It cured us before the bottle was more than half used. It is the best medicine out for colds and coughs The Herald. Andersonville, Ind. For sale by Brockway's Pharmacy.

A PHOENIX paper jocosely says Judge Charley Wright will find it difficult to tell "What Tucson Needs" in one lecture. The most verbose speaker could explain what Phoenix wants in two words-the earth. But that's not the only difference between the two cities; it is plainly shown in the adver- tising columns of this paper. The Tucson merchants are reaching out for trade and ask for the patronage of the country people, and they get it. In Phoenix they seem to think Arizona is bounded by the limits of Maricopa county, and the result is that people outside of tLat county have very little regard for Phoenix methods.

The Twentieth legislature for some reason was hostile to the newspapers from the beginning of the session to the hour of the closing.

$500 FOR 4 FOOT
It Was of Land Well
Located in New York.
Would Make Small Lot Worth
More Than Miiiion-Some
Historic Prices.

The highest price ever paid for a
piece of land in the United States, says
the New York correspondent of the
Chica go Record, was obtained two
years ago for a small plat on the south
west corner of Broad and Wall streets.
New York, where III feet was sold for
$348.67 per square foot; but last week
Benjamin d. Stillman, a Nassau-street
$500 a square foot for the old drug
store on the southeast corner of Broad
way and Wall street, which makes that
the most valuable piece of property in
FOR front foot on Broadway, and at
this rate an ordinary city lot, % by 100
feet, would be worth 81 ,250, 900. So far
back as 1889 little strip of ground
only one foot wide at the corner of
Ninety-third street and Lexington ave-
nue. was sold for $500, but that was an
exceptional case.
number of pieces of property in
New York, however, have sold for more
than 500 a square foot. The site of
the old Herald building, at the corner
OF Broadway and Ann street, was pur-
chased by H. 0. Havemeyer of the
sugar trust, for $155.70. The site OF
the Hanover National bank, at the
southwest corner of Nassau and Pine
streets, was purchased for S223.39,

chaser by the Equitable Life Insurance

Thomas Atkins" as sobriquet,
says Household Words, is disapproved
by the British authorities. Yet the
name, it is alleged, really had an Off
cial origin. Years ago form was sent
round to regimental officers to show
how a soldier who could not write was
to sign his own name, and the illustra
tive name chosen was Thomas Atkins.
X. His mark" The name caught on
and eventually became the affectionate
nickname of the British soldier.

LONDON USES MUCH WATER

The water supply of London, says
the Chicago Record, is enormous. It
reaches S41, 461 houses, and the aver
age daily consumption is 1880, 233
gallons or a daily average of about 33
gallons per capita in a population Of
5.675.270. The area supplied is S45
square miles, and there are 5,147 miles
of water pipe and 1896 fire hydrants
OF this water 1O7, 100000 gallons come
from the River Thames, 81 ,000,000 from
the River Lea and the rest from
springs and artesian wells. In former
wears there was a great deal Of criti-
cism directed against the London wa
ter supply because of its insufficient
quantity and its impure quality, but
since 1898, when a Parliamentary COM
mission was appointed to investigate
the question, there has been no cause
Of complaint.
The greater part Of the supply taken
from the Thames comes from above
Richmond, where the water is compar-
atively pure, and is conducted by a
series of aqueducts into 81 different
reservoirs, covering $50 acres, with an
aggregate capacity of 1885, 100000 gal
Ions. From these the water is passed
through 12O fltering beds, some of
which absorb 1000 600 gallons min

Blu E-EYED INDIANS.

All Indians haven't black eyes and
straight black hair. The Ohio State
Journal finds that one of the mysteries
of Mexico is presented by the Maya
Indians, who inhabit the Sierra Madre
Mountains in the lower part of Sonora.
They have fair skins, blue eyes and
light hair, and students of ethnology
have always been puzzled to account
for them. There is tradition, how
ever, that these Indians are the de-
scendants of the crew and passengers
of a Swedish vessel wrecked on the
Mexican coast centuries before Column
bus discovered the New World. But
this tradition is founded on nothing
more substantial than a folklore tale,
current among them that their ancest-
ors came over the big salt water hun
dreds of moons ago.
The Mexicans have never been able
to conquer this people. Nominally, in
deed, they are under Mexican rule, but
really they are governed by their own
chief, and whenever the Mexican Gov
eminent has interfered with them they
iave taken up arms, getting the best
of the scrimmage every time. Their
nearest Indian neighbors are the va
quis, and these two warlike tribes have
reciprocity down to a fine point. Each
helps the other when the Mexicans at
tack them.
The Mayas live principally by the
chase, although they cultivate some
corn and garden truck. The men are
the women are remarkably handsome
blondes.
