Mistake of the Majority.

The Mohave County Miner says: Last Wednesday the majority in the Arizona legislature rushed through the repeal of the public examiner aud rang. CT laws, being the result of a democratic caucus held few days before. The re- peal of these two laws is mistake of the majority in this legislature. Ari- zona needs the rangers and the public examiner. The law creating the public examiner was a good one, and the neces. sity of the office is apparent to every body. At its recent meeting the boards of supervisors of all the counties of the territory was of the opinion that the public examiner should stay. If the legislature did not want MT. Foster they did not have to confirm his ap pointment, but his office should have been maintained in the interests of the people and taxpayers of the territory The rangers were another necessity even if they were expensive. Last year they made, over one thousand arrests and their deterrent influence on crimt and criminals was incalculable

Modern Jean Van Jean.

In the person of D. H. Williams, for years respected citizen of Lowell. that the community has been enter taining unawares Jean Val Jean of real life. A reporter of the Review, working independently of thea police, and in the face of what really amount ed to their tacit opposition yesterday unearthed practically damning evidence that Williams, like Hugo's immortal convict, was living over the shoulder ing crater of a criminal past. Williams was arrested upon telegraphie advice from Sheriff R. l.. Stevens of Multono- nah county, Oregon. He professed as- tonishment at the event; and declared that he was more than willing to go any place in the country to prove his inno- eence of any crime against the law. That no fewer than four men in this vicinity had known for months that Williams was a hunted man was one of tho astonishing discoveries made, Ever since last November these men have been in communication with See retary J. NJ. Davis, of the International Brotherhood of Leather Workers of Portland, Ore, of which union Williams was once local treasurer, and from whom he is accused of stealing sl400 four years ago.

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 1t is weak.
 You must eat in order to live and maintain strength. You must not diet, because the body requires that you eat sufiic- lent 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 1t rest, end Kodol will do that.

'DOBE HOUSE BURNS WITH LOSS 0F
 sl,500
LOCATED NORTH OF TOWN TOO FAR TO BE REACHED BY
 FIRE COMPANY.

Fire, at S.30 o'clock last night, de- stroyed house in Lane street belong ing to celestino Agnetto and occupied by another Italian, Pete Chilistino. The loss was about $500, partially covered by insurance
 Owing to the distant location of the house, on a steep hill not far across the track from the shelter. it was i'm possible for the city fire department to render any assistance, the water mains not reaching that neighborhood, and the only means of fighting the flames were couple of garden hose which were very effective in protecting adjacent houses upon which large embcrs from the burning building were literally rain ing.
 Chilistino, who is single man, oecu- pying one room of the building, and renting the others to some of his coun- tryman, was at work in the Old Domin. ion mine at the time, but the fire start ed from defective stove pipe in one Eof the other rooms and practically all the contents of the house were saved, although the building itself, four room adobe affair, was completely guttcd, only the walls being left standing. A number of out.buildings were also de stroyed, and for while it looked as though the, house occupied by Nick Jasper, almost over the fire on the hill, was doomed to destruction, but the gar. den hose checked the fire nicely, while Jasper stood guard over his personal effects with rife, grim sentinel in the lurid fire light.

Says the, Miner: Wednesday last William Baily and a representative of one of the large iron works of Los An geles came in from Gold Road and de- parted for Los Angeles.

Grading for this mill is now in progress and within sixty days ma chinery for the mill will be assembled. The min will be one of the most com plete on the Pacific coast, being entirely automatic in its actions from the ore bins to the bullion furnace.
