When physician tells 80 woman, SUI
fering from female trouble, that an
operation is necessary it, of COURSE,
frightens her.
The very thought Of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror TO
her heart. AS one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for just such operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach n stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because u great many women have
been cured by Lydia Il. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.

J. M. Kilgour. one of our well known sheep men, came in from the south last Saturday, bringing up a band of ewes. He said his sheep were being followed by bands belonging to Yager, Gray and Hutchinson. The sheep of the lat ter will be delayed for time be- cause of the dipping to take place at Del Rio. Mir. Kilgour says that he and MT. Hutchinson will shortly ship some mutton wethers to Kan sas City. He as we'll as all the other sheepmen are feeling jubilant this year, as it has been the best for them in some time; in fact, it has been the best ever, as the lamb ing averaged from 105 to 130 per cent. Kilgour says he never saw so many twins before. and he thinks it must have been due this year to the atmospheric conditions. After spending a few days in the city he returned to Junction to look after his other bands.

And the County Pays the Bill

The case which was tried here before the local justice court on Friday of last week is another illus tration of snapshot judgment in the attempted administration of justice, wherein the county has to foot the bill. The case was that in which James Cook of Humboldt. Yavapai county, had been arrested on a warrant sworn out by John O. Harrington, of Flagstaff, charg- ing the said Cook with stealing and having unlawful possession of a horse. From the. testimony given at the trial it would appear that there had been no case against Cook in the beginning; but it is not our desire to comment on that phase of the question. We do desire, how ever, to speak of the expense con- nected with the case-that of bring ing Mir. Cook, his son and witnesses from Yavapai county, and the ex- penses of the sheriff's office in serv- ing the papers. We do not desire to fix the blame for the blunder that had been made. All facts brought out in the trial tended to show that whatever action that was taken should have been taken in Yavapai county. The warrants should have been issued there, and if the case was to have hearing il should have been heard there.
 What is the result? When the evidence is in the local justice dis covers that he has no jurisdiction whatever in the premises, and dis
 misses the case. But who pays the cost? Why, the taxpayers of thil county, of course. And it is no
 the proper thing for the county tt be subjected to expense of this kint when little judgment displayed on the part of some one would hav' averted all the trouble and expense

Let Us Have the Band Stand

Recently the NEWS referred to the fact that the local band had offered it's services for the purpose of furnishing open air concerts on Sunday or other evenings, provided the citizens of the town would sub scribe an amount of money suffi- cient for the erection of a band stand. Members of the band circu- lated a subscription list and suc- ceeded in raising quite an amount of money, but not sufficient to build the kind of stand desired. They also met with reversals, and some people threw cold water on the proposition. As result the band, as an organiza ton, has abandoned the project of erecting the stand, though they would still be willing to furnish music, free of charge, if the stand were built. It appears to the writer that all the help and encouragement possible should be extended the organization, as we now have band of fourteen pieces and they really play excellent music. Owing to certain comment, the boys have decided that they will not go further with the project, but the citizens of the town should take up the matter themselves and see that the stand is constructed. The band desires through the NEWS to extend to those who so willingly subscribed funds their sincere thanks and appreciation, yet as there was to be no financial gain in the prop osition to them, they do not desire to be unnecessarily criticised:

DoinSs On the Range :.

Ranger s. B. Shumway was in the city the first of the week from his headquarters at Anita in the Grand Canyon forest reserve, hav- ing come in for the purpose of fse- curing some lumber with which to erect a cottage for himself about half way between Anita junction and the mines. He stated that the cattlemen of that section, in. ac
 cordance with the reserve rules, began driving their herds off the reserve on the 3Oth of May, head. ing them for Spring valley. Among the number affected by the order are Wm. Donaldson, Robert Kin. ser, Ed. Geddes. Sid Pittman and the Babbitts. MT. Shumway also informed us that Henry Hill and William Nagiller are busily ,.en- gagged in adding twenty additional feet of filling to the Hawkins dam, which is located some ten miles southeast of Anita. He says the Canyon roadbed is now in first class shape between Anita and the Can yon, having been but recently new ly ballasted, and that there now re- mains but some ten miles of track south of Anita which has not been put in proper shape, but that this is being done as rapidly as possible.

Agent Hugo Victor's mother and sister are expected to arrive here about the 18th from New York and will remain for the summer, he having rented the Cap. P. Smith residence.
 MT. and Mrs. William Grosskopf departed last Sunday for an outing of a couple of weeks down on the Verde. going via Jerome Junction to Camp Verde. This is the first vacation Mir. Grosskopf has taken for some time and will no doubt be greatly enjoyed by him.
 Next Thursday, June 14th, will be the 129th anniversary of the adoption of the Star Spangled Ban ner as our national ensign. Every true American honors the flag, not because of it's beauty, but because it is the symbol of liberty, good government, civil rights and human progress.
 The large posters of the Williams Fourth of July celebration are be- ing posted all over the country. While they do not make ones nerves "itngle," as do the Flagstaff bills, they will make the natives and others sit up and take notice that Williams is the place that eel brates right.
 A team belonging to Jacob Salz- man, and attached to heavy truck, ran away Tuesday afternoon, but luckily sustained no damage. They had been standing in front of the store, and evidently became scared at some paper that was blowing around. Running down the street toward the depot at every jolt of the wagon a bale of hay or sack of barley hit the ground. They were caught out on the flat by Minor Owens. who chased them on horse back.
 The Williams Gym club has sus- pended it's meetings for the sum- mer, but will resume again next fall. The newly elected officers are: Alex Johnston, president; Miss Eliza Mcintyre, vice president; Mrs. T. F. Maddock, secretary. The club has secured the privilege of using the vacant lot at the corner of Fourth street and Williams ave- nue, next to the Arey home. now the Cummings property, and is having same put in condition for tennis court. There the leisure hours of the members of the club will be spent during the summer months.
