A LIGHT IN THE YARD MRS. GALLUP RECOGNIZES IN IT HER SUMMONS TO HEAVEN. But She Falls to Get Any Information From Her Husband as to the Manner In Which She Should Act When She Haters Her Home Among the Angels. [Copyright, 1900, by C. B. Lewis.] When Mr. Gallup sat down for the evening, he had his newspaper on his knee and Mrs. Gallup was singing "Rock of Ages" and clearing away the supper table. He had been reading for a quarter of an hour when she quietly entered and sat down and said: "Samuel, I don't want to disturb you nor make you feel bad, but I feel obliged to ask you a few questions. Last night at midnight Mrs. Watkins saw a light moving around in our back yard. It was a light which bobbed up and bobbed down and dodged this way and that, and when it finally went out it gave a great wink and a splutter. It was what they call a ghost lantern, Samuel, and it meant that there would be death in this house within a week. It'll be my death, of course. I've got 27 different alliments, with heart disease thrown in, while you are as healthy as a cornfield. Yes; it'll be me, but I'm not weepin over it. I'm sittin right here as calm as catnip, but I want to know some few things." Mr. Gallup must have known of her presence, but he was too deeply interested in his paper to recognize it. He had found an article which said that a bedbug could be boiled in water for four hours and then come out with his ambition undaunted. "I shall go to heaven when I die, of course," continued Mrs. Gallup as her voice broke a little. "I orter go there. Any woman who has whitewashed the cellar every spring for 27 years, besides makin soft soap, cuttin carpet rags, dyein over old clothes and makin one corset last her for 13 years, will go to heaven on the jump. What bothers few things," said Mrs. Gallup as the silence grew painful. "I'm goin up to heaven to do the best I kin. I'll be nayburly with all the angels I meet and let 'em understand that I don't want no more'n my share of harps and wings and things. If I don't find anythin to eat or any beds to sleep on, I shan't raise no fuss nor go into hysterics, the way Mrs. Taylor did at camp meetin last year. Yes; I'll put up with things as I find 'em and make the best of it, and I won't be jealous if a few of 'em hev better clothes on or kin sing better'n me. That's how I'll act, Samuel, and then if they pick on me they'll git as good as they give. I kin be sassed and picked on jest so fur, but arter that they want to look out. Would it put you out any, Samuel, if I died at night instead of in the daytime? As I said, if I died at night I could slip into heaven without any fuss, but if it's goin to make you any extra trouble I'll perish by daylight. What will be the most convenient hour fur you?" There was deep silence. Mrs. Gallup's tears made no thud as they fell upon the carpet, and Mr. Gallup was reading with bated breath that an ostrich covers 13 feet of ground at every stride when in full flight. The clock ticked, the silence grew deeper, and the cricket on the hearth fell into a doze. Then Mr. Gallup suddenly laid aside his paper, stretched his arms and legs, with a "Ho-hum!" and looked around to find Mrs. Gallup asleep in her chair. She hadn't gone to join the angels—not yet. M.

How's it goin to be when I git up there and meet a hull pasture full of angels? There'll be millions of 'em, Samuel, and they'll all be lookin at me and wonderin who I am, and I'll be so upsot that I'll fall over my own feet." She paused to wipe the tears from her eyes with the palm of her hand, but as she had asked no direct questions Mr. Gallup finished the bug article and turned to one on the care of clotheslines. "I don't want to be looked at and p'inted out and made fun of up there," said Mrs. Gallup as she sat with her eyes on the carpet. "All night long last night I couldn't sleep for thinkin that some of the angels would turn up their noses at me and want to know what on airth I was doin there. You remember Sarah Jane Bixby, who died two years ago? Sarah was snippy and sassy. If she went to heaven, it would be jest her way to want to know why I'd come flyin up there, with my rheumatiz and back aches. I'd have to sass her back, and then what would happen? Angels do sass each other sometimes, don't they, Samuel?" If Mr. Gallup had ever given the matter a thought, he was too busy to discuss it. The statement was right before his eyes that 1,000,000 miles of clothesline went to destruction every year for want of being hung up in the wood shed when not in use, and he was reflecting on the carelessness of humanity in general. "I may git up to heaven in the night, when all the angels are asleep, and so I'll slip in all right. I hope that'll be the way, because it'll give me a chance to kind o' git used to the place before daylight. Do you think they have any breakfast up there? Mrs. Watkins says they don't, but I don't really see how they git along without it. I know I should feel a goneness all day without breakfast. And I want you to look at me, Samuel, and see if I'm the humblyest woman ever born. I have read that when we die we are changed as in the twinklin of an eye. I hope it's so. If it isn't, then I can't expect no good During the first day's ride, in which we covered no less than forty miles, the country more than justified the most favorable hopes I had entertained for it, the altitude being high, the soil rich and water plentiful. In short, the region for a distance of fifty miles back from the Pacific coast is all that could be desired for agricultural and stock-raising purposes. Beyond that point, however, on the second day of our journey, we encountered a vast stretch of the most arid and altogether desolate country conceivable. In fact, it was nothing less than a continuation of the great Colorado desert, which covers so large a portion of Southeastern California. In order to avoid traversing this barren waste we were obliged to travel in a more southerly direction from that in which we had originally set forth, which resulted in our following the lower rim of the desert until we struck the Cucapa mountains, fifty miles west of the Colorado. This range of mountains, though exceedingly rugged, is in places comparatively narrow, and availing ourselves of such a point, we were enabled to cross them with little trouble. The scenery they offered throughout is picturesque in the extreme, the variety and exquisiteness of the colorings embraced in their rugged, towering crests, rivaling the prismatic hues so prevalent in the region of the Grand canyon. A remarkable feature we encountered at the summit of the ridge was the crater of an extinct volcano, the diameter of which measured fully half a mile, and the bottom being composed of the most beautiful ochre-colored lava. But most marvelous of all the scenes we have thus far beheld was revealed to us upon gaining the eastern slope of the range. At first it seemed as if the plain before us for many miles around was enveloped in drifting clouds of mist, but a moment later the true situation dawned upon us. We were on the border of a vast field of mud volcanoes, the smoking craters of which were at times easily discernible through the hovering pall of vapor. Upon descending the side of the mountain and approaching the smouldering region for a nearer view, the atmosphere became almost suffocating, while the dark adobe plain under our feet fairly quivered with the heat. The conical shaped mounds caused by the upheaval of the plain and the continuous overflow of black molten mud were in numerous places interspersed with broad, steaming pools of earthen lava, the combined ensemble being grotesque beyond description. Upon subsequent inquiry I have ascertained that these mud springs are possessed of certain medical qualities productive of the most favorable results in the treatment of rheumatism, blood disorders and kindred complaints. Skirting the southern boundary of this strange region, we again headed eastward, and in the space of half a day reached the Colorado at a point immediately above where it empties into the Gulf of California. Whatever shortcomings might be ascribed to Tia Juana by the over-exacting stranger within her limits, conventionality is certainly not one of them. Among many resources inern California, charming always hold high place. The stretches of valleys and meadows foothills, and higher up in main ranges deep canyons, cliffs and pine-clad summits; the nothern slopes snow lays into the spring.

Nobody as knows me can call me obstinate or sot, but I'll be snummed if I propose to die and become an angel to be made fun of. You'll be on my side about that, won't you?" Mr. Gallup heaved a long sigh and seemed about to speak, but no word came. He had finished with the clothesline and struck an article about the reasoning powers of the crow, and the most direct question from Mrs. Gallup would have passed unheeded. Her tears fell for two or three minutes, and then she asked: "And how about the beds up there? You know we've slept on a feather bed ever since we was married, and I've allus bin particular to smooth it down from head to foot. I've got used to feathers, and if I changed off I'd jest lay there and kick around all night long. Do they hev beds, Samuel, or do they keep on flyin around all night long and singin "I've Reached My Home at Last?" Seems to me that flyin and singin all day would be enough unless I feel stronger than I do now. You orter know these things, Samuel, and you orter tell me so I'll know what to depend on. I might stand sass from a thousand angels, but I do want my own bed when night comes, and if one of my headaches comes on unexpectedly I want to know that I kin hev a cup of tea. Mrs. Watkins says they don't drink tea in heaven, but I don't see how she kin know." Mr. Gallup was not directly appealed to, and as he was reading that a crow had been known to feign death to avoid having a crowbar thrown at him he made no sign.

Skirting the southern boundary of this strange region, we again headed eastward, and in the space of half a day reached the Colorado at a point immediately above where it empties into the Gulf of California. Whatever shortcomings might be ascribed to Tia Juana by the over-exacting stranger within her limits, conventionality is certainly not one of them. You might explore Mexico from Sonora to Yucatan without finding another such pueblo as this anglicized outpost of her northwestern frontier. Tia Juana was, no doubt, in her day as conventional as "doby" walls and redtiled roofs could make her—but that was years ago, before the fateful night when the treacherous river near at hand arose from its hidden lair and swept her, to the last remaining habitation, into the sea. All this happened just about the time the tourist tide first set in so heavily toward the Southwest, and what with supplying the demands from the upper country curio dealers on the one hand and dispensing mescal to the thirsty vaqueros from the surrounding cattle ranges, the little community could find no time for restoring the village on its original lines. All of which explains why Tia Juana's present-day architecture is so suggestive of an Oklahoma boom town. For a distance of 50 miles or more north of its mouth the great river presents a striking contrast from its appearance a few hundred miles beyond, its course here being traced through a perfectly level and marvelously fertile country. This latter condition is accounted for by the fact that the Colorado, like the River Nile, each spring overflows its banks throughout this section, thus insuring its productivity, regardless of the drought that might prevail elsewhere in the vicinity. The lands benefited by these periodical overflows represent thousands of acres, and the excellent pasturage produced is sufficient for the sole support of immense herds of cattle. Notwithstanding these natural advantages, the locality is entirely devoid of settlers, the land representing por- For woman's guidance is fact that Dr. Pierce's Favorite cures female weakness; eases of the delicate work which darken the lives of women with suffering and sorrow; light has penetrated many chambers where women moanery, and has guided them and happiness."

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. Remarkable Growth of the Section During the Past Twenty Years. Rural Press. The section usually referred to as Southern California includes the seven southern counties of the State, namely, Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura and Santa Barbara. The area of this section is about equal to that of Pennsylvania, and nearly as large as England. The population in 1880 was 64,371, or 71 per cent of the population of the State. In 1890 it was 201,352, or 162 per cent of the population of the state. Today it is 304,211, or more than 20 per cent of the population of California. The growth of this section has, indeed, been most remarkable. One of the most noteworthy features of the development of Southern California during the past few years has been the utilization of an abundant subterranean water supply, which was not previously known to exist. It is estimated that during the past three years over 75,000 inches of water have been developed from underground sources—an amount sufficient to irrigate 500,000 acres of land. Among the many resources of Southern California, charming scenery will always hold high place. There are long stretches of valleys and measas, rolling foothills, and higher up in the mountain ranges deep canyons, precipitous cliffs and pine-clad summits, where on the northern slopes snow lingers late into the spring. Within an area of 45,000 square miles may be found a wonderful variety of scenery and climate. Along the coast line, which extends for a distance of 275 miles, it is cool in summer, with a constant breeze from the broad Pacific. At a distance of from 20 to 30 miles from the ocean the breeze loses some of its power, but there is still sufficient to temper the "He That Any Good Would Win" Should have good health.

Hood's Sarsaparilla Never Disappoints IN THE WINTER. (Benson's Plaster Is Pain's Master.) For coughs and colds Benson's Porous Plasters are an incomparably better remedy than any other—external or internal. Their medicinal properties enter the skin and go straight to the seat of the disease. They relieve and cure a "seated" cold without disturbing the system or upsetting the stomach. Cough mixtures often nauseate. Benson's Plasters are medicinal in the highest degree, and quickest to act. Placed on the chest or back or on both at once in serious cases, the good effect is felt immediately. The congestion yields the cough abates and the breathing improves. Lung or bronchial affections or kidney disease, are cured with the least possible suffering and loss of time. Benson's Plasters are immeasurably superior to Belladonna, Strengthening, Capicum or any other combination in plaster form. They are also preferable to ointments, liniments and salves. Benson's Plasters have received fifty-five highest awards over all competitors; and more than 5,000 physicians and druggists have declared them to be one of the few trustworthy household remedies.

The difference between the former schedule of fees and the present one is so great, that upon receiving the Esperanza company's papers, County Clerk Phelps considered it his duty to hold them and inform the company concerning the requirements of the new law before proceeding to make the filing as requested. Under the old law it would have cost $2 to record the document, but under the new one the promoters will be out of pocket to the extent of about $100.

The population of Oklahoma, which was organized as a Territory in May, 1900, is 398,245 by the last census. This is a larger population than that of Delaware, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Utah, Vermont or Wyoming. Oklahoma is made up of territory cut off from the Indian Territory. It had in 1890 a population of 61,834. The gain since then has been 240,000, a phenomenal increase, even for an American Territory, of nearly 400 per cent. Oklahoma is now the most populous of the American Territories, and has twice the population of New Mexico, organized in 1850; three times the population of Arizona, organized in 1863, and 100,000 more inhabitants than the District of Columbia. The agitation for the admission of Oklahoma as a State was stimulated by the January convention at Guthrie. It is favored by the circumstance that in politics Oklahoma is republican, by nearly 5,000, that it is progressive in its material development, and that it has a very large citizen voting population amounting to nearly 75,000 in November last. At that same election Nevada had 10,000 votes, South Carolina 50,000, North Dakota 58,000, Mississippi 59,-000, Florida 38,600, Delaware 41,000, Rhode Island 56,600, Wyoming 25,500, Vermont 56,600, Montana 63,000 and Louisiana 69,900. It is further urged in favor of the admission of Oklahoma as a State by the next Congress that unlike New Mexico it has no considerable alien or Indian population made up of those who speak Spanish and who have little in common with the people of the United States, their usages and form of government. Oklahoma is a very fertile section of country and its products are such as to make it certain that there will be a large immigration in the future. Last year the Territory had a wheat product of 16,000,000 bushels, raised 10,000,000 bushels of corn, and produced also cotton, flax, sorghum and fruits. Unlike some of the new States in the Northwest, Idaho conspicuously, the typographical features of Oklahoma are favorable to railroad building and to the extension of tributary lines of communication. In 1880 there were only 289 miles of railroad in the Indian Territory and Oklahoma together; now there are 1,300 miles of rail in the Indian Territory and 754 in Oklahoma,and railroad building is going on actively in both. For these various reasons the phenomenal increase in population in Oklahoma during the past ten years is looked upon as only a fair indication of its future increase. It is expected to exceed 500,000 before 1995. The obstacles to the admission of Oklahoma as a state are its comparatively recent organization as a territory,and the fact that similar recognition would in all probability be sought by the Indian Territory which, by the last census,had a total population of 391,000,nearly as large as that of Oklahoma.

That ray of light has penetrated many darkened chambers where women moaned in misery, and has guided them out to health and happiness. "Favorite Prescription" is not a tonic, not a palliative, but a positive cure for the diseases which are peculiar to women. It gives vigor and vitality. It banishes nervousness, headache, and all the aches which come from a diseased condition of the womanly organs. A temperance medicine, it contains neither alcohol nor narcotics. "I was troubled for three years with ulceration and female weakness and my doctor gave me but little relief," writes Mrs. Lulu Hunter, of Allenton, St. Louis Co., Mo. "I saw an advertisement in the paper of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I began the use of it about a year ago. I took five bottles of it, and one bottle of 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and my health is better now than it was for years. I have also recommended these medicines to some of my friends, who suffered from female weakness, and good results have followed." Forty Dollars a Minute. By the Standard Oil Company declaring a dividend of 20 per cent in New York the other day, $6,200,000 was added to the wealth of John D. Rockefeller. Since March 1, 1900, 68 per cent of dividends have been declared, including that here referred to. Thus within a period of one year and fifteen days the Standard Oil company has distributed among its stockholders an aggregate of $68,000,000. Of this sum Rockefeller's share was $21,080,000. His daily income of these holdings was therefore $55,000, or about $40 a minute. So astonishing has Rockefeller's cash been piling up that it is said the stock market is completely at his mercy. No combination in Wall street is able to cope with him, or defeat his plans. He can force stocks upon down, just as he pleases. Rockefeller is personally known to but few of the big operators, but his power is felt every day, and to the uninitiated his is a mysterious force.

Schwab, president of the great steel combine, will be paid $1,000,000 a year instead of $800,000, is true. The figures were given authoritatively by one of the members of the steel combination who helped effect the settlement between the rival companies. Hardly less extraordinary than the salary, the largest paid any man in the business world today, is the unanimity of approval with which the officers and directors in the different companies in the steel combination regard it. When the matter was under discussion on February 24 at the Waldorf-Astoria, an objecting voice was answered by an officer of the National Tube company, in which J. Pierpout Morgan was largely interested. "Mr. Schwab will earn every cent of it for the corporation," he said. "The amount sounds large, and is large, but the price paid for anything is but relative, and if you can buy several millions for one million you are getting them cheap. "By his special knowledge of the business and his acquaintance with the enterprise Mr. Schwab will save for us at least $5,000,000 a year in the consolidation of the officers and reduction of working expenses." The opposition was silenced, and it was agreed that the speaker had voiced the general sentiment. Mr. Schwab's contract with the corporation is for five years. The exact terms and the limitations of his authority have not been made public. Business man—What is your name, sir? Applicant—Thomas J. J. J. Jones. "What does the J. J. J. stand for?" Nothing.

T.), March 15.—For a long time mountain lions, bears and wolves have been raiding the stock on the big cattle ranch of Colin Campbell in Cochise county. With 10,000 cattle on the range, the heavy losses in calves and yearlings, dragged down by the ravages of the wild animals, has cut down the dividends of the stock company which owns the range. Last week Charley Montgomery, famous all over Arizona as a hunter, and who was chief of scouts under General Crook during the trouble with the Apaches, was engaged to exterminate the animals which have been raiding the herds. Montgomery at once engaged a hundred men of the Pima tribe and last Saturday held a big round-up of the "varmints." Early in the morning his Indians and a score of cowboys surrounded a district five miles square in the foothills of the Chiricahua range and gradually closed in toward the center, with 200 dogs in the rodeo. As they reached the center of the circle catamounts, black bears, coyotes and an occasional grizzly bear tried to break through the line, but were met by a shower of bullets. Dozens of animals perished in the attempt to escape, but 200 others were finally cornered in a box canyon, while redskins and cow-punchers picked them off from the rocks above. There were scores of close conflicts with the enraged and frightened brutes and in one melee four Indians were fearfully mangled by a grizzly before their shots finally finished the bear. One of the reds, Antonio Hermo, a former chief of the tribe, received fatal wounds from the claws of a big fellow. The dogs closed in on the victims and dozens of them were killed before the slaughter was complete. The final count showed nineteen dead mountain lions, five grizzlies, two lynxes and over a hundred coyotes—doubtless the biggest round-up of wild animals that ever occurred in Arizona.

NUTT BILL VETOED. Governor Gage has vetoed Senator Nutt's bill providing for the dissolution of irrigation districts. In his disapproval of the bill, the Governor says that while a law seems to be needed to relieve the electors of irrigation districts of many harrassing conditions, he cannot ignore the many important rights and interests of the creditors as well as those of the electors. The bill is obscurely worded, in the opinion of the governor, and its approval would result in much complicated litigation. The further objection is made that some parts of the bill are invalid by reason of their plain violation of constitutional provisions. A Horrible Outbreak.

Washington, March 16.—The census office has received through the state department a consular report on the population of the German empire and its changes during the last century. That population is now about 56,000,000 larger than that of any country in Europe except Russia, which has in Europe alone over 106,000,000 subjects. Since 1871, when the modern German empire was organized, the population of Germany has increased about 35 per cent, a growth extremely rapid for an old country and for one sending out large and steady streams of emigrants. The Germans feel a natural pride in the rapid growth of their population, says the report, compared with that of their rival across the Rhine. In 1845 France had about 36,000,000 inhabitants and Germany 34,000,000. Now France has about 38,000,000, or only two-thirds the number of Germany. Night was Her Terror.

For sale by P. A. Derge. Orange Market Bad. New York, March 14.—The Journal of Commerce says: The market for California's citrus fruits—especially oranges—is at the moment in an almost demoralized condition. Within the last two days no less than 132 full carloads have been sold at auction and it is doubtful whether the entire amount realized is sufficient to more than pay freight charges from California, to say nothing of returns to growers and to packers and of commissions for handling the fruit here. The freight rate from California on a box of oranges is 90 cents, and some boxes have sold as low as 35 cents. The reason for the demoralization is heavy receipts, which have come all at once, and which have more than filled the current demand. In addition to the large receipts is the fact that some of the oranges are in exceptionally poor and soft condition—in many cases amounting to absolute rottenness. It is claimed that the fruit could not be promptly shipped from California on account of the difficulty in obtaining cars there. Germs of Disease should be promptly expelled from the blood.
