pass but he admitted that it would not be a good thing for this territory. Though he did not think the evil could be averted it might be modified if the people of Arizona would see that the jointure is inevitable and endeavor to secure a modification of the bill fixing an educational qualification for voters.
 MT. Wright lives in one of the north ern counties of New Mexico and he says that that county as we'll as most of them in the north are fearfully mis- governed. The tax rate for instance in his county is $5.75 a hundred. He was for a time extensively engaged in sheep raising but at last his business was taxed out of existence.
 The population there is so over whelmingly Mexican that the schools and courts are almost exclusively con- ducted in the Spanish language. The officers are all MeXicans and the race feeling is very strong. In the south ern part of the territory the whites predOminate and the race feeling is equally strong there, so that a Mexi- can seldom gets into office. but throughout the whole territory the MeXicans are in the majority.
 Many of the officers in the northern counties are not only unfamiliar with the English language but many of them have only a speaking acquain- tance with their own. They can hard ly write Spanish. so that the records are indifferently kept, if at all.
 MT. Wright said that he believed that if the matter were put before the sen ate that body would amend the state hood bill, fixing an educational qualifi- cation. No effort of that sort has been made. The opponents of the measure have so far directed their energies to the square defeat of the measure. But he added that if that was to be done it would have to be dCne quickly.

Nine-tenths of the diseases of the scalp and hair are caused by parasitic germs. The importance of this dis covery by Professor Unna of the Char ity hospital, Hamburg, Germany, can not be overestimated. It explains why ordinary hair preparations, even of the most expensive character fail to cure dandruff; because they do not, and they can not kill the dandruff germ. The only hair preparation in the world that positively destroys the dandruff parasites that burroW up the scalp in- to scales called scurf or dandruff, Is Newbro's Herpicide. In addition to it's destroying the dandruff germ Herpi- eide is also a delightful hair dressing. Sold by leading druggists. Send 10c in stamps for sample to The Herpicide Co.,, Detroit, Mich. H.

IT IS GOING TO RAIN
Definite Assurances Based on Nothing
 in Particular.

It is going to rain very soon and Phoenix is going to have a good season next year. This information is given without consulting the weather bureau,
 the astrologers or Henry Morgan. 1t
 is only the logical conclusion of judg ing the future by the past This val ley has wanted a great many things
 it did not get and got a great many things it did not want, but always when it just had to have something. it managed to get it some way.
 The matter of water storage was put off to the very last and then some thing had to be done and ik was done. This city went without a railroad long CT than it wanted but when the situ- ation became too strenuous it got one. Then it got two or three more, and as the demand grows it will get oth- CTS. The list might be increased, but it is unnecessary. The point is illus trated. Phoenix needs rain and she is going to get 1t, for she's got to.
 These statements have been very carefully withheld until conditions seemed to warrant their release. It has rained heavily in the upper end of the valley or along the foothills of the Superstition mountains; it is reported that snow has been falling in the mountains for two days and it is cloudy and changeable here; cold one day and warm the next, and all these things are accounted to be good rain signs.
 MT. c. R. flakes of Mesa City, who was in Phoenix yesterday, said he realized the great need Of rain, by the farmers, but that he was greatly en- couraged by the outlook and had a whole lot of that sort of faith that is supposed to move mountains. He said that early snow in the mountains had always been looked upon in these parts as a guarantee of plenty of water the following season and he was too old a man to go back on his own ex- perience. For that reason he said he was planting more grain this year than for five years past and was willing to put his trust on high and take chances. Others are doing the same thing and the probability is that there will be ing year even if it is pretty dry for planting. It is therefore repeated with great assurance, that it is going to rain and the rain may get here before this issue Of The Republican reaches it's readers. If it don't rain it will be dem onstrated that rain was not needed so badly as people thought it was, for this valley is determined to have what it really needs. Determination is the first move toward getting what is needed. whatever that may be.

CHRONIC CATARH CURED |.
Hyomeis Wonderful Action in Curing A Case of Thirty Years Standing Guaranteed by H Goodman

Do not. try to crue catarrh by talk ing drugs into the stomach. It can not be cured in that manner. The only way in which this common dis ease can be cured is through a direct application that will kill the germs of catarrh and prevent their growth. Hyomei is the only known method of treatment that accomplishes this. It is the simplest, most pleasant, and only absolute cure for catarrh that has ever been discovered.
 Mrs. c. A. Derby of Beverly, Mass. writes: My husband has had catarr- hal trouble for thirty years and Hyo- mel is the first thing which has ever helped him. He had catarrh in it's worst form and nothing except Hyomei ever had any effect on it whatever. This gave him relief from the first and he has steadily improved until now he is cured"
 The complete Hyomei outfit costs but one dollar, consisting of an inhaler and sufficient Hyomei to last for several weeks. Extra bottles can be obtained for fifty cents. H. Goodman has so much confidence in the power of Hyo- mel to cure catarrh that he will sell the treatment under his personal guar antee to refund the money if the pur- chasers can say it did not benefit. Ask him to show you the strong guarantee under which it is sold.
