CUR ID

For a numbsr of years I have been
troubled with what the doctors term Hth-
ious, or uric acid diathesis. My urine was
often deticien in quantity, highly colored,
and depOsititg brick dust, and at times
very painful. Headache, pain in small of
back, vertigs specks before the eyes,
and confusiJn of memory accompanied
this condtiCn, and made it necessary TO
obtain relie. I am glad to say quick re-

BAD LOOKING CHAPS
Three Gila Monsters Sent TO Wichita rs .
Curiosity

Many were the tarjy husbands who
felt that they had the jim jams last night
as they passed the store of Biting Bros.
on their way home from the lodge" In
the east window of that store are three
"Giia monsters" sent 70 Biting Bros
from Arizona by ex-Chief of Police
Frank Burt They are horrible looking
animals and seem 10 be of the snake
species. Although they are shaped like
Paddy Sheas nine-year-old alligator.
they have the head and fangs OF snake
and are not coated with the arInor of the
alligator. Their fang is OF the exact
shape of the trident that Mephistopheles
is represented as carrying in his hand
when he visits the earth. The animals
are said 10 be tentinles more poisonous
than The rattlesnake. but OF this there
is some doubt. Some people hold that
they are not poisonous at all. Poison or
no poison. they are mighty repulsive
looking fellows

NOW THEY TRAVEL TOGETHER
Mrs. Gillespie of Ohio and Mr.. ". ~.
Sawyer of Ashland Married.

Sunday morning a 10 O'Clock, al the
residence of Mr.. Grant Hatfield, No.
1896 Jackson avenue, occurred the we'd
ding of Mr. w. NJ. Sawyer of Ashland,
Kan, and Mrs. Gillespie, of Washington
Court House, Ohio The wedding was
very quiet and pretty one indeed. with
no ostenta ton whatever, only relatives
being present.
The house was tastefully arranged for
the occasion, and presented quite a dain-
ty appearance. The ceremony took place
IN the large double doorway which sep
crates the parlors, and the tapestry up
on either side and above made a fitting
surrounding for the bridal party, who
stood upon large white bear robe i'm
mediately beneath. In the center over
head hung a horseshoe suspended by
blue ribbon. The curtains were drawn
throwing a subdued light over the
scene, which was in full keeping with
the quiet and impressive affair.
When the hour arrived for the cere-
mony TO be performed, Rev. Z. c. Beach
Sf ST. Paurs NJ. f. church, entered the
&on, and advanced across the psrlor
10 the place where the ceremony was 10
be performed. The bridal party had en-
tered and advanced 10 where the min
lister stood awaiting them, taking UP
their position beneath the emblem OF
good luck. The ceremony was then
quietly performed, and after a brief in
vocation for the future welfare OF the
new household jus; brought into exist

The prospect gas-oil well is gone up.
The council threw it up after putting it
down 1850 feet. At a special meeting
OF the city legislature last Friday night
the project was formally abandoned and
A Madison given a contrac, 20 pull the
casing.
Ten thousand dollars was the amount
voted for the exclusive purpose of find
three.
OF this sum about eight thousand dol
lars have been expended in putting down
the hole and encasing X. Some more
will be spent in taking out the casing
and and clearing away the machinery
and tools and filling up the hole. The
work quit in sandstone and this forma-
ton being similar 10 the formations in
the Neodesha OF. fields 1t was thought
that next 10 the sand stone was layer
OF slate under which was oil and gas.
But il there is slate under the sand stone
and oil under the slate it will always re-
main there as far as Wichita is con-
cerned. Perhaps the council quit just
at the time when the work was about TO
result successfully. Maybe another
weeks work would have brought mil
lions Of wealth TO the town and county.
II is said that IL the Americans had
held on one hour longer at the battle Of
Germantown the revolution would have
ended two years sooner. That might
nave been true, but il also might have
-a1 in TD-f~
American patriots into a FRAGILE, IN
which case Wichita might have had TO-
day knickerbockered, epaulettei,
gouty puerile English sprig strutting up
and down the streets collecting half the
earnings of every nickel-in-the-slot ma
chine in town for private disbursement.
English tyranny, however, is neither
here nor there as concerns the Wichita
gas well, and they have nothing in COM
mon any more than that both are now
nowhere except in memory. And speak
ing of tyranny the English brand would
have been very watery compared with
what the city council would have ex-
perienced if it had put the other two
thousand dollars in the hole.
Individually, being in the hole and
having your money in hole virtually
amounts 10 the same thing, and the
council would have been both If il had
continued the same sort of a hole two
Thousand dollars deeper.
And so it occurs that Wichita aban-
dons any further experiment. There is
one consolation, however. The money
that the city put in the hole will stay
there. That much is treasured away
against the speculative fatalities Of
Cripple Creek and time. and people will
go to work in the conviction that the
salvation of this country is the face
OF it They wanted the hole and yelled
when they got enough.

The bride is a relative OF Mr.. Grant
Hatfield and is much loved by her large

bright faces OF the bride and groom,

they will leave for Ashland, where a

Court Notes.

The Cunningham case, which was on
trial in the district court last week, was
finished Saturday night. The plaintiff in
the case was L. D. Sugar, of San Pedro
and Mandell Bros, of Albuquerque, de-
PENDANTS, Mr.. Cunningham being party
to the action by reason Of an attachment
made by him. The jury brought in q
verdict giving Mr.. Sugar $3,262 damages.
The result of the trial is largely due to
the untiring efforts of Gen. E. L. BARTLETT,
and Mr.. Southerlin, who had worked on
the case for some time past. The de-
PENDANTS were represented by Messrs.
W. B. Childers, R. E. Twitchell and

NEW MEXICO WOOL GROW ERS
Committee of the Territorial AssO-
citation Appears Before the
Legislature.
URGENT NEEDS OF THIS INDUSTRY
A Resolution to Be Sent to the Ways
and Means Committee of the House
of Representatives Demanding
aProtective Tariff on Wool.

The meeting of joint committee of
the house and council of the SD legisla-
tive assembly of New Mexico, with COM
mittee from the territorial Wool Growers
association, appointed at recent meet
ing of that organization held at Las We
gas, occupied a good part of last Friday
afternoon, and was characterized through
out by harmony and an evident desire on
the part of the legislators to cooperate
with the association in securing the de-
sired protection for this great industry.
The wool growers committee was COM
posed of Geo, H. Wallace, W. S. Prayer,
Chas. Ilfeld, Jose L. Madrid and VIM. W.
Browne.
Mr.. NJ. Luna presided at the meeting, in
opening which he briefly stated it's OBJ
jects aud then gave way to Mr.. Wallace,
who delivered an address, in which he
pointed out the aid necessary to proper
examination of the wool industry, and the
legislation necessary for its protection.
The more important points touched upon,
as being the present urgent necessities
of this industry, are given herewith.
soAB LAW.
The 31st session of the legislature en-
acts the so.called scab law, which was
most certainly move in the right dlrec-
ton, but experience has demonstrated
that it is non effective very greatly, be-
cause no one is specially charged with its
execution, and we also feel that, in its
present form, the wool grower is left too
much at the mercy of the inspectors, OIL
various commissioners, as their feelings
may dictate. We do not know or com
plain of any acts of oppression, but WE
do know that after two years of it's opera
ton there is as much scab as ever in the
territory.
EAR MARKS AND BRANDS.
| There ia no regulation for ear-marks OF
brands and we believe the law should pro
vide special and severe punishment fol
their removal and alteration by unauthor
lied persons.
DEPREDATIoNs OF WOLVES, ETC.
Our industry at the present time is suf
fering very greatly in all parts of the ter
ritory from the depredations of wolve
and other predatory animals. With thi
evil we do not feel able, single handed, tt
! cope, and we respectfully ask the legisla
ture to come to our aid.
SHEEP SANITARY BOARD.
Our association recommends that 70,
will not only protect us from others, bu
will also protest US from ourselves, ant
