 Buker's Kidney Pills are Kidney regulators-they aid the Kidneys in removing im- pure matter from the blood, by toning and cleansing them. If the Kidneys are in good order and the blood pure, perfect cir culation is the result-that means good health, rest and sleep. The pills cost 90 cents at the druggists.

When his train bad gone sev- oral miles beyond the scene of his death the remainder of the crew missed him. The track men instituted g. search. and down the mountain from Williams about seven miles they came upon most distressing sight.

The poor fellow had been de- capitated and both legs and arms had been severed by passing freight trains. four of which had run over him. The pieces were gathered in sack and taken to Williams, where they were later placed in coffin furnished by Undertaken Whipple, of Flagstaff.
 In some unaccountable manner Campbell must have lost his balance and fallen from the top of his train. He had only been on the A. & P. road two or three months, having come out from the cast. A brother Is expected from Sedalia. Mo-. when the funeral arrangements will be determined upon.

Of so much interest was the discussion of the bill and the prospect that 1t might reach a vote that the council adjourned and most of the members were in the as- sembly chamber actively alive to the progress of the measure.
 A proposition in the house to ad- vance substitute to the cigarette pro- hibltion out of its regular order brought out what might be construed to be test vote indicating final pas. sage of the bill.

E, Hurley, The animals are believed to have been affected be. fore being brought to Arizona since the conditions in the valley almost pre, clude the local origin of tuberculosis and the probability is strengthened by the fact that there has never occurred in the territory case of tuberculosis in a native born animal. It is still further strengthened by the additional circumstance that four or five cattle of this herd have died from causes un. known to the owner. since they were brought to Phoenix.

THERE is much excitement in con- gress on account of the method by which the contemplated issue of bonds were sold, and Mir. Cleveland is catch ing it all around, particularly since Secretary Carlisle pledged the mem- bers of the house committee on ways and means to secrecy before acquaint ing them with the nature of the con. tract made with the European syndi. cate which purchased the bonds, and then only gave them verbal state. ment of the contract, instead of sub mitting the original signed documen' as the members expected. This con tract, which the senate forced the pub lication of, is an extraordinary docu' ment. It is known that the price paid for the bonds will enable the syndicate to make profit of eight per cent, which is exorbtaut. and the terms oi this contract gives them the right tt take all other bonds that may be is' sued between this time and the first oi next October. There is much feeling on this Subject and many unpleasant things are boing said.

He is Said to Have Charged the Terri
 tory for Board.
 When Francis J. Heney, the great political acrobat and moralist, made bis famous speech at Flagstaff last fall, one of his most remarkable and anus ing assertions was that although. the railroad magnates fell upon their knees and implored him to accept passes he always scornfully declined the favor, preferring rather to pay his way, so that he might not be tempted to lean toward legislation influenced by trans portation.
 Now, it transpires that Heney not only rides on passes, but that in his official capacity as attorney general, he charged the Territory of Arizona with his private board bills. The law laking the appropriation for the attor- ney-general stipulates that the money shall be used to pay his mileage and the expense of printing briefs. Heney is accused of having made $136 board bill grab.

 Two letters have been received dur ing the past week by Wilson Hamil- ton relating to the construction of the north and south railroad, from rail way ma agnates of high rank and finau- cial influence, both of which are very encouraging in their tone. From one of them we quote the following para graph:
 Many thanks for yours of tho Sth instant. containing exhaustive article written by your good self. entitled .'Short Route to the Sea- which cer- tainly bears evidence of much original thought, and while, according to your figures, there would seem to be great promise for investors in an enterprise of the magnitude you suggest and in the direction indicated, yet under the existing financial condition of the coun- try generally. capitalists are slow to embark in such an undertaking with out the full knowledge of solid found ation and an assured return of invest ment with interest. Personally l be- lieve every word you write. your route is natural and a good one, all the conditions are favorable, the agricul- tural, grazing. mineral, coal and tim Der resources. know lie along your line, asyou represent. and as you forci- ply point out they will contribute to make very large local carrying trade But tho facts are not generally known. They are facts yet to be made known They must be brought to the knowledge of capitalists in comprehensive. busi- ness-like way, and that can only be done by toll and patient perseverance. With that perseverance aud discreet management I believe you will ulti mately make success and for tha' you know you have my best wishes"
 Tine balance of the letter is devoted to friendly but incisive discussion O the enterprise in its different phases 1 And altogether it is most encouraging The road will of Goprse be built wher all the facts are brought to the notice of the right men.
