PERSISTENT IN ERROR.

The national democratic party since
 before the war has been engaged in
 an unbroken series of blunders.
 Twice they were not fatal, once be- cause fate seemed to pursue the re- publican party and once because the democratic blunder was more than offset by a greater republican error.
 Leaving out of account the nomi- nation of Mir. Bryan, which may be considered already to have been ac- complished, the democrats at Denver have the chance of doing the wise thing or the unwise thing in the se- lection of a running mate.
 While perhaps not many people have an abiding belief in democratic success in any circumstances next November, there is always a chance of success which is capable of being either strengthened or weakened. There are at least two candidates either of whom would greatly add to the strength of Bryan, Judge Gray and John Mitchell There is another. Hon. Chas. Towne, who could not bring to the democratic ticket a single vote which MT Bryan himself would not attract
 Gray or Mitchell either would not only make a stronger bid for the sup port of organized labor but they would raise the ticket in the esti- nation of the business interests of the country without whose aid no president has ever been elected. The commercial and finan- cial world feels a degree of confi- dence in either of those gentlemen. It feels none at all in either Bryan or Towne
 The indications now are that fol- lowing a precedent, honorable by age, the democrats at Denver will choose Towne for the reason of his complete l sympathy with Bryan's policies which | the business element complains are distatseful. These policies di- | luted by the nomination of a con- servative or at least a level-headed ] democrat, might be swallowed by some business men.
 It looks now as if the democratic | campaign is to be a continuation of | those of the last twelve years-an | infuriate appeal to the masses to rise against the classes, an attempted di- vision of the citizens of the United . States which the majority has al- ways resented at the polls.

BULLEIS STOPPED HIM
 SHOOTER SURRFNDtRS
George DuValI and Charles Dixon Have
 An Alteration At Five Points.

In a shooting scrape at the Cowboy corral at Five Points yesterday after noon about 2 o'clock, George Duvall was shot and wounded, painfully though not seriously, by Charles Dix on, an eX-cowpuncher and horse train CT. The weapon used was a 3S Smith and Wesson. Dixon at once started
 for town and surrendered himself to the police officers without protest He was turned over by the city marshal to Sheriff Hayden. and will probably be arraigned today before Justice Johnstone out of whose court a war rant was issued charging Dixon with assault
 Drs. Plath and Watkins dressed the wounds of the injured man and pro- nounced them not serious, unless blood poisoning should set in which is not anticipated. Duvall. it is said was coming toward Dixon at the time with his head down and a knife cIinched in his right hand. Dixon fired two shots, one passing through the thigh of Duvalrs leg, and the other entering his right forearm, which was doubled up, and passed also through the up- ptIpdIl OI HIS arm ana came out De- hind. This same shot. also grazed the arm and shoulder of Frank Duvall. the injured mans brother, making a slight flesh wound. He was at the time try ing to hold his brother back or take him away, and was almost in line with the course of the bullet
 The stories of the eye witnesses though differing in some particulars. agree in the main, that DuvaH was the aggressor. According to the best au- thenticated tale, he was under the in- fluence of liquor and had been annoy ing and in an ugly temper about the corral. trying to pick a quarrel with different people. Among the witnesses to the affair were Jeff England the manager of the corral, Frank DuvaH. Willie Isley, Lyall Thrift. O. E. Tufts. who represents the National Biscuit company, and others.
 According to the story given by Dixon at the jail last night, DuvalI abused him and he told him to go off and leave him alone. Dixon says Du-

wall pulled a pocket knife and he went
 into the saddle room, and Duvan fol-
 lowed him to the door Dixon picked
 up a gun and told him to move on.
 When Dixon came out of the saddle
 room with the gun. Duvall ducked his head and raised his arm and started
 toward Dixon. The latter then fired at him twice just as Frank Duvall caught hold of his brother. Regarding this point some of the stories differ.
 After the shooting Dixon walked away toward the business part of the city. MT Tufts caught up with him
 and told him he had better go up to the sheriffs office and surrender. Dixon made no objection and at the corner of Fifth and Washington streets was met by Officer Perrin and later by Officer Troutman who took him in charge. Officer Sullivan later went out and arrested another drunk who was down and out, at the corral. and who it was remarked by some had been partly the cause of the trouble; just how it was not stated
 When the physicians arrived on the scene, Duvall became Obdurate about having his shoes taken off When She doctors explained that they were fuq of blood. he remarked, that he didn't care if they were. he wanted to die with his boots on" George Duvan is the proprietor of the Midway lunch room and is not very well known. hay ing come here only recently. Dixon says he was practically a stranger to him.
 Dixon is well known here and at Flagstaff. He has been in Arizona about 20 years and is considered not man to seek trouble He has been about corrals for several years here, and three or four years ago was employed by MT Houck at Cave Creek. He had some trouble of a similar nature at Flagstaff several years ago, but was exonerated at the preliminary hearing. for shooting a Mexican, who was only slightly iniur- ed He had been attacked by two men armed with clubs and rocks and he winged them merely to stop further trouble. At another time. he was at lacked one night by a Mexican who had a grudge against him. and was shot in the back of the head

PERIL IN SILK PETTICOATS.

I
 Beware the fnsidious lure of the silk petticoat, is the cry of Mrs. Dan iel Kneffler. of the St. Louis Wo- mans Trade Union League. The swish of the silk skirt, in her opinion, has caused the ruin of more girls than any other one agency. It makes an appeal to feminine vanity that is too strong to be resisted, and draws girls into temptations that otherwise would have no attraction. If Mrs. Kneffler's views are correct, the ap pie that was the cause of Eyes trou- bles makes it's reappearance in the twentieth century in the guise of the silk skirt. It is wholly beyond the power of the masculine mind to ana lyze the fascination of the silk gar ment, or to suggest a method by which it may be overcome. only a woman can sympathize with a sister who is in danger of losing her soul because a silk skirt makes such sweet music to her ears. Boys are fortunate in this respect. There is nothing in the way of apparel for which a boy would barter his soul, after he has acquired his first pair of trousers.

It is the opinion of Professor Alex ander Graham Bell that the flying age is about to be ushered in, and that aeroplanes will soon be used in transporting the mails. It is not probable that even his fellow workers in the field of aviation will coincide entirely in the venerable scientists .roseate views, but it is becoming evil dent that great progress has recently been made in the development of heavier than-air flying machines, as was illustrated in the performance of Count Zeppelin day before yesterday. It is never quite safe, in these days of intelligent scientific research, to predict failure on any line of en- deavor, but it is doubtful if the aerial delivery route will be in com mission before the snow flies

Col. Wattersons opposition to the Parker resolutions in honor. of Cleve- land appears on it's face to be dis tinguished by honest and virtuous in dignation; that his sole concern is harmony within the democratic par ty. But it must not be forgotten that there was no time in MT. -Cleveland's life time after 1888 when Col. Wat terson would have assented to any sort of tribute to him. An animosity of long standing against the ex-pres- ident was intensified by the failure of the coloners prophecy in 1892 when he declared that Cleveland if nominated would lead the den1ocratic party through a slaughter house to an open grave"

This is a locality of great agri- cultural diversity. A stranger about this time of year, seeing the process sions of wagons laden with sacks of barley, might think Phoenix was sit uated in the heart of the grain belt. That is, he might think so if his at tention was not first attracted by the procession of wagons laden with cantaloupes and watermelons. Early in the winter there are processions of orange wagons to the exclusion of all other products of the field. There are many strings to Phoenix's bow.

The various bidders have all done all they could in behalf of their several loca- tions, the competition is ended and there is nothing to do but await the award. Every bidder will have the satisfaction of knowing that wherever the building may be located, it will help Phoenix.

'It takes all kinds of men to make up the democratic party and then there are hardly enough" observes MT. Dooley, a remark that is forcibly recalled by the news that MT. Bryan will have the valuable assistance and support of his dearest enemy, Roger Sullivan. of Illinois, in making up the convention slate.

MINISTER'S AS SOCIALISTS.
Large Number Attend the Meetings
At Old Orchard.

Old Orchard, Me-, Aug. 13.-The days
meeting Of the Christian Sociallstlc
Fellowship were held in the campground
grove Wednesday and were attended
opening day The meetings have at
tracted considerable attention locally
on account of the prominence of the
ministers III leadership, and because of
the radical differences between the Eel
lowship and som other denominations
that mold campmeetings here.
Several lively debates have been held
at every conference, as the Fellowship
welcomes a discussion of religious mat
tiers, and Wednesday the meetings were
more spirited than ever. Rev. George
Willis Cook of Wakefield, Mass, spoke
at the forenoon meeting. He told of the
remarkable progress OF socialism
among men in the ministry, and claim
ed that there were 1000 men in pulpits
who were in sympathy with Socialism,
if not avowed Socialists. In the discus
sion he was attacked by members Of
other denominations, although but lit
tie was said against his points.
A big closing meeting was held in
the evening with short addresses by
many Of the Fellowship leaders, in
Guiding Curtis A. Perry of Portland,
the Socialist candidate for Governor
of Maine; Rev. John d. Long, Rev. F.
X. Clifford of Laconia. n. H.; Rev. Ell

WHAT CAUSES INDIGESTION.
To Be Cured, Weakness of Stomach
Muscles Must be Overcome.

The chief cause of indigestion is the
weakness of the stomach muscles and
the lack of gastric juice.
To make n complete cure of stomach
trouble, most people think they have
to give up business and devote their
time to dieting, exercise, and, perhaps,
vacation
But by taking Mi-o-na stomach
tablets the stomach muscles will be
stimulated and strengthened and the
flow of gastric juice will be increased.
Mi-o-na does not do the stomach's
work: it makes the stomach strong
enough to do it. In this way the
trouble is completely cured and there
is no further need Of medicine.
No matter how severe a case OF
stomach trouble you have, Mi-o-na
will cure it by strengthening the whole
digestive system. and you will soon
find that both stomach and bowels do
their work as they should.
Bowditch, Webster & Co sell
Mi-o-na in 50-cent boxes, and guaran-
tee to refund the money if the remedy
does not give complete satisfaction
They take all the risk, and the remedy
costs you nothing unless it cures
If you suffer with sick headache,
heartburn, bad taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, specks before the eyes,
sleeplessness, nervous troubles, or any
of the other symptoms of indigestion,
here is the chance to get a remedy on
the falrest plan ever known-costs
nothing unless it cures.
