General waiting for Sir Harry Vane
and the members who had promised
to come and continue the conference
relating to the bill early in the day.
The General was occupying himself

Truly these men are long in coming;
are you ready, General? and before

Army Officers Decline to Go on Re-
tired List.

Three officers of the army recently
have declined to go ON the retired
list with increased rank. They are
Brigadier General John f. Weston,
commissary general; Brigadier Gen.
eral A. w. Greeley, chief signal Of
ficer and Brigadier General G.. NJ.
Randall, commanding the department
OF Luzon. Each of these officers was
rendered major generally on condi-

in each case the offer was declined,
on the ground that the officer pre-
ferred active duty to promotion under
such conditions.

The next day Cymlin went to Jew

only two or three servants there. and
they had no idea when the family
would return.

He then entered a lofty, royalty

were waiting his arrival-ohicers of
the army, and members of Parlia-

Cromwell opened the discussion by
reminding the members that he had
already held more than a dozen meet

issue an Act for the election of a new
Parliament, and then discharge itself

POSED AS A MAN
FOR TWENTY-FIVE YEARS,
Woman Employed as Cowboy In
Oregon Whose Secret is DiscoV-
cred at Her Death.


cred at Her Death.
A remarkable case Of a woman mas
querading as a man has just come to
light near Rockville, in tho western
part of Idaho, near the Oregon line. A
few days ago Joe Monaghan, a well
known cowboy, died suddenly at the
residence of Barney Malloy, on Sue
cor creek, in Oregon. When the body
was being prepared for burial 1t was
found that the deceased was woman.
She had ridden the ranges of eastern
Oregon for twenty-five years, and was
widely known as an expert, faithful,
untirng cowboy. She worked for the
cattlemen during the summer and
winter and looked after stock of her
own, of which she possessed quite a
herd. The woman was small OF stat
are, but very active and strong. She
was an expert shot with a revolver
and rife. Her home was in dug
out near Rockville. She was well
liked by all who knew her well. but
she avoided people excepting as she
came in contact with them in her
work. Deceased was about "a years
of age. Nothing is known of her an
tecedents. She served on juries in
Oregon and voted at elections.

tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being
given to the subject. 1t is easier and
better to prevent than to cure. 1t has
been fully demonstrated that pneu-
monia, one of the most dangerous dis
eases that medical men have to con-
tend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain's cough remedy.
Pneumonia always results from q
cold or from an attack of influenza
(grip), and it has been observed that
this remedy cOunteracts any tendency
of these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which this rem
edy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from a slight cold when no
danger is apprehended until it is sud-
denly discovered that there is fever
and difficulty in breathing and pains
in the chest, then it is announced that
the patient has pneumonia. Be on
the safe side and take Chamberlains
Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is
contracted. 1t always cures. For

Saturday afternoon last, my wife
took down with grip, very high fever

She suffered severe pains in her back

feeling in them. SO We went down and
got DR.. +. r. Wilson to come up quick
to see her. He called right away and
inside of fifteen minutes she was rest

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

For the week ending August %, 1904.
 Moderately warm and somewhat cloudy weather prevailed during the past week. Showers occurred at one time or another throughout the terri tory, and in the northern portion showers occurred almost every day. Some of these were very heavy and caused streams to overflow their banks and injure growing crops to some eX- tent. Hail occurred in the northern portion of the territory and caused some damame. Water for irrigation purposes is plentiful, but it is so muddy that it fills up the canals rapidly, thus reducing their carrying capacity. The Copious rains have however, supplied any deficiency due to this cause. The soil is generally in excellent condt- tiOn for tillage, though in some locali-
 ties t is too wet. All vegetation has made rapid growth during the week. Late grain in the northern districts is backward on account of continued cloudy and wet weather, but some of it is ripening and some is ready to be cut. Late corn and sorghum are growing finely throughout the terri tory, and a large yield of forage is promised. Some corn was planted during the week in the lower Colorado valley. Alfalfa is growing rapidly, but in Maricopa county it is rather weedy. In the lower Colorado valley, the fifth crop is not doing so well as the earlier crops. The third crop is com
 ing on in northern districts and prom ises to be better than the earlier CTOnE- Gardens garden truck is generally plentiful. The ranges have continued to improve during the week, and in many locali- ties are in the best condition for years at this season. The prospects are now
