Uobinson said he would go a tln.it distance from tlC camp, leaving tJook ami the ladies behind, and then gi v his enemies n chance to take him. lie diil so, and on reaching a convenient upot both parties opened fire, with the reidt that four Woodsdale men were killed. '1 he other two fled to the strip, and Uobinson escaped without a scratch. Cook hastened to Hugotown and nave he n! .nil, and soon an armed sipiad went to their assistance. Meeting a lot of Woodsdale men an encounter took place, in which three more persons were Killed and a number wounded. Accor ding to he iiilorinaiion the whole coun try is at war.

Mr. Allen Becson, who took a trip to Alabama a few weeks ago in the interests fit' an Iowa capitalist, has returned home. ;;in. e his departure he has traveled ex tensively in the south and speaks in the highest terms of the country and the agreeable climate. lie says he has re turn! d to a warmer climate by coining here. n Miutgouiery die thermometer ieaohed It) I one day last week and the papers of that city made the assertion that decree had been unprecedented In the history of the place. Mont gomery is a city of about 40,000 and has six railroads running into it. They have the best water privileges, the city being suplied with about six artesian wells of about four hundred feet in depth, and around that vicinity fine, streams run over the land, fed by springs. All kinds of fruits, such as peaches, pears, lis, pomme-granite, and oranges grow ia great abundance. The best land can be bought in that countryfor not more than $10 per acre and the Southerners offer ever' encour agement to northern capitalists who will go in among them. They are not am bitious people and care little about work ing at all. The soil with what little cul tivation it receives, at their hands, which 5 yery little, yields an average of about 4 bushels of corn to'theacre. Plows they use do not cut much more than an inch deep and grain is allowed to grow with but little cultivation. Their corn is planted in February. Mr. Beeson says n better opening for an- young man could be found than there, as all young men have been moving west, and the country is filled up with them, but it is not so in the south. Everything is more suitable and the climate is as good, if not better. The best timber land in the country, yel I jw pine, can be purchased for l:2o per acre. The plations are divided into large tracts of not less than 700 acres and some several times as large. Mr. Johnson the Io ,va capitalist, has purchased 4,oG0 acres there, for which Mr. Becson was employed to go and examine the title. He is making arrangements with the "Wa bash railroad to run an excursion there this summer, the fare to be at the rate of one cent per mile. Mr. B. visited Xew Orleans, Nashville and other southern cities during his stay. About six o'clock this morning some say a few; minutes before, and oth ers a few minutes after Tucson exper ienced a sh..Tp earthquake. It was of but momentary duration, but it shook things up lively while it was about it. The motion seemed to be from south to north. Some people ran out of their houses, and others were too bewildered to get out. In Mrs. Driscoll's house on south Meyer street, it shook the plaster down and frightened the inmates into the streets. In the Welisch block it had the appearance of something giving the building three or four sharp jerks, while at the same time it seemed as if some one was jumping on the roof overhead. At Mr. Mansfeld's house on Stone avenue, the same noise that accompanied the big earthquake of a couple of years back, was pl iinly heard. The inmates of the Fashion saloon in the Pearson olock lost no time in getting out, but the shaking up was generally felt, and everybody lias experiences to relate. Arizona Citizen of July 24.

Bishop Calloway is looking after the cause of prohibition ( ?) and in order to save Johny the trouble of getting out his shot gun, to carry the state for drover, the bishop has corraled Uio prohjl; conven tion for Cj rover Cleveland. Without passing in judgment upon the motjveuof the prohibition leaders, the Mississippi episode, so far as the democratic wing of the prohibition movement is concerned, certainly gives color to the. charge made against the leaders of that party in iHHt, viz: that the movement ias in the hands of men who were under the control of the managers of the national democratic party.

The electoral vote of that state would be counted for Grovcr Cleveland any way; the singular action simply illustrated the fact now admitted 'on all hands" that the solid south will uot tolerate any movement which, even in a remote degree, impends its regained supremacy in National affairs.

Moral Courage of the True riiysic-Jan A Hero Men AVho Know Themselves The Cuoil Hearted Fellow Who "WIJ1 Give Ills liht Dollar." i somewhat extended exiiericnce with men, and au occasional woman, convinces mo that thorn is as great a difference iu the rm-tliods of rKd men who desiro to help ineir leiiows as mere is In-tween them and had men who strive constantly to hurt their brothers and Meters. Every man has UU own way. It is fo.ly for writers in tho i.ress J for ministers in the puli.it, fur public teaeh- eis in any rorum whatever, to insist upon it mat ineir way is the only way.

' -I...! k . lUaiir-"., ley OM'I IKtlllljj engines, it. is ty too quality and quantity of effect pro duced, not the manner in which the work is done, men must bo judged. I look at doctors with wonder and awe. In my judgment a doctor needs, first of ull, moral courage. It requires no very great degree of pbysieial courage to stand before a aian whoso inflamed eye betokens the rago t. hut roars within him, beeausc, being a man, you naturally have no fear for another man physically. The ;.suo of tho fight must to one of t wo ways. You whip 1dm or he whips you, and, of course, you are prepared to take the chance. But to go into u sick room, where, in tlio first place, your senses are of fended, you see unpleasant pictures, you hoir discordant sounds, above all you detect of fensive t-dj-:s. .oil are brounht in niiitrn with a condition of things ubuormal, from which you naturally turn as from any other nuisance that required moral courage. That of itself would determine n;e. I could livi more endure the close tonf'iiit.iiiciits cf a sick chamber, with its ncvcsaivy annoyance to every sense, and most especially to the sensi tive nerves of tho na-sul organ, than I could draw a weight of 10,000 pounds along a dusty highway. But that is not alL Ce it smallpox, diph theritic soro throat, yellow fever, any one of a score of contagious diu' r.sc-y, ii .j Uoet '.r must bo so uuuui k-s in tho altitudes of Lis moral courage that he not only feels no fear, but is absolutelyj-egnnnt v ith joy at an op portunity to wrestle with a foemau wort hy of his pills. A true physician is a. yeritalTo here, ' ;' - I hayfe c.-iiio to the conclusion Uat intelli gent men do k ho v thcjUSejYOS, VYifc it is to, :;mgi!it fu anient that a well iuiud doesn't fully, accurately, ab solutely estimate himself. Could you con vince Bismarck, as he sits in the calm seclu sion of his innermost study, smoking the fra grant pipo of happy rellection, that he has not been a successful diplomat? You're a merchant. Continuity of en deavor has brought you, step by step, from tho humility of an office sweeping $2 a week lad to tho proud pre-eminence of a merchant prince, with au income, net, of $1,000,000 a year. Your credit stands regal in the marts of commerce, your name is a synonym for 6olidity throughout tho world of trade and dicker. Could anybody convince you that you are a failure? Don't you know, as you look at your bald head and wriukled face and shriveled neck iu the too faithful mirror that, though you are decaying physically, -ou are a superb success along the line of mercantile endeavor and commercial enterprise? Of coarse, you know yourself. And pre cisely as ou, a success, know yourself to 09 a success, so you, a lizzie, know yourself to be a lizzie. Every man is a type. Why it i a fact that we are all, in certain lines, unique, peculiar, individual, it ia equally a fact that wo all represent great bodies of similarly organized, identically developed men or wo men, here, there and everywhere. Some people say, "Oh, he's a good hearted fellow, he will give his last dollar." Well, yes, but is it a good heart that gives its last dollar, but would hesitate, even if he didn't refuse to give literal, personal, indi vidual, hand to hand, heart to heart, body to body comforts? Recurring to tho doctor thought a moment, I don't believe it would be a physical possibility for mo, who have pretty good control of my physical organs at that, to make a practice of visiting hospitals, of coming into personal contact with disease, of upsetting my stomach by annoying my nose. It is one thing to draw a check ami send it by mail or messenger; it is another thing to go about doing good, visiting the sick, helping the friendless, uplifting tho be reaved, attending to the literal, physical necessities of poor, dirty (levels in the very gutters of humanity. Talk about giving money as an evidence of generosity. That's all nonsense. It all depends upon circumstances. "What sort of generosity is it when you have 100 in -our pocket and somebody comes along c sking jou for live or ten, that you give it, without re gard to anything under heavens except the particular 100 you have in your pocket ? That f 100 may belong to some creditor. You may owe that money to some man to whom its payment would be a positive relief. You don't think of equities, you don't care the turn of your hand for your creditor; you let Browne walk all over creation rather than deprive yourself of a moment's comfort, peace, happiness, luxury; yet because you give- hvo or ten dollars to some poor devil who happens to want it, you are credited the world around as being a generous hearted, free handed man, who would give his last dollar to help a creature iu distress. Y ou buy a paper of a newsboy. Y"ou hand him a, dime. Rather than be bothered to wait for the change, or to havo his dirty little fists pawing over a handful of coin to find the change, you say, "Oh, keep it. Never mind that." "Why do you say iti Are you touched with pity for tho boy's necessities? Is it the logical sequence of any careful thought, estimate, judgment of the little chap Do you even go so far as to think that it would please the boy? Not a bit of it. It is, nine times out of ten, an inchoate desire, an unthought of impulse to be rid of the annoyance of the boy and toe unpleas antness of his dirt; yet some benevolent old lady, looking over her spectacles and her stomach, seeing -ou let the little boy go off with live or six cents more than belong to him, smiles all over with cherubic gleam, and tells her family, whom she joins in hum ble home that evening, about "tho generous man who gave five cents to a little newsboy."

I'reserve the (Jovcrimient f.:uim::rks. There is surprising reckic -sness regard ing the preservation of monumeul; erected ov tr.e government survevors throughout the northwest. The surveyor of Brown, county. Dakota, gives this timely warning in a local paper: I notice a lamentable want of care- of the government corners among the farmers and landowners of the country. Where stakes existed they are rotted off. often pulled out and used for firewood; the mounds arc erased by cattle or travel. I the pits. are filled up and obliterated, and soon, if not already, 110 certain evidence will remain of their exact location. Now I need r.ot enlarge on the very great import ance of preserving thse points to mark 011 boundary lines. Residents from the east can recall any amount of trouble arising from tome "lost corner," doubts, disputes, litigation and perchance a big surveyor's bill. Therefore, let every one of these corners receive the prompt at tention necessary to make it doiiiuie and permanent. Since c-ach corner has an individuality of its own, owing to the marked irregularities of the government surveys, it is a mistake to think that ;i lost corner may readily be restored by measurements from adjacent corners.

Tho ono ail important requisite for a suc cessful jockey is to ke. ; a cool head and to ossess an unerring judgment, for if he loses one and fails of having tho ot her at a critical moment, ho will never overcome the many obstacles that meet him with every turn of tho track, and never win a raeo unless ho is mounted upon a horse, that will carry him through ia spite of himself. Thero is ns much strategy and finesse to he exercised ou the race course as on the battleiield. One must know his enemy thoroughly, and must be alive to take instant advantage of an' errors his opponents may make. lie must endeavor to make his rivals use up all their strength before the critical moment comes, ami must reserve for himself suflieient force to carry him safely through the final struggle. A KNACK OF RIDING. But above all, he should ho very intimately acquainted with the capabilities of his own horse, and must bo thoroughly conversant with all its points of weakness, ns well as its elements of strength, for tho former may often bs taken advantage of if they are not known to his opponents. There is a certain knack of riding which it is diflieult to ex plain, but which has a substantial existence just tho same, that enables one to almost lift his horse along, especially in passing under the wire, when a fortunsdo leap will carry you to tho front by even a nose. Many ri lucky win of mine has been made in this way, noticeably in the recent race where Tea Tray and Tristan were at the fore, and Tristan won by so small a fraction that it is said that no one on tho track saw the true result, excepting the judges. In that race, which was one of the most exciting iu which I have ever been engaged, I was able to lift Tristan almost by main strength, when I felt that I had surely lost, just enough to win. Tho sensations which a jockey experiences in speeding around the track are many and varied, and there is always the utmost ex hilaration of mind, and every muscle of his body is drawn to a tension approaching the breaking point. He has little time to view the landscape within tho inclosure, or to see the mad crowd that is cheering him on from the grand stand, or at the fences close by the track, even if his eyes are not blinded by the showers of n;ud or the clouds of dust with which the enemy in front delight to greet him. But he knows instinctively that the landscape and the crowd are there, and he hears tho cheers of the mob faintly above the clattering of the horses' hoofs. These are quiet and subdued sounds at the start, which are completely lost tho moment the first turn is made, and then they cease altogether until the homestreteh is gained, when the noise grows gradually loader, but seldom becomes a good sized one for the jockey's ears. It is whe:i the race is over and the victory is won that the jockey remembers all ho has pas.-ed through. The nervous exhaustion occasioned j by a record breaking mile is excessive, but a bath and rub down soon puts the jockey in healthy trim for the nest race. William Hayward in Inter Ocean.
