The Colum bla correspondent of
The News and Courier makes two
very interesting statements in
Mondays paper. He states that
want advertisement appeared a
day or two ago for n competent
bookkeeper, but it was disllr,tly
stated that cigarette fiend or cne
who INDUCED il intoxicants was
not wanted. Again, that Covers
nor Hayward was asked to recon-
mend an expert accountant not
long since, and the main require
ment was that he was not ono ad-
dicted To drink.
We wish TO emphasize these
things. The time is coming when
no responsible persons will give
employment to persons who are
drinkers. The sober young man
il to be more truly than ever the
man who IS wanted to fill any
position carrying with it any de,
gree of responsibility. The action
of the Governor Of Indiana not
long since in refusing to appoint
men who drank to any positions
within his gift was commendabe.
These facts ought to he pondered
by all right-thinking people.

Great Fortunes for Gems.

According to the compilation of the government officials diamonds and other precious stones of value eX- ceedihg S3O, 100000 were brought into the United States last year. This is taken as az indication of the industrial prosperity Of our country. The best indication of the popularity of the ia t1ous Hostettef's Stomach Bittefs is the fact that more people are taking it today thEn ever before. It's great curative properties are being recog- aized more and more every day by people who have been persuaded to try it, and as result thousands have been restored to perfect health, many of them willingly testifying to the fact. If you suffer from insomnia, poor appe- tite, indijestion, dyspepsia, liver or kidney ills, or malaria, fever and ague, the Bitters will surely cure you. Try it and see for yourself.

AMERICAN CANDIDATES.

The territory is now being billed with advertising matter, and reports Of good attehdahce from the outside are arritins daily. The programme will be published in full next week.
 There is every prospect of an intefi esting h6se-race on Saturday, the 16th inst. The same three teams which con- tested on the Fourth of July-No. l, No: 2, and the Round House team will probably contest again. The Gen. tente cordiale" has been re-established the bloody thasm created on the Fourth has been bridged, as Captains Buck, Archibald and Martin have been discovered discussing written rules, which will probably be adopted for race day, and thus obviate all possi- bility of 8 jangle during the contest.
 Al of the teams will be strengthened, and better time and closer contest may be anticipated.
 A substantial purse will be raised, which Alexander x Co.,. and E. r. San gufnetti have each started with con- tribution of $50.

Col. Balance Meets wieh Accident.

Beach to water his horses, when one of the animals sud- denly started to run, throwing Mr. Balance to the ground, and dragging him some distance. When picked up he was unconscious, and remained so for most of the night.

Southern Pacific Engineers report, from the Salbon Sink district, that an average fall of one inch per day in the pond is being maintained. With the great daily evaporation over the shal- lows the area will diminish rapidly for some time to come.
 The California Development Com pany have now, aided materially by the marked fall in the river, good con- trol of the situation and it is safe pre- diction that well within a year the mirage will again hold sway over the Salton Sink, -supplanting the present wide expense of real water.

Bonded for $50, GOO.

The M. and M. group of mines, To- eated in the King of Arizona district, and owned by Althee Modesti and Paul Moretti of Yuma, have been bonded to the Benedictine Mining and Milling Company of Washington, D. C., in the amount of $50, GOO.
 This property was brought con spicrously into public notice some months ago by the finding Of some large and very rich gold nuggets on Q bench of placer ground, forming part of the claim. The nuggets were al- most pure gold, the largest ore found having a value of $o9.
 For long time the owners permitted Mexicans to work their placer ground, on the shares, but the owners share was generally mighty srhall- ss the matter of division was given small att tention. The finding of the valuable nuggets, however, resulted in more careful watch oH the part of the own CTS, who soon discovered that the pl&1cer workers had been enjoying a very gosd thing, and numerous, other nuggets shat were disposed of on the quiet, gave to the property a value ehat had not been dreamed of before.
 The Washington company will pro- ceed at once to a thorough develop ment of the property, which promises to become famous as producer.

A PATHETIC STORY.

A PATHETIC STORY.
 Details of the terrible tragedy are set forth in private letter from q citi- zen of Gila Bend to friend in Yuma, received today. They tell story so sad and pathetic-so full of love, deyo- tion, and sacrifice as to arouse the deep. est emotions and sympathy of the hu- man heart. 4 portion of the letter is herewith printed:
 Gila Bend, Sept. 6.
 Dear Friend:-A bout 6:30 or O clock on the evening of the 4th heard some one scream, but paid no attention to it. I locked out the front door and saw dim light, but thought it was head light: l was waiting on ssme Indian customers at the time. When they wetst out they said there was fire. i SO went cdt and saw that it was Mr. WiHtermcte's hoase.
 Shortly after that heard a noise at the doctors. went oyer there and leathed that Mrs. WinteFmute was badly burned and also the baby. Ur. Rowe said she might live two hours; she died at II the same eTeuing. I understand she said that she was ready for bed and blew out the light; but she blew the flame down and ignited the gas iu the bowl of the lamp. 1 suppose when the lamp exploded the burning oil was thrown all oyer her. Her cloth~ ing was nearly all burned off Of her. She tried to get out bus the flames pres vented her escape. She perhaps tried to put,the fire out and became exhaust, ed. When assistance reached her she was too exhausted to help herself, and had her face and head wrapped in a blanket; she inhaled the flames is what caused her death so soon; she was badly burned inwardly. Her little boy, Glen, had gotten the hose and was pouring water on her as the flames were leaping over her. The little fellow was crying and staying with it.; the fire burned his forehead to blister. | Wintermute was at the store but like lot of us did not know anything about it until too late. Gotta, Chapo and Regino, were there in time to have saved them but the bull dog would not let them in the yard.
 One of the train crew threw the dog over the fence. I assisted in taking Mrs. w. from the Doctors over to Brinley's. I did not think then that she would last long, as she wanted Winter mute by her all the time. and wanted him to kiss her every few minutes. The poor woman was devoted to him to the last.
 I heard that she said she wanted to die, as she always wanted to look pretty so Dean would love her, but now she could not. The baby died yester- day in the afternoon, and the Doctor says it was not the burns that killed i5 but indigestion.
