AS A HEALTH DOCTOR.
Passenger Agent George II. Daniels of New
York Central. Wins

Passenger Agent George II. Daniels of New
York Central, Wins.
One of the sights of New York CITY
at present is the Grand Central sta
tion. The passenger movement over
the New York Central during the pres
ent season has been the largest in the
history of the line, and the earnings
from this source win eclipse all pre-
vious records. This satisfactory show.
ing is due almost wholly to the match
less perfection of the passenger de-
uartment under the management Of
George II. Daniels, the general pas
senger agent. Mr. Daniels work in
this connection is not generally un--
derstood by the public.
He has literally lifted into favor the,
innumerable resorts along the line.
and while the Catskills, the Adirop-
dacks, the Thousand Islands and the
long list of other summer places have
always drawn on New York for the
vacation season, thousands visit them
now where hundreds took the trips be-
fore. 1t was not until Mr. Daniels took
up the work ofadvertising these places
and making clear to prospective visi-
tors that it did not cost a fortune to-
spend vacation at any of them, that
the boom set in.
The result has redounded to the,
profit of the New York Central to the.
extent of million or more a year,
perhaps, but in another direction it
has raised the standard of health for.
thousands and thousands of city peo-
pie, who never would have known of
the many restful vacation spots near at
hand had Mr. Daniels not called at
tention to them. He can point tomore
cures effected through advertising than
a whole catalogue of medical men can
show as a result of drug dosing. His
railway tickets are his only prescrip-
tions, and their popularity and efficacy
are to be read in the increased passen-
ger receipts of the New York Central.

gram that he had died on Sunday there

W. Z. Dodge is known to nearly ev-

Mr.. Dodge was also one of the most
liberal donors toward the building fund
OF the Presbyterian church in this city,
and through his personal influence were
enlisted others who gave literally to-
ward the building of that handsome
edifice.

TRAINING DOWN BURROS
Rios Was Contemplating a Jaunt to
Hagdalena.

Juan Rios, diminutive Mexican. was
in Justice Burnett's court yesterday to
answer the charge of cruelty to ami
mais in starving a couple of burros-
The attention of the neighbors and of
the police have for some time been di-
rected to the sufferings of those burros,
and Rios had been demonstrated with
to no purpose, and latterly when they
spoke TO him about the starvation of
the animals he betrayed Impotence
and said that they belonged to him.
He offered in court two excuses for
his cruelty; one was that he had been
too poor to buy anything for them to
eat. When he was asked why he did
not sell them he said he needed them
in his business. The other excuse was
that he intended to start shortly on a
trip. to Magdalena with them, and he
said it was a well-known fact that
when burros were going to make such =
long trip they ought not to be too fat.
He had been training them down to the
hardships of the journey by the Bant
ing process. The less of their own
weight they had to carry the easier
the trip would be for them.
Rios said that the gods had smiled
upon him since his arrest and he had

Sheriff Ben Slaughter.
Gould does not deny having killed
Caldwell. but claims that he shot IN
self-defense, and that he has never
tried to evade the officers, but has re-
manned in the vicinity of the killing
ever since.
Gould's story is disbelievcd in both
particulars. The theory of the killing
is that after having had trouble with
the dead man he laid in wait and am
pushed him. Gould refusese to talk on
the subject until his case comes up fer
trial.
The Concensus of opinion is that
Gould committed the murder in cold
blood. and that he never gave Caldwell
a chance to fight. When the trial OF
Gould comes up in the courts it Will
furnish one CT the most interesting
cases that has been heard in this coun-
ty for some time, as no one saw the
crime committed, and circumstantial
evidence will play an important part in
the finding of a verdict.
The accounts of the crime at that
time said that Caldwell was found with
q bullet hole in his back. and that ev-
cry chamber of his revolver was load

The capture of Gould was effected af-
ter three weeks of searching by the
officers, who surprised him, with others,
in their camp in the mountains. Ran

KEEPING PROMISES
Phoenix Appreciates Always When
Promises Are Kept.

Every time YOU read about Deans
Kidney Pills you are told they cure cv-
cry form of kidney ill, from backac che
to urinary disorders. How are our
promises kept? Ask any citizen who
has tried the treatment. Ask the man
who makes the following statement:
II. T. Dichl, miner, of 15S r. Alameda
St. Tucson. Ariz.. says: My expert
ence with Doan's Kidney Pills proved
that they are every thing claimed for
them. In the month of February. 1902,
l first felt Il slight pain across the
small of my back directly over the kid
neys, probably caused by a cold set
Ting in those organs. 1t was not seri-
Gus, but it struck me if neglected it
might lead to future trouble, and read
ing one night in Tucson paper about
Doan's Kidney Pills my daughter went
to Martins drug store for a box. l took
them as directed and when I had COM
pleted the treatment the pain in my
back disappeared. l was so surprised
at the prompt and efficient relief given
by Doan's Kidney Pills that 1 recon-
mended them to a number of my ac-
quaintances and even went so far as to
mail a box to a friend of mine living
in Orc Blanco who had kidney trouble"
Just such emphatic endorsement can
be had right here in Phoenix. Drop
into the Brisiey Drug Co.'S drug store
and ask what their customers report.
