TOBACCO KILLS MICROBES.
Comfort to Know That Smoke Is Pre-
veation of Disease.

Comfort to Know That Smoke Is Pre-.
venton of Disease.
Lovers of tobacco in it's various Sc
ductive forms who have been at times
a trife conscience smitten by reason
of the alleged deplorable effects OF the
tobacco habit upon the mind and body
should henceforth be able to smoke
their pipes in peace, since no less an
authority than the London Lancet, the
foremost journal of the medical world,
has risen up to declare in most delib-
crate and positive way that tobacco
smoke contains an appreciable amount
of formaldehyde, one of the most pow
erful of antiseptics and germ killers.
1t is because of the presence of this
chemical agent in tobacco smoke that
users of the weed are largely immune,
it is said, from certain dread diseases
of the throat, lungs and nasal pass
ages. The reasoning, which seems y
be quite conclusive, is that the smoke,
passing through the mouth and nose,
effectually disposes of the microbes
constantly deposited there and thus
supplies the needful ounce of preven-
tiCn for many diseases.
While one part of formaldehyde in
10, 600 parts of water is sufficient to de-
stroy all bacterial life, the amount OF
poison found in tobacco smoke is so
infinitesimal that it has no injurious
effect upon the human organism.

THRILLING EXPERIENCE
 OF FOUR YOUNG LADIES
A Narrow Escape In the Vicinity of
 the Double Buttes

The Republican is indebted to an unknown contributor for the follow ing. account of the strenuous experi- ence of party of young ladies last Friday morning.
 Friday morning bright and early. four charming Normal lassies started to climb the Tempe Butte. losing the trail they wandered off into the coun- try and found the Double Buttes, which they climbed. From there they spied an orange grove and big ranch home They had become yery thirsty and as it was nearing high noon, they immediately and forthwith proceeded to blow through irrigated fields and herds of cattle in order to be able to quench their thirst and save them selves from starvation. After making desperate and strenuous efforts. they succeeded in crossing wide ditch on two by four They reached the home. but the orange grove was still in the distance Their lives were spared. They spent something like two hours at this home and after hay ing found an old witch who lives in the Buttes. they had their fortune told. Then they started to wend their way home but were lost again and only reached home in time to prepare themselves for the governors recep- tion. with no time for their supper.

THANKSGIVING BIRD
 CAUSED MUCH FRIGHT
One Young Man Made the Victim of a
 Practical Joke

certain young man. whose name for the sake of his feelings will not be mentioned. came nearer expiring from fright a few nights ago than hs ever did before With a party of thres other yosng men living south of town he was induced to pay visit to q neighbours farm to secure a turkey for Thanksgiving. 1t being known that some fine birds had a habit of roost- ing high up in tree. One of the party declined to go. but as soon as the other three had started. he hasten ed on ahead and was secluded near the tree when the trio arrived. The 'vic- tim was allowed the privilege oi climbing the tree after the turkey and was about half way up when the fourth party turned loose his artillery The man up the tree dropped to the ground at the first shot and another of the three added to the reality oi the play by falling to the ground and crying that he was hit. This only intensified the victims desire to get somewhere else as soon as possible and it is said he made the two miles between there and home in a style that would have put the crack Indian school runner at the track meet wa in the dark.

INDIANS QUTCLASSEO BY THE NORMAL TEAM THE OUTCOME NEVER IN DOUBT A New Territorial Record Made By
 Lynch in the Hurdles
THE OUTCOME NEVER IN DOUBT

In the track meet at the Normal grounds Saturday afternoon between the Normal team and the team from the Phoenix Indian school, the former plainly outclassed the latter The final score was - to 56 in favor of the Normal, and there was no doubt of the outcome after the first few events. Phe Indians showed their superiority in the long runs. where their natural endurance was better than that of the white boys. The day was cold and disagreeable and not conducive to the best of work but even with this handicap some good records were made and on the 220 yard hurdles fifth of a seeond was clipped off the territorial record by Lynch. of the Normal. who made it in 27 4-5. r Following is the slightly incom- plete record of the events and their winners.

DEATH OF PITCAIRN
WAS AN ACCIDENT
So Decided the Coroner's Jury in Case
OF Sunday Mornings Tragedy.

The inquest of Alfred b. Pitcairn
whose manEled body was found by the
8. F., Z. & =. track near the Hard
wick hotel on Sunday morning was
concluded yesterday before Coroner
tombstone and verdict of death by
accident was rendered.
There had been a report i'm the
morning that Pitcairn had been jerked
from his place on the rods" by a
brakeman just as the train was start
ing at half past two o'clock on Sunday
morning and effort was made to trace
the report. II had come in round
about waV from a Mexican who it was
said had witnessed the incident and
told an American about it and the lat
ter had told some one else. This
American could not he located nor was
there any information as to the iden-
tity of the Mexican.
one OF the discoveries Of the body
about six o'clock was a Mexican but
he had related no such story as that.
There We're several things about the
tale that seemed inconsistent. In the
first place it is not believed that any
brakeman would have been so in
human as To have left a man in the
mangled condition in which Pitcairn
was found; it was not probable that
,the Mexican witnessing his death
would have failed To inform some one
at once
There is doubt as to the exact time
when Pitcairn was killed His partner
Woods who was going with him said
that it was a little before two o'clock
when Pitcairn went under the car
Woods said that he did not want to
go under until just before the train
started and he crossed to the NJ. x p
grounds, sat down on a truck and went
to sleep. He did not get awake until
after the train had gone
The sleeper under which Pitcairn
went was setting down the track near
the Center street crossing II is the
practice to make the connection with
this car about half an hour before the
train leaves. After the connection the
train pulls up nearly a car length and
stands there until it is time to start
1t is also the practice for the brake
man to inspect the cars before the
train starts to see whether there are
tramps above or below. This inspcc-
ton is made Of course after the Cou-
ping. Therefore it is thought that
Pitcairn must have been jolted from
his insecure place on the rods and
killed. Though he was dragged about
fifteen feet he was cast aside before
the train came to a stop and thus the
brakeman making his inspection would
not have discovered the body

in a telegram the day before from Mrs.
TAYLOR. n sister Of Pitcairn. would call
and look after the body appeared yes
