Do You Open Your Mouth

Like 8 young bird and gulp down what ever food or medicine may be offered you Or, do you want to know something of the composition and character of that which you take into your stomach whether as food or medicine? |?
 Most intelligent and sensible people nowadays insist on knowing what they employ whether as food or as medicine. Dr. Pierce believes they have perfect right to insist upon such knowledge. So he publishes, broadcast and on each bottle wrapper, what his medicines are made of and verifies it under oath. This he feels he can well afford to do because the more the ingredients of which his medicines are made are studied and understood the more will their superior curative virtues be appreciated.
 For the cure of woman's peculiar weak nesses, irregularities and heterogeneous, giving rise to frequent headaches, back ache, dragging down pain or distress in lower abdominal or pelvic region, accom- panied, ofttimeS, with facilitating, pelvic, catarrhal drain and kindred symp- toms of weakness, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a most efficient remedy. 1t is equally effective in curing painful periods, in giving strength to nursing mothers and in preparing the system of the eXpectant mother for baby's coming, thus rendering childbirth safe and com paratively painless. The UFavorite Pre- scription" is most potent, strengthening tonic to the general system and to the organs distinctly feminine in particular. It is also a soothing and invigorating nervine and cures nervous exhaustion, nervous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasmS, chOrea or St. V1tus's dance. and other distressing nervous symptoms at tendant upon functional and organic dis eases of the distinctly feminine organs.
 A host of medical authorities of all the several schools of practice, recommend each of the several ingredients of which rFavorite Prescription" is made for the cure of the diseases for which it is claimed to be a cure. You may read what they request for free booklet of extracts from the leading authorities, to Doctor R. V. Pierce, Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In- stitute, Buffalo, N. Y., and it will come to you by return post.

Important Case Decided.

Amid the sadness and disastrous
 results of the flood the people ol
 Clifton have one bright thing to think of, the final decision in their
 favor by the Supreme Court of the
 United States at Washington, in
 the famous Orphan case, which allows the foster parents final legal possession of the orphans shipped out here by the New York Found ling Home about three years ago.
 This case has occupied the atten- ton of the various courts of the territory and the United States for long time, and for time it was feared that the Influence of the friends of the New York institution would bring the decision against the foster parents, but after carry ing the matter from court to court, each court sustaining the original decision in favor of the parents, the matter has at last reached it's final settlement and the children will remain in the comfortable homes in which they have been establish ed.
 All those who were here at the time of the memorable incident of the bringing of these orphans into the district, when the little ones were left in the homes of filthy and uncouth Mexicans by an un- responsible agent and the sisters in charge of them, will rejoice at the outcome of this famous case.
 Very seldom in the history of these communities has anything hap pened to so arouse the public sen timent and when responsible peO- pie stepped in and cared for tine little ones and refused to deliver them up to the agent again, public sentiment was strongly in favor of the side of the rcscuers and whether their action was legal or not technically speaking, they have been sustained by the highest courts ot the land in their action and their cause has heen adiudged l the cause of justice |

bruised but alive. Two men were seen wrestling with a trunk in a house just as it vas washed down and it is thought that they were both drowned. AAside from these no one is known to have been lost.
 The store room of the Arizona Copper company, where a heavy stock of goods was kept, was badly undermined and had not the stock been removed the whole building would have gone down stream.
 The Shannon store was not dam aged bat this company lost two cars of lumber which were stand. ing on the track.
 JIG. Ottman of the A. c. store department was in Morpnci Thurs day with train of burros, getting supplies and provisions for the camp, as the stock on hand is not sufficient to supply the people dur- ing the time the road will he shut down. School has been closed for at least week until the debris is cleared up.
 Judge Shirley was in Morenci Thursday and savs this ia the worst flood he has ever known In the dis trict in the many years he has lived here. He says the amount of water that ran out of the canyons around and above Metcalf was alone enough to almost wash out the town of Clifton, and with the additional water which fell in Oth- CT parts, the wonder is that the damage was not even greater

A. G. McAllister, Asst. Dist. At torney, was in Morenci Wednesday y night to try the ease of the Terri tory vs. Silvestre Hernanded and Hermenijildo Hernandez, charged with murder.

MetcaIf Badly Damaged,
THE AFTERMATH.

The flood at Metcalf was the worst that has ever been known in the history of the camp and tine damage to property was very heavy. Every canyon and ravine around the town was filled with water and the creek was turned in- to raging river.
 About ten houses were washed away, including four of the Met calf Improvement company. The Alianza Hispano-Americano lodge lost their lodge building and all paraphernalia, and many private homes were lost.
 One Mexican walked off the track into the river and was car ried down the stream from the bar Der shop to the peach orchard where he was fshed out, badly

been on a rampage. One piece of track between Guth .ie and Coro- nado has gone out, another near Sheldon, and another near the Stock Yards above Duncan.
 THE AFTERMATH.
 It is difficult to learn anything authentic with regard to the loss of life as only two or three bodies have been reported found up to the time of going to press, though it is supposed that fully fifteen or or twenty people went down in the wreckage.
 The usual fiends that haunt such disasters were around and several were shot for footing and stealing.
 The morning after the disaster found the people in a most re- markable frame of mind consider ing the great calamity they had undergone, but they looked at it philosophically and many started cleaning up the debris long before the sun was up. While there was plenty of food in town at the va rious stores and there is no danger of famine, it was almost impos- sible for several days to get thing to eat or drink and beds were as scarce as hens teeth.
 COMPANY MAY MOVE WORKS.
 It is rumored about Clifton that the Arizona Copper company will move their works to the site of the stock yards about two miles below the town. They have been very heavy sufferers at all the floods in recent years a..d it is understood that the directors, who were present in Clifton and wit messed the effects of the flood, are in favor of making some change.
 The site spoken of is q good one and would give ample room for the smelter and concentrating plants anI other works of the company and at the same time the ground in the vicinity is high enough to protect the property against such | heavy losses from the raise in the | river

 The new restaurant and Loomis' Drug Store in the new Spezia brick were not badly damaged, the water just coming to the floor.
 The stock of the Neff store and Central Market was badly damaged and their loss was quite heavy.
 The stock of Simon Hsguenauer was almost entirely damaged though the building was not badly hurt.
 The saloons of Chas. Henry and Dunagan & Baldwin were flooded and the fixtures and stock suffered a heavyloss.
 There was about three feet of water in the drug store of Barrett & Beauchamp but their damage was not very heavy.
 
 Morris Robenowitz store and Col. smiths saloon were under water and large amount of the stock in both places damaged, how ever the Col. was open for business as usual the next day
 The Hub store and English bar Der shop were high and dry, though they both suffered some damage to the porches in front.
 The small houses beyond the barber shop were badly hurt and some are about out of commission.
 The Arizona Copper company's store and warehouse were flooded with about one foot of water but the damage here was not great.
 The ice plant and general office buildings suffered slightly as did also the Cromb < Shannon market, and the Arizona Copper company's drug store was slightly damaged.
 One man coming down in the wreckage, went through one of the big windows, but as long as it saved his life there was no hard feeling.
 The Independent Assay Office was about three feet under water and the Era Printing office was buried in six feet of water and mud, their loss being about $1 500.
 The Depot was a foot under and all the homes of the Arizona Cop per company officials were dam aged by water and mud, though they didn't go out.
 The old buildings of the Blinn Lumber company were badly washed and flooded but remained standing.
 SOUTH CLIFTON AND RIVERSIDE.
 The residence of Walter Paine had a narrow escape but still stands.
 The brick adjoining was washed away and completely lost.
 All the houses in this district were flooded and about ten were washed out or melted down, Mrs. | Brutinel losing five in this row.
The copper era., 1906-12-06

The shannon store was badly cracked by the sinking of the ground underneath, but suffered no material loss.
 Camp fires were numerous in the vicinity of the track above South Clifton and nearly all the residents of this section spent the night around them.
 Most of the houses in Riverside suffered from water. Dr. Fales' house was badly flooded but stood. The Shannon Hospital and Tom Smiths residence were not damag- ed, but all beyond had some water in them.
 The only great damage done in Hills Addition was to the ruins of the school house, which were com pletely damaged and the building can never be repaired.
 NO WATER OR ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
 One of the greatest hardships of the disaster was the destruction of the water mains and electric light ing service. The pumping plant of the water company is completely buried, and their loss is reported to be very heavy. Aside from their loss here, much of their main pipe line, between the pump station and town, was washed out and their mains in town are all out of com nilsson. 'Their loss will easily reach S2O,0OO, 1t is estimated. Within few days the town will have a temporary water service, but it will take some time to get the regular system in working or der.
 The lighting plant itself was not greatly damaged, but the poles and wires all over town were pulled down by the fallen houses and de- bris, and the whole town will prac- tically have to be rewired.
 CORONADO ROAD OUT OF COMMISSION.
 The heaviest loss to the Arizona Copper Company was perhaps the washouts along the Coronado rail- road, between Metcalf and Clifton.
 Miles of track have been torn up and buried, tunnels have caved and bridges have been swept away, and it s estimated that it will take from four to six weeks before the road can be put in shape. Che thousand men have been put to work between Metcalf and the Longfellow Incline and a large below the incline and this work will be pushed rapidly. The men came from the mines of the in Metcalf and Morenci.

Terrible HardShips Suffered by Explorer in Arctic
 Night Food Gives Out and Men Live on Dog Meat.

New York, Nov 17--In a special from Sydney, Nova Scotia. The World today gives some details of the hard- ships endured by Captain Peary and his men in their futile dash for the North Pole.
 After reaching the most extreme Greenland settlement, it is said, sev- enty Esquimaux and 100 dogs were secured. and then taking, the ice, the steamer Roosevelt drifted on and steamed through. the, barrier of S2.27 degrees north. where winter quarters were taken up. being the fartnest north winter quarters in the history of Arctic explorations.
