onti-pneumonia serum was used in
cases Of type one pneumonia it has
been proven that this treatment is
reliable and effective. Two of the
patients we're very i'll. yet all have
recovered. To a person who knows
the least thing about sickness and
the resulting temperatures of the
patients the chart of the last patient
will be interesting and amazing. At

In the Herald published 25 years ago
appeared the following items, which
may strike a reminiscent chord in the
memory of some of our readers:
= April 1.--''Vendet the most re-
markabIe scenic production ever
staged, will be the opening attraction
at the Opera House, which has been
entirely renovated and rcmodeled.
William Middlemas and a party Of
friends went trout fishing today. Rus

April 3.---Prof. NJ. j. kenncy did the
prompting at the opening dance of the
Foresters' fair Saturday evening. John
Fox, the well-known character, was
run over and slightly injured by a
team yesterday. The Irish Home Rule
association will have a big meeting at
the Opera House, Tuesday evening.
April 4.--Louis Paul was shot and
killed by Gustave Becker in Farrell's
saloon shortly before noon today.
J. Harry, the 5-year- old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert Bradley. of Whiting street,
was struck in the eye with ball Sun
day and it Is feared the pupil was in
Jured. Nine out of ten citizens be-
lieve that the city streets should be
in better condition. Orson F. Curtis
has staked out the profiles for his new
dwelling house which he is to build
on Liberty street.
April 5.-It has since developed
that Jacob Becker, who shot and
killed Louis Pauf yesterday, fired three
shots into his victim and then attempt
cd suicide by firing one bullet into his
own head. G. w. Lee, Jr., of Coven-
try, has entered the employ of Den
tist> Durham.
While it is not strictly local news
of that time, it may, nevertheless be
of some interest at this time to read
the following editorial written by the
late Robert j. Vance which appeared
in the Herald of April I, 1893, show
ing that as far back as then the Kaiser
was seeking to establish = firm founda-
ton for his military power that now
threatens the world:
THE news from Germany, according
to the New York Herald, leads to the
prediction that there is to be a con-
f1ict between the people and their
ruler Looking at the controversy
without prejudice, we are forced to
admit that there is good ground for
believing that Emperor William is
making the mistake of his life IS
on the army bill question. The point
to be considered is: Is this measure

binary increase in the army absolutely
necessary TO the protection of the
country? Evidently not = It

Too Heavy a Call on Arizona.

Arizona thus far has sent about 1000 men to the colors in the great war. She has assessed about A. GOO for the last draft. There was protest against what appeared to be discrimination, but her repre- sentatives were informed the Census Bureau had figured out her populations and that the cali must be on that basis. Nothing availed a plea that the state con- tains 40,000 Indians, on reserva- tinns, and about that same num- Der of alien Mexican labOrers, not to speak of tn e large alien strength around the mines. So, when the exemptions were made and the aliens all had heen set aside, about 49% more than Ari- zona's just proportion of fine sturdy young fellows marched away. The injustice of the sys- tenn has been appreciated by Pro- vest Marshal Crowder, who is supporting congressional action that will base the draft quota of each district on men in Class 1, instead of on population. .-Ari- ZOna.

San Bernardino to Prescott, mak- ing no large money on returnOf 20 cents a pound. Some times he went with his burros after four and grain far down into Mexico. Then he was a mail contractor through the Apache country, from Prescott to Albuquerque and from the latter point to Fort Stanton and he even took a contract for a mail route from Prescott to Tu- bac. Hardship was the rule rath- CT than the exception. On one trip from the Zuni villages to the San Francisco mountains he start ed in midwinter with two days rations, to overtake a surveying party. He failed ard had to turn back, and for eleven days lived on water and mouldy corn found in a cache. Even his matches were eXhaus ed.
 At another time he was cap tured by Indians, while on a trad ing expedition near the site of the present Fort Apache. The lives of himself and six companions were saved by a chieftain's cap rice, but they were turned loose stripped of all save their shoes. It took tour days of travel to reach the Zuni village. Of days the mems bare skins were scOrch- ed by an autumn sun, while of nights they huddled together around fires. The journey was done on very light diet, mainly the fruit of the prickley pear and a scanty sharing of the carcass of a small dog that had followed from the Indian camp. On the last day Earth, wlO was well ahead, was given tOrtillas by a Zuni Indian and, refreshed, made rapid time into the village, from which he sent food and help.
