THE LAST GUN FIRED
 IN MESA PRECINCT
The Campaign Closed Last Night Witt Democratic Rally.

The last political gun has been fired the last conclusive argument hammer ed home by the political aspirant and orator. The county campaign closed here last evening with the democratic rally at the Mesa opera house. The present campaign so far as Mesa City is concerned has much resembled the safe and sane" fourth of July cele- lrations There has been no wild dis play of red fire, no startling pryo- technics but the outlook for the candidates upon the republican ticket looks exceptionally bright. The field workers of both the big parties have been dnigent. A number of wa gers have been made among the voters here However the foregoing are all things of the past and the destinies of the different nominees of both parties now lie in the hands of the voters.
 Both parties have made arrange ments to provide an ample number of conveyances to take voters to the polls. and the vote on both sides ought to be heavy. The population of this district has greatly increased. during the past year and many votes both republican and democratic have been added to the big register as a con- sequence.

 Mi-o-na cures dyspepsia. There isn't a particle of doubt about it; and if any of the readers of the Repub- lican are suffering from stomach trouble of any kind, the Larsen Drug, company win sell you a box of Mi-o-na for 50 cents with an abso- lute guarantee of relief, or money back In many cases one box will, effect a permanent cure; in chronic conditions more is necessary. But one thing is certain: one box of Mi-o-na will make you feel so much better and brighter, so much more energetic, that you will not give it up till cured.
 Mi-o-na is not a digester. Digest CTS never cured dyspepsia, and never will. Mi-o-na is a stomach strength . ener that builds up the worn out. flabby inside of the stomach, and makes the stomach strong enough to perfectly digest what you eat.

THIS TIME THEY KNEW IT WAS
 LOADED.
But They Didn't Think It Wens Off, It Was the New "NoiseIess Gun"

Maxim was showing his gun recent ly to a group of skeptics. A pile of city directories was stacked up against the wall He aimed the gun and pulled the trigger. Well. why didn't it go off" asked one of the sSeptics. Look at the directories" was the reply of the inventor. Two of them had been pierced. Now, if you will stop to consider the possibilities of a weapon of this sort, you will have food for thought for some time.
 A few weeks later an army board tested the silent rifle at Springfield, Massachusetts. Mir. Maxim in an au- tomobile circled the rifle butts, dis charging his gun at various points. In not one single case could the board agree when the shots came. And even at the distance of 250 yards they could judge the direction only from a guess based on the whirr of the bull leti

BEET GROWERS MEET
 AND WILL GET BUSY
Charles Watsrhouse Appointed Field Manager For the Tempe District.

The meeting of the sugar beet grow CTS of this section held at the Good win opera house yesterday afternoon was largely attended by ranchers and others who are interested in the for warding of the movement. The meet ing was addressed by C. H. Water house and c. M. Mullen who were sent by the people of the south side to make an investigation of the cOndi- tions among beet growers in Colorado and Kansas. R. P. Davie, president and general manager of the Southwestern Sugar and Land company and L. K. MumfOrd of Mesa
 Messrs Warehouse and Mullen told Of things as they had found them in various points in Colorado and Kan sas In those sections where beets were being grown and sugar was be- ing made by MT Davie and his asso- ciates were in every instance all that could be desired. The farmers were making good. land values had more than doubled and every one was pros- porous The gentlemen took particu- lar pains to investigate the standing of the sugar company in financial way and were assured on all sides that she company was perfectly reliable and sound in every respect It would be possible to relate at length just what these gentlemen learned there. but space forbids. To sum it up, they came back convinced that the business was a grand success in that section under conditions that are not nearly so favorable as they are here
 MT. Mumford related his experience in Rocky Ford. Colo, where he for merly lived. in growing beets. He made a success of it and is certain that it caE be made highly profitable business in this section.
 MT. Dlvie spoke briefly telling that the general estimate of putting in crop of beets was S20 per acre. but that not more than half this amount would be required until. returns were coming in from the harvest.
 MT. Warehouse was treated to a pleasant surprise at the close of the meeting. MT. Davie asked him to ac- cept a position as field manager for the Tempe district; not on the strength of his report but merely be- cause he saw in MT. Warehouse a
 
 is capable of doing the work. It was with some hesitation that Mir. Water house accepted, in view of his having been sent as a representative from this district, but he was finally per suaded to do so and goes to work this morning. Contracts may be signed up with him and any additional informa- ton secured.
 That the Tempe farmers are going to take hold of the business is evil dent from the fact that over two hun dred acres were signed up yesterday. MT. Dayie wishes to secure thousand acres in Tempe and as much in Mesa if possible and has agreed to con- struct dump for the convenience of the farmers if as little as 500 acres is signed up.

WORLDS FAIR MINE AGAIN
 IN THE SUPREME COURT
This Time the Appeal Comes From the Other Side.

Another phase of the Worlds Fair mine suit was presented in supreme court on Saturday in the filing of the appeal of the Worlds Fair Mining com pany against Frank Powers and Jose- phine Powers. An appeal in the same litigation was filed last week in which Powers and his wife were the appel lants in a suit against the London and Glasgow Mining company.
 The present suit was an action for damages of s1S5,O0O. The appellants had been assigned contract between the appellees and Ray Ferguson by which the latter undertook to work and pay for the famous Worlds Fair mine in the Harshaw mining district, the ap- pellees to receive from the receipts for ores all above SIP a ton and the cost of reducing.
 After a while the appellees put in a claim for $15,000. They secured a temporary injunction against the re- and garnisheed everything in sight be- longing to the appellant. The injunc- ton was finally dissolved and the gar nishments were released, but after that, it is alleged, the appellees by force and arms drove the agents of the ap- pellant off the ground and refused to let them come back.
 The appellant alleges that it put ma chinery of the value of s35, ,000 on the property and that it has been deprived of the opportunity of having made s150,000 from the deal.
