STATEHOOD NOTICE.

Owing to the fact that the act admitting
Arizona passed the house of representatives by
a very large majority, and the further fact that
the senate is undoubtedly in favor of our early
admission, we concluded that it was unneces-
gary to re-convene the statehood convention.
This conclusion has been submitted to various
of the committees of the convention and they
have all concurred therein
We therefore announce that the meeting Of
the statehood convent IN that was to have been
held on January IL, 1894, is indefinitely post
poned.

The Nervous System the Seat
of Life and Mind. Recent
Wonderful Discoveries.

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs of the body are under the con.
troll OF the nerve centers, located in or near
the base OF the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When it is re-
membered that a serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
the injured point, because the nerve force is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, it will be understood how
the arrangement of the nerve centers will
cause the arrangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
TwO-thirdS Of chronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action of the nerve centers at
the base Of the brain, not from a derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ it.
self. The great mistake of physicians in
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centers which
are the cause of the trouble.
DIR. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated sne
cialist, has profoundly studied this subject for
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries in connection with it, chief among
them being the facts contained in the above
statement, and that the ordinary methods of
treatment are wrong. All headache, dizzi-
ness, dizziness, confusion, pressure, blues.
mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, St.
V1tus dance, ETC., are nervous diseases no
matter how caused. The wonderful success of

THE LAZY FIRST BASEMAN.
He Was Favored by Rain Until the Manager
Drowned Him Out.


He Was Favored by Rain Until the Manager
Drowned Him Out.
The retired left fielder was telling the
story. Hank McGinnis," he said.
Twas the greatest first baseman ever
seen. He could play the bag outer sight
when he was mind to- but he was the
LATEST man in 81 counties, and he
didn't play no ball when he could git
outen it; He was allays turnin up with
i spiked foot or split thumb or some
thin of the kind, an ginerGlly made out
to lay off more'n half the time. The
summer we were playin in the Western
league we struck q manager who was
onto Hanks curves. He took him to
one side when the season begun an toll
him that he wouldn't stand no CRAFTS.
He marked out to him that if he didn' t
play every day he would git laid off an
lose his pay. Sore heels an thumbs was
barred.
Hank, bein lazier than ever that
year, was considerbul stirred up about
this. He didn't have no likin to play,
but he was hot after the long green, an
he KEEP playin along an kickin like q
bay steer all the time. Finally he got a
couple of days lay off an went to see
his mother, SO he said. He got back on
time an complained Of being sick, but
the manager tol him t. git inter tn
game or lose 20 cold plunks, an he got
in. Mex day we couldn't play. There
was big rain. JUS before the time
t. call the game on the day after that
they was another big rain.
"An it went on like this fer straight
80 days. 1t would allays rain jus be-.
fore the game, whether we was home or
away. Hank he got fat loafin around
an was on first rate terms with hisself.
Finally the manager had to let out some
of the men to reduce expense, an Hank
got the run Then the rains stopped.
Now, what do you think that man done
SOS he could git his money without
workin? Seems he knew somethin about
rainmakin, an when he took that trip
home he got his chemicals together an
didn't do thing but make rain every
afternoon JUS before the game. Buff
