A WISE DRUGGIST.
For $500 He Guarantees to Do That
for Which n Lady Offers Him 800.

for Which Lady Offers Him 800.
Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. Is, 1901
Especial. )-Some two years ago local
druggist engaged in a transaction
which was in it's details somewhat re-
markable. He was visited by Miss
Anna P. Nichols, who had a Doctors
prescription for rheumatism, which the
druggist was filling. In the course of
conversation the good lady said:. Il
would give one hundred dollars to get
WELL"
He Immediately replied: "Give me
five dollars and I will guarantee to cure
you.''
She agreed, and he at once handed
her box of Dodd's Kidney Pills, say
ing: "They are SOC a box. Two boxes
may cure you, but 1 am quite sure that
ten will"
Miss Nichols tells the story as fol-
lows: ''Dodd's Kidney Pills are verit-
able life preservers. I was troubled for
five years with rheumatism, so that at
times my right arm seemed paralyzed
and I could only walk with difficulty,
and could not go out of doors if the air
was damp or cold. I took so much
medicine that I think my system was
poisoned rather than helped. One day
when my druggist was putting up q
prescription for me I remarked that I
would give one hundred dollars for
remedy that would make me better"
Give me five dollars and will guar
hntee to cure you,' he said. I readily
agreed, and he handed me a box of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, saying: They are
SOC a box. Two boxes may cure you,
but I am sure that ten will I left my
prescription intact, and, instead, took
these Pills, and I found them, as I
said before, to be veritable life pre-
servers. Before had finished the Sec
ond box I had my first perfect nights
rest in years. I gradually improved. I
had determined to use the ten boxes
before would give up, but imagine
my surprise to find that before half
that quantity was used I was COM
pletely cured. This was two years ago,
md I have not had twinge SINCE"

spected ladies in Kansas City, and her

SEVEN DEVILS TRAMWAY.
Will Be Over Three Miles Long and
Handle 200 Tons a Day.

Almost every day important move.
ments are taking place looking to the
advancement of the famous Seven Dew.
liz district. Aside from the welcome
news that the =. |. 4 n. railroad will
immediately begin building its line to
this camp, nothing has created II greater
interest than the fact that the Boston 4
Seven Devils Copper company will be-
gin constructing the big eriel tramway
from their famous Peacock properties to
the railway in Landore. The railway
terminus for the line will be immedi.
ately north of Hotel Landore, near the
bins just completed ut the Decorah
mine. The location is splendid one as
II very great saving will be made in the
construction Of the big bins.
Mr.. William Dusedau, of Denver, rsp-
rcsenting the well-known Dusedau Wire
Ropeway and other systems Of erial
transportation, has been here several
days looking over the ground and max.
ing full Investigations. His work was
very thorough and his reports will be
submitted to his companies, the outcome
Of which are anxiously watched.
The line will he about three and
half miles in length and will have three
stations, one ut each end and the third
somewhere near the center. To COM
plete this very important project it will
require from 80 to 75 men, about IOO,.
900 feet Of lumber, besides the immense
amount Of other material needed. A
very great saving will be made in its
construction, from the fact that the lum.
ber, etc, can be manufactured on the
ground. II is expected to have the
line in operation within ninety days.
The ca. .acity ut first will be 100 tons per
day, but will be increased as require

mean tremendous saving to the Boston

then be transported from the mines to

WASHED AWAY TRACK
Heavy Flood Tears Up Part of the M.
 & P. Line.

A very heavy rain storm, which, in it's results bore semblance to cloud- burst. created great havoc to the road bed of the Maricopa & Phoenix rail- way. Thursday night and Friday morn ing. Several miles of track below Tempe were destroyed and all traffic will be delayed for several days.
 It is not generally known, but the heaviest rainfall in this valley usually occurs at the east end of the Phoenix range of mountains. Why such is the case remains to be solved. The flood washes down the rocky sides of the hills. onto a mesa, and then beats against the bed of the M & P. The rainfall Thursday night was terrific in the last mountain in the east end of the south hills and great flood poured over the track.
 Early yesterday morning Superinte- dent B. F. Porter received a message from Charles M. Hay. president of the Southern Pacific railroad. saying that his train was unable to get past Ky rene. and that he had returned to Mar icopa and would go on to Los Angeles. postponing his visit to Phoenix Mr. Porter went to the scene of the trouble at once and put a large gang at work repairing the track. The regular train was delayed on the Kyrene side of the wash-out. but passengers and mail were transferred and brought to Phoe- nix in the afternoon.

that should make little white boys and girls hustle if they want to keep Ip with the times. Six little boys seem- ingly about six or seven years old. and all dressed alike, came out. made their bow and sang a song with a whistling chorus that was just as good as any, thing ever done by white children of that age and great deal better than most of them can do. This is remark able when it is considered that they not only had to be taught the song. but first had to be civilized and taugh. the language.
 They were followed by company of children even smaller, dressed like grasshoppers, jumping like grasshop- pers. and singing a grasshopper song. Jerry Horne sang another funny ssng and Myra Valenzuela and William Manuel, two disgusted little school children, sang a song. the motto of which was that they would rather do anything than go to school, where they could have no fun. ''rhe Gypsy Countess" was q duet by the two who played the leading parts. It was sung in costume. and not only the singing. but the acting was good [,
 The fourth and last scene represent ed the farm house after supper. when the ncighbors had gathered and all par ticlpatsd in songs, jokes and repartee, with Farmer Happyway throwing n an occasional bit of advice and 'son''il philosophy.
 The musical numbers were "Off to Philadelphia" by Augustine Sedllo; "Steadfast, My Heart" by Kay Eth elba. a very difficult and well rendered bass solo, and Forest Ecioes," by the full chorus.
 Myra Valenzuela, Biviana Gitierrez and Gertrudes Casaus sang In costume, "Nymphs of tlle Ocean Spray" very beautifully; the chorus sang Dear Old Home." and Lizzie Wolf sang Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" the little ones were put to bed ana the full chorus rendered Good Night" after & pleas ing little curtain talk by Mariana Sllvas.
 The orchestra played a number of very choice selections between the scenes anc also ass isted the piano iri the accompaniment tor the vocal num- bers.
 The entertainment was one that re- flected great credit upon the teachers who have hac the training of these pupils, and one thing parlicaarly>no mo- ticeable and which is in contrast to many entertainments in schools and churches. was the clear ionunciatlon of the children. even the tiniest ones who took part. They may know but little English. but what they do know they seem to have mastered thoroughly and are bothered little with stage fright. They can talk just as clearly in public as .hey can anywhere.
