PEACEFULLY BURNED
Jesse Walker Fell Into Q Fireplace at
 Eldred's Ranch.

Jesse Walker was frightfulIy and perhaps fatally burned yesterday morn ing shortly after breakfast. at the ranch of Hi Eldred, west of this city. MT. Walker has been for a long time subject to fits. and while sitting in front of the fireplace he was sud denly seized with one and fell forward into the fire
 The only person in the room was a Mrs. Ed Barnes who with her husband is employed on Mr. Eldred's ranch. Mrs. Barnes efforts to get the man out of the fire alone were futile and she called her husband who was milking at the time. With his assistance he was rescued, more dead than alive. One of his hands was burned almost to a crisp. the upper part of his face was terribly burned and nearly all the hair was burned off his head
 When MT Eldred was summoned he was able to see a little but later in the day his sight left him. MT. Eldred brought the man to the county hospital as quickly as possible where he was made as comfortable as possible. His recovery is in doubt thou h he has :, chance to live.
 The injured man is a native of Ten ressee. He went from there to Cali fornia and from there to Prescott com ing here about a month ago. He had been employed by Mir Eldred for about two weeks. He has no relative or in- timate friends here.

NONE ARE SYMMETRICAL.

No person is built straight. A rather astounding proposition, isn't it?' said the oculist. True. none the less. Nowhere does it show more than in my trade. Mos- people realize. ii they are at all observant. that the two sides of the body are not evenly de veloped or put up. You take trained athletes-it is true of them even. The calf of one leg is often much larger than that of the other. yet the muscles of both legs have had the same train ing; one shoulder may be trifle broad CT or squarer than the other. Oh, no, not 6efCrmities. but just little defects not apparent to the casual observer.
 "But the people seldom take notice of the face unless it is so conspicuous as to amount to a deformity With me have people come in here whose ears are not level, whose eyes are not square: one side of the fact is longer than the other. In fact. that is the case with most of them. Tell them? not at all; that would never do. Ig- nOrance is bliss. and what you don't know won't hurt you. But I did have case in here the other day-the diplo- macy I exercised ought to give me the enthusiastically to the court of St. James, and even then I failed.
 "A stunning looking woman came in to be fitted to spectacles. l adjusted them carefully, fitting the features so as to have the glasses set right on the eyes. She immediately surveyed her self in the glass, and as the smile of satisfaction played across her face I thought all was well. She took off her

 the conditions required. He rode on the ticket to Maricopa but between that point and Casa Grande the main line conductor took the ticket up and when his attention was directed to the signature of the local agent he pro-
 nounced it a forgery. The plaintiff managed to pay his way to Tucson where he was obliged to wait two weeks for funds. He asks $5.0O0 for
 his expenses at that place and S15. .OOl for what he lost by his failure to sell mine in Montana which failure was 1 the result of the delay caused by the skeptical conductor.

PRESIDENT PALMA.

President Palma of Cuba may not be getting helf credit enough for his ad- ministration of the islands affairs In the matter of the finances, always a pitfall in LatinAmerican republics, he has kept firm grip upon the gold re- serve of some S1.25O, 900, and has sue ceeded thus far in paying the cost of government out of the current receipts
 The existence of the reserve gives sta bility to the young republic and in spires confidence abroad in the admin instra tion. President Palma has also sent abroad as diplomatic representa- tives men of the best education and culture to be found in Cuba, who will make good impression at European courts. He has also kept public order and maintained the public health So far so good.-Springfield Republican

 "She tried them on and again sur veyed herself in the glass. She saw that the glasses did not meet the eyes; in fact, they looked as though they were taking a short cut from one cheek bone up 70 the other temple. She ad- mitted that they were straight when off, but said that they must also be adjusted to fit the eyes. I explained to her that I had to fit the features, and so the glasses would not be straight when laid down. She was rapidly waxing indignant, and I said, as at last when laid down: Madam, one of your ears is just about half an inch higher than the other She grabbed up the glasses and marched double-quick for the door
 Two or three days later she came in and said she hoped she had not been rude before, and wanted her glasses adjusted to her features. Now. you watch people and see how many of your friends have their ears set level. and see if both sides of their faces are of the same length. .''-Wash;ngton

 who had battled for years against the mental and physical suffering of lost manhood that the institute has decided to distribute free trial packages to all who write. It is a home treatment, and all men who suffer with any form of sexual weakness resulting from youthful folly, premature loss of strength and memory, weak back, vari- cocele. or cancellations of parts can now cure themselves at home.
 The remedy has a peculiarly grateful effect of warmth, and seems to act di- rectly to the desired location, giving strength and development just where it is needed. It cures all the ills and troubles that come from years of mis- use of the natural functions, and has been an absolute success in all cases. A request to the State Medical Insti- tute, 1132 Elektron Building, Ft. Wayne, Ind, stating that you desire one of their free trial packages, would be compiled with promptly. The Insti- tute is desirous of reaching that great class of men who are unable to leave home to be treated, and the free sam ples will enable them to see how easy it is for them to be cured of sexual weak ness when the proper remedies are em- ployed. The institute makes no re- stf'ctions. Any man who writes will be sent free sample, carefully sealed in a plain package so that its recipient need have no fear of embarrassment or publicity. Readers are requested to write without delay.

SPEED IS COSTLY.

They tell great things about the speed O. the ocean greyhounds but omit to say that speed costs as does every ether luxury. They expect to drive the Kaiser Wilhelm II twenty four knots an hour, but it will take an expenditure Of lO,eGO horse power to do 1t. whereas 14,0G0 horse power will drive the Cedric. the largest ship in the world, seventeen knots

THE FINAL REPORT
Submitted by the Territorial Grand
 Jury.

The territorial grand jury presented it's final report yesterday afternoon and was discharged. The report shows that seventeen cases were examined, that eight indictments were returned. that three charges were dismissed and six ignored. The report was confined for the most part to observations upon the county offices to which the last three days had been devoted. The re- port in the first place speaks of the excellence of the grand jury and the fairness and calmness with which t discharged it's duties without fear or favor or hope of future reward.
 It is admitted that perfection has not been found in Phoenix and the hope is expressed that some day things may be better and that succeeding grand juries will have an easier time of it and that they will encounter things less of lensive to the senses.
 The county offices were generally found in good shape and when they were not. that was the fault of the con- ditions and not of the incumbent. No criticism was passed upon the affairs of the offices of the treasurer, the sheriff or the superintendent of the otiiOOlS- llt Jdll Was lOGtiu LO D@ well kept as was the poor farm. The of flee of the district attorney had been well managed. There had been no waste of the public money and prosecu- tions had been fearlessly conducted
 There was no fault to be found with the office of the probate judge but it was suggested that certain work be in- dexed and that records left unfinished hNv ha t,ra6anaccnVc af Inc. |. be brought up to date all of which will require more help.
 The manner in which the office of the recorder has been managed was complimented but the grand jury throws out the suggestion that it would perhaps be better if the fee system were adopted and the present scale of fees reduced. It favors the payment of clerks and copyists by the folio in- stead of by the day
 The spending of more money on the office of the assessor is advised. The work of that office the jury finds has been as well done as possible with the facilities at hand but on account of the lack of help the assessments of one year have to be made by taking those of the preceding year. As a result many or the ValuatlOnS nave been un- just. Many of them have been entire ly too high and altogether the tax payers have had to pay yearly about S4OOO0 more than they ought to have paid. That would not have been so bad if the money could have been kept within the county but a considerable part of it goes to the territory so that Maricopa county pays more than it's of ha 1f ritorial government.
 The greater part of the report is naturally devoted to the office of the board of supervisors which is highly commended. The business of the county in this section of the report is recapitulated, and many suggestions are offered.
 There was very little done in court.

Children

Have ceyes bigger than their stomachs," !" according to an old saying. They over eat themselves, and are tempted by all sorts of injurious and indigestible edi- bles. As consequence the foundation of serious stomach trouble is often laid in childhood.
 For children with Uweak" digestion or whose stomachs are diseased, Doctor Pierce'S Golden Medical Discovery may be confidently recommended. It cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, so that the nourishment contained in food is per fectly ass;,nilated and the puny child is built up by food into a condition of robust health.
 Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery contains neither alcohol nor narcotics.
 Accept no substitute for Golden Med ical Discovery" There is nothing vjust as good for diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition.
 Mrs. Ella Gardner, of waterview, Middlesex Co.,Va., writes My little daughter is enjoying who could cure my child Whenever she feels badly I give her pr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and she is soon all right. She took twelve bottles of the Golden Medical Discov- of Dr. Sages Catarrh Remedy and she is well We thank God for your medicine"

may, with good luck, earn $1,000 a
week each, but they share losses as
well as profits, and the former some
times make havoc with the latter.
Maude Adams has a salary Of $500 a
week, but she will not earn a dollar
this season. While she was starring
under the management of Mr.. Sire,
May Irwin had similar income. 1t
will thus be noted that in earning ca
pacity, as in talent, Leslie Carter far
surpasses all her sisters on the stage.
Yet, when David Belasco made a con-
tract to produce "The Heart of Mary
land" at Palmer's Theater, Mr.. Pal
mer absolutely refused to pay $50 a
week to Mrs. Carter, and rather than
let her play the leading role of that
melodrama, stipulation insisted upon
by Belasco, the manager forfeited adj
vance payments of $500. Thus rolls
the wheel of fortune. Mr.. Palmer aft
erwards became Richard Mansfield's
road manager at salary of $1,000 a
year. Mrs. Carter now is in receipt of
a salary of $4,000 year. What Mad
anne Dubarry does with her wealth no.
body knows. During her long engage
ments in New York she rents two mod
est rooms in the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
an old-fashioned and inexpensive hos
telry. Her appetite is simple, she never
tastes wine, and her dress, though dis
tinctive in elegance of fashion, is not
especially extravagant in cost Prob
ably she is saving up money for her
son, a college boy, to whom she is de-
voted. When this youngster. in vaca-
ton time, comes to town, Mrs. Carter
reserves the best box at the theater for
him. and she never acts so we'll as
while her son sits looking at his ia
nous mother. When this writer first
became acquainted with Mrs. Carter,
it was in her ugly Duckling' days.
She was very poor and universally
scorned by the critics. Yet her dispo-
sition is the same to-day as it was
then, alternately cheerful and emo
tional, entirely unaffected, impulsive
and frank. Leslie Carter possesses the
temperament of Sarah Bernhard,
without the eccentricity or extrava-
gance of the French woman. Bern
hardt will die in poverty; Carter in
wealth.
