Bandits Killed in Duel.

Naco, Ariz, March 21.-Pe1ro
Avon and Jose Martinez, Mexican
highwsymen, entered the racketstore
at Csnanesu last night and ordered
the proprietor and his clerks to hold
up their hands. A citizen on the
outside happend to hear the CON-
mand of the desperadoes and quickly
informed the officers.
Four OF these entered by the front
door, lsveled their guns at the heads
OF the robbers and ordered them to
surrender themselves. Their CON-
mand was disregarded. Martinez
and his companion started for the
back door, where they had tied horses
to be used in making their escape.
The officers, seeing they we're about
to lose their men, opened fire. Avon
and Martinez dropped behind some
barrels in the back OF the store and
returned the iusillade from their re-
peating rifles.
The officers were as determined and
desperate as the bandits, and when
the smoke cleared away it was iosnd
that AVON had been shot dead and
Martinez MORALLY wounded. Mar.
tinez diei few hours later.

TO BE CONGRATULATED.

Thegood Democrats ofBates eoun.
ty are to be congratulated on the
conservative course they are pursu-
ing as between contesting aspirants
for the gubernatorlal nomination.
While Democrats in some othereoun-
ties are engaged in heated contests,
which have in many Instances devel-
oped into fsctional fights, into which
much bitterness has been injected,
this county's splendid Democracy
has refused to become excited or en-.
ser into an internecine strife which
could have but one possible result,
the weakening of the party. Every
Democrat has his own individual
choice as between candidates., but the
vast ma ority hold party good above
personal preference and do not ap.
prove Of the campaign of vitupera.
ton being engaged in between the
candidates and some OF their person
al friends.
The wisdom OF the course OF our
people is made manifest in view Of
the disgrsceful scenes enacted in the
primaries in St. Louis county and
city and Kansas City, where frauds
and intimidations OF individual vot.
ers are charged, resulting in contest.
Ing delegations, the party divided
into factions, friends and neighbors
arrayed against each other in deadly
ieuds which will take years to heal
over. In Kansas City this resulted
in two conventions and two city
tickets, Democratic success In that
city being thereby greatly endan'
gered.
Our central committee very wisely
provided for convention to select
state delegates after the county
ticket had been selected, butin plenty
OF time, being more than a month
before the state convention. The
candidates for governor and all 9TH
or state offices are invited to come
into Bates county, get acquainted
with our people and discuss party
issues and public questions, but we
-wafH- the candidate eF-his- friends
who attempt to arouse the passions
OF our people by personal abuse of
another candidate, that he will not
profit thereby. We hold that he is
not good Democrat who willendan.
ger the success of his party for his
own advantage and the good Demo.
Gratis OF Bates county, we are salts

WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump.
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

The Central Committee is the foun.
dalton Of the party organization,
therefore not only the very best men
should be selected as committeeman,
but those who are willing to take an
active interest, attend committee
meetings and assist in the party or.
ganization. A township that has a
poor orindifferent committeeman will
not bs properly represented in the
party organization. We want to
urge upon the township conventions
not to neglect this very important
matter.
