RAILROAD MATTERS.

In order to further the plan to de
 velop and colonize the southwest, tn, officials of the Frisco system hay, formed an organization of its lanC
 and immigration agents which will bt
 known as the Frisco System and I'm
 migration association. Mir. S. A.
 Hughes, general immigration agent of
 the Frisco system, is president, and
 MT. Robert s. Lemon of St. Louis, secretary of the association. The
 headquarters are located in the Full
 lerton building, St. Louis.
 In accordance with an order issued
 by the Pullman company the lines be- tween Chicago and St. Louis have discontinued the use of compartment cars. It has been found that the compartment cars do not pay. There are only 10 and, in many cases, eight compartments, and when the lower berth in one is occupied nobody will take the upper. The revenue is always small, at pest, and the cars weigh a third again as much as a standard sleeper and cost a great deal more to maintain.
 The scarcity of cars with which to handle California and coast freight in general has caused President E. P. Ripley of the Santa Fe to order the immediate construction of 200 freight cars. Mir. Hartman, for the Union Pacific has ordered 400 freight cars. While Mir. Hartman continues to lay rot of new heavy rails on the main lines of the Southern Pacific, it is the intention of Mir. Ripley this year to have put down $50 miles of eighty five pound rail on the Santa Fe main lines in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
 What is regarded as one of the most remarkable feats in the history of American railroading was accom- plished Tuesday by the New York Central lines, when they moved 52, 98l freight cars The officials of the road say this breaks all previous records when it is considered that during the day every important pas senger train on the system was run on time. The work was done in the midst of the severe storm which prevailed the first of the week. The cars moved would make, if placed end to end, train 184 miles long.
 A large amount of American capital has been invested in the railroads of Mexico within the past two years, the Mexican National railroad having passed from British to American con trol and the Mexican Central, always American, having acquired some short lines which were not owned by Ameri- can capital. Since the construction of the Mexican Central by Americans. some twenty years ago. United States capital has always been the strongest factor in Mexican railroads and at present it constitutes about 80 per cent of the total capital invested in railroads in that country. In this, more than anything else, American capital has contributed to the devel- opment of Mexico. It can be truth fully said that Meixco owes most of her recent material progress to the building of railroads through her ter ritory. American capital has followed the steel rail, and so has other for eign capital and native capital as we'll. Nothing makes for the develop ment of country so much as rail roads. Mexico and the United States are bound together figuratively and literally by bands of steel.

SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT.
Basket Social at Walnut Grove Nets
 Over Hundred Dollars.

J. N. Piper is engaged in teaching the school at Walnut Grove and Mrs. Piper is teaching the one at Craig, both in the Walnut Grove section of country. On Saturday night the two districts united in a basket social for the benefit of the cemetery in Walnut Grove, the proceeds to be used in 1 fencing it.
 The affair was interspersed with a musical and literary programme, which was quite interesting. Of course every one knows what basket social means. A young lady puts up a lunch for two in basket and then the bas- ket is put up at auction and sold to the highest bidder the purchaser hay ing the privilege of sharing the lunch with the fair one who prepared it and of partaking of it with her. Of course, no one is supposed to know the owner of any of the baskets, so that each one is taking chances in buying 1t, or getting the lady of his choice, as his partner for refresh ments.
 At the Saturday night social it be- came noised around that certain bas- kets belonged to certain popular young ladies, and the bidding for them was quite spirited and some of the prices paid for lunches would throw Waldorf Astoria meal in the shade, two or three of the baskets being run up close to s10 each. The evenings entertain ment netted SHOOTS, showing that the Walnut Grove boys are nervy, and liberal in the way of contributing for public improvements.

Thirty-Nmth Year.

an average of little over eight per
 day during the entire session includ-
 ing Sundays. As about half the time
 of the session has been devoted to re-
 cesses during which members were ab-
 sent, in order to exhaust this appro-
 priation it has probably been neces-
 sary for members to work double
 shifts writing letters during the time
 they were not absent from the capital
 which may account for the paucity of
 legislation.
 At the opening session of the week,
 on Monday, the same apathy was ap-
 parent, that has characterized the two
 bodies during the first half of the ses- sion. In the council Kibbey's bill extending the power of mayors and common councils of incorporated cities and towns was passed. The bill of Morehead for the compensation of sanitary officers was defeated.
 Two new bills were also introduced. One was by Corbett providing for the appointment by the district attorney of any county in the territory, with the consent of the board of supervis- ors, of a county detective having all the powers of general police officer. He shall have authority to arrest per sons without warrant His salary shall not exceed $500 year. The other bill was by Kibbey amending the divorce laws. It changes the period of abandonment before a suit for divorce may be bruoght from two years to one. 1t also makes other than physical cruelty a cause for di- vorce.
 A memorial against ceding a strip from northern Arizona to Utah was adopted in the house.
 Bernard's stock bill and the bill amending the law so as to make the office of county assessor elective in first second third class counties were passed.
 A bill providing for the reduction of salaries of county treasurers and district attorneys in fourth, fifth and sixth class counties to 5000 per year and making county recorders of such counties ex-officio clerk of the board of supervisors at the same salary, was indefinitely postponed by a vote of IS to 6.
 lngalIs' bill providing that in coun- ties of the first class having an as- sessed valuation of 8, 800, 900, district attorneys with the consent of the su- pervisors may employ an assistant at a salary of s1200, was unfavorably re- ported. On the motion of it's author the measure was indefinitely post poned.
 Collins fish and game bill was passed. It gives the fish and game authority to post no- tices on private property at the re- Iuc | of the owner forbidding persons iron entering for the purpose of hunt ing or fishing. A violation of the mo- lice i disdemeanor punishable by fine to be turned into a fund for car rying out the purposes of the com The owner of the property himself may post the notice which shall have the same effect as if posted by the commissioners, and he is au- hOrized to make arrests for. its viola ion.

RAT AS A BURGLAR
A Wharf Rodent Which Steals Pa per Money From Some Un-
 known Place.
Nine Dollars m Currency Found m an Old Drawer al a leVee
 Saloon.

A rat in the saloon of Mcbride Kenna, at the Levee and Locus street, has made some easy money fo the place.
 In two days it has produced s9 il two installments, and if it continues at the same rate as a money maker will soon rival the best ''get-rich fquick'' scheme ever invented. Int matter has become the subject of DO lice invest igation.
 James McVey, having occasion to go to drawer in an unfrequented part of the saloon Sunday morning was startled by a rat that jumped out when he opened it. After satisfying himself that the rat was real and not an optical illusion, he examined the drawer and found three one dollar bills.
 The drawer had been used as re- pository for odds and ends and not as cash till, so McVey's vision was not generally believed until an investiga- tion had been made. After an exam nation of the drawer, it was discov- cred that the rat had made its home there and was carrying money from some unknown quarter to its lair.
 An inventory of the cash on hand in the establishment was made The cash register had not been tempered with, and the combination lock on the safe was still intact. The conclu- sion was then reached that the rat purloined the money from some other till.
 Yesterday morning another examin- ation was made of the drawer. and it was found that MT. Rat had been at work again. Not only was there money in the drawer. but the rodent had raised the first deposit and had managed to come home with one 8 bill and one sl bill.
 The productiveness of the drawer alarmed the proprietors of the saloon and yesterday the matter was reported to the police. The s9 is held for re- demption by any one who can "prove property"
 Where the rat obtained the money is not known, although it is suggested that, being a river rat, it might have to find the buried treasure of some Mississippi river pirate. St. Louis Gloe- Democrat.

IRRIGATION ENTERPRISE.

J. J. Fisher, who returned a few days ago from an important surveying trip, near Needles. California, in speaking of the enterprise with which he was connected, said he believed it would prove bonanza to those inter ested. The proposition is to irrigate a tract of land embracing between 30, 900 and 1000 acres lying just south of Fort Mohave, by means of ditches. fumes, etc, the water to be taken from the Colorado river. The people who are back of the enterprise are wealthy Michigan people who have plenty of means, and if the survey just completed develops the fact that the water can be placed on the ground, work will be commenced at once. Mir. Fisher says the soil is as fine as ever lay out of doors and every inch of it will be worth Sl00 per acre if it can be irrigated, and he believes it can. This will furnish homes for quite number of families and it is to be hoped it will prove success.

A BRAKEMAN SHOT
He Attempts to Put a Mexican Hobo Off the Train ard
 Gets Shot.
0nlya Flesh Wound in the krm-Shoot- CT Arrested and in Jail at
 Congress.

When this mornings north bound passenger train started to pull out after taking water at the Agua Fria tank, about twenty miles this side of Phenix, Brakeman Pete Clark discov- cred Mexican on the platform be- tween the smoking car and the day coach, attempting to beat his way over the road, and asked him to get off. He made no reply nor offer to obey and the brakeman started to put hIm off. As the Mexican landed on the ground he turned suddenly and pulled a 45-six shooter from his pocket and fired at Clark but missed him, the ball striking the front of the day coach. Clark drew his pistol and fired at the Mexican also missing his mark.
 At the sound of the first shot a deputy constable under Pete Boscha, of Congress, who was in the smoker, rushed out and told both men that they were under arrest. By this time all three men were on the ground be- side the car. The constable took Clark's gun from him but the Mexi- can still kep; his, and after Clark's gun had been taken the hobo deliber- ately fired a second shot at Clark, the ball passing through his arm and em- bedding itself deep into the side of the car. The would-be murderer was then overpowered, disarmed and taken charge of by the constable while Clark's arm was bandaged and he was Fut to bed in the Pullman and brought on 10 Wickenburg where be was taken off and h is wound attended to.
 The prisoner was taken of at Con- gress Junction and from there to Con- gress where be will have his prelim- mary hearing
 The shooting was the work of viii famous coward with murder in his heart and he should be taught les son and at the same time be put where he will have no opportunity to exer- else his murderous proclivities
 Clark's wound being only a flesh wound is not considered very serious, but his escape from death was by terrible close margin.

NATURES OWN CURE.
Hyomei Cures Catarrh Without DAN
gerous Dragging Of the Stomach.

Not until Hyomei was discovered has
it been possible to truthfully say that a
remedy for catarrh was known.
This remedy is breathed through the
Hyomei inhaler for a few minutes four
times a day, and during that time every
particle of air taken into the air pass
ages and lungs is impregnated with the
germ killing and health giving Hyomei.
1t is the only treatment that cures ca
tarrh.
Stomach drugging often causes disor-
dered digestion or brings on some other
diseases. and never makes a permanent
cure of catarrh. Hyomei not only kills
the germs in the throat and nose, but
penetrates to the minutest air cells in
the lungs and enters the blood with the
oxygen, killing the germs in the blood.
1t frees the mucous membrane from
poisonous microbes and gives perfect
health.
A complete outfit costs but $1.00 and
includes an inhaler, dropper and suffi-
cient Hyomei for more than a months
trea tment.
Percy w. Means and Bowditch &
Webster have so much faith in the
merit of Hyomei that they agree to re-
turn the money to any purchaser who
may be dissatisfied.
