A TORTURE TO EAT
Dyspepsia is no Longer a
Simple Difficulty

to be outgrOwn by dieting and changed
habits of life. 1t is a disease of the
most formidable type, capoble of re-
sulting most disastrously. 1t attacks
the very citadel OF existence, depriying
the organism of its proper nourish-
ment, and bringing about retrograde
changes of the most serious character.
Indeed, it is no longer an opinion, but
a clinical fact, the neglected cases of
Dyspepsia invariably result in fatal
diseases. Heart disease, Epilepsy,
Cancer and Consumption are often
directly traceable to an early origin
in the form of Dyspepsia, which
might have been cured by proper treat
ment.

1t would seem a reasonable plan to
call these monitors something in ac-

other monitors such titles as Mon

George B. Hynson of Milford,
who has a natural propensity for
stirring things, is now after the
Superintendent's of Kent and Sus-
sex Public Schools and in a recent
article in the Wilmington Sunday
Star shows what he contends to be
a very unfortunate state of circum
stances. We know nothing of the
affairs of Sussex County but in
Kent County we venture the asser-
tion that the public school system
was never in better shape than it
has been during the able and
efficient administration Of Superin-
tendent J f. Carroll. There is no
subject nearer and dearer to his
heart than education and he has
looked well to the schools of Kent
County. AS to the Summer School
of Methods he is interested in, we
see no reason for any undue dis
turbance, Prof. Carroll, with his
associates, gives of his time and
energy not so much for the small
pecuniary results derived, but that
he may help teachers to become
efficient in their line of work. 1t
is lamentable fact that some ap-
ply for schools who are not fitted
for the position and in a number of
cases Supt. Carroll has been obliged
to furnish poor substitutes because
of a lack of applicants who were
prepared to take up the work before
them. 1t is hard to employ the
summer months in study, hard for
the teachers and hard for the in
structors, but were it not for a
school Of methods of this kind
many would miss the only oppor-
tunity they have to receive the
necessary training. In most cases
teachers are not able to take a
normal school training and after
completing their course in our dis
trict OF graded schools, take up
teaching as a livelihood The
school Of methods gives them this
training they desire. Under such
circumstances we dep1ore the in
sinuation that "favoritism" en-
tiers into the issuing of certificate:
or that members of the School o
Methods would have any particular
advantage over anybody qualified
TO apply. Such charge as this i,
unbecoming so far as Kent COUNTY
IS concerned. Supt. Carroll is /;
man Of high character and probit,
and what he is doing for the caus
of education and the keeping con
tinually up of the standard of ex
cellence, is making better teacher
and better schools. Kent Count,
has every reason to be congratulate,
on having such a wide awake, con
scientious and efficient superintend
ent.

The supreme court uT Rhode Island held, in the case Of Enos ys. Rhodes Island Suburban railroad. that a rail road faeman who received as compea- saticn for his services a weekly sun of money and transportation tickets on the railroad 10 convey him to and from his work was a passenger while riding home on one of the tickets after his days work had been fully completed. The court said: "Tn the case at bar the plaintiff earned four teen tickets as well as sS per week. and the fact that the tickets were pur- chased by work instead of cash Is un- important. The fact that they were bought and not given to him is i'm portant because, such ticket paid for his passage home in the car in which he was riding at the time of the col lfsion; and the fact that his passage was so paid after his days work was fully completed made him a passen- ger after his employment had ceased for that day."-Bradstreet

SUICIDE YEAGER
 BURIED TODAY
All Hope of Locating His Rel atiyeS Abandoned; Death
 Was Very Sensational

The corpse of s. $. Yeager, the man who committed suicide on the streets of Bisbee a few weeks ago, will, un- less~the unexpected happens, be bur jed today at the expense of the coun- ty, from the undertaking parlors of Fletcher & Hennessey.
 Every reasonable effort, and it- tie more. was made to locate the rel atives of the deceased, and letters and telegranls were sent to several states and many different towns. At no point were they able to obtain the least clue to his identity. What few seeming clues were obtained proved useless after little investiga- tion, though it was learned that the deceased had lived at one time near Big Springs, Texas, and had relatives there
 It will be remembered that Yeager killed himself in a very theatrical manner, choosing a public place and attracting attention before pulling the trigger that sent a bullet through his brain. On his person were found notes stating his intention to end his life. He had been in Bisbee only a short time and was comparatively unknown.

Seneca on savaae Fortity6e.

When Seneca wrote his inspiring phi losophy our ancestors who dwclt noTth jf the Alps were savages. We may take some pride in the fact that be points to these savages as cxemplarS in fortitude for the Romans: You may see what endurance might effect in us If you observe what labor does among tribes that are naked and rendered stronger by want. Look at all the na tions that dwell beyond the Roman em pire-I mean the Germans and ali tlI. nomad tribes that war against us along the Danube. They suffer from eter2ai winter and q dismal climate. The bar ren soil grudges them sustenance. They keep off the rain with leaves or thatch they bound across frozen marshes and hunt wild beasts for food. Do you think them unhappy? There is no un- happiness in what use has made part of ones nature. By degrees men find pleasure in doing what they were first driven to do by necessity. They have no homes and no resting places save those which weariness appoints them for the day; their food, though coarse. yet must be sought with their own hands; the harshness of the climate is terrible, and their bodies are unclothed This, which you think a hardship. is the mode of life of all these races How, then, can you wonder at good men being shaken in order that they may be strengthened? No tree which the wind does not often blow against is firm and strong. for 1t is stiffened by the very act of being shaken and plants it's roots more securely. Those which grow in a sheltered valley are brittle. And so it is to the advantage of good men and causes them to be Un- dismayed that they should live much amid alarms and learn to bear with patience what is not evil save to him who endures it 1T.

Rev, Chas, Cook, After 35 Years Labor Among indians,
 Holds Reunion
(Phoenix Democrat.) ]


 When between zoo and 500 Salt River valley Indians gathered near Sacaton Thursday morning to attend monster revival services for the red man and his family. Rev. Charles H. Cook will look upon the fruits of thirty-six years missionary work among the Indians of this section.
 In 1871 Rev Cook gave up a pros porous church sn Chicago to come west and become one of the frontier preachers. Travelling westward he reached the Salt River valley. and seeing the need of religious training for the painted Indians, decided to settle here.
 Fresh from effete east. used to all the Icomforts of cSvihzation, and knowing nothing of the ways of the Indian or the rough and ready west crner, Rev. Cook began under all sorts of advantages the reformation of the bloOd-thirsty Indians.
 Gradually his influence began to be felt until when General Howard came here to take charge of the troops in the field Sto stop Indian depredations, Rev. Cook vas able to act as his interpreter
 Having gained the confidence of the Indians, Rev. COOK was several times able to prevent war between the whites and Indians. By his per suasion he often succeeded where the blue uniform and the army rifle had failed to cool the hot blood of the redskins.
 For thirty-siX years Rev. Cook has lived 1 Sacaton. He ihas trained many assistants who now look after a great deal of his work Though 6 years of age he still rides thirty miles every Sunday to look after h. dian churches in three places.
 The big revival services which be- gin Thursday morning will continue until Monday evening, and will be held at StotOnic, an Indian village seven miles west of Sacaton. Among those who will assist Rev. Cook at the services are Rev. Frank Reed. Rev. F. " Richards, Dr. c. H. Ellis and several from Phoenix. Mesa and Tempe
 On Sunday evening the Indians will peak through interpreters a5 they did recently at the Maricopa reseT- yation when religious services were attended by between 500 and 700 Pima and Maricopa Indians.
 Rev. Cook is making big prepafa- tions for the services and should he be so disposed could tell an inter- esting story of the hardships he had to contend with in early days.
 Cook was appointed Indian agent for the Sacaton reservation, and built the first church there. Since that time he has built many church. es and schools for the Indians, who hold him in high esteem.

RICH GOLD FIND.
fIeader:l


 aiorenci has been all excitement dur ing the week as a result of the rich gold find on the property of the New York-Arizona. where the miners at work on the Buzzard Shadow claim. encountered a streak of free gold which will run close to $20,00O to the ton.
 As yet there has hardly been enough work done to determine the extent of the find or the character of the deposit, whether a pocket or vein, but the indication is of sufficient note to warrant the supposition that there is more where this came from and those who are in a position to know, say that this is one of the richest strikes that has yet been made in the district in gold values.
 It has always been considered that the BuzZard Shadow was one of the best claims in that district and at various times during the history of the claim, there have been rich ship ments made, which, however. have been from pockets rather than from veins. The Porter lease which was taken out on this claim some years ago proved up some rich mineral but the lease was discontinued at it's ex- piration and the parties then owning the claid did not pursue it further
 Several large parties have been or ganized during the week to visit the new find and from each most encour- aging reports have been brought in. Work is being pushed on this as we'll as other parts of the property with most satisfactory results and thoseS who are interested in the stock of the company are congratulating them selves on their holdings. It has been rumored that the board of directors will raise the stock to 50 cents at the next directors meeting which will take place on the 18th of this month, and should the present find hold out, it will not be long before the stock will reach par.
 The work on the Thompson shaft developed new yeiR of excellent mill ing ore which is improving daily and in addition to this the Louise shaft is also carrying excellent indications of rch ore, all of which taken together has persuaded the company to make speedy arrangements for the erection of mill in the very near future.

MEscAL PARALYZES GoO.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15-MescaI put whole construction gang of 200 peons on the Les Angeles Pacific rail road out of business last night. A double force of 400 men has been lay ing a third rail on West Sixteenth street, a hurry job, and during the afternoon the pay car came along. 1t was an hour before the change of shifts, and when that time came only an irate Celtic foreman appeared. On investigation he found that every one of his CholO laborers was too intoxi- cated to take up a shovel or a pick.
 The laborers had gone in a body to the Mexican quarter for a celebration. and are still at it with the imported drink, while the company is hiring every man it can find for it's delayed rush work. Legal difficulties of all kinds have hampered the work for some time

B|SBEE LOSES ID DOUGLAS; HARD
 CONTEST
Local Boys Make Costly Er- TOTS, Which Combined With 0pportune HitSl Tell Tale of the Contest

At the Don Luis baseball park yes, terday afternoon the formerly unde. feated home team succumbed to the fast Douglas aggregation by a score of to ,. The whole story of the game is told by ragged fielding on the part of the Bisbee team and timely hitting by the Shelter City bunch. Fleharty, the new local twirler, off ciated at the slab and although he was touched up for six singles, two of them at critical times, would have won the game if his support had been anything like what it ought to be and what the team IS capable of
 In the first inning Douglas was re- tired without any damage having been done. only one man reaching first base. The home team came up and Pettigrew made first on an error. Captain Cheek made three unsuccess- ful attempts to connect With the sphere, and then Olson, the popular short stop walked to the plate. Some one in the grand stand asked him to knock a home run and the second ball pitched to him he slammed into deep right center scoring Pettigrew and making the circuit himself by a good safe margin. The crowd went wild. The next man up was Wilson and he caught the ball squarely on the nose, making the left fielder do some swift travelling to prevent him from getting home. The side, how ever, was retired without another tally.
 In the first half of the third Doug las filled the bases and Core with a clean single scored two men. Lewis connected for another safe one send ing two more .n and putting the Smel- ter City aggregation in the lead. In their half Bisbee got two men on base when Wilson drew a two-base hit, scoring both and tieing the score.
 Tn the fifth Bisbee scored another but in the seventh the local boys con tributed a few errors which in con nectiOn with a couple of singles by the visitors. netted three runs.
 Walters pitched a good game for Douglas and also received good sup port. FlehaTty struck out one more than his opponent and allowed no bases on balls. He showed all kinds of speed and Olson and Wilson both gave good account of themselves at the bat, the latter also playing a bTillint game in the field. Harper of Douglas, made good with the crowd in the middle of the game by a hard catch.
 With the record of games standing now two ties and each team victoi in one, this afterndon's game will undoubtedly be a real exhibition of the national sport. with the local boy forgetting their poor fielding of yes terday. Shaner who shut out the Shelter City bunch on their own grounds in Douglas on Wednesday will do the twirling

 The score follows:
