Tendency of tho Times.

The tendency of medical science is toward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It is eaiser and better to prevent than cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that med ical men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results from cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), and it has been ob- served that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward pneumonia. This has been fully pro- ven in many thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used dur ing the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with implicit confidence. Pneu- monia often results from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended until it is suddenly discovered that there is fever and difficulty in breathing and pains in the chest, then it is announ- ced that the patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Chamber lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is contracted. It always cures. For sale by Pioneer Drug Store.

The Statehood fight in the Senate has grown into one of bitterest par liamentary contentious of recent years. Senator Quay announces that he will stop at nothing to win his struggle for statehood for Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico and Senator Hanna and the other republican leaders pronounce the methods of the Pennsylvania sen- atOr reactiOnary and almost revolu- tionary and say that they will not hes itate to precipitate an extra session of Congress if that becomes necessary to prevent the success of Senator Quay's program. At this writing there is every indication that nothing short of an extra session will accomplish the defeat of the carefully laid plans of the willy Pennsylvanian, and his &C., cOmplished co-worker, Senator Fora ker of Ohio.

The following from the Globe Silver Belt, is timely suggestion and the present legislature should pass bet ter sanitary law:
 "The need of better sanitary law is emphasized by the prevalence of small pox and typhoid fever in sections of southern Arizona. The present law is of little value for the reason that it contains no adequate provision for en- forcing sanitary regulations in rnin- corporated towns, nor for the pay of sanitary officer. It makes the con- stable of a town or precinct the sani- tary officer and imposes upon him duties which, if faithfully performed, in a town of any considerable size, would take up the greater portion of his time, and for which service he is allowed only one days pay in each week, at the rate of four dollars, or sixteen dollars per month.

Senator Quay's latest move has been to attach the Statehood bill to the ag- ricultural appropriation bill, which was accomplished Saturday, but he has also given notice that he will at tach it to the sundry civil and the post-office appropriation bills. So long as he maintains his majority in the Senate, which now numbers about twelve, there will be no possibility of defeating him except by talking to death those appropriation bills to which he attaches his obnoxious mea- sure. This, Senators Aldrich, Lodge, Hanna, Platt of Connecticut, and other leaders of the party assent, they are prepared to do if no other method of preventing the admission of the terri tories presents itself.

Senators and members of Congress are receiving letters from all parts of the country protesting against the pro- posed amendment of the law whereby it will be possible to detain cattle on trains without food or water for 40 hours instead 2S hours as is now pro- vided. The humane people of the country appear to be incensed at the proposition and are bringing strong pressure to bear on their representa- tives to defeat the amendment which is in the interest of the railroads and cattle dealers and is being vigorously lObbied by their representatives.

ZERO is AN ANCIENT TERM.

ThIrty-Six Hundred Years Ago.

ThIrty.six Hundred Years Ago.
The term zero. which is used to
designate a cipher and in meteor
ology the entire absence of heat in
the atmosphere, was, according to .
mathematical historian Moritz Can
tor. used by the Babylonians about
the year 100 B. C.. This, however, is
merely q supposition. 1t has not
been definitely established that zero
was In use any earlier than 400 A d.
About this time it was used in India
and several centuries later the Arabs
began to employ 1t. Through the
Arabs Its use became known to
Europeans during the twelfth CEN
tury. It was not generally adopted
In Europe until several centuries
later. notwithstanding Its great ad-
vantages. For a considerable time
there were two parties among the
European educators. One party,
known as the algorists. favored the
adoption of the Hindoo system of
notation falsely called Arabic), with
its position values. while the other,
known as the abacists, favored the
Roman notation, without zero or posi-
ton value.
The general adoption of the Hindoo
system was greatly facilitated by the
facts that 1t was explained in most
of the calendars for more than a cen;
tury beginning with 1900 and that
the medieval universities frequently
offered courses devoted to the use of
this notation.

Gen. BALDWIN DID NOT ISLANDER
FILIPINO AND NEGRO SOLDIERS

Baldwin, but was garbled from the ar
ticle in the Post of April 18th; that
General Baldwin's interview with the
reporter the afternoon of April 18th
was not sensational enough to suit the
paper and the story was twisted and
put in such shape that the reporter was
not willing to be held responsible for
1t and he resigned in consequence of
the position in which the publication
of the article placed him. The News
Is also sensational paper.
II was told that when the Post ar
ticle came out. the News reporter who
interviewed General Baldwin the night
of the 18th was scored for not getting
this sensational story. The News Of
the 18th, in publishing an authentic in
terview with General Baldwin. added
to it the original sensation which the
Post had published.
so far as could gather from con-
versation with newspaper men. they
did not credit the original Post inter
view from the start.
THE Republican. the only conserv-
ative paper in town. did not try to
learn anything about 1t, nor mention
1t.
T found General Baldwin much cha
grined at the notoriety thrust upon
him by this newspaper episode and
greatly humiliated at the thought that
any one would believe him guilty of
: the utterances alleged in these news

New Army Rifle Favored.

Washington, May 9.-The army
board which has been for months past
considering the merits Of the new SER
vice rifle or musket has finally de-
clared in favor of a weapon with q
barrel only twenty-four inches in
length, using 80 ball.
The new gun is remarkable weap-
on. according to the ordnance ohlcers.
for while 1t is four inches shorter than
the Krag, and only two inches longer
than the carbine. it is more powerful
than either, with higher initial ve-
locity and flatter trajectory.
1t can easily penetrate twenty-four
one-inch pine planks. 1t is a pound
lighter than the service rifle, which
is consideration in the tropics. A
new feature Is a complete encasement
Of the barrel in wood, to prevent burn
ing the hands Of the marksman when
the gun ia rapidly discharged.
The weapon was evolved by United
States army officers and is not patent
ed. 1t is asserted to be the most pow.
erful musket in the world.
