Telephone Deal.

One of the most important deals ever made in the territory is now being brought to close in Tucson. It contemplates nothing less than the taking over of all the telephone lines and companies in Arizona and their combination under one management. Every franchise for telephone rights in the territory will then be taken up. Those behind the scheme, who have about brought it's consummation are Epes Randolph and associates. 1t is said the plans of the company include the extension of the telephone system now in operation to all points in the territory, and that an entirely new line will be built between this city and Fl Paso, by way of Bisbee and Douglas. The companies to be taken over are several in number, and will be bought outright, options on the properties now being held. The management of the new company will be composed of peo- pie who have for the most part had nothing to do with the telephone busi- ness in Arizona.

Pretty Safe Rule to Go By.

When there is a feeling that the heart or lungs, blood or liver, brain or nerves are diseased, at once com mence to doctor the stomach. That is the foundation of 90 cases out of luO. Commence to regulate the digestive organs, get them in healthy working condition, and the other troubles will leave of themselves. Diseases which have their beginning in the stomach must be cured through the stomach.
 The medicine for stomach disorders and half the ills of life, is Dr. Gum S Improved Liver Pills. They are sold by all druggists for 25c per box. One pill is dose. These pills put all the digestive organs in good condition so that disease has no basis to work upon.

Perfect Confidence.

Where there used to be feeling of uneasiness and worry in the house. hold when child showed symptoms of croup, there is now perfect confidence. This is owing to the uniform success of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the treatment of that disease. Mrs. NJ. I. Basford, of Poolesville, Md, in speaking of her experience in the use of that remedy says: "I have a world of confidence in Chamberlain s Cough Remedy for l have used it with perfect success.

The Santa Fe has about completed everything fer the new water treating plant and the same will likely be put into operation most any day now. It costs on an average $750 each year to remove the scale from a locomotive boilor using hard water and for the extra coal or oil required to make steam when hard water is used. This does not include the loss of earning capacity while the engine is idle under going repairs nor the irrepairable damage to the life of the locomotive from the corroding of the boilor. This difficulty has all been solved and the engines now passing through New Mexico, Arizona and California on the Santa Fe are fed purer water than the people of most cities drink. More than S4O,000 has been spent by this railroad in the last year for the install lation of chemical water softenipg plants. Lime and soda ash mixed in varying proportions according to the chemical analysis of the water causes all the solids to precipitate, leaving the water pure and harmless. .-McKinley County Republican.

L. F. J. Iaeger, proprietor of the Santa Rita hotel, received telephone message this morning from the mana ger of his eating house in Nogales, who informed him that word had been received from the La Colorado mine that the bodies of forty men, who had been killed by the Yaquis, had been brought in. Of these twelve were said to be Americans, and it is presumed that the others were Alexicans. There were absolutely no other details than those given in the message, except that the killing is supposed to have taken place at the Minus Prietas mine, or some where near there.

"a hundred years hence, leaving

If any one had told Emile de La

some years ago, that within few
years the power of Russia on the sea
would be annihilated, and her land
forces defeated again and again by the
pygmy nation of Japan, would he
have believed it?
No, neither he nor any one else, al
that time, would hive credited it.
The Incredible, the unbelievable, has
actually happened. There is no result
without cause. What is the underly-
ing cause of this marvellous strength
of Japan?
1t is not in battle ships or siege guns
not In torpedo boats or field artillery
not in arms or armor-not in muni-

mode of life.
The Japanese people are strong be-
cause they live as the human animal
must live to be mentally and physi-
cally strong-neXt to nature.
They breathe the fresh air.
They eat plain food.
They neither starve nor &C .e.
They are mentally and physically

They are an "out Of door" people.
They understand the laws of health,
and obey them.
Their children draw their strength

And above and beyond all, they are
a nation of homes and home owners.
Each family is in a home and each
home is in garden where health and

ROOSEVELT IN DIXIE.
President Speaks to the Followers

President Roosevelts recent tour
through the South was one continuous
ovation from the people of Dixie. In
fact his visit has been heralded as be-
ing as triumphant as the return of
any Roman emperor. Dixie was cap
ured by the Rough Rider President.
At Richmond, the old Confederate
capital, the greeting extended to him
was unusually cordial. After much
parading and speech-making, the Pres
ldent was taken for a drive through
the residence section. In the center of
TINS section is the great equestrian
statue of General Robert Il. Lee. At
this point occurred scene of the Pres
idents visit which will probably be
remembered when all others have
faded into oblivion.
Surrounding the Lee monument is
an iron fence, inclosing circle Of
lawn. The crowd was thickiv grouped
around this circle. Inside, standing
upon the base Of the monument and
wandering about upon the lawn We're

Colonel George Mason, the first, was.

but was born in Staffordshire. One of
his fellow RoyaAst refugees to Amer

hamlet IN Stafsrdshire. The old Eng

years ago, and was owned by the Gift

He has just left Washington for his
second trip to the isthmus. Through
his connection with the affairs of the

consider the creation of another de.

Congress will consent to this at the

low Mount Vernon and three miles be-
low the ruins of Belvoir, the home OF
the first Fairfax in Virginia. Gunston
Hall was probably without equal in
that part of Virginia at the time OF
its building, and is as well preserved
as any other colonial house in Virginia.
1t is eighty feet long and forty feet
wide and is built of bricks twice the
size of those made now. To the right
of the north entrance is the room
which was occupied by Jefferson ON his
frequent visits to Mason. On the river
portico is where Mason and Washing
ton played at draughts by the hour.
Several years after the war Gunston
Hall in dilapidation was acquired by
Colonel Edward Daniels. Northern
man. The place was partially restored
by him. Colonel Daniels in the days of
reconstruction was the editor of the
Richmond Journal and was once can

tives, but was defeated. He was a

Ealry Opposed to Slavery.
George Mason was the Sage of Guns
ton. 1t was he who after conference
and correspondence with Washington
drew up the non-importation resolu-
tions offered by Washington and
adopted by the Virginia House Of Bur
gesses in 1863. One of these resolu-
tions pledged the signers to buy no
slaves imported after November 1, l769.
Mason was the author of tract
styled Extracts from Virginia Char,
ters and Some Remarks upon Them,
supporting the contention that the Brit
ish Parliament had no right to tax the
American colonies. This tract had
wide vogue in pre-revolutionary times.
Mason and Washington attended the
citizens meeting at Fairfax Court
House, Virginia, in July, 1774. Wash
ington was moderator Of the meeting.
Mason presented twenty-four resolu-
tions in advocacy Of non-intercourse
with the mother country. These res
olutions were adopted, and were also
adopted by the Virginia convention at
Williamsburg in August, 1774. 1t was
that body which elected Peyton Ran
dolph, Richard Henry Lee, George
Washington, Patrick Henry, Richard
Bland, Benjamin Harrison and Edmund
Pendleton delegates to the First Con

lutions.
