MRS. $. E. BURIIS Is
 CALLED BY DEATH
Passed Away "Wednesday Night in Chicago Where She Was Visiting a Daughter.

D. H. Burtis received a telegram yes terday afternoon announcing the death of his mother, Mrs. S. l.. Burtis, in Chicago. A message had been received in the morning. sent the night before. announcing her serious illness. Yes terday morning a letter was received from her, written last Sunday, stating that she had been ill for two or three weeks but was better and was able to sit up and write. The news received yesterday was therefore quite sudden.
 The funeral arrangements have not been made but the body will be brought to Phoenix for interment leaV- ing Chicago today accompanied by Mrs. Els of Davenport. Iowa, the old est daughter of Mrs. Burtis. Her hus- band, P. T. Burtis, died here a few years ago and Mrs Rurtis Is survived by her sons D. H. Burtis of this city and George D. Burtis of Roosevelt and by three daughters, Mrs. Els. Mrs. Putnam of Chicago and Mrs. Budd of Mount Holly. N. J.
 Mir. and Mrs. P. T. Burtis came here over twenty years ago to visit their son D. H. Burtis, then located here. returning to their home in Chicago. About eighteen years ago they returned and made Phoenix their home thereaf- ter Mrs. Burtis left here early in No vember to spend the winter with her daughter in Chicago. She was 76 years old and was one of the best known and most highly respected women in Phoenix, being of a kindly and char itable disposition and devoted to good works. She was faithful and con sistent member of the Baptist church and was always an active church worker. Though she had passed the allotted three score years and ten there will be a wide circle of friends to re- gret the ending of life of usefulness and good works. and to offer sympathy to mourning relatives.

In the Meantime 0pecuIators Are Ly- ing Quiet Until the Improvement Sets in.

New York. Feb. 6.-Thc stock mar ket today was less affected by evil dence of the contracted stage to which the traffice industry has fallen all though evidences continue to accum- ulate. The market in fact is unre- sponsive to anything and for much of the time there was a lethargic drIll- ness. The indifference fairly repre- sents the present uncertainty of the world of finance over the future. The feeling is more general that the depth of the depression has been reached and that an improvement is to be looked for.

We. the Waterwurks Committee of
the City Council, and the Commit
tee appointed by the Commercial Club
OF the City Of Ardmore, hereby state
that We have personally inspected
the dam at the city lake, and have
carefully gone over the plans and
estimates Of Walter C. Dean. and we
unhesltatingly recommend that the
improvements outlined by Mr. Dean
and hereto attached be made.
We are confident that by making
the improvements as herein outlined
that the said dam will need no fur
ther repairs and will stand as long as
time lasts. A smaller amount OF mon
ey could be probably used in fixing
said dam; but taking into considera-
ton the tremendous Importance OF
the city lake to the city. and realiz.
ing the fearful consequence II any
thing should happen to said dam, we
/ therefore. think 1t is the safest and
wisest course for the city to fix the
same as there will be no possibility
Of its giving away In the future.

every detail and even the estimated
cost OF each item can be seen at the

For weak, worn-out, over-workcd wom-
emo matter what has caused the
break down, "Favorite Prescription
will be found most effective in building
up the strength, regulating the womanly
functions, subduing pain and bringing
about healthy, strong, vigorous con-
ditlon OF the whole system.
DR.. Pierce believes that our Americas
forests abound in most valuable medi-
cinal roots for the cure Of most Of our
obstinate and most fatal diseases, II We
would properly investigate them; and.
In confirmation Of this firm conviction,
he points with pride To the almost mar
vclous cures effected by his "Golden
Medical Discovery" which has proven
itself TO be the most efficient stomach
tonic, liver invigorator, heart tonic and
regulator, and blood cleanser known to
medical science Not less marvellous.
in the unparalleled cures il is constantly
making oi woman + many peculiar affec.
tiuus, weakness and distressing dernnge-
mcnts, is Or. Pierce's Favorte Prescrip-
| tion, as is amply attcsted by thousands
Of unsolicited testimonials contributed
by grateful patients who have been
cured by II Of lcucorrhea, painful
periods, irregularities, prolapsus ard
other isplacements, liberation of uterus
and kindred affections, often after many
other advertised medicines had failed.
Both these world-famed medicines
are wholly made up from the glycorio
extracts Of native, medicinal roots,
found in our American forests. The
processes employed in their manu-
facture were original with DR.. Pierce,
and they are carried on by skilled chem
lists and pharmacists with the aid Of
apparatus and appliances specially
designed and built for this purpose.
Both medicines are entirely free from
alcohol and all other harmful, habit
forming drugs. What is said OF their
power to cure the several diseases for
which they are advised may be easily
learned by sending your name and
address TO DR.. X. V. Pierce, Buffalo,
n. Y, for little booklet which he has
compiled, containing copious extracts
| from numerous standard medical books,
which are consulted as authorities by

DIR. Pierce's medicines, however, form
q single and therefore striking exception
o. the above rule. Their claim 10 the
confidence Of invalids does not rest
solely upon their owners and makers
sRy-so or praise. Their ingredients are
matters OF public knowledge, being
printed on each separate bottle-wrap-
per. Thus invalid sufferers are taken
Into Or. Pierce's full confidence. Scores
Of leading medical men have written
enough 20 I'LL volumes In praise OF the
curative value Of the several ingredients
entering into these well known med
icines.
In favor OF Dr. Pierce's medicines is
the frank, contiding, open, honest state
ment Of their full composition, giving
every ingredient IN PLAN English, With
out fear Of successful criticism and with
confidence that the good sense OF the
afflicted will lead them 90 appreciate
this honorable manner Of conilding to
them what they are taking into their
stomachs when making use OF these
medicines.
WHAT THEY CURE. People often
ask rWhat do DR.. Piercc's two leading
medicines-'G Golden Medical Discovery
and Fayorite Prescription curc?"
Briefly, the answer is that cGolden
Medical Discovery is most potent MI.
teratiye. or bLood.pnrlfer. and tonic. or
inyigoratnr, and acts especially favor
ably In a curative way upon all the
mucous lining surfaces, as OF the nasal
passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stom-
ach, bowels and bladder curing large
percentage of catarrhal cases whether
the disease affects the nasal passages,
the throat, larynS, bronchia, stomach
(as catarrhal dyspepsial, bowels ns
mucous diarrhca), bladder, uterus or
other pelvic organs. Even i'm the chronic
or ulcerative stages of these affections,
II is generally successful in affecting
cures. In fact the "Golden Medical
Discovery" is without doubt, the most
successful constitutional remedy for all
forms of catarrhal diseases known to
modern medical science. In Chronic
Nasal Catarrh DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy fluid should be used for washing
and cleansing out the nasal passages
while taking the "Discoveryj for it's
blood cleansing and specific, healing
effects upon the mucous lining mcm-
braues. This combined local and gem
eral treatment will cure n very lnrge
percentage of the worst cases OF chronic
nasal catarrh, no matter Of how many
years standing they may be.
As 20 the "tavorite Prescription" IL
Is advised for the cure OF one class Of
diseases only-those weaknesses, de-
rangements and irregularities peculiar
20 women. II is a powerful, yet gently
acting, invigoratiug tonic and nervine.

Whose Say=So Is Best?

With nearly all medicines put up for sale
through druggists, one has to take the max
ers say-sO alone and exclusively as to their
curative value. Of course, such testimony
is not that Of a disinterested party and ac-
cordingly is not to be given the same credit
as if written from disinterested motives.
