How to Kill Gophers.

: J. R. Glassford, a promin ut frui
grower near Phoenix contributes the
following:
EDS. FREE Press AND THE PEOPLE
OF MEsA--You have All enemy that
you ought to get rid of. I mean the
pocket gopher for he Is an enemy.
You can kill him easily and cheaply
by poisoning him, The way to do it
IS TO get bottle of strychnine and
>ome potatoes. Take small piece Of
potato and cut u slit in it and put into
the slit little strychnine, say about
as large as a pea, and drop the piece
of potato into the hole where he works
md lives and then cover up the hole
40 as to exclude the light, and as he is
dead lover of potatoes he will eat
his last meal and will never bother
you any more. fyou don't kill him
he will destroy your trees and do all
kinds of digging and cutting your
trees, shrubs. alfalfa, as well as all
kinds of roots, as he lives on roots"

Some little excitement has been on

Some little excitement has been on
in Mesa and vicinity the past week
over the water question This il in
accordance with tll@ usual course ot
events in all new countries where ir.
rigatiau is necessary. In all these
conte sss u compromise is usually ell
fected after thousands of dollars have
been spent in litigation. It looks TO
hose who have been through like ex
perienees that it would be far better
to amicablv adjust the various differ
ences that arise than to resort to ex-
pensise litigation. The troubls now
seems to have arisen over the con-
struction of dam in the Mesa canal
last Saturday night, by owners OF land
east of the canal, so as to raise the
water into a new ditch which they
had constructed. This backed the
water up so rs to destroy the falls at
the division gate which were used by
DR.. Chandler tor power purposes. A
good deal of excitement resulted. but
we learn that the matter is today in
process of amicable adjustment
Chamberlaiu's Cough Remedy gives
the best satisfaction Of any cough
medicine I handle, and as a seller
leads all preparations in this market.
I recon mend it because it is the best
medicine ever handled for coughs,

Perhaps yon would not thi nix 80
but a very large proportion Of diseases
in New York comes from careleasness
about catching cold," says DR.. Cyrus
Edison. st is such a simple thing
and so common that very few people
unless it Is a case of pneumonia, pay
any att. ntion to a cold. There are q
great many Cases of cstarrh and con-
sumption which have their origin IN
this neglect of the simple precaution
Of every day life. The most sensible
advice is, when you have one, get rid
of it as soon as possible. By all means
do not neglect it." DR.. Edison does

SILVER IN WEST VIRGINIA.
In One County $50 Republicans Come
Out for Bryan.

Parkersburg, W. Va, Aug. 6-Yes-
terday the Democrats of Roane county
were to hold their convention for the
nomination of county officers. To ex-
plain what will follow, it is well enough
to say that the biggest vote ever cast
by the Democrats in the county was
LOO. At the last election Warren Mil
Ter, present representative in congress,
carried the county by 100 majority.
Before the convention was opened it
became evident to the most casual OBJ
server that the crowds in the town of
Spencer were the largest ever seen
there, and that every man of them was
a strong advocate of free silver. A
count of heads brought the astound-
ing fact that there We're over 1880
voters present, among whom We're over
700 Republicans. The enthusiasm be-
came so great that something had to
be done to relieve the pressure, and it
was suggested that the county conven-
ton be turned into a Bryan free silver
primary. The suggestion took like
Wildfire and a primary or mass cOnVen-
ton was opened, with rolls opened for
those advocating free silver One
thousand eight hundred men signed the
rOll-100 more than the Democrats ever
pOIled in the county. and of the great
crowd it is said $50 were former Repub-
HcanS.

MAKE PUBLIC FORUM.
The People Ought to Have Place to
Discuss Finance.

"Capt." Curtis who is on the streets
a great part of the time suggests a way
+o get rid of the crowds which cOngre-
gate to discuss the financial question at
all times of the day.
ct think it would be a good plan, -
said he, ito have the old court house
thrown open. It is of no use to the
county as it stands, and it might be
used by the people who want to discuss
the money question and who want to
hear it discussed. I would allow man
to talk just as long as he wanted to,
and when he could talk no longer some
one else could take his place. The lis
teners would then have a place to sit
down and there would be no congre-
eating of crowds on the streets to be
dispersed by the police"

TO VISIT CLEVELAND.
Carlisle to Try and Induce the Presi
dent to Favor Bryan.


Washington, Aug. 6.-WiI Secretary
Carlisle visit the president at Gray Ga
bIes with the intention of attempting to
secure his support for the nominees Sc
lected by the Democratic convention at
Chicago?
This question is now engrossing the
attention of politicians here to the ex-
clusiOn of all kindred topics. The belief
has for some time prevailed that Mr..
Carlisle is gradually becoming recon
ciled to the situation, and that he has
finally reached the conclusion that the
Endorsement of Mr.. Bryan constitutes
the lesser of two evils. The belief prac-
tically became a certainty when SEN
ator Lindsay of Kentucky declared his
allegiance to the Chicago ticket.
According to the programme, as said
to have been arranged, Secretary Car
Isle will leave Washington Friday next
on the lighthouse tender Maple for a
cruise along the coast, and, it is said,
the secretary will take advantage of
being in the immediate neighborhoOd
to visit the president at his summer
home.
This visit is to ascertain if the presi-
dent cannot be persuaded, after the
indianapolis conference has adopted a
sound money platform and repudiated
the POpulistic declaration in the Chi
cagO platform, to give his support to
Bryan and SeWau, with the understand
ing that, in the event of their election,
every effort will be made to substitute
for the Chicago policy the sounder
principles advocated at Indianapolis.
