ANTIQUE COIN IS A HUMMER
Weighs 31 Pounds and Lay Two Centu
 ries in Sunken Craft

JERSEY CITY, Oct 2S.-C. F. Eng strom, coin collector and antiquarian of this city, has in his possession one of the four largest coins in the world. The three other largest are the same size as MT. Engstrom's. It was minted in 1859, and bears the imprint of Charles X of Sweden. The coin is of bronze oblong, 26 inches long by 13 inches wide and weighs thirty-one pounds. It is stamped in the middle and at the four corners with the royal stamp of King Charles, but is otherwise as plain as a.slab of slate.
 In 1861, when Sweden was at wal with Russia, the Russians scuttled a Swedish man of war in Riga harbor In 1901 the harbor was dredged by the Russian Government and the ship raised. The four big bronze coins were aboard. Two are still in Russia and one in England. The fourth came here to MT. Engstrom on the Adr'atic. On it's face the coin was worth eight Swedish thalers in 1859. As an antique it is worth $500.

THE WALLER" STREAK
 SHOWS UP ON THE SURFACE

The Arizona JournalMi prints the following anent the recent desertion of Mark Smith of his campaign in this territory:
 So the "veteran delegate" has quit. Marcus "Aureole" Smith has aban- doned the sinking ship, the very first or the rats to go. The man who began his political fight with an arrogance that looked upon the candidacy of his opponent as joke, has run away with out shame.
 In view of the political indications throughout the territory, Smith in aban- doning Arizona and his campaign, has doubtless done the logical thing. He has seen the handwriting on the wall, read it accurately and taken the warn ing. He has decided to vast no more time upon hopeless cause. Forseeing that a few months hence he will no longer be parasite upon the govern ment, he has gone east, to court in any way possible the favor of Bryan and other democratic leaders, in order that he may be looked after in event of a democratic victory.
 Gloomy indeed must be the outlook for Smith success in Arizona if he grasps SO frantically at the unsubstan-

When you have h cold you may be sure that it has been caused indirectly by constipation and consequently you must first of all take something to move the bowels. That is what has made Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup so successful and so generally demand ed. It does not eonstipate like most of the oid.fashioned cough cures, but on the other hand it gently moves the bow els and at the same time heals irritation and allays inflammation of the throat Sold by Hanna s Drug Store and Palace Pharmacy.

tial Bryan hope, Truly the man is desparate. With every political prophet predicting the election of Taft, Smith turns from battlefield where he has won many fight to see what spoil he can pick up from the victory of another. Yet futile as seehs this eastern trip, it is logical enough, logical as it is cold. blooded and white feathered. Smith by leaving Arizona can relieve himself of much useless hard work, place himself away from tho sting of just criticism, though we have our skepticism about this hurting him so severely, and enjoy himeslf in laz'ness at the expense of the democratic "barrel." Now and then he can deliver an address to people who do not know him, to whom he is not q thread-bare figure, a hackneyed meta phor and source of irritation. Per haps he may create some interest in those new fields, draw little attention and thereby salve his vanity made raw by the rubbing it has received in this Arizona campaign. Yes, this flight is logical.
 But somehow Arizona cannot help feeling the regret of shame at seeing one of its sons "quitting," abandoning even hopeless fight. The men she has produced have always, if they had no other virtues, the courage to stay by the colors. But after all, nothing could more ftly brand the man who sco long misrepresented the territory ia congress, than this last act of his political career. It stripes him with the yellow streak.

The assertion of Mark Smith was a confession of exposure and defeat. He left at time when his campaign was in a chaotic state. The very fact that his dates have been turned over to the Wind Swayed Pine of the CocOnino hills is in itself an acknowledgment of the hoplessness of his campaign. It will be graceful way of escaping the odium of defeat in being able to say; "Had I not been so loyal to the nation al ticket, would have been elected. v

HUNDREDS ADMIRE BABY
 GRAND PIANO SILVER BELT HAS ON EXHIBITION IN NAQUIN STORE WINDOW
Beautiful Instrument Inspires Euey One ot Contestants WHh NeD Determination
 10 Win Handsome Prize

A trihe less than 200 votes cast yes. terday.
 Now wouldn't that jar you' The supporters of two candidates | promised the Contest Editor on Wednes. day that there would be things doing the following day-Thursday. That was certainly lame steer. Nothing doing at all---except around Naquin 's--where hundreds of people rubbered at the magnificent baby grand plan, which is to be given to some for tunate young lady by the Silver Belt on Christmas morning.
 It's pippin.
 Did you see it'
 The first baby grand piano ever brought to western Arizona, and one of the best and most expensive plans ever manufactured by the great house of Vose & Sons and sold by the Rede- win Music company of Phoenix.
 It's a little jewel. If it doesn't make the young ladies work we have no idea what would ginger up their energy. No more hand some present could be conceived. Its tone, in sweetness, is that of the wood land song bird coming as clear as tho notes of the rose-hpped shell from a foreign shore. The case, made of solid mahogany. is rich, elegant in its sim. plieity.
 It is a perfect piano.
 The kind that would enrapture the master artist.
 Take a peep at it today as it rests in the beautiful improvised music room in the great NaQuin window. You re going to envy the young lady who cap lures this magnificent and elegant prize. You just can't help it, and you won t be blamed.
 There will probably be sure-enough things doing tomorrow. It will be the last day before the award of the regular weekly 5000 premium vote. That vote is well worth getting. It will be given 10 the candidate securing the greatest number of points for new subscribers. There hasn't been a very heavy turn.in this week. It will be easy picking for some one of the candidates who gets genuine move on herself. And the points will also count on the Phoenix trip. That means three days at the territorial fair at the Silver Belt B ex- pense. Any lady can go who scores l5O subscription points and it won't cost her one cent. Car fare, hotel bill, ad. mission tickets all paid. And only l5o points to secure.
 Better try for this.

HIS EXACT WORDS


 "I HAVE NOTHING IN THE WORLD AGAINST RALPH GAMER ON, BUT I WANT TO SAY THIS: HE Is ABSOLUTELY INCOMPETENT BY TRAINING AND. LIFE TO GET ON THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO DEFEND WHAT I KNOW WILL BE I'll EAS. sAULTS MADE ON THE STATE HOOD BILL AT THE NEXT OR SUC. CEEDING SESSIONS OF CON GRESS. .''-Extract from Mark Smith s Farewell
 Our attention has been called to 8 leading article in the Silver Belt yes. terday morning making an attempt to answer the pertinent inquiry as to "What has Mark Smith done in con. gress for tho people of Arizona'" This newspaper stuff is supposed to answer for the long, promised pamphlet to be issued by and with the authority of the Democratic Central Committee of the territory. This explanation is on par with those of the Kelly newspapers. The people of the territory are demand ing something of more weight than this newspaper talk. Either come out or keep quiet.
 Our democratic friends are having a bad attack of the rabies on account of some disturbance that seems to have taken place in the ranks of the inde; pendent party. Everything that occurs these days seems to have this effect on them. They See scheme in evry local nws item, and frantically jump into print with an attempt to checkmate their political opponents. Everything from disgraceful saloon row to man. slaughter has political eoloring to our democratic brethren. And there may be much more to come of the same character.
 We would again caution the voters against the campaign roorback. This is the methods of certain class of poll itic:ans who are always seeking some thing to spring at time too late to re- futed. These attempts always depend upon their success from the fact that they cannot stand any, even the slight. est inestigation, as to truth. They gen. erally react upon those who attempt such underhanded tactics
 x x #
 To bring the schools of Gila county "to the highest degree of perfection y it is only necessary to continue in the same direction as in the past two years. The demand is not for anything orna- mental in the shape of "an eminent ed ucator.'
 Now that Mark Smith has deserted them, the predatory crew which have been hanging on to his coat tails are wringing their hands and tearing their hair. November 3rd is going to put an end to the twenty years of calamity for the masses for the benefit of the Kelly classes, and usher in an era of statehood and unprecedented prosperity for all Arizona. No need of despairing, Major Kelly. The good times coming are to be so generous that if you will only behave yourself, keep your vitriolic old pen decent and get rid of the ineompe- tents who are playing havoc with your business interests by trying to do pet ty politics, the good times will smile upon you and fill your declining years with the peace and plenty which come to every man who, like Solomon, asks for an understanding heart and so gets thoroughly in tune with the never fail ing law of demand and supply.
