happy, and the costumes worn by Miss

gown Of satin, in one Of the beautiful
new canaTd shades. The material

forming half of the bodice The
other side is heavily embroidered in
glittering blue and silver-lined bugles
and silver threads. The sleeves are
bands Of satin criss-croSSing each other
and lightly embroidered in silver and
bugles. The back is similar, the
drapery finishing at the left side in q
handsome buckle Of brilliants. From

skirt, on the left side, is q wide band
of silver embroidery.
A change is made to a striking gown
Of baby blue satin of a high cOliar and
deem yoke Of pale cream lace laid IN

REDUCED SHIPMENTS CAUSE
ADVANCE IN THE PRICE
OF STRING BEANS.

The considerable advance on the price
Of string beans today. as the result Of
reduced shipments has set dealers to
questioning as to whether the frost OF
last week damaged the Southern string
bean crop. While all reports have been
TO the effect that no damage was caused,
some doubt IS now beginning to exist
to the contrary.
Prospects for the string bean season
had been unusually good and, until to-
day, IL looked as though prices would
be more favorable to the hOusel1eeper
this spring than in several years It IS
possible that the falling of in ship
ments may be due TO minor causes,
which will prove to be only Of a tenn
pora-y nature.
Should the reduced shipments be
found 10 be the result Of the crop hay
ing been dar1aged by frost, however.
string beans for the next few weeks
will be one Of the IuXuries on the veg
etable market They are now bringing
as high as SO a crate, wholesale, which
IS an unusual price.

The Story ofa Medicine.

It's name-"Golden Medical Discovery y
was suggested by ono OF its most import
ant and valuable ingredients - Golden
Seal root.
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by tho use Of pure,
triple-refined glycerine, aided by a cer-
tain degree OF constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by tho use Of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world
famed "Golden Medical Discovery" for
the cure Of weak stomach, indigestion, or
dyspepsia. torpid liver, or biliousness and
kindred arrangements was first made, as

500 REWARD, 800

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all
its stages, and that is catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only posi-
tive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a consti-
tutional disease, requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting d.
rectly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work.

in its curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for

WILL PROTECT THEIR RIGHTS

The canal companies of this part
of the Gila Valley are determined to
protect their priority water rights,
and have perfected an organization
to that end.
While the farmers of the lower
Gila Valley are not opposed to any
canal company in the upper valley
getting all the unappropriated water
needed for the irrigation of the land
in that section, they do not propose
to give up any of their rights to a
water supply from the Gila River
for the irrigation of their farms, to
which they are entitled by right of
priority.
To preserve their rights they have
organized, and will seek legal advice
as well as conduct full investiga-
ton of the water supply from the
ella River, but this will be done in
a friendly spirit, and not for the
purpose of depriving the farmers of
the upper Gila Valley of their just
rights to water from the Gila River
for their lands.
There is great deal of flood
water at times in the Gila River
that has caused serious damage to
the farm lands of this part of the
valley, bordering on the river front.
If the canal companies in the upper
valley conserve *his water by build
ing reservoir, there would be no
kick from the farmers of the lowe
valley.
There is very little doubt but that
the whole matter can be amicably
settled in the near future, and the
rights of the different canal COM
panies in the upper and lower valley
to water supply from the Gila
River will be satisfactorily defined.
