this canal, even at cost exceeding one
hundred million dollars, and not miss the
money from its treasury; and ut tho
same time, as an investment to promote
the great interests Of the country, there
is nothing that can be compared with it.
Why the canal would be Of especial ad-
vantage..to our Pacific states and terrific
ries is apparent. We are at the back

have; and they do not want much that
We have. Even the Chinese here among

must look to Europe and to ca. tern states
Now, a. We are at the back door Of
the continent, W. need this canal to swing
US around, to face the other way. Every
Pacific coast senator and representative
ought, consequently, to do all in

A Card of Thanks.

EDITORS PICAYUNE.-On the night of Dec. l6, we were supris- ed by quite q number of our friends congregating at our house Both young and old wore happy smiles upon their welcome faces. We knew not the how to express our thanks, our hearts were over flowing with gratitude. They came to dispense happiness and we wish they could know how com pletely successful they were. The speech from w. A. Hatley did our hearts good. After half an hour spent in social converse, they left us with a well-filled purse and pantry, and our ward, robe greatly replenished. Receiv- ing such expressions of love from the people of Prescott we can only ask God to help us to be more jealous in our work for the master.
 These are treasures that shall rise
 Far beyond the smiling s<yes.

 It is pleasant to take and is not debiita- ting or disagreeabe in its effects on the pa tent, but is peculiarly sickening to the Tape Worm, which looschs it's hold of its victim and passes away in natural and easy man ner, entirely whole, with HEAD and while still alive
 One physician has used this remedy in in over 400 cases, without singl f'iilur to pa. . worm whole, with head. Absolute le- moval with head guaranteed. No pay re- uirod until so removed. Send stamp or circular and terms.
