A VALUABLE MEDICINE For Coughs and Colds in Children

"I have not the slightest hesi- tancy in recommending Chamber lain's Cough Remedy to all who are suffering from coughs and colds," says Chas. M. Cramer, esq, a well known watch maker. of Co., lombo, Ceylon. "It has been some two years since the City Dispensary first called my attention to this valuable medicine and I have re- peatedly used it and it has always been beneficial It has cured me quickly of all chest colds. It is effective for children and seldom takes more than one bottle to cure them of hoarseness.

 The cowboys of the Sierra county ranges have been initiatinga tender foot range rider on the Gila forest reserve by shooting the heels from his boots, the pipe from his mouth and other harmless, cat-like amuse- ments.

 c. E. Goddard was in town yes terday. He has plant for shear ing sheep by machinery, and has clipped 100000 in the southern country this season. His plant has been moved to Ash Fork, and he expects to commence the shearing of the bands of sheep in that vicin- ity next Wednesday. Two thou sand sheep can be relieved of their heecy covering in day by the shear ing machine.-Coconino Sun.
 The press of the territory, says the Tucson Star, seems to be agreed that there should be a bullion tax; that the s40,OOO,O00 of metals which are extracted from our mines annually and shipped out of the territory should pay reasonable tax. The wealth is taken from the territory, never to return. It is taken to the large monetary cen ters. It is taxed there. Why should it not it be taxed here, from whence it is taken2 The territory gives protection to those engaged in min ing this metal It protects prop erty and maintains law and order. These sources of wealth should con- tribute a reasonable tax, such as would be just and equitable It would aid in relieving the tax bur dens of the people. Let this issue of a reasonable bullion tax enter into the next legislative campaign. The territory needs the revenue. The producing mines are amply able to contribute the same.

WALTER H. BLAKESLEF

The death of Walter H. Blakeslee re. suited from cancer that came from al injury to his jaw caused by pulling ( tooth. For two years everything possi- ble was done to save him. Even the x. ray treatment, which has been so muct vaunted, was applied during the last six months. MT Blakeslee was married twenty-five years ago to Miss Annie E
 Smith. She survives him, as do three daughters, Grace A., Carrie Theodosia and F'larence May, the last named the wife of George Hubbard of Fair Haven
 MT. Blakeslee was graduated from the Yale Art school in the same class with Frederick Remington and W. A. Coffin, who have since become famous. As designer and painter of stage scenery MT. Blakeslee had few equals, and specimens of his handiwork have gone all over the world He was one of the first to paint drops in aniline so that the scenery could be folded and carried in trunks, doing away with the long and cumbersome poles or battings. Some ten years ago he opened a loft in the Grand opera house and became asso- ciated with Sereno S. Thomas under the firm name of Blakeslee & Thomas The bridge in the theater is of such dimen- sions that it was possible to paint the largest drops, and many hundreds of dollars worth of this kind of work was executed by the firm for New York theaters. The firm made speciality of theater curtains, and some three score of these specimens are found in thea ters about the country. The curtains in the Hyperion theater and the Grand opera house, this city, were designed and executed by the firm, as was nearly all the sets in use at both theaters.

 While the floor is drying a great pol- ishing goes on in the street. Quaint old brass lamps and candlesticks, tobacco boxes and ash trays, huge milk cans all are furnished until, like golden mir TOTS, they reflect the faces bent over them.
 The lacquer man is busy on Saturday. He goes from house to house painting the bread trays and honey cake boxes with designs of gaudy birds and won- drous leaves and flowers.
 The street is in a turmoil until noon, when order is partially restored and the scanty midday meal partaken of Tn the afternoon washing is resumed. The exterior of the cottages are scrubbed from roof to pavement, and every trace of mould removed, for in this low, wet air the green moss gathers quickly. Then the brick pavements are drenched and carefully dried and I have even seen the women slip off their sabots and tiptoe to their aoorways in the Woolen chaussons, so as not to sail the inlma- culate sidewalk.
 Lastly toward evening the entire vil- 1age goes to the canal, and all the sa- bots are washed and whitened with pumice stone, spotless for the morrow. On Saturday evening all the pickets of the low black fences are decorated with rows of dripping footgear. carefully graduated in size from the big wooden shoes of the wather down to the tiny sabots of the youngest born.-Scribners Magazine.

The grand jury of Memphis, notes the New York Tribune, recently investi- gated the public charities of the city and in it's official report described it's visit with civic pride and literary in spiration. Here is a gem about the poor house likely to make one feel he would rather be poor in Memphis than rich anywhere else in the world: The poor house, the route which We have all been warned to evade, and which has been made hideous both in verse and song, we cannot do justice when stating our surprise upon entering the beautiful grounds of this magnificently kept institution-more like a haven of rest than a finale of poverty. Scrupu- lously clean, both in and out, with it's silent and quiet old people, white and black, !ounging in the pure air of a per feet day, would suggest a 'siesta, modi- flying the oft repeated expression, Mans inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn,' for here humanity is shown by every taxpayer of our country, and the poor cid people of both sexes are certainly well cared for and in good hands. As one helpless cid lady, bed-ridden for years, ex- pressed it, I thank God deserve the privilege of being here; they are so kind and gentle to me-

Supremacy of the West.

The political supremacy of the coun- try lies with the west. The oVerpower- ing impulse that was given to the pol icy of expansion came from the west The determination to sustain that pol icy today is due to the west The ina. victory for Nicaragua canal was won by the west. The only powerful opposi- tion to it drew it's inspiration from New England and the middle states. The nomination of Roosevelt for vice presi- dent at Philadelphia was procured b. the enthusiastic efforts of western re- publicans, led by Henry C. Payne c. Wisconsin. The early expression o. opinion for the nomination of the pres ident in 1904 came frcm the west. and but for the strength of that expression New York would probably be content to indorSe the administration without commenting the president fer nClnina- ton by the next republican national convention.
 It is q notable fact that the superior financial weight of the east has little, or no influence on the policies of the west. The west always takes the in itiative in politics. and the elet. even when it iret strongly disapprOves. Is compelled to jump into the band wagon or be left behind or run down. Th4 west has nominated every repunlicaa candidate fer president since 1S5G The candidates have not ell been men of exclusively western birth and training. but they have been of tho western type in temperament, political opinions and public policies. Blaine was born in western Pennsylvania, but he had lived in EpTtlCE- Ohio and RTf, bi-r,r, f0 carly manhood, before he settled in Maine at @. But the west tied 10 Blaine fer reasons that would have been sufficient even if he had been as much a child Of New England by birth
