you may ia ke it to be only an
other of Saur & Balsley's ad-
vertisements and not give it a
fair reading. But you read
much stuff that is more worth
less than any Of these adver-
tisements, and whatever you
read is worth reading only to
the extent it may benefit you.
Now we have a few plain
statements to make in refer
ence to Saur & Balsley's Drug
and Book House and its con-
tents, and if you will read it
through we know that it will
not be the last time and that
it will benefit you very much.
Now where in this section
of the state is there a town
the size of Napoleon which
contains a larger or better
drug and book store. Every
thing in the drug and book
line is kept and can be pro-
cured at all hours. We have
or can procure any book that
is published and at bottom
prices.
The wall paper department
we want to call especial at
tention to-we have a complete
stock and the very best pat
terms. Window shades, pat
ent fixtures, etc., always on
hand and in endless variety
and quality.
Paints. oils and varnishes
we take an unusual interest in.
We select only the best and can
positively recommend every
thing in this line to purchas-
ers, and not only recommend
but guarantee it. Then there
are brushes We have any
kind you can call for and at
surprising prices.
In the line of medicines we
have only the best and most
reliable cough remedies, blood
purifiers, pills, tonics, cordials,
etc. Best perfumes always on
hand.
Now we do not wish to be
partial or to dictate to any
u u ~
one, but when you are in
need of any goods do not stop
at one house, but get prices
from several houses and then
you will have an opportunity
OF seeing who will sell you the
best goods for the least money,
and never pass Saur & Balls
ley's drug and book store
without calling in and seeing
what you can do there. Many
a dollar has the farmer saved
in this way and in trading at
this house. We do not say
this from experience alone,
but it is what hundreds of
others say.

school supplies are constantly

The comic valentine is with us, just
as hideous as ever and a trihe more
pointed in it's vulgar satire. The
windows of the book and variety
stores are flaming masses of the at
trocities, and gaping crowds of
youngsters congregate to feast their
eyes and select the ones they would
buy had they the necessary pennies.
The old favorites are retained, and
the vices of the masher, the old maid,
the gossip and their familiar COM
panions are again exploited in dog
gerel verse. But this year the new
woman has offered an inspiration,
and the bloomer girl, the mannish
girl. the bicycle girl and the henpeck-
ed husband in skirts are added to the

M'KINLEY AND SILVER.

The battle cry of Republicans in Arizona should be Mckinley and sil- yer. That is a combination that will result in the greatest prosperity our people have ever known.
 The leader of the opposition to the Mckinley movement is a pronounced gold man and an enemy of silver. He would go to St. Louis and not only vote for Allison, but vote for gold plank in the platform. He would in every way misrepresent the Republi- cans of Arizona.
 The men behind the bolters are goldbugs. They are men whose sym pathies are not with the people The safe thing to do is to support the reg ular Republican organization, Mo K1nley and silver.

A LACK OF HARMONY.

All is not harmony even in the ranks of the bolters. That has become evident in the last day or two. The zanjeros who attended the trump com mittee meeting all want offices pledged to them and the paid attorneys of the gang all expect to be judges. The gang lis in trouble because there are not offices enough to go around.
 So far as the people are concerned should the gang prevail it would mat ter little who went on the bench from paid attorneys they would simply become paid judges, and the people would secure very little redress in the courts from the oppression of the gang.
 The question is shall the gang rule ? Shall the gang manipulate and coerce the country for the purpose of cor ruptly controlling the courts, the treasury and other territorial offices?
 It was for this selfish motive that the gang desired large country repre- sen tation-not from any love for the voters. The more zanjeros the gang could coerce into the convention the better for the gang.
 But now even the zanjeros rebel. Even the gangs legal lackeys kick. They want their pledges now and if they are not made there will be an- other bolt However, political pledges made by the gang are not intended to be kept and the zanjeros ought to have them at least in black and white. It will perhaps occur to some of those who have been innoeently entrapped into the gangs scheme to control the courts and corrupt other officials that after all the regular Republican orga- nization is the safest route to political honors. The gang has no goods to de- liver and the fellows who want office should not stultfy iJhemselves by training with it. It is never too late for the vilest sin ner to return and if those who have been made fools of by the gang want to get in line they can show their good faith by remaining away from the bolt CTS primaries and giving their en- dorsement to the regular Republican primaries.

THE GANGS METHODS.

The stock in trade of the political pirates who have organized a bolt from the Republican party is bribery, bulldozing and falsehood. All three of these methods are now being en- ployed ito defeat the will of the Repub- licans of Maricopa county. The con- binat1ion is one that in the past has worked successfully, but there are too many people now here for the gang to continue to manipulate them.
 It has been the custom to bulldoze the country delegates and by bribery and misrepresentation to control the town delegates. This scheme the gang attempted in the committee meet ing, but it failed to work and that is the reason for the bolt.
 The gang has no hope of honestly

out its core, and little was left save the bark. So men in their prime often suddenly drop the burdens of life, and friends are plunged into grief. What was the mysterious cause? It is easy to say heart failure; but how much was due to the condition of the blood, the doctors seldom declare. Im- pure blood cannot but result from the mode of living with so many in this busy age. The signs of depraved blood being neglected, every organ, and especially the heart. becomes in- juriously affected. There are only two courses to adopt; first, avoid the style of living which vitiates the circulation; secondly, when symptoms of blood inn purity show themselves, begin without delay, a course of Ayers Sarsaparilla, the only blood purifier that can be re- lied upon to cleanse and invigorate the system; the only one adjudged worthy of exhibition at the Chicago Worlds Fair.

controlling the politics of the county It knows that with inspectors and judges free from its octopus influ ences it could not elect a single dele gate to the territorial convention. Therefore it has decided to hold a sep arate convention and depend upon be- ing seated in the convention by false hood and chicanery. But the methods of the gang are so we'll known all over the territory that no one will be de- ceived. All the affidavits the gang can make on a stack of bibles will not defeat the regular Republican organi- zation. The Republicans understand the gang. They know how treacher- ous and unreliable it is. The gangs hireiings can publish as many cards in their organ as they please; it will not defeat the regular Republicans.
 We have no concern on that score, and so far as the gang is concerned we are glad that it has left the party. Our only concern is for those who may be coerced or deceived into voting at the trump primaries and thus innocent ly going on record in opposition to the Republican party organization. All that we ihave said or expect to say is to prevent unsuspecting Republicans from joining a bolt that even if sue eessful would only mean the destruc- tion of ithe panty.

FARM LANDS IN DEMAND.

Pennsylvania Mechanics Anxious to Leave
 the Towns and Go Farming.
 There has been brisk demand dur ing the past summer and winter for farms adjacent to the city, says the Newcastle (Pa.) Guardian. This, no doubt. has grown out of the uncertain ty of steady employment and reduction of wages, occasioned by the industrial and business depression which has pre- vailed. In thls city, although our in- dustrial establishments have run with remarkable regularity under the circum stances, there have been cuts in wages which have made the man who earns a living by the use of his hands very uncertain regarding the future. His past experience has taught him that further regular employment cannot al- ways be looked forward to, and the re- duction in his earnings has caused him more uneasiness. because it makes it more difficult for him to provide for rainy day"
 A reporter dropped into the office of one of the leading real estate agents, and during the talk learned that there had been quite a demand for farms within few miles of the central DOT tion of New Castle. Said the real es- tate man: Farm property in Lawrence county has been in good demand dur ing the past fall and present winter. There has not been much enhancement in values of real estate growing out of this call for such property as yet, but 1t will undoubtedly lead to it. Not only are there quite number of persons who desire to buy land of this kind, but it is considered just at present the best security by people who have money to loan at interest. A well-known Lawrence county man just the other day wanted me to loan for him six to eighteen thousand dollars on farm lands. He probably thought it safer investment than city property. Country property is not subject to the fnctua- tions of New Castle real estate by req son of the fact that in the latter place the shut-downs of industrial establish ments have marked effect on the real estate market. e knowiof a number of New Castle men who want to buy farm property adjacent to the city. One of these desires to invest six thou sand and another five thousand dollars. Mechanics in all trades have been here during the past few months getting in- formation regarding farm values. Some of these, should they purchase farms, will quit working in our indus trial plants, whiles others want their property near towns so they can con- tinue their vocation here"
