Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.
If your dear ones are not as hearty, strong,
and rugged as the, should be, try the health
giving virtues of Paine's Celery Compound.

CORONADO BEACH
The Tent City Attracting Tourists
 From Everywhere.

Coronado. Calif., June 7.-(Special correspondence of The Republican.)- Preparations for the best season the Tent City has ever had have been ac- lively going on for several weeks, with the result that facilities for caring for fully 5000 people are complete, and every day brings new tourists, coming as they oo from Chicago, Ohio, Indi- ana, Philadelphia. Denver, Detroit, Salt Lake, Kansas. Missouri. New York, Nebraska, Iowa and California.
 The attendance last year convinced the management that the facilities at that time would be totally inadequate this year, but 1t is now thought that the present arrangements will be ample. The formal opening will occur June l5, and at that time the crowd will begin to swell perceptibly.
 The first of a series of dances to be given on Saturday evening of each week was given last evening on the ting casino and was largely attend ed. Christian Endeavorers to the num- Der of 1,200 came over from San Diego yesterday and were given a most cor dial welcome. Flowers from the ex- tensive botanical gardens here were presented to the company in great va riety and profusion, and a sumptuous luncheon was not the least enjoyable part of the days festivities.
 Every Sunday afternoon a concert is given by the home band, now famous for its superb playing. and today it was listened to by about 5000 people. The weather is simply delightful, the breezes from the ocean modifying the temperature during the enkire day, while the nights are proverbially cool.
 Every detail relative to the comfort and convenience of patrons receives thoughtful and intelligent attention. The new ferry boat being built express ly for plying between Coronado and San Diego is nearing completion and is expected here about June 25. This will greatly facilitate the carrying Of passengers, as it is much larger in every way than the one now in use.
 Tent City now begins to present an animated appearance and the national emblem floats through the main street its entire length.

 Recent legislation limits the hours of labor underground to eight hours. or 20 per cent less than the standard day on which wages have been here tofOre based.
 The Detroit Copper Mining com pany of Arizona will however, reduce the pay of it's miners and underground hands 10 per cent, instead of 20 per cent. thus sharing the difference with them.
 "The very low grade of the ores of the district and the high cost of treat ment and transportation, force upon the company a policy of closest econ~ Omy, while the dryness and excellent ventilation of the mines make work iD them more healthy and less arduous than in any other large mines of the territory.

The shafts will be closed by bulkheads and as the mine is a dry one no damage will be done. Today is the Yellow Aster pay day and many of the un- married men will probably leave here at once. The business men are feeling very blue over the prospect. Coming on top of the recent great fire this strike is most disastrous to the camp. The miners are asking for $3.50 per day in place of $3. and the muckers want 8 a day in place of S2.50.

THE CLOUDBURsT.

Lordsburg, N. M., June 10.-(Special) There was a cloudburst yesterday at Clifton that resulted in great destruc- ton of property and it is reported nine lives were lost. The railroad was not materially affected, however.
 The cloudburst was in Chase creek canyon above the town and the rushing waters carried away several houses Details in full have not been received here and it is possible some of the missing may be accounted for in later reports. But the fact that the town is built in the canyon makes every flood a costly one, and a sudden rush of water must certainly have wrought great havoc.

THE GODDARD nURDERERs.
Trial of the Mexican Suspects Bega T
 Yesterday.

The trial of the Mexican murderers of Charles E. Goddard and Frank Cooke at Goddard Station last Febru- ary was begun at Prescott yesterday morning. The most of the day was spent in the getting of jury so that the taking of the evidence will be in progress today. Some witnesses iron. Phoenix went to Prescott on this morn ings train. It is not thought that the trial will occupy a great deal of time. The principal witness. of course, will be the Mexican sheepherder who was at the station at the time of the mur- der and had been talking with the murderers all afternoon. The terri tory will have to depend mainly on him for the identification of the prisoners but he is positive that they are the men who committed the slaughter. There will be some other evidence in the way of identification which will be furnished by people living in that region and who believe that they saw the suspects about the time of the murder.
 Neither Mrs. Goddard nor the brother of Goddard or any of the survivors of the massacre are sure of the identity of the two men on trial. They had taken no notice of the appearance of the men until the shooting began and the lights were extinguished almost immediately.
 They were not able to furnish ever a slight description of the murderers and when Mrs. Goddard was con. fronted by the men who were arrested at Naco she was unwilling to say that they were the men.
