II Must Come.

AS inevitable as the changing seasons OF
the year is the change which comes 70
every woman And just as one anticipates
the changes of other seasons 1t is wise TO
anticipate this change of season and pre-
pare for it. In this way the discomforts
and disasters suffered by many women at
the period of change can be avoided or
overcome.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. med,
icine for eyery season of woman's life, will
entirely meet the n, eds of women at this
period of change. 1t cures the Pnysicai
Ills and relieves the mental anxiety and
denression usually associated with this
critical neriod. 1t tranquilizes the nerves,
encourages the appetite and induces re-
freshing sleep.

the date of such information. A full answer to all these inquiries is neces- sary to a proper understanding of the case, and if given can not but confirm the general belief thac the so-called revolution was the result of collision between the government al Washing ton and the representatives of the Panama canal. It is well that the resolution comes from MT. Hoar in- stead of a Democrat. as it might be charged as a partisan attack. Con- sidering the source and the context of the resolution, it evidently implies nothing but a direct searching after the truth in a matter in which the president has by partial disclosures been placed in a very unenviable DO sition. In Western phrase Senator Hoar may be said to be hewing to the line regardless as to which way the chips fly.

from a train of cars and he wedged his way among them.
 Among the cattlemen in charge of the animals in the pen was john Mendoza. who has taken part in in numerable round-ups in Texas and is skillful with the lariat.
 Stone ran to the end of the pier and jumped overheard. The boy swan on. ,and was fast leaving his pursuers behind, when a tug was hail. ed from the pier and ordered by De tective Nelson to stop. As soon as the pilot was told what was the mat ter, he threw loose the ropes, which held him to the barge he was towing, and came in to take the detective on board.
 Mendoza and several of the pur- suers jumped on board. and the pilot started. full steam Iahfad, for the boy. They soon overlook him. ..ien- doZa was standing on the lower deck of the tug. He had found a small three-strand rope and had improvised lariat of it. He swung it about his head as the tug drew near the boy. The boys head went beneath the wa ter, and as he came to the surface Mendoza cast the moose over it. The boy was then hauled on board. He was almost frozen from being in the icy water so long, but had not lost his nerve.

 Minneapolis. Baltimore and Buffalo also are in the race, but some of the committeeman oppose their claims on the ground that the selection of a city more centrally located would be more to the interests of the party.
 Talks with leading prohibitionists in attendance on the meeting indicate that the party intends to put up a strong race in the next presidential campaign. The last election showed losses for the party in several of their former strongholds, but it is claimed that these have been more than counterbalauced by the strong temperance sentiment lately devel- oped in Texas and several other states. No mention of possible can didates is heard. Following the es- tablished custom the party probably will name a western, man for presi- dent and an eastern man his running mate on the ticket. Long campaigns are usually for some reason made by prohibitionists, the party being the first in the field with their ticket. Following this custom the national convention probably will be hell in March or April of next year. which will be at least a month in advance Of the national conventions of the so- cial democrats or other minor parties.

METAL SOMEWHAT PRIMER.
Sellers Want to Hold for Higher
 Prices in View of Better Outlook.

There is a rather frmer tone to the copper market and late sellers of 12 cents and under are inclined to ask higher prices, says The American Metal Market. In one quarter bids on Saturday at 12 cents for Lake were declined The news from Water burg, from the tube mills especially, is not very encouraging, but outside Of this there is a growing feeling Of confidence in the trade. and there is a general disposition to hold for higher prices in view of the improved business outlook.
 The Boston News Bureau says: We have investigated fully the reports originating in the London financial papers that large supplies of copper were stored in private warehouses in Great Britain. These papers claims that as the amount is not includ~ in the visible supply of copper in pub lie warehouse, the Amalgamated must be storing large quantities of copper abroad.
 We are also able to state from thorough investigation that the Anal gamated Copper Company mas not a single pound of unsold copper on the other side of the Atlantic at the pres ent time There are some large pri- vate stores, but they belong to large consumers. It is true that the visi- ble supply in public warehouses does not adequately represent the stock abroad, but it is not true that it is unsold copper belonging to the Amal- gamated. The Amalgamated has large stocks of unsold copper in this country. but this stock of unsold cop per was very much larger the first of than it is today.
 The Amalgamated Go. has forced the price of copper down and has ma6e very large sales, principally abroad. In this respect the foreign appear to have done veryI well by holding of, and they havel

Though Jail Empties
 Court Goes On Forever
THE COURT HOUSE TODAY WAS
 SCENE OF MUCH TALK.
Excitement Over the Astounding Jail Break Was lntense-Topic Subject Of Comment Everywhere.
Special to the ReviewD

Tombstone, Dec. 16.-The excite ment around the court house today was of an intense character. Law. yers, Jurymen, witnesses and citizens stood around and discussed the sub iect animatedly. The saloons did a good business over the event, ana hundreds visited the old jail to look at the hole in the wall through which nineteen prisoners had escaped the evening before.
 Word was eagerly looked for at the sheriff's office that would tend to give the hope that some clew had been found as to the direction taken by the persons who had escaped, and their ultimate destination.
 Deputy sherifs telephoned. Mes sages were received from the various posses that were out securing the country for the dare-devils who had made such a wholesale jail delivery, but not a word was received that would indicate a single thing. They had apparently dropped from of the face of the earth. The court was in session just the same, and groun- along on the humdrum calendar with methodical energy.
 Frank Kline is to plead tomorrow morning to the indictment of bursia- ry. This prisoner refused to leave [ hn 5oiI al "a tho tunity to go with the others.
 Pollicarpio Barra is also to plead to the charge of grand larceny, and n. Fisher and Richards to the charge of attempted murder.
 The following civil cases were dis. posed of by continuance to the next term Of court: De Martini vs. Cro- min; Clark vs. Robinson and Tootey; Castenada vs. the Arizona Clay Nan Company; Crane vs. the Cochise Land and Cattle Company; Crockett vs. Pritchard; Juardo ys.

the Amalgamated and some other American producers. They have been buying the very highest grade of Lake Superior copper at around 12 1-2 cents, and at the same time have been offering electrolytic copper in this country to manufacturers at slightly under 12 cents. The Anal gamated has sold no electrolytic cop per at under 12 cents, but its askin- price has been as low as 12 cents for electrolytic and 12 cents for lake, with the Calumet asking price 1-2 cents.

The gang of nineteen birds who es- capped from the Tombstone jail must have done their work surrounded with feather pillows. They sawed two-by-fours, sawed and twisted steel bars, pushed out a brick wall, strung a rope, and nineteen of them left by the rope route to freedom. All this took time and noise. And nobody heard, saw them, or have seen them since. Well, We'll, Well!,,

SENATOR HOAR
 WANTS TO KNOW.

The venerable old Senator from Massachusetts is again ''rubbering' around the capital, wanting to know, you know,'' something about things. One of those things is the Panama matter. For several days it has been given out that there is liable to be a conflict between troops of the United States and those Of Columbia Thus, if these reports be true, and the further one that Colombia is mobiliz- ing troops and American regulars are on their way and being landed at lGolon, We would seem to be quite well
 B the way to war, which, insignifi lpresent time and distance, may grow kp magnitude as it progresses, draw
 2 into it other powers not now in,.
 lcated.
 The carefully worded resolution ot
 iquiry, touching the steps already aken by the executive, introduced by Senator Hoar. implies that his anti imperialistic principles are quite as applicable to the Panama usurpation as to the Philippine conquest. It is not altogether an assured fact that MT. Roosevelt will be permitted to have as free rein, as he started out with, or that his extreme course may not be the issue upon which the spo- radio, but rapidly developing discon- tent, exhibited against him on many issues, may not find common ground of opposition to him.
 The resolution of Senator Hoar is unusually minute and searching in it's points of inquiry, and, while courteous is as incisive as an indictment with the additional force of legal argu- ment in support of it.
 in the present instance Senator Hoar desires the country to know cer- tain facts which have evidently been suppressed, and which go to the very rodf of the extraordinary policy which has been pursued. He wishes the President to state specifically, wheth- CT at the time of the ratification of the treaty with Panama the latter had successfully established its independ- ence, adopted a constitution and au- thorized the persons who made the treaty to negotiate and ratify it. IL further desires to know whether the negotiators or ratifers are interested in the construction of the canal whether the secession of Panama was authorized by the constitution of Co., lombia. or if Colombia was prevented by the United States in any way from asserting its authority to thwart the secession; requesting also statement of all instruction given to the civil, military or naval officers in the prem ises These are far-reaching inqui- ries. resp5nse to which, as others which follow them, unless the presi- dent reply that an answer to them would be incompatible with the pub lie interest, will place the executive in an embarrassing position.
 It is, however, in the last portion of the resolution that the most searcn- ing and apparently inculpatory inqui- " is made. In this the president is requested to state at what time he received information of any revolu- tion or resistance to Colombia in Pan ana, and whether the president was cognizant of any expected or intend ed revolution before it occurred, with
