COSMOPOLITAN SPECIAL EDITION
4 Pan American Number Which is h. tended to Eclipse Former
 Editions of Mad tnes.

The sale of thousands of copies of a
 ten-cent magazine at one dollar apiece
 was a very curious happening at the
 time of the Chicago Worlds Fair.
 The Cosmopolitan prepared Worlds
 Fair number, contributed to by many famous writers, and so thoroughly il- lustrated that it surpassed even the most expensive book which had up to that time been issued. In those days the magazine was printed from two sets of plates only, and when these were worn out it was impossible, with out great loss of time, to put fur ther editions on the press. The news dealers, taking advantage of this con dition, raised the price of the Cosmo- politan's Worlds Fair number to one dollar copy. 4 few sales were even made toward the close at the phenom- enal figure of five dollars. Undoubt- edly this happening is unique in the history of magazine literature. The Cosmopolitan will endeavor to repeat [ its past successes witha Pan American 1 Exposition number, which will be even more attractive, if possible, than | the Worlds Fair predecessor.
 The most famous writers of the cen | tury have been invited to take part in the preparation of this issue. After many days careful study of all the wonderful scenes of the Exposition, more than a hundred photographs have been prepared, which, taken as a whole, give thorough conception of the marvels of the Exposition.
 It is doubtful if any book selling at forty times the price of the magazine, will give any description of the Fair which will approach in interest and artistic value the September Cosmo- politan.
 Those who visit the Fair will pre- serve this number as a delightful ref erence book in the years to come, and those who are unable to go there will secure such a comprehensive view of its main attractions as will be well worthy of preservation.

 The Graham County Bulletin refers in half sort of criticising manner to a recent order of Special Agent Hol- singer prohibiting saw mill men from further cutting of timber on the Ora ham mountains. As a justification of their further cutting, the Bulletin claims that they have been at work at it for about ten years, and claims the lumber is needed for home use. There is way to get both lumber and wood for domestic purposes and the easiest and cheapest way to do is to comply with the regulations of the interior department.

 A bottomless lake covered with oil is the latest find in Southern Arizo- na. Southern California. however, does not propose to let Arizona mo all the freaks. Santa Ana, in that state, reports that in a well being bored there at a depth of POO feet it was partially filled with salt water. This was shut off and the drill sent down another 100 feet, when indications of gas and oil were found. A little farther and hot | water was struck, and now, at $50 | feet, the drill is working in blue shale | through which fome hidden force is sending the seepage of oil.

men and their employers are really represented by men of their own choice. The court of arbitration con sists of three persons, one nominated by the workingmen another by the capitalists, while the third is SUI preme court judge. When either side summons the other before a court, the workmen are compelled under penalty to continue work and the em- ployer Is warned against closing down. If the latter violates the law and discharges his men in order to defeat the courts decision, the em- ploye may within a prescribed time appeal to the court and obtain remu- neration for every day he has been idle. The decisions of the court are binding and cannot be challenged, appealed against, reviewed, quashed or called in question by any court of Judlcature on any account whatso- ever." An award fixes wages for period of two years. A clause of the act provides that if the employers re- fuse to attend the court or furnish required evidence, they do so at the risk of losing the case by default; and if they object to appointing one of their number on the court, the state does it for them.

Austria is catching on to the Ken lucky and Texas style of settling difficulties. A recent telegram says that as result of a vendetta of twen- ty years standing, a general fight oc- cured in a church in which seven men were killed and twenty three wounded.
 Speaking of his non-interferance in the case of person under sentence of death, Cover Rogers, of Washing ton, says: "As view it, a crisis has arisen in state affairs, in which the question is raised whether murder is to be punished in Washington, or whether the law is to be made an in strument of jugglery for courts and lawyers. There are other states and one or two territories where Cover nor Rogers remarks would apply with equal force and effect as to tug gling with justice.

Strange Funeral Services.

A San Francisco telegram says: | Buddhist services in memory of the
 Oriental victims of the wreck of the
 Rio de Janeiro, were held Sunday on the deck of the steamer Caroline in
 the Golden Gate over the spot where
 the lost vessel is supposed to lie. The
 Caroline was chartered by K. Ogawa, a wealthy Japanese, and had on board 250 of the Mikado's subjects as his guests. The steamer was garlanded with flowers from stem to stern, and gaily-tinted paper lanterns decked the rigging. When the appointed place was reached, little altar, in scribed with strange characters was brought out and placed on stand, heaped with flowers and fruits.
 Rev. K. Nishijima, head of the Bud dhist mission. in mourning robes of black and purple, seated himself be- fore this improvised shrine and be- gan an incantation, low, monotonous and pathetic, while the assembled company listened with bowed heads. Then all on board joined in strewing the sea with flowers, fruits and con fections, while some slips of tissue paper, bearing the names of the an cestors of the dead were also con signed to the waves.
 This ceremony ended, the boat pro ceeded on four hours pleasure trip around the bay. Refreshments were served and music and games enliven- ed the occasion. |

THE STEEL TRUST.

It IS not easy to comprehend the enormous power of the steel trust the workingmen have tackled giant
 indeed. Here are some figures show ing the magnitude of the corporation. It makes 90per cent of the coke in the United States, in 10000 coke ovens. with a capacity of B, ,OOOtons per day. It makes 75 per cent of the coarse sizes of steel billet, etc, 75 per cent of tie Trails, 90 per cent of street railroad rails, S5 per cent of the plates and 90 per cent of the wire.
 It makes substantially all the sheet steel in the United States and practi- cally all the tin plate and all the tubes. It owns 97 Ter cent of the Bessemer ore, l7 Bessemer steel works Of 10000 tons capacity daily, 1O5 open hearth furnaces and B blast furnaces. It owns 1000 miles of rail road, with 400 locomotives and lS.OOO cars; also l52 vessels with capacity of 525,OO0 tons per trip. It is the largest miner of coal in the world. by from 35,OOO,OOO to 5O,OOO.OOO tons per year. Its pay roll amounts to S5OO,OO0 a day.-Ex.

Arizona's Petrified Forest.

The geological survey is about tc
 issue pamphlet containing a report
 on the petrified forest of Arizona by
 Prof. Lester F. Ward of the national
 museum. In this report Prof. Ward
 recommends that prompt steps be
 taken to withdraw from entry the
 land embraced within the forest, and the Denver Republican says that it is probable that a bill following the line of this recommendation and including the land within a government reserva- tion will be introduced at the ap- preaching session of congress.
 This forest, which is situated near Holbrook, station on the line of the Atlantic & Pacific railroad, is one of the wonders of the United States. It consists of an enormous amount of petrified timber, the fallen trunks of trees belonging to remote geological age. There are three distinct parts. The nearest to the railroad embraces several sections of land over which are scattered sections of numerous tree trunks. One of these, known as the Chalcedony bridge, is about four feet in diameter. It spans a deep gully. This bridge is unstable and should be to prevent the destruction of remarkable natural curiosity.
 The second forest, covering several hundred acres of land, is about four miles south of the first one and re- Sembles it in many respects. The third and largest contains thousands )f petrified logs. In some cases there ire entire trees, with limbs and ! branches unbroken. The bark on 'ome of the trees, although as hard as | tone, is said to look as natural as if it lad been cut but a short time before.
 There Is no question that these de- 'osits should be preserved from ac- IuisitiOn by private persons. Theen- ire forest area should be included in
 national reservation or park, for al- hOugh it would require many years Q cart away all the petrefaction, the hief objects of interest and beauty ould be removed or marred. The anger has been increased by the es- lblishment of a new railroad station alled Adamana, within some six niles of the nearest deposit, thus laking the locality more accessible nan it was before -Ex.

future welfare and greatness of man
 kind"
 After several months of trying to educate our contemporary up to a a knowledge of the true situation of the silver issue and having quoted democratic authority in support of the position taken, the aforesaid contem- porary this mornining makes the fol- lowing admission: It is true that conditions have arisen whereby the silver issue has become a lesser issue and whereby it is not the vital issue that it was" That is a very long step in advance, and an admission most gratifying, as indicating that our efforts in this line have not been wholly fruitless.
 The Chinese court has taken a dis like to something that has occurred at Picking and has announced that it will not return there this year. That court is a very ''touchy" sort of thing. It charges that there has been bad management in the conduct of negotiations, and that there are far too many troops left in Peking.
 Our contemporary has a great deal to say about the bona fide repub- licans of Arizona and the bona fide democrats of Arizona. According to its logic, bona fide republican is one who fOrsakes his party, and votes the democratic ticket because his party platform is not constructed according to his ideas, or because he differs from his party on some particular question. A bona fide democrat on the other hand is one who will swal- low everything laid down in a pat form Of the party and who surrenders individual opinions to the expression of his party. A republican who does that is accused of being bolter. any thing but bona fiide republican, while democrat who does not do SD IS accused of treason and disloyalty to his party. The inconsistency of such logic is apparent to every one, except the man who attempts to palm it of on an intelligent public.

Akers Paid the Fare.

On Tuesday afternoon the south-
 bound train from Prescott carried a number of passengers, among them a frail woman and a small child. When the train had made its stop at Sknll valley and was obout to start some of the passengers noticed the brakeman assist the lady and child from the train. All aboard" was then called and the train pulled out to the water tank about a mile below, where a stop was made to replenish the water sup ply. In the mean time Dave Amber. who happened to take in the situa- ton, remarked to a numberof passen- gers that it looked too bad to see the poor woman and child put of simply because she had no money. Charles H. Akers, late secretary of Arizona was one of the listeners. He has a quick ear to hear the cry of distress, so upon brief inquiry he hastened to find conductor Graves. If you will back up to the depot and get that woman" said Mir. Akers, II will pay the fare" Jim Graves being also a man of generous impulses, did so and the frail lady and little child rode to Phenix at the expense of the ex-secre- tary, he having paid the SS.2O fare from Prescott. With streaming tears the lady thanked the gentleman who had so unselfishly come to her rescue. She was stranger to all aboard the rain. Enterprise.

ARIz0NA'S FAVORED CLIMATE.

The death list reported in the pa pers as the direct result of the recent heated term is estimated at not less than 2OO0. New York reported near ly 1000, Philadelphia ovet 200, Pitts burg 100, and so on in other cities. Most of the suffering and the great proportions of the deaths were in northern cities.-Albuquerque Citizen.
 With all the reputation that Ari- zona has acquired for its heat not a single death has occurred from this cause in the territory this year. In fact, despite the high range of tenn perature in some portions of the terri tory, deaths from heat are of very rare occurrence, and when they do occur there are always some other complicating conditions.
 Take for instance the Salt River valley, which is made the subject of many joke from other more favored and cooler sections of the the terri tory about its high temperature, men work out in the harvest fields during the hottest period without any fatal results. That the heat is uncomfort- able to one not accustomed to it can not be denied, but the summers of Phenix are the healthiest periods of the year. Men inclined at all to obesity grow fat there in the summer. (confidentially, this is the reason the Journal-Miner editor never goes there during the heated term) and with the ordinary care for health one always feels well physically. The death rate Is lower there in summer than in win ter. Arizona is certainly a favored locality so far as the perfection of it's climate is concerned, and it would have been considered a godsend to the swelterers of the east during the late heated term if they could have been transported to even the warm est place in the territory.

ago the newspapers were calling atten- ton to one of the richest men of the age working in his garden like a common laborer for his health's sake and for the same cause living abstemiously on diet which laborer would despise. There's a conspicuous example of the class of people whose success seems almost fail ure. But how many people are struck down fatally in the hours of success, no man can absolutely say. Stomach ufailure means heart failure, the failure of kidneys, liver, lungs and any other organ, inasrnuch as each and every organ of the body is dependent on the stomach for its nutrition and therefore for its vitality. For this reason no vital statis- tics can ever give the number of those who fall victims to disease of the stom- ach and the other organs of digestion and nutrition, because the cause of their decease is charged to other organs dis eased through the stomach.
 WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?
 Is it vweak" lungs, rweak" heart, kidney rtrouble," liver rtrouble " or dis ease of any other organ? You will find that in general, if you trace the disease back 1t originates in diseased condition of the stomach and its allied organs of digestion and nutrition. The best proof of this is that diseases of heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, etc., are constantly being cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery which is primarily and chiefly a medicine for the cure of diseases of the stomach and of the blood. The body and all its organs are sustained by food, properly digested and assimilated, which when converted into blood forms the nutrition by which physical life is re- uewed day by day, and meal by meal.

STRUCK DOWN.
Slain in the Hour of Success.

The Indian who trailed the hunter silently and secretly through the woods, often played with his victim as a cat plays with a mouse. Just in the moment of the hunters success, the blow fell |; silent, sudden, swift.
 There are certain forms of disease which seem inhumanly malevolent. Like the Indian they seem to play with the victim, until some day when he has reached the height of success and is thinking to "take life easy" disease strikes him down, perhaps never to rise again, or mayhap to drag out the re- mainder of existence in physical pain and privation.
 The best example of such malevolent disease is found in dyspepsia and allied forms of ustomach trouble" Not long

NEW ZEALAND STRIKE LAW.

In New Zealand there is a law which prohibits strikes or lockouts and provides that if workingmen and their employers cannot agree as to prices the decision must be left to some impartial person and not fought out. There they have two tribunals, a board of conciliation and a court of arbitration, and in both the working
