kineman House De-
 stroyed by Fire.

Yesterday evening about 4:30, the alarm of fire was given that the King man House was on fire and immediate y men and boys were hard at work slringing hose and forming bucket brigades to suppress the fire that was eating it's way through the big wood- en structure at the corner of Front and Third streets. From the first the task was hopeless, as the fire ran through the building with incredible rapidity. Every effort was then made to save the adjoining buildings, and with the good work done and the fact that the wind was from the north, the other buildings did not even get a scorching.
 The Kingman House covered the ground between Front street to the alley, l25 feet. Ia the rear of the building was the kitchen, and it was in this place that the fire broke out. Mrs. Junji the proprietor, was at work in the kitchen and was badly burned in attempting to save her effects.
 The loss will be about 10,O00S, cov- cred by insurance of about 4,5OO$.

The Western Railway is now run ming two trains day, but expect to be able to care for all ore shipments with one daily train, with few ex- captions. The practice of running two trains daily will be continued should it be found that the tonnage makes as rapid increase as it has in the past six months, or the roadbed will have to be rebuilt and heavier motive power put on.

The Cause of Rheumatism.

Stomach trouble, lazy liver and de- ranged kidneys are the cause of rheu- matism. Get your stomach, liver, kid neys and bowels in healthy condition by taking Electric Bltters, and you will not be troubled with the pains of rheumatism. Charles B. Allen, a school principal, of Sylvania, Ga, who suffered indescribable torture from rheumatism, liver and stomach trouble and diseased kidneys. writes: "All remedies failed until 1 used Electric Bitters, but four bottles of this won- derful remedy cured me completely" " Maybe your rheumatic pains come from stomach, liver and kidney trou- bles. Electric Bitters will give you prompt relief. soc and $l.00. Recom- mended by H. H. Watkins.

Work is to be commenced within a few days on the De la Fountaine mine, at Stockton Hill. While only a small force of men will be employed for the present it is the intention of the parties holding the property under option to increase this force as soon as conditions permit. At the present time the presence of snow in the mountains is deterrant to mining, but it is expected that the roads will soon be in condition to haul supplies to the mines. The shaft on the de la Fountaine is to be sunk to depth of several hundred feet below the present level, and the shaft on the. Cupel is to be repaired and put in first class condition for operation.

 The board of supervisors met last Monday and transacted much lm- portant business. Among the many important acts was the selection of plans for the new courthouse. The award was made to c. E. Walker, of Denver, whose plans were also select ed by committee of business men ap- pointed at meeting of the good roads association last Monday night. The plans contemplate stone and con. crete building. handsomely finished in- side and out. That the county will get value received in thls building goes, as the people of Kingman are determined to have a building that will not only be criterion of the greatest mineral county of the state, but an ornament that will stand long in Arizona as the most commodious and uptodate courthouse of the state.
 That Kingman will have to incor- porate and provide the necessary fire protection for the town, as we'll as a sewer system, was evidenced by the fire in the Kingman House yesterday. With proper equipment the danger from the spread of fire would be les sened, and in building other than an inilamable wooden structure it would be possible to confne the flames to one or two rooms, Instead af allowing the whole building to be consumed. King man needs many things that incor- poration would be able to provide and we hope the people will realize the necessities of the town and get to- gether on this work. The expense to the taxpayers would be light and the benefits incalcuable. Already it is the impression of several of the phy- sicians that the wells of the town are being contaminated from the sink | holes, and it is sure to become more and more apparent as these sinkholes fill and overflow. Sewer system is the only solution of this problem, and in connection with the railroad sewer system the people may be able to solve the pro blem at small cost.

To leave her for an instant was like
having his LIES sun in eclipse. At
last she freed herself from his arms
and babe him so. He had gone as far
as the door, his hand upon the knob
when she quickly crossed the small
space between them, threw her arms
around his neck and whispered:
Remember, dear, in whatever you
do, I'm with you. May my love and
my confidence support you ever
1t seemed to him like a benediction.
Again were his arms around her. again
their lips pledged their hearts last
ing love. Gently he released himself
from her embrace, and with parting
smile was gone.
Wright stepped into the library, his
eyes upon Gloria until the closed door
shut her from his sight. He turned to
find himself face to face with David
Kerr
While Wright had been talking to
Gloria, Kerr and Kendall had Joined
the attorney in the library AS soon
as the editor saw with whom he had
to deal, he recognized how hard
pressed were his friends the enemy,
since no go-between was employed. He
was being asked to treat with the
boss of Belmont himself
You know Mr.. Kendall and Mr.
Kerr" Gilbert said, without resorting
to his social manner as was mis- Gus
tom This he knew to be a case OF
diamond cut diamond, and there was
no occasion for any seeming show of
friendliress.
Il had the pleasure of meeting them
at your house"
1t was easy to see from the direct
opening Of the conversation that there
was to be little beating around the
bush. Gilbert took chair at the head
of the long library table. Wright sat
to his left, where he could see the Goor
Of the room in which Gloria waited
for him. Opposite to him we're Kerr
and Kendall
It's been a hot campaign were the
boss first words, but we can afford

Wright was not to be led into any
admission which might be used against
him later, and therefore would not as

What l can afford has nothing to

Belmont afford to give itself up TO this
terminal trust that leaves no stone IN

and parks of the town? That IS only
the first step. Where do you propose
it shall end?"
That's where you misrepresent our
side, Mr.. Wright" said Kendall. The
undertaking you speak Of is perfectly
legitimate, for the direct benefit Of
Belmont | challenge you to prove
that what you have accused US OF be-
ing about to do is really the intention
of this company. Nothing, sir, is far
Their from it."
That's all been gone over" Wright
said, turning to the lawyer at the head
of the table. There's nothing new
TO be said along that line. Was it for
this you sent for me, Judge Gilbert"
NO. | asked you to come over here

EGYPT's DEBT TO WORMS
Their Digging Through Thousands Of
Years is What Makes Fertility of
the Valley Of the White Nile.

The fertility of the valley of the
White Nile is renowned. British sci
entifc surveyors report that its re-
markable productiveness is due in
large part to the diligence of earth
worms, which have been digging it
for thousands of years. Observations
are recorded showing that during the
active six months Of each year the
castings of the worms brought to the
surface there amount to about 240,-
pounds an acre. Spread out evenly,
this would make an appreciate an
nual layer Darwin estimated that
the castings of five years in England
would cover the whole kingdom with
4 layer of new earth an inch thick,
IN the Nile valley the layer would
doubtless be thicker were the worms
equally numerous and busy. as ap-
pears to be the case, because the
proportion of honorable land there
is much less than in the British isles
It must be remembered, also. that, in
addition to the beneficial service Of
stirring up the sell, admitting air
and water more easily, and. bringing
deep deposits to the surface, there
is a constant fertilization effected by
the vegetable matter dragged into
their burrows by the worms, much
OF which is left to decay where 1t
will do the most good.-Harper'
Weekly.

Became a Soldier After All.

Mrs. Crissey of Decatur, ILL.,, whose
husband was chaplain in an Illinois
regiment, related to a visitor that
many years ago her little baby, while
playing in the street, fell down, ard
began to cry. A very tall young man,
who was just then passing by with a
yoke of oxen, picked the child up, and
handing him inside the gate, said,
cheerily, you will never make a sol
der if you cry for that" The little
fellow at once banished his grief. The
tall young man was Abraham Lincoln,
and Mrs. Crissey introduced to the
visitor young captain, home O. fur
Tough, as her son, who had become a
soldier after all.
