George B. Wilcox of Tombstone

 few weeks ago he came up from
 Tombstone in his auto, and his ex-
 perience on the return trip was so
 unpleasant that he did not care to take the chance of repeating it. On
 the way home he made an intellectual
 effort to ford the Gila river. The

THE GAS COMPANY ELECTS NEW OFFICERS
The Company Proposes to Again Ask For a City Franchise.

The South Side Gas Company held another meeting Monday afternoon, which was merely a continuation of the meeting held last Friday. The an- nual election of officers took place, re- sulting as follows: President, B. B. Moeur; secretary. H. L. Chandler; treasurer, A. J. Peters.
 Among other things that were con- sidered was the matter of asking for another franchise from the city coun- cil. The first franchise asked for it will be remembered, was voted down by a small margin. The members of the. company feel that this failure was largely due to a misapprehension the public entertained and are confident that when the matter comes up for a vote of the people it will be with a different result.

FEEBLE OLD LADY Has Strength Restored By
 Vinol

Mrs. Michael Bloom of Lewistown. Pa, who is 80 years of age, says: "For long time have been so feeble that I have had to be wheeled around ip an invalid's chair. 1 had no strength and took cold at the slightest provoca. tion, which invariably settled on my lungs, and Q cough would result. My son learned of the cod liver prep aration called Vinol, and procured bottle for me. It built up my strength rapidly, and after taking three bottles l am able to do most of my work, and I can walk a quarter of mile easily. Every aged or weak person who re- quires strength should try Vinol. 1 am delighted with what 1t has done for me-"
 As body builder and strength crea- tor for old people, delicate children. weak, rundown persons, and after sickness, Vinol is unexcelled. If 1t fails to give satisfaction We will re- turn your money.

THE FRASER RANCH
 SOLD FOR sS0,0OO
One of the Best Cattle Ranges in the Territory,

The large cattle ranch, with sev- eral hundred head of cattle, and the range owned by J. J. Fraser have been sold to w. J. Clements, an eastern cap italist. With the sale are included several smaller ranches. The prop for the cattle industry in the territory erty is in one of the finest localities and the range which occupies a portion of the country in the Superstition mountains, is with few peers. The deal was made through the Pomeroy Guthrie Realty Company and is one of the biggest transactions consummated for a long time in this part of the country. The consideration is $S0,000, part of which has already been paid, and the balance is to be forthcoming immediately.
 With the transfer is included the Fish Creek property. and on one of the ranches in the upper end of the valley Is the site of the proposed sum- smer resort.
 Mir. Clements proposes to foster the idea of such place and has, 1t is un- derstOod, offered to assume a large portion of the expense which will be incurred in building the roadway there from the stage station. By thls means one of the most difficult features con- nected with the making of an ideal place for spending the hot summer months in the Superstition mountains will have been accomplished.
 The exact number of cattle included in the transfer has not been learned, but the brand adopted by MT. Fraser was familiar one to cattlemen in this section, and a pleasing and uncommon sight for passengers coming from the big government works at Roosevelt to see large herds of sleek looking cattle bearing this brand within easy view of the stage. These cattle are a cross be- tween the Durham and the Hereford breds, and they present a picturesque scene, grazing on the hillsides and ar royas of that locality. It Is probable that no finer beef cattle are grown in Arizona than these.
 It has not been learned what Mir. Fraser will devote his time to. He is one of the best known cattle men in this section of the southwest, and has been proprietor of the ranch which bore his name for years.

How to Find Out if the Kid neys Are Inactive and Tells of Home Made Remedy.

There are more cases of kidney trouble heresshowt -tlianeever before, while recent Arepotts show that mors people .succumb each year to some form of kidney disease than any oth- CT cause. 5i
 When there is sickness, examine the urine. Rheumatism is only q symptom of kidney trouble.

 Pains across the back, frequent painful and suppressed urination and other symptoms of weak bladder are not the only signs of kidney trouble; many cases of stomach disease, head ache, pain in the heart, inactive liver, etc, are but symptoms; the cause of which can be traced to feeble, clog ged kidneys,
 A simple test of the urine is to void a small quantity in a bottle or glass and let it stand over night; next morning, If there Is a reddish brick dust sediment, or white fleecy substance present, either consult some reputable physician or take a good vegetable treatment. The following prescription is recommended highly in these cases, and the sufferer can mix it at home: Compound Kargon, one ounce; Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces Shake well and use in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime.
 Where any of the symptoms emu merated above are present, good results are sure to follow immediate ly the use of this simple prescrip- tion.
