INSTANT RELIEF FROM ITCH
The Itch Gone, the Skin Soothed and
 Refreshed-lmmediate

Instant Relief from that itch.
 A few drops of a soothing liquid
 And the itch is gone as if by magic
 Can you imagine how it will feel that itching agony swept away in a moment? Just 9 drop or two on the skin and no more of that torturing, endless, nerve racking itch.
 You can know the relief if you just try the simple remedy-simplest of eX- ternal liquid remedies-oil of winter green as compounded in D. D. D. Pre- scription.
 We positively know that it alleviates the itch immediately-we vouch for this and guarantee it-for we have seen it used in too many cases: and the cures that follow, as far as we know. are permanent.

WORK ON MAHoNEY BUILDING

The carpenters were engaged yester- day in putting up the stamped steel ceiling in the Mahoney building next door to EverybOdy's Drug store.
 Work on the structure has been de- layed somewhat on account of the building materials failing to arrive as soon as they were needed. However since they have come in, every thing has been going forward quite satisfac- tory and the workmen are now ready for the large plate glass for the front which is expected daily and the new building will soon be ready for occu- pancy.

MESA'S REPRESENTATION
 AT TERRITORIAL FAIR
Other Additions to be Made to the Exhibit from This Section.

That Mesa will have representative exhibit at the coming territorial fair now seems certain. Applications for entry are being received daily by Com missioner J. G. Spangler. Among the latest being that of Wallace Macdonald who intends to exhibit his entire herd of thoroughbred Ayrshire cattle, and that of Wm. Ross. who intends to make a fine exhibit of poultry. It will be re- membered that MT. Ross carried off several first and some of the special prizes. awarded for poultry at the fair last year, and it goes without saying that he expects to return to Mesa this year with many blue ribbons.

Hans Won Bulow, the famous leader
and composer, was one of the most &c
centric members of a profession where
in eccentricity is common. 1t is re-
lated that one day, while walking the
streets of Vienna, Bulow came upon a
regimental band on its way to the cas-
tie. Immediately he ran to the midd e
of the street and joined the small boys
about the drummer. Following the
band, he kept bowling to the surprised
drummer, applauding him at almost
every beat

A Curious Grace.

The most curious form, or, rather,
expression, of grace after meat which
have ever come across was that custom
airy at Clifford's inn. one of the van
ished inns OF chancery. The society
consisted Of two distinct bodies. the
principal and rules and the Kentish
mess, each body having its own table.
At the conclusion of the dinner the
chairman OF the Kentish mess, first
bowling to the principal OF the inn, took
from the hands OF the servitor some
small rolls or loaves OF bread and, with
out saying a word. dashed them sew
eral times on the table, after which
they were taken away. Solemn silence
relieved only by the thumps prevailed
during this curious substitute for a
verbal grace.-Cor. London Chronicle.

ONLY a WORKING GIRL.

She's only working girl, busy each day
In gaining her portion of bread;
Her mother is old and infirm, so they say,
Her father, they tell me, is dead.
And there, at her window, / see her en-
ployed-
1 glance at her morning and night,
And think that without her the earth
would be void
OF much of its beauty and light.
She's only working girl, seeking to send
A brother through college, l hear;
May the angels her deeds of devotion
befriend
And crown her endeavor with cheer.
More strength in her hands and more
warmth to her heart!
May the clouds never darken her sun,
And duty and beauty, in loves magic art,
Forever be welded as one.
She is only working girl. Chance has
decreed
She must dwell with the lowiy of
earth;
And yet she is rarer in thought and in
deed
Than the queenliest princess of earth
And l would she might know that her
beautiful life,
Though Swallowed with want and with
care,
Has been, in the midst of my toll and
my strife,
A hope and a song and a prayer.

Edison Cement House Report.

in day at small cost. has been describ-
ed, has now been made by two experts,
whose reports appear in the March num-
Der of the Cement Age. The inventor of
this magic house plan, Thomas A. Edison,
was put through rigid examination by
the experts-E. s. Larned, chairman of
the tests committee of the National AS
ISOLATION of Cement Users. and Percy Fl
Wilson, secretary of the Association OF
Portland Cement Manufacturers. both
civil engineers of high standing Edison
explained to them his method of over
coming the settling of che poured cement
in his complete house molds, which is by
adding ccloids (clay) and eleetro,ytes to
the mass of concrete, which give the uni
form flow desired and prevent segrega-
ton of the gravel Mr.. Larned is skep-
teal about the effectiveness of these
methods after the cement comes to
standstill. Edison's mixture is one part

or gravel. through half-inch sieve. The
steel re-inforcements will be put in place
when the molds are set up. Larned adj

and their estimated cost is $4,000 Edi-
son says these can be erected in two
days Both the investigators doubt that
the proposed houses can be built in the
time stated by Edison. Mr.. Wilson finds
that Edison has not yet proved that the
added clay will not delay the hardening
of the mass. and cannot be certain that
the stone will not flow uniformly.

NIGHT RIDERS FACE JUSTICE.
Scores of Kentucky Outlaws in Jail
Awaiting Trial.

ANYTHING LIldl.
The night riders of Kentucky have
passed the seed time now they are
reaping the harvest Scores of them
are now face to face with the machin-
cry of the law and can escape only by
paying heavy fines or serving long
terms in prison.
Singularly enough, the worst of the
night riding took place in that part of
Kentucky where there was the least
provocation for tin the southwestern
counties. The severity of the struggle
for living prices for tobacco fell upon
the farmers of the hurley district. and
in this territory there were night rid
ing and coercion, with some destruction
of tobacco beds and some barn burn
ing, but it was outside the hurley dis
trict that night riding became nothing
more than destructive forays by brutal
men bent on whipping, burning and
even murder.
Galloway County was one of the
worst affected. Outrages were numer-
Gus and anarchy speedily would have
mounted the throne and governed with
her chaos-creating scepter, had IT not
been for Judge Wells and a few men
like him. Gradually he accumulated
evidence; gradually he secured confess
sions. Then came indictments and ar
rests and a revelation of the whole
scheme of outlawry. The result is
that scores of men are under arrest and
the cells of the county Jail are jammed
with men awaiting trial

were to have been REINFORCED BY go

that a raid was TO have been made
which would have left Murray in
ashes.
On the night before the contemplated

gang held meeting and decided that
it would be better to defer their as
