A SPEEDY FILUY.
The Remarkable Work of a Colt o1
 Elecwood.

w. G. Getz, the well-known local horseman, is more than pleased with advices from Denver showing that Etta c, a 3-year-old lilly, on her initial track race has attained a record of 2:2Sk. His qualification is founded on the fact that Etta c is a daughter of Elecwood. Elecwood being the prop erty of Getz and now in his stable in Phoenix. The stallion is young ami nal, seven years old, and the particu- larly notable feature of the matter is that Etta c. is the first of his colts and the only one that has thus far been tested for speed. Her dam is by a standard bred horse with a record.
 The race in which Etta c. was speed ed was contested by a large field of young animals, all of high breeding, and she easily outclassed the lot.
 Elecwood, as his name would indi- cate, is of the joined stock of Election ger and Nutwood. He was sired by Mortimer (2:27 4-year-old record), he by Electioneer, the dam being Clara B., by Nutwood. He is a magnificently proportioned animal, gentle as a kit ten and with all the points that a horseman loves to find His breeding is 1dentically that of the great Arion and his owner is now assured that his get will class high among the prize winners of the trotting track.

] THE GOVERNOR RETURNS.
From Ggaham County Where He Spent
 m@ sss the Fourth. ! .5 #G

Yesterday morning Governor Frank lin, Auditor Leiteh and General Samp- son returned from Graham county, where they spent the Fourth, Governor Franklin and General Sampson having been orators of the natal day in that county.
 The governor was we'll pleased with his visit The people extended him a cordial welcome and the brief sojourn of the chief executive among them was made very pleasant.
 To reporter Governor Franklin said: q visited Solomonville, Stafford and Thatcher in the Gila valley one of the finest in the territory"
 What do you think of Solomonville and the people?' asked the reporter.
 "Oh, I have pleasant recollections of Solomonville and the people. It has more water and more whisky than any other part of Arizona have ever seen. I asked Solomon and Fitzgerald and Kelley and Dan Ming and B. B. Ad- ans about the water. They said they didn't know anything about it, as they had never tasted it. I asked Judge Rouse-he was along-he said he didn't know much about it as he had never drank it. There was plenty of it, however, for irrigation purposes it was everywhere.
 Speaking seriously, the country is blooming like garden and Graham county is one of the grandest counties in this territory. The hospitality of the people is unexcelled and shall never forget their kindness to me on this visit. MT. Leitch, the auditor, ac- companied me. He is an old resident of Graham county and I was pleased to know is esteemed by all the people. "

THEY VOTED FOR DANIELS

Yesterday report was circulated on the streets that the Arizona delegation to Chicago had voted with Hill on the first test of the relative. strengths of the silver and gold men. Three tele- grams were immediately sent to dele gates, demanding the truth. Last night G. P. Bullard, chairman of the county central committee, received answer to one that he had sent to Delegate J. L.. B. Alexander. He wired that the Ari- zona delegation stood solid for Daniels and that any other report is wholly false.

dent R. Lindsay Coleman in regard to the eastern National show. AS has just been announced the exhibit will be made in Grand Central palace in New York city in February of next year. Both Philadelphia and Boston were considered by MT. Coleman, be- cause of flattering offers, but in sum- ming up the probable benefits of the public and trade at large, he quickly reached the conclusion that the metrop- oils is the only place for such an edu- cational exhibit as the annual show has proved to be. Since announcing his decision in the matter MT. Cole man has received many letters and tel egrams experimenting him on the stand taken. The manufacturers es- pecially are pleased because of their escape from the clutches of the Madi- son Square garden management which has heretofore charged the exhibition for every nail driven in the building. Any fear that the Grand Central pal ace is not large enough for the show may be dispelled. for it offers over 100000 square feet of space than double the space ever occupied before for any cycle show. The out look for the next show according to MT. Coleman, who is in the best posi- tion to judge, is particularly promis- ing. He feels sanguine that there will be more exhibitors in line than at any previous show in this country or in Europe, and that the number of visit ors for the week will not fall short of 100000.
 Tandems have become wonderfully popular this year, and a new tandem which has just appeared promises to be more popular than any of it's pre- decessors. The little machine is known as the Juvenile Tandem" and the youngster ought to be happy Many inquiries have been sent to the makers this year for double machine for the little folk, but the manufacturers have been so busy turning out the regula- tion bicycles that they have not given the attention to the matter that he de- mand would seem to warrant.

Open LETTER From Mr.. Evans.

To the Democracy of Birmingham:t
Under direction of your city executive
committee a primary elect is to be
held in the several wards on Tuesday
october proXimo, for the selection of
candidates for a mayor and eighteen al
dermen to serve for the ensuing term
AS an aspirant for the Office of mayor
l, as democrat, cannot ignore the exist
ence of this committee nor fail to recog-
nize its authority Therefore, | shall
submit my name to the people through
this primary Had the committee deemed
best to take no part in this contest and
allowed each aspirant to make an in
dependent race, my name would have
been submitted in the general election
along with others, who seem to prefer in
dependent action.
Without discussing here the question
of party control of municipal elections,
whether it be wise or unwise, / am con-
fronted by the fact that the party does
exist; that its executive committee is
clothed with full authority, and as a
democrat in national, state and county
politics, 1 feel that it would be incon-
sistent in me to seek this public honor
upon a line contrary to the will of my
party as expressed by its own commit
tees. Before the plan of the primary
was ever submitted / recognized the au
thority of the committee, and declared
my purpose to submit to it's judgment
and behests. And now in good faith /
appeal to my friends, and to all good
democrats, whether they be inclined to
give their support to me or not, to cast
their votes in the democratic primary
election Birmingham city democracy
is a power within itself and in all con-
gresional, state and county contests it
has proven itself to be of most valient
service, always ready, ever active and
powerful If, at the close of the polls on
October 6, the verdict of this democracy
be rendered against my candidacy, 1
shall gracefully retire from the contest
If the city democracy places in my
hands the commission which l seek l
shall not fear the final result. I only
ask that the people vote. Very respect
fully, FRANK V. EVANS.

-LsEInoO ueqSu!mdId u! seIII II pIpqo!d
CTranslated).
In consenting to accept the political
editorship of the Birmingham Courier,
we shall be entirely actuated by those
considerations of public policy which we
deem most beneficial to the great masses
of the people.
We shall not appeal to the prejudices
of our readers. We recognize that in the
pending national campaign. there is an
important conf1iet-whose decision is to
be determined by the people November
3 next.
Since this country enjoyed it's liberty
two great parties have alternately had
control of the goyernment-the Hamil-
tonian and Jeffersonian parties. Minor
parties have been born and passed away,
but that does not concern us at this time.
The fact is, that today, the republican
party, with the aid of combines, trusts,
pools and corporations is seeking to OBJ
tain the control of the government, with
no other purpose than their own selfish
interests; the democratic party seeks
to retain in the hands of the people the
control of this government. The repub-
lican party is seeking to fasten the Brit
1sh standard of finance on the American
people.
The British standard is gold: the Amer
lean standard is gold and silver under
tne CONSTITUTION, as SHOWN by Daniel
Webster, James G. Blaine, Alex H. Ste
phens and other American statesmen.
We must reeollect that this question
which is being discussed in the press, and
everywhere throughout the country be-
comes Of easier understanding if we keep
in mind one important fact that lies at
the very root of the controversy, and
that is that a contracted currency is in
furious to the people themselves. We adj
nit that such contraction is beneficial to
the holders of capital, particularly to the
trusts and corporations and dealers in
money, because the purchasing power of
their money is thereby increased hence
all other properties, including labor. cor
respondingly decrease in valuation.
Diamonds are valuable because of their
rarity; so with money-increase its vol
ume and it's power and control over all
other properties must fall. We talk
about our opposition to a trust on corn.
wheat, iron, coal, matches, sugar, ETC.
because the price of those several articles
is increased to the consumer and when
you tell your gold friend that it is pos
sible, as at the present time to create
trust on gold and thus increase its price
to the community, he pretends not to I'M
derstand your logic.

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
q local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t
incurable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and, there
fore, requires constitutional treatment.

only constitutional cure on the market.

THE LITTLE FRENCH GIRL.
She Is Miniature Woman and Is Taught
All Feminine Arts.


All Feminine Arts.
However innocent she may be, little
French girl Is much more of a little we
man than a child of any other nationality.
She does not romp; she is demure and
quiet in her games, which are often imi-
tations of a grown persons life. She is
trying to learn how to be the mistress of
her house by means of her dolls, furni-
ture, kitchen and dishes. Feminine arts
are still a part Of every well arranged
French education. Men really care more
for these accomplishments than for 9th
ers, as they make stay-at-home wives
who look after their households; and as
French woman's principal aim is to
please her future husband, every mother
prepares her daughter for this end. This
is why she does not permit too close an
intimacy with little boy cousins, because
ten years later a jealous husband would
take q dislike to these friendly cousins;
nor would he like his wifes bosom friends,
in whom she confides, and who never
leave her any better.
Mothers, therefore, permit few IL any
intimacies, and these are all winnowed
and selected with the greatest care. One
advantage of this system is that the
name of friend is not carelessly bestowed
right and left; it takes time and good
reasons for simple acquaintances to rise
to that rank. The mother not only wards
off little boy cousins and intimate girl
friends, but she discourages the little girl
in showing off her knowledge out of the
class ROOM. for she is fully aware that
nothing could be less attractive in the
eyes of the expected lord and master than
blue-stocking.
A bright little girl could name had,
by chance, picked up some astronomical
scraps, together with some other scien-
tific facts, which allowed her to shine

ing in the garden, she heard a friend of
her fathers exclaim, what a. dazzling

pair, for she would rather hundred
times have found her ignorant than have
seen her "show Off" or capable of COM
hitting the enormity of contradicting an
older person. II hope" she said jesting-
", as a sort of excuse, that when she is

FREE TO EVERY MAN.
TIE PRESCRIPTION OF A GREAT REMeD
Which Cured Him After Everything Else
Failed.

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when a man is slowly wasting away with
nervous weakness the mental forebod-
ings are ten times worse than the most
severe pain. There is no let-up TO the
mental suffering day or night. Sleep is
almost impossible and under such a
strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For years the writer
rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of
sexual weakness, until it was a question
whether he had not better take dose of
poison and thus end all his sroubles. But
providential inspiration came to his aid
in the shape of a combination of medi-
cines that not only completely restored
his general health, but enlarged his
weak, emaciated parts to natural size
and vigor, and he now declares that any
man who will take the trouble to send
his name and address may have the pre-
scrption of this wonderful remedy free.
Now, when | say free, | mean absolutely
without cost, because | want every weak
ened man to get the benefit of my eXpe-
rience.
l am not a philanthropist, nor dc pose
as an enthusiast, but there are thousands
of men suffering the mental fortunes Of
weakened manhood who would be cured
at once could they but get such a remedy
as the one that cured me. Send me your
name and address today. Do not try to
study out how | can afford to pay the
few postage stamps necessary to mail the
prescription, but send for the remedy
and learn that there are a few things on
earth that, although they cost nothing
to get, they are worth a fortune to some
men, and mean lifetime of happiness TO
most of us. Write to Thomas Slater, Box
ISL, Kalamazoo, Mich, and the prescrip
ton will be mailed in plain sealed en-
velope. S-30-su&wed-tf
