Secretary Cortelyou is one of the
few remaining men in public life who
affect the pompadour style of brush
ing the hair. Fifteen or eighteen
years ago 1t seemed as IL all mankind
had the pompadour craze. When
"Pompadour Jim" came on the stage
every sport that was a sport wore
his bristles rampant. The style is
very becoming to Cortelyou. 1t ena-
oles him in serious reflection to run
his fingers harrowlike over his head
without disturbing his contour.

Car of pyn.m.te Burned.

A carload of powder, consigned to Brown Bros., of Prescott, from the San Francisco powder works, became ignited, Sunday afternoon, on the Y in West Prescott, and was completely destroyed.

Peculiar Accident.

$. J. Sullivan, a well-known cattle man of this county, having formerly resided in Chino valley, and who was interested in the Cataract mines sev- eral years ago, met with very pecu- liar accident yesterday, and one from which he narrowly escaped with his life. Mir. Sullivan was fixing up to prepare some sheep dip which required to be heated. He ran across the bar rel of an old double -barreled shotgun which had been through fire and had the stock burned off it. He had built a fire in a trench and laid this old weapon across it to rest his kettle on. In order to get his fire burning we'll, he kneeled in front of the trench and commenced blowing it. While in this position an old charge which had evil dently been left in the gun exploded, shattering the barrels, portions of which struck Sullivan about the neck and shoulders, one piece sever- ing the exterior jugular vein, and a piece an inch and half long imbed- ding itself in his shoulder. He is un- der treatment at Mercy hospital and his condition today is reported as fa- vorable.

When the stomach is overloaded; {; when food is taken into it that fails to digest, it decays and inaames the mu- cous membrane, exposing the nerve and causing the glands to secrete mu- cin, instead of the natural juices of digestion. This is called Catarrh of the Stomach. For years I suffered with catarrh of the stomach, caused by indigestion. Doctors and medicines failed to benefit me, until used Ko- dol Dyspepsia Cure.-J. R.

CONTAGION IN WATERLOO.
Trustees Deny That School Building
Is Responsible,

The trustees of the Fortieth school dis
trlct have been greatly annoyed OF late
because Of the charge made by certain
erratic individuals that every case OF
diphtheria that has occurred In Waterloo
can be traced to that school. and that the
building Is a dlsease-breeding institution
and should be burned. The fact Is, say
they, that the school is entirely free from
every vestige of disease. and Is In mo-
wise responsible for the outbreak of the
malady In that locality. The schoolhouse
IS equipped with every modern conven.
fence, Is well ventilated and has been
thoroughly fumigated so that there is no
reason In the world why II should not be
lust as healthy as other schools. The
trustees declare that the parties respon-
siblc for the charges have been guilty
themselves Of most fragrant violation
OF the quarantine regulations, and that to
their conduct, more than to anything else.
perhaps, Is due the spread Of the disease
In that neighborhood Then. again. q great
many Of the cases reported are among
children not of school age. and also
among some who do not attend the school
IN question. In this they are supported
by the records of the health board and
also by the statements OF Drs Mayo and
Odell, who say that there is no reason
whatever why the school building should
be blamed for the outbreak OF the disease
In that section. Meanwhile. the school is
closed as u necessary precaution In such
cases.

CUBAN RECIPROCITY
BILL BECOMES LAW
President Signed it a Few Min.
utes Before One O'clock This
Afternoon.
IT RAISES SOME QUESTIONS.
Great Britain Expects Same Treat,
ment for Her Sugar Under Most
Favored Nation Clause.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE president
signed the Cuban reciprocity bill few
minutes before | o'clock this afternoon.
When the house convened today the
speaker signed the bill, carrying into
effect the Cuban reciprocity treaty,
using a gold pen provided by the Cuban
minister.
Now that the bill has become law
n question OF great interest has arisen,
namely, the effect of the reduction of
the duty on Cuban sugar upon inn
portations of sugar from other coun-
tries, The British government has
served formal notice upon the state
department that under the favored ma
ton clause II expects that British
sugar from the British West Indies
shall be admitted into the United
States on equal terms with Cuban
sugar, and 1t Is not doubted that Ger
many, France, Austria and the other
great beet sugar producing countries
will do likewise. An old holding of
Atty. Gen. Olney under President
Cleveland's administration was adverse
to such demands, but the question
promises TO be re-opened with vigor.
