THE R0OS INQUEST
The Jury Will Probably Find That
 Poisoning Was Accidental.

The inquiei-iea onCerniag tsc CT cUmscances attending the death or Mrs. liZabath Roos was resumed yes terday morning befcre Justice Burnett but they were not cOhcluded. The evil dcrce brought out constituted an ac- count similar to The Republican 5 story Of the tragedy yesterday morn inS, though it rather strengthened the theory Of accidental poisoning. Tre jury will return a verdict tlis InuIn- ing.
 It will be TenleIuber that in the story of yesterday it was stated that pr. Tafel said sthat when he reached the side Of the unfortunate woman she murmUred 'strychnine." That was all the doctor heard. for he hurried away to his house nearby for medical ap- pliances. Her husband reached her side at the same tiine and heard her gay, "st-ychnine." and also heard her add, 'by mistake; help"
 It was also brought out that her mar ried life had been a happy one. that she had not been subject to fits Of de- spOndenoy, and that except for an ir- disposition Of which she had complain ed that morning she was as cheerful as ever. IL is generally believed that the jury will find that the poisoning was accidental.
 The friends of Mrs. Roos are invit- ed to call al Mohn & Doris tomorrow between the hours of one and five o'clock to look for the last time upon her face. The body will then be seal ed up and kept to be removed at some future time to the east for interment

Important

Of all the important pieces of furni- turs in the house there are none that rank with the range upon which the meals are cooked. Bedroom sets and parlor furniture may differ in quality and beauty of finish according to the means of the owner; carpets may be of the finest texture and most beauti- ful weave, or there may be TO car pets at aH Pictures may ornament the walls, expensive vases and bric-a- brac may beautify the rooms. All these good things make the house brighter and hal pier, but all are of secondary importance compared 10 that piece of furniture upon which the three meals 2 day are cooked for a65 days in the lear. It is for these reasons that every household not al- ready possessing a good range should have a MOORE'S STEEL RANGE.
 You can buy a Moore's Steel Range anywhere from $2O to $67.50 at Dav- idson's Cash Store. They have the largest line in Arizona Territory. They keep thirty-four different styles and all have square ovens. drop oven doors, adjustable freboxes. They are asbestos lined, boiler riveted, and have draw-out ash pans. Every one Is guaranteed to be the best baker you ever used, if you haven't used Moore's and for saving of fuel they have no equals. Remember these are not idle claims simply arising from the desire to sell all the ranges sold in Phoenix, although we would like to sell all of them. But every range we sell is sold with the understanding that it meets the claims we make or money refunded. In the meantime if you contemplate purchasing a range remember that it will pay you to visit Davidson's Cash Store, the store of bargains in Hardware, Ranges, Crock cry, Stationery, Guns, Cutlery, Tents, Woodenware, Tinware, Enamelled Ware Lamps and thousands of useful things.
