VISIT OF SENATOR FLINT
Interest In Arizona and His Pledge
 Against Joint Statehood.

In the language of Commodore Per ry we have met Senator Frank P. Flint of California, a=d he is ours. At least ke says he is and no one can be in a better position tc know. It was not a battlefield equalization by any means. for he says he has been ours all the time if we had only known it.
 Senator Flint arrived here yesterday morning from Los Angeles in com pany with MT. w. J. Doran. a leading banker of that city, and w. H. San ders of the reclamation service. MT. Sanders came as far as Maricopa t0 confer with Mr. Hall of the reclama- ton service. who left here the even ing before for Fl Paso, and having come thus far he finished the journey to Phoenix with the California states man. Senator Flint had expressed his regrets at not being able to get here the day before and join the party that went to Roosevelt, and as 9. last chance he had hoped that he might yet malle a hurried drive and ove- take them. MT. Sanders, who is familiar with the road, came along to escort him to the dam site if it were practicable but when they got here they learned that they could not reach Roosevelt until after the other tourists had started home, so they gave up the trip. It is the purpose of Senator Flint now, to come here again next fall on his wa f to Washington and not only visit the dam site but the Grand Canyon and other places of interest.
 Arriving at the Hotel Adams yes terday morning the party had break fast and at nine o'clock was held the informal reception that had been pre- viously announced. It was a very sat isfactory gathering for the people turned out in large numbers tO meet their distinguished guests and an hour or so was given over to the interest ing but tiresome occupation of shak- ing hands.
 Later Senator Flint was taken for a drive by General c. F. AiEsworth. They visited the capitol and a few oth- CT places but the drive was cut short by a rain that threatened more than it amounted to. Luncheon was par ticipated in by the guests of the day and number of the local business men at the Hotel Adams after which Senator Flint retired for a little rest after a busy twenty-fOur hours, to

EVEN HE WOULD BE USEFUL.

George B. Cortelyou was entertain ing a group of Englishmen with stories about America.
 Many interesting things happened, said Mr. Cortelyou, "at the time of the discovery of gold in California. Very resolute, dauntless and peculiar men were the pioneers who went westward oyer the plains to dig gold and to found towns in those days.
 An English tourist once met, in the west, a prairie caravan-a great file of prairie schooners, cattle men and wo- men.
 We are going to found a town the leader of the caravan explained. We will found the town in 2 scientific manner. We have everything needful with us here, nothing unnecessary, That man with the red hair is a baker I am a blacksmith. The little fellow is a doctor That fat chap is a butcher. And so on.
 How very interesting" said the Englishman.
 "'Yes,' said the leader, we work on scientific principles. We don't have any waste There isn't a person in our party who won't do some import ant duty in the new town
 ''The Englishman pointed to an old and feeble man with bent back and a long, thin, white beard.
 "'But that very old man there he said: he can't be of any possible use to you, can he?'
 "'Oh, yes said the leader, we'll open up our new cemetery with him. "

One great secret of youth and beauty for the young woman or the mother IS the proper understanding of her womanly sys- tenn and well being. Every woman, young or old, should kBOzO heySelf and her phys ical make up. A good way to arrive at this knowledge IS to get good doctor book, such, for instance, as the Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser, '" by R V. Pierce, M. D., which can readily be pro- cured by sending twenty one cents i'll one cent stamps for paper bound volume, or thirty one cents for cloth bound copy, ad- dressing Dr. R. V. Pierce, at Buffalo, N. Y.
 The change from maidenhood to woman hood is one that involves the whole body The strain at this time upon the blood forming structures may be too great. Dis orders of the functions peculiarly feminine are nearly always dependent upon de- tective nutrition. Tn all such cases Dr. PierCe's Favorite Prescription is just the vegetable tonic for the female system.
 "I cannot express my thanks for the benefit writes Mrs Julius Wehrly. of Cambridge Dor chester Go. Md. II took Favorite Prescrip- ton and feel that perfect cure has been ehected. I feel like thanking you for the kind and tatherly letters which you wrote"
 Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription was the hrst exclusively woman's tonic on the market It has sold more largely in the past third of a century than any other medicine for women. Do not let the drug glst persuade you to try some pound that has not had the test of so many years success.

PANTS AND TAILS.

"There is one funny thing about dogs" said MT. Albert D. Prentiss, of Chicago, at the Hotel Joice, "and that is that you never saw one pant and wag his tan at the same time."
 Carriage and Murphy admitted that they didn't remember ever having seen a dog violate the stated rule.
 "A dog" said MT. Prentiss, 'is not capable of a double emotion. He can't growl and wag his tail; it is impOssi- ble for him to be mad at one end and hospitable at the. other. If a dog is everjoyed to see his master he will bark and wag his tail; if he wants to get into the house he will paw at the door whine and wag his tail, but they are all symptoms of the one emotion. But if his master opens the door, he will immediately cease to show anX- iety by whining, and will resort only to the tail method of expressing his feel ings. Watch mans eyes to judge his watch a dogs tail to get at the state of his mind.'
 But what's that got to do with the price of prunes?" asked Carriage.
 Nothing, whatever" said MT. Prem tiss, gut it might affect sausage. - Baltimore News.

WEN FITz LEE WAS SHOT.

Many years ago. when, during a fight with Indians on the Texas front fer, an arrow, shot by a redskin, pierced the body of Fitzhugh Lee, it was thought by his brother soldiers that the wound was mortal" said an old friend of the lamented Virginian, at tho New Willard.
 "A terrible hemmorrhage set up, and Lees face took on a death-like pallor which was taken as a sign of imminent dissolution. Still he preserved con sciousness, and in feeble tones made some requests of his friends about sending word to his family.
 While in this desperate situation, one oe his comrades, in q blundering effort to impart cheer. exhibited his hat to the wounded man. and showed where a bullet had perforated the crown.
 The Indians came pretty close to getting me too. FitZ," he said.
 A sickly smile played over the fea- lures of Fitzhugh Lee. and in a whis- per he remarked: oh. come off, now. George, about Indians shooting that hole in your hat. You know very well that you went off down wonder by the creek and put that hole in yourself One wl,o was present. and who was on the verge of tears, told me afterwards that when he heard this jest from the lips of a man supposed to be dying, he immediately took comfort. Any man wl-o coUld joke at such a time wasn't going to die, and he was right, for in little while Lee began to inn prove, and it wasn't long before he was chasing Comanches as merrily as ever.

WOMAN
RETURNS
MONEY

Michael Herman, who was robbed of
$35 in the Columbia bar last night,
is lucky man. This morning Herman
received $35 from the police.
AS the result of a complaint made
to the police last night by Herman
to the effect that he had been robbed
of the above sum, Alice Britton and
r. Doyle were arrested on suspicion
ing the woman, on whom was found
$30.75 at the time of her arrest, sign
ed an order to Chief of Police Waller
to pay Herman $50 out of the money
found on her when taken into GUS
tod Doyle also made out an order
for SIS.
The pair were then bound over by
Judge Hinkle to keep the peace for
three months under a bond of $500.
Because Herman did not want to stay
here 1t was decided to secure his
money for him instead of keeping him
as witness in a charge of robbery.
Herman claims to have just arrived
from Manila and while in the city met
with Alice Britton; they they entered
a box in the Columbia bar, after
which he and the woman took a room.
1t was while in the room that ker-
nan alleges the woman robbed him.

man was also before the grand jury
this morning in connection with the
alleged scandal concerning the pur-
chase of desks for the schools of this
city.
One of the matters which Is sorely
vexing Foreman Moore and his in
vestigating confreres is that the re-
nowned Colonel Tom Smith has been
on an extended outing ever since the
grand jury commenced it's work, and
he did not take the pains to leave
his address. Colonel Tom may know

the arrival of news to the effect that
the inquisition has become a thing
of the past.
Foreman Moore has an announce
ment to make. He says he is in re-
ceipt of numerous communications
signed with the general term, PRO
Bono Publico," or Taxpayer" or
Public Veal" or most any old sig
nature which means nothing definite.
Mr.. Moore says that such are not
considered by the jury. He emphati-
cally declares that IL a citizen is in
terested enough in anything which
should be investigated he should come
into the open and give the Jurors
some definite starting point instead of
hiding behind a generality.
1T is just like the anonymous
writer" declared Mr.. Moore this
morning, "and such letters have about
as much weight with us in our earn

has with any sensible man. If a man
is honest in his conviction that some
thing should be inquired into, let him
say something direct and to the point
