L. Taggart VIII Refund Muney II 1t Fails to
Increase Flesh and Cure Dyspepsia.
81 have been in the drug business
long enough to know that there are vcry
few remedies that can be sold on a guar
antee to refund the money if they do not
give satisfaction"
II have sold SO much Mi-o-an and
seen such remarkable results following
its use that welcome the chance to
convince my doubter of its merit, by
offering to give with each package of
Mi-o-na written guarantee to refund
the money if it does not give an increase
in weight, regulate the digestion and re-
store health.
"lf you cannot call at my store, send
me the price of Mi-o-na, SOC by mail,
and | will forward you a regular size
box, postage paid, with the same agree
ment to refund the money if it does not
give perfect satisfaction"
Anyone who has been losing flesh, or
who has always been too thin, should use
Mi-o-na. Thinness and scrawniness are
signs that the food is not properly as
Simulated and that you do not get the
nourishment from it that you should.
Mi-o-na mingles with the food you eat,
aids its assimilation, tones up and
Strengthens the digestive organs and puts
the whole system in proper physical
condition.
Remember that you risk nothing in
buying Miono. IF if fails to give you
the desired effect, the cost is trifing. IF
it fails, L. Taggart will pay for the rem
edy himself.

The Glove I. M Old .s History.

1t might be readily supposed that the
glove was an article Of modern luxury.
On the contrary, these hand coverings
date back almost as far as history It
self. Homer mentions them in his writ
ings, and Xenophon also, stating that
the great Cyrus once forgot his gloves
on an important occasion. From the
earliest times the manufacture of
gloves has been an important trade in
France, and in 100 Charlemagne grant
cd an unlimited right to the abbot and
monks of Sithin to make gloves from
the skins of deer they killed. The word
glove being of Anglo-Saxon origin, 1t Is
conjectured by some that the Saxons
introduced the trade Of glove making
into England.

"The Convict's Daughter" will be
the attraction at the Opera House
Thursday, Oct. 8. 1t is not the usual
murderous melodrama and clap-trap
comedy that we usually see in plays of
this class, but beautiful story, well
told by thoroughly competent COM
pany. Special scenery is carried for
the production of the play.
Theodore N. Barnsdall, the largest
individual gas operator in the United
States, has recently acquired con-
trolling interest in the Potter Gas Com
pany. Several months ago Mr.. Barns.
dali purchased block of stock in
the company and later on gave an op-
ton on his purchase to a sydicate
headed by ]. Newton Peck of Philadel-
phia, with the understanding that
providing they failed to close the con-
tract at a certain date he would pur-
chase their interests at the same rate
offered them. The syndicate failed to
make good and last week Mr.. Barns.
dali came into possession of the follow
ing stock, in addition to what he had
purchased before: ]. N. Peck, Ss4, 900;
H. H. Cobb, $4,000; F. L. Andrews,
1000; F. A. Raymond $4,000; L. E.
Larabee, $1,000; F. H. Raymond 3d.

"The Convict's Daughter" the sue.
cesstul and popular comedy drama,
comes to the Opera House Thursday,
Oct. g. 1t is interesting and intense
throughout. From the rise of the cur
tain the expectation and suspense of
the audience is kept at high pitch by
a constant succession of thrilling sit
uations which are worked out very
cleverly. The sensational escape of
the convict from the prison wall to the
swiftly running freight train, is with
out question the acme of stage mechan-
ism. The play is entirely free from
situations which cannot be reconcil ed
to human consistency, and in cotnpari-
son it ranks far above plays of like
nature. A liberal amount of comedy
is interspered to keep up the interest.
| Strong situations and thrilling eli
MAKES, together with startling mechan.
ical and electrical effect help to make
perfect production. The secret OF
the popularity and financial strength
of the play is its intrinsic worth as an
amusement enterprise. The piece has
real merit and with the exceptionally
strong cast specially engaged to inter
pret the same, should, and undoubted
ly will, pack the house at every per.
formance. Prices, opera chairs, 75c

Odd Fellows Entertainment.

Copper City Lodge 30. i OF Clifton
celebrated the o4th anniversary Of the
Independent Order OF odd Fellows
Monday night by giving d musical and
literary entertainment al Pretty
mans Academy. Almost every body
in town wa invited, the majority
OF whom were present. The enter
tainmeut was grand success. The en-
tire programme being carried out
without a single blunder. much 10 the
credit OF the performers. who had but
little time TO prepare for the occasion.
After the programme the hall was
cleared OF all furniture and those who
wished danced until late honr. This
wa the best entertainment any lodge
in the city has rendered 10 the history
OF Clifton, and went TO show that
there i considerable amount Or
local talent here which the people
have never dreamed OF. J. A Nc
Clay acted a. stage manager and filled
his position 10 the letter. The pro-
gramme was opened by Clarence
Eberly. who rendered an instrumental
solo and received wave of applause.
This was followed by recitation en-
titled "Guilty or Not Guilty. by Miss
Ellen Johnson. Miss Emma Hall then
rendered an Instrumental solo, which
was followed by Hugh Watson, who
entertained the audience with humor-
Gus reading, entitled Buck Fan
shaw's Friend which was highly APP
preciated by all. He carrie his part
through with the ease OF an old
timer on the stage. Next was music
by Smith brothers, mandolin and
guitar, and after they finished the
first selection they played another by
request. This was followed by a song
by Mrs. Connely which caused such an
applause that she was also requested
to sing another. \ recitation was
then rendered by Miss Goldacher, en-
titled ''Lasca," which was followed by
a song by Jack Sidebotham. An in
strumental solo was rendered by Miss
Talbcrt, a young lady fourteen years
old. She demonstrated the fact that
she is an artist on the piano and re-
tired amid loud applause. This was
followed by a comedy in one act in
which Mrs. Connely, Miss Goldacher,
Mr.. Simms and Mr.. Fallon figured
most prominently. This was the most
comical part of the programme and
was well received. The beginning was
but the end was more so.
Next came concertina solo by Sam
He was requested to
render the second selection. After
this the programme was closed with
speech by Judge =. c. Little. He
spoke on the good of the order and |
told the many undOubted benefits de-
rived from the grand order of Odd .
Fellows. His speech was snort but to /.
the point, and left no doubt in the |
minds Of the people "a to the many /
charitable deeds connected with the I
|. .. o. +. fraternity. Refreshing I.
drinks were served during the even /
ing not by the glass, but by the gallon. Z

Clifton 4, Morenci Z.

A match game OF ball was pulled off
Sunday last on the Clifton diamond
between the Morenci and Clifton
teams. in which Clifton was defeated
by a score Of : to /. 1t was agreed to
play 3 seven-inning game. bat at the
end of the seventh the score stood I
and 1. The eight inning was closed
with the same state of affairs; and it
was the same at the end OF the ninth.
! bat during the first half Of the tenth
/ inning one OF the Clifton tielders mutt
/ ed fly, due TO the sun shining in his
/ face, and this to a certain extent lost
/ the game for Clifton. The Clifton
| boys struggled for all they were worth.
I but it was impossible to overcome the
three scores that Morcnci had to the
good This was the best game Of the
season, many snappy plays being made
on both sides. 1t was an even game
| up to the last and it would have taken
a prophet to pick the winner. Very
! little betting was done, owing to the
/ fact that both teams had practiced bat
little, and it was nothing but a guess
as to who would win. At one tiinc il
/ looked as though Clifton was cer;ian
of victory, but the good work Of the
Morenci pitcher saved the game.
Brubecker occupied the box for Mo
renci and pitched an exceedingly good
game, barring a few wild pitches.
Snider, stranger, filled the box for
Clifton up to the seventh inning after
which Minor Simms, the old reliable
Clifton twirler, relieved him. Snider
was out OF trim, this being the first
game he had attempted to pitch for
almost year. but he had the most of
they had a hard time to find the ball
and when they did they were unable to
do anything with it. Just five errors
were marked down during the game,
four going to the credit OF Clifton and
one to Morenci. 1t was clean game
OF ball with the exception OF several
little squabhics, which were always
easily settled to the satisfaction OF
both sides. DR.. Lord umpircd the
game and always gave fair and square
decisions to the best OF his ability.
He made several pretty close decisions,
but take it all in all it would have
been impossible for him to have done
any better. He is thoroughly versed
in base ball and can come As near UNI
piring game as any one in the terri
tory. Both the Clifton and Morcnci
clubs have the making OF good teams.
All they need is practice. 1t is safe to
say that within very short time they
will be able to defeat any ball team in
the territory-nobody barred. The
following is the lineup:
The copper era., 1903-04-30

Arrangements have been made for
another game next Sunday, May ,,
between the same teams. This will
undoubtedly be an interesting game
as Clifton wants revenge and is going
to have it, For this game, the price
Of seats will be reduced to twenty-five
cents, the proceeds to be used in de-
fraying expenses. Remember that in
order TO make a success OF base ball it
requires money. As well as base ball
players. Come out and help the boys
along.

Hugh Williams, yardmaster OF the
\. * y. NJ. railway. met with what
might have been Il serious accident
Saturday last. He was on the top of
two cars which were standing a few
feet apart aud attempted to step across,
but as he made the jump his foot slip
ped and he fell between. Before he
fell to the ground one OF his legs
caught on the coupling rod which
caused his feet to fly up and his head
down. His head landed on the rail and
inflicted very painful wound. His
ear was nearly severed and Hugh said
he heard all kinds Of rumbling sounds
for several hours after. He was fortu-
nate to get of so light "a he fell a dis
taucc of j. feet. and being a good-slzed
man naturally fell hard. On Sunday
he had entirely recovered with the
exception of sore head, and being
base ball enthusiast he was out on the
ground ready for practice. He got
along nicely for awhile but soon caught
a not liner on the little finger, which
put him out OF business for the remain
der OF the day. Truly last week was
Hugh'S week of.
