How to Exercise the
 Bowels

They do not waste any precious fluid of the Bowels, as Cathartcs do.
 They do not relax the lntestines by greasing them inside like Castor Oil or Clycerine.
 They simply stimulate the Bowel Muscles to do their work naturally, com fortably, and nutrtiously.
 And, the Exercise these Bowel Muscles are thus forced to take, makes them stronger for the future, just as Exercise makes your arm stronger.

HAREMs IN EGYPT.
Plural Wives Not the Rule in the
 Poor Country Districts.

Imagine a divorce suit in which a husband was suing for release from four wives at one time. And yet that is a condition which often exists in Egypt, according to Joseph Rodrequez, a silk importer of Alexandria, who has just completed an extended tour of this country.
 MT. Rodrequcz seemed much i'm pressed with what he had seen in this country, and made special trip to Salt Lake City for the purpose of studying conditions in the home of the MormOns. He said that plural mar- riage in Utah seemingly had not de- creased in practice since the recent Congressional investigations. In Egypt, on the contrary, there was no law against polygamy, provided man did not have more than four wives at one time, yet the practice was being gradu- ally stamped out
 ''In large cities like Cairo and Alex andria, with a few exceptions, harems are now almost unknown" he said. Tt is mostly the ones that were establish ed thirty years ago or more that now exist. The better class of people nat urally are educated to the views of the civilized world, and fully apprec- ate the fact that polygamy must soon cease.
 "In the rural districts conditions are quite different. But among poor peo- pie it is as hard for them to support harem as it would be in America, al- though many manage in some way to do it, and also to provide for some thirty or forty children. These soon learn to manage for themselves, and, as living is inexpensive in Egypt, are self-supportng, in a way, at quite an early age. Still, the deprivation that must be suffered for one laboring man to support his various wives and chil- dren has, in itself, brought about a con dition which will soon do away alto geiher with the custom of having more than one wife.
 "There has been no change in the law regarding this, and it is doubtful if there will be. It permits a man to marry four women at once, and also gives him the privilege of dscarding any of them on slight provocation, through the divorce courts. AS in this country, he can marry again if he wants to, but at no time can a. citizen of Egypt have more than four wives" Philadelphia Bulletin.

V. R. Stiles, general passenger agent of the E. P. & 8. w. system. arrived in the city yesterday morning from Douglas. where he had spent few fays on business connected with his office. When seen last evening and asked concerning matters In railroad circles, Stiles said:
 The matter which will be most in teresting to the public at the pres ent time, think. is that of the excur- sion to the City Of Mexico. which will leave Bisbee on January 18th It has been customary to run an excursion every winter. and from all reports at the present time there will be larg sr crowd to take advantage of the op- oortunity to visit the capital of the Southern Republic than ever before Those who go will have an opportunity 70 visit other portions of Mexico, but the special train will go right on to the capital
 At Fl Paso the car shops are now running full force. and many mechan- ics are arriving in tht city daily with their families. To such an extent is this true that during the past couple of months. great inconvenience nas been suffered on account of not hay ing houses for new corners. Time and time again the hotels have been over crowded. and it is almost impossible to secure dwelling of any kind.
 N"The steel work on rhe new seven story office building for the E. P. & s. W. Company has reached the top story, and the work is being prose cuted vigorously. The walls have been erected to the fourth story, so far. and in short the structure is now beginning to assume the proportions of the building which it will be when completed.
 "A great deal of interes; is also be ing taken in the Elks' excursion to Philadelphia. which will take place next July. Even al this early day 50 members of the Fl Paso lodge have signified their intention of going to the convention. and have posted their money. The 9uadalajara band of 60 pieces which took the prize at Buffalo. will be taken to Philadelphia to march at the head Of the Fl Paso deleSa- tion."

ORE ON 1oo-FoOT LEVEL.

Col. c. N Lindley of No. 100 Broad way, New York, arrived in Douglas this morning from Nacozari and oth CT Sonora points.
 Col Lindley and his New York as sociates own numerous mining prop critics in Sonora among which Is the Antigua mine of the Tabotacacni dis trict. The colonel ccn-rms the news of a recent strike of much importance in the Antigua. The vein which had been worked for some time with good results to the 100-foot level has been recently cut at the 2o0-foot level by a tunnel showing a vein of high grade silver and copper ore six feet wide. The ore carries eight per cent cop per. which is three per cent higher than that of the l00-foot level, and from 90 to 75 ounces of silver to the ton This is considered very 1ne showing even for the rich district 1n which it was made.

sEMPLES TRIAL
Continued From Page One.

The greater part of the afternoon and evening was taken up in examin- ing different members of the grand jury who found the indictment and who had been subpoeane1 from Co chise and Santa Cruz counties to testi- fy regarding their bias and prejudice in the Semple case. Without excep- ton the grand jurors went on the wit ness stand and swoTe they had had no bias or prejudice in the case a, the time the indictment was found. They further testified they had had no con versa iion with Postmaster Cassidy re garding the case prior to the grand jury convening, with the exception oi Grand Juror Schmidt, who testified he did net remember having had a con yersation with Cassidy. and to the best of his recollection had had none. From the proceedings in the case It is evident the defense depended up on Former Assistant Postmaster Britt as the main witness, and attempted tune and again to prove a conversation between Britt and Cassidy regarding the Sempie case, held prior to the finding of the indictment. But each question of the counsel for the de- sensc in this direction was objected to by the prosecuting attorney and sus- tained by the court.
 The court he'd 1t was irrevelent,f in competent and immamterial what con yersation Cassidy might have had with Britt or anyone else. and confined the defense to questions tending 10 prove bias or prejudice of any grand juror sitting on the case. This the defense vas unable to do, and the motion to set aside the indictment on the grounds alleged in the affidavit was owe ruled.
 4 number of the witnesses sub poeaned in the case were not called, including W. II. BropAy. George Bux- ton. N. J. Cunningham. S F.. Cassidy, W. B. Kelly, R. X. Kirk and others.
 After the court overruled the mo ton setting aside the indictment, William B. Cleary. attorney for the defendant, presented a demurrer to the indictment on the grounds that D. N. SempIe had no knowledge of the publication of the alleged obscene article in the columns of the Miner on a certain day last December. and on the further grounds that the indic- ment for the offense charged did not constitute sufficient cause of action. This demurrer will be argued al g o'clock in the morning.

Man Endeayors to Stop It Without Avail, While Anoth- CT Narrowly Escapes Being Crushed to Death.

So quick ly did the car make the turn at the foot of the hill that a colored porter. who works in one of the saloons. did uoS have time fo move. and narrowly escaped being ground to death.
 The train started up the hill to the Holbrook shaft, and when it reacne d point opposite the tramway terminal of the Shattuck-Ariz Company the last car, which was of the flat variety and loaded with sacks of cement, broke loose, and started backwards. On account of the steep grade at that point, the car gathered speed quickly. and was under headway when Manuel Carrego. employed at the tramway. jumped on board and endeavored tc apply the breaks. Carrego exerted all of his strength. but it was of no ayail IS the runaway was gathering speed with every foot. and the man was forced to jump for his life.
 The car sped on down the mountain. and when 1t reached the slight curse back of the Copper Queen dispensary. was noticed by several bystenders. At the same instant as they foliowei the movement of the car. they noticed the colored porter, who had been standing with his back turned in the direction of the track. and the cas missed him by barely six inches.
