The old idea of 40 Ssars ago was that facial

which they gave potash. Thus all the old Sarss-
paEiIas contain potash, most Objectionable and
drastic mineral, that instead of DECREASING,
actually creates more eruptions. You have no
ticed this when taking other sarsaparilias than
Joys. 1t is however now known that the ston-
ach, tho blood creating power is the seat of all
vi.iating or cleansing operations. A stomach
elogged by indigestion or constipation, vitiates
the blood. result pimples. A clean stomach and
kealthful digestion puriles it and they disappear
Thus Joys Vegetable sarsapariila is ompounded
after the modern idea to regulate the bowels and
stimulate the digestion. The eject is immediate
and most satisfactory. A short testimonial to

VALUATION OF TAxABLEPRor
ERTY AND INDEBTEDNESS
OF THE TERRITORY.

In view of tie inquiry and desire for
information on this important subject
the Herald prevailed upon the COVER
nor to consent to the publication Of the
following reliable statistics from cd
canoe sheets Of his annual report to the
secretary Of the Interior:
According to the report of the Terri
torial Board of Equalization the terri
tory has the following taxable property:
Arizona weekly citizen., 1891-10-03
VALUATION BY COUNTIES.

FINANCIAL CONDITION OF TERRITORY.
The following official statements show
the bonded and floating indebtedness
of the territory, life of the bonds,
amount of annual interest, and rate of
interest on bends and warrants, also the
county and municipal Indebtedness, val
uation Of property, rate of taxation, etc.
TERRITORIAL BONDED AND FLOATING
Arizona weekly citizen., 1891-10-03

The valuation Of improvements and
other property is correspondiDgly low.
The rate of taxation varies in the diff
ferent counties, but the average rate in
the territory for all purposes is % on
the 500. The totil assessed valuation
of the taxable property in the territory
as given above is S28,27O,4e6 IS. There
is unquestionably s7O,OOO,0O0 of taxable
property in the territory.
Arizona weekly citizen., 1891-10-03

The average rate OF taxation through
out the territory for all purposes is 50 2S.
Seventy-one cents Of this tax is applied
for territorial purposes, and is sufficien:
to defrsy the expenses of government,
pay interest and provide for proper re-
demptions. 1t Is also believed that a
sufficient tax levy is not made in the
different counties-the reason for this,
however, as.stated by responsible parties,
is that the increase OF property and
values in this territory will Don provide
for payment of the indebtedness and
maintenance of the government without
increase of taxation.
The total Indebtedness of the territory,
counties and municipalities, is reliably
stated as follows:
Territory, bonded and fOstins------s Ss5,2s! $
Cities - Ie2 $50 10
Interest on county and city aebt
(approximst-d Bfter 81 owing
for periodical rsdenption) - 1s1,127 co
1891 00g7
The territorial Indebtedness as above
amounts 10 about u per cent. of the
property valuation, or a trifie over $50
per capita of our people according to the
census. This would not be the fact if
the property were properly assessed; to
the contrary with property valuation
Of S7C,000,0O0, to which we are entitled,
our debt would be nconsiderable.-Phe

OBI7 UARY,

1t is with sadness that we record
the death of Gala Lessig, wife of G. B.
Stone, and daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
]. NJ. Lessig, of Rudolph, Wis, after an
illness of many years, which was borne
with fortitude and resignation. Mrs.
Stone was born in Sailorsburg. Pa, in
Aug. 1856, but removed in early child
hood with her parents to Wisconsin
which has since been her home
She was married to Mr. c. B. Stone in
August, 1882, and shortly afterwards
became an invalid. About a year ago,
in company with her husband, she went
to Pennsylvania in the hope that her
health might be improved, which hope
proved futile, and her death occurred in
Philadelphia on Nov. 22nd, 1891. She
was unconscious toward the last, but
came to herself long enough to recognize
those about her, and with a smile
repeated Jesus, lover of my soul, -
then passed from death unto life. At
her own request she was buried at her
old home in Sailorsburg, Pa.
Gala endeared herself to her MANY
friends. by her cheerful and pleasant
disposition, and will be missed by all
who knew her, but though we mourn
for her, we realize that our loss is her
eternal gain.

CRANBERRY SUIT.

A demurrer to complaint in the suit
of Russell Case against A. B. Jones,
Fred Hoffman, Frank Stanley, and
others, was argued before Judge New
man at the court house last Saturday.
Harper & Roe, of Madison, appearing
as council for the plaintiff, and Messrs.
Hall, of Madison, Geo. Graham, of
Tomah, and Gardner, of Grand Rapids,
for defendants. 1t is Jackson county
case, the plaintiff seeking to receive for
damages to his cranberry lands by the
diverting of the current of ditch which
was originally dug fol the Tomah
iumberman,S Goodyear, who formerly
owned the lands. The ditch became a
permanent stream, and the defendants,
1t is alleged, drained the water, and also
the surface water, away from Mr.. Cases
cranberry land. The suit has been
pending in the Jackson county court,
and this hearing was to have been given
at the October term, but was put over,
and special date made.-[Sparta

Tile apple Kmgs Make tile Best
Record yet Kuo7vN.

Messrs F. W. Kruger & Co., the
hustling, wide-awake, young business
men who occupy the Post-office store,
never allow an opportunity to pass
whereby they can save their customers
money. The past week they purchased
two carloads of apples, which consists
of $50 barrels, an amount that no other
business man dare tackle, because they
thought the market was already over
loaded
Saturday morning they put the price
down to 81 a barrel, and sold 100 barrels
that day. They believe in buying close,
selling on small margins and doing a
rushing business. If you need barrel
of apples now is the time to place your
order with them. This firm also have
25OO pounds of mixed candy for the
holidays, which they are fairly giving
away, 2 lbs. for Is cents. They are
leaders in the fruit and confectionery
business and don't propose to allow the
flies to roost on them this fine weather.

The laws Of health are taught in our
schools; but not in a way to be of much
practical benefit and are never illustrat-
ed by living examples, which in many
cases could easily be done. If some
scholars, who had just CONTRACTED cold
was brought before the school, SO that
all could hear the dry loud cough, and
know its significance; see the thin white
coating on the tongue, and later, as the
cold developes, see the profuse waterv
expectoration and thin watery discharge
from the nose, not one of them would
ever forget what the first symptoms of
a cold were. The scholar should then
be given Chamberlain's Congh Remedy
freely, that all might see that even a
severe cold coulp be cured in one or
two days, or at least greatly mitigated,
when properly treated as soon as the
first symptoms appear. For sale by j.

NEW YoRK. June 29.-There area good many anxious men in this city to-day They are consigsees of big shipments of tin-plate, several yes selS loaded with which are still upon the raging deep. Unless they arrive by three o'clock tomor- row afternoon, or rather unless their manifests are produced at the custom-house by that time they will be subject to the increased duty inn posed by the Mckinley bill. Elf forts have been made to induce col lector Ernhardt to keep the custom house open tomorrow until mid night. just as was done some months ago when various other clauses of the Mckinley bill went into effect, hut without result. He says that he can see no reason why extension of time should be granted. On the other occasion there was general advance in duties aud the extension on that day was of universal mo- ment This, however. Is special thing, and he can see no more req son for the extension than if an ad- vanced duty was to come into effect on olives. Beyond this, the Secre- tary of the Treasury directed the previous extension, and no instruc- tions have been received from See retary Foster authorizing the col lector to follow the same course at this time. As result. entries pre- sented up to three o'clock to-mor- row afternoon will be properly acted upon. After thas hour the pohibi- tory tariff will go into effect aud the unIucky consignees whose cargoes have been delayed will be compell- ed to stand the heavy burden.
