Home Made Treatment to Overcome
Rheumatism.

When an eminent authority an
nounced in the Scranton (Pa)
Times that he had found a new
way to treat that dread American
disease Rheumatism, with just
common, everyday drugs found in
any drug store, the physicians
were slow indeed to attach much
importance to his claims. This
was only a few months ago. To-
day nearly every newspaper in the
country, even the metropolitan
dailies, is announcing it and the
splendid results achieved. It is so
simple that any one can prepare it
at home at small cost. It is made
up as follows: Gel from any good
prescription pharmacy Fluid Elk
tract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla,
three ounces. Mix by shaking in
a bottle and take in teaspoonful
doses after each meal and at bed
time. These are all simple ingre-
dents, making an absolutely
harmless home remedy at little
cost.
Rheumatism, as every one knows
is a symptom Of deranged kidneys.
1t is a condition produced by the
failure Of the kidneys to properly
filter or strain from the blood the
uric acid and other matter which,
if not eradicated, either in the
urine or through the skin pores,
remains in the blood, decomposes
and forms about the joints and
muscles, causing the untold suffer-
ing and deformity Of rheumatism,
This prescription is said to be a
splendid healing, cleansing and
invigorating tonic to the kidneys,
and gives almost immediate relief
in all forms Of bladder and urinary
troubles and backache. He also
warns people in a leading New
York paper against the discrimi-
nate use Of patent medicine.

Miner Sheppard
 Not to Be Extradited

At the conclusion of the hearing of the application for extradition at Phoenix Of J. L. sheppard, the Sonora mining man arrested few days ago, upon a warrant issued in the state of Ohio, extrsdition was denied by Gov ernor Kibbey.
 The case has attracted widespread attention owing to the prominence of Sheppard, who is well known in Ari- zona. He has been mining in Sonora for the past two or three years
 As has been mentioned, he vas ar- rested at Nogsles last week on a charge of obtaining money under false pre- tense, the warrant being telegraphed here from the state of Ohio
 The extrsdition was denied on the ground that the warrant was defec- give.
 Sheppard will return to Ohio of his own accord in a few days, it is stated, and will there push the criminal pro- ceedings instituted by him against the other stockholders of the Rialito Mining company and who were re- sponsihle for his arrest.

Legality of Sale
 Being Questioned

Whether or not the sale of the bank
 rupt stock of Foo Kee to F. N. Vol
 colt under bid of $1, 600 was legal is a point that was argued before Judge
 Doan yesterday. Messrs. Pickett &
 Bowman appearing for several cred itors, among whom is Stein seld < Co.,, the largest creditors, claim a ten-dsy notice is required by the trustee before a sale can be made, and the referee in bankruptcy erred in certifying to the of the proceedings. Messrs Cunningham and Gilmore for the other side contended that the sale was for over 75 per cent of the appraise. ment and the trustee was empowered 10 accept the same without notice. The matter was taken under advise nent by the court. The price paid is admitted to have been full value md an exceptionally good bid, hence he same was accepted, bat the legal 'hase has arisen, which may have . 'earing on the matter.

Mailing Notices
 To Supervisors

Chairman John Orme of the Mari posa county board of supervisors is engaged in mailing notices to the members of the boards of supervisors of the different counties of the terri tory of a meeting to be held in Phoe- nix on February II.
 Two years ago the supervisors oi the territory formed an organization during the session of the legislature for the purpose of appearing before that body to secure the enactment of such laws as they deemed to be bene- ficial to their constituents and to bring about amendments to existing laws and especially to have all laws con cerning or affecting the supervisors ir
 any way formed so that they could best be executed to the advantage o
 taxpayers
 The session will last four days.

Affidavit Filed by
 James Hoatson

Another affidavit has been filed in the case of Epes Randolph vs. The Lindsay-Greene and the Cananea Cen. trsl Company by the company in SUD- port Of their motion to set aside the service had by Sheriff White on Super. intendent Hoatson in Bisbee on tine sth Of January. while he was tempo rarily in that city. The affidavit is made by James Hoasson, the superin- tendent of the company.
 Judging from the aHidavits filed by the company so far, and the statement that others are to be filed in the case, the company intends if possible to have the service set aside in the case on the ground that the court has no jurisdiction over the company, not being in any way . resident of the ter. ritory or doing business here, or hav- ing an authorized agent in the terri tory. The case as originally filed va. principally against L. Lindsay, iron whom Randolph wishes to recover cer. tain shares of stock of the Cspanea Central Company. The case has already stirred up considerable inter. est, as 1t IS between prominent mining people, and the outcome will be satched by large number of citizens D the territory as we'll ss in Csranes.

The NightingaIes
 Are Barred

While the legislature was engaged
 in the work of reform it eliminated
 the saloon singing girl from the land. scape of this territory by passing the ONeill bill directed at her and her sisters, better and worse, who frequent places where alcoholic drinks are dis psnsed. No woman can frequent a saloon for any purpose, nor can she visit sn apartment of saloon for any purpose. She cannot visit, therefore, a wine room attached to a saloon, and it is probable that under strict con- struction of the law she cannot enter a dining conducted in connec- tion with saloon. The punishment for her being there falls not upon her, but upon the proprietor of the saloon.
 The law also rightly excludes minors rom vieiting saloons or from being employed about them in any capacity. This bill was passed without show | 'f opposition.

Our Lawmakers
 True Arizonans

There is one thing that can be said of the Twenty-iourth legislative as sembly without fear of contradiction, and that is that they are to a man Arizona boosters.
 The Phoenix Gazette says it has in- terviewed many of them, and 1t takes pleasure in noting that there is not a pessimist among them. They all be- lieve in the territory, believe that is is destined to become one O. the great. est commonwealtbs in this great union of states, and are working with the greatest Of enthusiasm to that end.
 Nc matter what may be said of the lawmakers politically, otherwise they like other loyal Arizonans, have a. ways a good word to say for their owr particular section and the territory a large. This sort of spirit, if persist ed in, will mean much to Arizona, il fact, will prove her making. It is tn bright side of the territory that shoul' be shown to the world and rot whs little Of the dark side that IS to found.

County Hospital
 Very 0vercrowded

In the Salome country, where men daily dig into the depths of the mouu- tain fastnesses in search of the pre- cious metals; where the desire for gold gives scant time for romance, comes a story of a longdistance courtship, a lucky strike, a marriage and hsppi- ne.s, and the hero of ,he little TO- nance Is none other than Captain J. w. Lind, formerly of Prescott, and we'll known in Tombstone ,s one of Arizona's prominent prospectus.
 With the Griffin brothers, Cartain Lind located the Ironwocd and Ari- zona property. some years ago. For a long while the captain, who has passed the three-score mark on lifes road, had been thinking seriously of deserting bachelordom for the-to his mind-more fascinating state of mst- rimony, but as time dragged on and the captain failed to "strike it .ich, " dreams of welded bliss seemeG slowly slipping away
 In the meantimc, through mutual acquaintance, Ceptain Lind had been introduced, by mail, to a buxum mai. den of San Jose, Cal, and by mail for four long years, proceeded to court" her, without ever once seeing his bride-to-be. Regularly their let ters passed in the mails, but as time went on and Dame Fortune failed to smile upon the captain, he wrote his sweetheart that the fstes seemed to be against them, but if he ever struck it rich" he would immediately send for her.
 And then, one day, not long ago, after the years of waiting, the dark clouds rolled away from the captains horizon, and the Iron. wood and Arizona property was bond ed to an eastern syndicate, and part sf the first payment on the bond went to pay for a telegram to the woman 1 Fho had waited SO patiently in San lose, asking her to meet him. The ong distance courtship came to an md and they were married.

The Douglas Dispatch says that be- cause he had three wives and twenty five children in Graham and Gila counties the heirs of Joseph Rogers were unable to carry A damage suit into the courts and have compromised with the Douglas Street Railway Co. for damages in the sum of $7OO. Signing the settlement in behalf of the heirs was H. c. Msggsrell.
 Joseph Rogers was an asset blyman from Graham county in a former session of the Arisona legislature. He was one of the pioneers of Graham county and c Mormon. Before the United States congress passed law against the practice of plural wives Rogers was polygamist. Two yeat' ago he W s convicted of poiygamy ir the courts ct Tombstone and va fined s2Oo.

There are forty one patients in the
 Cochise county hospital, according to
 the report filed with County Phy-
 sician Hughart with Clerk of the
 Board of Supervisors H. E. Berner, The hospital is pretty well crowded,
 fact that should engross the atten- ton Of the board of supervisors to-
 ward putting in operation the county
 poor farm. The reasons for action in
 this direction are obvious, the first
 being that the unfortunates who are compelled to accept the beneGcence of the county cannot, in the present oyercrowded condition of the hos
 pital. be accorded the treatment that is due the aged and infirm. The es- tablishment of the poor farm, with buildings more commodious than the present hospital, would conduce to the healthfulness of the inmates and in a way contribute to the msinte- nance of the institution through the produce that might accrue, such AS fresh milk and butter, vegetables, chickens, eggs, etc, luxuries that the co lYalescents are now denied through practically prohibitive market prices, made moe strenuous by 8 method of extending succcor to the poor and unfortunate. The poor farm should be put into operation as hastily as possible, that the necessity for expenditures on the present inadequate county institu- tion may be averted. It is in behalf Of humanity, first, that the PRosPEc- TOR raises voice; secondly, in the iD- terest of the tax payer. We have faith in the board of supervisors as at pres ,nt constituted, and believe that ere ong the proposed county poor farm will become a reality.
