Your Uncle Samuel is the greatest
prestidigitator of them all. If you
don't believe it watch him some day
as he does his favorite trick with a
shipload of foreign mail just arrived
at New York his great port of for
eign mails. Perhaps the mail will
consist of a thousand bags perhaps
of thrice that number. No matter.
Here lie the bags before him, in great
heaps, and all full to the bursting
point. Now, ladies and gentlemen, a
few passes with the hand, presto,
change and where are the bags that
we're here a minute ago?
1t is a wonderful trick-far more
wonderful than ever done on a stage.
And yet it is so simple" some one
may say when the explanation has
been read. All, we'll, most things are
simple once they are explained. The
utter simplicity of the feat is one of
the most wonderful qualities about it.
A man walked over to the glass
covered instrument in the corner of
the room. He picked up the strip of
tape and read. Then he turned toward
his fellow worker.

"Yep, guess so, answered the 9th

down."
"Cable when she left the other side
said twenty-four hundred and thirty
nine bags"
"Oh, well, guess nine men can get
that off hunkey dory."
"Yep," was the laconic though
clipper response of the man at the
ticker.

The Verbs Greatest Medicine
Factory.

The rapid growth of the Peruna Medi-
cine Company is as phenomenal in the
business world as the universal popu-
larity of their famous remedy, Peruna.
The plant covers a number of acres,
and employees several hundred people.
No other medicine firm in the world
reaches anything like the volume of
business done by DR.. Hartman's firm.
Although Peruna is a proprietary
medicine, the details of its compromising
are no secret and nothing gives DR..

Pe.ru-na CONTAINS NO Narcotics.

There are great many catarrh cures
in the world. The most of them are
local applications. Few of them are to
be used internally.
Unfortunately alarge number Of these
catarrh remedies, especially the ones
prescribed by the doctors, contain mar
cotics of some sort. Cocaine, opium,
whisky, and other narcotics are used.
These remedies give temporary relief.
The patient thinks he is better right
away. In a few weeks, however, he dis
covers his mistake. Not only is his ca.
tarrh no better, but he has acquired the
habit of using some narcotic. This
happens in a multitude of cases.

up. Then, as the Umbria was to dock
off and made for her dock with the
1000 odd bags she had on board.
Here she threw off the bags tagged for
New York city, which were in two
piles, one being registered mail, and
here, too, mail wagons took the bags
of through mail for Chicago, Canada
and the Orient and Australia, and
were soon rushing with them to the
station of the railroad which takes
care of these mails across the CONT

One pile of mail still remained on

Pe-ru-na's Popularity.

Peruna is not like so many other
remedies that pass away as soon as the
first few bottles are used. The longer
Peruna is used in any community, the
more popular it becomes.
Pe-ru-na Actually Cures.
The reason why Peruna has become a
standard catarrh remedy the world over
is simply because it cures catarrh.

This explains why Peruna has be-
come so popular. 1t cures catarrh.
This is an amply sufficient reason why
it should become popular.
Catarrh is almost universal. Catarrh
is difficult to cure. The doctors do not
care to treat cases of catarrh at all.
1t therefore follows that when rem
edy is devised that can be used in the
home at a moderate cost, such a remedy
should inevitably become popular.

A Doctors Prescription.
For years DR.. Hartman used Peruna
in his private practice as a regular
prescription. He had no thought of
manufacturing it or advertising it as a
proprietary medicine until there was a
demand made upon him by his many
friends, who clamored for the original
prescription.
Forty Thousand Patients.
Or. Hartman estimates that he must
have prescri bed Peruna for over forty
thousand patients before it was adyer-
tised as a proprietary medicine

FINCH FOUND GUILTY
No Testimony Was Offered in Behalf
 Of the Defendant.

The trial of H. O. Finch, charged with obtaining money by false pre- lenses, was tried in district court yes terday and the defendant was convict ed Finch was indicted by the last grand jury, having been arrested on a warrant sworn to by the proprietors of the Casino saloon, in which he was charged with having had a worthless check for something more than $1OO cashed there. He had represented to one of the proprietors that he had more than $2,10O in the Phoenix Ma tional bank. It turned out the next day that his balance in the bank was in the neighborhod of $50.
 Finch had been gambling and had lost all of his ready money before he began negotiating the check. A part of the proceeds of the check was paid him in chips, about $200. He then lost them and went away. taking $500 with him. In the course of the night he returned and lost more of the money. holding out altogether a little less than $20O.
 The only evidence offered was that of w. NJ. Mayors, one of the proprie- tors of the Casino who related the
 
 said he used reasonable diligence in his own protection. Finch had shown him his bank book displaying a bal ance of about $2100 and on the face of things there was an appearance of regularity. MT. Mayors however. was not quite satisfied to part with so large a sum without further inVesu- gation, and he called up Manager Me Clung of the bank. IT was late at night and MT. McClung. who was at his home said that he only knew that q man by the name of II. O. Finch was doing business at the bank but he knew nothing about the amount of his balance. MT. Mayors knowing a part of the story of Finch to be true accepted all of it as truth and let him have the money.
 There was no testimony for the de- fense. the attorney for Finch moving to dismiss on the ground that the ev- idence had not shown that crime had been committed as was alleged in the indictment The motion was de- nied and the case after brief argument went sto the jury. The verdict was quickly forthcoming. Finch was found guilty and the jury further found that he had obtained $500 by false pre- tenses. The chips which had been given him in the cashing Of the check were disregarded.
 In fixing the penalty the law gives the court a great deal of latitude. As the crime is only a misdemeanor un- der the statutes of this territory the Imprisonment of Finch may not be for more than six months. But there must be some imprisonment though it need not be for more than one day. He may be fined any sum not exceeding three times the amount which the jury found that he had obtained.
 Following the trial of this case the civil suit of the Farmers, Merchants and Manufacturers Trading company against l.. C. Hardin was taken up and a jury was impaneled. This is a suit brought by Mrs. Laurabel Gardiner as
