Butter. Cheese and Eggs.

The hot wave acted damper on the Butter
market yesterday, and together with the ar
rival OF two beiated boats from the North, pre-
vented the expected advance in creamery extras.
With many retailers curtafling their orders and
lobbers Indifferent about buying, the market was
dull and listlesS throughout the day. but gener-
al feeling of frmness prevailed and higher mar
ket was confidently expected with the teturn Of
cool weather.
Eggs were quiet, the movement In fresh Sc
lected especially being slow for reasons already
mentioned, such as high prices, competition of
Eastern and storage goods, etc. Quotations for
all descriptions were unchanged, however.
Cheese was quite firm. as stocks were light
and several orders for export were being filed
The only transaction on the Exchange was q
sale of 10 boxes Of fresh creamery extra Butter
at 2615c.
Receipts were 1890 lbs Butter, 24oo lbs

"Seotty" Must Stand Trial.

A San Francisco paper says: Walter Scott, better known as "Scotty of Death Valley" ap- peared Wednesday before Judge Dunne, of the superior court, at the hearing of his application for a writ of habeas corpus, which would release him from a charge filed at San Bernardino, accusing him of complicity in an alleged hold-up of eastern capitalists, in which his brother, Warner Scott, was seriously wounded.
 "Scotty" has been under $500 bail. The judge said that the or iginal complaint was defective, but in its absence he could not dismiss the case. Scott will be taken at once to San Bernardino.

Long Sleep Ends.

A LosAngeles paper says: Miss Florence Parker, whose mysterious sleep for several weeks excited the interest of the medical frater- nity, has left the hospital. Miss Parker is the daughter of a wealthy Arizona mining man. She began her strange sleep at Tucson, Arizona, and gradually lapsed into state of coma. For weeks she lay in trance and until two weeks ago there was little hope of her recovery. She lately began to recover consciousness, however, and has gradually come into a normal condition.

Hon. C. M. Shannon recently stated to the editor of the Tucson Citizen that Marcus A. Smith would be the unanimous choice of both parties for congress this year. The Era cannot agree with MT. Shannon on this proposition. MT. Smith worked hard, and with the help of others defeated jointure, and should, and does, receive full credit for it by both democrats and republicans, but to say that he will be indorsed by the republican party is mere twaddle. The republicans will have a candidate in the field, and the democrats will realize that there is something doing before the campaign is over. Clifton Era.

woman came to him with nine books,

them, and when the emperor refused
she few into rage threw three OF the
books into the fire and still asked the
same price for the remainder. The EN-.
peror again refused. and she thereupon
threw three more into the fire and still
asked the same price for the three TO
naming. This so astonished the en-
peror that he bought the three at the
price for which in the first instance he
might have had the nine. These were
the Sibylline books. and their contents
were long looked upon by the Romano
as divine Oracles.
