''Let those now smoke who never
 smoked before,
 And those who have always smoked
 now let them smoke the more."
 The above are the words of the great poet pronounced by him few days ago after having inspected and sampled Tonini's magnificent assortment of cigars comprising the most famous and popular brands of imported and domes- tic cigars such as the "Optimo, " the ''El Principe de Gales" the 'El Pa lencia," the "Alexander umboldt, l" the ''Ia Sirena," the "Amanita," the 'sGilman House." and the best brands of Mexican cigars such as 'La Interna- cional," Las Dos Naciones," "El Sol dado," etc. In the cent article To mini excells as much as he does in the higher price grades as we'll as in the best:brands of tobacco, of which arti- cle he makes speciality. 2-3-tf

Our Climate.

The climate of the Gila and Colorado vallies is the most delightful of the en- tire southwest. For about two months it is hot, but the air is so very dry that it is not oppressive, and at no time will one suffer as in Chicago or St. Louis during the hot months. There is no such thing as malaria here and sum- stroke is unheard of. During nine months of the year every day is like the middle of May in the east, the ther- mometer not varying over ten degrees. At midnight the winds come up from the Gulf of California, and laden with fragrance of myriades of flowers it murmurs in the leaves of the cotton woods in unison with the music of the acequias beneath.

HELD UP BY NOTORIOUS BANDITS
Thrilling Experience of Yuma Boy
 With AIyOrd and Stiles.

A. W. Morris, formerly of Yuma and now in the employ of mining com pany of Magdalena, Sonora, Mexico, has sent, in private letter to friends in this city, the following account of his encounter with Alvord and Stiles, the notorious bandits:
 On the 9th inst. Mir. Tener, the gen. eral manager of the mine. and myself were bringing in the bullion from the mine-the month s run, between seven and eight thousand dollars in gold. We were driving along without suspicion of any such thing as holdups, when sud- denly>th horses plunged forward and we heard the command, ';hands up." We found ourselves looking into the muzzles of two 30-30s in hands of our friends Alvord and Stiles. said ''all right, boys, guess you've got us" and threw up my hands.
 They came over to the buggy and took our guns away, then ordered Us to drive behind little, hill, out of sight of the road, where their horses were tied. We were then told to get out of the buggy. Stiles went through me, took my purse and bill book with $40 gold and s6O Mexican, my knife and my keys. I told him the keys were no use to him and to give them back, which he did.
 He then went through Mir. Tener, taking all he had except his watch. When he went to take that Mir. Tener said, ''this watch is 8 present from my mother, prize it very highly, and wish you would leave it to me-" Stiles replied, ''all right" Alpord, who was covering Tener with the gun, said to Stiles in Spanish, ''den't let him have it; take the watch" He repeated this three times, Stiles however refused to comply. They then unhitched the carriage horses and told us to hike out for Magdalena-only 9 miles away.
 We hiked, but not to Magdalena. AS soon as we were out of sight we climbed hill to see which way they went, then cut across country to the La Higuence mine, about an hour and half's walk We then walked six miles into Cucurpe where we procured horses and arms, and without further preparation took the trail; and harder and rougher trail I never followed. Across the mountains, where there was absolutely no sign of q trail, they travelled. We could only travel in the day time, as we had to track them
 The second day we found pair of fringed huckskin gloves at their camp fire. The third day, one of the horses, which they had abandoned. For twelve days we were on the trail, at times only two or three hours behind them. Then we lost the trail and had to give up the chase.
 We recovered both our big carriage horses, but so badly used up that, they will never be of any use. returned to Magdalena hy rail and let two men, who were with me, return with the horses.
 Fhe bandits crossed the line into this territory. Last Saturday they were surprised near Naco, and the fight that followed Alvord was wounded and cap tured, Stiles and Mexican with him escaping.

Saybrook Point, Conn. Dec. THE
three-mastered schooner AddHe Jor-
dan, Capt. Lee. bound from Norfolk,
Va, for New London. with a cargo
of lumber, is ashore on sand bar
off this point. Seas were breaking over
her this forenoon. Two tugs sent out
from here were unable, on account of
shoal water, to get near enough to
the schooner to get a tow line aboard
Five members of the crew landed at
Black Hall, three miles from here, but
the captain and cook are still on the
schooner.
Shortly after 3 o'clock this afternoon
signal of distress was observed n.y.
ing from the rigging of the schooner
and with marine glass, Capt. Lee and
the cook could be seen clinging well
out on the bowsprit. waving their hands
for assistance. Capt. Lee is - years
old.
Some of the crew who landed at Black
Hall declared that the vessel was not
seaworthy when she left Norfolk, but
that she would have been all right
probably had not the light on the break
water here been mistaken for the New

All hope of rescuing Capt. Lee and

RECRUITS FLOCKING TO
THE BANNER OF JAPAN.

Toxic, Dec. 1, noon.-Gen. Nogis
telegram, announcing the storming
and capture of 2OS Metre Hill, was re-
ceived with cheers by the Japanese
people. 1t revives the hope of an early
capture of Port Arthur proper.
The people have never despaired of
the success of the besiegers, but the
fortitude of the defenders and the pro-
longation of the siege which exceeds by
months the most liberal preliminary
estimate of the time required to ac-
compllsh the reduction of this strong
hold, has been a source of deep regret,
combined with the loss of life and dis
appointments over the fact that the
siege has occupied such a large force
OF men, decreasing Field Marshal Oya-
ma strength at time when he need
ed every available man.
To-day was the date set under the
conscription act when recruits could
Join the army. Cheered by the news
from Gen. Nogi thousands of recruits
throughout the empire marched to bar
racks and donned uniforms for the first
time. Following an honored custom
relatives of recruits carrying flags and
banners, escorted the new soldiers to
lheir barracks. In Toxic to-day there
nave been scores of little professions
escorting detachments of popular con-
scripts.
The number of men who have Joined
tne colors to-day under the conscrip-
tloh act has not been made public.

RUSSIA NOW FEARS
FOR UNCOVERED FLEET.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 1.-The War
Office here is not yet prepared to ac-
cept the report that the japanese be-
fore Port Arthur have taken 203 Metre
Hill, but if it is officially confirmed
the War Office admits that it will be
a desperate blow for the gallant de-
tenders Of the fortress.
The position commands the harbor,
and if the Japanese can mount siege
guns on its summit, they can force
out the Russian squadron or destroy it
at its anchorage.
Those familiar with the supporting
plans of the forts think it is by no
means certain that, even though the
Russians are forced to retire from 203
Metre Hill, the Japanese can place in
position heavy guns against the fire
which the other forts can bring to
bear on it. Still, the War Office off,
cials reluctantly agree that such a
breach in the chain renders the posi-
t1on extremely critical, and though the
garrison might be able to hold out in
the Golden Hill, Tigers Tail and Lao
Tie forts for some time, it may mark
the beginning of the end.
The War Office is convinced that
with the approach of the Russian Sec
ond pacific squadron the japanese con-
sidered that the elimination of the
Port Arthur squadron as a fighting
factor was absolutely vital, thus ac-
counting for the reckless sacrifice of
life in order to secure a position di-
rectly commanding the harbor.

THE FOOLKILLER

HIS DEATH.

Body of Nfsseh and the Remnants
of Aquatic Balloon Were Found on
the shore of Lake Michigan--IIIs
Card Was Found, and This Bore n

Had Met His Death-Air Hose Haa
Broken.
stevensville, Mich. Dec. 1.-Peter
Nissen, who started across Lake Mich
igan in his boat, called ''Foolkiller No.
3, was found dead on the beach. two
miles and a half west of here to-day.
Nissen is supposed to have been
washed ashore during the night. His
Foolkiller" was about twenty rods
down the beach from the body and
was considerably damaged. A life
preserver and his overcoat were fast
ened to the basket shaped car in the
boat.
The body was brought to Stevens
Vile, where it lies in the town hall.
The hands and face are frozen and
the features reflect his suffering. The
clothing on the body was somewhat
torn.
IL is thought that Nissen could not
have been dead a great while when
the body was found, as rigormortis
had not set in
Nissen's employer, was notified as
soon as word was received here that
the body had been found, and cor
oner's jury was impaneled and began
an inquest. Men have gone from here
to bring in the wrecked .FoolkilIer No

When the wrecked Aquatic Balloon
was examined, one Of Nissen's busi-
ness cards was found, on the back OF
which was a note from the dead adven-
turer saying an air hose, upon which
he depended to renew his supply of air
had broken and that he was doomed to
die Of suffocation.
II Is believed here that Nissen was
alive when his boat first touched the
eastern shore OF the lake.
There was a smile on the face OF the
