AIladin'S Wonder
full Lamp.

What Alladin's Wonderful Lamp did
for him. the Wonderful Doran Lamp
will do for you; dimly lighted store is
like Alladn's cave, and needs light to
discover its treasure: well-lighted place
of business gets the money aud that is
the treasure you are looking for.
II you are satisfied with the light you
are using, you are not the man we want
to talk to, but il you are looking for bet
ter illumination, the Wonderful Doran
Light will supply the want and We guar
antee the result.
1t is as convenient as electricity; and
easier to install. 1t is fed from a seam
less wire tube, no larger in diameter than
a match. which can be run through the
building the same as electric light wire,
but is not so unsightly.
Doran lamps are connected with a
storage tank. placed out of doors il you
like, the gasoline is forced to the lamps
in the building as fast as it is used.
1000 feet of tubing would not hold more
than one pint OF gasoline, and there is
absolutely no danger. The pressure is
equal all over the system and one light
is as bright as the other. The lights
CAP be turned up or down to any re-
quired candle power.
The Wonderful Doran Light produces
a steady, bright, clear illumination, that
will not affect the eye and is superior to
an electric are light both in illumination
and convenience. No flicker or sputter
as with an electric arc.
Each light burns independently of the
others on the q, stem The Doran light
can be operated at about one. tenth the
cost to operate any other artificial light
upon the market to-day. The sum
of the whole matter is that with the
Doran Lighting System you can cut your
lighting bills down 70 an intinitestimal
amount that will not be noticeable and
you are entirely independent Of gas and
electric light companies.

The Copper Era of June llth says:
A carload Of dynamite in a train en-
route from Prescott to Pheesix blew up
at u point situated about seven miles
porth of Phoenix one day last week. The
car which exploded was the third in line
from the engine, The fireman saw that
the car was on fire and tho train was
stopped. The train had just come to a
standstill when tue dynamite exploded.
The fireman's clothes were all blown eff
and the engineer was badly shocked but
no one was seriously injured.
The engine is a complete wreck and
three or four cars were burned up. The
rest Of the train, including three cars
loaded with cattle, we're pushed back
from The blazing wreckage and thereby
saved. The track will be repaired so
that traffic will not be interrupted.
A hole forty feet in length by eighty
feet in breadth was torn in the ground
and was felt for miles around.

The big strike on the Belmont will
startle the entire mining world and give
Tonopah as mining camp a boom

too sanguine, for billion dollars out of
a single mine 10 not at all likely, il not

Anniversary.

Sunday was the 126th anniversary Of
two notable events. One the battle Of
Waterloo, the other the adoption OF the
American flag when the Continental
congress, after due dekberation, adopted
the flag that, with the exception of ad-
ded stars, has remained all that time
unchanged. The Union Jack was not
given its present form until 1901, when
the cross of st. Patrick was added to
those Of ST. George and st. Andrew.
Other great nations have had national
flags longer than the United States, but
very few have had those flags in their
present form SO long. So the adj 'ctive
"old" properly applies to our natio1al
emblem.
On our side the stars have been grow
ing until they number now three and a
half times as many as when the flag was
adopted; the fringe of settlement along
the Atlantic has expanded until all the
continent is occupied from sea to sea;
the four millions VI people have expand
ed to ninety millions and the flag is now
the standard of the mightiest nation
that ever occupied this earth. And
the tree of Liberty, planted in unpro-
pitious soil. has expanded until beneath
its branches nation rests, and the per-
fume of its blooms fill the world with a
fragrance which is JOY to the worlds
ends and the Nation has become so great
that marvellous things happen almost
without notice.

Mythical Snakes

The cause of persons whose nerves
are excited by protracted and ex-
cessiye use of stimulants seeing the
shapes Of animals passing before
them is not due wholly to imagina-
tion; in fact. the fancy only op-
crates to induce a belief that what is
seen is alive and hideous.

work of veins, ordinarily so small
that they do not intrude themselves
visibly in the path of the light that
enters the sight, but in the course
of some diseases these veins are fire.

why They kneIt.

Charles III. Of England was noted
for his good nature, and, although
he was sometimes called sUnthink-
ing Charles yet his heedlessness
was more an apparent than real
The extravaganza Of
his reign went hand in hand with
his poverty. and on some occasions
even the royal table was but poorly
served.
There is story told of Gram
mont, who one day dincd in state
with the king.
Charles bade the count to notice
that he was served upon the knee,
a mark Of respect to guests of the
king rot common at other courts.

planation, answered Grammont. Il

for giving You 50 bad a dinner.

Above the Atmosphere.

IL it were possible TO rise above
the atmosphere which surrounds
the earth the sun would look like
a sharply defined ball of fire, while
everything else would be wrapped
in total darkness. There could be
no diffusion of light without an at
mosphere or some similar medium
for the suns rays to act upon. But,
on the contrary, if the earth's at
mosphere extended to height Of
200 miles the suns heat and rays
could never penetrate it, and we
would freeze to death while wrap
ped in darkness blacker than the
blackest midnight.

EQUINE JEALOUSY.
How a Trainer Was Led to Develop q
Pair Of Boxing Horses.

A. r. Powell, the veteran trainer
Of horses. who after two patient
years actually taught two horses to
stand up on their hind legs and box
with the gloves on, declares that
not only are horses jealous, but
that il was the outcome of an In
cident arising from the feelings
which the green eyed monster Is re-
putcd to inspire which led him to
believe he had found a pair Of boy
mg horses.
One Of the horses was thor
oughbred Arab, known as Cigarette,
and the other dun horse of Turk
in breed called Charley, and writ
or in the Windsor Magazine thus
describes the incident:
I'm the earlier days of Charleys s
connection with circus life he was
presented with very handsome
saddle for use in a certain act. Now,
il happened on one occasion that II
was found necessary to remove this
saddle from the back Of the Turk
ish bred animal and place it upon
The lei black Cigarette.
Later on in the evening a tre-
, mcndous row was heard in the
, neirhborhood Of the stalls where
: the two animals had been stabbed
, side ~ side. Some of the attend
, ants ran 10 zee what was up. The,
: found that Cigarette and Charlie,
: had broken loose and were practi

and stamping upon each other.

also endorsed Mr.. Clark, and after
talking with him and listening to
his speech last night ! am satisfied
that his sympathies are with the
people in their fight against organ
lied wealth, and that if elected
senator he can be trusted to stand
for the reforms for which the Dem
ocratic party is contending. He is
in favor of an income tax--anOth-
err proof that be is not a represen-
