very brief:

Nugent set fire to the note and
crushed the ashes with his foot. Then
he lifted the little girl to his arms.

your mother that it's all right and
that-no, that's all, Irene. And now

into quiet Watts street.

to be persuasion pitted against OBJ

Cananea Suffers
 Damaging Canard

Tombstone parties who have come up rom Cananea during the past week state that there is no truth in the fol- lowing report that was printed Tn the Phoenix Republican a short while since:
 "A man who recently arrived from sonora states that the Greene ConsoI. dated company of Csnanea recently shipped 300 Chinamen from Guaymas To Cananea, where they will be put to work Tn the mines. They were brought over the railroad to a station below Nogales, and were taken across the country from that place to Cananea. It is understood that the Greene con- pany is sorely pressed for miners; a many of the Mexicans heretofore em- p oyed there have left for other sec tions."
 The only Chinamen in the employ of the company are being used in a quarry ana lew Tn grading work. There has never been any Chinamen used in the mines there, and it is the general opinion of those who have been in Cananes for some time that the company does not intend to put any there now.
 All fear of an uprising against the Americans on September I6 has sub sided among the people of Cane nea and no trouble is anticipated. Col. Rosterlisky is in the saddle, and while the valiant commander of the fearless Mexican rursles remains in the yiciu Ity of Csnanea the public may rest in -ecurity, as the iron hand of President Dias waves aloft as 6 warning to those vlly inclined.

Raises By Territorial
 Board of Equalization

The Phoe"ix Gazette SD aking au- thoritively gives the follo~ing force s' of the raises to be made by the Terri torial Board of Equalization on min ing assessments. The board has dls' cus-ed the proposed raises for several days and propose taking final action this evening.
 The following extract is taken from the iazette:-
 "The higest raise will be in Cochise where the increase will be about *3,- OOO, 900, being an increase ot 400 per cent.
 "Ip Gila county the increase aill be very close to a million and the next highest will be isvapai county with a boost of over $500, 900.
 "The returns for the year are $6,- O47,s43. l6 and the increase will mount to about S4,720,O00 the total being AS close as can be forecasted about BIO, ,76S 900 or almost million less than last years assessment after the boards raise.
 "The board will not likely make any changes worth mentioning in oco- nino, Maricops, Pima, Pinal, anta Cruz counties. The are no mining returns from Apache and Navajo and in Graham there will be no change that county being returned practical ly at the figure the board boosted it to last year.
 "The raises will be 401 per cent in
 ochise, 200 per cent in Gila, 100 per cent in Yuma, 50 per cent in Mohave and B 1-3 per cent in Yavapai coun- ties.
 "Figuring from that basis the in crease in dollars and cents will be: cocbise county, $3,l75.O7s.56; Gila s9I1.5OO.O0; Yavapsi. s57o,750 e6; Mo have. s64 .67S. 76; , una, $3s 100 co; a total of s4,720, ,1O4 ss"

The placing of this frs, sack of valley sugar on the market marks the beginning of an industr, that cannot help but be of Inestimable value to the community in more way. than one.
 "In the first place, it will place ar enhanced value on the farming land. by increasing their rroductiveness ii adding one more profitable crop. Sec ondly. it will offer an increased field of labor for the unemployed, both skilled and unssilled Third, it will, when the industry is more fully developed add thousands of dollars directly to the wealth of the community, and so on indefinitely.

Whatever nay De the ldct as tO many of the so-called patent medicines con taining injurious ingredients as broadly published in some journals Of more or less influence, this publicity has certainly been of great benefit in arousing needed attention to this subject, IL has. In considerable measure, resulted in the most intelligent people avoiding such foods and medicines as may be fairly sus- pected Of con taining the injurious ingre- dients complained of. Recognizing this fact some time ago, Dr. Pierce. of Buffalo, N. Y., rtook time by the forelock,' as 1t were. and published broadcast all the ingredients of which his popular medi- cines are composed. Thus he has com pletely forestaiied all harping critics and all opposition that might otherwise be urged against his medicines. because they are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION Fur thermore, from the formula printed on every bottle wrapper. it will be seen that these medicines contain no alcohol or other habit-forming drugs. Neither do they contain any narcotics or injurious agents. their ingredients being purely vegetable extracted from the roots Of medicinal plants found growing in the depths of our American forests and ci well recognized curative virtues.
