Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, &c make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Sample bottles free at T. H.

THE FIRST AUTOMOBILE
Was Invented and Used by L. D
 Copeland of Phoenix.

In these days of the automobile and its coming general use as a vehicle of utility and pleasure, it is interesting to know that the first motorcycle in the west, and probably the first one in the world, was invented and operated by Mir. L. D. Copeland of Phoenix.
 In 1886 and 'S7 Mir. Copeland was the owner of a Star bicycle, a machine of the high wheel. or ordinary" variety. Not satisfied with the slow speed ac- quired by the tiresome process of pro- pulsion by pedal motion, MT. Copeland constructed a small steam engine. to De operated by gasoline heat, and fastened wheelmen will remember that the Star had the small wheel in front and con- sequently the steam engine was placed on the "front-bone'" of the bike. di- rectly in front of the rider. As may be imagined, the heat and odor from the engine was not exactly pleasant to the rider, but MT. Copeland was able to get a very fair degree of speed from his queer machine. and on smooth roads could get into a pace of fifteen 10 eighteen miles per hour, a fast rate in those days. He took his invention through the states and exhibited it in all the large cities, but never succeeded in securing the interest of capital in his automobile.

FRozE WHILE OTHERS MELTED.
A Cattleman in Cold Storage for Two
 Hours on a Hot Day.

Philadelphia, July 25.-Aaron Shelby of Evansville, Ind, had an unpleasant experience here yesterday. While the rest of the people within the boundaries of the city wsre sweltering in the most intense heat of the year he was slowly freezing. He came hare with a lot of cattle which he shipped from his farm to the stockyards on the west side of the Schuylkill river. Cattlemln who have animals in the yard generally stay at the Stockyar5s hotel. which is within the stockyard enclosure. He had been through the various parts of the establishment and on his way back to the hotel lost his way. He asked one of the wOrkmen where the hotel was and the man told him t. go through the first large door," Shelby followed this dire cJion, but it was wrong and he got into the room in which thousands of pounds of ice is kept. Instead of coming out and making further inquiry he wandered back into the room, got into a dark passage and while working his way out the entrance was shut and he was left in darkness. Two hours passed before the door was again opened and the greater part of that time he had been shouting for help. The temperature of the apartment is below the freezing point and when he was found Shelby was Frightened and half frozen.

NEW DAY FOR THE HORSE
He Is Regaining Something of His
 0ld-Time Value.

For the first time in years the owners of horses in the west and particularly the northwest, are permitted to look upon the herds as a negotiable asset. The old eXpedients-doubtless eXagger- ated-of shooting a too numerous cay use population in order to protect the \, ranges, of killing horses for their hides, Snd 'of feeding the carcases of worth less equines to the hogs, are already passed into the realm of the improb- able. once more the wild steeds that roam a thousand hills are tossing their names and scenting the market from afar and the weanling colt hears the ominous whirr of the lasso and feels the scorching impress of the hot brand of ownership. Time was when the coly was not worth the branding and the elder horse was permitted to graze un- fearful of the annual roundup until death transported him to the evergreen pastures of horse heaven. That time has passed. Once more the range-rider is busted in the search of long-absent horses. and the branding and shipping corrals are filled with the once despis@d animals. The horse buyer is abroad in the land and the transactions in horse flesh are assuming prOdigious propor- tions.
 And all this enlivenment of an erst- while dead industry is welcome. Fur thermore, it has the appearance of hav- ing come to stay. And, too. there has been notable increase in horse val ues-100 per cent in many instances over the quotations of last year. and there is a ready sale now for animals that could not have been given away d year ago. Of course, many owners of large herds, who have held on for years simply because they could find no mar ket, are taking advantage of the de- mand and are dispOsing of their hold ings in bulk at any price offered.

BLACK HILLS MINES
A Short Talk With the President
 About Them.

MT. R. A. Thomas, president of the Black Hills Copper company, limited, of JerCme, Ariz.. returned to Los Angeles last week from the mines. MT. Thomas reports to the Mining Review tha [ never at any time in it's history has there been so much work going on in the Verde district as at tne present time, nor is there anything, he says, of superficial character about the work, it is good, solid work bound to be pro- ductive of substantial results.
 Asked about work at the Black Hills mines he replied that everything was going along in the most satisfactory manner. We have been taking out a considerable quantity of good ore in our development work" he said, and we are now going to put in, if we find what We want, a small jacket to re- duce the ore we are taking out. There are good gold and silver in it outside of the copper, and it will pay us better to work it ourselves than to ship it. Our. property is proving itself up in better shape every day. We know that we have a big mine"

Hardly a week passes without record
 ing a sale of whole herds, numbering from 800 to 1000. From indications for the future it seems evident that this wholesale retirement from the busi- ness is an error on the part of the herd owners. They are giving up on the eve of an era of prosperity. Never theless. it means greateh profits for those who choose to wait.
 There are several causes that have operated for the future benefit of the horse industry. Because of a profitless market. breeding operations have been practically suspended for years on the great ranges. and owners have not even taken the trouble to brand their in crease. In the farming sections of the east the horse production has been linn ited to the demands of the farm and of the normal market for driving and draught horses. This materially re- duced the reserve supply of animals for sale, and when our own war drew several thousand head into the service of the army, there was an immediate prospect of shortage. Then came the British-Boer war. which, up to date, is said to have destroyed 50O00 horses. England has been compelled to LOOK 10 America for her cavalry mounts, and orders for many thousand heads of horses that will fill the cavalry require ments are in the hands of eastern agents. The east has been secured to fill the order The drivers. the saddlerS and the first class farm horses have passed from the hands of the eastern breeders, and their places must be filled by horses from the ranges. The anxious inquiries of the stock yards and commission men for western horses in dicate the strong tone of the market, and their expressed willingness to buy anything" is proof positive that there will be a sale for all sorts and condi- tiOns of equines. Added to this is dn almost phenomenal soaring of prices for trottingb bred animals and fancy drivers.
