More Ysaul oepfedstions.

Friday of last week, at a point on the line of the Cananea, Gaqui River X Pacific railway, known as Boca Alberto, but a short distance from Cruz de Piedra station, which latter is but few kilometres from Empalme, band of thirty Yaquis attacked a party of travellers in- c.uding eight men. who were going out into the country in two con- veyances, one a carriage, the other a wood wagon. They killed several of the horses and mules in the teams, killed man and wounded another so that his recovery was a matter of doubt. The six com panions of the killed and wounded men escaped, making their way to the railway station afoot, and reported the affair.
 At Cruz de Piedra is stationed a detachment of soldiers. The officer in command took his men and some nine vaquerOs, making an armed force of twenty-two men, and went in pursuit of the hostiles. Shortly the outfit returned to the station and reported that they had found the Indians, but that there were more than 200 in the band, instead of the crowd of thirty reported by the men who had encountered them.
 Several depredations are report ed from the lower Yaqui and the vicinity of Guaymas. It is reported that captain and nine soldiers were ambushed in the vicinity of Batamotal, Monday of last week, and all killed. Upon the same day two men were killed on the road between Buena Vista and Cumu- ripa. The long period of quietness on the part of the Yaquis in Sono- ra appears to have terminated. Be fore the rains there was no water in the country, and they had to remain quiet. They could not travel. Now the rains have started the springs and filled all the water holes; and the hostiles can travel So they are leaving the ranches, where they had been peaceful a number of months, and are making trouble again.

TO RAISE SALARIES.

On January 18th the house voted,
1873 to o2, to increase the salaries OF
the vce-president, the speaker and
the members of the cabinet to $4,000
year, and the salaries of senator's
and representatives and delegates
from the territories to $500. The in
crease voted to the cabinet officers is
imperative the increase to the vice
president and speaker is unquestion-
ably proper. AS for the senators and
representatives, their case is less
pressing. Yet they should have, i'll
our opinion, the increase of pay pro-
posed. 1t is really not so much an
increase of pay as an adjustment.
The cost and standard of living in
Washington have increased so much
since the pay of members of congress
was last fixed that $500 goes no
farther now than $1,000 did then, and
if $1,000 was a proper salary then,
$500 is no more than proper now.
The same reasoning applies to the
pay of the army and navy, the fed
eral judges and many others, includ-
ing especially the ambassadors and
other members of the diplomatic and
consular service.

TRUTH

mains that the child of tuberculous
parents is danger. He may not &C
quire the disease by direct heredity,
but he often has legacy of weakened
resisting power which predisposes
him to the attacks Of any infectious
disease; and as he is peculiarly ex-
posed to tuberculosis in the home
where the malady prevails, it is no
wonder that he sooner or later ac-
quires it.
That he may be saved from this
fate demands the cooperation of two
persons-himself and the person who
is already a sufferer. The sick per-
son must use the greatest care to
destroy the eXpectorated matter, and
also to prevent communicating the air
by bacillus-laden spray when he
coughs. The sputum should be de-
posted in special receptacle-a pa
per napkin which can be Immediately
burned, or cardboard box which
can be used number of times and
then thrown into the fire.
When coughing he should hold a
handkerchief before the face, and i'll
speaking he should never stand very
close to the person addressed. The
sufferer should never kiss any one,
and in receiving kiss should offer
the cheek or the forehead.
Napkins and handkerchiefs used by
him should not go into the common
wash, and for additional safety they
had better be of paper and be burned
after use.
The person who has not yet the
disease, but who is predisposed there
to, should follow the same rules as
one who is being treated for the &C
tual disease, although perhaps less
vigorously. He should sleep i'll the
open air, or at least by an open win
dow, and should be outdoors as much
as possible during the day. The hours
of study should be short,-never at
highland the time spent i'll school
cut down as far as possible.
The food should be very nourish-
ing, with plenty of butter, salad oil,
( and other digestible fats, and glass
of milk should be taken in the middle
of the morning and of the afternoon
and shortly before bedtime. The
source of the milk should be known,
for that from a diseased cow may be
itself the carrier of tubercuous
germs. Fatigue should be avoided
and the hours of sleep long.
If child has adenoid growths they
should be removed, and deep breath
ing taught until it becomes a habit
Bathing or sponging with cool OF
cold water should be a daily morning
habit. In short, everything shoult
be done to strengthen the natura
powers of resistance, and to build III
good constitution.-Youth's Com

chested, long bodied bandy-legged
man with venerable beard used to
preach in the evenings, in very dingy
little hall situated in that part of
Chicago which abounds in pawnshops
and saloons. He told the handful of
people who drifted in to listen that he
possessed the power of healing by
laying on of hands, and that they
were mostly works of the devil; also,
that his name was John Alexander
Dowie. 1t was fairly certain that
such preacher would sooner or lat
err mpinge upon that vast, hungry
sense of humor which is so inform
ingly part of Western journalism.
The reporters, in fact, soon discov-
cred him and began putting him in
funny little two-stck items, occasion
ally with half-column cartoon. He
was, so to speaek, loaded for them.
His rip-roaring invectves and super
natural claims gave them exactly the
material for humorous exploitation.
Very soon Doctor Dowie became
standing joke in the newspapers. Co
incidentally, some two or three mil
lion newspaper readers became aware
of Doctor Dowie-and the prophet
was able to buy an extensive build
ing on Michigan Avenue and hire the
largest theatre in town for his
preachings.
Then the press took him seriously
and denounced him for an impostor
in long, conspicuous news and editor
ial artices-so the theatre became far
too small to hold the audiences, and
Dowic bought great tract OF land
on the lake shore and built Zion. We
have no idea how many million dol
lare his followers have turned over
to him, or how many hundred thous-
and he has spent for his personal de-
location, or whether his expulsion
from Zion and the tremendous ensu
ing commotion imply the fall of his
cult or frmer foundation for it. That
he collected millions and built city
is a sufficient illustration of the i'm
mense power of publicity. The re-
porters' jokes did it, The later ex-
coriations by the press merely but
tressed the edifce.
There is no word in the language
rolled over the tongue with more saw
or than the word Success. Sundays
and holidays men may be willing to
admit in a spirit of dispassionate en-
lightenment that life holds more than
one kind of success. But when the
fat, red-faced citizen plows up the
avenue in his Thousand dollar car,
or somebody works the Street for
few extra millions, or neighbor
Jones energies from pool to build a
hundred-thousand-d house, it
means real Success, and the ordinary
man gets off the walk and throws up
his hat. For the ordinary man thinks
that what he wants out of life can be
got if he has the price. To get the
price means Success
Success is the end of being, all
right; it is living completely the life
that the organism was meant to live
by tfc law of its creation. AS there
are many types. of organism in this
interesting world, there should be
many different kinds of Success. What
the world, in its big, generalizng
way, calls Success is usually mixed
with accident, and is oftenest failure
judged by the law of the man who
has made it. The biggest human sue
cess is to be completely man or a
woman, and that is more difficult than
to be Millionaire or a popular auth
or. The farmer may have his years

CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
Plans for improving City Hall Adopted.
Slaughter Pen to Be Moved.

The principal business of the city
aouncil meeting yesterday after
noon was the consideration of plans
for the proposed Improvement and
enlargement of the market build
ing aid city hall, which occupies
'the upper floor of the market.
Plans were submitted by Contrac-
tors M. Hanson and A. Goldam-
mer, and, after considerable dis
cussion, Mr.. Hanson's plans were
adopted. 1t was then decided to
secure specifications for the work
according to these plans.
1t was decided to move the
slaughter pens from their present
location to site somewhere below
town, located on the river, and a
committee was appointed to see
about securing the necessary
ground. As soon as the site is Sc
cured, the new slaughter house
will be erected on a much more
sanitary plan than at present.

CLOSE on the discovery that de-
fective steel rails were the cause of
most of the railroad disasters which
have occurred with such distress
sing frequency of late, comes news
that Hartman has turned down
the Bessemer steel rails of the
Birmingham factories and given
big order for rails to a Tennessee
factory. The Bessemer process
was hailed at first as a great adj
vance in the manufacture of steel
rails, but it seems now to have
been hideous, CHASTITY mistake.
which has been paid for with
hundreds of lives, and countless
gruaus of human agony. 1t has
been costly lesson to Americans,
and in all probability will be a
costly one to the steel men as well
as to the railroads before it is final
1y recti6ed. And the worst of it
Is that the end is not yet in sight,
for the many thousands of miles
of track that have been laid with
these same defective rails are still
there, a menace to American trav-
eIers all over the continent.
