The History of Football.


 The game of football was known in England prior to l175, but it was never regarded with favor by the law, and in the reign of Edward III Q365) an act was passed forbidding it. During the reign of Richard II (1388) similar law was enacted, and again under the Scotch kings, James Q424) and II (1457), it was "decreeted and ordained that the footballe and golfe be utterly cryed down and not to be used." In l471 James III and in 1491 James " passed similar statutes. James l of England also opposed it in his "Basilikon Doron. '" He writes: "From this court debarre all rough and violent exercises, as the football, meeter for lameing than making able the users thereof" And in the
 reign of Elizabeth, his predecessor, a true bill was found against sixteen persons for playing the unlawful game.

JUDGING from the vastly increased fruit crop now being gathered in the orchards of the valley, and the gratify- ing improvement in quality presented over other years, it is safe to say that the time has arrived tor the establish ment of first-class cannery in Phoenix. A fruit dryer, where apricots and peaches might be evaporated and packed into marketable shape, would be also a profitable business enterprise at the present time.

Yesterday afternoon word was re- ceived from Tempe that the furniture warehouse of Ross & Goldman was totally destroyed by fire about noon.

NEW FEVER REMEDY.
Antipyrin Succeeded by Antikamnia.
 Which is Said to Be Harmless.

Which Is Said to Be Harmless.
 (st. Louis Globe Democrat
 The opposition which began in Europe to antipyrin, as dangerous agent for the reduction of fever and the abate- ment of pain, has been the indirect cause of the introduction of new rem edy of the same class and the same gen. eral origin. It is called antikamnia, which means Opposed to pain," and is product of coal tar as is antipyrin. The new medicine is certain remedy for headache, neuralgia, locomotor ataxia, sciatica, and in fact for all pains that can be reached by medicine taken into the stomach and diffused into the blood. Antikamnia does not excite the heart, nor does it's use grow into habit, as it contains neither opium, cocaine nor any other dangerous drug or chem ical. It does not produce gastric dis turbances,
