DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills
are most remarkable remedy
for the relief of periodic pains,
backachc, nervous or sick head
ache, or any of the distress
ing aches and pains that cause
women so much suffering.
AS pain is weakening, and
leaves the system in an cx-
hausted condition, it is wrong
to suffer moment longer than
necessary, and you should take
the Anti-Pain Pills on first in
dication of an attack.
If taken as directed you may
have entire confidence in their
effectiveness, as we'll IS in the
fact that they will leave no dis
agreeable after-eGiccts.
They contain no morphine,
opium, chloral, cocaine or other
dangerous drugs.
For a long time I have suffered
greatly with spells of backache. that
seem almost more than j can endure.
These attacks come on every month,
and last two or three days. | have

SILAS CELEBRATED
His Release From the Penitentiary at
 Yuma.

Policeman Charlie of the Sacaton re- servation made complaint yesterday to Justice Burnett that Silas, an Indian, who had just returned from Yuma where he had served a term for steal ing wheat from the Maricopas was drunk and was probably getting anoth- CT young Pima drunk Deputy Sheriff Wright went with the policeman and found the two Indians. It was a ques tion whether they had been drinking or not. Charlie called attention to the eyes of Silas and he said that he could smell the liquor. He believed though that the boy had not drank. Silas said that the policeman was a liar and wanted money. He said he would not have cared if the policeman had seen him drink with his own eye, :" but he did not like to be jerked up this way on suspicion which had no foundation.
 The more Silas talked about it and the more he saw he was going to es- cape punishment the more he impugned the motives of the policeman and the more he called him a liar and a graft CT. The court rendered an unjudicial opinion that the policeman was right; that Silas had been drinking but that he was not drunk enough to be brought within the purview of the court.
 Silas received a lecture and as he

AN ECCENTRIC LORD.

One of the most eccentric charac- ters in England is Lord Grimthorpe. now nearly ninety years old, but still hale and busy. He is a man of many fads and hobbies, and one of these is clock making. He designed the big gest timepiece in Great Britain, the clock in the Cathedral of St Paul. and he is also the designer of the great clock in the Victoria Tower of the House of Parliament. Doubtless it was his usefulness in this line which caused him to be elected president Of the British Astrological Institute. His lordship is also an ecclesiastical archi- tect of note, and his plans have been followed in the building of churches and the restoration of cathedraIs. He declines any remuneration for his ser
 vices, but he insists that his crest, which is a boar's head, shall be prom inently displayed in the sacred edifice for which he has made designs. This display of eccentricity on his part is not taken altogether in good part by those whom he has benefited, but there seems to have been no serious protest against it. As president of the Church of England Burial Asso- citation. Lord Grimthorpe is working to abolish the embalming of corpses. dramatically sealed caskets, vaults and tombs, and to bring about the use of wickerwork collins, which will per init the rapid dissolution of dead bod ies. In the latter endeavor he has the approval of King Edward, the head of the English church. Among other tok- ems of Lord Grimthorpe's activity. are many treatises on bells, watches and clock making.-Leslie's Weekly.

Prof. w. c. Hayes of the geological survey was talking in Washington about the trials of geologists.
 "Did you ever hear of the geologist in New Hampshire?" he asked. Well. there was a geologist who spent a day gathering specimens of the very odd New Hampshire rock formations to be found there, and late in the afternoon he hired a boy to carry his heavy bag back to Newport for him. This boy exhibited in the evening a big, new half dollar, and the friend said, en- viously:
 "'Where did you get that?'
 "I made it. was the answer.
 How did you make it?'

PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES.

In the Philippines the density of the population is 67 to the square mile. In the United States it is 26 to the square mile The inhabitants of the Phillip pines are usually found on or near the coast, except on the island of Luzon, where about half the people live in the two rich valleys in the interior. Only one-seventh of the civilized population live inland, but the wild peoples are confined almost entirely to the inter- for.
 In the archipelago there are 13,400 barrios. or villages, with an average population of 500 inhabitants. The average size of the barrie varies widely in different provinces. A num- Der of adjacent barrios form a pueblo, or municipal unit. and thus, there is practically no rural population. Three fifths of the population live in villages of less than 1000 inhabitants, and four per cent in towns of over 5000.
 There are four towns with a popula- ton exceeding 10000 each, and S5 with a population exceeding 5000. Manila is the only incorporated city in the is lands, and its inhabitants number 219,92S.-Chicago News

WEALTHY MINING HAN
May Make Phoenix His Permanet
 Abiding Place.

Doctor and Mrs. Keith will leave here about the first of July for a visit of a couple of months in the east during the hot weather. When they return early in September. they will be ac- companied by Mir. and Mrs. Charles E. Harrison of Cripple Creek who will spend the winter here and may decide to make this their permanent home.
 Mrs. Harrison is not a stranger in Phoenix as she spent a winter here the guest of Mrs. Keith who is her sister. She was then known as Miss Kathcryn Purcell of Chicago and was married to MT. Harrison only a few weeks ago. She is the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Martin Purcell of Chicago which she calls her home though a great part of the last two years has been spent in Cripple Creek where Miss Purcell went for her health. It was during her sojourn there that she became acquainted with MT. Harrison. They expect to visit Chicago also dur ing the warm weather.
 MT. Harrison is engaged in large mining enterprises in Colorado and has been remarkably successful. He is mentioned as one who in few years has risen from the rank of the pros pector to that of an extensive opera tor whose wealth is fast growing. With R. K. Seaver he opened the Bonanza mine on Ironclad hill in the Cripple Creek district about eighteen months ago and since then they have shipped about three quarters of a million dol lars worth of ore which returned a profit of approximately $325,OOO.

The hearing is

sence of Judge Kent. The hearing is set for June 12.
 In his petition the petitioner says that the land occupied by him and the defendants is school land which they have held on leases from the board of supervisors for several years. Some years ago Wedgeworth says that with the consent of Dawes and for the ben eft of both himself and Dawes he con- structed Q lateral from the Buckeye canal to his land through that of Dawes. He made use of it until Febru- ary of last year when Dawes and Rob- inson who was occupying the Dawes tract on a sub lease made objection to his further use of it. After that for time he obtained water from the Buck eye canal through another ditch. The recent floods destroyed that and since then he has been without water. He asks that the defendants be brought into court and that a value be placed upon the land which he will need for the construction of his lateral.
 There was also filed in the office of the district clerk a petition for the vol untary dissolution of the Panhandle Smelting and Refining company or ganized under the laws of the territory

AN ANEcDOTE OF JOSEPH JEFF.
 PERSON.

Jefferson liked to tell the following story upon himself. He was, of course from his professional position, we'll known personally to thousands of men whom he did not know He was con- stantly meeting strangers who always remembered him and the fact that they met him. but whom he did not always remember. He was very sensi- tive upon this subject. and was greatly distressed when he forgot a face or a name which he ought not to have for gotten. One day, coming down in the elevator from the top of the Mills building in Wall street New York, he noticed a stout, compact little man who entered the car at the next floor, who looked at him for a moment, evil dently waiting for recognition, and then held out his hand and said, How do you do, MT. Jefferson?" The actor, of course, responded in his usual cor dial, hearty way, and replied: Why! Why! whyI How do you do? When did you come to town, and how long are you going to be here?"
 The stranger said: But I live here. MT. Jefferson, and you don't know who am!"
 Well the protagonist confessed, "I know your face perfectly, of course, but can't place you. I see many faces, and I'm apt to get confused in my study of physiognomy." The little, stout, compact stranger smiled as he turned his cigar over in his mouth, and said, I'm General Grant,"
 Jefferson always declared that he got out at the next landing and walked down three flights of stairs to the
