A StArtlinG Test.

To save life, Dr. T. G. Merritt, of No. Mehoopany, Pa., made a startling test resulting in wonderful cure. He writes, "a patient was attacked with violent hemmorrhages, caused by ul- ceration of the stomach. I had often found Electric Bitters excellent for acute stomach and liver trouble so I prescribed them. The patient gained from the first. and has not had an at tack in IA mOnths." Electric Bitters are positively guaranteed for dyspep- sia, indigestion, constipation and kid ney troubles. Try them. Only soc. For sale by all druggists.

The X-RAys.

Recent experiments, by practical tests and examination with the aid of the X-Rays, establish it is fact that catarrh of the stomach is not disease of itself, but that it results from re- peated attacks of indigestion.

INCORPORATION TEES.
cowsn Biii, Passed by Last le1lsIature.
 Gives Good Revenue to Territory.

The Journal-Miner feels confident that there is one man in the territory who will be rejoiced to learn that the passage of the COwan bill has not en- tirely killed the incorporation busi- ness in the territory. That man is Kean St. Charles, editor of Our Min eral Wealth, of Kingman. In fact, taking Secretary Stoddard's report of the business done when he was getting the fees, and comparing it with the re- ceipts since the passage of the COwan bill, the passage of the bill has in- creased rather than diminished the volume of business. Editor Kean, from being a rampant advocate of the Cowan bill, suddenly turned tail to it., and became one of the staunchest op- ponents of it. and wanted it amended, just to save the business to the terri tory, being afraid if it passed without his amendment, that the business would go elsewhere.
 If we remember correctly, Secre- tary Stoddard reported that during a year and half the fees amounted to about SIS, 900, or about $l, ,O0O a month. The Cowan bill went into effect on March IS, and from that date until March 3l, the fees for filing articles of incorporation were slO23. During the month of April, Territorial Auditor Nichols turned into the territorial treasury from this source the snug little sum of s3326. This shows an in- crease in the business of over three times what it was when the fees were pocketed by one individual, instead of going to the territory. It is sincerely hoped that these gratifying figures may have the result of allaying Mir. St. Charles fears on the subject. Of course no one will doubt from what MT. St. Charles has said that if he had only known that this would have been the result, after the individual efforts of Mir. Stoddard had been with drawn from the business, he would not have fought the measure as vigor- ously as he did. The above figures must be very gratifying to all tax payers. It shows what mint the ter ritorial secretary had in the business of articles of incorporation as these filing fees represented only a portion of what he received from the business.

That it is the sense Of the state cen

TROPHY GOES OVER.
The International Tennis TrO-

Boston, Mass, August S.-The inter
national tennis trophy, presented three
years ago by Dwight F. Davis, Of this
country, goes to England, through the
united effort of r. F. and H. L. Do
herty, who clinched their hold on the
trophy by winning both matches In
singles today and scoring in the en-
tire contest four out of the total OF
five points. Each of the two contests
today went a full five sets, H. L. Do
herty, the British champion, defeaI-
:ng William A. Larned, the American
champion, 6.3, 6.S, 60, 2.6, rs; while
his brother disposed of r. D. Wrenn, u
former champion by score Of GA, So,
6$, GA.
Both matches were played on adjoin-
iGs courts and the 5000 tennis enthu-
silsts who surrounded the enclosure
probably saw the finest exhibition Of
tennis, in the history of the game.
From the very start the excitemene
was intense, and after each match had
been squared at the end of four sets,
every one was fairly on tiptOe until

mcny Of the witness relative to the To-
cation of trunk irons. The witness tes-
titled that to his knowledge his brother
usually kept his trunk in a corner Of the
room, but that the trunk irons, which
the fire could not destroy, were found
by him between the skeletons and the
fireplace.
Counsel for the defence upon cross
examination did not attempt to throw
doubt upon the reality of the tragedy,
or to place in uncertainty the iden-
tifications of the skeletons, but did try
to show that w. A. J. Soles, at his
house the day Of the tragedy, had seen
Coleman Smith, who by suspicious ac-
tions or rash statements had led him
to think that something was wrong at
his brothers house To testimony Of
this character and under the existing
circumstances counsel for the state OBJ
jected. The objection was sustained
and the defence excepted.
Counsel for the defence attempted by
various moves to bring out this testi-
mony, indicating, as a forerunner, that
part of the defence will be an attempt
ed implication of Smith in the crime,
but each move met with a prompt re-
lection from the state and as prompt
sustainment. Exception, after exception

and Hundreds of Homes

Ia ted mining district north and east
Of Pittsburg today, destroying hun
dreds of houses, mine tipples and
buildings of every description, level
ing to a mass of wreckage a large por-
ton Of every camp between Devlt1l

EVERYTHING II READINESS.
Plus Does Not Want Any Demon
stratiOn ut Coronation.

Rome, August S.-By special permis-
sion to the representative Of the Asso-
ciated Press was allowed to enter St
Peters tonight to observe the prepara-
tions for the coronation tomorrow. In
the central aisle a wide space has been
fenced off for the passage Of the cor
tege. The chapels, including that of ST.
Gregory where the pope pauSes, have
been richly decorated with red de-
mask fringed with gold. The papal
throne rises majestically at the farther
end of the great building, being a be-
wildering mixture of gold, red and sill
yer, and appearing altogether too gor-
geous to be sat in.
The new pope has been upSetting all
customs at the Vatican. When cour-
tiers thought today to give him pleas
IRE by saying that he would have a
tremendous reception at st. Peters on
Sunday, the pope was much displeas-
ed and absolutely forbade anything Of
the kind, saying that he would not have
it. He called his Major Domo, who
thereupon issued the following procla-
ma ton, which was distributed as wide
ly as possible:
1T is the warm desire Of his Holi-
ness to have no demonstration at the
Vatican or basilica and that the most
devout and most religious silence be
maintained"
The out cry regarding the distribution
Of the tickets for the coronation cere-
monies has assumed vast proportions.
Many DISTINGUISHED Catholics, especial
ly foreigners, have arrived in Rome
for the purpose of being present at the
ceremonies and they have been unable
to obtain tickets, while spectators are
selling them on the streets.
The government has ordered 1000
troops to occupy the plaza in front of
St, Peters at o'clock Sunday morning.
The departure from Rome Of Cardi-
nails Langenieux and Lecot without
waiting for the coronation is much COM
mented upon, as the French cardinals
had refused until the last moment to
vote for Sarto.

is out of the question now, an extension
Of time was conceded by the st. Johns

pany, Manager Johnson is stated to have
settled back in his chair and announced
that the council could put in any period
they pleased, for the company would
never sign any ordinance that contained
the st. Louis clause. President Billiard
is quoted as being exceeding wroth in
consequence of the attitude Of the Mich
igan Suburban manager and informed
