Heart Fluttering.

Undigested food and gas in the

heart, presses against it and

your heart troubles you in that

Monday morning. Mr.. Rollius
was in his Goth year al the time
of his demise, and his health had
been such as to, in a measure,
prepare bis loved ones and friends
for the final blow which neverthe
less always falls heavily. The
citizens OF the county had been
given an opportunity to show
their love and the high esteem in
which they held the deceased,
which they did by electing him to
the office of sheriff, and his offic-
ial record bore ample evidence
that the confidence placed in him
was never violated an that his of
ticial pledges were,never broken.
Petitions for aid from the poor
and needy We're met by him with
a generous spirit. His house
WAS known to all the vagrant
train, and none turned herefrom
with empty hands. His gtneros
ity, his LOYALTY to friends, and bis
kindly, cheerful manner were
some ut the attributes that won
the hearts of the people and made
for himsrli legion of friends.

RADIUM TO ILLUMINATE GUN
SIGHTS.

The discovery of the latest use to

will play an important part in warfare.
In gun sights, leveling instruments
and telescopes there is what is called
a ''fduciaf mark, which is used to OBJ

INDIANS As CUSTOMERS.
Mere Par ocular About Their Clothing
Than Their Food.

Mrs. J. l. White is from Porter, 1.
T, where her husband runs a store.
Porter is a brand new town, and is
now in the boom state. There are a
great many Indians about Porter, and
they are the stores best customers.
When Mr.. White went to the Terri
tory, he supposed the Indians would
demand as low priced goods as it is
possible TO sell, but found out that the
redskins were not just as he sized
them up. The Indians want the sport
isst things on the market. They turn
up their noses at cheap clothes, and
want loud colCrs and costly garbs
When Christmas came it was natural
to suppose that the Indians would also
want costly sweets as well as costly
clothes, and Mr.. White was surprised
20 find that the Indians passed up the
high priced candles and bought the
cheapest kind possible. The most they
could get for the money was the kind
they wanted. The Indians argued that
they ate the candy and no one saw
it. but with the clothing it was differ

GOOD YAVAPAI MINES.

john Gray, general manager of the
Charles J. George properties in this
county came in today from the Brad
shaws and reported that the mines
there are looking better every day. The
Lincoln is improving right along ana
is today one Of the very best gold prop
critics in the county. In one place the
ledge is fourteen feet in width wit
five feet of ere. The ore is high grad 2,
too, carrying gold, silver and copper.
The Fitzhugh Lee, at aPlond, is also
looking very good. The large and rich
chute of ore discovered some time ago
sill holds out just the same. Both of
the properties are far and away better
than the ordinary mines in any state
or territory. Mr.. George is certainly
fortunate to have acquired such valu-
able mineral holdings. Prescott Herald.

HISS LUCY LOWELL
On the Stage Again, After an Adven-
turoUs Year In Arizona.

The New York World of Sunday
April 10. contains q feature story that
is of more than passing interest to
Phoenix readers for a variety Of rel-
sons Most important, perhaps, is the
fact that the heroine is Miss LJ"y
Lowell, crstwhile leading lady of the
late Obcrle stock company which had
q brief but spectacular career, a very
clever artist and one who made scores
of friends during her residence her.

graph speak for itself"
He photographed it, then?"
Yes. He stuck a small branch of
a tree up in the sand, hung the fish to
it, and then Photographed it at short
range. But he overdid the thing"
How is that?"
Why, the branch looked like biz
