THE

reports from the State as to how

the Republican State Central Committeemen, who will be elected next Tuesday stand HS to the chairmanship, Mr. Gowdy and Lis friends are claiming eight or nine out of the thirteen, while Mr. Nebeker's friends claim about the same number for him. Somebody must be badly mistaken. The Indianapolis politicians are generally pulling for Nebeker, while Mr. Gowdy is more popular generally over the State.

JTOItTVIL.L.K.

Our town was visited by a heavy fire again ou Friday night The second one inside of three months and the fifth within five years. This time the [. O. O. F. block large frame structure was entirely consumed. The I. O. O. F., the of P. aud Rebekahs lost all of their p&rephenalia, furuitnre, arid etc. There were two business rooms below occupied by II. A. Burris with a restaurant and grocery and by Robert Maranville, editor of ihe Tribune. Mr. Burris saved a small part of his stock. The total loss was something over §4,000 as follows: I. O. O. buikliug aud outfit §2 000: 111surauce $1,100. R. A. Bnrris loss about |500 insurance $700. Tribune office $400 insurarce $200. Springer, loss $3I0 no iusurance. K. of P. loss $200 insurance $100. Rebekahs' loss about $100: no in surance. Mr. Trittipo, who by the way a very careful insurance man, was in a few minutes, able to give full information to all loosers, in regard to the amount of their insurance. He feels heavily the force of these frequent calls.

The I. O O. F. will rebuild at once. They will erect a handsome brick structure that shall be a credit to the town. It is hoped that every true Odd Fellow will co-operate in putting up a modern building and hall.

Mr. Maranville will purchase another outfit and resume his paper at once. He knows no such word as fail.

R. A. Burris wili resume business at once. Although our town has usffered severely from fires, yet it is being rebuilt by substantial brick business blocks, and everything points to the f»ct, that quick and more vigorous blood is being instilled into her very vein. The bright rays of our coming snuliaiht of prosperity, may de already seen flashing above the eastern horizon. Let in she sunshine. Let us get out of the ruts of old formality. Our business men are alive to the situation, and are infusing their enthusiasm into all with whom they come in contact. Onward and upward. Higher and higher.

A movement is on foot to make arrangements fou the heatiag oj our school rooms by means cf a furnace, placed in the basement. Good. Let there be no backward steps taken ia this matter. Crowded as our school rooms are the life of every child is being placed in peril on account of imperfect ventilation. No porent who loves his child if he thoroughly understands the situation, will for a moment oppose the measure. Our town Council and School Board are composed of men who are using every effort to serve the people in a true and careful way.

We too, can say with the young lady correspondent from McCordsville, our motto is to build up and not tear down the character of any one. If every one would net on that principle, how mnch more sunshine there would be. Yet how many crafty, jealoui, imprincipled people there are in the world who would love to see the downfall of all who try to be true virtuous and progressive, in order to bring a-plane equal to or below themselves, if such a thing could be. Again we would say to the correrpondent of that excellent community, let us ever hold np the bright side of life and leave the suarling, back biting and grumbling to others.

Rev. Lacy has a voice almost equal to a fog horn. This opinion has been formed since he took in the various streets on Fxiday night giving the alarm of fire.

A sleighing party of McCordsville young people were the guests of J. W. Jay and family ou Tuesday night. A 1 had a good time. They were formerly Mr. Jay's pupils. Come again,

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiatned condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or, imperfect' hearing, and when i) is.entirely closed, Deafness is the result, 'and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal cotdition, hearing1! will be destroyed'forever^ine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an. inflamed^conditjon of the mucous surfaces.

We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused* -by catarrh) that cannot'be cured by1 Hall's Catarrh Cure Send for circulars free.

ARIZONA'S GOLD MINE

Some of the Famous Strikes Made In and Aboat Phenix.

Some fanions gold strikes have been made at Phenix, A. T. Ou a hill which from a distance looks to be very pointed, but which is really flat topped, is the famous placer district of Rich hill. Here a few years ago some one found nuggets of gold on the very top of the rough, rugged mountain. Placer claims were staked out, and a large camp sprang up as if by magic. Pint cupfuls of rich nuggets were picked up in a day and fortunes were made. But it did not last. The deposit seemed to be local, and as it occurred on the very top of the mountain there seemed to be no ledge from which it could have come save a barren seam of glassy quartz which cropped ont at one point, writes a correspondent. The old miners theorized on the matter and came to the conclusion that the rich deposit was the debris of some great pocket of ore that had been in the ledge near by, but at a higher point, and that erosive action of past ages had worn it away, leaving the gold on the top of the hill. That was many years ago, and today a few Mexicans eke out a poor living there ou the hilltop, getting a few good nuggets occasionally and always gold dust.

Near by the Rich hill is the Weaver district, a district rich in gold a few years ago, but worked out. Eastward from these two regions arid down along the main gulch and in the side ravines of the Hassayampa is a region famed in early days more for its dauger than its richness. Westward along the base of the mighty piles of granite is a gulch cutting deeply into the mountain side, This is Fool's gulch. Recently a few belated gold hunters stumbled on a ledge there that looked good, and proceeding to develop a little they found fine ore. In a few months they soid their two claims for $40,000. A very lively camp is there now.

On the top of the mountain from which Fool's gulch issues is the Yarnell mine. It looks to be a differeut climate and different region to climb the mountain from the gulch to the Yarnell. In the valley below the characteristic flora of the arid region abounds various members of the acacia family, the creosote wood, or greasewood, several varieties of yucca and the ever present sage. On the mountain above are scrub oak, juniper, spruce, cedar and some pine. Such is the influence of altitude.

Across the valley that lies far below is the great bonanza Congress. This mine was one of Dennis May's discoveries. May dug 50 or 60 feet of shaft and ran a few levels to expose the ledge. He struck ore rich enough to pay hauling overland to Prescott, a distance of 75 miles by wagon road and then shipped to a smelter at El Paso. That demonstrated the value of the property and a buyer was soon found in the person of that enterprising and successful western capitalist, Diamond Joe Reynolds. Development was immediately begun and a 40 stamp mill constructed, with concentrators. The ore is a sulphide of iron and gold, or iron pyrites, known in the early days of placer mining as fool's gold. But today almost any mining fool knows its value, and 25 carloads a month of its concentrates now leave the Congress for an eastern smelter. The first concentrates were hauled to Prescott and shipped from there. The owners of the mine had long projected a railroad th?t should take out of the region the products of the mine and also go farther south and tap the Great Salt River valley at Phenix. Part of this line, from Ash Fork to Prescott, was constructed during Diamond Joe's lifetime. After his death the executors and others combined to finish the work, and less than a year ago the rails were laid into Phenix. Since that time the Congress mine, now owned partially by others, has been worked with a large force, and it is daily milling 100 tons of ore, while the potassium cyanide process treats an equivalent amount of the tailings or residue from the mill.

From Sidi to Sidi.

All these villages are dreary places, situated on a strip of sandy soil between the Atlantic and the chain of lakes. Beyond the lakes are plains, on which graze horses, camels, goats and sheep, tended by men who pass a life like that passed in Chaldea and Palestine by the authors of the Bible. In the distance are three sacred white domes, the tombs of saints. In Marocco every distriot has its saint's tomb, and the traveler asks his way from Sidi this to Sidi that in the selfsame way as a tramp in England steers his course from the "Chequers" to the "Bells." All round the three white tombs is a burial ground, for where a saint is buried your true believer likes to lay his bones. Women reuort to them to gossip and to pray and to implore the saint to grant them children who shall grow up horsemen and good men at spear and gun.

Something about your Moorish cemetery appeals to me. Often it is a waste of lentisks, dwarf rhododendrons and arbutus* wifh lilies and white cistus interspersed ke stars in a half cloudy night. Sel iom there is a wall, and if there is onr it is generally built of tapia (sun d'ied mud), crumbling and with many breaches in it. If there is no wall, as is most usual, the cemetery lies open to all passersby. Some of the graves, rough slabs of stone without inscriptions, stand up. Others are quite flat, and some are stuck edgeways in the ground. lamb is always grazing there, and paths in all directions cut it into patterns. It is not the place to ride across in the dark without a shiver, and yet by a sort of attraction you are sure to find yourself with a tired horse at night galloping among the graves on the outskirts of the town. There is nothing to do on such an occasion but give your horse his head, reflect that those whose graves, fou ride upon have been bold riders to man and trust in Allah.—Saturday Review. -i'lf & Sfykw' Art t, J*

If Mr. John Lawrence Sullivan has actually removed to Chicago, a classic of the American stage has been anachronized and the local society reformers of the stage should make haste to recompense us for this loss of ''The Gentleman From Boston."—Boston Journal.

In Albany a man sold his wife for 35 cents a Pittsburg woman her husband for $200 in cash and jewelry. This wid8 variation shows the usefulness of market quotations and even of the stock market. There ought to be some kind of steadiness in these transactions.—Cleveland World.

RINGS AND RING LORE.

Every Roman freeman was entitled to wear an iron ring. The finger ring was the earliest ornament adopted by man.

Greok legends declared that the mystio ring of Gyges, the king of Lydia, made the wearer invisible.

Down to the sixteenth century every physician in Europe wore a. ring as a badge of his profession.

After the battle of Canas Hannibal sent to the Carthaginian senate three bushels of gold rings, takou from the fingers of doad Roman knights.

During the reigns of the first ten Caesars no Roman citizen below the rank of knight might wear a gold ring save by permission of the emperor.

Wolsoy's seal ring is preserved in the Towor of London. It is set with a peculiar Btone, the nature of which is unknown, but which was bolieved by his enemies to possess magical properties.

In the sixteenth century diamond rings were greatly in fashion, not so much on account of their intrinsic beauty as from

__ the fact that the sharp diamond was emA goat or two or a black curly ployed for writing on glass.

At the coronation of an empress or queen the ring is considered the most essontial portion of the regalia next to the crown. At the coronation of the Empress Josephine a diamond ring was used, set with a stone worth £50,000.

Luther's wedding ring was a most elaborate affair, containing representations of all the articles used at the crucifixion. The ladder, the cross, the rope, the nails, the hammer, the spear, tho thorns, wero all shown in the circumference of this: peculiar piece of jewelry, St. Louiy
