The third annual territorial fair which is to take place at Phoenix Nov. II to 16 promises to be biggest one yet for Arizona. There will be $17,2OO in purses for harness races alone, besides liberal prizes that will be given for running races. This means the largest racing program west of the Mississippi with the excep- tion of two events in California. The other departments of the fair will be increased in the same proportion as the racing meet. At the time of year that the fair occurs in Phoenix the climate is ideal.

Seldom
 Wear Out

Dr. Miles, Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain-not only once, but as many times as it is necessary to take them. Many persons who suffer from chronic ailments find in them a source of great relief from the suffering which they would otherwise be com pelled to endure. Their soothing influence upon the nerves strengthen rather than weaken them. For this reason they sel- dom lose their effective ness.
 '1 am 62 years old and have suffered for 42 years from nervous troubles, rheumatism and neuralgia, palpitation of the heart, shortness of breath, sleeplessness, and pain around the heart. The Dr. Niles Anti-Pain Pills have been a blessing to me. 1 don't know what I should do without them, and they are the only remedy I have ever used that either did not wear out in less time than I have been us- ing them, or else the injurious results were such that I would be obliged to cease their uSe.''

Two feet behind him coarse Wire netting separated
him from the adjoining coyote Enclosure. Close
to the netting were two coyotes, apparently lying,
but in reality crouching with their cunning yellow
big wolf. At length Shag gave half roll and swung
his tail backward against the netting. Instantly
there was double snap as two sharp coyote shouts
shot through the meshes and attached themselves
to the timber VOLTS tail
Then the air convu1sed with terrible din.
Shag freed his imprisoned member-or most of it;
for coyotes have sharp teeth. His mate left her
four little puppies to join in the cause of her 1ord
and every coyote on the other side of the netting
lined up and snapped and snarled and made faces
in reply to the horrible growing and deep chested,
hateful roars of the larger CANNES Shag furious,
for before him was that cared sniveer with the
piece of tail still in his mouth. He especially hated
that coyote for he the villain that only the day
before had slaughtered one of Madam Shags pup

Enraged beyond endurance the big wolf sprang
high, and then threw himself against the fence.
To the surprise of the bystanders of the coyotes,

center of attraction for the coyotes, and they
snapped and bit him cruelty. He drew them up
and looked about him. He tried to free his front
legs, and by working them one at time he
found himself climbing. He looked around him
wonderlngly, and then upward. He had solved the
problem that had detied his wolfish brain for the
three years of his imprisonment within those hate
full Wire walls, the problem that had kept that
dreamy, vacant look in his pale eyes, as he used to
lie motionless for hours apparently seeing nothing.
One more effort and he was lettering with his
belly the top of the fence looking down upon
the coyotes. They were not scrambling each
other to reach him. Instead they sneaked
quickly about on low, crouching legs, with their
tails out of sight, dartng for this and that,
and holding their cowardy eyes fixed upon the big
gray figure above them.
Then the big wolf freed his hind legs, wobb1ed

thoroughfares of the heart of the city. Across
it, lodging electric car, several rigs and auto
car, came the stream of CANNES with the gray wolf
in the lead. He was laboring hard; the stern race
was telling on him. The chauffeur gave shout and
turning his machine, gave chase. In few mo-
ments they were up with the wolf; but he turned in
across the boulevards, and then sprang into side
lane, throwing off the men and most of the dogs.
But two collles, keen and swift of foot, followed
him, and, emboldened by the onslaught of mon
grel hound they snapped at the VOLTS rear. Some
workmen nearby ran across and with shout and
gesture encouraged the dogs, and the fight was on.
Once, and twice, the big wolf chopped and shook
and his enemies were two. collie as quickly
put out of commission; then to escape the missiles
hurled at him he put off again.
But now he was very lame and tired. His mouth
was open wide, as he painted heavily. Bloody
slavers ran from his lolling tongue, and his eyes
were red trimmed and beary. If they would only
let him rest little! But he was wolf and it was
everybody's duty to seek his life. But because he
wolf, he had the wolfish heart, that keeps on
and on and knows not defeat till it is dead. North

he loped onward; and though each 1ope was very
short, still he wolf.
For considerable distance he kept to the lane
and secured temporary respite; but a delivery
wagon blocked the way and forced him to the
street. Before he had gone quarter of mile, he
was again pursued and now he could not outstrip
his pursuers AS he struggled painfully onward a
long low building suddenly blocked the way. A
dozen ours were swapping around him, and seeing
a narrow door, he dashed into it almost against

Meaning of the Clause.

The word superintendent" was
either not in the copy Of the bond
isue bill furnished the Telegram, or
was accidentally omitted, when pub
lished. The leaving of the word out
has caused misunderstanding as to
what the clause creating a water
works board means. Provision is
made therein for the board to employ
superintendent, just as the Tele-
gram stated would be necessary, and
while the Office of water works COM
missioner is to be abolished, If the
bill becomes effective, yet there will
be substituted superintendent, who
will cooperate with the board and
have charge of the entire system un-
der the boards direction.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1907-01-31

The board of trades bond issue
ought to be a little more specific.
1t seems to be case of water. Ger
tainly, Baltimore street in its pres
ent condition, ought to be classified
as one Of the dams the proposed
bond issue is intended to cover. If
the board would visit that street at
the present it would probably and
properly conclude that no other dam
is necessary and also decide there
ought to be provision made for fltra-
ton in the water system Of the city.

few exceptions, as q good thing.
Manufacturers seem 70 be satisfied
with it and are complying with It's
provisions willingly and taking every
possible means to carry 1t ont just
as It Is. Manufacturers Of proprie-
tary medicines express themselves as
well satisfied with the law. though
1t works hardships upon them at
times and is costly to them in the
matter of labels and one or two other
features. They are not complain
ing against the national law at an.
though 1t makes these special re
quirements.
1t does seem, however, that state
pure food laws. unless they are like
the national pure food law, are
harmful. Such laws conflict with
the national law ana bring confus-
ion in the sale Of medicines. They
cause the manufacturers extra work
and extra cost to do something that
is valueless to the public and ac-
eompiishes nothing for its good. BY
this the Telegram means that the
matters required OF proprietary medi-
cine manufacturers by the state
ought not to go beyond the require
ments by the nation. and with the
national pure food law in effect 1t is
hardly more than mere repetition
to pass a state law on the subject.
Every legislature, however, it
matters not that many proprietary
medicines are prescribed so often by
leading physicians, some movement
by selfish interests takes place to
hamper the sale of patent medicines.
Druggists and others, usually others
engage in this and urge the passage
of laws against these medicines.
Those who engage in the movement
usually know nothing about medicine
at all and are more easily fooled
than the average person.
And there is a similar movement
on in the present legislature known
as House Bill No. -. 1t is pro-
nounced a bill which If passed and
made law will conflict greatly with
the national pure food law and be a
source of trouble to those who make
medicine just as it Will be to those
who take medicine.
The Telegram urges the legisla-
ture. II it must pass bill on this
subject, to make its provisions con-
form to the national pure food law.
Have the State law such as to sup
port the national and not one to de.
stroy the other. With this done,
good will come out of law designed
to protect and benefit the people.

THREE MEETINGS
HELD YESTERDAY
OF the Revival Series at the Cob
Methodist Episcopal
Church.

The prayer meeting at the after
noon 3 o'clock meeting in the Con
NJ E. church yesterday was a very
helpful one to all those present. For
an hour the tide of prayer for Gods
blessings on the meeting flowed on
and at was good to be there"
At the young peoples meeting at
Z O'Clock the boys and girls enjoyed
good lively testimony meeting and
one protested conversion ere the
meeting came to a close.
There was a good song service and
some very helpful prayers at the be-
ginning of the evening service. Mrs.
W, G. Riheidener, of Illinois, the
widow of the late Rev. W. G.
Rheildefer, one of the former prom
inent ministers Of the West Virginia
conference. made a very helpful and
touching prayer. The pastors sub
iect was, "a Victory. of Faith" in
which he showed that just as the
walls of Jericho fell down by faith
so to Gods faithful children today
would come equally great moral Vic
tories. Walls of prejudice. oppose
ton and sin will surely fall before
Gods people If they are courageous,
faithful and more forward at Gods
command. In the after service one
professed conversion.
The usual afternoon service was
held at 3 o'clock today. Tonight at
1890 o'clock the Rev. s. M. Day, of
Broad Oaks. viii preach the sermon.
The pastor announced that special
attention would be given to the DAY
of Prayer for Schools and Colleges"
at the young peoples meeting to be
held Friday at 4 o'clock, immediate.
ly following the o'clock meeting
The Rev. VIM. Anderson will preach
tomorrow evening and hold the sec
ond quarterly conference at the close
of the evening revival meeting.
