 A native from Buckeye, while pass ing through here Monday on his way to Phoenix, met with a very serious accident as a result of a runaway.

The Earlier or Later Fate of Jolnture

The railroad rate bill, which is now before the senate, will have the effect either of greatly expediting action on the joint statehood bill or of indefi- nitely delaying the final consideration of it.
 The belief of the Republican that it would nave the former effect is strengthened by the Associated Press dispatches last night, stating is to be the belief of the senate leaders, among whom are some unfriendly to the Foraker amendment, that the referen- dunn provision will be adopted and that the bill will be quickly passed without opposition.
 Though there is no doubt of the ability of the friends of the amend ment to adopt it. it's adoption would be quite a natural thing in the pres ent circumstances, even If there were a slight majority against it. It is the peculiar lineup of the senators on the statehood bill and the rate bill that make this outcome of the contest on the Foraker amendment the natural one.
 There is an evident disposition among a great many republican sena- tors to get the statehood matter out of the way This desire happens to be stronger in senators who are indif- ferentiy favorable to jointure than in those who are opposed to it.
 The interest in the rate bill is over whelming. so much so that the state hood bill has been almost obscured. It is still there, though, and will, even though displaced. be an obstruction from time to time.

Americans Abroad.

We trust that the circumstances sur rounding the capture of w. K. Wander biIt in an Italian village the other day will not be such as to make it an af- fair of international importance. As an American citizen. MT. Vanderbilt is entitled to as great a measure of potection by his government as any other citizen. By reason of his great wealth and prominence he is entitled to no more.
 Lesser Americans. reckless riders in automobiles have frequently run in with the authorities of foreign govern ments and have been punished when they have deserved punishment. It is to be hoped that MT. Vanderbilt will receive his due whatever it may be. Whether to his satisfaction or not with out any representations from the state department. Not long ago an Amer ican millionaire was arrested in France for recklessly running down a peasant. He was promptly arrested and sen fenced to the same punishment by fine and Imprisonment as would have been visited upon any other person, native or foreigner. found guilty of a like offense. That ought to have been the end of the matter, provided of course, that the American had received justice in his examination.
 It was never contended that he had not been justly treated. Still. how ever. he was an extreme millionaire and the state department was induced to mildly bestir itself in his behalf with the result that there was a modifi- cation O: his sentence.
 There was some talk among the mans friends at requiring an apology from the French provincial authorities who enforced the law. We believe though the modification of the sentence was permitted to fall short of that
 All Americans are glad to see Am ericans get the best of it in their clashes with foreigners over the trif- ling infraction of local regulations and they are proud to observe that the gov ernment at Washington spreads it's protection over them.
 But when John Smith. lying in a foreign jail for some important of fense hears that Washington has made successful representation in the case of some more prominent American, caught in the same kind of a fix, he is apt to grow pessimistic His mind runs back to his school boy days, which necessarily involve that indispensa- ble address of Rienzi, who exclaimed Why, in that elder day twas greate. to be Roman than a King"
 Then it dawns upon John Smith that RienZi didn't mean all Romans.

A Valuable Agent.

The glyeerine employed in Dr. Pierce's medicines greatly enhances the medi- cinal properties which it extracts and holds in solution much better than alco- hol would. It also possesses medicinal properties of it's own, being valuable demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic and anti ferment. It adds greatly to the efficacy of the BlacH Cherry bark, Golden Seal root, Stone TOOL and Queens root, con- tainCd in 7GOlden Medical Discovery" in subduing chronic, or lingering coughs, bronchial. throat and Jung affections, for all of which these agents are recOm- mended by standard medical authorities.
 In all cases where there is q wasting away of flesh, loss of appetite, with weak stomach, as in the early stages of consumption, there can be no doubt that glycerine acts as a valuable nutritive and aids the Golden Seal root. Stone root, Queens root and Black Cherry bark in promoting digestion and building up the flesh and strength. controlling the cough and bringing about healthy condition of the whole system. Of course, 1t must not be expected to work miracles. It will not cure consumption except in it's earlier stages. It will cure very severe, ObStin- ate, chron.c coughs, bronchial and laryn- zeal troubles, ard chronic sore throat with hOarSeneSS. In acute coughs it Is not so effective.
