eped case Of it is more than apt to be fractions, We don't know what effect set of chalky ribs would have on e nan. but perhaps they antected his sp- petite and interfered with his digest ion. That would cause one to be ir- ritable and unreliable. and might in- ducs him to do or say foolish things which a sound man would not do.

Shakespeare assured us that "there was never yet phfloposher that could endure the toothache patiently ..' and he was about correct A raging. Jumping tooth will wither the philos. ophy of the best of us. and who knows but that Pharaoh's backing and fiiins was the result of teeth7 When the pain was at its worst he would prom :. ise anything, but when the pain ceasee he became stubborn as a mule again combination of gout. chaIky ribs and bad teeth would be enough to cause mental alterations in any one. and perhaps Pharaoh's antics were the re- suit of his physical condition. That, at least. is the line of argument some are taking. and we propose to let them thresh it out.

BRYAN MAY WIN.

Politicians Regard His Chances nn Very Promising.
 Washington Special.
 The boom for Governor Johnson, en- gineered by former Senator William A. Harris, of Kansas, has petered out. Johnson, himself, has tossed the prop- osition into the air. He says that he VIII not permit the use of his name as candidate against Bryan. His reas- ons are well understood. He practical ly has concluded arrangements 10 20 on the lecture platform. The work he has mapped out for himself Is congen- tal and lucrative. As a business prono- sition, he can make almost as much money in the delivery of lectures as he would receive in salary as Presi- dent At the same time, he would be taking no chances and would be build ing up his personal strength in every part of the country. Governor Johnson Is yet a young man. He is able and ambitious. That he has aspirations of political sort Is not doubted. He would like to be President of the Unit cd States. He does not care, however. to undertake contest for the office at this time. He believes that the time for his contest is not ripe. He is for Bryan and has said so frankly.
 That Bryan is not the choice of the Democrats in Congress has been ap- parent for a long time; but he evident iy has the Democratic hosts of the country with him, and they and not the congressmen. will maks the nomi- nation. 5tSa1-'
 A strong feeling Is being manifested among not only the Democrats in Con gress. but also among those who are visiting Washington at this time that Mr. Bryan. this year, has a chance to win at the polls. That is the view of the situation taken by men who. here tofore, having been opposedto the nomination of MT. Bryan a third time The opinion is general that before the public of the country. he is stronger than he was in 1896, when, it Is con ceded, he had the opposition badly frightened. In 1900, of course, he was beaten from the start. This year both Republicans and Democrats believe that he is likely to give any candidate nom- mated at Chicago a hot argument.
 This opinion is entertained because 1t seems likely that. for the first time in a Presidential contest MT. Bryan is likely to have the support of aaunited Democracy. No factional divisions are probable. He win be supported by all Democrats, because there are no lines of cleaveage among them now. The situation is anomalous, but 1t fore casts one of the most interesting, if not exciting campaigns in the history of American politics.

This Is My 5Sth Birthday
Luther Burbank.

Luther Burbank, who has gained worldwide fame as the originator of new varieties of fruits and flowers, was born March 2, 1S49. in Lancaster, Mass He spent his boyhood on a farm and was educated in the academy of his native town. He early manifested an aptitude for the study of nature, espe- cially plant life. In 1875 he moved to Santa Rosa, Cal. where his sue cessful experiments won for him the name of the plant wizard" He Is the originator of many new apples, peaches, nuts, berries and valuable trees, flow CTS, fruits. grasses. grains and veget- ables, but he Is probably best known to the public as the originator of the famous Burbank potato. For his work and achievements as a naturalist Mr. Burbank has been honored by numer- ous colleges and scientific bodies He is an honorarym ember of all the prom inent horticultural and other scientific societies on the Pacific coast and is a special lecturer on evolution at Le- land Stanford, Jr., University

AN ImroRrAnr DrscovERY.

Somewhere within the past few days we have read something new about Pharaoh. Pharaoh. you will bear in mind. is very dead. From the best in- formation at hand he has been dead matter of four thousand years. more or less. for the almanacs of that peL rtod are not available. and the chron- ology of events back there may have gaps in t. But anyhow. one of that name win be remembered as the Egyp- tian. ruler who caused Moses and Aaron and the other Iaraelites no end of worry before they 'nhaily succeeded in getting away from him. A number of timss-eiEht or ten. we beiieve--he gave his solemn promise that the downtrodden children oe Israel should be permitted to depart in peace, and just as often changed his mind--If he possessed such an asset-and refused to let them out of his sight. When hnal- ly they started on their way rejoic- ing he followed them and the Red Sea took possession of him,
 So much of history. Now it is claim ed that this genuine Pharaoh. ot his mummy, has been found and ex- aminsd by the modern wise men of the earth. It must not be forgotten that Pharaoh was the title of the rulers Of Egypt, and that there were numbers of them. so that the diggers after bur- fed remains might easily have got ten the wrong cadaver. but they claim to have identified this one as the real article who played fast and loose with the descendants of Abraham. What ia more. we are told that an eminent Ger man scientist has been making an ex- animation of the remains and has dis covered that the old ruler was in very bad shape. Among other ailments he had gout, chaIky degeneration of tho ribs and a horribly defective set Of teeth.
 Here. now. Is something definite to 70 on. It has always been a subject of speculation that Pharaoh should have so often changed his mind and the fact is sometimes attributed to natural cowardice. Each time the Almighty sent an anliction on him or his people he promptly promised to release the Israelites. but as soon as the afiiction passed away he turned about and tried | to add to their troubles and to the firmness of their slavery. He was a thorough and supreme autocrat in his own Kingdom. but he could see that these dire troubles that were visited on his domain came from a higher and more powerful source than any with which he was acquainted. and that he was utterly unable to cope with that power or set aside its acts. Therefore 1t was that each pest that was sent frightened him to the extent that he would promise anything to get relief. but when the afiiction was gone he thought no more would come and so dropped back into the old rut.
 That's the sort of guy Pharaoh was. and all his changes of heart have been attributed to cowardice. but the dis coveries of the German professor may cause a different line of thought, and 1t may be argued that all his vacil- iations were the result of his physical inhrmities. Gout is not an improver of the human temper. we have observ- ed and one who has a wellT Tdsvel-

Mayor Johnson Was Proof Against Loss However 1t Turned Out.

Cleveland, Nov. 10.-Mayor Johnson refused to produce the books of the Pay as- you enter Fare Box com pany when ordered to do so today by Special Master Bedford of the federal court, in the receivership case of the Municipal Street Railway com pany. Then the attorneys for the Central Trust company of New York threatened to have the mayor cited for contempt.
 Mayor Johnson admitted that he and President Dupont of the Trac- tion company owned all the stock in the fare box company. The mu- nicipal company had met all the ex- penses of the fare box experiments he said. and would have stood the loss if the fare box company had been a failure, but if it proved a success Johnson and Dupont were to get the profits. and not the municipal company.

HELPS MANY OLD PEOPLE
Prescription for Weak B|ad-
 der and Kidneys
Tells How to Prepare Simple Recipe to Get Splendid Curative Results Always.

This is a simple home recipe now being made known in all the larger cities through the newspapers. It is intended to check the many cases of rheumatism, kidney and bladder trou- ble which have made so many crip- pies and invalids and weddings of some of our brightest and strongest people.
 The druggists here have been noti- fled to supply themselves with the ingredients and the sufferer will have no trouble to obtain them. The pre- scription is as follows: Fluid Ex- tract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce, and Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three ounces Mix by shaking well in a bottle. The dose is one teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime.
 Recent experiments prove this sim pie mixture effective in rheumatism. because of it's positive action upon the eliminative tissues of the kidneys It compels these most vital organs to filter from the blood and system the waste impurities and uric acid which are the cause of rheumatism. It cleanses the kidneys. strengthens them and removes quickly such symptoms as backache, blood disor- ders,. bladder weakness, frequent uri- nation, painful scalding and discolored urine. It acts as a powerful stimu- lant to the entire kidney and bladder structure.
 Those who suffer and are accus- toned to purchase a bottle of medi- cine should not let little inconven- fence interfere with making this up.

BRING ALONG
 YOUR DIMES When Tag Day Comes You'll
 Be 'lP
 z. NEXT FRIDAY IS THE DAY
A Small Army of 200 Young
 Women and Men Have Volunteered to Play Tag In the Name of Charity.

Don't forget that Friday is TAG DAY. But if you should happen to forget all about it it will not matter much as you will be reminded of it shortly after you have had your break fast, for the residential section of the city, the business streets, and the fair ground most of all, will swarm with pretty girls and polite young men who will ask you to buy a tag for charity.
 You may ask, Why should I spend a dollar or even ten cents for tags?"
 A young man once ordered a steak in a cheap restaurant in the Latin quarter of Paris At the close of the meal. which was nothing extraordinary in the culinary line, the bill presented called for about s7 in American money.
 The young man remOnstrated and said he had not received S7 worth of steak. The polite proprietor admitted this but offered as his reason for the exorbitant charge that he needed the money"
 The Associated Charities need the money"
 The man who invented tag day knew human nature. He knew that a smile from a pretty girl is worth ten cents at the very least And then tag is a sort of game. It isn't exactly like poker or bridge-its not quite that ex pensive; but there is an element of chance in it. To play the game you might try to figure out how much it will cost you to get from your home to the office and how many dimes it will take to get home again when you know that your path will be strewn with pretty girls each whh a sweet smile and a savings bant.
 There will be quite a contest on among the workers to see who will gather in the most skels for there are lnree prizes for those who get the most
 While there is now a small army of some 200 workers who will play tag there is room for others. They should be as thick as fleas on a hobo dog and keep the stingy man just as busy dodg ing the pretty girls as the dog is dodg ing the fleas.
 Keen rivalry is already shown among the girls of the Kelly Gamble comedy company who are going to tag for charity. The number of each of the banks will-be taken down with the name of the actress who carries it and at the end of the day the amount col lected will be counted and these amounts will be published in The Re publican on Saturday or Sunday. Miss Favar and Miss Allen could borrow money from a bank with no other se- curity than their bright eyes: and as for Miss Ruth Ellsworth, Miss Hazel Kirke and Miss Ruth Duficey-most anyone would be glad to hook his watch just for the privilege of buying tags from them.
 The tags and banks will soon be ready for distribution to the sub-com- mittee who will in turn provide each of the workers with tags and bank.
 Tag day Headquarters at the fair will be in the Arizona fair rest tent and downtown the headquarters will be at the office of Dwight B. Heard. Mrs. Heard and Mrs. B. A. Fowler will

THE EFFORT
 STIMULATING Of the Sale of the Humboldt
 SIneteF MINERS ARE GETTING BUSY The Receivers Sale Effected at Prescott at High Noon Yesterday to be Confirmed at New Brunswick, N. J., On December 10.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Nov. 10.-(Spe- cial to The Republican)-Aftera an hour of spirited bidding at the front steps of the Yavapai courthouse, the Hum bolit smeiter and other properties of the bankrupt Consolidated Arizona Smelling company were knocked down today to Edwin s. Hooley and Thomas Ackenback of New York, through their representatives, F. A. Dillingham; of New York and Stanley w. Swabey of Chicago. The purchase price was S2OO. 900 and the incurring mortgages. amounting. it is stated, to between s240.OOO and S260,000.
 When J. Kearney Rice, the trustee in bankruptcy, announced the sale of the properties to Hooley and Acken- hack, their emissaries paid over s2O,- 900. the amount of the deposit requir- ed The various items of the awnings were first put up separately and were bid for by the representatives of Hoo ley and Ackenback until the aggregate reached $1S0,000. When bids on the properties in toto were asked. Me Clanahan offered s195,000. The Hoo ley -Ackenback interest at once made the figure $2OO.OO0 The confirmation of the sale is set for December 20 at New Brunswick. N. J.
 According to the aspect of things. many Prescott persons look on today's sale as the beginning of a reorganiza- ton of the old company. They base the opinion upon the statement Of Dil- ingham that his clients were interested in the defunct Arizona Smelling com< pany This. however. need not be talk en as indicating the same sore of busi- ness maneuvers are in store as last year that brought about the smelter's downfall. Those close to the auction negotiations assert that the sale to- day was to bona fide parties who will put the smelter to work with the in tention of making dividends out of the treatment of Yavapai ore, and not out of the sale of stock.
 As a sign that the new company. whether or not it is a reorganization, is going to accomplish something, min CTS are at once going to work to do S4,000 worth of assessment work on mining claims that were bought in with tie shelter.
