A Bride Sprains Her Ankle.

While changing from one train to
another a few days ago a bride
wrenched her ankle very badly. She
was afraid she would be lame for
some time for the ankle panied her
and was swelling rapidly. One of her
fellow passengers brought her bottle
of Sloan's Liniment. The Liniment
stopped the pain at once and took
down the swelling and next day her
ankle was almost as strong as ever.
Mr.. L. Roland Bishop of Scranton.
Pa, says:-"On the 7th of this pres
ent month, as I was leaving the build
ing at noon for lunch, I slipped and
fell, spraining my wrist. I returned
in the afternoon, and at four O'Clock
I could not hold pencil in my hand.
I returned home at five o'clock and
purchased bottle of Sloan's Lini-
ment and used it five or six times be.
fore I went to bed, and the next day
was able to 60 to work and use my
hand as usual. thought sure would
be laid up, and as we are busy I was
very much worried. cheerfully rec
ommend Sloan's Liniment to all per-
sons who may injure themselves in
any way"

+, T. Mimnaurh & Co.

While in Columbia last week on
matters of business, the Editor took
occasion to visit the mammoth de-
partment store of J. L. Mimnaugh &
Co. Mr.. Mimnaugh is now having
competed 30-foot annex, three
stories high with basement, in order
to meet the demands of his ever
growing trade. We have never seen
such an array Of goods-such an array
of values-irresistable bargains, as is
now shown at this great establish
ment.
The millinery department at MINI
naugh's surpasses in beauty and love-
illness all previous efforts, and the
ladies in charge are kept busy from
early morning until late at night fill
ing The orders for Easter hats that are
coming in from every section and
quarter OF Columbia and the Carolinas.
TO say that Mimnaugh leads in style
and price, is but yoicing the senti-
ments of the hundreds OF ladies who
visit this department every hour in
the day.
Mimnaugh has the best and most
up-to-dare ladies' made suit depart
ment in the south. Here you will
find everything in the ready-to-wear
line from the simplest child's dress to
the most elaborate dress made; any
shirt waist and underwear desired,
and it will pay you to visit MINI
naugh's before buying any article IN
this line. The prices will do the rest.
The line Of dress goods carried by
Mimnaugh is the equal of any store in
the state. All that's newest and best
in silks, wash goods, suitings, etc.,
and the prices are 80 low that you
can't resist the temptation to buy.
It is needless to attempt to describe
the many new things to be seen at
this great store now, for it would take
columns to give anything like a fair
idea OF what really is in store for
those who visit Mimnaugh's before
making their purchases. But we will
add that you can find anything for
man, woman or child, and thousands
of articles for every member Of the
household and all at prices that will
appeal to your purse strings.

At The Lyric.

This week "The Lyric" theatre in
Columbia, is presenting series Of
attractions, which is, by far, the best
ever seen in Columbia. SO large have
the crowds grown that it has become
necessary for the manager to allow
only a full house to enter at one time
preventing the rush. The best aero
bats, the best dancers, the bet sing
ers, the best music, the best comedi-
ans on the road, all appear at The
Lyric, and the price of admission is
SO small that every one can afford to
enjoy an evening of fun and amuse-
ment. Our citizen. while in Colum-
bia will find The Lyric theatre all
ideal place to while away the hours.

Now Fer Wate1works.

In answer to the call made through
The Dispatch last week, large and
enthusiastic meeting of the citizens OF
the town was held in Roofs hall on
Monday night to consider the advisa-
bilitv of securing waterworks and
electric lights. Mayor John J. Tay-
lor called the meeting to order and
announced the purpose of the gather
ing.
The meeting was organized by the
election of Hon. S. J. Leaphart as
chairman and D. r. Haltiwanger
secretary.
The matter was discussed fully and
freely by those who were in favor of
the proposition and by those who op-
posed it. There was a difference of
opinion as to the town being able to
secure both waterworks and electric
lights, the greater majority being in
favor of waterworks only, and it was
finally decided to allow the chair to
appoint a committee to secure esti-
mates and enquire into the cost of en-
stalling water system. The chair
man named the following committee:
c.. M. Efrd, W. P. Roof, Samuel B.
George, w. W. Barre and J. Simon
Caughman.
The committee is to secure all data
incident to the cost of securing water
works and an electric light plant and
report at subsequent meeting to be
called by the chairman.
It is indeed gratifying to those OF
us who have favored the move for
many years to see the unusual amount
of interest manifested at the meeting.

OVER S2O0O PAID OUT IN JANUARY
 FOR COUNTIES
tFrom Tuesdays paiIyl

Alarmed at the great increase of demands for the payment of hide boun- ties in the last few months and desir- ous of preventing, if possible, further drain on the county treasury from this source, yesterday the board of supervisors, through Clerk Peter, sent the following message to the represen- tatives of this county in the legisla- ture:
 "Yavapai county paid for bounty hides in the year 1909 over $11,300 and paid out for January of this year s2,026.75. Urge passage of bounty bill and also substitute for council bill No. 6, relating to county hospit- aIs.D
 This action of the board was imme- diately followed by the passage of an order instructing the clerk to adver- tise that no bounty hides will be ac- cepted in future except those to which the feet of the animal killed are at taehed.
 A comparison of the records of the board shows that the payment of bounties last year exceeded the ex- pense of maintenance of the county hospital. The costs of the district court, leaving out sheriff's expenses, were less than the total amount paid in bOunties, which also exceeded the total expense of running the treasur- er's and county recorders office. It is believed that the payment of boun- ties the coming year, in case the bounty laws are not repealed, will ex- ceed the cost of the sheriff's office, which cost in round figures last year the sum of s2O,OOO.
 The cost of maintaining the county hospital and poor farm last year was s1O,S7s, of which 1926 was expended in improvements and repairs. Leaving sheriff's fees out of consideration, the

DIES OF PARALYSIS

After lingering illness of three years, Mrs. Dominic Sanita succumbed to paralysis at her home in Congress, January 29. The funeral was held Saturday, interment being in the Con gress cemetery.
 She was 45 years old and a native of Italy. Her husband and three child ren survive her.
 The funeral was one of the largest seen in Congress in many months, at testing the high respect and esteem in which deceased was held by all who knew her. Several friends from this city were present to pay their last re- speets and sympathize with the sor- rowing relatives in their loss of a low ing and indulgent wife and mother.

TELLS OF SPENDERs
Old Post Cash Book Records Many a
 Fancy Price

Whatever else may be said of peo- pie living about Prescott in the early days, they were spenders. They had to be. A glance over cash book, now in possession of William Oliver, which tolls the knen of many a dollar at the Suffers store at Ft. Whipple from 1867 to 1869, finds some prices that would make a Yankee heart leap with joy.
 In those high-priee days men paid some money for clothes. Time and again sixteen dollars were changed for a pair of boots and a ten spot for flannel shirt It chronicles $1.50 for four buttons and s25O for two hand kerehiefs. Socks (nondeseript) brought one round dollar. When it came to eating, prices had eagle wings. A hundred pounds of flour always brought $50 and sugar sO.50 a pound. Coffee was seldom less than a dollar a pound.
 And drinkingl We'll, one very dry person paid SIP for a gallon of whis- key. Peculiarly enough, champagne did not carry the bonus. Two lieuten- ants indulged in "fzz water" on New Years at Sherry prices
 Agua Fria Ranch in those days was a powerful spender.
