An old friend of the Arizona laundry entered through back window of that place of cleanliness and went through the papers of Manager John J. Kolberg, but without securing anything. Some one else ruthlessly broke into ''silent salesman" ou West Washington street and took away it's entire stock of pea nuts and the nickels it had collected

Charges Against Kibbey

It has been learned that the charges against Governor Kibbey reported from Washington consist of an act committed twenty years ago, when he was on the bench in Arizona. It seems that Francis Heney was representing a man named Reymert and while the case was being tried Heney and Reymert, accompanied by some of the trial purors visited several saloons. Governor Kibbey called Heney to account and severely criti- cised him for his act entering the crit. icism on the record Afterwards Kib- bey reeonsidered the matter and stated to Judge Sloan and Wells that he d:d not think he dealt justly by Heney. Actuated by the advice of his two colleagues on the bench he expugned the record, drawing line through the record. A photograph of this record has been filed at Washington. it is said, by T. F. Wilson of Tucson. who was at the time United States district attorney.

Win oppose Appropriation.

That the proposed appropriation of $25,000 to establish a manual training department in the Flagstaff Normal School win not be recommended by the committee of the assembly appointed to examine it, is apparent from statements made by the members of the committee upon their return from Flagstaff. As semblyman Fred Sutter of Cochise, Phil C. Merrill of Graham and Frank ]. Duffy of Santa Cruz, are unanimous in the opinion that the cost of maintain ing the institution is waste of public money, taking into consideration the number of teachers graduated. The school has an enrolment of only thirty scholars. It has been suggested that the Flagstaff normal building would be suitable for pioneers home.

Eat What You want of the food you need Kodol will digest it.

You need a sufficient amount of good wholesome food and more than this you need to fully digest it.
 Else you can't gain strength, nor can you strengthen your stomach if it is weak.
 You must eat in order to live and maintain strength.
 You must not diet, because the body requires that you eat suffic- tent amount of food regularly.
 But this food must be digested, and it must be digested thoroughly.
 When the stomach can't do it, you must take something that will help the stomach.
 The proper way to do is to eat what you want, and let Kodol di- gest the food.
 Nothing else can do this. When the stomach is weak it needs help; you must help it by giving it rest, and Kodol will do that.

some. Anyhow, she tried to gather
some OF the other women she knew
who were not blessed with good looks
into a club. But the club proved un-
popular and died Il natural death. The

Getting His Posters Into Canada With
out Paying Duty.
one Of +. T.. Barnum's most success
ful feats OF bamboozlemen--w WAS played
upon the Canadian custoHs authori
ties. The veteran showman's tours
were always planned far In advance,
and one winter be made up his mind
to take his great circus and menag
erie through Canada during the sum-
mer after the next. This gave him
about two years in which 10 mature
his plans.
One important item of a showman's
expenses consists Of his advertising
placards, and Mr.. Barnum was always
lavish with these gaudy prints. lie
was aware that the Canadian govern
ment imposed a high duty on this
class of imports, and yet he wanted to
paint Canada red, yellow, blue and
green with a lavishness that no show
man had ever displayed in that coun
try before.
Now there was no printing house
to turn out the kind Of work that Mr..
Barnum required either in size, color
or finish Nevertheless his immensr
posters came under the same classi
fcation as much smaller autographs
and printed cOlored matter did. and h.
knew that the Dominion custom au-
thorities would not abate one jot Of
the full toll. but would rather rejoics
at the opportunity to mulct the foreign
er who would convey so much moncy
out Of a country
SO Barnum studied the question
awhile and finally sent on at once q
great lot of circus posters Of the most
gorgeous designs wherein yellow lion
and clawed striped tigers and brow
bears fought with blue appropriateness
till gore flowed into beautiful crimson
backgrounds. No agent appeared wheA
the posters were detained by the Ca
madam customs officers to pay tih
duty. They were accordingly held 1Df
twelve months, then duly advertis
for sale for three months more all
finally put up at auction with lot OF
other unclaimed parcels and were des-
ignated in the catalogue merely as
'colored prints"
Nobody took any interest in them
when the auctiOneer. called for a BID.
and finally the whole batch was knock
] ed down for song to a secret agent

same moment the snake seized and
began swallowing if.
BY this time the attendants had
rushed into the cage, and they began
beating the python Not liking this
treatment. the big snake relaxed its
