Whose Say-so is Best?

With nearly all medicines put up for
sale through druggists, one has to take
the makers say-so alone as to their cura-
tive value. OF course, such testimony is
not that Of disinterested party and
accordingly is not to be given the same
credit as II written from disinterested
motives. Dr. Pierce's medicines, how
ever. form a single and therefore striking
exception to this rule. Their claims to
the confidence of invalids does not rest
solely upon their makers say so or
praise. Their ingredients are matters of
public knowledge, being printed on each

sufferers are taken into DR.. Pierce's full

ARIZONA SPEAKS FOR HERSELF
Declares She's the Stuff Fine States
Are Made OF.

From the New York Sun.
If Arizona has her way she won't be
matched up with New Mexico in the
making of a state. She asserts that
she has within her own borders the
material for fine enough state for
anybody.
Her population Is given as 100000,
about $4,000 of that number being In
dians. New Mexico has much larger
population, but according to the Ari-
iona memorial to Congress many OF
them cannot even speak the English
language
Arizona spends more per capita for
education than any other state or ter
rltory except Texas. School teachers
are better paid than in any other state
in the union. Church membership has
increased &c per cent In the past ten
years.
There are twenty-nine banks in the
territory, having a combined capital OF
$2,122,675 and deposits of nearly $12,-
600, 900. Arizona has had only one
small bank failure in ten years.
The principal production is copper
Last year the mines of the territory
yielded 241, 100000 pounds of copper,
an increase of 600 per cent in eleven
years.
The development of agriculture by
irrigation in Arizona Is one of the won
ders of the west. A quarter of mil
lion acres are now served by canals
with a combined length of 1916 miles.
This is only beginning.
The government Is constructing two

next generation nearly million acres
will be brought under high cultivation.
This area almost equals that OF Della

The climate is such that crops can
be grown almost continuously the

voir is completed it is estimated that

to the players luck. from 10 cents to 81.
1t was said at police headquarters that
for some time the policemen have be-
leved that Pearce was conducting a
glambling place of some sort, and last
night the officers. dressed in citizens

They say that a number of factory
boys were playing It.
Although there was a sign in promi-
nence bearing the legend mo Galmbling"
still, they say the game was going merrily
on, accompanied by a variety of times

was said by the two men Immediately
before the shooting.
According to several witnesses, the first
shot was the one which burst the artery
in Thomson's breast and 1t stunned him.
He had been standing on the inside of
tho sidewalk hut after that shot it
seemed that he was badly stunned and
he walked towards the outside of the
navement where n is said the second
shot was fired He then wandered rather
aimlessIy, as II stunned, around some

There are two statements which vary
very much in regard to the trouble Fri

yesterday morning. Policeman Thomson
told Chief Nier and Policemen Burke

some trouble with Robinson, and that he
would prefer to go back to his beat, as
he liked that better than the sanitary
work.
Thomson said to Wier that Robinson

about a monkey wrench that Robinson

WHAT HUNYADI JANos is
The origin Of the Name.

In Hungary, in the 18th century,
there lived wonderful mana great
soldier and wise statesman-who was
principally instrumental in driving
back the "Unspeakable Turk and
keeping him. out of Hungary at the
period when bands of these marauders
were ravaging most of Europe. BY his
victories in war and peace this man
endeared himself to the people and
gained a great and permanent place
in the nations history. His name was
HUNYADI JANOS, or John Hunyadi,
as it would be in English. To the pres
ent day. in the affections of all Hun
garians. he holds the place of one of
their greatest national heroes. Is it
strange then that they should wish to
give this honored name to one of their
most wonderful natural products-the
famous Mineral Laxative Water from
the springs at Buda Pest? The I'M
falling value of this water as a sure
and gentle natural laxative has gained
for it world wide reputation, greater
even than that enjoyed by old John
Hunyadi in Hungary. A bottle costs
but a trifie and contains many doses.
One dose, II a tumblerful drunk on
arising, slightly warmed for best re-
sults) will within an hour move the
bowels gently and copiously. At all
druggists Ask for it by the full name

He has 81 900. He is looking for a
man with more capital and good
head for managing a cat island. His
scheme is this:
Up in the northern part Of Lake
Michigan is a little island four miles
long and one mile wide. He proposes
to erect there extensive sheds. There
is plenty of vegetation. and there are

He will put them on the island and
buy up dead horses and old meat from
the stockyards and have 1t dumped
there from tine to time. The cats will
be left for four years. eating this food

their fur more valuable.

@ May Plan Shops.-It is stated on
what seems to be thoroughly reliable
sources that the Burlington has pur-
chased 40 acres from the Rock Island
company east of the Watertown road
and between the tracks of the Burling-
ton and the Rock Island. 1t is rumored
that the tract will be used as the site
of machine shop for the repair work
of the st. Louis and St. Paul division
While details regarding the intention
of the company in utilizing the land
are meager, it is believed that shops
will be erected. None of the reports
relative to the purchase could be veri
fed from local sources. but it is believ-
ed that the plans of the company will
be made public in short time 1t is
also probable that a portion of the
tract will be used for yard purposes as
the company is greatly handicapped in
handling the heavy business which is
increasing rapidly. Should the Bur-
lington decide to locate shops at this
point, it will mean much for the city
and the suburbs to the east While it
is not expected that the shops will be
as large as those of the Rock Island at
Silvis, they will undoubtedly employ
several hundred men should they be es-
tablished.

COLLEGE BOYS IN DEMAND
why Kansas Farmers Prefer Them
Over All Other Harvesters.

why Kansas Farmers Prefer Them
Over All other Harvesters.
The college man Is much ip demand
In the Kansas harvest fields this year,
says a Topeka correspondent OF the
Kansas City Star From the reports
that are coming in to the office of T. b.
Gerow of the free employment bureau
the college man is given the preference
over all other harvesters. There are
now more than 800 college men work
ing in the harvest fields, and more are
coming. Mr. Gerow received letter
the other morning from Ellwood c..
Zook of Columbia, Mo-, asking for in
formation as to where party of twen-
ty University of Missouri students
should go for work. The young men
were instructed to leave Columbia at
once and to report to the Kansas City
agent the next day for certificates and
instructions.
1.-THE Kansas farmer who is up to
date gets hold Of these college men,"
said Mr. Gerow ''Those young fellows
know all the latest slang and gossip
and etiquette and such things, and
without knowing it they teach these
things to the farmers sons and daugh-
tiers. They know lot OF good stories
and most of them have some accom-
plishment that helps to pass the even
ings and Sundays. The college men are
too young to get tired and are accus-
toned to late hours, so that they make
things entertaining for the farmer and
his family while they are at work.
Most of the young fellows are in ear
nest and work hard even If they have
never seen q wheatfield and don't
know pitchfork from header barge.
Let the college men come, and 1 will
see that every one has a job for the
whole summer"

Mistral said the other day when some

he still finds leisure to write. He has
