A CONSTANT ANNOYANCE

Half the nervousness. half the irri- ability that is so common in every day life, is really sickness, and in most cases a condition that accompanies kidney trouble.
 It is the work Of the kidneys to keep the blood free from uric acid and other poisons, but when the kidneys are sick and not doing their duty. the uric acid poison permeates the body and attacks body, brain and nerves. The irrita- tion causes nervousness, durability, headache. dizzy spells; makes you lan- guid, unfit for work and inclined to worry over trifles. Besides, there is nothing Imore annoying than a bad back, and backache is the most com mon sign of kidney trouble. You feel lame and tired in the morning. suffer day and night with q dull aching in the back, and it hurts to stoop or bend or lift.
 Keep your temper cool and get the kidneys well. No person can feel cheerful and healthy if the kidneys are the least bit affected. A few doses of Deans Kidney Pills, taken in the be- ginning. will set the kidneys right.
 Continued treatment cures cases Of long standing.

AND HE WAS NAMED "ESTELLE"
A Bit of Dialogue From an Excruciat-
 ingIy Funny "Lion" Story.

Here is a passage from q really hu- morous story. "Estelle." by Porter Emerson Browne. in the April New Broadway. It's just an excerpt with one of the many laughs:
 "Byme-bye about seven o'clock. the members of the company shows up. of course the First thing they does is to beat it over to the lions cage. And there they stands. sizing up his nObs, who is sleeping as peaceful as hobo on a park bench who knows the cop on the beat IS in saloon.
 'Ain't she a beauty" says lhe lead- ing lady. whose knowledge of zoology seems to be somewhat superficial. What !s her name?
 "I don't know says l. The guys that brought her over here calls her q lot of things: but none don't seem to be exactly what you might term cog nOmen.'
 Then says the leading lady. eX- citedly. I shall name her after myself. She shall be called Estelle; and l shall buy her q gold collar.
 "A set of false teeth would be a far more useful present, I says. But l am interrupted by a chorus of en- thusastic but bashful ladies. all who thinks are own name is the best and wants to name the lion after herself. I've always found that ladies are very careless students of natooral history.
 They're having row which would wake up anything but that lion when the manager comes in. He is kind of soft on the leading lady. So when she promulgates her decision to name the lion Estelle. he sees a chance tO make himself solid without it costing him d cent ;so he merely grins and an nounces that hereafter the lion is named Estelle. And that settles it. He's Estelle."

 Dr. Howard Crosby.
 Prohibition throws wide open the flood gates or vice An imperative law is no law at all. There is the unlicensed vice which feels its temporary freedom and is prepared to make the most of il. Is prohibition imperative? The statistics show that it is. There is no prohibition in Maine. There never was in any state which adopted it. The main effects of prohibition. where tried, are poor liquor, large prices for it, an increase of the inmates of lunatic asy- lums. poverty for the farmer and a sys tenn of semi-thievery. and deliberate falsehood on the part of the inhab- itants and transients. which units them for prayer and church-gOing"
 Rev. M. J. Savage.

Is Spain above the moral level of the rest of Europe? And vet it is almost a model land in the matter Of temper ance.

 'Tc retain a law in ink which is tramped in the mire in society is to unwittingly aid in belittling all law. State laws, whether statutory or con stitutional. are tied together: when one is disrespected all suffer When the prohibitory law is dragged down laws against arson. theft and murder come with it. Gangrene in one limb effects all limbs. Nothing is accomplished by abusing people who do not see through your eyes. There is no persuasion in venomous exhibits. There is no logic in club.

PROJECTED RAILROAD


 erable live interest is being taken by our local board of trade. including citizens in general over the possibility of railroad from Flagstaff to Je- rome. says the Coconino Sun. A sur Vey was made a couple of years ago and a good route secured down over the rim but for some reason the pro- iect was dropped for q time. The pro- ject originally was fathered by Sen ator Clark. but later others became interested in it. and from present indi- cations the road will be built. either with or without the assistance of Sen ator Clark. The proposed road is q splendid proposition and would un- doubtedly pay from the time the first train run over it. As an independent line it would open up the great tim Der belt to the north, as well as mak- ing market for the produce of the Verde valley. It would mean thOus- ands of dollars annually to the stock men of the valley as their stock could be marketed direct without long drives and delivered fat on the market.

Rev. Dr.. Erierson.


 To the question. Have ministers of the Gospel and their churches any right te advocate prohibition?' the Rev. Dr. D. r. Frierson says in the Christian Observer: w hen he (the minister) breaches prohibition he forsakes his legitimate weapons and ruins his own cause. He destroys that perfectly free option to which he must make his ap- peal He puts himself and his minis try in the absurd position of appealing to the moral nature at the moment that heN is advocating compulsion. Why should he persuade at all if he can get law to compelT
 Rev. Philips Brooks.
 Law without obedience is but d dead letter.
 Cardinal Gibbons.
 ''I have never been able to convince myself that what We call total abstl- hence is essential to morality. The moderate and occasional use of alco- holic liquors is not to be condemned. In countries like France and Italy, where the people as d rule. drink wine, no serious harm results from the 1rac- tice. Even in Rome-eVen at the Nati- can-wine is not prohibited, and, as we know. the papal doctors themselves prescribe it for His Holiness.
 Then. again. l long since came to understand that, putting aside tho point of principle, it was virtually impossi- ble to enforce d total abstinence law in a large community or in a state. Look at Maine, as an instance. and you will see how true this is. The attempt to enforce such a law must consequently lead to one of the worst things-illegal- ity or hypocrisy; possibly to both"
 Bishop Whitaker.
 Tn 1881 the American Church Tenn perance Society was tablished. Its broad and scriptural basis was laid down as d union on perfectly equal terms between those who totally ab- stain from intoxicating liquors as bev- erages. The true meaning of the word temperance has become dwarfed and narrowed from Christian self-crntrol 10 that of total abstinence from intOX- icating liquors We laid down and. amid some obIoquy. have asserted the inherent right to every man to temper atelv use or totally abstain from such dr GKs.'

Among them he states that the Sun will be nominally republican in politics but the editor reserves the right to do at least part of his own thinking. He says also that il k his purpose to make the sun shine all over northern Arizona and that with a few more kil owats of heat. He also says he will move along with the demand, or even anticipateit. when Flagstaff needs a larger or a more frequent paper, which may be construed as a threat that it is not impossible that the Sun may sometime become a daily.

we desire to discountenance the lan- guage which condemns the use of wine as wrong in itself, independently of it's effects on ourselves or on others, and We have expressed our disapprovaI of a reported practice of substituting some other liquid in the celebration of Holy Communion"
 Rt. Rev. j. L. Spauldins, Bishop of
 Peoria.
 There is law of human nature that excessive pressure brought to bear on any special form of moral evil re- suits in other evils; and now, when various influences are diminishing in temperance in America. there seems to be no sufficient reason for calling upon the state to prohibit the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors. The less we bring the government into our pri- vate. personal and domestic affairs, the freer and happier We shall be-

 With the politics of the question I have nothing to do. Regarding the ethics of the question I am constrained to say that many false principles. and not little fanaticism, have character ized the movement. l am in favor of total abstinence for all persons who de- sire or need it. l favor high license, and every means consistent with true principles and due respect for indi- yidual liberty, to promote the practice of temperance"

A GRAVE SITUATION.

1t may as well be understood now,
as later, that the Irving avenue mat.
ter, in all its bearings, is far graver
incident than seems to be realized at
the city hall and that the tentative
settlement of the money-end of the
affair does not, by any means, relieve
the council of its broad responsibility
in the ugly premise. The substantial,
essential, and only fact that has de-
veloped is that $4,000 (out of S23,-
000) has been paid out upon con-
tract unfulflled on the part of the
contractor (who is, in sense, not
blameable), and which is now appar-
emily, deliberately vitiated, by the
council itself, by actual abrogation,
though it is left in empirical shape at
this time, for anticipated resumption
a year hence; a presumption at once
gratuitous and, perhaps, untenable.
The. conditions of peril to life, limb
and property set up by the natural
subsidence of the earth at Eighteenth
street do not seem to have sunk into
the consciousness of the majority of
the councilmen, nor the certainty OF
the legal accounting the city must
make for what shall happen in this
direction; nor does the possible legal
cancellation of the warrants already
issued in this behalf seem to have en-
tered the minds Of any engaged in the
transaction, save those of few OF
the most prominent of the taxpayers
interested, who are quite alive to all
the merits and demerits of the case.
The attempt to extract any vivid
humor from this threatening and
compromising entanglement, such as
was undertaken at the thirty minute
session of the council on Thursday
evening, when $4,000 worth OF public
business was transacted with almost
flippant unconcern, will not be admit
ted anywhere by anyone, as becom-
ing expression of official responsible
ity or dignity Nor will the conclu-
sion, that the services of an expert
geologist and engineer might be un-
duly high, serve with any weight
against the loss of a single priceless
life that may sacrificed at any critical
phase of the abnormal situation now
prevailing. The whole affair demands
deeper and more thoughtful consider
alton than has been given it to date;
line of treatment that may be
safely extended to all future projects
of the kind in this city.

FILTH.

Beware of filth wherever you find
it. 1t is the natural channel for the
introduction Of every conceivable
pest and pestilence and the nourishing
ground of the evil germ. In the
home, on the street and the highway,
at the point of assemblage, use and
contact, and on the very person, it
must be unlinchingly fought and
kept at minimum everlastingly;
nothing less will do, and what the
private spirit and sense Of decency
refuses to do, and repudiates, the pub
lie power must achieve with all the
weight the plea of human safety can
warrant and apply.
We do not care to what lengths the
health authorities, municipal, state or
federal, may go in this connection;
mere personal inconvenience, and
even rational costs, are as shadows
when measured by the incalculable
benefits of immunity and general
safety. Good cess to the physician
who uncovers and makes public the
shameful and dangerous sore-spots of
indecency and neglect and human
hoggishness. This paper, for one, will
be found squarely behind him or any
other citizen SO minded and devoted.
