The pool inside lhe enclosure is

WOlneH coming lIOm tDS NdtICg below, packing their linen on burros, to wash it at tue pool.
 The upper hot spring emerges from the side of the caion about a hundred feet above the bottom, there being several outlets which unite few feet below, and flow into a walled enclosure which was once he reservoir of an old mill, the ruins of which are visible. The water flows into and through the wheel chamber a stone arched room ten or twelve feet in width and about twenty feet long. The stream which comes through the wall at a height ot about three feet above the gravelly bottom of the room, flows constantly about twenty-five miners inches, and is quite hot, but not to any inconvenience to the bather, who can sit beneath the stream a minute or more without discomfort. Like the hotter spring below the waters carry all the medicinal pro- perties enumerated, and are oi great value. Their use is sure cure for rheumatism, and all skin and blood diseases.
 About a mile up the canon are the cold springs, up side canon, but short distance away from the main gorge. The road up which carriage can be easily driven all the way from Aconchi, terminates in a lofty cliff, nearly perpendicular yet sloping back a little, with narrow shelves or stepping places in the rock easily climbed by the foot passenger. At height ofabout a hundred feet there is a shelt about twenty feet wide, beneath deep alcove in the cliff above, which towers overhead 10 a lo:ty height, shading a goodly part of the shelf all the time. Here are plainly seen the slate dykes, but a foot or two in thickness cutting through the solid granite, the cold fresh, soft water flowing out from the upper contact in several pl ,ces, and filling a large pool that with a little work, shoveling out the accumulation of sand, would make a gigantic bowl twenty feet or more in width, and of what depth it would require ex- cavation todetermine. Two or three hundred feet above is another such spot, easily reached by climbing. Several weeks during the rainy season the water comes tumbling over the face of the cliff, beautiful cataract.
 Ill the Aconchi mountains beyond lies hunters paradise. Aconchi peak, the second highest in Sonora, rises to hcight of over 5000 feet, and the sides and summits of the range are covered with a heavy growth of oak and pine timber, where bears, deer. wolves, noun tain lions, grouse, etc. eau be found

CATARRi

Catarrh has become such common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. 1t is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, in fact, complicated and
very dangerous disease; If not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they do
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S.
does. 1t cleanses the blood of the poison
and eliminates from the system all catar-
rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly
and permanently the worst cases.

ANOTHER QUESTION Is UP
Women Declare ar on Billiard
Rooms at Clearwater

The Nation" war upon everything
that is Objectionable has taken a new
turn and the efforts Of the wreckers are
now directed to the destruction of billiard
and pool rooms.
At a meeting held at Clearwater Thurs
day night which was attended by farm
ers, men and women, within a radius of
seven miles, the only two tontsts Of the
township were notified that they would
be given until 10 o'clock Friday to close
their places or they would be wrecked
with axes by women raiders. Frank
Spader took heed of the warning and re-
moved the liquor to place of safety as
did also the other jointist. Cosky Lee
dom, and consequently when the women
made a thorough examination yesterday
morning nothing that was obnoxious as
far as liquor was concerned, was found
in the two places.
In addition to running bar, Cosky
Leedom also conducts a billiard and pool
room. This the women also ordered to
be closed up tight and gave the proprie-
tor until l o'clock to do So Leedom,
however, said that he is paying both a
federal and city tax and consequently
Cputu Lpl DC tOHipclltu 10 QllL the buS4-
ness. The women insisted that unless
the place was closed by the hour men
toned they would carry out their threat
This fact was communicated to Mayor
Bacon and the latter delegated John Pet
erson to 90 TO Wichita and consult with
the county attorney regarding the mat
ter and ascertain Just what right pro-
prietor of a billiard room has under the
laws of tho state. In the absence of
County Attorney Comfy, Attorney Sam
Amidon and Assistant County Attorney
Henry W. Huffman informed them that
as long as the licenses were paid they
have a legal existence and would be
protected under the law from any vio-
lence as much as in any other merchant
This fact wa simmediately telegrapiied
to Mayor Bacon and the latter in anti
cpation Of an assault by the women,

CHANGES WERE MANY
Wichita Subjected to All
Kinds of Weather.
STREETS ARE ICE COVERED
Or. Johnson Predicts Warmer
Weather by Tomorrow
STREETS ARE ICE COVERED

Wichita people were treated to num-
Der Of different kinds Of weather yes
terday and as a result It was hard to
find citizen who was at all appreciative.
All day it stormed ana continually got
colder During the previous night it
misted and rained and yesterday morning
there was considerable snow on the
ground before dinner time. The ineom-
ing train men reported heavy falls OF
snow west and north and the coaches
looked as though they had been in the
far north.
About noon the weather changed and
the wind came down from the north with
more force than ever before. During the
afternoon the STREETS which had been Stop
py from the melting snow began to get
slippery as the water froze and the snow
became ice coated. More than one horse
went down on the pavements and the
people were very careful as they walked
along the walks or across the streets
The clouds hung low and il was a
dreary day in all sense OF the word Very
few people were in the city from the
outside and business men had an easy
time yesterday The restaurants and
lunch rooms were we'll patronized for the
man of business did not care to go home
through the storm to spend the lunch
hour with his family.
During the evening the temperature
went lower and pedestrians went of Of
the street. They didn't stand around on
the corners as usual and BY 10 O'Clock
very few people were stirring on the
streets, Before midnight the clouds dis
appeared and the moon came up in the
east shining down upon city and country
alike The ice and snow shone under
the briniancy Of the moon and the city
took on an appearance which predicted
that it was cold.
The temperature did not fall as low as
was predicted, but for all of that it was
cold and raw. 1t was one OF those dis
agreeable days. A day which makes a
person wish to have a warm room with
plenty Of literature to read. Wichita
people had that feeling and last night
they did not venture out unless forced 70.
The street cars did a good business and
went along Just the same as though
there was not storm any place IN ran
sas. During the afternoon salt was used
in several placest clear out some of
the snow on portions Of the track,
but otherwise there was not much trouble
in that respect,
Many of the trains last night were
late This was on account Of the storm
in the north Visitors here from the east
and north reported a very heavy snow
fall and when they arrived in this city
were surprised that Wichita did not have
more snow than what had fallen
DR.. Johnson predicts that the storm
will be over by Sunday and that Wichita
people VIII not have any more inconven-
fence from this spell of weather. Tho
chances are that the temperature win not
fall very low at the present time
The ice men have been wishing for
cold weather. The ice men referred to are
men who handle natural Ice. A drop OF
3 number Of degrees prolonged for a day
or so would be Of much benefit to them.

swore in several deputy marshals who
were to preserve the peace II the event
the women would attempt to carry out
their threat
Whether upon calmer consideration
they decided that it would not be just
the thing TO destroy the property OF
billiard room, or the knowledge that they
would be opposed in a determined man
ner by officers Of the law caused the
raiders TO change their purpose is not
known. At any rate the threated raid
did not materalize UP 70 a late hour last
night though tn ewomen say that they
win yet carry out their original purpose
The meeting held at the township were
presided over by former county sheriff,
H r. Watt. Mrs. G. bloomfield. wife Of
the city marshal and Mrs. R. Q. Culver
were the leaders Of the women who had
banded together for the purpose Of fol-
lowing in Carrie Nations footsteps. The
billiard and pool tables are now under
the personal protection Of the mayor and
he states that as he is backed up by
the county officials he viii protect the
property come what may. Just what
became of the liquors in the two joints
is not known. People, who came from
Clearwater last night stated that several
kegs of beer and cases of whisky had
been taken to the railroad station as
though for the purpose Of shipping the
same back to the wholesaler. In order
to be certain that none Of the goods was
hidden about the two saloons it is said
the women procured lights and made q
careful examination Of the cellars. but no
contraband goods were found
