on"hly. His conclusions he will
embody in a report to city council,

Main Street to be Graded
 and Paved.

Acting upon a numerously signed petition from owners of property on Main street the city council took ded- nite action last Thursday night, and the indications are now that the pray CTS of the petitioners will be answered and their wishes carried out-for which many thanks may be returned.
 The principal street of this growing town is finally to be transformed from a gulch and sewer-way to a graded and paved thorouGhfare. Just think of 1t. It is almost too good to be true.
 Seriously, an ordinance providing for these improvements was passed and the street committee was instructed to prepare specifications for the work, so that bids may be invited at once.
 And the sewer is to be fixed too.
 The mayor was authorized to pur- chase lot of ten-inch sewer pipe enough to replace the six-inch pipe ex- tending from point between Second and Third streets to the foot of Main and across the Southern Pacific prop erty to point below the bridge.
 Good enough. Now let the work proceed

Should Football be Abolished ?

Many teachers and professors last year decided that football should be abolished, but it isn't going to be sup pressed, forthe simple reason that there is nothing to take its place. Other games have not the vim and dash that this one has, nor do they appeal so fa- vorably to the American youth. Tn medicine the same argument can also be offered. Take Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, for instance. Search where you will, you'll find nothing to take it's place when it comes to curing dyspep- sia, costiveness, poor appetite, belch- ing, bloating, kidney troubles, vomit- ing, headache, female ills, colds or ma laria, fever and ague. Our 54 years record of cures proves our claim and fair trial will convince you beyond all doubt. We guarantee every bottle of the genuine to be Tn accordance with the pure food and drug requirements Insist on having the genuine.

Territorial Fair.

The Arizona Teachers Association will meet in Phoenix during the dates of the Territorial Fair, November II to 15 inclusive.
 Arranging the meeting of the asso- citation for these dates gives to the members an opportunity of securing advantageous rates on the railroads which have been put into effect for those who attend the fair and which in no case will be greater than one- half fare and in many instances even less.
 At the same time those who attend the meetings of the association may, if they so desire, view the educational display at the fair which will be an ex- ceptionally attractive and instructive exhibit.
 The management of the fair wish to call the attention of all persons who are in- terested in mines and who intend to make display of their ores, to the necessity of making early shipments. All ores for this exhibit should be carefully boxed and marked SO they can be identified on arrival.
 All shipments should reach Phoenix not later than November 1st, so that that they can be classified and installed. So every one intending to send ores is urged to do so at once.
 Yours respectfully,
 George E. Truman,
 Secretary.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an Iniamed con- dition of the Eustachian tube. When this tube is infamed you have rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by Ca tarrh that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

CONVICT SUICIDES.
John Smith Prefers Death to Serving
 Another Prison Sentence.

When the name of John Smith wa called in court Monday morning fol sentence a piece of grewsome humol was perpetrated in the name of the law, as all present knew that Johr Smith was dead, and therefore beyond the jurisdiction of earthly courts, and could not be present, even had he SC desired. Evidently John had no con suming desire to be there for he hung himself Saturday night.
 smith plead guilty last week to hay ing assaulted D. E. Ellsworth, another convict, and was cited to appear in court for sentence Monday. He was returned to the incorrigible cell at he prison and was then noticebly despond- ent. Sometime Saturday night he hanged himself with the sheet that was on his cot and Sunday morning his lifeless tody was fCuud.
 John Smith was sent up from Pima county for burglary and this sentence would have expired February 15, 1908, but John went in4o the expiring busi- ness himself, and it was all off with the sentence.
 The assault on his fellow convict was committed last August and was a most brutal one. He struck Ellsworth on the head several times with heavy file, fracturing his skull, and he is still confined in the hospital from the inju- ries inflicted. Smith evidently pre- ferred death to suffering the penalty for this crime, and so took the short cut for eternity.
 John Smith was a single man, 45 years old and Scotchman. He had been sailor and had travelled all over the world. When he entered the pris- on, like many others who find their way there, he was an opium "fend" and this habit may have helped him there by subverting his moral nature and melting to crime.
