Two men passed an old state bank bill on one of the Chinese restaurants a few days ago, but were overhauled by the Mongolians and turned over to the officers. The bill had been split and another split bill pasted on to the back making it heavy and clumsy. The men will probably have a chance to explain the occurrence to Uncle Sam.

Horrible Killing.

Over in the Union Pass country last Saturday night was enacted one of the most horrible tragedies in the history of this county. Arising from dispute over mining property, TLomas w. Smith, on the one side, and Henry Lang and William Welbourn, engaged in life and death struggle and which ended only when the com batants be. came too exhausted to continue the struggle, and which resulted in the death of Welbourn early the following morning. The fight must have been terrific and practically one sided, as a postmortem on the remains of Vel bourn disclos ed six fractured ribs, one of which punctured the lung, and the body, head and face pounded into an almost unrecognizable mass. Lang was also terribly beaten about the head and face, while Smith shows few marks of the encounter. A witness to the whole affair was J. T. Wright, known all over tbe Territory as "Whistling Dick" Wright came 10 Kingman Sun- day and Smith came with him and sur rendered himself to the sheriff. A COT oner's jury, accompanied by Coroner Ceilings, District Attorney Dickson and undersherif Brown went to the scene of the killing Sunday evening and made an examination of the scene of the tragedy and took the testimony of the watchman at the Union Pass mines, who visited Smiths camp the night of the fight. A four pound ham mer that had been gripped by bloody hand was found near the scene of the fight. The body of Welbourn was taken to Kingman and buried. In his testi mony before the Coroner Wright's tes timony was favorable to Smith. He swore that the three men had been drinking and that quarrel arose be- tween them over the interest H. J West was to have in the mines in which they had discovered rich ore; that the two men repeatedly assaulted Smith, but that the latter always had the best of he encounters. Lang contradicts 'his and states that he was in the cab, n when Il glt sta t'd and on going out to separate the men he was struck on the head by Smith and remem bered no more until he came to out on the hillside, chilled through. He went to the cabin and laid down on bunk Smith came to cabin and kicked him telling him to get up and get out which he did, Smith beating him on the head and shoulders until some distance from the house. The watchman testi fled that Smith came to his camp and asked for gun, explaining that he had broken his on a man. No gun was ir camp and Smith offered five dollars as an inducement to go to Kimerly's anc borrow one. He returned to camp witl Smith and saw Welbourn lying some distance from the house. Smith kicked the man and told him to get up but h. appeared unable, and told Smitl so. Smith insisted on his getting ul and going away, at the same time kick ing him. The man said, Have som
 mercy on me; don't be brute." Tn jury found that Welbourn came to hi death at the hands of Thomas W Smith.
 At the preliminary examination
 which was concluded yesterday morr
 ing, Smith was held for the crime c
 manslaughter, with bonds placed a

INDIAN MEDICINE" FIRES.
The Creeks Brought the Sacred Flame
 from Alabama.

With the beginning of the new year the se- cret visit of the chief medicine man of the Creeks will be made to see that the tribal fires in the Indian towns are kept burning accord to the Kansas City Star. From time as old as Creek history, 1t has been a custom among full blood Creeks to keep a medicine fire burn ing constantly in each Indian town When the Creek migrated from Alabama to In- dian Territory in 1888, this sacred fire was kept alive constantly. On the long march from Alabama. day and night. this fire was kept then for both practical and belief that if 1t once went out dire misfortune would befal the tribe.
 Territory was Alabama, named for the old home. In Alabama the tribal fire was built and the permanent home of the Creek estab- lished Since that time there have been es- tablished forty-four Indian towns that still exist From this central fire embers were taken to start town fire in each town as 1t was established. As soon a new town was established an official fire keeper was chosen whose duty 1t was to that the fire was kept constantly m his house. This was a great honor for an Indian, and if he was un- faithful the punishent bsnishment rom the tribe. In winter and the hottest days Of sum mer, the fire kept alive. Once year there was a secret visit of certain medicine men to these towns to investigate the fAth fulness of the fire keeper. An unfavoraoe report meant banishment of the keeper ana the hatred of every member of the tribe
 In the full blood districts the Indian town fires are maintained to this day An ih- dian town is not town in the American sehsc. but may be merely grove "heIe t -. meet upon the call of the leaders 10 discuss matters of interest and vote thes ,,,,ciIs of any other than his rightful town or ols- trict There is a town chief for each town whose influence is great among his ulDesHei''

No More Combinations.

Wall Street Journal.
 The relations of the people and the rail roads have yet to be settled on permanent basis, that the great service of transports tion shall be satisfactorily performed and yield a fair return to railroad owners At the pres ent time railroad managers are without the necessary machinery for making rates uniform and stable. The public mind has wrong idea of the virtue of railroad competition in this matter and 1t must be educated to a cor rect view. This will take time, and 1t may be that portion of storm and stress will have to be gone through by the railroads before sat- isfactory solution of the problem is found by the public Meanwhile, we are happily as- sured against any further great movement in the direction of combination of competing roads, with all the speculative dangers that such a process implies.

THEY ACTUALLY DO TAE WORK.
Foo, Eaten is Worthless Unless Di- gested-Some Stomachs Must
 Have Help.

Food taken into the Stomach which, from the nature of the food or the con- dition of the stomach, Is not digested, Is worse than no food at all. This is a true statement as far as 1t goes and a great maRy dyspeptics go only this far with their reasoning. They argue with themselves that because their stomachs do not dO the work given them, they must be given less work: in other words they must be starved. It would be just as sen sible for business man who is unable to do all his own work to cut down his business to his own capacity as 1t Is for a man to starve himself to relieve his stomach. The sensible business man employs help and goes forward with his business Likewise the sensible dyspep- tic will employ help for his stomach and give his body proper nourishment.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually do the work assigned to them. They relieve weak and overburdened stomachs of a great portion of digestive action. Their component parts are identical with those of the digestive fluids and secretions of the stomach and they simply take up the grind and carry on the work just the same as a good, strong. healthy stom- ach would do it.
 On this account Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are perfectly natural in their dCtloH anu FHeCtS. Iney uO not cause any unnatural or violent disturbance in the stomach or bowels They themselves digest the food and supply the system with all the nourishment contained in what is eaten and carry out Natures plans for the sustenance and manten- ance of the body.
 How much more sensible Is this meth cd than that employed by many suffer- CTS from weak stomachs. By this means the body and brain get all the good, nu- trittous food they need and the man is properly no3rshed and equipped to car ry on his work and perform his duties He could not possibly be in proper work ing condition by starving himself or em- ploying some new fangled. insufficient food that does not contain enough nutri- ment for a year old baby. A strong man doing strong work must be properly fed and this applies to the brain as well as the body
 StuartS Dyspepsia Tablets, by relieving the stomach of it's work, enable 1t to re- cuperate and regain its normal health and strength, Nature repairs the worn and wasted tissues just as she heals and knlts the hone of a broken limb, which is of cours" not used during the process of repair
 stuart S Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by all druggists at 50 cents a box and they are the one article that the drug glst does not try to sell something in the place of that's just as good" Their unquallhed merit and success and the universal demand for them has placed them Within the reach of every one.

PURIFY THE BLOOD. You Can't Purify the Blood Thor Oughly Unless You Stimulate
 the Kidneys.
They are tl,c Real Blood cleansers.

It is popular notion that "sarsapa- rillas" and similar compounds purify the blood. Medical men know that this is a false idea because they know that the blood is purified to large extent by the kidneys. If these are ailing, no amount of so-called "blood purifier" can be of the least help in cleansing it.. For impure blood lool; to the kidneys, they are weak, they need help to prop eriy perform the duty of extracting inn purities from the circulation. The kid ney tonic properties of Prick1y Ash Bitters are especially appropriate for purifying the blood. It not only spurs the kidneys to greater activity, giving them strength and vigor, but drives the extracted matter out of the body through the bladder and bowels. It is in short 6 thorough system cleanser and blood purifier; it imparts new life to the kid neys, stimulates the torpid liver, removes constipation and permanently cures a constipated habit.

George Ade,s Uphill Journey.

When George Ade, author of Breaking Into Society, was a youngster, beginning to make his own way in the world, he had the usual uphill journey towards success. He first plodded along on a meagre salary as reporter on a small evening paper; then he sold a tobacco-ha- bit cure for a patent-medicine house, and later undertook the monotonous task of preparing a city directory. It was not until his Fables began to attract popu- lar notice that his first fame was achiev- ed, and after fame came the successive steps of financial success eliminating in the large rewards from his comic opera librettos.
