AFTER ARTISAN WATER.

For some time efforts have been made to obtain artesian water in the San Simon plains east of the Graham mountains. Recently . number of wells have been sunk with good success, and there is one well in that district which is said to have flow of 37 ,000 gallons ev- cry twenty four hours.
 Professor Forbes has just return. ed from Q visit to the San Simon country and the upper Gila. He says that artssian water has been secured in some places on the up- per Gila, close to the foothills. where the ranchers hopc to make profitable ranch homes. The prox- imity to the mountains adds to the value of the location for the pro. duction of early vegetables and fruits. The raising of watcrmef- ems in the Arizona valleys has be- come an important industry, and the rancbers of tho Gila hope to get their melons on the market sev. erai weeks earlier than others less favorably Located.-Citizen.

what suseratnty Ts.

Tn speech delivered at Urbroath. Scotland, on September last, John Morley, the great liberal leader, said And this brings me to the word suzer- ainty- It is said that we have suzer- airty over the South African republic. Sir Alfred Miner said there is nothing in this controversy as to whether we have suzerainty or not-nothinR ma terial. My own view of suzerainty is that it is a werd which nobody of course can define, but it has got flavor of sovereignty Tn it, and yet it is not sovereignty; and that the Boers hate the word because it has got that flavor in 1t, and the war party in the Cape and in other places like the word because they hope to fmpaFt into it something or another which may enable them un- der mask Of sovereignty to do things which l think they had better not do" IN. r.

 As the storage of bicycles in Paris during the winter months is expensive, a great many Parisians pawn their ma chimes in the Mont-de-Piete, or state pawnshop.

Besides as the pawnshops cannot say for certain that the bicycles will be reclaimed, they have to keep them in good order, so that they will fetch 8 satisfactory price should they be placed on the market.

Death of . Carrier PiReon.


 Acarrier pigeon met with an untimely end in midlake off Racine recently, and its message will never be delivered. As the Byron Whitaker steamed up Lake Michigan Capt. Lewis Elliott noticed a pigeon which seemed to be tired out trying to reach the vessel. The bird was surrounded by flock of seagulls, which seemed to be bent on keeping it from reaching the boat. Finally the bird succeeded in getting away from it's termentors, and came toward the Whitaker with great speed. It alighted on the top of the smoke stack, was instantly overcome by the heat and fell inside. So interested was Capt. Elliott in his visitor that he had the breechiDg of the boiler removed, but the bird was dead before it was reached. A message tied to it's right leg had been burned off. On the left leg was a silver ring with the marks "G sss."-Chicago Evening News.

RAISED A GREAT ROW
TROUBLE FOR POSTAL AUTHOR
TIES.
An Iowa Girl Indignant Because She Does
Not Get Letters From Her Lover In
the philippines, Who Was Today to
Write.

The Postoffice Department has re-
Gently beer stirred up In a remarkable
name by a young woman in Iowa.
She happens to have a lover in one of
the regiments now on duty In the Phil
ippine islands, and recently made COM
plant of the inefficiency of the postal
service, directed to the postmaster gen
eral and also to the member of Con.
gress from the district in which she
lives. She was boiling with Indignation
because she had written twenty-fo,.r
times to her lover in the Philippines
and had received no reply; indeed, she
had not heard a word from him since
his departure on Ii troopshlp from
San Francisco, and was confident that
he had written her regularly, as he had
promised to do, and that his letters had
either been destroyed or were lying i'm
some corner where they had been over
looked or were lost on the way, or that
he had been killed by the Filipinos and
General Otis had neglected to report
his death. She denounced the expan-
sion policy of the administration, de
clared that 1t was a cruel and a wicked
war and demanded hat her lover
should be sent home at once.
As the young lady's father is a per
son of some prominence in n political
a the congressman took up the mat
Ter with the Postoffice Department. and
a cablegram was sent to the superin-
tendent of the postal service In the
Philippine islands at the cost of So n
word, ordering an investigation.
The report has just been received.
The special agent to whom the case
was assigned says that he found the
girls lover without any difficulty, en-
.joying good health and an average
state of happiness. He promptly admit
ted that he had received a lot of let
tiers from his sweetheart in Iowa-he
couldn't remember whether the exact
lumber was twenty-three or twenty
four-but they had come in punches by
every transport and had been duly de
1ivered at the camp of his company.
He also acknowledged with equal can-
dol that he had not answered any of
them because the weather was too hot,
n he wasn't much of n writer, any
how. He liked to receive letters, but
hated to answer them, and declared
that he had told the girl so before he
left home. Therefore he did not see
why she was making such n fuss about
it. He would write her by the next
mail and scold her for making an Off
cial matter of their love affair.
A copy of the report was sent to the
member of Congress, with the request
that he forward it to the young lady

Mr.. Moody as a Harmonizer of the sects
As for Mr.. Moody's important share
in throwing down barriers between
Protestant churches and pastors in
Great Britain and this country, there
can be IN little doubt Of IL. He always
stipulated that the arrangements for
his evangellstic or revival services
should be strictly on n union basis. AS
a result, in Scotland, the split P.s"
among the Presbyterians found them
selves working side by side with each
other. In England low-church Angli-
ans and non-conformists worked side
by side. In this country the same
merging process went on. And as a
matter of course men who found they
could labor together in this way soon
found they could labor together in
other ways. The influence of the as
semblies at Mortified also has tended
to unity sects and throw down fences

The Danger of Catarrh Ointmcnts That
Contain Mercury.

Contain mercury.
This journal, although more particu-
larly devoted to all that interests
finance, commerce and manufacture
Ing, is nevertheless always awake to
the need and wants of Its readers, let
the subject be what 1t may. We were
asked to investigate and report upon
the merits of the various catarrh rene
dies on the market. The production
ton cannot, unfortunately, be stopped
or restricted at present. or until our
state legislatures can be induced to
pass such suitable and stringent laws
as will effectua1ly prevent their ap-
pearance on the market. In the mean
time. the people must look out for
themselves. In this matter, We have
made a most careful n ~painstaking
investigation. realizing the confidence
that would be placed in cur reply. Our
medical staff employed to make such
Investigations were most ~favorably
impressed with the preparation known
as Halls catarrh cure, manufactured
by F. j. Cheney & Co. of Toledo, Ohio.
and agreed that this peerless remedy
deserves our highest Endorsement.
Many of the catarrh remedies on the
market contain mercury, which de-
stroys the sense of smell and deranges
the whole system when entering
through the mucous surfaces. From
analysis we found hat Halls catarrh
cure contains no mercury. 1t is taken
Internally. acting directly Upon the
