Keep an Eye on Tom.

The Minneapolis Journal predicts that Tom Johnson will soon be the great man of the democratic party, and power in national politics. The Journal thinks Johnson will be a stronger man than Bryan, and thus gives its reasons for such belief.
 'The fact that Johnson is mil lionaire, that he has shown himself amply able to take care of himself in the hurly burly of our present indus trial system, relieves him from the charge of being a disgrunted sore head, anxious for a change on the theory that he cant be worse off than he is.
 "Jhe millionaire who takes the popular side will never lack for fol- lowers. The confiding common peo- pie take it for granted that the man who is not content with the pleasures and privileges of wealth but takes up the cudgels in their behalf is trust worthy. It is Mirabeau and Orleans again. Johnson Is progressive, re- forming dissatisfied with present conditions, anxious to replace them with better.
 Beneath its sluthing free silver skin the Bryan democracy is de- mocracy of revolt and dissatisfaction. Bryan told it that the gold standard was what troubled it, and free silver was what would cure it. But the democracy Knowing Bryan to be false prophet, still looks to the future in stead of the past. And Tom John son will be its prophet"

TOOTHPICK FACTORY.
4 Natural Arizona Product of a
 Novel Character.

Under the name of the "Indian Souvenir Toothpick Company" a plant is in operation at Mayer that shows the natural resources of this section in so far as furnishing tooth picks go. Messrs. Mayer and Rogers are the men who are behind the en- terprise, and are now diligently em- ployed in not only preparing the ar ticle they semi-manufacture, but in marketing the same. They are up to date unable to supply the demand owing to the great number O. orders received. The little instruments they are handling are the production of the cactus plant, serviceable in their duty more so' than the common wood article, and when polished are varie- gated in color.
 Alr. Rogers, who caught on" to the idea of preparing the thorn from the plant, has labored earnestly to prepare a chemical solution to strip the branch of its natural growth and has succeeded admirably. The tooth pick he produces is about two and one-half inches long, has an amber tip of a natural color, while along the stem there is a variety of colors, showing the natural condition of the plant. There is nothing whatever artificial in the toothpick in either color or composition. They are also durable and will give better service than the manufactured goods. A box may be seen at this office, and a sample will be given any who may call.

Dr. and Mrs. J. Bradford are in the city. The former will permanently reside in Prescott, and from this point direct operations on the McCabe EX- tension Company's mining interests when not personally on the ground. Mrs. Bradford will leave for the east tomorrow, however, for a short visit with friends. Both people are genial and we welcome them as residents.
 MT. and Mrs. B. H. Smith returned to Prescott Saturday evening after an absence of several weeks. While away Mir. Smith attended the Salt Lake convention of the Elks, and from that point with his wife visited every point of interest east of the Mississippi to the Atlantic, making Boston his headquarters. Both are agreeably impressed with their jour ney, but like all Arizonans they are pleased to again be home in Prescott, which after all looks better to them now than ever before.

We'll Known kngeleno Embsrks in 6rl-
 Zcna Enterprise.

The people of Prescott, Arizona, are about to have added to their municipal improvements an up to date gas plant using the crude oil process.
 Geo, $. Porter, jr., secretary and treasurer of the Pacific Stove com pany of this city and San Francisco, has secured tie franchise for d gas plans in Prescott, and has severed his connection with the Pacific Stove company to devote his time to this new enterprise. He has enlisted Los Angeles capital and will leave for Prescott next week to secure the con tracts. As soon as the necessary number have been obtained the plant will be rushed to completion.
 Mir. Porter is well known here as one of the successful business men of southern California. and the people of Prescott have made no mistake in getting Mir Porter interested in their progressive city. Mir. Porter lived there number of years, and there fore is no stranger to many of the inhabitants-Los Angeles Record.

OF LONG AGO.
An Old Time Family Relic Now
 Treasured in Prescott.

During the recent visit to Massa- chusetts of Mir. and Mrs. B. H. Smith of Prescott, the former got to ran sacking the old homestead, and while pillaging the dusty attic" as it were, made the discovery of papers that enlightened and rewarded him handsomely.
 Over 100 years ago his grand mother received a present of hand some Swiss gold watch and chain. It was treasured by her in devotion and during her life was cared for with jealous regard. When she passed away the watch was willed to her daughter and during her life it was just as sacredlyy cherished and as safely guarded as though pos sessed by the original one. On her death, she, too, made provision for its ownership and security and i'm plicitly provided in her will that when see, too, should pass away, the watch was to be given to her sons wife, Mrs. B. H. Smith of Prescott, and by her treasured with the same devotion and regard it had been by former members of the family. Mrs. Smith, the mother of our townsman, B. H. Smith, passed away some four years ago, and it has not been until the last month that he has been able to secure the watch or gratify the wish of his mother in the disposition of this heirloom.
 Mir. and Mrs. Smith went east two months ago aId it was while at the old home Mr. Smith secured this trophy ot other days. He brings 1t to Prescott and has presented it to his better half. It is afectionately cherished by her, too. Its antique construction, its pure quality of gold and its ancient manufacture makes it indeed a treasure, and the beauty ot it all is it still keeps time and is to- day in running order. Mir. Smith had it fixed up" in Boston recently and a peculiar coincidence in repair ing it is that it was handled by a jeweler who in boyhood was school mate of MT. Smiths mother. The watch shows the wear and tear oi time, and so long has it done service that it is considered more of regard now as a relic than as a necessity in recording the hours. Its history seems romanceful, but nevertheless it is as true as its dials point to the hour of time.

same precepts of rectitude. These fol- lowers are no whit less truthful than their leaders. Yet because the preacher is leader it is natural to give weight to his statements. His very position and responsibility to his people and the world at large not only forbid the thought of untruth in him, but lend emphasis to any voluntary declaration of fact which he may make.
 If a pastor says to one of his congre- eation who is coughing, VI cured very bad cough once by the use ot Dr. P;erce's Golden Medical Discovery,p he could offer no stronger endorsement as to the value of that well-known medi- cine as a cure for coughs; and ii such pastor makes for the time the world his parish, and puts out the same testimony he is only enlargiug the scope of his benefaction. For if the world at large knew and was persuaded of the wonder ful curative powers of rGolden Medical Discovery in cases of diseases of the respiratory organs, it would mean a great increase in the general heal,h and comfort, not to say probable saving of a great many lives.
 VAS TRUE AS GOSPEL"
 It is Vas true as gospel" that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures coughs. bronchitis, weak and bleeding lungs and such diseases of the respira- tory organs as through neglect or un- skiilful treatment may find fatal terrn- ination in consumption. It is also true that the limit to a possibility of cure cannot be set. When people who have had fourscore heinorrhages of the lungs are cured by the use of the Discovery" l" there is certainly hope for one who may have had ninety hemorrhages. When some one is taken from the condemned cell into which the local practitioner has shut him, and from weak, emaciated

"A Former Resident and Politician
 Shows Up lust in Time.

We are pleased to welcome to the community again for a brief stay only, John Burns, who four years ago was the republican candidate for sheriff of Yavapai county, and it may not be out place to state that he was defeated with United Verde money, SlO,O0O having been spent by that corporation to ciuch him to the queens taste.
 Mir. Burns physically is about the same as years ago. if anything he looks better than ever. Financially he says he is ploddIng along. Poh- tically he is is firm as Gibraltar for the republican cause.
 He is one of the best railroad men in the country, and at present is sup erintending the Morenci road in Graham county.
 He will remain in Prescott but a few days longer, and in coming along at this particular time, has business instead of politics to attend to, al- though he is for the republican party from top to bottom.
 He will not visit the United Verde at Jerome.

The Opera House Season at Hand.

The sight of the increasing wood piles reminds us that the winter or indoor season must not be afar of, and that we will soon be devising plans and seeking some kind of amusement to relieve the monotory of the heightened evenings. Antici- pating the coming season, many will look to the local opera house manager to fill their wants, and we are inform ed that Mgr. Martin has some spfen- did offerings up his theatrical sleeve, and if no hitches occur, We are to have a gay season. Opera houses throughout the country are opening nightly and their reports indicate a profitable and pleasant season for all concerned.

It is the record of such cures which has given Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery a pre-eminence among all preparations for the cure of diseases of the organs of respiration.

While extreme cases of disease are cured by the use of rGolden Medical Discovery" the important point is not to neglect the slight cough. From such neglect fatal results have come to many thousands. It is useless to try the mere vcough medicine" 1" or pal liative, which soothes but does not cure. The one thing desirable is to be cured quickly and per- manently, and it is in such cures that the e Discovery" nroves its value.

Ninety eight per cent. of all who use rGolden Medical Dis covery" are perfectly and permanently cured. The remaining two per cent. though not cured acknowl- edge appreciable benefit.
