physician and tells him story but the whole story
She holds something back, loses her head. becomes

Is it any wonder therefore, that the doctor fails To

it is very embarrassing 70 detail Of the symptoms Of
her suffering to her family physician It was for
this that years ago Mrs Lydia E. Pnham at Lynn
Mass, determined to step and help her Having had
considerable experience in treating female ills with her
Vegetable Compound she encouraged the women of Amer
lea to write to her for advice in regard to their complaints
and being woman it easy for her ailng sisters to
pour into her ears every detail of their suffering
In this way she able to do for them what the plv
sicians unable to do, simply because she had the
proper information work upon and from the little group
of women who sought her advice years ago great army
of her fellow beings today constantly appvng for
advice and relief and the that more than one hundred
thousand Of them have been successfully treated by Mrs
PlGkham during the last year is indicative the grand
results which produced by her equaed experience
and training.
No physician in the world has had such training or
has such amount Of information at hand assist IN the
treatment Of all kinds Of female ills from the SIMPLEST
local irritation TO the complicated diseases of the
womb.
This, therefore, is the reason why Mrs. Pinkham in
her laboratory at Lynn Mass able to do for the

Water Consumption.

The Huachuca Water Company states that it will be necessary :o turn of the water on portions of each day, until there are rains. This is not due to the failure of the supply, so the general agent says, but to the excessive and reckless use made of it. MT. Brearly is authority for the following compre- hensive statement of water consump- tion. The figures show in gallons the per capita daily use in towns named: Prescott, 50 gallons; Phoenix, l25; San Diego, Cal, IF; San Francisco, Cal, |, P; Detroit, Mich., 133; Los Angeles, Cal, l5O; Tombstone, 321. "Upon the basis of Prescott's 50 gallons per day." said Mir. Brearly, Tombstone would be using 35,OOO gallons per day. The present consumption is about 225, 900 gallons, the largest portion of which is wasted. ."-TOmbstone Prospector.

Tho Sarne Old Story.

J. A. Kelly relates an experience similar to that which has happened in almost every neighborhood in the United States and has been told and retold by thousands of others. He says: "Last summer had an attack of dysen- tery and purchased bottle of Cham berlain's Collie, cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which 1 used according to directions and with entirely satisfac- tory results. The trouble was con- trolled much quicker than former at- tacks when used other remedies" Mir. Kelly is well-known citizen of Henderson, N. c. For sale at the Pio- neer Drug Store.

THE FIRST SETTLEMENT OF
 FLAGSTAFF.
BY J. M. ERSKINE.

IeW provisions ana some ten men, OfOVt up to the spring on what is now MT John Clark's place, about half mile north of town. There was similar party already camred there, whicf had arrived some four days previous This was the first and second install ments of the Atlantic & Pacific Rail road Company's surveying corp, O which the writer was a member, Mir Kingman being the chief.
 It did not take the twenty men long to know each other, and in short time all were enjoying themselves. as the weather was simply delightful, and we enjoyed the fine fresh water, something we had not had in very long time.
 The writer had started for Tomb. stone the fall before, but along in Jan uary, on the way to Silver City, N. M., the Apache Indians caught the next stage to me, and as the Indians were worse farther west, came to the con. clusion that Colorado was good enough for me. But upon reaching Albu. querque the opportunity presented itself to join the A. & P. survey corps in Arizona.
 The next day we went out to the then terminus of the railroad, which was at Bluewater, N. NJ. The day following our stock came out, and after day spent in fitting harness, dividing loads and crews, the long drive was com menced. It came to the writer to be one of the first to herd the stock at night. This was not very pleasant job, as rustlers were getting in their work whenever they could. Besides there were some Navsjoes that were none too good to steal horses. only lost two horses that oight: but from that time on l was not called on to stand guard.
 We left the Little Colorado with all the water we could haul, hoping that when we got to Diablo canyon we would find plenty. Upon arriving at that point we found only a small amount, and the rocks were simply alive with rattlesnakes. We concluded to leave the water to them, and dealt out to each animal one bucketful of water, a small amount for tired ami mals. The next morning we did the same, then made as rapid drive as as we could to Turkey Tanks, where we found plenty of water.
 The next day we struck the site of what is now the city of Flagstaff. This being the division on which we were to work, all hands turned to hauling ties from where the lumber mill now stands to build our quarters, there being some dozen Mormon families there that the famous John w. Young had sent there few weeks prior to cut ties at 15 cents each-bacOn at 40 cents pound.
 Then it began to snow, and we kept in our tents. The tents were none too good, and we had to keep busy to keep warm. Luckily we had good supply of blankets. The storm kept up for two weeks and there was over two feet of snow on the level. The storm hav- ing stopped our freight, provisions be- gan to run low, and MT. Kingman started with two four-horse teams for Prescott, then about the only town in Arizona outside of Tucson, and after an absence of some two weeks returned with a good supply.
 We commenced our work by first laying out the bridge over the canyon

 dozen tired mules. We informed him that was our private water supply and that he must hunt elsewhere for water. "Private be d-d," he said. He was going to water his famishing mules at that spring; without trouble if he could, but nevertheless they were going to be watered there. We took him at his word, as he was just that kind of fel- low.
 The spring in what is now Old Town came near causing bloodshed the night before left. The graders had teams with tanks going all over the country hunting water.
 A little circumstance came up that gave me chance to quit and get to Albuquerque. I accepted tn e chance, as one of the main objects of my com ing out was to see what the outlook was for mineral, and my partner, who had returned from trip about Prescott and that country. reported that on ac- count of the scarcity of water it would take years to develop claim, so l threw up the sponge and started back east.
 The day before I started the first saloon was opened, just short way east of our spring. we having made our quarters near where John Clark's stables are now. We had the high toned residence of the country, being ties set on end, with wagon-sheet covers for roof and pine boughs for a carpet, also for bed springs.
 With plenty of the best provisions the company could furnish us, we lived high, and were able to help now and then some poor Mormon family, for I never saw people much poorer than the John w. Young people were.
 made the trip to Brigham City with one set of Mormon freighters, then made contract to Holbrook section, and finally caught another outfit that carried me to the end of the road, near where Gallup must now stand. I re- member an experience near Navajo Springs that might have cost us our lives had it not been that we used eau tion all through the country.
 Our party consisted of five men and two women, all we'll armed. The water had been used up at the springs by big bull outfit, so we were directed on to Squaw Springs, only mudhole, occupied by some renegade Navajoes and their stinking goats. We gave them five dollars in silver to let us oc- cupy the place for the night. Before dark they came to camp to trade for arms, offering everything they had. But we refused to sell, and made them leave. That night we had two men out with the stock and one on watch at the camp, besides good dog. Prob ably had we not used good care and been well armed we might have been up with the angels now.
 I was thankful to arrive at Albu- querque, and when the company offered me 8 section about where Ash Fork stands now I simply declined with thanks.
 But now, twenty years later, Flag. staff is one of the handsomest towns in the Southwest, and where the timber at that time was heavy and the poor Mormons were camped making ties at starvation rates, now stands the hand some Northern Arizona School. We didn't know of any cliff dwellers nor of the ice caves. We did not realize at

TWO STATES CLAIM IT.
Mississippi River Annexes First
 Capital of Illinois to Missouri.

New York Commercial Advertiser
 The ancient town of Kaskaskia is the butt of the contention between the States or Illinois and Missouri, the former as- sertins that it Is in it's territory, the lat ter asserting that a higher power than that of man has taken it away Kas- kaskia was the first capital of Illinois and until the great rise in the Mississippi a few years ago there was no question about its being in that State. At that time the great river, discontented with it sold bend, started in to make a new one, and when it finished it's work Kas- kaskia found the river had severed it from it's native State.
 The question that has arisen is whether the Mississippi is the boundary line be- tween Missouri and Illinois, whatever it's meandering course may be, or whether the boundary follows the course the river took when the line was originally made Illinois is naturally loath to lose any territory, especially when that territory contains it's most historic town; and Mis- souri doesn't want to give up anything that has come to her of its own accord like kaskaskia. There Is political question involved that heightens the in- terest of the controversy. Kaskaskia itself is overwhelmingly Democratic, so much so that 1t made the county in which it was Democratic. If 1t is decided that the town is in Missouri, Illinois will have one more Republican county than if now has.
