Some New AphOrisms.

Testifying in her suit for divorce il
Chicago recently, Mrs. Caroline Lee,
man told how she offered to sell bel
husband to Mrs. Louisa Peacock fol
s25, 900, and the latter offered only
5000 and the deal fell through. In
the short time Mrs. Leeman was on the
stand she established, according to
Judge Dunno, a new record for di-
vorce court aphorisms. Among them
we're:
"When a man is drunk, he writes
the best love letter."
"Some women are not very lucky
with men,"
Sometimes women want to cry out
when struck, but the baby's asleep"
"When women throw things at men,
they don't always really intend to
hit them, but sometimes they're
lucky"
"a woman shouldn't cry when a
man hits her. She should fight.
Then she should hide her face in
shame at having such man."

old to reform, ask him"

The expenditures Of the United
States government are much less in
proportion to population than those
of many other of the leading nations
of the world. This fact is shown by
a statement just published by the de-
partment of commerce and labor,
through its bureau of statistics, show
ing the population, revenues, expen-
ditures, and Indebtedness of the prin-
cipaI countries of the world. 1t shows
that while the expenditures of the
United States with eighty millions of
people, is s64O, 600, 600, that of the
United Kingdom, with forty two mill
ions of people is s89S, 900, 900, that of
France, with thirty nine million
people, is $685., 900, 600; that of Ger
many, with fifty eight million people,
1858, 900, 600; while in practically
every country aside from China and
India, with their enormous popula-
tion, the per capita of government
expenditures is greater than in the
United States. Even in the case of
Russia, with its population of l4l,
600, 600, the per capita of government
expenditures is about the same as that
of the United States.

Tinge of Romance.

Last Saturday evening, April 23rd,
1904, F. o. Wells and Miss Della r.
Pierce took their many friends by
surprise by securing license and 60
ing before Judge Hume of this city
and having the nuptial knot tied and
being pronounced man and wife.
They we're accompanied by Miss May
CaufmaD, Mr.. Quinn and Mr.. Alice.
Miss Pierce is the oldest daughter
of our esteemed townsman and assist
ant postmaster W. j. Pierce and wife.
She is one of Rollla's most beautiful
and attractive girls and very popu-
lar.
Mr.. Wells is son of one of the
wealthiest and most prominent citi
zens of Prescott, Arizona. For the
past three years he has been a student
at the School of Mines and every one
who has made his acquaintance was
pleasantly impressed that Mr.. Wells
was in every sense gentleman. Oar
ing the present session he has been
one of the hard working students and
has stood we'll in bis classes.
Mr.. Wells and Miss Pierce met in
Rolla about two years ago and ever
since Mr.. Wells has been one of her
ardent admirers, and while the act of
their marriage at this time was a sur
prise because only those who wit
messed it knew of it, but their getting
married was no surprise.
After the wedding ceremony was
performed Mr.and Mrs. Wells notified
the BRIDES parents by note of their
action, and while there we're regrets
that the ceremony was not performed
at home, the next lay the bride ara
groom called upon her father and
mother and both received their richest
blessings. Mr.. Wells also notified
his parents in Prescott.
The young couple have received
the warmest congratulations from
their many friends and we all join
in wishing them perfect bliss and hap
piness in all their days to come

Little Boy Burglars.

Two Mexican boys we're discovered
in the act of stealing some articles
from the premises of the Journal
Miner editor yesterday afternoon,
when Jay Martin, one of the paper
carriers, pursued them on horseback,
overtaking them north of town, and
compelled them to mount his horse
behind him, and he then delivered
them to Chief of Police Prince. The
officer searched them and found a
miscellaneous aggregation of small
articles on them, which they had
stolen. They claimed that they had
hoboed their way here from Ell Paso.

Return of the Auto Party.

The automobile party arrived in
Prescott at 10 O'Clock last night from
their voyage to Tucson. They we're
absent just thirteen days, having left
Prescott on the morning of April %.
This date fell on Friday and it may
be possible that the poor luck attend
ing them on the trip was due to this.
They were all as happy and in as
good spirits on their return as though
there had been nothing to mar the
pleasure of the trip. All the unpleas-
ant features of the trip have been
"cut out" of their memory and they
can only think of the good things
which happened to them while away,
and they report having had most de-
lightful time, despite any little mis-
haps which occurred to their ma
chimes, as these are liable to happen,
and in fact do happen to the best reg
ulated automobiles. They made the
trip yesterday from Stanton. They
we're cordially received and royalty
entertained at Tucson by the good
people of that town, and while there
we're taken on many trips around the
town. The experience of the trip in
otead of being discouraging have only
whetted the appetite of the party for
another trip and they are now talking
of one to the Grand Canyon.
In conversation with Walter Miller
and Alex Lyons this morning
these gentlemen say that while the
trip took little longer than they
first anticipated, yet they did not feel
that they were in any terrible hurry
and on account of there being three
ladies and one little girl in the party
they took it at easy stages. The short
est distance they travelled in any one
day was the first day after leaving
here, the distance being twenty six
miles. The only bad places in the
roads we're between here and Kirk
land, the trouble there being the
high centers in the road. Also between
Wickenburg and Hot Springs junction
where the sand, .Mr. Miller said, was
close to 400 feet deep. 1t was while
going through this sand that Fl. D.
Aitken crippled his machine so badly
by getting sand in the high speed
clutches that he could only run with
the hill climbing clutch. This COM
PEELED him to leave his machine in
Phenix and send for the repairs. He
had to go from Phenix to Tucson on
the train and therefore missed the
very prettiest part of the trip. Mr..
Miller also says the report that anyone
had to be pulled into Phenix by
horses is not true as all the machines
made the trip without any assistance.
The Phenix automobiles entertain
ed the party royalty but none of them
made the trip to Tucson with the
party.
When within sixteen miles of Tue
son they began to meet machines
coming out to escort them into town
and by the time they had reached
Tucson there we're fourteen automo-
Oiles in line, which made a magnifi-
cent showing.
In both going and coming the party
ost the roads and in this way lost |
'ully a days time. The entire dis
ance travelled was $50 miles. Messrs.
Miller and Lyons left here about |
loon for jerome going by way of
Cherry creek.

WARS POLITICAL ASPECT.

Already the japanese victory at
Feng Huan Cheng is having conse-
ouences for the outside world which
we're not anticipated at the outset.
When the japanese drove the Russians
out of Antung they left the road open
to the foreign consuls to enter that
important town. Apparently the
United States has been the first to
take advantage of this condition.
Consul Davidson has gone to that
point, and the commercial privileges
which we gained here under the Chi
nese treaty which was ratified just be-
fore the beginning of the war are now
about to be enjoyed. The Importance
of this move by our authorities is
grasped all over the world. Said the
London Globe yesterday: 1.-The
triumph of the open door has begun,
and the United States has given once
more a sign of its clear appreciation
Of the real issue at stake in the far
east" This is that papers comment
on Consul Davidson's move to An
tung. That paper also urges England
to show a like intelligence and activ-
ity.
1t will be gratifying to Americans
that their government has seized the
advantage which has come to it from
Japan's initial victory in the land
campaign. The burning of Antung
by the Russians will retard business
in that town for the time, but the
American consul will make the best
of the situation, and whatever bene-
fits can be derived from the opening
of the port to the trade of the United
States will be seized. This victory
does not mean that Japan is to be as
uniformly successful in its land cam
paigns as 1t has been on the water. 1t
gives a reasonable assurance, however,
that something at least of the super
iority shown by Japan's navy will be
revealed throughout in the military
operations. -Globe-Democrat-

crowned last evening in the stadium
of the Southern Carnival company
with all the royal pomp and ceremony
usually attendant upon such occasions.

door Of the stadium in their royal
carriages. Queen Marie | was accom-
panied by her prime minister Count
Maus, and her maids of honor and their
attendants followed in other car
riages. The seats of the stadium were
filed to their capacity while scores of

IF YOU HAVE DYSPEPSIA, READ
THIS.

The old way of taking pepsin, bis
muth, ETC., to cure dyspepsia is all
wrong. They may be put up in tab
lets or in liquid, the result is just
the same. The object is TO create
artificial digestion, but this does not
make cure. Stop taking The pepsin,
etc, and you have your dyspepsia or
indigestion back again. People use
cocaine or opium for nervous troubles
and sick headache, it does not cure.
Stop taking the drugs the pain and
distress return. The only common
sense method is to drive out of the
system the cause of dyspepsia and sick
headache, by cleansing the stomach
and bowels at the same time using a
medicine that will act on the liver.
This forces through the glands of the
stomach the digestive fluid that nature
intended. In this way you cure dys-
pepsia. The medicine that cures
dyspepsia by this method is called DR..
Gums Improved Liver Pills. Drug
gists sell these pills at 25c per box.
1t only takes ole pill for a dose.
