PERFORMANCE.

The value of performance should not be overlooked. It is worth while it gives a sense of security, to be in formed of the infinite care exercised by the Radio-Chemic physicians. You know, if you have an ailment they will use their utmost endeavor and skill to cure you. In the matter of performance there is abundant proof they have cured uncounted numbers of patients, whose afflictions disap- peared never to return. When phy- sicians accomplish large number of cures they establish a reputation for reliability. This is true of the Ra- dio-Chemic physicians, for their ec- ord is the fruit of performance. The most emphatic testimony of cured pa- tients has evoked verdict in favor of the treatments and remedies of the X-Ray doctors. They have broken the record for success in medical practice, and are the leaders of all specialists. They give free X-Ray examinations this week.

FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1907.

It is said that changes in the de- signs on our coins are contemplated at Washington with view to inn proving them as creations of art. Of course the face value of the piece of gold or silver is of more account than any sentiment portrayed by the design upon it. Yet the question of having the design artistic at the ex- pense of everything else is one tc think about. A national coin should bring before the eye unmis- takable national symbols. For merly coins bore the face of the ruler of the state or nation issuing them Conquerors compelled vassal states to use money bearing stamps which symbolized defeat and dependence, If they refused to handle it in local exchange, they were forced to bring it to the capital to pay tribute. An cient history is studied by aid of the stamp on coins found in ruins. Our eagle, our stars, our notices, are distinctive and epoch marking sym bols; so, too, the head of Columbia, but a goddess at once typical, fla miliar and artistic is a puzzler for the coin artists.

Washington census estimates con- pute the increase of population in the United States proper at nearly $. S.000,0OO in the seven years from 1900 to 1906. inclusive. The growth in one year, 1905-06, was 1867. 900. Taking the seven years together, the increase was only about 2.OOO.- 900 greater than our gain by immi- grafton for the period. We lose some by emigration and by the return of foreign born subjects to their native land. But the increase of popula- tion is not encouraging from a na- tional point of view. But for new importation the population would
 stand still. One noteworthy fact disclosed by the computations for the past seven years is the marked in- crease in cities. In the incorporated cities. including places of 5000 in- habitants and upward. the increase from 1900 to 1906 was nearly Is per cent. while in the territory excluding the cities the growth was less than 2 per cent. or course the cities re- eeiyed the bulk of the immigration and perhaps retained for count in 1906 the bulk of the foreigners re- ceived since 1900. But over two thirds of the total population is out side of cities. where we are led to believe the simple life is conducive to a healthy birth rate. It is a fact. though. that the birth rate in cities outside of the immigrant class is good. The suburbs are alive with robust children City schools are crowded with children. not alone in eongested districts. but in the su- burbzn wards. Many rural schools have fewer children than the agerage of a generation ago. Country homes with troops of children are less fre- quent than in past years taking the country through immigration of
 native Americans from citiss to

 The Tombs is not exactly an ideal summer resort, but it is probably the one where Harry K Thaw will elect to stay, because he cannot help himself. Murder has a few minor disadvantages even if you do have money to burn.-New Britain Her aid.
 Lieutenant Governor Chanler is right in saying that the utilities con- mission ought to be non-partisan. That need not mean that part of the members shall be democrats and part republicans, but that they shall be so capable and deserving of confi- dence that no one will care how they vote.-New York World.
 The destruction of the tobacco beds and plants by the night riders in Kentucky and Tennessee is as ma- licious and indefensible perform ance as has recently taken place in this country. The systematic raids. almost devilish in their spiteful and Irevengeful qualities, have already in- flicted hundreds of thousands of dol lars worth of damage.-Hartford Times.
 Manchuria has been formally re- turned to Chinese rule, the limit for the withdrawal of Japanese and Rus sian troops having passed. Since the first Russian occupation Manchuria has passed through much and it is a strange turn of fate that restores it finally to China. Korea will not be so fortunate. The Japanese seal of occupation and domination is upon that country to stay.-Bridgeport Standard.
 Three Cent Tom has been reused from his dream of free trolley roads for the people by the announcement of the city council that the Cleveland Electric Railway company is losing money at cut rates.

"The publicity which is given to railway accidents by the press and by the Interstate commerce commis- sion is the cause of much bitter ar raignment of railway homogeneous, but is of little benefit to the public, to the railway managers or to the railway employees, says an exchange. Might not a different kind of pub licity make for the great benefit of all of these parties? As it is now, the principal facts which reach the public are that so many persons were killed and so many were injured in a certain period. The attention of the public is not directed to the per- sons who are primarily responsible for these fatalities and injuries, and its resentment is visited upon the management, even when every pre- caution that human foresight could devise has been taken. Take. for ex- ample, a recent accident wherein at least twenty persons were killed and nearly one hundred others were more or less injured. Here, on a piece of straight, level track, in broad daylight, the engineer of the wreck ed train ran into an open switch when observation of the target would have shown him that the switch was set against his train. Moreover, the engineer was running at high speed through a yard, in violation of the general rules and also of special bulletin recently issued. The switch itself was left open by a switching crew. in violation of the general rule that all main line switches must be kept closed. On this line surprise checking as means of educating train men in the observance of sig nals has been practiced for over five years.

---O----- ARIZONA BEATS NEVADA.

Nevada is not in 1t with Arizona as mining country" said S. NJ. Wa terman, who returned 10 Prescott re gently from a nine months stay in the sage brush state, to a Journal Miner man.
 Tt is true there are some very good mines there" he said, but there is an enormous number of wildcat propositions being fioated that will never pay a cent to the investors. Prospects here are far ahead of Ne vada, but there appears to be a stream of eastern gold pouring in there to invest in properties that would not be considered good enough to do location work on in Arizona.
 'I spent much of my time in the Lee and Rhyolite districts, in which some very promising prospects are being opened as well as some claims that have absolutely no merit. Liv- ing conditions there are not desirable by any means. Water has to be hauled fifteen miles and costs $5 a barrel and no timber or grass grows there.
 q am satisfied with Arizona and have no desire to go away to other states again in search of mines with the mineral possibilities of this ter ritory so promising"

He stated that all of the business people seemed to be enthu- siastic over the outlook, and were only waiting for the fall, when the cool weather will set in. and those now at the coast will return home He stated that Tucson. and other cities along the line, also seemed to be enjoying increased prosperity.

THOUGHT HE WAS
 BEING KIDNAPPED
This Time It Occurred In the Diseased Mind of a Co.,
 ChiSe ProSpector.

Fighting, kicking biting and CUTS ing, John Cummings. a Cocn:se pros pector, 53 years old, w<s taken 70 the territorial insane asylum from Tombstone by Sheriff Jack White.
 Cummings made a desperate fight while the train stood at the Tucson depot to make his escape, calling out that he was being kidnapped and beg ging all within reach of his voice to come to his rescue and help him re- gain his liberty.
 To keep his charge under control it was necessary for Sheriff White to put him in straight jacket and keep him there until he reached the asylum, where Cummings was landed inside a padded cell before he was released from the jacket.
 When he started from Tombstone Sheriff White put the insane man in the straight jacket, but released him when he reached Benson Cummings became violent after the jacket was taken of and had to be bound again.
 Just. before reaching Tucson, Cum mings worked one of his arms loose and started to fight Sheriff White had to exert all his strength to get him bound again, after which time he watched him closely to see that he did not work loose again.
 Cummings was arrested at Para disc, and when taken to Tombstone 1t took six men to put him in a cell. He cursed all who were near him, shouting ont that they were trying to kidnap him and take him into Mex. CO
