ACID IN
VIEW OF MANY
Sensational Atetmpt at Sui
eide Made by Woman
on Street.

Without the slightest warning OF
any kind, a Mrs. scanlon, wife of
barber in Charleston, drank the con-
tents of a small bottle of carbolic acid
in plain view of crowd in Summers
street, near the Kanawha hotel. Real
izing the serious condition of the
woman, one of the men who was near
when she attempted suicide, ran into
the hotel and telephoned for an am
bulance. She was taken to the Cen
raj hospital where it was found that
her condition, while quite serious,
was not dangerous.
No cause for the attempted suicide
could be learned. Two hours before
taking the carbolic acid the woman
had tried to buy a pistol at Gates's
store on sumtiers street, saying she
was afraid OF burglars. Gates re-
fused to sell her the weapon.

THE CONGO REPORTERS GROWING MORE EARNEST
They Demand Early Assurances From Belgium of an Improvement in the Free State.

London, Jan. 21.-There was a meet ing today of the Congo Reform Asso- citation under the presidency of Lord Monkswell at which a more active campaign was decided upon. Resolu- tions were adopted denounceing the roundly proposed treaty for the trans- fer of the Congo Free State to Belgium. They demanded that the British gov ernmenl proclaim an early time limit within which Belgium must produce a plan of annexation, providing guaran- tees of a complete reversal of the practices of the existing system and a restoration to the natives of their rights, abrogatiOn of slavery and fore ed labor.
 If Belgium does not adopt such a scheme, the resolutions declare, the British government should appeal to the powers for joint action. These re- solutions are intended to strengthen Sir Edward Grey. the British foreign secretary who is only a waiting defi- nite action by the Belgium govern ment before intervening.

BUSINESS MEETING
 or BOARD OF TRADE
Directors Did a Lot of Things Tester- day in a Very Few Minutes.

The directors of the board of trade at yesterdays meeting attended to a number of important matters besides the project of the Los Angeles bureau referred to in another column. A pro- test against road flooding. placed be- fore the supervisors. answered by that body and reported to the board. was passed along to the reclamation serv- ice. A proposition was received from a young gentleman by the name of Houston Harlan for the securing of new members for the board. on g com mission basis and the president and secretary were authorized to act as they thought best. The Calkins Syn dicate presented proposition to give the board d set of the panorama pie lures of this valley or as many as they required of set, if the board would frame them. The president and sec retary were instructed to make the de- sired selection. It was again report
 ed to the board that train men on the main lines were knocking" this val ley. to tourists. Messrs Goldsworthy and Landis who were present. an- nounced that if specific cases could be found they would take up the mat  ter, but there is no way of dealing with it unless a case could be made out. The matter of a special excursion rate to Phoenix from Los Angeles was dis cussed. as well as the through sleeper and the $3.50 side-trip proposition and Col McCIintock of the advertising committee. was authorized to spend an amount not exceeding $50 in telling people in Los Angeles about these op- portunities. Mir. Landis will help him in working out a plan of procedure. w. s. GOldsworthy announced that some time in the spring. probably in March. the Texas Bankers assOcia- tion will visit the Grand Canyon and he thought it would be a nice thing to invite the eXcursionists to visit Phoe- nix.

THE SENATE AND THE JUDICIARY

Washington. Jan. 2l.-The senate to- day discussed the propriety of author izing a committee to investigate the decision connected with the case of the Hinchman Coal and Coke C. vs. John Mitchell by Judge Dayton of the fed eral circuit court of West Virginia. Mir. Culberson asked to have a resolu- tion for the purpose adopted. MT. Hale thought the senate should not harassed judges in their desisions. He did not favor resolution, unless there was considerable ground for believing that the judge had exceeded his au- thority.
 Senator Teller introduced an amend ment to the sundry civil appropriation bill providing for the purchase of sil- yer bullion to the extent of s100.000, ,000 models showing methods of mining
 The senate briefly considered the bill authorizing the secretary of the interior to place on exhibition at the proposed international mining exhibit ion in New York from May 25 to June 20 an exhibit of the mining resources of the United States together with to be made into subsidiary coinage. and the extraction of metals.

NEW GUNS FOR THE
 NATIONAL 6UARDSMtN
Outline of Plans for Busy and Pro- fitabIe Summer for the Soldier Boys.

New Springfield ritles. improved and up to date now recognized as the best man-killer in the market. are shortly to be provided for the national guard of Arizona. in lieu of the Krag -Jorg- enson rifles with which the guard is now equipped. This is not because the Krags are a poor gun. but because the new Springfield is a better one and shoots little bit farther and with a better trajectory. The American mili- tary establishment must have the best if il keeps its place in the world. and now that the guard is a direct adjunct of the regular establishment it must be armed the same way to avoid con- fusion in the event of field duty. The new weapon also shoots a sharp point cd bullet which it is contended does better work and is more nasty and searching in its methods when it is fired into a string Of men. One hun dred of the new guns will be received at once and will be issued to the eX- pert marksmen in each company that they may begin practice with them but the entire guard will be rc-armed by summertime.
 Tho plans for the activity of the guard during the summer are fast talk ing shape. First there is the annual shoot at Camp Perry. The best marks men will be selected from each com pany. to the total Uf about forty. will be taken to the Fort Whipple rifle target range for practice and from this number will be chosen the team just as was done last year. to repre- sent Arizona in the Camp Perry com petition. On their return in Septem- Der il is likely the entire guard will be mobiiZcd at some point in this valley for a short period of drill and practice This will be followed by the designation of battalion of the guard 10 attend the Pacific cncampment for field maneuvcrs. which will be held at Nacicmcntos ranch in Salinas val Icy. Monterey county. Cal. There will be present suardsmcn from the coast states and all the available regulars in that part of the country.
 Between now and that time new uniforms will be ordered both blue and kahk and the guard will be put at the highest standard of efficiency possible. The annual inspection of the guard will take place in April and will be made by some regular army officer not yet announced

PrevaIeney of Kidney Disease.

Most people do not realize the alarming increase and remarkable prevalency of kidney disease. While kidney disorders are the most common diseases that prevail, they are almost the last recognized by patient or phy- sicians. who content themselves with doctoring the effects, while the orig inal disease undermines the system.
 The mild and immediate effect of Swamp Root, the great kidney. liver and bladder remedy, is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarka- ble cures in the most distressing cases.

No Longer Editor Bryan.

He is now William Jennings Bryan,
candidate. not candidate and editor in
imposing duality since the Denver con-
vention. The editor part of him is
retired by his own act. He refuses to
be responsible for all of the utterances
of his paper during the campaign, as
he cannot supervise and revise as he
has been wont to do, and something
might slip into the columns of the
Ccmmoner which would compel him to
explain.
The change is not radical, however,
and Mr.. Bryan runs no risk of suffer
ing the catastrophe which has been
known in history to occur when the
editor was away and another had tenn
porary charge, with the effect of revo-
lutionizing all the political and other
tenets that had been formerly sup
ported. Brother Charles may be as de-
pendable and loyal as the Brother
Charles of the Taft family, and Rich
ard l.. Metcalf may be trusted without
fear, for is he not the author and
compiler of 300 octave pages of a
volume entitled THE Real Bryan" in
which the candidate is made to appear
as a sort of demigod?
The change is to endure only until
November, according to Mr.. Bryan.
Is it possible the candidate anticipates
that he will have nothing to do after
the day of election, November 3, ex-
cept to once more assume the role OF
the editor? Is such announcement
prophetic of defeat? Has intuition
told him that election is impossible?
Does his sub-consciousness whisper OF
victory for the Republican party? Or
if elected, is it his purpose to again
assume the editorship of the Com
moner and thus make sure of having
at least one organ that will indorse
his policy in all things?

CHOICE OF TWO POSITIONS.
Plain Facts for Those Who contem
plate Voting for Mr.. Bryan.

In a recent speech Mr.. Bryan reit-
crates his familiar assertion that his
denomination after two defeats shows
that his party still believes and in
dorses the principles | have been ad-
vocating." Now, Mr. Bryan is identified
with no principle so thoroughly as
with free coinage of silver at ratio
OF l6 to and the necessary con
comitant of that proposition-recog-
nized and declared by himself to be
the negation and destruction of the
gold standard.
II is true that Mr.. Bryan now says,
with characteristic stiffness, that
what he aimed at in 1896 was not de
struction of the gold standard but
more money" His assertion is false;
for what he aimed at then and what
he has never yet renounced, is the de-
struction of the gold standard. To
this inescapable fact his own utter
ances bear irrefragable testimony. At
Knoxville, Tenn, in 1896, he said
Against the maintenance of the
gold standard for one year or forever
the Democratic party has arrayed
itself. We are opposed to a gold stan
dard; we have commenced war of
determination against it which will not
cease.
IF there is any one who believes
that the gold standard is good thing
or that it must be maintained, / warn
him not to cast his vote for me, be-
cause | promise him that it will not
be maintained in this country longer
than | am able to get rid of it."
No man can vote for w. j. Bryan in
this campaign except on one of two
grounds. Either he must believe that
Bryan still yearns to destroy the gold
standard. in which case he is unfit for
president; or else he must believe that
Bryan was wrong then and knows bet
ter now, in which case he is faulty
reasoner and an unsafe guide.

Always Staunch
And True

The Denver Republican has al
ways avoided the fallacies and
knaveries of yellow journalism.
and its steadily increasing Circula-
ton proves conclusively that its
policy of telling the plain Truth
without exaggeration or nisrepre-
sentation, standing fast for the
Right, is heartily approved with
growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.
To read it is liberal Education,
and the citizen who goes without
it does a positive harm to himself,
to his family, and to the commu-
nifty.

Judgment of men are certainly multi

who expect his election.

Mr.. Taft is no less alive to the evils
of trusts than Mr.. Bryan. He has his
own ideas as to the proper method of
dealing with them. His method would
be more effective than Mr.. Bryan's as
far as the trusts themselves are con-
cerned, and would involve no injury
to the guiltless, no pulling up of the
wheat along with the tares.
