TONSILS
 OF NO USE

From Chicago, whence c)mes the latest in science, art, religion, medi cine and general knowledge, arrives the dictum that the tonsil must fol- low the appendix. The Chicago board of health has said SO. It has discov- cred Dr. Alice Neville Vowe Johnson. of Lambeth, London, who has pro- | LOunced the tonsil the enemy of man. kind. Upon this authority the board of health has hastened to issue a bull letin declaring the tonsil to be "the nursery and hothouse for the propiga- tion of every form of evil microbe from that which causes quiIsy sore throat, to the malignant staphlocci, streptococci, pneumococci and lerto- thrix, which causes diphtheria, pneu- monia, tuberculosis, gangreDe of the lungs, inflammation of the heart mem- branes, and few other fatal maladies. It is said to be the commonest cause of mouth breathing and mental dull ness among children"
 Dr. Johnson bas already excfsed the tonsils of hundred or more Lam- breth schoolgirls in pursuance of her theory, and the Chicago board of health hates to see anybody get that far ahead of it. It has hopes that 1t will some day be able to collect enough ideas--from other people-to excise appendices, tonsils and all the other microbe collecting organs in the human body, and present the world with an official course in operation and excisions which will guarantee the victim immunity from any and all diseases whatsoever.
 Unfortunately this laudable ambi- tion may be foiled by the more or less important fact that there will be nothing left of the human body when the course is completed.

Three Ribs and an Arm Broken.

John Clark, of Oak Creek, formerly
 of Stoneman Lake, is laid up for re-
 pairs with three broken ribs and a fractured arm, as the result of an ac- cident which took place on Thursday morning.
 Clark was returning to his home from Prescott, and while going down the hill at Soldier GuIch between Cherry Gulch and Ash Creek, one of the horses attached to the team he was driving, became fractions. Clark un- dertook to throw the wagon into the bank but the brake failed to work, and instead the vehicle ran over the bank. In the upset, he was thrown ou1 on the left side and fell under the front wheel of the wagon which ran over his chest and left arm. Two wag- ons respectively driven by Dave Du- mas and John Lay, of Oak Creek, were behind him and very soon ap- peared upon the scene. They took charge of the unfortunate victim of the accident and removed him to Wm. Powell's place at Cherry Creek and was dispatched for Dr. Me iinnis at Camp Verde, who attended | o the injuries.

Who is the richest man in the house

Some would probably say the honor
belongs to Stubs, the Quaker speaker.
Stubs is probably worth quarter of a
million. But he is not the richest man
in the house.
Others might pick P. w. Goebel of
Miami, who owns banks galore, and is
probably as fully as wealthy as Stubs.
But the man is not GoebeI.
It would be possible to pick dozen
men in the house who can count their
wealth in six figures.
But there is only one man who is
obliged to use seven figures to estimate
his property. That man is E. B. Scher-
merhorn of Cherokee. People who are
closest to Mr.. Schermerhorn do not hes
itate to say that he is a millionaire, and
yet there is not a more transformations
member in the present legislature than
the gentleman from Cherokee.

thumb. He is miller and is manager
and part owner of the Excelsior Water
mill, a fine 100000 property which
turns out 200 barrels of flour, three

meal every day. The mill has one of
the best water-heads in the state and
was entirely rebuilt ten years ago.

some of the rocky

Galena- As fast as he could save money
he bought land, and one day the peo-
pie of Galena awoke to the fact that
they were in the center of the richest
zinc and lead country on earth, and
that E r. Schermerhorn was in on the
ground floor with both feet. Schermer-
horn leased his lands in mining COM
panies and lives off the royalties. Land
which he bought for song is now
worth thousands of dollars an acre.
Now that Mr.. Schermerhorn is rich. he
has gone into banking and other enter
prlses, and uses money to make money.
Schermerhorn wears good clothes, but
ne does not put on airs. He owns a
few nice horses, loves to hunt and fish,
and does not chose his intimate friends
from among the nabobs. Schermerhorn
was chairman of the railroad commit
tee in the house and is one of the most
solid and level-headed men elected to
the legislature
Mr.. Schermerhorn made the race for
the legislature four years ago against
Ed Weilep, the celebrated popuiist who
made things merry in the house for sew
raj sessions. Schermerhorn went around
during the campaign telling people
what a good fellow Weilep was, and the
people took him at his word and elected
Weilep. The next time Schermerhorn
told the people that Weilep was all
right, but that he was just as good, and
wanted their votes. He got them, and
has been in the legislature ever since.

Governor Hoch said: s'You are

Kansas in the last Twenty-Five years.
1t has been the fashion to censure and
find fault with Kansas legislatures, but

islature. The majority of you came
here imbued with the belief that
political promise is as sacred as a per-
sonal promise. You have crystallized
into law every promise, with one or
two exceptions, the Republican party
made at Wichita. You have done
more than that. You have gone be-
yond that platform and done other
great things. and I congratulate you.
