How To Prevent Group.

It will be good news to the moth CTS of small childern to learn that croup can be prevented. The first sign of croup is hoarseness. A day or two before the attack the child becomes hoarse. This is soon fol- lowed by peculiar rough cough. Give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the rough cough appears, and it will dispel all symptoms of croup. In this way all danger and anxiety may be avoided. This remedy is used by many thousands of mothers and has never been known to fail. It is, in fact, the only remedy that can always be depended upon and that is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by c. A. Cover Drug Com pany.

SOME POSTAL STATISTICS
in Which Arizona Makes a FIatterine
 Exhibit.

Postmaster McClintock has re- ceived from the department the annual report of the business of the various postoffices of the country for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1903. By reference to it and the reproduction of some of the figures therein contained some pleasing as we'll as interesting information may he obtained. In view of the fact that Arizona is anxious for state- hood it's showing made at the post office department is surely flatter- ing and in view of some of the boasts that have been made by other towns of the territory respect ing their growth and prospects, with the incidental intimation that Phoenix is overestimated, some comparisons between the towns of the territory afford good reading. The following figures are from the same source and show the total postal receipts of all the presiden- tial offices, secor.d and third class, in Arizona, for the last two years, preceding June 30.

EMBLEM OF STATEHOOD.
Jewellers Unique Design Which Tells
 Arizona's Story Without Words.

A work of art now on exhibit in one of the display windows of the J. A. Black jewelry store on Con- gress street, Tucson, says the Star, which is drawing more than the casual glance of the passerby and causing much favorable comment is the small plaster of paris cast of Arizona waiting for statehood"
 The work is that of one of Tue sons longtime dentists, Dr. Oder matt, and has before been described in these columns. On the thirteen tiers of stone, each tier represent ing one of the counties of the terri tory, rise the ruins of the historic Casa Grande, emblematic of civ ilization which is now rapidly pass ing into oblivion, and rising ma jestically above the ruins stands the figure of a woman, in all buoy ancy of youth and strength, queen iy Arizona. Yet her wrists are manacled and the shield rests at her feet
 Bills now before congress should give to Arizona statehood and the doctor will then have to work cer- tain changes in his queenly Arizo- ma. The manacles will then be broken; in one hand she will grasp firmly the shield and in the other should be star, emblematic of statehood.
 At each of the four corners of the base stands male figure as rep resentative of the four chief indus tries of the territory-mining, ranch ing, numbering and farming.

VICTORY FOR CASTRO.


Caracas, Dec. 31.--Barquisimeto,
capital Of the state OF Lara, which
for some time past has been In the
possession Of the Venezuelan revo-
lutionists, has been recaptured by
government forces. The towns Of
San Carlos and Tinaquillo have also
been reoccupied by the government.
The revolutionists evacuated the
town after losing 112 men killed and
1926 wounded. There was hard fight
ing the streets and suburbs Of Bar
quisimeto for two days.
It now transpires that President
Castro's recent visit to La Victoria
was not Of d social nature, as report
ed here, but for the purpose Of con-
ducting personally by telegraph the
operations Of his forces at Barquisi-
meto. This victory for the govern
ment appears to be direct result
of the presidents initiative.
United States Minister Bowen has
received Information that the Dutch
steamer Prins Maurits has entered
certain Venezuelan ports blockaded
by the British feet and discharged
cargo there. Special permission for
the Dutch steamer to do this was OBJ
tained from Commodore Montgom-
erie, Of the British cruiser Charyb-
dis.
The Italian cruiser Giovanni Bau-
san ordered the Prins Msurits away
from port, but Commodore Mont
gomerie directed that she continue
to discharge her cargo. In Caracas
this held to be a discrimination
against American steamers, and the

Kansas Farmers Getting Bit on Gro

Kansas Farmers Getting Bit on Gro
cery Fakes,
Here IL another lesson wherein the
farmers learned by experience to pass
up the CRATER and buy their goods
Of the merchants In their town. A
month or two ago grocery agent
went through . neighboring county.
soliciting the sale Of groceries at dirt
cheap prices. Many Of the farmers
thought 1t was . good thing and
bought heavily. Last week the gro
ceries were delivered and now the
farmers are SO mad that every time
the affair is mentioned their hair
stands on end. The goods were de-
livered and the farmers found they
were beaten. ThG goods are shoddy,
shoP-worn stun, stale As Egyptian
mummies. One family ordered ten
pounds Of cream candy. The stuff
was thrown to the hogs. II was
dried up. stale and not tit 70 eat,
Many farmers bit on the proposition.
The moral is this; When you want
some goods at reasonable money buy
rom Abilene merchants and you
will not regret your purchase. Pass
Up the grafters.

PATRONS MUST ACr.
Rural Delivery Conditioned On Good
Roads Rree from HnoW.

"a "A :"
The government has issued tht
following orders regarding the dntis'
Of patrons on free rural delivery
routes:
The department looks 10 the patrons
! ef the rural free delivery service who
are receiving the benefits Of the ser
vice. 10 use their utmost psrsonal en-
dsavors. and also 10 exert their In
tinence with the road supervisors. or
With those officials who are responsi-
lble for the condition Of the liighways;
10 the end that the roads travelled By
ural carriers may be slways kept
hOpen and In such passable shape that
iSs service can be regularly and punc-
tually performed.
Should the regularity Of the SER
vice be needlessly destroyed as the
result Of inattention and lack Of care
bestowed on the highways, the per-
manent withdrawal Of the delivery
will very likely result.
Rural letter carriers are required
TO serve.their routes regularly at ell
seasons Of the year and in every kind
Of weather when 1t can be done with
out seriouily imperiling their lives
Ok endangering their conveyances or
the U. s. mail which is in their
custody.
Patrons should clear away the snow
drifts 90 that carriers can drive up to
and reach boxes from their vehicles
without dismounting.
It is not part Of the carriers
duty to break out the roads after se-
we're snow storms.
Rural carriers are expected TO
energetically try to serve their routes
even though the conditions may be
extremely adverse, and any undue
lack Of zeal on their part should be
brought to the attention Of
this Office for such action a. the
l,erits Of the case require.

DEALERS AT FAULT.
Chicago Coal Men to Blame fcs
Scarcity Of Fuel. "A
CONSPIRACY 10 FORCE UP PRICES


Chicago, Dec. s1.--Two investigs-
tions into the cause Of the scarcity
and high price Of coal in Chicago
have begun. At the Palmer house
Attorney General Hamlin held con-
ference behind closed doors with rep
resentatives of the coal hauling rail-
roads and Of the coal trade; at the
city hall the council committee on
railroads held q public session, hear
Ing statements from men who direct
the movement Of coal on the rail-
roads entering the city. Neither In
quiry resulted in action by the pub
lie officials and both will be CON
tinued.
Attorney General Hamlin's investi-
CATION, which may continue until
Saturday, is aimed at discovering
whether there Is or has been any un-
lawful conspiracy to restrain trade
In coal or to force up prices. Mr..
Hamlin announced that he had made
rapid progress and intimated that
the greater part Of the blame rests
with the dealers and not tho rail-
roads.
IF find proof" he said, "that the
thousands upon thousands Of tons Of
coal which the dealers have in the
yards, snow-covercd and untouched,
are not actually under contract, but
held for the purpose Of increasing
the price, those dealers will be prose-
cuted and compelled to relieve the
suffering occasioned by the scarcity
Of coal"
Before the railroad committee Of
the city council the fact was brought
out that local dealers are holding
vast quantities of coal merely to
keep up the price. Their plan is
to have loaded cars reconsigned.
Trainmaster John W. Coneys, Of the
Pennsylvania road, testified that dur
ing the past few days one car has
been reconsigned seven times. Other
railroad officials said their rules did
not allow cars TO be reconsigned
more than once or twice at the out
side. Mr.. Coneys promised to do
everything in his power to prevent
the continuation Of this practice in
the Pennsylvania yards.
