HOW SHORTY" MASON DIED IN AGUA PR|ETA BATTLE LETTER FROM A PANlON IN
 ARMS. A Braver Man Was Never Under
 Fire.

Since the publication of the dis ing the death of Edward Mason who was among the insurrectos at the battle of Agua Prieta last Thursday there have been many inquiries by acquaintances of Mason for particu- lars of his death, most of them eX pressing a hope that it would turn out that it was not the shorty Mason they knew. He had many friends in Phoenix
 But the details are supplied and the ceived by R. N Moorehead, a lino- type operator of this office, from David McAllister, companion of Mason here and also a companion of his in that fight
 The letter dated last Saturday fol lows:
 Mir R. N. Morehead,
 Phoenix, Ariz.
 Dear Sir-I guess you have not forgotten the night in Phoenix that you gave shorty Mason and myself $1.00 apiece when we told you we were going to join the insurrectos.
 We had a hard time getting across the line having to come all the way to Douglas before we could succeed in the attempt I know you must have seen in the newspapers of "Shorty's" death in the battle of

by the federals tomorrow with a bunch of machine guns. We look for the fiercest battle of the whole war.
 l tell you we had lot of hot fighting for two hours. We lost about thirty men and the federals about twenty five dead and thirty two captured If anybody tells you that the insurgents don't mean business and don't know how to fight tell them for me that they are lot of liars.
 If you see Dr. Reed tell him that shorty made good use of his pistol and that the last thing he said was, Where is my pistol, Mac, have you found it yet?' Some one took it in the battle and l have not yet been able to find it.
 We are having a grand time here in Douglas the town simply went wild with delight at our victory It was like a big ball game. the Amer jeans cheered and threw money across the line all during the battle which was very hot from the jump. We could not fire at them in the direc- tiOn of the line but we had to go down the border and Oust them from three cement guardhouses. These places caused us to lose so many men.
 Believe me we are conducting things as orderly as any trained army are having no disorderly conduct, no footing. no rapine and no drunken ness. l have only a few minutes to

For Catarrh
Medicine Free in Every Case Where 1t
 Fails to Relieve.

Neglect or peSsimism, we believe, Is
 the greatest enemy the public has to
 contend sWith when applied to the loss or recovery of health. Practically ev-
 cry case of consumption might have 1 been cured if hope had been main ! tained and proper treatment had been resorted to at the first symptom of the
 disease. Until the advanced stage is
 reached consumption is curable. Ca
 tarrh is responsible, we believe, for many cases of consumption. It is about catarrh we want to talk to you today. incidentally consumption, since the two are so closely allied.
 We have a medicine made from a prescription of one of the most sue cessful catarrh specialists known. We believe it is positively without an equal. We are so satisfied that we are right. that We will supply the medicine free in every instance where it is used according to directions for a reasOn- able length of time, should tt fail to give satisfaction in every particular. We want every ore to try this medicine at our risk There are no conditions at tached to our offer. We put the user under no obligation to us whatever.

It purifies and enriches the blood, tones up the mucous cells, and brings about a con dition of health and strength that tends to prevent the germs of consumption from getting a start. Besides this, Rexall Mucu-Tone is a wonderful ap- petizer, digestive aid and flesh build CT Its good effects are often felt from the very first dose. It is one of the largest and most satisfactory selling medicines that we have ever had any thing to do with

Agua Prieta last Thursday afternoon. We came here and joined the forces of Col. Red" Lopez about a month ago. We got 3O-3O Winchesters and 200 rounds of cartridges and marched boldly across the line about o'clock in the mOrning-about 75 of us without any trouble whatever. Up to Thursday We did not do anything much but drill and hike across the country. Finally. Colonel Lopez on Wednesday called us all up and ask ed all of us who were not afraid to go to Agua Prieta to get on his right hand. About 300 of us incuding twen- ty Americans promptly stepped over So that afternoon We held up a train on the Nacozari railway and rode 75 miles from Agua Prieta and camped. The next morning. Thursday, we held up the train and added a lot of empty steel cars and loaded all the insurrectOs on and headed the train for Douglas.
 We rushed right into the very town itself. We caught 1O2 Mexican reg ulars off their guard and after fierce fighting which lasted about two hours
 
 town, dislodged the regulars, got 5000 rounds of Mauser bullets and loo modern rifles The Americans led the charge from the depot uptown, and poor old Shorty was as happy a man as you ever saw. We were in the lead up a street that was swept by a continuous stream of Mauser bullets from g regulars intrenched on the top of a high adobe building. The only way We could fight was to jump from one doorway to another and shoot them when they poked their heads up to take aim at us I tried to get Shorty" to keep under cover as much as possible but he was reck- less and We had not gone more than fifty feet before he was shot to pieces, receiving six wounds. all in front. l never saw a cooler or braver man under action. Three of the Americans were killed only in the fight and two wounded. We brought shorty" to the hospital on this side and he lived and was rational until o'clock last night when he died quietly.

A PRIMITIVE VIEW
 OF THE BULLFROG

The frogs in America, it must here be observed, make a most singular noise, some of them being absolutely whistling, whilst others croak so loudly that it is difficult at times to tell whether the sound proceeds from a calf or a frog. l have more than once been deceived by the noise when walking in a meadow. These last frogs are called bullfrogs; they mostly keep in pairs and are never found but where there is good wa ter; their bodies are from four to seven inches long. and their legs are in proportion; they are extremely ac- tive and take prodigious Ieaps.-rrom an old book of travels.

MIR. PULITZER'S DEATH.


 Joseph Pulitzer remodelled news paper making in the United States. He was the father of yellow journal ism" The name was given by edi- tors who did not understand nor ap- prove the methods of the rival who came among them in the early sev- enties But the phrase took place in the language, as a title of journal istic honor. In essence the new jour- nalism consisted in telling the truth about the powerful as we'll as about the humble. It exposed wrong doing in lofty places. denounced alliances between wealth and vice, made virtue strong and pushed iniquity a little nearer to the precipice of disapprov- ing public opinion.
 The more dramatic presentation of the news which MT. Pulitzer ushered in should rank as one of the greatest labor saving inventions of the age. Before his time there was no distinc- tion, or little, in the columns of the newspaper. to indicate the relative importance of the wares. The read CT had to scan all closely, to get the

little, he desired. Pulitzer changed this. He brought his best wares straight to the eye of the reader, and direct to his mind.
 It was alleged that this method dis torted the value of the news, pre- senting what was trivial and passing more wildly than what was pregnant with result upon the future.
 Only to limited extent was this charge true. MT. Pulitzer put his best heads on wares that would at- tract the public, but in this way he brought the public up to a higher level of understanding and made them in loftier journalism than they had known. He was a man with a gift for organization, yet he had high ideals, devotion to the collective we'll being, a sympathy with the humble man, and wish to serve his fellows. The world is poorer by his death.>
 He was 3 great editor.

THE MEANING OF
 RIVAL CANDIDATES

'I shall wear no mans collar Maycrial Candidate ,Donnelly.
 All who know the man, know that this is no idle or empty -utterance. It is straight goods,'' s.all wool and yard wide" He meant it when said, to mean it in the Mayorial office. Proof of it is found in his every of ficial utterance and act, whether as Senator, Alderman or Collector.
 MT. Donnelly is neither lobbyist, nor an agent of public service cor porations. He is in nowise bound to the service of either of these classes in pernicious activity. He stands for what the Farmer has long contended. viz, for judicious regulation of public services, with municipal ownership as the rivai candidate. who owes his nomination to unpopular agencies and who is believed to represent, not the people of Bridgeport, not the Repub- Ican masses, put tHe -puDllc SeTNIcc corporations!
 Comparison of the two candidates cannot but be advantageous to the Democrat. Of MT. Donnelly, it may be said that every man has his fault, and his is honesty Of MT. Wilson, it may De said, with equal truth, that whatever his own impulses, he is fatally hampered by his position as the representative of special interests which evidently seek control of the city government for wholly selfish purposes, and he is specially fitted for such position by his policy of officia, secrecy. It is tribute to the saga city of the King" that he chose SO fitting a tool.
