Business Men at Work.

Nearly all of the leading business organizations of the country are oth, cially aiding The Mckinley National Memorial Association to erect a mem orial tomb over the grave of the late president at Canton, Ohio.

 Railroad earnings were highest ever known. Bank clearings aggre- gated far ahead of record of 1900 Foreign trade was maintained at highest level yet known.
 In our immediate district the year has been one of progress. It has been a red letter year to most of the great industries of this section.
 The three years of successive drought seems to have effected disas- trously the deciduous fruit industry In many places trees are being up rooted and land put into other crops. The oil industry, also had a set back, hut the development goes on and reaction is looked for soon
 Generally fair crops have been har vested and marketed at satisfactory figures. o,
 The citrus crop was large, 24.OOC carloads, but the surprise of the yea was the olive crop now being harvest ed. It is enormous. nothing like be fore in California.

A Break For Liberty.

Tom Coffee" as the name he is known by, but Tom Crawford, he says is his real name, furnished some excitement on the streets this fore noon. Crawford says he halls from North Carolina and he is a physical athlete. Last Fourth of July Craw- ford was on Groom Creek and cele- brated in patriotic style by getting filled up on whiskey. He was ejected by a saloon keeper from his place of business and became so enraged over it that he bombarded the place with rocks, doing from S75.0O to SlOO dam age. He made his escape at the time but was recently apprehended by the officers. He had his trial this fore noon before Justice J. NJ. w. Moore and was convicted and sentenced to ninety days in jail As the officers entered the court house with him pre- paratory to conducting him to jail, he made a break for liberty. Under Sheriff Johns called to people to stop him but no one seemed to care to un- dertake the task. Johns fired two or three shots and at the last one Craw- ford placed his hands on his back and fell to the ground as though he had been shot. On coming up tC him, however, he was found to be un, hurt and was taken to the jail.

pered and fear grips the heart. Homes are forsaken. People flock to the rall- roads frantic to escape from the infected city. But shout warning against dys- peDsia and who is alarmed? Nobody. Yet dyspepsia in the diseases to which II tends. is re 7ponsible for more deaths an- nuallv in tine United States than Pestl- lence could probably claim in decade.
 THE WEAK SPOT
 of the modern man is his stomach. No man can be stronger than his stomach because the stomach is in effect the vital centre of the body. Where does the heart get its nourishment? From the stomach. Where is the nour1shment prepared for lungs, liver, kidneys and other organs? All are nourished from the stomach. Stop putting food into the stomach and in time the heart stops beat inc. We must eat to live. Every0ody knows that. They understand that the man that isn't fed starves. But what they don't seem to understand is that starva- tion is inst as sure when the man IS fed, if by reason of disease the stomach cannot convert the food it receives into nutrl- tion for the body and it's several organs
 The sign of starvation IS enaciauon, loss of flesh. That's the sign of dysPep- sia and weak stomach also. The dys- peptic eats enough but the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition fail to extract the nourishment from the food and so the body grows lean and the strength of the body is undermined
 DYSPEPSIA AND DEGENERAcY.
 There is a certain physical degeneraccJ which results from dyspepsia. If th' body is not nourished it grows weak and as the body is only general nam' for the sum of its organs and members to speak of the body growing veal means that the heart is growing weak the lungs are growing weak, and tha the liver and kidneys and other organ are involved in the same "weakness. When diseases of the stomach and It allied organs are cured these dePenden weaknesses are cured also

4 WORTHY OFFICIAL.

No man ever occupied the position of United States attorney in this ter ritory who will leave the office with a better record than will Hon. R. E. Morrison, whose successor was ep- pointed January &. This is strong recommendation, too, as Arizona has had some excellent men fill the posi- ton. Mir. Morrison is well versed in his profession, and while he has dis played most commendable zeal in the prosecution of all cases, both crimi- nal and civil, to which the govern ment has been a party, at the same time he has not permitted his zeal to partake of the nature of Perse- cution. No man who has ever been a defendant in the case where Mir. Nor rison represented the prosecution can say that any unfair advantage was taken of him, or that he was not per mitted to present his case fairly. The best evidence of the ability possessed by him is the record of his success He will retire from the office with the respect and esteem of the members of the bar, the judges before whom
 he has practiced as well as of the citi
 zens of the territory. MT. Morrison
 had no application before the depart
 ment for reappointment. The Phe
 nix Gazette has the following con
 corning him:
 MT. Morrison has held that othc'
 for nearly four years and has a recor(
 of being one of the most successful
 prosecutors in the service. His recor(
 in this respect at the department o
 justice is second to none in the who'll United States. He is an excellen ] lawyer, a man of high character ant one of exemplary habits"
 On the same lines the Phenix Re publican says:
 "There had been no public an . nouncement as to whether Distric : Attorney Morrison, whose term ? just expiring, was a candidate for re . appointment. He has made mos l excellent record as an able and LII tiring prosecutor of violators of th a federal laws, and in every way has st 7 high mark of efficiency which h l successor can hardly hope to exec }, In view of the fact that there were I t complaints of any kind against h i administration of the office, the al
 pointment of NIT. Navewould indica S that NIT. Morrison was not an appl > actively at least-for req 1T pointment."

CAR SHORTAGE.

The universal car shortage which has for long time prevailed through out the country, has set railway man. agers to figuring as to the best method of increasing the supply of of available rolling stock. Prima facie the way to overcome the diff culty, is to build more cars. but a careful examination of the subject raises question of doubt as to either the feasibility or advisability of this remedy. Indeed, it is certain that given better use of the equipment now in service, the necessity for more equipment would at once disappear but how to accomplish this result is the problem.
 It is well known that the supply oi cars, especially when taken in con nection with their larger capacity

FIGHTING FOR PEACE.

A few short years ago the Emperor Nicholas of Russia, who was much younger then than he is now, ex- pressed a willingness, in which he wanted everybody to ardently join, to have a whole lot of peace, good will on earth and that sort of thing. The old political ducks of the centi- nent thought this was strange and looked very much askance at the in experienced but well meaning young man, in fact they did not have bit of faith in him. But as time went on it became apparent that Nicholas was really in earnest, In the meantime, however, the whole caboodle had a meeting at the Hague where they spent lot of money scratching away at the chimerical idea, but the prac- tically accomplished nothing. In fact it was plain that the only way to have peace, with the only condiments thrown in, was for everybody to allow everybody else to pound each other into submission and insensibility be- fore they would forego the inaliena ble right of man to be fighting ami nal. The immediate answer to the whole business was the South Afri can war, as if there could have beer any other answer to that abstract proposition so long as man kept up ; thirst for a right good and heart! scrap now and then. You would first have to eliminate him as brnte and by the time you had done tha the .women would be at it tooth anC nail.
 Now for some time past there ha been a Pan-American circus in ses sion, the prime object of which is fo everybody to get all he can and giv nothing to anybody else. But, the. do not call it that.

FOES IN AMBUSH.
THE HIDDEN PERIIS OF THE
 PAST AND PRESENT.

When the Puritan passed through the forests of New England, he realized that his greatest danger was from hidden foes. Therefore, he was armed and vigilant. The enemies a man can see he can fight, but the enemy that skulks in darkness unseen, be he ever so weak, is to be dreaded by reason of his in- visibility.
 The foes that threaten the life today are all ambushed. There IS no fear ot the varrow that fiieth by day." for the day of the arrow is past and gone But the vpestilence that walketh in dark ness" is still thing of terror, because it strikes suddenly from ambush.

STRENGTH FROM FOOD.

All physical strength must coae rom food after it has been received into the stomach and properly digested and assimilated. Medicine cannot make strength. There is only one source or strength and that is food converted into nutrition. There are two chief causes of physical weakness one 1nsumcienr food. the other the inability Of the stom- ach and its allied organs to digest ana assimilate the food eaten Dr. P1erces Golden Medical Discovery is not offered as A substitute for food, but as medicine which enables the perfect digestion ana assimilation of food, and SO gives the oooy the strength which comes from food alone
 When the weak stomach IS made strong again by the use of rGolden Med ical Discovery the food it receives 1s perfectly digested and assim1lated, ana the body in all its parts and organs IS restored to stfength with the stomach The lost flesh is regained and the body is built up with sound, solid flesh instead of habby fat.
 But as the body is but name for the sur1 of its organs and members, SO strength for the body means strength for each organ of the body, and when the stomach is made strong, strength IS oiven to the vweak" |" heart, Uweak lungs and other weak organs:
 Accept no substitute for r Golden Med ical Discovery" there is no other medi- cine vjust as good for the cure or ois, eases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition
