A Good Reoommend.,, ton.

''I have noticed that the sale on Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets is almost invariably to those who have once used them," says Mir. J. H. Weber, a prominent druggist of Casade, Iowa. What better recom- mendation could any medicine have thaa for people to call for it when again in need of such remedy? Try them when you feel dull after eating, when you have bad taste in your mouth, feel bilious, have no appetite or when troubled with constipation, and you are certain to be delighted with the prompt relief which they af- ford.

Phenomenal Flow.

On Thursday afternoon Messrs. Sis son & Young struck a phenomenal flow of water on their ranch, eight miles above Solomonville, in the Cie- naga valley, in what is known as the Artesian belt.
 The we'll had been driven to depth of POT feet and on Thursday afternoon last the great water body was tapped, and through four-inch easing ever since then there has been flowing l2O,- 900 gallons of pure, fresh sparkling water every twenty-four hours, and the water runs down the valley as far as Stafford.
 Mir. Young is enthusiastic over the we'll and says it is the finest in the ter ritOry. Messrs. Sissons X Young own several hundred acres of land in the Cienaga valley, and will sink another we'll on their property. With the increased supply of water that they hope to obtain from the new we'll, they will be able to irrigate nearly all of their farm and will plant the land to hay and alfalfa. Bulletin.

GOV. BRODlE'S MESSAGE
Chief Executives charIe to legislature len1thy Document Some of the
 Recommendation.

ltgiSidtufe was lenStny uOcument and took the Governor an hour to read it in joint session. In it's recommends tions it is along the lines of his pre- decessors, and which previous legisla- lures have failed to act upon.
 The following recommendations are among the most important on the mes- sage:
 The present indebtedness of the ter ritory amounts to sl, ,O65, 461, 90.
 All offices in this territory, where possible, both territorial and county, should be made salaried, and all fees turned into the territorial or county treasury, as the case may be.
 ''I earnestly recommend that the office of assessor in each county in the territory be made elective instead of appointive, in order that each assess or shall be responsible to the electors of his county for the proper perform ance of his duty.
 cordially recommend the division of counties into supervisOrial districts for the election of members of the board of supervisors.
 ''I would suggest that the counties of Pima, Santa Cruz and Pinal form one judicial district, and that Cochise, Gra- ham and Gila form another, thus di- viding between the two districts, in an equitable way the border sections of our territory, in the interest of the cause of securing prompt administra- tion of justice.
 '' recommend that primary elect ion law be enacted by this legislature.
 :'I would suggest that this is an ap- propriate time for the territory to make such a collection (prehistoric relics) by purchase or otherwise, for deposit and exhibition either in the territorial library or university.
 At the request of the Honorable Secretary of the Interior, I recommend the enactment of a law allowing the employees and officials of the United States geological survey entrance on private lands in this territory in fur tberance of government work of inter- est and value to all citizens of Arizo- na.
 "In all probability at this session of the legislature the question of an eight hour labor law will come up for consideration and discussion, and would respectfully suggest that fair and impartial view of the subject be taken: that consideration be given to the effect of the same upon the mining industry of the territory, as we'll as upon the labor interests.
 "I would respectfully request that I be allowed the services of an extra clerk, or secretary; a messenger or page, during the session of the legisla- ture.
 'I recommend that proper clerical assistance be allowed the auditor as the duties of his office increase.
 "I now take pleasure in recommend ing that proper and equitable salary be paid the treasurer.
 :" consistently believe the present to be the proper time for correction of the fee system now to some extent in vogue in the territory, and read justment of the salaries paid territor- ial officials.
 ''I would suggest that authority be granted the executive to double the of enlisted men in the force of Arizona rangers and authorize the | purchase of four more good pack ani- mals with equipment.

AMERICAN AUDIENCES.
Men and Women and Their EReC
Upon Public Meetings.

Men and Women and Their Eject
Upon Public Meetings.
American audiences are strangely
alike in some things and strangely dis
similar in others. A good committee
will take as much pains in the ar
rangement of it's audience as Of its
speakers. An audience seated without
crowding is seldom enthusiastic. Mel
Their is an audience whose hands are
occupied with bundles or umbrellas, an
audience largely composed of women
or an audience in a cold room. The
easiest audiences to address, the most
responsive and inspiring, are those
composed Of men crowded and packed
together and warm.
Women naturally do not applaud or
cheer. They are by instinct more self
restrained in the public expression of
their emotions than men. Every public
speaker is complimented by their pres
ence, knowing that their quiet word at
home is oftentimes more effective in
results than the most enthusiastic
shouting on the street corners by the
other sex. In a public meeting, how
ever, Tie duulcuCe SelS lIS cue IrOm
those nearest the speaker. remember
well two audiences, both from the
same social class, both crowded, both
in large theaters and both largely at
tended by women. One happened to be
in Colorado, one in Massachusetts,. In
one meeting the orchestra was re-
served for women. In the other meet
Ing the men had the orchestra and the
women had the lower gallery and all
the boxes In both cases the audiences
were entirely friendly to the speakers
The second meeting was marked by
wild enthusiasm. the first one by re-
spectful attention. In the second case
the mass of men in the orchestra urged
on the speakers by continued applause.
In the first case the men in the CALLER
les who started to applaud were
checked because between them and
the speakers was mass of absolutely
silent femininity in the orchestra. do
not say that one meeting Was less eff
fective than the other, but the differ
ence in the strain on the speaker was
marked.-From THE Spellbinder," by

A Complicated Case.

One such matter was presented to
Squire Prescott of Banbury.

stepping closer and speaking in low

farms with me, but we can't quite
agree on terms. His COW pasture is
better than mine, but I've got twice as
many BURBERRY bushes as he has; his
corn is all started, and mine isn't, but
I've got screens to five windows and
two doors; there's less stones in his
meadow land than there is in mine, but
there's more bog.
