A Cautious Official.

It is well to be cautious, but there are times when even caution may be carried to excess. The widow a German officer went to the pen sion office for the purpose of draw ing the pension due her. She pre- sented the usual certificate of the mayor of the village in which she lived, to the effect that she was still alive.
 'This certificate is not right said the official in charge severely.
 "What is the matter with it ?" in- quired the poor widow.
 Ut bears the date of Dec. 21,'' was the stern reply, "and your pen sion was due on Dec. 15."
 "What kind of a certificate do you wish p inquired the disappointed applicant.
 "We must have a certificate stat ing that you were alive on the 18th of December" said the official, with great frmness. "Of what possible use is this one that says you were alive on the 21st of December, six days later?"

LURE OF D. .!.l VALLEY.
Wonderful Fascination Possesses Those
 Who Brave It's PeriIs.


 While gold seems to be the under lying cause of the great interest taken in Death valley, yet myste- rious fascination takes possession of all who once brave its dangers. Numberless legends have been handed down from generation to generation of strange happenings almost beyond human explanation, yet at the bottom of all runs the streak of gold, for which men daily sell their lives and oftentimes their very souls.
 Old Indian trails and signs point the way from spring to spring, tell ing whether the water is good or bad, the distance from one to the other, the passable and impossible canyons, the location of old Indian villages, etc. In order to read the signs correctly one must be familiar with their ways and customs, and even then it has become difficult on account. of changes that are con- stantly taking place through natur- al and human agencies.
 The trails are of different periods, some being much better than oth- CTS. At intervals beside the trails are monuments of stone, with 6 pointed rock showing the direction to take. Two rocks pointing in op- posite directions indicate that it is impossible. The location of metal stones is also significant. A metal stone is a fiat stone, hollowed in the center, used for grinding acorns for flour, and will be found not more than half days travel from water. Many springs known to the Indians are not down on the maps.
 The valley itself is about all that it has been painted. At times 6 man or beast would mire out of sight, and at other times the shift ing sands would almost bury him alive. Yet men live there year aft CT year without feeling that they are incurring any unusual amount of danger. They know where they may and may not go and how to prepare for emergencies.-Rhyolite Herald.

HAVOC WROUGHT BY STORM
Williams Visited By Most Severe Elec- trical storm in Recent Years Bab-
 bitt Bros. Sustain Loss by Fire.

Williams was visited last Friday the at noon. by one of the worst electrical storms ever known in this section of the country. At twelve o'clock great drops of rain began falling fast and the light ming flashed and the thunder rum bled violently. Suddenly there was blinding flash followed by a terrific peal of thunder that shook the very earth. This was followed by peal upon peal. and the rain poured in torrents, when suddenly a lurid sheet of flame shot up from Babbitt Bros. warehouse on Fifth street. The alarm soon spread and pistols were fired in all parts of the city while a Santa Fe engine shrieked an ear piercing call. The rain fell harder and several score of men and boys appeared at the scene of the confagaration.
 The first time h lightning struck it set fire to the warehouse which contained several thousand dollars worth of sewing machines. salt, sulphur and much miscellany. The building was connected with the Babbitt stable by long shed, and it was but short time until a score of willing hands. with axes ropes a n d various implements, chopped. hauled and tore away the shed in downpour of rain. The water was over shoe top deep and the streets were seething floods. The Williams chemical engine proved unavailing and but for the heavy rain the tireless efforts of the volunteers ne business part of Williams would have been wiped out.
 Babbitt Brothers were the sole loosers and the loss sustained will reach nearly $8,000, part of which is covered by insurance.
 Throughout the fighting of the fire the elements continued to com bat volley after volley of heavenly artillery hurling missaimed thun- derbolts at the earth below fright ening man and beast and unde- scriminately striking in Williams and immediate vicinity. I h e flames in their eagerness for the fray leaped skwyard only to be met by the falling torrent and quenched. The lightning struck no less than ll2 times and the scene was one new CT tobe forgotten.

$4.OO to s.9O.

Sheep reciepts were fairly good last week. and prices declined 25 to 30 cents first half of the week. but recovered half of the loss by the close. Run is 4,000 today, market stronger, top spring lambs $6.25 to- day, some Arizona spring lambs weighed 56 and 63 pounds at $5.70 and $5.75, some 102 pounds Arizona ewes at $4.25 today. There are no Utahs here today. but recent sales of Utah wethers at $4.35 and ewes at S3.90 to $4.25 furnish a line on prices. Fancy lambs might reach $6. 50. There is demand for stock and feeding stuff. but small re- ceipts of that class to fill it, prices $500 to $4.00. The market is healthy. and quickly recovers from any depression under the influence for reduced receipts.

PREDICTION FOR 1908.

Gustav Meyer in the New York World.
AS an American astrologer, I have
set up a chart for 1908, and find the
year will prove a most remarkable ard
eventful one in the history of the
United States. There will be financial
panics, bank failures, bank robberies
and labor riots and strikes in all the
trades, calamities below, on and IN
der the earth, and great loss of life
and property on and and sea, and
shipwrecks will be quite numerous.
The United States government will
experience considerable revenue trou-
BILE and much money will be spent for
munitions of war. Calamities will &C.
cur on our naval vessels on their way
to the Pacific coast, especially caused
through the carelessness of our naval
officers.
We need fear no war with Japan at
the present time nor in the future.
Japan, will, in fact, prove to be our
best friend and ally. Much trouble
will occur to our soldiers and diplomats
abroad.
Our administration will be harshly
criticised and President Roosevelt will
be subject to much SANDER and dis
credit. His life will be in jeopardy
and misfortune will befall him, and he
should guard against accident or trou-

Great failures will occur in the fl

prevail in Wall street. The postoffice

companies will do an Tor bust

be compelled to face some record
breaking obligations, and the mortal
ity of the country will be unusually
high.
A considerable number of earth
uakes. volcanic eruptions and disas

cur. Pleasures will be greatly handi-
capped and oeat ealamities will occur
in hotels and theaters, places of local
amusement and in summer resorts.

LIFE OF THE IRISH POOR.

The future historian of Ireland will
find the volume of evidence issued by
the ROYAL Commission of Congestion
in Ireland invaluable for the light they
throw on the condition of the people
at this time. Another bulky volume
was issued yesterday. this giving the
evidence taken in the Sligo and Lie
trim, an is as full as the former vol
umes are of the life stories of the
Irish poor in the congested districts.
As before, the witnesses have much
to saw of the remittances from their
relatives in America and elsewhere,
which makes existence on these lands
possible. One witness, with a wife,
child and mother, told how he took no
HOLIDAYS, worked from $50 or 7 a.
m. to 10 and II at night, and found
il a struggle to live. Other farmers of
the country had the same story to
tell.
Another witness told of the condi-
tions on the island of Innishmurry,
which is about a mile long and about
half a mile wide and had a population
of 90, all told. "The potato blight
said the witness. "and rats are un-
known, for the Atlantic does all the
spraying necessary, and poison with
salt the microbes, and | I'm sorry to
say, often the potato plant; the rat

has landed. Only in very fair wealth

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con
dition of the mncuous lining of the
eustacian tube. When this tube is
iniamed you have a rumbling sound of
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollar
sfor any case of deafness caused by
eatarrh, that cannot be cured by
