ARIZONA'S FRUIT EXHIBIT
Arrangements for Its Collection AL
 ready Being Made.

Hon. Robert N. Leatherw1 pod. a member of the worlds fair board of managers for Arizona, was in the city yesterday for the purpose of mak- ing arrangements for the horticultural exhibit at St. Louis. What he is work ing at now is the apple collection and the collection of all fruits which can not be raised next year in time for the opening of the exhibition. The apples will be sent to St. Louis in the course of this fall and placed in cold storage in the worlds fair grounds. Every thing in the way of fruits which will be on exhibition will be sent there in large quantities so that no delay may be experienced by the unexpected ac- cidents which attend the shipping by express in small quantities. It is the purpose of the board to keep the horticultural exhibit full from the opening Of the fair until its close. It will never be allowed to look ragged or otherwise unattract ctive.
 Work, MT. Leatherwood says is pro- gressing satisfactorily in the collec- tion of the mineral exhibit. It will De complete very soon.
 As has been mentioned the board has secured 1000 square feet for the min

So uniformly successful has Dr. Pierce's Vavor1te Prescription proven III all forms Of Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb, and Leucorrhea, that, after over the worst cases of these distressing and debilitaiing ailments, Dr. Pierce now feels fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in cash for airy case of these diseases which he cannot cure.
 IT STANDS ALoNE.-The vFavorite Prs scription" stands alone, as the one and only remedy for these distTessingly CoIn- mon forms Of weakness, possessed of such positively specific curative properties as to warrant its makers in proposing, and binding themselves to forfeit, as we, the undersigned pTopTietors of that wonderful remedy hereby do, to pay the sum of $500 in legal money of the United States i'll any case of the above diseases in which after d fair and reasonable trial of our treatment, we fail to cure. No other medicine for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments is backed by such remarkable guarantee i; no other medicine for wonan's ills is pos SeSScd of the unparalleled curative prop- critics that would warrant its manufacturers in making such an offer; no other remedy has such record of cures on which to base such remarkable offer.
 Therefore, 7nsfSf on having Dr. Pierce's Favor1te Prescription and turn your back on any interruptions dealer who would insult your intelligence by attempting to foist upon you some inferior substitute, under the plea that it is just as good. ; Insist on having the article which has a record of a third of a century of cures and which is backed by those willing to forfeit $500 if they cannot cure you
 In cases attended by leucorrheal drain a solution of Dr. Pierce's Lotion Tablets should be used conjointly with the use of the TFavorite Prescription" They are sold by all druggists, or sent postpaid to any address, on receipt of 25 cents in stamps.

THINGS ARE MOVING
A House, Two Lots and Ranch
 Changed Hands Yesterday.

A. H. Linebarger O. the Valley Realty Co. is not only talking to other people about good things. but he is taking advantage of some of the good things himself. He had previously pur- chased several hundred acres of good valley land and yesterday he added to his holdings the Hughes ranch of leo acres west of town. The property is well improved and devoted to alfalfa raising.
 Another transaction was consum- mated yesterday resulting in one sale and the giving of an option on other property. that may end in a sale the first of the month. The parties refer red to are Charles Wes.ey of Cananea. buyer, and George B. Richmond seller. MT. Wesley is a mining man and was so well pleased with the appearance of things when he arrived here recently from Cananea that he determined to put a little money into something good. Through J. Ernest Walker. MT. RiChmond's agent, he bought ar option on another house and four lots.
 Mir Wesley is also interested in mining in the northern part of the county and left this morning for Nor ristown accompanied by his family.

are gentlemen of national fame. They were members of the same political family during a considerable part of the first administration of President M'Kinley. General Alger was secre- tary of war during the Spanish con- hict and it was due to his marvellous energy and great executive ability that the forces of the United States were so thoroughly organized in such brief time that the military authorities of the world wondered.
 General Alger is no stranger in Ari- Zona. He has for years been inter- ested in many enterprises in this ter ritory and when he has had an op- portunity to assist it he has always embraced it.
 Mir. Bliss is also deserving of the gratitude of the people of Arizona. During his administra tion of the de partment of the interior his appoint ments of territorial officials were we'll considered and wise. and he otherwise exercised his good offices in behalf of the territory. This is his first visit 1 to Arizona.
 The gentlemen arrived in the city carly in the evening and both being weary with travel retired immediately after dinner. They said last night that their visit was Of no significance. 1 Their journey is one of pleasure though General Alger as a director of | the Development Company of America has taken more than a tourists inter- est in the various gigantic enterprises | in which the company is interested.
 The other members of the party which left Chicago are Messrs. Henry Wick of Youngstown, O.; Rus sell A. Alger Jr., Temple E. i ard of Detroit and Col. G. H. Hopkins 1 of Detroit. MT. Wick is also director oi the Development Company of Amer ica.
 These gentlemen accompanied Mr. Murphy on a visit to the Silver Bell mines of the Imperial Copper company but General Alger and MT. Bliss felt unable to undertake the long ride across the country and came on to i Phoenix with MT. Emmert. They will i be joined here tomorrow morning by MT. Murphy and the rest of the party
 The tour in Arizona so far has in- cluded Clifton. Morenci. Tombstone 1 Bisbee and the towns of that vicinity and Tucson.
 1 The party of visitors leaving Phoenix after the arrival here of MT. Murphy will visit the Congress mine and Pres colt and will then go on to Los An geles.

The original application was for 5000 feet for the mineral and 2,000 each for the agricultural and horticultural That application was made though be- fore the board knew what it would cost. It Was ascertained that the worlds fair management had esti- mated that the expense of maintaining an exhibit through the fair would be not less than $S a square foot It was then that the application was modified. The space which has been secured will cost s16,0OO or half of the amount of the proceeds of the sale of the world's $ fair bonds.
 Mir. Leatherwood not long ago visit ed St. Louis. He was very much i'm pressed with the business-like way in which things are being conducted. The quietude which prevails on the grounds where fifteen thousand men are at work is apalling. That is the absence of the sound human voices. There is absolutely no rag-chewing. Every man knows what he has to do and he does it.
 While Mir. LeatherwOod was in St. Louis the excavation for the Lake of Fire was going on. A great hole is being made in a tract of ten acres. Steam shovels are loosening the dirt and it is being hauled out by 1000 mule teams, each one driven by a negro. There is no swearing at the mules. One never hears, Gee Whoa Haw.' Even the mules know what is expected of them and their colored drivers restrain natural impulse to be loqua cioUs.

A prominent clergyman strongly
urges all young men who contemplate
entering the ministry to learn some
trade either before or after their
ordination. lie has examined the sta
tistics of the various Protestant de-
nominations and has been appalled,
by the number of ministers who are
without a charge. He thinks that il
every preacher should have trade
his independence would not only be
great thing for himself, but would
increase his usefulness in the pulpit.

teach the parrot to cry "Vive lie roi!'

were soon successful, and the bird
