A 1rite Saying.

IL is trite saying that 10 man is stronger than his stomach. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery strengthens the stomach-puts it in shape to make pure. rich blood-helps the liver and kidneys to expel the poisons from the body and thus cures both liver and kid ney troubles. If you take this natural blood purifier and tonic, you will assist your system in manufacturing each day pint of rich, red blood, that is invigo- rating to the brain and nerves. The weak. nervous. run down, debilitated condition which so many people suffer from. is usually the effect of poisons in the blood; 1t is often indicated by pimples or boiis appearing on the skin, the face becomes thin and the feelings rblue.' Dr. Pierce's Discovery cures all blood humors as well as being tonic that makes one vigorous. srrOE- and fOrceful IL is the only medicine put up for sale through druggists for like purposes that contains neither alcohol nor harmful haDitformlng drugs. and the only one, every ingredient of hich has the profes- sional endorsement Of the leading medical writers Of this country.

Phoenix Mystery
 Nearing Solution

A Chicago dispatch ssys:-"The si' days wonder growing out of the dis covery that De Raylan. for years { clerk to Baron Schlippenbacb, imper ial Russian consul in Chicago, was { woman-a discovery only made aftel death in Phoenix-was solved yester' day by the admissions of the two wom. en with whom she lived as husband
 "The motive of De Raylan's mas querade, which was kept up for fifteen years, is mixed. A part of it dates back to her early affair with a girl in southern Russia at the first period ol her assuming "manhood" and 6 part of the explanation is found in her con- nection with revolutionary bunds both in this country and Russia.
 "Mrs. Eugene Bruchallus, De Rsy. lan's first "wife." and Mrs. Anne De Raglan, both unbosomed themselves Sunday regarding the mystery. They declared De Raglan wac a woman of the common class in southern Russia. The l1-year-old boy. which De Raglan olaimed as his son, is in reality the child of Mrs. Anne De Raylan by 6 former husband, Joseph Armstrong, O rooisfor of whosa hirfh mo ke fonnd in the Chicago city hall The report that the chi d had been kidnaped is declared by the woman as pure fiction.
 "Both women claiming to be De Raylan's wives say that trouble with her parents over revolutionary mat ters drove her from home when she was IS. The idea of posing as a man was not sudden with De Raylan but grew upon her."

GrindeII's Remains
 Are Discovered

The remains of Thomas Grindell and his unfortunate companions have been found at last. A mining man up from Lower California informed .he Douglas Dispatch :as: G5;siie.,'s body had been located by prospsctors and positively identified by letters ad- dressed to Grindell. This ill-fated party left Douglas in June. 1904, for the Tiburon Islands. They went to Nogsles and from there to Col. Emil Kosterlitzsky's ranch where they were given fresh outfit. They reached the gulf coast, but again penetrated the interior and perished for water On the desert. Only one man survived, and although Prof. Grindell's brother and Capt Rynning made several ef- forts to locate the remains, they were never successful in their perilous ex- petitions.
 Tom Grindell was the principal of the Douglas schools and the place was held open for him until the following Christmas.

Artificial Christmas
 Tree Latest Novelty

One of the novelties during the Christmas celebration this year are artificial Christmas trees, one of which was used at the residence of Agent Fisk of the Wells-Fsrgo Co.,. on Christmas eve. The imitation is SO exact a production of the real article that it is difficult to tell the difference between the two. It-is said that dur ing the past quarter of century the destruction of small northern woods are becoming depopulated of small trees and that it is now necessary to resort to something to take the place of the hundreds of thousands of trees that have been used in the yesrs that have passed.

A Tragic Ending on
 Christmas Eve

Choosing Christmas Eve as the time to make g tragic exit from this nun dane sphere, Albert Riley, we'll known Tombstone resident, committed sui cIde by taking rough on rats and died in agony after several hours vain eff forts to save him from his rash act.
 Riley wss 29 years of age, of steady habits and favorably known, therefore the news of his suicide was received with much surprise by his many friends.
 The sudden death of fellow work man who was killed at lthe mine re- gently is sad to have preyed upon Ri. ley's mind until he feared 8 similar accident might befall him. and quit ing his job began to drink heavily until the fated night when, in a des- pendent fit of melancholy, he drank g concoction of rough on rats. No cause is assigned for the rash act.
 Deceased leaves a father, mother, sister and wife to mourn his untime'y demise. He wae a member in good standing of both the K. of P. and I. o. o. F. lodges, under whose auspices the funeral will be conducted tomor. row afternoon at 2:3O o'clock.
 The community sh,res with the sorrowing family over the nasty action that bows them in grief.

The newspaper is for every body and hence must publish something for everybody. If you see something which is of little interest to you, remem- Der that there are others and that the entire paper is not printed especially for you. The very thing that is dull and uninteresting to you may be the one thing in the paper for some other readers. There are whole pages in the daily papers that are of no interest to us, but they are are to oth- CTS. A paper which contained nothing but such matter that would interest any one or an other of us would have a linn ited number of readers. There are many people of many
