BICYCLE DISAPPEARS.
Fred A. Tripp Must Wall; to Desert Claim Unless He Finds His Wheel.

Fred A. Trip. who is holding down a desert claim about six miles east of Mesa was on the streets yesterday morning in search of his bicycle which he is very much afraid has been stol- en by someone who will not have to walk half as far as he does Mir Tripp uses his wheel to carry him back and forth from the desert and he has been riding it long enough so that he has little path which just fits his wheel and which makes it possible for him to ride all the way without dismounting. This is one of the req sons why he hates to give up his steed He describes his property as being a Savage special with new tries and as nothing extra as bicycle but good enough for desert riding.
 Late yesterday afternoon a wheel was found standing in front of the tel ephone office which had been there ever since Saturday night. Miss Burt vouches for the statement that the wheel has not been touched since Sun day morning. It is a Savage and fits the description of Tripp's wheel with the exception of the new tries.

TO cATARRH SUFFERERS.
Good Advice and Liberal Offer From
 a We'll Known Phoenix Druggist.

The Larson Drug Co. have been ad- vising all who suffer from any of the symptoms of catarrh. such as Offen- sive breath, dryness of the nose, pain across the eyes. stoPpage of the nose, discharges and droppings in the throat. coughing spasms and general weakness and debility, to use Hyomei. They go so far as to offer to refund the money to any user of HyOmei who is not perfectly satisfied with the re- suits.
 Quick relief follows the use of the HyOmei treatment; the stOppage of the nose is removed, the dropping ceases. the breath becomes pure and sweet. and the catarrhal germs are de- stroyed and their growth prevented.
 HyOmei is the surest, simplest. quickest, easiest and cheapest way to cure catarrh. It does not drug and derange the stomach; it goes right to the seat of the trouble, destroying the catarrhal germs and healing and vital izing the tissues.
 Go to the Larson Drug Co. today and buy a complete HyOmei outfit for $1.OO with the understanding that if it does not give satisfaction, your money will be refunded

MESA
SPLENDID RAIN YESTERDAY.
Mesa Received a Wet Precipitation With Considerable Amount of
 Thankfuness.

After several days monkey business the Mesa weather man concluded that the time was ripe for a liberal shower and he. proceeded to administer that very thing on the just and the unjust yesterday morning. So many times lately have the clouds been threatening that when the actual bona fide wet be- gan falling there were a great many people unprepared for the agreeable surprise. However, most of them were willing to make a sacrifice of a little unpleasant dampness for the sake of the rain. While the downpour was ac- ceptable it is understood that a pe- tition may be circulated to duplicate the order.
