A CITY BOND BIDDER
 WANTS A DRAW DOWN
Suit Brought Against Phoenix to Re-
 cover $2,000 Certified Check.

The city of Phoenix yesterday be- came the defendant in an action for the recovery of a certified check put up as an evidence of good faith by a bidder for the water works bonds. The first advertisement for bids for the $500, 100000 twenty-five year five per cent bonds authorized for the municipal water works system was made in February of 1904. One of the bidders was Isaac Springer and com pany of Pasadena, Cal, who according to the terms of the advertisement sent along with their bid a certified check for $2,O00. The bidder proposed to take the bonds at par and accrued in terest and at a premium of $17625. This was the highest and best bid and it was accepted
 This transaction took place on March 29, 1904. On October 29 of the same year the bidder referred the matter to the attorneys for the firm, Porter and Sutton, of Pasadena: The attorneys refused to approve the bonds and in as much as suit growing out of the

TEMPE
A DAY OF RAIN.
It Was Also Cold and Generally
 Disagreeable.

Not a soft, warm summer rain, ac- companied by lots of thunder and lightning or coming in spasmodic showers, but a cold, steady drizzling downpour with little or no wind; that is what Tempe got yesterday and the night before in the way of rain. It began Monday night at 25 minutes of 10 o'clock and continued almost with out intermission the rest of the night and up to two o'clock yesterday af- ternoon. Then for perhaps an hour there was little or no rainfall but it began again shortly and continued the rest of the afternoon. At no time was the rainfall very hard but it was un- usually steady and a good deal of wa ter fell. Just how much could not be ascertained last evening for the tele- phone line between town and the date orchard, the place where the record is kept, was out of order. The opinion of several was asked on the matter, however, and they approximated the precipitation at three-quarterS of an inch. It may have been more and it may have been less, but the fact re- mains that enough water fell to put the roads in a miserable condition and to cause considerable discomfort to those who were forced to be out in the weather. Added to the unpleasant rain, it was exceptionally cold and al- together the day was about as disa- greeable as Arizonians are called upon to endure. At the time of writing the sun had not yet put in an appearance during the day and as it lacked but

issuance of the bonds was then pend ing against the city the attorneys de- clared the bonds of doubtful validity The bidders informed the city coun- cil of Phoenix and sent along copy of the opinion of the lawyers, request ing the return of their certified check. The city took the ground that it is fol provision against such contingen- cies as this that certified cheeks are asked for. so it declined to comply with the request of the bidders. whose claim was afterward assigned to the plaintiff in the case, Charles l.. Web ster of Pasadena.
 The only apparent reliance of the plaintiff is in the opinion of the Pas adena lawyers regarding the bonds. If the bonds were not good at that time they are not good yet for since then nothing has been done to make them any better. The same suit which scared the Pasadena bidders is still pending without prospect of an early settlement, other attorneys have ap- proved the bonds and they have been sold

SUPERVISORS PLEASED.
They Made an Official Visit of In-
 spection Yesterday.

The board of supervisors, or rather two members Of it, Messrs. Clanton and Stewart, MT. Orme being unable to attend, were official visitors here yesterday for the purpose of inspect ing the work done on the river above the buttes for the protection of the town during high water. They were accompanied by Surveyor Streitz and were met here by a committee of cit izens and members of the council. In the party were Messrs. I. V. Stewart, Andrew eNilsen, A. J. Miller, F. w. Holsapple and J. A. Dimes. They were taken to the river at the scene of oper- ations and made a thorough inspection of what had been done.
 Night before last the work had been so far completed that the center of the dam was closed by a temporary filling of sand and the water in the river was turned down the channel. The dam had been finished with the exception of a small space in the mid dle of the river and had not the rain stopped work yesterday the opening would probably have been permanent ly closed. The work of course has been rushed in anticipation of high water and enough has been done to have a good effect should there be a rise in the river, as there undoubtedly will be after yesterdays rain.
 The supervisors expressed them selves as being very we'll pleased with the progress made and complimented the superintendent of the work very highly on his management of 1t. Just as soon as the weather permits the work will be continued and crowded as fast as possible until it is com pleted.

FOOD
 NOT MEDICINE.

If all the treatments for consumption were put in book form 1t would make a pretty big library. But after all there has been little i'm provement over the old treat ment of rest, fresh air, sun- shine, plain, wholesome food and Scott's Emulsion. The latter supplies nourish- ment that cannot be secured in any other way, and after all, nourishment is what the consumptive needs first.
 A gain in weight, however slight, is a long step toward improvement. If there is the least thing to build on Scott's Emulsion will enable the pa tient to make that gain. Peo- pie have gained a pound in weight from a bottle of Scott's Emulsion-it's an exception when they don't.
 We have seen Scott's Emulsion take hold of a pa tient eand bring about a change for the better inside of a week. It always helps even the most stubborn cases. SCOTT & BOVINE, 4O9 Pearl Street, New York

LONDON, March 25.-The reports
published in various medical papers re-
garding the discussion of appendicitis
by the Royal Medical and Chirurgical
society, make clear several interesting
points about the dread disease. Sir
Frederick Treves, Mr.. Charters Sy-
monds, Mr.. Pearse Gould and other
eminent surgeons who took part in the
discussion, were generally agreed as to
the desirability of immediate resort to
the knife when the diagnosis is definite.
1t was shown, however, that in many
cases more or less serious complica
tlons follow operations on the appendix
and the medical press calls for earnest
consideration Of these cases by operat-
ing surgeons
The Hospital suggests that now that
appendicitis is such a fashionable ILL
ness, it is quite probable that some
degree of operative intemperance ex-
