OUR NEW TOWN.

Last Monday morning Mayor
James r. Turman and one of the
village attorneys appeared before
the Board of Supervisors at Phoe-
nix and claimed the attention of
the Board for few minutes. They
were courteously received and stated
their business before the Board
was on behalf of the people of Mesa
City who desired their village to be
disincorporated and re-incorporated
as town under the Act of 1898.
Council Bill No. "a, introduced by
Judge Hakes and passed by the
late Legislature was read. also the
petition of the taxpayers of Mesa
City requesting the change in the
corporate existence.
After some little explanation and
discussion. on motion of J.T. Priest
and by full vote of the Board, the
prayer of the petition was granted
nd the village disincoporated and
forthwith re-incorporated as town
under the Act of 1898 and amend
ments.
For the unexpired term ending
April 10, 1898. the Supervisors
appointed the following Council
men: Jas. r. Turman, Brig. M.
johnson, Ben F. LeBaron, Hyrum
8. Peterson and Phil Nets. At
the election in 1898 all the officers
will be elected b. the people.
The new Council Immediately
organized last. Monday evening
Jas. b. Turman was elected Mayor
D. A. Spragg was appointed Town
Clerk and g. B. Lewis as Marshal
Morton a. Shewman were retained.
as attorneys for the corporation.
The Council will meet on the iirst
Thursday of each month.
We. noted some opposition to the
new incorporation in our last issue.
It all died out, however, and we

DISPATCHES from Europe Justify
the belief that war is inevitable
between the Turks and Greeks.
While the Greeks may possess all
the marital spirit of their dead
heroes Of the past, they can put
only from 10000 to $4,000 fight
ing men in the field and many OF
them are unused to the soldier life
and would be practically inefficient,
while the Turks could send to the
front from 100000 to 800, 900 sol J.
diers splendidly equipped. 1t is
safe to say, however. that in case
of war between the two nations
the great powers will eventually be

more than one man and he was a
nonresident OF the corporation.
The so-called remonstrance did not
appear as it usually requires some
influence or personal magnetism to
persuade the mass of the people to
act against what appears to lie
their best interests and in so doing
only subserve what appears to be
selfish personal interest and
nothing else. AS the chief ''re-
monstrator has no irAuence
and, if possible, less personal mag
netism, the objectors' "kick" was a
dismal failure. Mesa people are
fully up to the times and desired
the new organization.
A word as to the expense of the
corporate Transformation. We are
informed that some person has
stated that the change would cost
at least $l,(0o. The person who
made the statement, it seems to US
must have been woefully ignorant
or his own fear and self interest
distorted things badly, and he thus
got mixed on "facts and figures. ,,
However the statement is SO bald
and far--fetched that it only creates
a quiet laugh for all. We will
pay no attention to the other mat
ters Stated, especially the personal
abuse and misrepresentation made
against the corporation officers and
especially the attorneys by a certain
individual, as we will consider the
source and drop the matter righl
here, but if any more of it occur.
we will not always be SO patient,
When man has NO friends at al
in the community we really feel
sorry for him and hence oul
reason for saying nothing further
It this time.
A word as to the expense. I,
will scarcely amount to anything
The new officers are pledged tc
keep down all expense and we be-
lieve they will.
Mesa City has a grend future
before her and we believe the new
incorporation will greatly assist in
building up the place. We trust
and hope it will.

have always been kindly disposed

have lent their encouragement by
granting tax exemptions for term

Mr.. Norton disclaimed having used the
word most" With a change of that
word to many he stood by that state
ment. The pension office required testi-
mony which was not in existence. He
stood ready, Mr.. Norton said. to aid in
sweeping away these senseless regulations

Remedies do not begin with the Presi-

Now Recognized as a Cause of Seri-

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart

food. The stomach being too weak to
promptly digest it, the food remains until
fermentation begins, filling the stomach
with gas, and bitter sour. burning taste
In the mouth Is often present This condi-
ton soon becomes chronic and being an
every day occurrence is given but little
attention. Because dyspepsia is not i'm
mediately fatal. many people do nothing
for the trouble.
Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles 1t is
known as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and
is now becoming rapidly used and pre-
sc1bed as a radical cure for every form
OF dyspepsia.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have been
paced before the public and are sold by

MONETARY COMMISSION PLAN.
Circular Letter Sent to 10000 Bank
ers Urging Harmony.

Circular Letter Sent to 10000 Bank
ers Urging Harmony.
Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 9.-Chairman H
M. Hanna of the monetary commission
has sent to the bankers OF the country
10000 circular letters, as follows:
Dear Sir-The monetary commission
chosen by the executive committee of the
Indianapolis monetary convention, will
very soon conclude its labor and offer a
plan ~ financial legislation in accordance
with the expressed will of the convention.
The members of the committee have at
great sacrifice to themselves and without
compensation other than their travelling
and living expenses, while engaged in the
work, given a great deal of time and dill
gent, conscientious effort for the accom-
plishment of the great task imposed upon
them.
1T is generally believed that the sugges-
ton for legislation that this committee will
offer will prove to be broad, comprehen-
sive and rational. The difficulty of dealing
with existing conditions, and the needs of
widely separated geographical divisions
present many complex phases Of the sub
ject. After long suffering and immeasura-
bic expensive delay the opportunity seems
to be at hand for financial reorganization.
However, only patient patriotic sacrifice OF
individual opinions as 10 methods will
make desirable legislation possible.
1T is not difficult for conservative think
ing men to agree as to the great principles
involved, but there is a wide difference of
opinion as to the detail of methods. The
suggestions sent to the commission are so
varied that all of them cannot be used,
therefore suppression of individual prefer
ence calls for patriotic patience.
I'm anticipation of the publication of
the plan of the commission this letter is
addxAsed to you to remind you of the Sc
rioEsWnportance of harmony among those
who recognize the necessity of eliminating
the money question from politics and Is
tablishing stable things I'm finance. ~
IF. after careful consideration, you be-
lieve the main features of the plan of the
commissioners to be sound, you are urged
to waive your preference for detail and
unite in the great effort to at once widely
dispose of the subject and release the COM
merce of the country from the awful de-
struction incident to periodical financial
agitation.
your senators and representatives in
congress will desire to hear from you on
this subject If you can consistently do
So do not fail to write plainly to them your
approval of the plan offered by the com
missiOners."
