How Mrs. Pinkham
HELPED MRS. GOODEN.
LETTER TO MRS. no. 1a,z,s]

81 am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to a woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years 1 had female troubles
and did nothing for them. Of course
1 became no better and finally broke
down. entirely. My troubles began
with Inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and Inflammation of ovaries.
81 underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permls-
sion to go back to work. 1 went back,
but in less than a week was COM
PEELED to give up and 60 to bed. On
breaking down the second time, 1 de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
nlone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone 1 felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
ments and medicine.
"The first remark that greets me
now is How much better you look!' and
you may be sure I never hesitate to tell
the cause of my health ."-MRa E. ].

with you. In Wyoming we have water commissioners under the control of the state engineer provided for by law. A part of the work of these investiga- tiOns by the agricultural department will be to note the working of such statutes as we have in Wyoming, the working of your consent system here in Arizona, the Wright law in Califor- mia, and the laws of other states, and these observations will be printed and issued in special bulletins fer public benefit. It is thought that in this way much good can be accomplished and eventually as nearly uniform irrigation laws enacted as the local conditions of the various states will permit.
 But to illustrate the work I am here to inaugurate I might cite two instances. In the PecOs valley, New Mexico, 1 found that the unit estab- lished was too small for that porous soil and water tights were sold which cannot be supplied and the whole sys- tenn has to be reorganized. On the other hand, I am told by your water commissioner, MT. TrOtt, that he be- lieVes the unit established here is larger than it need be; that your farmers irrigate too heavily. We are anxious to find out just how little
 
 your canals will carry, how many acres or land are under them and how many acres they can irrigate by careful hIlS- banding of the water. And as I said before, all this information will be disseminated through bulletins issued by the department.
 The work here for this season will be left in the hands of MT w. H. Code Of Mesa. The government will supply him with the latest scientific inStru- ments for measuring the flow of water and various blocks of land will be se- lected for observation on which the irrigation will be carried on as though no observations were being made Of course some care is expected to prevent waste, but the object is to get the amount of water used just as the farmer carries on his irrigation. Then we will gather information as to the of water carried by the canals at different periods, the amount at diff terent points in the canals from the head to the outlet, and the amount which goes to waste down the river. This wcrk will not only be of value here but throughout the west, lust as the observations taken in other states will be valuable for Arizona.
 I want to say, too, that you have q wonderful valley here, of boundIess possibilities. It seems marvellous tc me to be here in this balmy, spring air. when two weeks ago I was Tn a snow storm in Wyoming, and in another week will be back where spring has hardly started yet

INSURANCE COMPANIES INDICTED
Kentucky Enforcement of an Anti Trust Law Creates a Critical
 Situation.

Louisville, Ky, March 2S.-The Ken ton county grand jury at CovingtOn to- day returned indictments against the Home Life Insurance company of New York and forty-two other life and fire insurance companies for conspiracy, for banding together and fixing and maintaining a higher rate of premium than would otherwise prevail" The indictment is found under the anti trust laws, and this action of the grand jury may be followed by the with drawal of underwriters. The Girard county grand jury at Lancaster also indicted fourteen companies there against the protest of merchants, who are fearful lest the companies with draw and leave them without protec- ton.
 The companies have already with drawn from several counties where they have been indicted, and the situ- ation is reaching a stage where there is a prospect that the entire state will be abandoned If the companies are indicted in Louisville, and pressure Is brought to bear to have this done, there is little doubt but that all com Danies will withdraw.

HIS WIFE INTERCEDED
Her Forensic Ability Was Properly
 Recognized.

Robert Colliver, who lately arrived in town from San BernardIino on his way to Globe, got drunk and became so much of a nuisance on Monday night that he was thrown in. When he was brought into police court yesterday morning his wife appeared and made such an eloquent plea for him that the recorder let him off with a S5 fine. Another intoxicated prisoner was sit ting by waiting a hearing.
 'F'i had wife like zhat to make talk fer me it 'ud be nun n in'Pocket jest now he muttcred Shay, Judge!" he rose, addressing the court, !" If had 'oOman I'd go through h-.beg pardon, fire fur 'er," and he fell back in his chair and fell into sleep from which he was aroused with great difficulty.
 But Collivers troubles were not quite ended. In the money taken from him when he was arrested were three Vlle counterfeit silver dollars. There was enough good money to pay the fine, so it was no business of the po- lice court, and besides there is no law. municipal or other, against man
 oadlng himself down with counterfeit money. The offense is in trying to fn- Ject it into the arteries of commerce. and there was no evidence that Col liver had tried to do this. He was re- leased, but Deputy United States Mar shal Porterie hearing of this white man s burden, set out in search of him to inquire how he came by it.

<, FEW HEAR SENATOR MASON

Senator Mason made an anti-eXpan- sion address night before last at the Central Music hall The audience was q small one. This fact caused the speaker much painful surprise. He referred to it several times during his address. He had fancied that no hail would be large enough to hold a United States senator, speaking in his home city, on q topic which everybody was disc1esing so excitedly only short time ago. The senator lost sight of two things. One of them is that the retention of the Philippines is a res adjudicata.' It has been decided after much controversy, Wherein the mug wumPS did most of the talking and the people did most of the thinking, that the Philippines are not to be de- livered over to AgujnaldO, but are to be pacified and governed by the United States The matter having been settled thus, few people care to hear argu- ments explaining why it should have been settled otherwise. They are ali the less inclined to hear those argu
 ments because ther is nothing new in them. Senator Mason forgot also that there are few anti-eXpansiOnist in Chicago and in the west generally. The senaNpr has few sympathizers in his own D city. Since "'the incident Is closed" it is not necessary to discuss the senator's arguments. He said nothing but what he has said before,

TESTSOF IRRIGATION
Observations to Be Taken
 for inc Government.
Plan Is 10 Secure Information Thai Will Be Valuable fO IrrigatOrS, to Legislators and to inc Courts. EIWoOd Mead in Charge.

Mr. EIwoCd Mead, state engineer of Wyoming, and one of the most noted authorities on irrigation in America, arrived in the city yesterday, and last night drove to Mesa with MT. w. H. Code Mr Mead is here on an inn pcrtant mission for the government and when seen yesterday talked freely of the work he has in hand.
 Irrigation is so new in this country that there is very much to be learned about it and this is what the govern ment has set out to do. It is desired to learn the amount of water required to irrigate an acre of land for the various products that may Ibe raised, by care fuI system of accurate measurements; whether or not the amount of water may be lessened after irrigation has been in progress for a long time; how the water supply may best be con served and, in fact, gain all infOrma- tion that will be useful and instructive in the planning of works, in the framing of legislation, and for the guidance of the courts in the regula- -tiOn of irrigation in all the arid states.
 He nISJ 1OA IIlIo purpose was made two years ago but the sum was so small that not much was done. only $10,000 being appro priated. Secretary Wilson sent for me and asked me to organize a bureau to take charge of the work, but in view of the small sum at hand I refused and suggested that the bureau in charge Of the agricultural experimental stations already having a well organized force, could take care of the bureau work. The last congress voted SS5,009 more, though the secretary had asked for $50,00O. With this amount the work is being pushed ahead and a western station has been established at Chey- enne, of which I am in charge.
 Here in Arizona 1 find that you are accomplishing by common consent what in Wyoming we do under statute You have a water commissioner ap- pointed by the court, under the Kibbey decision, and yet you have no statuta providing for such an official or fixing his duties Thus far the plan has worked well

WHAT PEOPLE SAY. :

R. D. Daggs: The question of water storage will eventually resolve itself into an action by the government. don't believe private capital can be induced to undertake it. Where so much money is involved the resulting interest would be small. The farmers would have to pay that interest and when you take into consideration the amount of capital necessary to con- struct a reservoir system, it will ap- pear that they will not be able to pay tho interest. Whereas the scheme is practical as a government undertaking. The last congress appropriated $5G,- 900 for preliminary surveys and in vestigatiOns in desert tracts and if Arizona will properly make known her wants, the government will lend as sistance. Aid has been received in some sections which asked assistance the Indian bureau. 1 have been informed that there are 20,000 acres of fertile soil in the Indian reser- vatiOn east of Mesa, and an application asking the government to assist the Indians would probably meet with favor and it would be initial to greater consideration at the hands of Uncle Sam. There is nothing like try ing and I hope to sec more energy dis played in the direction of govern mental aid.

MAJOR JORDAN'S SUIT
A Second Action Begun Against
 MariCopa County.

Major T. C. Jordan yesterday filed another suit in district court against MaricOpa county to recover his salary as commissioner of immigration for this county A former action brought by Major Jordan is now pending in the supreme court, tc which it was taken on appeal by the defendant, Judge Sloan, before whom thei case was tried, having held the ex-commissioner's claim to be valid. The salary now sued for is no part of the claim in the former suit and action is now begun to prevent the running of limitation against the salary, which accrued since beginning of the first suit.
 Major Jordan was appointed com missioner on August 30, 1895, to sue ceed Florence J. O'Brien. His claims for salary were presented to the board of supervisors at various times and were rejected. At lsngth they were withdrawn and consolidated in one claim, embracing the whole period of his office to October of 1897. The pres ent suit includes claims for October, November and December of 1897, and from January, 1898, to September, 1898, both months inclusive. There is be side a claim for expense Of $15 for postage incurred during the first three of the above mentioned months. The whole amount sued for is $615.
