At Prescott

PRESCOTT, Dec. l3.--It is said that
Ralph Dillon, who has been in England for
some time, has finally enlisted capital there
to operate the Winningham mines, near
Jerome. This is encouraging other owners
in the vicinity. Jerome has great mining
future.
Mr.. George Hoodley, the agent of this city
to sell water bonds, returned the past week
from New York with member of the firm
OF L. Harrison Sons, prospective buyers.
Mr.. Hoodley and Mr.. Harrison induced
four members of the council to request the
mayor to call special meeting of the coun-
Gil to consider the terms of sale hut he re-
fused. Mr.. Harrison has returned to New
York to await action by the council at the
regular meeting in January.
Jerome will soon incorporate as city.
This is caused principally by refusal of
the insurance companies to do any more
business until water system is put in and
that can only be done after incorporation.
The plant will cost about $4,000 With a
city government streets can be graded and
police force installed.
The lowest temperature yet this winter
came Sunday when the mercury stood at
20.5 degrees. Much snow has fallen all
around us. In Jerome the snow was three
feet deep on level land. About two feeet
prevailed here for some days.

trains were running at good speed. Engi-

gers were badly shaken up but none were
injured. .

Any sick woman can have the benefit of

More than half million invalid women
have been successfully treated by Doctor
Pierce aided by his staff of skilled special

ings and abhorrent examinations and local
treatments are avoided.
The world at large knows of Doctor
Pierce, chiefly as the inventor of the two
well-known remedies. DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Doctor Pierce's Fav-
orite Prescription. And it is probably the
case that, in general, DR.. Pierces remedies
are classed with all the other patent medi-
cines," and DIR. Pierce himself ranked with
those doctors whose degrees are purely
honorary or assumed, and no more stand
for medical knowledge or experience than
the familiar title of Major in some Sec
tions of our country signifies that the bearer
of it is familiar with siege and battle. DR..
Pierce does not belong to the class of doc
tors whose titles are by courtesy only. He
is a doctor by choice, doctor by education,
a doctor by practice and experience. He
is more than that, Tor although there are no
official grades and ranks in the medical pro-
fession as in the military, which are marked
by titles and by chevrons, yet as Il man ad-
vances in the practice OF medicine, as his
knowledge becomes exact and certain, as
his skill becomes developed and perfected,
so he achieves rank among his fellows and
is held in honor by the public. Such rank
DIR. Pierce has achieved, and as specialist
in the treatment of diseases of women, he
stands at the head of his profession in the
United States.
DIR. Pierce's remedies differ from most
medicines, in the fact that they contain no
absolutely free from opium and every other
narcotic drug. For no other medicine pre-
pared exclusively for the use of women, as
is "Favorite Prescription, can such a claim
be truthfully made.

lishment and all patent medicine" estab-

Not Jet but Gelatine

Much of the Jet that winked obiquitously
upon the horse show gowns and bonnets
last week was not jet at all, but spangles.
1t has all the brilliancy of the finest jet.
but it is less costly and it is infinitely less
weighty. The spangles are all of sequin
shape, their application giving the needed
variety of pattern. But what they are made
of is the amazing thing Gelatin common
or garden gelatine, long familiar to us in
puddings and at those crises when the
reguls ton jelly refuses to 'jel1'-such is
the composition of those sparkling bits Of
black that brighten so many smart gowns
Just what process transforms the pudding
and jelly compound into the article of dress
trimming is not known, but it Is certain
that these spangies show no signs of their
proletariat and practical origin. Their
masquerade as jet is, to the average eye.

JACK TARS WOULDN'T TOAST.
An Amusing story About Some Eng

An Amusing Story About Some Eng
Iish and German Sailors.
I heard the other evening in n rail-
way carriage an amusing story with
regard to English and German jack
tars, says a writer in the London
Sketch. It was told of the membcr#
of the crews of two ships engaged il.
the recent blockade of Crete. These
tars were engaged in festal gather
ing ashore and one of the Germans pro-
posed the health of his omniscient en-
peror, which was duly drunk by the
assembled party of both nationalities.
Presently the English boatswain sug-
gested that the name of her most gra-
cious majesty should be toasted with
similar honors, but the tars of the ia
therland received the proposal with IL
chilling silence.
"Ain't you a-goin' to drink the
queens health?" came the English in
quiry.
"Nein, nein," was the Germanic re-
sponse.
"Now, then, boys" exclaimed the
boatswain, II don't want any unpleas-
antness, but we can't have this, you
know; 'tain't fair. Take yer time from
me; two fingers down yer throats, and
up comes the bloomin' emperor"

Got His Man and Brought Him to
Town.
Among the wills that were probated
the other day was that of negro black
smith named Austin Thompson, whose
shop was on Sycamore street. There is
a story connected with this mans name
that is worth telling, says the Lexington
(Ky.) Herald.
Just after the war old BENJAMIN F.
Graves was county judge. He was an
eccentric man, very peculiar in many
ways, very honest and very positive
He ruled with a strong hand. One day
Austin Thompson, who lived in the
county, was brought before him
charged with hog stealing. The meat
vas found upon his premises, but he
had made no effort at concealment.
He acknowledged having the hog and
killing it, but insisted that he bought
the hog from another negro, who rep
resented it as his own. Judge Graves
inquired if he could "bring that other
nigger into court" He was answered
Tomewhat doubtfully. The old Judge
then answered to Austin that he "must
bring that other nigger in, dead or
alive"
day or two afterward Austin drove
up with cart to the judges Office, and
entering informed his honor that he
had his man.
Bring him in," said the judge.
II can't" said Austin; "he's dead"
He had followed the old judges in
structions to the letter. The other
negro refused to accompany Austin to
town, and so Austin killed him.
OF course it caused an immense SEN
sation in the community, and there
was talk of impeaching the Judge and
OF hanging Austin. But nothing after
all was done about it, and the matter
was allowed to drop.

MICHAEL MAY COME HERE.
Negotiating for His Appearance Late
In the Month.

There is every reason to believe that Jim
mie Michael the Welsh midget, and cham
pion middle-distance bicyclist of the world,
will be in this city July 81, and will partici-
pate in a match race at the track of the
Park Cycle Club on the Conduit road. Ne
gotiations are now pending toward that
end, and it seems likely that match event
will be brought about Michael has never
been in this city, and 1t is understood that
he is anxious to visit Washington, combin-
ing business with pleasure.
July 26 he will visit Baltimore, and run
match race in that city. Mr.. p ]. Cook,
the advance manager for Michael was in
the city few days ago, and had a talk
with President Lasley of the Park Cycle
Club. The conference lasted for several
hours, and while nothing definite resulted,
Mr.. Lasley stated that 1t was quite certain
that Michael would race in this city. Mr..
Cook was anxious to arrange race for
July 81, the day after the race In Baltimore
In case that date should happen to be I'M
favorable on account Of the weather. he
was perfectly willing to change it to July
%. This was all that could be desired.
So far as Michael was concerned the
agent stated that it was immaterial to him
with whom the match race was arranged.
If it could be arranged to bring down Tom
Linton, the former holder of the hour rec
ord for the world, or Eddie McDuffie, the
fast Boston middle-distance racer, who is
the greatest rival TO Mlchael now on the
cycle path, Michael would be satisfied. Any
distance under the hour would be perfectly
satisfactory to. the midget. This would
mean a race from anywhere between five
and thirty-three miles.
The chances are that some local man will
be put up against him. Though the time
for the race is only a short distance off, it
Is likely that one of the swiftest local
riders will be put in hard training to COM
pete against the diminutive rider. Fred
Sims was suggested, but it Is hardly likely
that he will be used on account of his
weight. He Is entirely too heavy to keep
up for middle distance event over fifteen
or twenty miles. If Counselman shows a
change for the better in his riding he
stands a good show of being selected
There is also a possibility of either Schade
or Wilson being chosen. Whoever the rider
may be, it Is certain that he will be the
best local man who can be picked from the
ranks to UNFOLD the local end of the lima
