Beginning with the first of July the mail to Signal will leave Kingman on Monday and Thursday of each week, returning Wednesdays and Saturdays. J. w. Cummings has the contract and will carry passenengers and express. The change of the route from Hack berry to Kingman will be of great convenience to people living this side of the Sandy, as it will pass by Walla- pal Springs and the Enterprise mine. The fact of the passengers being able to get out on this stage will also be an improvement over the old line, as the mail will leave here early in the mOrn- ing and get to Owen before night. From Owen the mail goes to Signal and return the same day.

Under the order of the Attorney General of the territory Mohave coun- ty will hereafter discontinue the issu- ance of warrants on the expense fund when there is no money in that fund to meet the obligation. This is in ac- cord with the law. Heretofore war rants were issued on this fund and sold by the holders at a big discount. Under the present arrangement the old warrant will be allowed to stand out and payment will be made in cash on account of current expense. At present there is not enough money in the treasury to cover the expense for the last quarter, but this will be remedied before the end of the next quarter, which will put the county on a cash basis.

The board of equalization is in ses- sion and it is probable that many as sessments will be boosted to quite an extent. It has always been our opin- ion that the proper way to boom a county was to cut down its tax levy and the only way to do this is to make a high valuation of property. At the present time property has low valu- ation placed against it and if increased to the proper amount the tax levy will be materially lessened.

About rheumatism.

There are few diseases that infiict more
torture than rheumatism and there is
probably no disease for which such a
varied and useless lot of remedies have
been suggested. To say that it can be
cured is, therefore, a bold statement to
make, but Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
which enjoys an extensive sale, has met
with great success in the treatment OF
this disease. One application of Pain
Balm will relieve the pain, and hundreds
of sufferers have testified to permanent
cures by its use. Why suffer when Pain
Balm affords such quick relief and costs

Suction of a Train.

The peril of standing too near to n.y.
ing railroad trains was shown at Mama
roneck Westchester county, Saturday
afternoon, when Robert Coward, deputy
county clerk, was caught in the suction
of the Boston express on the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad,
dragged 40 iect and Instantly killed. 1t
is not an unusual thing for persons to
test the sensation of standing near a
train passing at high rate of speed.
The train in this case was going at the
rate of 60 miles an hour, and the dis
placement of air in such case is terrific,
causing a rush of it in the immediate
vicinity which even strong men some
times csnnot resist. Many persons seem
to think that so long as they do not gel
on the track they are in no danger. II
they will give little thought to the
matter they will see their mistake
Moreover, there is always the possibility
of something projecting from the train
which will strike one standing close tC
the tracks. Stand back and give the
air currents as well as the train right o
way.-G Rochester Democrat and Chron'
/ icle.

Investigating Boycott.

As stated in the Gazette of that day
causes for the Chinese boycott of Amer
ican goods were inquired into yesterday
by the Senate committee on immigration
in compliance with a resolution intro
duced by Senator Tillman. Chas. Denby,
chief clerk of the State dep rtment, who
for 90 years was in China attached to
the American Legation and later hold
ing positions under the Chinese govern
ment following the Boxer outbreaks, was
before the committee.
Mr.. DENLY said it was reported that
the boycott was instigated by the Chi
nese minister in this country to give an
incentive t, treaty negotiations.
"Do you think that Mr.. WI, the for.
mer Chinese minister to the United
States, had anything to do with it"'
asked Senator Lodge.
"Well, | think the boycott as an effec-
tive implement must have been thought
of by an intelligent Chinese official who
has visited this country" replied Mr..
DENLY.
Mr.. DENLY said the first open mani
festation of the boycott had been in
1904, and he tien traced the movement
to the present day. He said the boycott
now apparently was nearly dead, but
that the spirit was latent and easily
could be stirred to life with great fury.
Asked concerning notifications TO the
exclusion laws which would be likely
to sllay the anti-American feeling, Mr..
DENLY said, that the Chinese govern
ment takes little interest in its cOolie
class and the concessions must be to the
privileged classes. A modification OF
the laws excluding laborers, said Mr..
DENLY, would not appeal TO the Chinese
national pride, which is a new charac-
terstic.
"Is this pride growing" he was
asked.
"Well it has grown so strong that II
induced American Gnanciers TO part
with the best railway concession III
China" replied Mr.. DENLY.
The national pride of the Chinese was
attributed by Mr.. DENLY to desire tc
emulate the Japanese.
