GREAT PHYSICAL STRENGTH

is not necessary to the enjoyment of per-
feet health, yet strong, healthy organs
and faculties give rise to the most de-
lightful sensations of existence.
Exercise, common sense and ordinary

sick. When you find your stomach

nerves sensitive--look out ! When your

Serious illness has its beginning in
neglected little things. Even dread con-
sumption comes on by degrees, and may
begin with very slight arrangement.
Taken i'll time, 9S per cent. of all cases
of consumption can be cured. Taken in
time, no disease need be really serious.
The best safeguard against disease is an
active, healthy liver. That means good
blood and good blood means good solid
healthy flesh.
The germs of disease seek out the weak
spots in the body. Don't have any weak
spots. If You have them now, clear them
out, tone them up, make them strong.

organs of the whole body. 1t forces out
impure matter, makes the blood rich and
puts new life into every fiber. It makes

with-the flesh that means health, but a

AN OBJECT LESSON.

Here Is an object lesson In free trade
that cannot be escaped or explained
away. At the close of December, 1892,
we had in the United States AZ ,273, ,553
sheep, used for wool purposes alone, the
mutton sheep being differently classi-
fed. The total value of the wool sheep
was then $125, ,9O9, ,264.
In that year a Democratic admins
tration was ordered in, and in 1893 1t
began to tinker the tariff and cut off
protection to WOOL and William Jen-
nings Bryan was an active worker to
that end, speaking in Congress against
the wool interests, and as a member
Of the Ways and Means Committee re-
porting against them.
At the close of 1895 our sheep had
declined to IS. 29S. 1888, with a total val
ue of $50, 167, ,735, a clear loss Of $780,
741. 500. Now look at the foreign i'm
pcrtations of wooden goods. The i'm
ports in 1892 were 167, 7S4 400 pounds.
At the close of 1895 they were PAS, $780,
2l7 pounds, a gain of 81 ,204. 727 in three
years.
The value of woolen imports in 1892
was S37,515, ,445. By the close Of 1890
this value had increased to the enor-
nous sum Of $6O,319, ,3O1, an increase
of $23, 500, $50 in three years. Well, is
it any wonder that wool interests should
dislike Democratic tariff tinkering?

II IL any wonder that the Bryanites
refuse to discuss the rebellious and an
arohistic plank Of their platform? They
knew that 1t Is a traitorous and men

Let the people ponder upon what that
infamous plank means. Let them re-

Nowonder Bryan refuses to debate the

mo- wonder that he does his best to avoid
reference to the secession and revolu-
tionary expression.
Nothing can be clearer than this con-

Asked to Have the Riverside Road
Jmnroved for Winter.

James O'Neill and several other cii-
zens residing south Of the city along the
river appeared before the Board OF Su-
pervisors yesterday and asked that the
Riverside road be macadarnized the en-
tire distance The road becomes almost
impossible in winter, yet 1t is a roao
that has to be used every day In the
year, owing to the character Of the bus
mess in which the people are engaged,
that of raising garden products.
There are some portions Of the road,
Mr. O'Neill said, that are good, but
there are other portions where there Is
cuicksand, and these places become al
most impossible to travel as soon as the
winter rains come. Just now the road
is very nice one to travel but the con-
dition is simply awful In winter.
The time to improve the road, he said,
is before the rains set In and make the
road a sea OF mud. There are about
three and a half miles Of the road that
should be macadamiZed.
Chairman Morrison said he was fully
aware of the condition Of the road in

narrow strip of 1t should be macadam-
lied, as three is constant and heavy
traffic over it at all seasons of the year.
In the absence of Supervisor Curtis,
in whose district the road lies, no action
was taken In the matter.

him.

In his Jersey City speech Mr.. Bryan
said, Business men have been living
on confidence several years, and 1t is
getting to be thin diet. You
have been exercising faith so long that
you are getting tired of it." How widely
Mr.. Bryan differs from the publicist,
Professor John c. Schwab, whose OBJ
servation and study Of political econ
omy and financial systems completely
eclipses the knowledge and capacity Of
young Mr.. Bryan. Professor Schwab de-
clares that mutual confidence and de-
pendence more than anything else char
aoterize our present commercial life and
anything that weakens that mutual
feeling undermines the very founda-
tions Of our industrial system" Which
of these two expressions strikes deepest
into reason and leads most directly to
honest and satisfactory conviction?

The Bryanites are already making a
bed to fall upon by saying from plat
form and press that 'if'' Bryan is de-
feated four years hence the fight will
be made again, and if Mckinley Is
elected the silver men in the House and
the Senate will tie his hands and pre-
vent any revenue legislation unless ac-
companied by silver rider. When the
opposition begins to talk about a posi-
hle defeat it Is to be accepted as posi-
tive evidence of conviction in their
minds that their man Is whipped al
ready. But in this connection let it be
in, pressed upon Republicans that this
threat Of the opposition to keep the ma
ton In hot water for four years more.
and by obstruction prevent settling leg
islation, serves to show the high import
ance of electing Republican Congress
men and State legislators in every dis
trdct. Here we have advance notice
that the opposition is planning to boy
colt the people, to play the dog in the
manger act, to sit in the seat Of power
and snarl and snap at every effort that
may be made TO adjust the financial
system Of the Republic to the needs OF
the people and their commercial and do
mestic necessities. It is for this that
they are giving up the hope of electng
Bryan and preparing to concentrate all
their forces upon the capture OF Con-
gress We shall not be at all surprised
to presently hear Of offers to trade
Bryan and Sewau for anything that will
aid IN the election Of the opposition can
dates to the House, or for the seating
Of radicals as United States Senators.
The thing for Republicans to do is to
stand firmly for the whole ticket, to en-
ter into no bargains. to sacrifice no
advantage that will take single vote
from q Republican nominee for Con-
gress or the Legislature. There is and
will be no need. reason or excuse for
trading or dickering. It must be the
ticket and the whole ticket, or nothing.

STOP THE THIEF!
An Exciting Chase on First Street
 Yesterday Morning.

Stop the thief, he has robbed mev The cries were uttered by portly in dividual yesterday morning who was running north on First street as fast as his heavy frame would permit About every hundred feet he would stop to recover his wind and give ut terance to the cries quoted above.
 The thief whom he desired very much to be stopped was making rapid prog ress northward, followed by a crowd of people on foot and on bicycles. The pursued was sprinter of ability or else fear spurred him on, for it was not until he reached the bank of the town ditch that he was brought to a halt and captured.
 The portly individual finally arrived very much out of wind and red in the face from his violent exertions. He said thalt his name was Jack Shell, of Prescott, and that the man whom he was running after had robbed him of some money.
 He claimed that he was standing in the city hall plaza when he was ap- preached by the prisoner and knocked down. While on the ground the high wayman extracted S4 from his pockets MT. Shell said he had several bills in his vest pocket which the thief tried to get at, but he resisted. The shouts of MT. Shell were attracting attention so 1he bold robber took flight, followed by his victim.

GLACIER IN ARIZONA.
Most Curious Phenomena
 Benson.

Few southern countries can boast of having glaciers, yet Benson, just now, enjoys that distinction. Arizona has always from time immem orial been
 called the land of sunshine, but now must lose all such popularity and an cient fame and for some time, at least, claim kinship to the Alpines. One re- suit of the hailstorm at Benson, Thurs day, October 10, one mile south of town, is as perfect glacier as ever slid down any of the famed European hillsides. In this fiat south of Ben son Ehe mass of hail gathered and was washed along till it came to the rail road grade and having no outlet there it lodged. It covers several hundred acres and is all the way from two to ten feet deep of solid hail and ice. The professor of the Benson school took his class out lthere Saturday to give them an interesting and instructive object lesson on the philosophy of the glacier.

HIGH WATER.
Considerable Damage Done Willcox on
 Account of the Flood.

The Sulphur Valley News gives the following account of destructive flood that occurred there:
 The heavy rains of yesterday and last might, falling upon a district al- ready saturated with water, caused the greatest and most destructive flood in the history of Willcox.
 All yesterday the streets were flooded and in some places impossible for peo- pie on foot. By bed time broad streams were flowing into town by the Grant road and along the Southern Pacific tracks, yet as this is not an uncommon occurrence, no serious dam age was apprehended.
 About o'clock, however, the entire population was aroused by shouting and pistol shots. The walter was then nearly a foot deep in Soto Bros. large store buildings, It had invaded one of Norton & Cos. warerooms and was threatening many other buildings or Main street and the residence quarters of the town.
 The water rose two inches above tht stone foundation of Morton & Co.'S main store and several inches above the solid wall placed by Soto Bros under their building after the flood O. 1884.
 The damage caused by this fooi | cannot yet be estimated. Soto Bros loss alone will probably reach $1,50t or $2,000, and it is probable 5hat thu total loss to property owners in Will COX will approximate S5,000. 1 Suit will probably be brought agains the Southern Pacific company for tn damage sustained in this, the secont great flood, due to ehe compeny's re fusal to provide sufficient outlet flo the waters of the valley.

INDIAN AND THE JACKASS.

 Thomas Fitch.

The ready wit of Hon. Thomas Fitch never deserts him, as was evidenced during his speech Friday night. He was answering the questions put to him by some of his auditors, when somebody yelled: Would it not be better for the United States Ito be a colony of Old Mexico than a slave of England?"
 The question was poser, but the speaker wa equal ito the emergency. He ref1ectively scratched his head a moment, then answered:
 eff what I have said khis evening does not answer that question, then I fear that I will not be able to answer such an absurd query, for this reason
 ''It was during the Modoc Indian war in California" he said. "The troops were in pursuit of a band of In- dians They carried small howitzer strapped on the back of a mule. As the troops were marching along the bank of a gorge the Indians were dis covered at the bottom of the ravine. The howitzer was trained on the say ages below, but just as the gun was , about to be discharged the mule be- came alarmed and wheeled around The gun was discharged in the air and the recoil kicked the mule over the precipice down upon the heads of the Indians
 "Hostilities ceased and in few mo- ments a flag of truce was exhibited by
