The Royal Month and the Royal Disease

Sudden changes OF weather are es-
pecially trying. and probably to none more
so than to the scrofulous and consump-
tive. The progress of scrofula during a
normal October is commonly great We
never think Of scrofula-its punches, Gu
famous eruptions, and wasting of the
bodily substance-without thinking of the
great good many sufferers from it have
derived from Hoods Sarsaparilla, whose
radical and permanent cures of this one
disease are enough to make It the most
famous medicine in the, world. There is
probably not a city or town where Hoods
Sarsaparilla has not proved its merit in
more homes than one, in arresting and
completely Graduating scrofula, which is
almost as serious and as much to be fear
ed as its near relative-consumptio

Township without Watches.

1t indeed seems strange that so
rich and prosperous a community as
our neighboring township of Buckskin,
that there Is not watch in the whole
township, or at least that has been
the report of the assessor for the past
two years. The Board of Equalization
can not see the matter that way and
at their meeting last Thursday had
the assessor appear before them to
explain matters. His being unable
ito explain the cause why time.pleces
we're ararety, he was ordered to again
recanvas the township with a view to
locating watches. To this order the
assessor vigorously objected, claiming
the watches we're wearing apparel,
and the county commissioners have
appealed to the Attorney General TO
find out If they can not compel the
assessor to recanvas the township.

The Old SAKE Horn Band.

John w. Tweed last week handed us
Interesting relic of ante-bellum
Ripley in the shape of program of a
musical entertainment given by the
"Saxe Horn Band" and Glee Singers,
of Ripley, Ohio, on New Years Eve,
Dec. 81, 1853. The object of the en-
tertainment was, in the language of
the program : awe most respectfully
solicit the patronage of all lovers of
music who nay desire to assist VS. in
raising funds to prooare chandelier
for the Town Hall of this place. "
The program stated that the police
would be in attendance, which might
lead to the inference that musical
events in those days we're strenuous

A special dispatch from Dawson. N. N.. says that at meeting of the of ficers of the F. P & s. W. at which Colonel Dodge of the Phelps Dodge company was present it was decided to let the contracts for the construc- ton of the line from Corona on the Southwestern 10 Dawson. via Las We gas. in March. i large force is n1ak- ing the permanent survey. and tbe cross-sectioning of the road has reach ed Las Vegas from the south. The permanent survey will be completed early in the year.
 More than q thousand men are now working at the Dawson coal camps and almost as many more in the coke ovens. but it vas decided at the meet ing to increase the scope of the min ing operations
 Whi;e the first object of the new road is 10 enable the Phelps-Dodge company to ship it's coal direct to its Bisbee and Douglas smelter. il is stated on excellent authority that the ultimate destination of the road is Denver. thus making a realization of the old plans for a Denver Fl Paso short line.
 This means a direct connection to the gulf, short line to Fl Paso from Denver. and railroad competition for th ewhoie territory involved.

PHOENIX MAN TELLS

Jeff Duncan is in receipt of a letter from h,s brother. D. A. Duncan. fo :. merly of Phoenix, who tells an in. teres;.ag story or his trip to a group Of uninlabited islands along the coast of Soutt America and Mexico fer the past ten years and has been as near Phoenix as Chihuahua but tho two brothers have not met since he first left he.e
 He las had many thrilling and try ing experiences, the most trying being several years ago when he set e0 to risit iaire located for several parties in Carthagena. With two men the trip of seyenty miles was started in 6 new coat up stream. It was hard pulling ard after a several weeks journey they discovered they had made iut half the distance and ali had malaria fever. The other two men died but Duncan recovered and made his way back to the nearest habltatiou That as the last the Phoenicians ever heard of their mine as he left there for Ecuador shortly after that and never yentured to visit the prop erty again. Following is portion of Afr. Duacan's latest letter:
 y. I. Duncan. Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear brother:-I wrote you about August 18th that Twas leaving for the Galzpaso Islands. I went to look into the cat.ie business. Well I have been there and am now on return trip, having crnbarked the 1ith and hope to arrive Tn Guayquil about tre goth. 1 did nol write you from the islands be cause there are no mail connections and no, even regular transportation.
 We touched the land September 1st, having spent 13 days in passage over. linen I was .42 days there and in that time was on four islands, oniy ore of which is inhabited. From the standpoint of both hardship and pleas ure thu has been the most interesting trip I have ever been upon. having had a touch of both extremes.
 Having bought a rifle. 30-30 Win chester. I joined in the hunt of wild cattle for their hides. l saw moro than 400 carcasses of bulls and wild cows that had been killed during the last six months for their pelts We killed over 900.
 "Ovcr sixty years go a man from Guayquil formed settlement on the
