Sick
Head ache

When your head aches, there
is a storm in the nervous sys-
tenn, eentering in the brain.
This irritation produces pain
in the head, and the turbulent
nerve current sent to the stom-
ach causes nausea, vomiting.
This is sick headache, and
is dangerous, as frequent and
prolonged attacks weaken the
brain, resulting in loss Of
memory inflammation, epi-
lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc.
Allay this stormy, irritated,
aching condition By taking
Or. Miles Anti Pain Pills:
They stop the pain ~ sootil-
ing, strengthening and reliev-
ing the tension upon the nerves

THE Kelleys. son and father, who
originated the Arizona newspaper cir
cult, which was intended TO supply all
the towns 10 the territory with Kelly
newspapers, anally concluded to con.
fine themselves TO Douglas and Bisbee.
Recently they have enlarged their syn
dictate by taking in another member
OF the family. The enlargement was
forced on them. Recently the Doug.
las international, which is under the
charge Of the elder Kelly, published
an account OF the poor craftsmanship
Of Julius WelgenhauseD, which so en-.
ragged the mar with the long name
that he sued the paper for libel Mr..
Kelly has a son.in.law who is a lawyer,
and he brought him into the news
paper combination, and had him def.
end the libel suit. The lawyer son-in'
law presented a demurrer, that is he
explained to the court that even II
the paper did say what 1t was claimed,
It was not libel. The court agreed
with the son.in.law, and threw the
case out OF court.

THERE have been great doings in
Russia the past week. 1t started with
what they called a strike, but was
really a revolution, and it Don looked
as though the whole country was in
it. The soldiers would not fire on the
people, and the only class that was
loyal to the Tsar was the Oossaks.
Tuesday the Tsar issued a proclama-
tion which gave the people their lib.
erty. There is to be a congress, which
shall be elected by the people, and
which will enact all the laws TO gov.
eru the people. The people are also
granted civic liberty, based OF the real
invlolabllity Of the person, freedom
OF conscience, speach. union and as
ISOLATION, which practically means
that the people of Russia are as free
as those of England. Serglus White,
who was the peace commissioner, was
made premier, aud he will put the new
government on its feet, and practically
will run 1t. He is thought to be the
most modern of all Russians. or course
there was great rejoicing all over the
country, and the revolutionary meet
ings were changed into what would b.
called in this country publication
meetings. The future OF Russia will
be watched with great interest by the
entire world.

continues to be the burning question
and the buffers who are opposed to
Joint statehood are claiming that the
sentiment Of the people is entirely in
their favor. Recently Col. Allen Bird,
Of Nogales, one Of the foremost joint
statehood men in the territory, chal-
lenged Col. J.F. Wilson, formerly dem
Ocratic delegate to congress, to meet
him in Joint debate In several Of the
largest cities in the territory and dis
cuss the questions Of joint and single
statehood. Col. Wilson is always ready
90 talk. and accepted the challenge,
and referred the matter to the anti.
Joint statehood committee to arrange
dates and places for the meeting. The
committee promptly ruled that the
question was not de~bateable, and that
there would be no meeting. The Hon.
j. e. Wilson is not the only eminent
statesman who has taken to the tall
grass this fall. The Hon. Joseph Ben
son Foraker OF Ohio is unable to
speak In defence Of the Hon. George
b. Cox Of Cincinnati, the Hon. Charles
Warren Fairbanks Is too busy to
explain the political issues Of the day
10 Philadelphia, and the Hon. Ar.
thur Pue German respectfully de-
ellnes to enter a joint debate with his
spirited colleague from Maryland, the
Hon. lsidor Rayner.

Az agitation has been started In the
territory to prohibit gambling, instead
OF licensing IL. The arguments against
gambling are all sound, and theoreti.
cally speaking, it should be prohibited
10 the territory. The legislature may
pass the most stringent laws, but who
would enforce them? In the large
cities, like Albuquerque, Roswell and
others, where the sheriff is assisted by
the local police, and a strong public
sentiment. IL Is probable that open
public gambling could be stopped, but
even 10 those towns gambling could
not be entirely stopped. In New York
the police, the sheriff, and the dis
trlet attorney have been lighting for
years, backed by public sentiment and
many societies, and have TO a great
exteut stopped gambling, but a New
Yorker recently assured the LIBERAL
that II man wanted TO get money
down on the high card, or TO see the
little wheel go round, he could easily
do It, II be had the proper acquain-
lance, while there was 90 trouble az
all in getting into a poker game, with
any kind OF a limit. IL that Is the
case where the fight IS 30 stenuous
what would be the case 10 the smaller
places 10 this srrltOry, where the peo-
