We are informed by the news
dispatches that Harry Meyers, aged
IA years, was, at Harrisburg, on
Thursday last married to Margaret
Kellinger, aged IS, the consent of
parents on both sides having been
obtained. OF course Harry isn't old
enough to know any better, but the
balance of the outfit should be pub
licly whipped.

Samuel Gompers. President of the
American Federation of Labor, is
just at present in disfavor with his
disciples. The United Mine Work
ers' Journal says: "Gompers was
sent to Europe by the Federation
with his expenses paid and that the
result of his Investigations abroad
was to be given to the laboring men
in this country for their betterment.
The Journal and other labor papers
were recently offered the weekly
letters of Samuel Gompers giving
the result of his Investigations and
his conclusions at 81 per letter, per
week, said letters having been sold
by previous arrangements by Comp
ers to a newspaper, which in turn
was to get it's money from the labor
press of America" Whew!

Mrs. Josephine Uswick, of New
port News, wanted to go to sleep,
and her husband wanted to listen
to the shrieks of his rattle-trap
phonograph. She begged him to
desist. He wouldn't. Becoming
frantic, she seized a 22-calibre re-
volver and shot him in the right
arm. He had the wound dressed
and Immediately started the nerve
destroying machine. This time the
wife planked bullet into his left
leg, and he then concluded that he,
himself didn't care any more about
that kind of music. 'Rah for the

In an article on the new FleXner
serum for meningitis, in McClure's
Magazine, Burton j. Hendrick makes
the interesting statement that Fourth
of July fatalities are being reduced
by the use of tetanus anti-toxin.
AN anti-toxin against lockjaw,"
he says, has also been evolved.
AS curative this has not had the
same success as the similar treat
ment for diphtheria. This is ex-
planned by the fact that the tetanic
poison attacks the most delicate
parts Of the body. The diphtheria
toxin has an affinity for general body
cells-the liver, the kidney, and
other easily recuperative forms of
tissue. The tetanic poison ignores
these and goes directly for the
nerve cells upon which any serious
LESSONS are almost inevitably fatal.
AS preventive, however, the tetanus
anti-toxin is wonderfully successful.
Any one who receives a serious sur
face wound, especially if accom-
panied by dirt, should imm ediately
receive an injection, as infection from
tetanus can thus almost always be
forestalled. Lockjaw as a regular
accompaniment of our Fourth Of
July celebration is decreasing annu-
ally because of the general use Of
this simple prophylactic.'

The fact that fountain pen,

The new tariff bill has, it is
claimed, already quickened business
impulses. The President declares
that while the bill is not perfect by
any means, nor "a complete COM
pliance with promises made, strictly
interpreted" it is nevertheless a
sincere effort on the part of the
party to make downward revision
and to comply with the promises of
the platform.

1t is stated that a tramp dscov-

The scare which the authorities
at White Plains had concerning a
big, yellow automobile with two
men, in yellow ulsters and big gog-
giles, which appeared twice on
Thaw's line of march from court to
Jail, was extremely ludicrous in its
precautionary effect. Four heavily
armed guards were added to his
escort so that the yellow auto
couldn't steal him. For what any
one could want to steal such a
worthless piece of rubbish as Thaw,
is a funny conundrum.

The elite of Paris had a beauti-
full, soul-satisfying entertainment
on Thursday, when a vast crowd
gathered to see how prettily a
"headsman" could lop off the top
piece of Duchemein, who had
strangled his mother. But, why
rail at the French? America does
worse things than that-only the
audience is limited. We burn 'em
to death with electricity, or yank
their spinal columns apart, either
of which is far more barbarous.

The Board of Supervisors are in quandary over the proposed settlement recommended by the Territorial Board of Equalization, which contemplates the dismissal of the suit for taxes against the Grand Canyon Railway Co.,, now pending in the supreme court of the United States, the demand be- ing for the payment of taxes this year at valuation of 40 cents per acre on lands owned within Co., onino county Some members of the Board are of the opinion that they will win the case in the su- preme court, in any event; that since the exemption expired in February, the company is in duty bound to pay taxes this year, the railroad company having paid taxes in past years at valu- ation of 10 cents per acre. The compromise might affect other counties differently, but Coconino would merely lose back taxes, providing this statement of the case is true. No decision has been made as yet in the matter, though they have received advice of both kinds.
