SAVE YOUR STOMACH.

The condition of the stomach bears
the same relation to ones health that
the foundation does to the house.
Without a good foundation, the house
cannot stand. Without good stom-
ach, the health must fail
Digestion will make and indigestion
will break the walls of the stomach.
Perfect digestion will build and sus-
tain, while poor digestion will tear
down healths foundation. The reason
for this is that the stomach must re-
ceive and prepare all food for entrance
into the blood, and from the blood into
the tissues. If the stomach is not IN
perfect condition, the nour1shment VIII
be improperly prepared 1mperfectly
digested, and, instead of the health
giving and strength-increaslng proper
ties of the food being contributed to
the tissues, stagnation ensues, the
blood becomes impoverished and poison
is forced into the system.
The weakest organ of the body gets
most of this poison, because, for want
of strength, it is less able to resist it,
and as a consequence, disease begins to
show itself first in one of the weak
organs, which is usually a very import
ant one. 1t may be the lungs, liver,
kidneys or heart and in the case of
women, it may be one of the organs
peculiar to their sex. Such symptoms
shortness of breath, coated tongue,
pains in the stomach, palpitation of
the heart, fullness after eating, bowel
complaint, ulcers in the mouth, sallow
complexion. constipation. diarrhoea.
dysentery7 and sour belching are all
symptoms of indigestion
KOdol relieves every symptom of in
digestion and restores the stomach and
digestive organs to perfect health. This
famous remedy has effected a perma-
nent cure in thousands of cases of
chronic dyspepsia, well ulcera-
tion of the stomach and other serious
stomach diseases.
Kodol represents the natural juices
of digestion as they exist in a healthy
stomach, combined with tonic and re-
constructive properties. 1t is absolute
ly harmless, perfectly palatable, never
doing harm, always doing good.

the street the railway company left it in
such condition that there is now a fall OF
about four feet between the level of the
track and the continuation of the street,
SO that traffic is now practically impos-
Sible.
For the past year the company has been
making a strenuous fight to secure the
vacation OF a street by the city author
tiles, and in order to accomplish their end
have been Offering all manner of seeming
concessions. Finding the city council OBJ.
durate, the company took the matter in
its own hands and tried to force it's ends.
About week ago representative of tho
company called at the city clerks office
and peremptorily demanded all the plans
and specifications for the proposed con-
cession, together with all papers and con-
respondence relating thereto. This is taken
by the city council as ultimatum to
the effect that the railway company has
broken off all negotiations and intends to
enforce the vacation of Huerfano street
at any cost.

Meteors Worth $40 a Pound.

Mr.. Hutchinson, a prominent farmer
near Admire, was in the office today
with a meteor which weighed two
pounds and six ounces. He said it
was worth SO the pound. He found
it recently on his farm buried in the
ground about eighteen inches. Within
the last few months about $3.50 worth
of meteors have been found near Ad-
mire. The Normal museum has
meteor found near there and the Smith
sonian institute has a large one cata-
logued the Admire, Kansas, meteor"
Mr.. Hutchinson says he saw this meteor
and did not take the trouble to look it
UP. But since the Admire people have
found the value of meteors everyone
there is on the look out for them. The
one Mr.. Hutchinson has, has been to the
Smithsonian institute and was passed
upon as genuine. 1t looks considerably
like iron ore.-Emporia Gazette.

HAS IT'S HAMMER OUT.
Santa Fe is Trying to Buy Steamship
Line at q Bargain.

Denver railroad men who have been
watching the moves of the Santa Fe
are expecting the announcement at any
time that the Santa Fe has succeeded
in securing control of the Oceanic
Steamship company, which will give it
a steamship line for it's Hawaiian Ia
hiti and Australian service out of San
Francisco, says the Denver Post. Ru-
mors of a deal have sprung from the
fact that the Oceanic steamship COM
pany stock has been on a steady de-
cline for year past and that it has
taken several considerable tumbles in
the past few days, due to the hammer
ing of Santa Fe representatives. In
February, 1901, the stock had what was
believed to be sound price of between
$100 and $1O3 share. On June 8. q
month ago, the price per share was $24.
1t was being offered at $25 with no
takers on June 25 last. This is believed
to be an unreasonably low price by
brokers, and only the announcement of
a deficit, which is expected in a day or
two can make it go lower.
When this last notch is reached it is
believed that the Santa Fe, through a
deal with John D. Spreckels and his as
soc1ates, will take over the line. Boston
people who are heavily interested in the
Santa F'e are said to have been waiting
for six months past to get hold of this
steamship property. The company has
a capital stock of $2500,0 900 and a bond
ed debt of $500. 900, bearing 5 per cent
Interest per Only $SoUUU OIL CtllS
debt has been redeemed. The dividends
have been discontinued and the market
value of the stock has steadily slumped
until it has almost reached the bottom.
Within a month something definite
should be made public about the deal
of the Santa Fe.
An overdraft for s912,O57 due j. D.
Spreckels & Bros company by the
Oceanic company is fast approa ching
the point where it will reach the mar
ket value of the company's property.
In fact, the Spreckels firm seems to be
in a position to take the property from
the stockholders with little trou-
BILE for its overdraft and turn it over to
the Santa Fe, the railroad, of course,
assuming the bonded Indebtedness of
the company. The Santa Fe has beer
anxious for some time to obtain such
an ocean service. The railroad has
abandoned it's Oriental service at San
Diego while all of it's Pacific ocean bus
mess is now concentrated at San Fran
cisco, and signs seem to point to its
obtaining the desired opening by pur-
chasing the Oceanic property.

To Sell Phone Limo.

W. F. Skies, owner of the local Inde-
pendent Telephone system, had an offer
made him yesterday for the transfer Of
his entire plant. The offer was made
by a man from ST. Louis, whose name
Mr.. Skies declined to give. The offer
was made in cash and was tempting
and complimentary in the extreme. Mr..
Skies was SO pleased with it that he has
taken the matter under advisement and
will make his reply within a week. It
is understood that the offer came from
the Missouri & Kansas Telephone COM
pany, which is known locally as the Bell
company. None of the Bell people here
knew of the presence of the agent in
Wellington yesterday. His work is done

has spent the small savings of a life
time defending his daughter in various
trials for murder. BY the judge, who
to the penitentiary for 25 years and is
now serving the sentence imposed.
The claim is made that the judge
was prejudiced and that the record Of
the trial shows this fact. A transcript
of the record is necessary before an
appeal can be taken to the supreme
court of the state. This will take about
5000, the attorney not charging for the
service. A number of people have con-
tributed small amounts to aid in the
appeal. 1t is expected that enough
money will be rased in this way to
secure an expression from the supreme

WILL BUILD PIPE LINE.

The Copper Queen Company has
placed an order for enough pipe to
reach from their we'll in the Bush
draw, near Naco. to Bisbee For some
time past the company has had a
force of men at work on this we'll. The
small pump. which was first installed
was insufficient TO lower the supply
of water encountered at small depth
and the men were compelled to quit
work. A larger pump which had been
used in sinking the railroad well at
Douglas. was secured and was put to
work. but failed to diminish the sup
ply of water
1t has been fully demonstrated that
the supply is sufficient to justify the
putting in of the pipe line. The put
ting in of the pipe line will necess-
tate the installation of a powerful
pumping plant in order to force the
water to the tanks above the smelter.
A tank will also be placed at Don
Louis for the use of the locomotives
on the railroad. and save the present
trouble of having to run into Bisbee
for water as is now a frequent oc-
curence.-Bisbee Review.
