The engineers on the Chicago
flyer seem to take great pleas
ure is seeing how fast they can
pull their train through this

hour is a little swift seems to us.
! We are in receipt OF a copy OF
the program Of the commence
ment exercises of the Phoenix
Indian school. The entertain
ment will undoubtedly be very
interesting, and the printers art
is shown to good advantage in
the printing of the program.
A. F. Potter has resigned his
position as secretary of the Wool
Growers Association, and J. B.
Patterson has been appointed to
fill the vacancy. Mr.. Potter has
been a painstaking and hard
working official, and in his re-
signation the association loses
one of its best members.
"Tony the Convict" which
was to have been played here
this week has been postponed,
owing to the absence of some of
the parties who were to take
part. Wednesday night, May
18th, is the date now fixed and
the management informs us that
the play will be followed with a
iaughable after-piece entitled,
"The Fellow That Looks Like
Me-" The entertainment will be
even better than before. You
will miss it, if you miss it.
We notice by the Prescott and
Jerome papers that a big strike
has been made in Venture Hill, a
copper mine in that district, and
ore which assays 80 per cent has
been found in large quantities.
On his way home from Califor-
mia F. ]. Wattron was lucky
enough to purchase a small
block of this stock, but did not
realize how fortunate he was
until reaching Ash Fork when
he learned about the new find.
We hope to see Frank receive
large returus from his invest
ment.

next Tuesday.
The question of license or no IL

mitted to the voters at the coming
election. The friends of temperance
and good order should make it point
to be on hand and cast their ballots
against it. The welfare of the com

to strike liquor traffic blow.

Physicians Says It Ought SOt to

II don't see why, such 4 hullabaloo
is made about the smallpox, anyway. Z
said 2 prominent physician. .@It s + is. 8.
not nearly 90 contagious as many
other diseases, and even if II was I.
would q great deal rather be i'll with
il than with some other diseases, such
as the diptheria, pneumonia or
typhoid fever. The. smallpox IS ono
of the least contagious Of diseases.
Not long ago a doctor in Appleton,
Wis, propoundet the theory that
smallpox is not contagious at all, and
to prove it he smeared his hands
and clothing all over with smallpox
virus and went down the street shak-
ing hands with everybody and brush
ing his clothes in the crowds and
among his friends. Well, he did not
get the disease nor did any Of the
people he had smeared With the virus.
Whether. or not this proved that
smallpox is not contagious, the fact,
still remains that it is not 60 contagi-
GUS as people suppose, and the NOR
tality is very low. Leprosy isanothel
disease that is supposed to be- very
contagious, and they isolate those
afflicted with it most carefully, but
investigation has shown that it is
very difficult to transmit the disease
even by actual contact. = ,,. <&.,5 =

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 of bill
ioueness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stay fer
mentation of undigeeted food, ,egu-
late 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, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter

The industrial interests of this
country demand the continuance
of q we'll considered Tariff policy
just as our unprecedented war ex-
penses made an income revenue
indispensable. No more revenue
should be collected, however,
than will suffice for needs: Any
greater sum is unjusti6able tax

reasons. The late action looking

To Pump Their Water.

"A report was published in these
columns that the Omaha railroad
company was negotiating for the pur-
chase of property on the lake shore.
Another report is now current that
they desire to put in a pumping sta
tion for supplying their water used
here, from the lake, as the city water
now used was costing too much.
OF course the railroad controls it's
own business but where would they
be if the lake went dry7 further, the
city has expended a large amount of
money to maintain the present stage
of water, otherwise the lake would
now be dry. In this expenditure the
city would virtually be supplying the
company with water.

The Steam Laundry.

J. H. Blume now expects to get his
steam laundry ready to start Friday.
He has had to do a great deal of
work in remodeling the old building,
but now has it in nice convenient
shape for the new business. He has
several pieces of machinery and all
that is necessary at present, conduct
ing the business with dispatch and
satisfaction. He expects a wagon in a
short time, for gathering up the laun-
dry about the city from any point.
After everything gets to running in
good shape basket business with
surrounding towns will be inaugerated.
It is hoped the venture will prove
successful and it will, if the people of
town will give him their patronage.

A Chicago physician announces
that the indelible pencil which
makes a blush mark is poisonous
when brought into contact with
an abrasion of the skin, and may
cause death. From the cases
which he cites, it is a fair infer
ence that even salt, which another
Chicago physician announced a
few weeks ago as an elixir of life,
is powerless as an antidote against
the terrible indclible pencil.
