TELEPHONE CONSTRUCTION
Tonto Line Will Reach Mormon Flat
 by February1.

James R. Thorpe. who has the con- tract for building the government tel ephone line from here to the Tonto dam site, reports that he is making fine pro- gress with the work. He was at the construction camp last week and will probably leave for there again today or tomorrow.
 He says his construction force now consist of about 50 head of horses and thirty men. The line, temporarily, is connected with the Arizona canal line at the Arizona dam. and every evening he goes to the canal office and com municates with his foreman respecting the progress of the work The line is now completed Al miles from Phoenix and by the first of the month it is ex- nected it will be finished to Mormon Flat, which is fifty miles from here The poles are now set fifteen miles be- Yond the end of the wire. MT. Thorpe believes in treating his men literally believing that he gets better work as a result. They only work eight hour: and do not work Sundays unless they wish to. but as there is usually littl. else to do in camp many of them would rather work than not. The camp cui- sine seems to be very satisfactory tc the men and he furnishes them with better board than can always be ob- tained in town. Sunday week while Mir Thorpe was in camp he suggested that they had all better rest day and thei did go. All but three of them went ir bathing in Salt river, showing that il isn't so awful cold ir this country after all.

acreage of public land, now rapidly becoming a thing of the past The transformation of the west presents new questions and the problem of the west is not merely the problem or the state but of the nation. The country is rapidly becoming more like Europe and there are many issues that must be met. Personally he had no solu- tion to offer and is not a prophet. Most people find refuge for the things that menace the future in feeling Of optimism. For himself, he said that he believed the real principle Of denoc- racy has been so firmly established that there will be no retracing of steps and little danger. It will save the nation from the evils of city life as 1t has rescued and saved the frontier. Further he believes that the same principle will be the dominant one in the government that may be provided by the nation for the islands of the sea.

MIsFlT WAR CORRESPONDENT.
Hunting for Restaurant in a Plum
 dered City.

When the allied armies marched in o Peking and raised the siege of the foreign legations, Bilkington trailed in he wake of the columns. The editor If a London illustrated weekly had al- owed him to escape in an unguarded moment, and he came to Tien Tsin with the Idian field post outfit, and the good natured chaps of the service for yarded him to Picking. where he was turned loose to forage for himself.
 Bilkington was an accident as a war correspondent; as a campaigner he was positively crime. Ee had never be- fore been beyond the suburbs of Lon- lon, he had never ridden a horse and as for getting food otherwise than by ordering 1t in a respectable restaur- ant from a bill of fare, his experience was a blank. A long. emaciated, help ess figure of a cockney weighed down with the heaviest camera ever seen outside a photographers studio, this
 lleged correspondent was wandering through the clamorous streets of loot d Peking searching for assistance, when I was luckless enough to scrape acquaintance with him. He was as much out of place in the rough-and- tumble game as ribbon counter clerk n a cavalry charge.

TIMBER SUNK IN RIVER BEDS.
Fortune Awaits the Inventor of a
 Method to Recover 1t.

''If some scheme could be devised, ,'' said George w. Noble of Saltwater at the Plankinton, by which the sunken legs which fill the beds of rivers and creeks in the logging sections of this country could only be recovered, inn mense fortunes would be made. Along the St Croix waters it is estimated that logs enough are imbedded in the sand of river bottoms to keep mills running for years. Under present conditions the loss is total, for no successful method has ever been devised 10 effect this say ing.
 occasionally logs cut years ago are forced by the washings of floods from their sand beds and driven upon the Shores( where the action of sun and wind dries them out sufficiently so that they will float downstream, but the per- centage of logs recovered is small, and millions of dollars worth of property is lost beyond recovery until some enter prising genius invents machine or process to recover the timber.
 At Saltwater logs occasionally come to the sorting booms bearing marks in use half q century ago, and when they appear the old lumbermen grow remi- IiSteUl or IIleH WILD nave Det'n lOIlR IOT- gotten, but who were important oper- ators in the pioneer logging days of Wisconsin and Minnesota.
 No possible estimate can be made of the amount of timber thus lost, but lumbermen estimate that the rivers of Wisconsin, in the value of the logs | buried in their sands, have fortunes of millions of dollars if the logs could be recovered.
 ' Strange as it may appear, the value of the timber is not lessened, even after it has been submerged for half or quar- ter of century. Efforts have been oc- casionally made to recover sunken logs 1 At one time a company was organized at Saltwater to dredge streams and
 thus recover some of the timber, but | the nlan did not work with any great | degree of success, this method being found too expensive. Some one will come along some day with a plan, and this immensely valuable product, now
 lost will be recovered. .'-Milwaukee

A SAFFORD HOMICIDE
Dr. C. L. Wish Killed by His Stepson
 Lawrence Wish.

One of the most sensational killings ever enacted in Graham county occur ed in Stafford Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Lawrence Wish shot his step father, Dr. c. L. Wish, through the heart, killing him instantly, says the Irternational-Ameri The doctor had been ealing upon a patient and as he emerged from the door he was shot down.
 Various rumors are rife as to the mo- tive for the killing. It is rumored that the doctor had been making systematic efforts to poison his wife and son, and that the latter, hearing of if, took re- venge on lis stepfather. Lawrence Wish was a resident of Morenci, where he is we'll and favorably known and where he has the reputation of being a peaceful citizen. He is married and has a wife and one child. Dr. Wish is We'll connected in the valley and was one of the most prominent physicians. The preliminary hearing was to have been held yesterday.
 This news, received in Phoenix yes- terday, was a. great shock to friends of pr. Wish, who live here and know the family we'll. Among them is A P. Walbridge. who considered Dr. Wish one of his warmest friends. He did not know, however, that the doctor had a stepson. MT. Walbridge has been we'll acquainted with him for over six years and every time he has visited Safford he has been welcome guest of both
 pr. and Mrs. Wish. The former was at one time greatly addicted to the use of liquor but on the recommendation of 9 friend came to Phoenix to see MT. Walbridge, who is the local representa- tive of company making a remedy for the c'Ire of the liquor habit Dr. Wish took the treatment and has since been a total abstainer, frequently writ ing to Mir. Walbridge and referring to a debt of gratitude which he could never discharge.
 His last letter from Dr. Wish was written on the 11th of this month. In il he stated that Mrs. Wish was sufferine 1 tortures from neuralgia of the stomach and he was almost distracted lest she | might not recover He recounted al length what a good wife she had beer
 to him and how desolate his life would
 be in the event of her death, mentioning | also, with fatherly devotion, a son | Walter. who is yet boy of tender years. He referred to the fact that ht was ct the bedside of his wife con- stantly and that he had three other
 physicians in attendance. He also re- | iates at some length his own short comings previous to his reformation | with the statement that since that time | his home had been happy one in ev- | cry way till his wife was stricken witt | disease. The tone of the letter certainly | indicates that he would be the last | man in the world to attempt the poi
 soning of his wife, and his friends her,
 refuge to believe such a suggestion.

pleasant to have attention drawn to

pleasant to have attention drawn to ones age"
 It is a fact that almost all women more than twenty years old, and many men over forty, are sensitive on the subject of age, but few of them could give any explanation of their feeling that would not be puerile. Apparently they are ashamed at having arrived at years of discretion" but they would repudiate that explanation in dignantly. Surely there is nothing discreditable in the bodily health that conduces to long life nothing degrading in having escaped fatal accident and disease.
 Why should it be unpleasant to havD attention drawn to ones age when one is neither very young or very old? Y is not unpleasant to have attention called to ones hair r1less the color be red, white. blue, green, yellow, orange, or violet.

PERcIvAL's WARDROBE.
Traveller Strikes Mexico With More
 Clothes Than Prima Donna.

Edgar Percival Whipple of. Roches- ter, N. T., arrived in the city yesterday and has suite of five rooms at Port CTS. MT. Whipple is somewhat of a globe trotter. having visited all the principal cities of the United States and Europe. He had some trouble at tn: border with the customs officers in the examination of his baggage, being de
 layed at Fl Paso two days in obtaining the necessary papers whereby he could pass his personal baggage without be
 ing compelled to pay duty.
 His effects consist of fourteen trunks Eight of these are of the Saratoga make and larger than the common trav- el,er's trunk. There are four different styles of cane cases and five umbrella holders, eleven leather hat boxes and twenty-three grips of different styles. Nine of these he brought with him in | the Pullman, having engaged two sec
 tions for travelling from the Pass City here.
 He will be in the city several weeks on pleasure trip, and will no doubt be a conspicuous figure in the parades on San Francisco street. His wardrobe is : the work of merchant tailo-s from. all over the world. y MT. Whi-p:e will probably not visit the tailoring establishments of this ci.y, as the following list of wearing apparel seems sufficient to hold him for a while although only part Of his outer gar ments, which consist of 13S pairs oi trousers.

THE LATIN INQUEST
Whoever the Dead Man Was He Had
 Friends in High Places.

The inquest upon Aurelia ,Jattin. the man who died in the county jail Cn Sunday night, soon after having been found in an unconscious condition on South Seventh avenue near the river. was concluded yesterday afternoon. Only two things were finally disclosed One was that death was the result of natural causes though that was the opinion from the beginning. There had been very slight suspicion that he might have taken poison.
 An examination was made by Dr. Hughes yesterday and he found a blood clot in the heart. The clot it. self might net have caused death if that organ had been otherwise in a healthy condition, but it was not. The stomach was found to be filled thus showing that there had been no dis turbance by poison.
 Nobody could be found who had seer the man, but his identity was pretty we'll established by the letters which were found in his pockets. They were translated yesterday by MT. Pina,s the Mexican consul. There were recom- mendations of the highest character One was from the sugar manufacturing company by which he had been en- ployed and another was from Q Mexi- can senator, enc of the most promi- 1ent men in the republic.
 Mir. Pima is of the opinion that the man was not a Mexican. almost cer- tainly not a full blooded Mexican. H. may have been Mexican and French It is probable that correspondence vii be opened with the writers of the let ters in order to find out more about him.

ADJUSTMENTS
"clRcUMsTANTIAL EVIDENCE"

"Circumstantial Evidence" which will be produced with a car load of new and special scenery tonight at The Doris theater. is a play of unus- ual merit. The story on which the drama is based Is one which we often meet in every day life.
 James Castle, twenty years before the story opens. during a drunken carouse. deserted his wife and two children. The wife dies of a broken heart and the children grow to man and womanhood, having been reared and educated by an uncle.
 Two years before the story opens. James Castle returns, seeking his wife and children, after having reformed and amassed a fortune.
 He is met at the station by Ludloe. who has assumed the name of Clark, driven to an unfrequented place, killed and robbed. At the beginning of the play Ludloe tries to win the affection of the daughter Ruth, but is inter- rupted by the appearance of Lieut.. Arthur Cransford, who is an old friend of the Castle family, battle royal en- | sues.
 While there are many pathetic scenes l which make us all better men and wo- | men TOT naNlnB seen them, there IS an abundance of wholesome comedy. Ruth is most charming character and shows the kind of material our American girls are made cf She and her lover have many trials and while | the black shadow of the wing of death is spread over her fiance she clings to him as only a woman can in such an hour.
 Brave Arthur. convicted of a crime which he never committed, will bring tears to your eyes when you hear him trying tc console his sweetheart as the sheriff Is about to lead him to execu- | tion.
 Did you ever read a book or hear g singer render a song which made youl blood jingle with a magnetic sym pathy? That's the way you feel when you see Circumstantial Evidence.

Greater and greater grows the public iD- terest in Prof. AunyOn's new Paw-Paw cure. Druggists say they never had such a demand for new remedy. Many peo- pie who procured a trial bottle say they began to feel better after taking the first cose. It not only acts as tonic, but gives the stomach an abiding strength to digest everything that Is put into it. Peo- pie who have been unable to retain any solids on their stOmaChs now declare they can eat a hearty meal without any dis comfort The most marvellous effect of this PawPaw remedy is its wonderful curative effect upon the nerves. It seems to soothe, calm and strengthen them.
 Prof. AIunyon says that this PawPaw remedy feeds the nerves and relieves them of all irritation and friction. It isn't q narcotic to put them to sleep, but a rem edy that will give them a lasting strength.
 don't believe, says Prof. Munyon, that a better remedy for the blood and liver was ever compounded. I have seen slug gish livers that had refused to act under the usual treatments respond in most marvellous way by the use of PawPaw.
 Paw-Paw seems to digest everything 1t touches; hence it makes good, rich blood, which in turn strengthens and YItaliZcS the whole nervous system.
 1 want all persons who suffer with dys- pepsia or nervous trouble to cast away all other remedies and to give Paw-Paw fair trial. want every weak and debilitated person to get bottle of Paw-Paw at once and take it according to directions.
 I know it will make old folks feel young and weak folks strong.
 I want all persons who feel they are in need of tonic to drop the use of al- coholic drinks of all kinds and take Paw Paw in it's place. People don't crave for stimulants when the stomach and nerves are in a healthful condition. Munyon' s Paw-Paw gives exhilaration without intox- ication.
