PLAN TO FIGHT DISEASE.
Druggists Will Battle Stomach Trou'
 bIes in Phoenix.

The increase of stomach troubles in Phoenix has led the Larson Drug Co. to take effective measure to combat the disease. They have the local agen- cy for Mi-o-na stomach tablets. and in order to induce people suffering with weak stomach or indigestion to use the remedy. offer to supply if with the distinct understanding that mon- ey will be refunded in every case where it does not cure.
 Mi-o-na is not a mere digestive, but an absolute strengthener and builder up of the whole digestive tract. If you suffer with headaches, giddiness. palpitation. bad taste in the mouth. nervousness. coated tongue. distress after eating use Mi-o-na and see how quickly these symptoms of a weak stomach will disappear.
 The remedy strengthens the muscu- lar walls of the stomach and increases the flow of gastric juices so that nourishment is extracted from the food and the refuse is expelled without the aid of purgative or laxative medicines,
 Remember that the Larson Drug Co. give a guarantee to refund the money unless it cures They take all the risk, and there is no danger of your losing anything except indigestion when you buy a 50-cent box of Mi-o-na.

things easy for the governor. the vis- itors also bore a letter from C. w. Goodman. superintendent of the Phoe- nix Indian school.
 The Indians represent a native set tlement near Camp Verde and came on the dual mission of paying homage to the governor for past favors and asking for advice in another matter. About a year ago this delegation called on the governor and stated that their young people were growing up in illit- eracy and they wanted a little red schoolheuse. or some other kind. that would shed the light of civilization upon the rising generation. It was the first time in Arizona or possibly anywhere else that the Indians have made such a request and it deeply i'm pressed the governor who took the matter up with the Interior depart ment. Soon after a day school was established by Superintendent Good man. on orders from Washington. and it is now being successfully conducted by bonded officer Taylor P. Gabbart-

The other matter presented was a territorial statute that seems to work a hardship on the Indian. denying him some of the white mans hunting privileges either on or off the reservation. One well known Arizona jurist some years ago expressed himself as believing the law was unconstitutional The Indians wanted to know the governors opinion and whether it would be wise, for them. under the direction of Superintendent Goodman. to specifically violate the law Tor the bringing of a test cast.

AMATEUR BURGLARS
 ARE DtfACNG SAILS
An Invasion Of the Arizona Laundry and Evans Plumbing Shop on Mon day Night.

Some amateur cracksmen are al work in Phoenix without doing any good for themselves but they are un- necessarily spelling safes or at least defacing safes. Their last raid was on ethe safe of the Arizona Laundry company some time on Monday night. The safe was badly disfigured with nitro glycerine but an entrance was not effected Nobody heard the ex- plosion and nothing was known of the attempt upon the seafe until Manager Kolberg of the laundry company came upon the scene of disorder in his of flee yesterday morning.
 The burglars had bored a small hole into the face of the safe near the com bination. filled it with nitroglycerlne and exploded it by means of a fuse and cap. When they found that noth- ing had resulted from the explosion they left without making a second at- tempt. The work seems to have been done by one man while another kept guard outside where his footprints be- tween the window of the office and the corner of the building had almost worn a path. only the tracks of the TWO men were found near the window at which an entrance was affected.
 A rag saturated with nitro gelycer- inc was found nearby and some of the explosive had been spilled on the ground. A bit and other implements which had evidently been used in the assault upon the safe were found. one of the tools bearing the stamp, U. K." IL was later found that Jack Kersting's shop had been burglarized in the night for the tools.
 Yesterday was the day when the books of the laundry company were especially needed for the making out of bills for the month. George Kirk land was sent for to complete the burglary and the books were taken out. Manager KoIberg said if the

A STRONG COMPANY
 GIVEN GREAT OVATION
The Largest Crowd Of the Season Greeted George Ade's Comedy Sue cess.

The College Widow" scored repeat edly last night at the Doris opera house. Before the show opened the house had all been sold and the sub sequent arrivals found standing room only. Many voted it the best play of the season and judging from the great ovation given almost every act and each actor it must have been. One in- eident marred the otherwise perfect success. A few minutes after the cur tain raised on the first act a fuse burned out somewhere on the line in the city, but it was repaired in very short time. Except for the gallery, which did not distinguish itself for a show of good breeding by taking ad- vantage under the cover of darkness to make a needless noise. the house was very well ordered during this in- remission.
 The play is full of subtle humor and highly ludicrous situations which kep; the audience in an uproar Some of the life was taken out of the first act by the accident. but from that on the company kept the whirlwind of fun and events on the jump. The second act was one laughable and farcial piece of work from the beginning to the end. The company scored tre- mendously again the third scene. de- scriptive of the annual football game between Atwater and Bingham col leges. The scene compared to the boat race in Brown of Harvard was far superior. As in that show the great contest being waged could not be seen but the staging of the other important events incident to the game and the general color of reality added by the roofing the story of progress 10 victory and the different mental attitudes along with the physical. which were assumed by different individuals from the "Prexy'' down to the tutor, left little for the imagination of the assem-

 As indicated before, there will be five harness events each of which is expected to be interesting and one or two of the races are looked forward to as nice speed events for any occa- sion. The other sports will consist of a cowboy relay race. flag picking ex- Iibition and an exhibition of fancy roping by Harry Knight who don't have to take his hat off to anybody who swings a riata. There may be an automobile race on the big track also but that feature depends somewhat on the lateness of the hour when the rest of the program is finished.
