There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease, and pre- seribed local remedies, and by com stsntly failing to cure with local treat ment, pronounced it ineurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitution al disease, and therefore requires con stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu- tionsl cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys- tern. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address.

How to XIII Ants.
aFrem the Phoenix Republican,

dFrem the Phoenix RepublieauJ
 Mir. T. NJ. Bowers was interested the other day in reading of way to get rid of ants, now employed on the asylum grounds, by sinking an empty somato can into the ground, the top level with the surface of the earth. The ants fall into the can and cannot get out. Mir. Bowers says this method is successful only as to the ants that get in but the number is so small in comparison with the whole number of the pests that the method is practically useless. Besides, it doesn't interfere with the propaga tion of another set of ants. Mir. Bowers was once employed at the asylum as an attendant when the ant question was under consideration The shortcomings of the tom ato can process had been discovered and Mir. Bowers was about to employ another plan, when sudden change of ad- ministration occurred and thousands of ants were spared. He has since depopulated many an ant hole by means of it. He bores a small hole with crowbar on each side of the ant hole and puts in table spoonful of bisulphide of carbon. He covers this with dirt thoroughly tamped. The fumes of the destroying drug thus permeate the earth in the vicinity oi the nest aud all the insects ss well as eggs are destroyed.

EIopers Brought Back.
From the Phoenix 'Ensierpfise.l

From the RhOenix hLtekfItscsl Deputy Sheriff Slankard returned Tuesday morning from Casa Grande, accompanied by A. J. Hayes of New York, and Miss Hettie List of Glendale, the couple that eloped Hast Saturday while the parents of Miss List were at tending the installation of officers of the Rebelsahs at Phoenix. They were met at the depot by the parents and brother of the young lady who took her in charge. The meeting of mother ahd dargkter was quite touch- ing. Hayes was rot royalty received, yet it was noticed that Mir. List did not express anger toward him as was anticipated. Hayes was escorted to the iaii tind placed in the bridal cham Der.
 Hayes stated the reason of the elope- .ment was that they were afraid the father would object to the marriage and then Che chance for elopement would not be so good. They are both Te-ySsute rs to the marriage at Casa Grande, Hayes saying they went be- fore & justice of the peace who tele- graphed tosshe probate judge of Flor ence, asking for the issuance of the marriage license. An answer was re- eeIEed eothe effect that it had been issued aud would be forwarded by the nextsnaE. The justice then went on with the usual wedding proceedings. Even though the license had been issued, it would not be legal without Che consent of the girls parents, as she is mot yet of age. There is rare possibility of the truthfulness of this tale, although it is extraordinary and unreasonable, for Arizona justices of the lpea ce have been known so do queer things.
 1t has been stated by the local press that Mir. List had objected to ths at- eention shown his daughterb by Hayes. sThis is denied by him, ss Hayes had worked at Glendale several months and was looked upon as 3 nios- young man.
 The girl is only seventeen years old, and althoagh strange, Hayes com mitted three offences when they eleped i. e. horse stealing, fradalent posses sion Of uaoney and ssdnctiou.

HE FOUND A DEEP LEAD.
Theorstica Prospecting Meets with Suo-
 cess in Mineral Creek.
From the Phoenix Republican,

From the Phoenix Republican, Word comes from the Mineral Creek mining district that James 0. Colqu- houn, superintendent of the Arizona Copper company, has opened up one of the most interesting copper propects to be found in that rich section of the territory or any other mining district in Arizona. Mr. Colquhoun entered upon the development of his prospect to satisfy 8 theory which came of careful geological deductions in regard to the presence of deep lead which did not come to the surface in the usual outcroppings to show its tvend.
 A shaft was sunk, and at depth of forty feet the vein was encountered. Ore was taken out for depth of sew enty feet on the vertical sinking of this ledge, proving the presence of the deep Lead at the point where sinking was begun. The fact that seventy feet of oSe was met with shows that the shaft was sunka strslxtng the vein square and following it as long as the pitch of the vesu did not get away from the vertical line of the shaft. Tha ore found is talcous, is white as lime and the copper values run very high
 The success of Mir. Colquhoun in thisunusual departu~e in prospecting will no doubt attract the attention of mining neu throughout the country. It at least proves that there are deep leads coDtained in the secondary for nation of mineral regions, and an- other possibility is added to mining which makes is all the more alluring.

An American Railroad in Chins.

Moneyed men from the United States have secured franchise for building 8 railroad from Hong Kong to Han Row, China, 8 distance of nearly 700 miles. While railroads are necessary to 8 nations prosperity, health is still more necessary. A sick man can't make money if there are thousands rail- roads. One of the reasons why Ameri- ca is so progressive is the fact that in every drug store is sold Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. that celebrated tonic for the weak, appetizer for the dyspep- tic and sedative for the nervous. 1t is taken with great success by thousands of men and women who are run down, pale and weak. Itincreases the weight, and the gain is permanent and sub stautial.
