That we may keep up with the
procession Arizona has had two rail
road holdups in the lust ten days, with
exciting and interesting incidents.
Fii b;inlt was the scene of the first,
Friday uight the 16th, and there was
shooting and sereaming and fleeing of
frightened horses and people. J. D.
Milton the express agent, bravely held
the fort, shooting one of the vronld be
traiu-robbers and causing a retreat of
the others. Unfortunately the brave
messenger was himself wounded and it
is feared he will lose tn arm as the
result. Oiia of the robbers was found
Saturday in an almost dying condition
at Sycamore springs, nine miles from
Tombstone, where he had been
abandoned by his comrades. He was
taken to Tombstone and is now in the
hospital there, with but faint cliauce
of life. Two more of the bandits have
been captured since 'and are in the
Tombstone jail. Another attempted
holdup occurred at Rii R)ok the
evening before-the one at Fairbank.
One of the fist freight trains of the
S. P. was stopped by tramps, and
the train men wer-e used as targets by
them, the crew . being unarmed.
They say it was a most exciting
experience for them for a little
while, but the train pulled out at last,
and no lives lost. Even living where
there is a railroad may have its disadvantages.
Florence made its display of patriot
ism on Washington's birthday by the
"unfurling of flags and placing of
bunting in red, white and blue on a

Mary has about recovered from her
late illness. Miss Annie Kibbey, of
Phoenix, accompanied them home.
Hazard's Pavillion, Los Angeles,
where the industrial, citrus and Min
ing Exposition is being held, must
present a strikingly beautiful scene;
1500 woodwardie ferns were gathered
in the mountains back of Pomona and
used for decorations. Those ferns are
from two and one-half to five feet in
length and after having been pressed,
remain green for a long time. These
in addition to other decorations and
over COO Incandescent lights makes a
most attractive setting for the exhibits.

Label the specimens with same of
mine, district, territory and owners.
The exposition is attracting much at
tention and here is an opportunity for
oor mine owners to advertise their
properties in a most desirable and
profitable way.
Candy Diet is s Good Thing for the Soldiers.
From the Lo Angeles Times.;
Nkw Yobs, Vth. 10. A good many
people found amusement in tin an
nouncement in the English papers
that the Queen had presented a box
of chocolate to each of the soldiers in
South Africa. Others, however, who
are aware of the feeding properties of
suirar, saw in the present a very
sensibie provisio'a for the sustenance
of soldiers. The nutritive value of
sugar has been sa far recognized by
the United States government that
candy hus been added to the rations
of the American soldier. Noc less
than Hfty tons of confectionary have
been sent to the troops in the Philip
pines, Cuba and Puerto Kico. Choco
late creams, cocoanut drops, lemon
drops and acidulated drops are the
most in favor. These are sealed in
one pound cans of an oval shape to fit
the poekets of a soldier's uniform.
The Germans, after many tests to dis
cover the value of sugar in promoting
the endurance of soldiers, are making
regular issues of chocolate and other
candies to the German army. Med
ical men says that jam is one of the
best foods that a soldier can have and
large quantities of it are now included
in the food provisions for military
campaigns.
The Colonial social, given by the
Endeavor Society last evening at the
parsonage, was a decided success, both
in attendance and the pleasure af
forded. There were a number of
colonial costumes, and it was a sur
prise to many to find Florence had so
many interesting relics of the past as
were shown. There were samplers,
portraits, jewelry, shawls and ancient
gouus displayed that would have done
credit to a much larger town. It was a
pleasant evening for all whoatteuded,
and the society was pleased to kaow
thev had earned fifteen dollars.
Mr. Sheldon's paper of one week,
the Topcka Capital, will undoubtedly
be well read in Florence. The pub
lishers made a proposition to all
Christian Endeavor Societies to solicit
subscribers, and the Society here think
ing well of it, through the efforts of
Miss Eosa Lewis, l.ave a list of some
thirty subscribers. H will be well
worth reading and many who would
not have taken the trouble to send for
it, will receive and read it, thanks to
the Endeavorers.
The ladies of the Catholic Church set
a most excellent supper last Thursday
-evening which the public enjoyed very
much. This was proved by the patron
age received, as the net proceeds of the
-affair were $06.60.
Onr Casa Grande neighbors indulged
In a very pleasant social on valentine
eve, and with the selling of refresh
tnents and valentines netted the neat
sum of $18 which will be nsed to
purchase a chandelier for the church
at that place.
The tienda of Simon Angu'.o & Co.
is a very lively place these days, with
new goods arriving, customers buying
'and improvements going on. A parti
tion has been pulled down and thus
given a much larger room for their
stock and this is being fitted and
finished in good style by the firm.
The Florence Social Club met and
organized at Mrs. A. F. Barker's last
Friday evening. A very enjoyable
time was spent at music and cards.
The membership is not limited and
new members will always be welcome.
The next meeting will be held at the
home of Mrs. W. C. Truman, on Thurs
day evening, March 1st.
Little Marshall Brock way met with
an experience Wednesday evening that
might have had most serious results. A
large dog sprang upon the little fellow
and tore the elothing from his chest,
inflicting a slight wound. Aside from
the nervous shock of the fright the
hurt is not very great, but Marshall
is to be congratulated upon-his escape.
The Degree of the Ladies of Honor
is taking on new life and activity with
Mrs. Anna Lannigan in the chair of
the chief official. The attendence is
increasing and new members are being
added. Last night the lodge, initiating
five more persona into- the mysteries of
their order, received Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Weedin, Mr. and Mrs. Gabriel
Aogulo and Master Ira Peyton.
M. J. Hartley has recently opened
an establishment at 65 East Congress
street, Tucson, where hats and clothes
are cleaned by the new dry process to
look like new. A specialty is made of
men s tine bats and ladies' silk waists
and dresses. The Tribune takes pleasure-
in recommending Mr; Hartley's
work as something superior to any
thing heretofore done in the territory
and equal to anything procurable
abroad..
Joe Mulhatton believes he has at
last discovered the Lost Dutchman
mine, some ten miles south of the
Ripsey. While hunting mountain sheep
recently he discovered one of these
rare animals standing upon a huge
boulder lying isolated on t!ie plain.
Putting his trusty rifle to his shoulder
he drew a bead on the sheep and shot
bim down, the animal disappearing at
the same time. Dismounting from his
faithful horse, he found it impossible
to scale the walls of the rock, which
stood some twenty feet high on all
sides. With his riata Joe managed to
attach the loop over a projecting ledge,
and hand over hand he mounted the
boulder. What was his astonishmeut
to discover the opening of a deep shiift
some four feet square, and that his
60-foot riata would not begin to reach
the bottom. Mr. Mulhatton came to
town and reported his wonderful dis
covery and leaves to-day with ropes
and windless to explore the mystery.
The only thing that bothers Joe is
how that sheep got on top of the rock,
but he has promised to find out and re
port the result to the Thibuxe.

Our former follow-townsman, C. L,
Whitney, died Friday moing, Febru
ary 16th, at his home near .Mesa.
Word had come to Florence some days
before of his condition and his daugh
ter, Mrs. Wright of this place, and her
family were at his bedside, with the
wife and mother. Mr. Whitney bad
been a resident of Pinal county for
many years, and left the record be
hind him of an honest, honorable man,
having many to speak well of him.
Among the guests at an "Attic"
party given l ist week by Mr. and Mrs.
W. A. Kimball, of Mesa, were noticed
from Washington, D. C, the names of
Messrs. Fred. Appleby and Geo.
Hunter. Both pleasant young fellows
were counted among Florence citizens
for gome time, wtiio the government
work was going on at the Buttes.
T. F. Brodsick, sheriff of Santa Cruz
county, arrived in the city this morn
ing bringing M. 11. Jones who was
committed to the asylum. This is the
fourth inmate brought from the new.
county. Mr. Jones is a son-in-law of
Geo. Christ, lie has led an active life
and rcceutlv patented a ra lroad ticket
case. It is thought that the concentra
tion of his mind on one subject of
patent, may have thrown him oil bis
balance. A short time ago Mr. Jones
shot one of his best friends at Diii
quesne. When brought to. Nogales for,
trial he was bound over. Then it was
noticed his brain had softened and ha
had forgotten the names of his best
friends. Phoenix Enterprise.

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hull's Catarrh
Cure is taken'iDternally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surface
of the system,, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patieut strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that tbey offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it falls to cure.
