Such slight circumstance as n glass
of wine changed the history OF France

throne. who always drank only n GER

cause even one more made him tipsy.
ON Il memorable morning he forgot to

took one more than usual. When en-

Paragraph 3S34 Of the Revised Stat uteS of Arizona expressly prohibit dou- ble taxation. Paragraph 3S37 repeats this prohibition and lays down the rule for the taxation of all corpora ticns.

TAXING THE BANKS
Judge Baker Advises How Assess
 ments Shall Be Made.

The question of the manner of taxing the banks of this county has been set tied in an opinion by District Attorney Baker. It was raised a month ago by County Assessor Luke. who proposed an assessment of the three fourths of the capital stock of the banks and of the property of the banks. It hitherto nas been the custom in this county to assess the banks for sixty per cent of their capital stock and omit the prop erty.
 The matter was submitted to the board of supervisors sitting as board of equalization and it was referred in turn to the district attorney who yes terday rendered the following opinion:
 Phoenix, Ariz.. Aug 3. 1903. To the Honorable Board of Supervisors
 of Maricopa County. Arizona: <. Gentlemen-In the matter of assess ment of taxes against banks in this county. I respectfully submit to you the following opinion:

 Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing only.
 They're for sick kidneys.
 They cure backache, every kidney i'll.
 Here is Phoenix evidence to prove It.
 L. s. Dunbar, proprietor of the fruit and cigar store, 8 North First avenue, residence 576 North Seventh avenue. says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are not q new remedy to me. We first used them in our family several years ago when living in Marietta, Ohio, where they are considered a household necessity They are the finest remedy for backache or any symptoms of irritated or weakened kidneys on the market. Shortly after moving here some three years ago symptoms of a recurrence of kidney trouble in our family became evident. and we tried to get Doan's Kidney Pills at several drug stores. They knew nothing about thenf and we sent to our druggist, MT. Styer of Marietta for a supply. Noticing them advertised In Phoenix last winter when we required them we procured them at the Brisley Drug Co.'S store. They are necessity in our household, particularly so when compelled to drink the water in Phoe- nix. On every occasion when their use is required they have never failed to bring prompt relief"

JOHN WILLIAMS ARRAiGNED
The Bad Honey Case Set for Examina-
 ton This Afternoon.

John Williams, who was arrested Monday light by Officer Tipton. was turned over to the United States au- thorities yesterday and in the after noon was arraigned before Court Com missioner Johnstone under the law making it a felony to utter. sell or pass altered United States securities of any kind. Two counts are held against him. one for each of the two dollar bills that were rased by some body to ten dollars each and passed by Williams on George York of the Co lumbus saloon and John Quadri of the Depot saloon.
 Williams secured the services of At torney Jerry AIillay to defend him and his examination was set for o'clock this afternoon. His bond was fixed at s1OOO, and, being unable to give it, he was placed in the county jail for safe keeping.
 Though, he still insists that if he passed bad money he did it innocently. one or two incidents of his arrest not learned Monday night makes his case look even more gloomy than at first One is that some time Monday evening he exchanged his black hat with a crap dealer for q white one. While that is not criminal proceeding. il appears as though Williams was alive to the desira bility of somewhat dis guising himself Another thing is that when arrested he asked what he had done and when the officer inquired whether he had passed ten dollar bill he said he had and immediately wanted to know if it was rot good. This, Of course. might be a question that would suggest itself to an honest man. but he made no reference to the second one at that time, leaVing the impression that he had had no other money that day. Later when asked about the other bill he said he did have another which he passed early in the morning. He does not deny pass ing the money, which in itself is tech nically criminal, though many honest men have passed bad money without knowing it. But the circumstances of this case are so compromising that in q moral way at least the officers cannot but reverse the rule and consider him guilty till he has proved himself inno- cent.

ARIZONIANS ON THE COAST
Return of Fir. J. J. Sweeney From
 Southern California.

J. J. Sweeney has returned after an absence of thirty days in the southern part of California. most of the time be ing spent at Coronado Tent City. H> is loud in his praise of the lovely climate at that place and CT the beau ties of the island. There are at pres ent about I.400 persons camped iii 1 tents and in q few days one of the regiments will have it's summer outing 1 there, numbering some six hundred. Everything that could be desired tO make il pleasant is shown to all. The sanitary conditions are perfect, all kinds of amusementS are offered such as bowling, shooting galleries, merry go-round, and other games. The cele- brated Cornado brass band discourses all the latest music. both classical and modern every evening, dancing is in dulged Tn by those who wish every evening at the floating casino. The bathing in the surf is the finest on the coast. the beach being of fine sandy bottom.
 Too much. Mir. Sweeney believes. can not be said Of the courteous treatment of the mana agement of the Tent City, especially Mir. Sauer and MT Worthy who do all in their power to make visitors cOmfOrta Dle. MT. sweeney Oe- lieves that the next year will find most Arizona families camped there.
