PASSING THRONG.

Hon. John R. Mccain, State Land Agent. tells d beautiful story of self abnegation which recently came under his observation. A little while ago MT. Mo- Cain went to Fitzpatrick, Bullock County, to deliver the principal address at the closing exercises of the Fitzpatrick High School which is conducted by Professor McNeil. It was announced to the large audience that gathered to witness the closing exercises that little Misses Susie Clair Miller and Carrie May Edwards each about l3 years old, had tied for the prize, a gold medal, to be awarded the pu- pill making the best grade in department and class standing. Rev. Mir. Scale, the Methodist minister at Fitzpatrick made this announcement. Her said Professor McNeill regretted that but one gold medal had been ordered as he felt that both 0f the bright little girls should be rewarded for the zeal they had shown. Under the circumstances, Mir. Scale said it had been decided to let the two little girls draw slips of paper from box, the one draw ing the winning paper to take the gold medal. Pieces of paper on which were written "Medal' and No Medar' were placed in a box and the little girls dress ed in pure white, were invited to draw. Little Miss Miller drew the paper on WiiCH was written MCCALL when little Miss Edwards drew the slip bearing the words No Medal.' her eyes were down. cast and she was plainly overcome by disappointment. In a few we'll chosen words MT. Scale presented the medal to little Miss Miller who stood perfectly composed until he concluded by handing her the medal as a reward for her high standing. The face of little Miss Miller was radiant with happiness as she deliheratel walked across the platform in the pres ence of her lG0 fellow students and their parents and pinned the medal upon the breast of her competitor and schoolmate little Miss Edwards. For a momen the audience did not realize the full signiti- canoe of the queenly action. Then there was an outburst of applause which con- tinued until the two little girls took their seats. "it was one of the prettiest seen a l ever witnessed" said Mir. Mccain. and it showed the beautiful character of the little girl who sacrificed her own ambi- ton to make happy the heart of her iit tie friend"

SAD AND SUDDEN DEATH.
Mrs. Erickson Passes Away Last
 Night in This City.

Mrs. Erickson, a young woman who with her husband resides at Walker arrived in Prescott a few days age accompanied by her mother. Last evening she gave birth to child, and in less than four hours thereafter she was corpse.
 Mrs. Erickson and her mother were both believers in Christian science and did not call a physician until il was plainly evident that one was needed. Dr. Fitzsimmons was how ever called, but according to his statement she had passed the stage where his services could be of assist ance and she died within an hour af;erward. Dr. Otto was also called but the end came while he was en route to the home.
 Under the circumstances of this woman's death, and the general re- ports in circulation that she died as the result of medical neglect, a cor oner's jury will be held this evening, at which the material facts will be produced and the blame, if any there is, placed on those who are respon- sible.
 Mir. Erickson. the husband of the woman, is miner employed at the Victor mine. and arrived in town this morning. He stated that previous to his wife leaving for Prescott, she was requested to procure the services of a nurse and physician. The deceased lady was universally we'll liked, and the bereaved husband has the sym pathy of all in his affliction.

MUST INCORPORATE.

Justice Shiras of the supreme court of the United States was inter- viewed by a representative of the As Sociated Press at Pittsburg a few days ago, and in speaking of the coal strike said:
 Arbitration is the logical method of settling labor troubles such as this one which effects the general pros- perity and comfort of a great section of the country. The method and en- forcement of this arbitration Is sub ject for the lawmakers of the nation; but arbitration itself is logical.
 There is now one great difficulty standing in the way of arbitration law. Many of the labor unions are not incorporated. Until they are no law can be made binding, as no con tract or agreement could be enforced upon them, while the operators, on inc other hand, could be held liable.
 Incorporation of all labor unions is the primary step towards the pas sage of an arbitration law. The unions must be responsible for the carrying out of an agreement, and until they are there is little hope for compulsory arbitration of labor troubles.

NEARING THE POLE.

Lieutenant Peary did not succeed in reaching the north pole, but he approached nearer to it than any of his predecessors in artic exploration. He reports having reached the lati- tude S4 degrees I7 minutes. The highest point previously attained was S3 degrees 244 minutes. That was by a detachment of the ill-fated Greedy expedition, under Lockwood and Brainard.
 In gaining a higher latitude than any former explorer, and getting within less than $50 miles from the pole, Lieutenant Peary has achieved a measure of fame upon which he can well afford to rest. Whether the pole is land, water or ice is still an open question, but one that is likely to be solved before the present cen tury is much older.

dcian. For this reason many a woman lets disease fasteu upon her. She con- ceals her condition and endures daily niartyrdom of pain because her mind revolts at the thought of submission to the treatment she knows the local prac- titioner will insist upon.
 Very many women have written grate- ful letters to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., because they have found in his methods an escape from the offensive questions, the obnoxious examinations. and the disagreeable local treatments insisted on by so many home physicians. These things are, as rule, not necessary. Dr. Pierce's experience and success in treating hundreds of thousands of women, enables him at once to determine from the written statements of women the form of disease which it is necessary to treat. Sick women are invited to con- suit Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All correspondence is sacredly confidential and the same strict professional privacy guards the written condolences of women as is observed by Dr. Pierce and his staff in personal consultations with women at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti- ute, Buffalo, N. Y.

 The case of the Denver woman who sued a dentist for pulling the wrong tooth is attracting a good deal of at tention in the east. The Washing. ton Post, for example, thinks the dentist has a valid defense on the ground that he could get a better view of the woman's mouth than she could. There might be some extenu- ation for a mistake, also, on the ground that the dentist did not pull her leg.

 self all to pieces. It is down in Tue
 son one day, takes lay-over at Phe-
 nix. and then is landed in Prescott
 It is in the burg now, but only the
 faithful see it. There is a nigger somewhere in the woodpile. In speak ing of this latest freak issue that is intended to make all republicans fall all to pieces, and give their support accordingly to the democratic Domi- nees, the Tucson Post says that the
 favorite argument is to the effect that the election of a democratic delegate to congress is absolutely necessary to assure the passage of the state hood bill, and that the election of a republican delegate would kill the bill and block its passage for the reason that a deal has been made whereby all three territories are to be admitted on condition that Okla homa and New Mexico are republi- can and Arizona democratic. If Ari- zona goes republican they claim that the democratic support will be driven away, and the bill will fail of passage in the senate. According to them a a deal to this effect has been made by NJ. $. Quay and the leaders of the democratic minority in the senate.
 Taking for granted that this argu-
 ment is correct as far as 1t goes, it loses its weight when we consider that if all three territories went re- publican, the bill would receive the support of the entire republican ma jority, including those whom the democrats say oppose the bill for partisan reasons. Again in this ar gument, the democrats acknowledge that their senators are guilty of the same partisanship which they have been laying at the door of the repub- lican solons. OBrien Moore, who is trying now to be Wilson exponent, and whose lightning change from knocking to supporting Wilson is only equalled by the Dr. Jekyl and Mir. Hyde transition of Elsie Hughes from a rat office and an enemy of union labor to a union office and a lukewarm union labor advocate, this O'Brien Moore of the Citizen Enter prise trust, would have us believe that there are republicans in Arizona who believe his argument, and for that reason will support the demo- cratic ticket. Merely to satisfy the that there was nothing in this argument, prominent Phenix who is close to Mir. Quay, a letter to him asking him If there was any truth in the state ment that deal had been made. Mir. Quay, it is said, replied that the whole business was newspaper talk; that there was nothing in it, and that the election of republican delegate would materially aid the side of the majority in the senate who favor the passage of the statehood bill early in December.

Ancient War Rules.

According to a Bengal native paper war is less civilized in these days thar of old. It unearths a set of rule purporting to be drawn up by eppos ing generals in ancient India before war was declared. Some are sound others distinctly comical, comment. a writer in the London Express Take rule as an instance:
 l. Animosity must end with the war, when the combatants must re gard one another as friends.
 2. The fight must be between equals: that is to say, charioteer must fight with charioteer, cavalry with cavalry, iL Lfantry with infantry.
 3. A man who is not strong enough to fight should be allowed to go Scol free.
 4. No man is to be struck without previous and distinct warning.
 5. A man who shows nervousness in war should not be interfered with
 6. No one is to be taken a prisoner unawares on any account.
 '. No man who has been deprived of his arms or armor or Is badly armed should be hurt.
 s. The persons of the following classes of people are to be considered sacred; (a) The man who drives a chariot; (b) the bearer who carries a wounded man; Co the surgeon; Id, the military bandsman.

 sThis is before the public, and in connection with its legal purport, a a strong resistance will be made, it is said, by the association of some twenty or more taxpayers to take the question to court for legal hearing A great many taxpayers have already paid their proportion of this special tax, while on the other hand, as ad- vertised, there is yet due the city several thousand dollars on the spe- cial work extended the common wealth. The claim is made by those who refuse to pay, that the work has not been performed as authorized by the ordinance, and that a survey will demonstrate tbis in grade generally, and curbiGg especially. The case will probably come up for hearing in the November term of court, and the termination Of it is awaited with in- terest.

 GAINED TEN POUNDS.
 vI took four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and two of his Golden Medical Discovery and re- ceived great benefit" writes Mrs. Elmer D. Sheare, of Mounthope, Lancaster Co.,, Pa. rI do not have those sick spells as formerly Before took your medicine could hardly walk at times, when had uterine trouble l can truly say that after taking four bottles of 'Favorite Prescription and two of Golden Med ical Discovery I did not suffer any more.

 Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription establishes regularity, dries disagreeable drains, heals inflammation and ulcera- ton and cures female weakness. 1t tranquilizes the nerves, encourages the appetite, and induces refreshing sleep. As tonic for weak. worn-out, rundown women it is unequaled. It makes weak women strong, sick women we'll.

The candidate for s5eriff on the democratic ticket is in the field and incidentally speaking he is there in a manner that cannot be misum- derstood in more ways than one to make his identity clear as an office seeker. Hickey cannot talk, but this slight dehection is offset in the make up of his wearing apparel, which an swers all purposes lacking in accom- plishments of the power of speech.
 He has long tan colored leggings on to rub against the expert or the corporation mining man so that both will feel at home.
 Greasy Overalls with candle stains for the miner to feel at home with.

"She Let COnCealment Like a Worm f the Bud Feed on Her Damask
 Cheek"

How aptly Shakespeare touches the dominant chord in a woman's nature
 She suffers in silence; draws curtain over her private sorrows, and endures until endurance ceases to be q virtue. This is especially the case with the modest minded women who suffer from diseases peculiar to the sex. They are miserable and unhappy, and yet, although they know that they need medical aid and assistance, they choose ratner to bear the ills they know than to submit to the examination of some local phy-
