 "The question that confronted the commission was whether or not this whisky, so-called, is whisky within the meaning of the pure food law. If so, the property of the rectifiers, to the extent of mil lions of dollars will not be dis turbed. If not, the mixture will have to be labeled 'nutral spirits and who would deliberately walk into a saloon or a drug store and ask for a bottle of neutral spirits or drink of neutral spirits?"

Sheriff of the County of Msrcopa 2
 Suicide

Sheriff J. Elliott Walker, of Mar icopa county, died Wednesday last at Phoenix by his own hand, says the Arizona Republican.
 Mir. Walker evidently fired the shot while temporarily insane, the outgrowth of an illness that was gradually undermining his reason.
 The sheriff was of a jovial dis position, and was widely known throughout the territory as kind ly and upright man.
 John Elliott Walker was 59 years of age. He was born in the Pied mont valley, Virginia, and at the outbreak of the war was student in state military school He left this school to join the famous Con- federate band of Col. John s. Mos by, and he served with that famous leader throughout the entire war.
 At the close of the war he went to California, settling in the north ern part of the state. A few years later he came to Arizona and has since made this territory his home residing most of this time in Tue son and Phoenix.
 MT. Walker had held during his lifetime number of political offices. both appointive and elective.
 Sheriff Walker was married in Tucson to Mrs. Robbins, who sur wives him.-Winslow Mail.

SOME ADULTERaTIoN.

Wrestling with the booze prob lem has been the national pure food commission. It has visited Kentucky, where, as stated in an interview by one of the members of the commission, ''they found a rather curious state of affairs. About 20,000,000 gallons of whisky are distilled in the state each year, while about 7O,000,00O gallons are shipped out each year.
 investigation showed that while only about 20,000,000 gallons are distilled there in the regular way, the 50,000,000 gallons consist of SO called whisky that is made up of

FRAMING A CONSTITUTION.

The Constitutional convention which is framing fundamental law for the new state of Oklahoma finds that there are as many con- fiicting elements to be reconciled Tn joining the two territories into a single state as were predicted and paraded as obstacles to a like union of Arizona and New Mexico. But with true American spirit the people of Oklahoma and Indian Territory are bending their ener- gles to reconciliation of those elements. There are many points of difference between the people of the Indian Territory and Okla. homa that have to be adjusted. And there are many difficulties within the Indian Territory that have to be solved. As a sample may be mentioned the practical exemption from taxation of all the Indian lands in the Territory. hll the land belonged to the five civilized tribes and a few minor tribes, and when this land was allotted in severalty it became the property of individuals instead of the nations. Because of lack of business capacity of these Indian allottees, their homesteads were made inalienable for practically quarter of a century. In addition to the homesteads, each tribal citizen was given surplus lands which, together with the home steads, consumed the entire area of Indian Territory. The last con- gress made these surplus lands in- alienable for a like period. The result Is that not to exceed 15 per cent of the agricultural lands of Indian Territory is on the market at this time, and the percentage will increase slowly for many years to come, unless congress should remove the restrictions on aliena- tion.
 Even the great areas of coal lands in the Territory are not available, The coal lands lie in the Choctaw and Chickasaw Ma tions, and are the common prop erty of these two tribes. They comprise about 450,000 acres, and were surveyed and set aside by the federal government for these tribal governments, the money from their sale to be distributed per capita

 saws 4 plan iof tbe sale of these
 lahds under Che supervision of the
 secretary of the interior failed, the
 secretary declining to sell them at
 the prices offered. Senator La
 Toilette and others asserted last
 winter in the senate that these
 lands were worth hundreds of
 millions of dollars, and that there
 was a scheme on foot for their ac-
 quirement by gigantic monopoly.
 This agitation was responsible for
 the appointment of the senate
 committee lately in Indian Terri
 tory.
 Much of these coal lands lie in
 body, and none is subject to taxa
 tion. On these lands, and on non-
 taxable allotted land shut in and
 surrounded by these coal lands,
 have sprung up forty or fifty small
 mining towns. The surface of
 these coal lands can not be sold.
 Citizens in these towns, mostly coal miners and merchants, now, and as they would under state- hood, maintain their small munich pal governments, schools, etc., only by heavy tax on their per- sonal property. The surrounding rural land is sterile and practically unframed, producing no trade for local merchants. It is proposed that the surface of these coal lands be sold for agricultural purposes at public auction to the highest bidder in tracts not exceeding 160 acres. Miners are ready to buy them, and engage in gardening, etc, for the support of the heavy population.
 As consequence the only prop erty in the Territory subject to taxation is that in the towns, viz: Town lots, the improvements thereon, stocks of merchandise, such manufacturing plants as may | be in operation, and the railways. The properties enumerated have to carry all the taxation both state md county, of one-half the state. That cannot help working injustice Q the Oklahoma portion. Here $ condition far more serious than that could have occurred possibly had there been brought about the proposed union of Ari- ,ona and New Mexico. But these conditions are boldly Saken in hand by the people of the .wo territories, with 6 determina- ion to ameliorate them and make he new state what it should be. That's Americanism.

MILES OF RED WATER.

Just at the present time peculiar
phenomena has been noticed by sew
eral mariners at the north end of Van
couver Island. and also about 80
miles north of the island. The water
in several places is as red as blood.
but from what cause no one seems to
know, says the Van Couver World.
The sailors and fishermen on the
New England Fish company's steamer
Celestial Empire stated today that
they had seen the red water and had
passed through about twenty miles of
it. The red blotches were scattered
for at least 20 miles, but they paid
no attention to it.
Some fishermen are superstitious,
and would refuse to sail through the
red water, claiming that it would give
them bad luck. but the Celestial En-
pire went through several blotches of
the water and had good luck all the
time. In fact, they caught few hall
but until they struck red water. The
most probable theory is that there ar.

MORAL CHARACTER OF CITIES.

Cities like men, have characters to
guard and defend.
People who are not wholly blinded
by glare of gold, look at the invisible
resources, the character of a city as
they would into the character of a
man, when forming new friendship.
Thinking men hesitate to locate in
n CITY where money is the only object
of worship by the leading citizens.
where morality is considered lightly
aud where the most fragrant vices are
winked at and excused on the ground
that they are necessary nuisances."
All the frontier cities of the west
are showing splendid spirit in dealing
with vice. Lewiston. Butte, Walla
Walla-all among the oldest and most
typical frontier cities, are suppressing
gambling and are driving the social
evil from the heart of the business
districts to hidden places outside
where it can be set aside and branded
with the marks of its infamy.
1t is time to do this all over the
west. There is much more in life and
business than money.

OREGON WOMEN ARE WONDERS

Hurrah for the women says the Pa
cific Homestead. God bless 'em:
what would the men do without them
In one Oregon county they are coming
to the rescue of their husbands. faith
ers and brothers. bv doing work in
the hay fields. The scarcity of men
for this purpose is the cause of the
operators of the hay rakes and hay
forks. and wielders of pitchforks.
The Gazette, at Corvallis Ore, in
commenting on the situation, says:
In Penton county. women are COM
ing to the rescue in their usual "un-
expected" manner, and are working
side by side with their husbands, faith
ers and brothers. Some of these wo-
men are loading hay,'som care driv-
ing teams, hauling, while still others
are driving the horses on the hay
forks at the big barns on the ranches.
One CT these girls is an q. y. c.
graduate and a popular teacher of
Benton county, but with rare good
sense she has not disdained to- make
herself useful and is drying the horse
on a hay fork at a relatives ranch not
so many miles north of Corvallis. And
yet, while women are lending their aid
in caring for the crop, there are Great

THE MUSIC THAT CARRIES.

I've toiled with the men the world has
blessed.
AS I've tpiled with the men who
failed;
I've toiled With the men who strove
with zest,
And I've toi!ed with the men who
walled.
And this is the tale my soul would tell
As II drifts Ger the harbor bar:
The sound of a sigh don't carry we'll
But the lit of laugh rings far.
The men who were near the grumb-
ler's side,
o, they heard not n word he said:
The sound of song rang far and
wide,
And they hardened to that instead.
It's tones We're sweet as the tales they
tell
OF the rise of the Christmas star
The sound of sigh don't carry well.
But the lilt of a laugh rings far.
If YOU would be heard, at all, my lad,
Keep a laugh in your heart and
throat:
For those who are deaf to accents sad
Are alert to the cheerful note.
Keep mold of the cord of daughters
bell,
Keep aloof from the means thai
mar;
The sound of sigh don't carry we'll
But the lit of laugh rings far.

WILL BURN PRICELESS STORE.

Mrs. John Bailey Miller, who lives
at Saddlebrook farm, the old Joe JEFF
ferson estate in New Jersey, has an
nounced that if a mortgage of s15,-
900 against the place is foreclosed, as
threatened by the executors of the
jefferson estate, she will have her
great collection Of furniture, bric-a-
brac and pictures taken to field
near the house and burned. 1t Is said
she had been offered $4,000 for her
furniture alone.
Mrs. Miller is an aunt of Helen M.
Gould, her husband having been the
brother of Jay Gould's wife. The
property at Hokokus is one of the
most curious pieces of country realty
in existence, the house being about
100 years old and filled with remark
able objects collected by Miller for
% years.
Ms. Miller says she cannot maintain
the old homestead and pay off the
mortgage as well, and rather than per-
NIT anyone to purchase or to obtain
her household effects she will have
them removed to a field and de-
stroyed.

Along with dyspepsia comes nervous

its products assimllated by the system.
The blood is charged with pOisons which
come from this disordered digestion, and
In turn the nerves are not fed on good,
