ITO Rock Island to trade.
They will bring more country pro-
duce, now secured only By q long
wagon haul, and make the cost of Nv
ing less.
By creating more business and max

they will help to increase the popula-

for property and advancing its price.
They VIII more than double the

Therefore get interurbans Do not
allow the belt line to slip nor the pro-
lposed lower end road to make its ter
minal elsewhere. It is a matter which
concerns not only every business and
professional man, but every property
owner can well afford to give money
and personal attention to It.
If this opportunity is ignored we
may as well cease trying to draw

are compelled to go out of the county

market for their produce and to pur-
chase their supplies. Naturally they
would prefer to come here, other
things being nearly equal.
Muscatfne Shows How.
Muscatine is to be commended for
the enterprise it has shown and is
still showing. The example is one
that Rock Island will do well to fol-
low. The Iowa town, originally handi-
capped by the board Mississippi and
miles OF swamp on the Illinois side,
years ago built the high bridge and
toll road at great expense to induce
the farmers to come In to trade, and
they have been coming ever since,
notwithstanding the high tolls that are
charged them. Now that there is a
prospect of getting a more improved
lmethod of transportation Muscatine is
alive to the situation and ready to
offer any reasonable inducements to
secure them. When the meeting was

TRUTH ABOUT CATARRH
Sensible Methods will Cure it. III. o.
Rolls Guarantees Hyomel to
Cure Catarrh.

Catarrh can never be cured by TAX
ing medicines into the stomach nor by
sprays. atomiZers or douches.
Intelligent physicians have long ago
discarded such ideas and not one Of
them would be worth consideration
were 1t not for the fact that unscrup-
ulous persons prey upon the ignorance
of the people in regard to new dis
coveries.
Catarrh is caused by germs and just
as long as these germs thrive in the
folds. crevices, hooks and corners Of
the mucous membrane that line the
nose, throat and chest, just so long
will you have catarrh.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrh. and that is to kill the germs.
There is only one remedy that VIII
kill the germs when it gets where the
germs are, and that is HyOmei.
Hyomei Is made chiefly from Aus
tralian Eucalyptus and Eucalyptol
combined with other germ killing anti
septics. Just breathe it in through the
hard rubber inhaler that comes with
each outfit and relief is immediate.

Men Are as Helpless
as Children
WHEN TAKEN SUDDENLY ILL -
HERE is A COMMON-SENsE
SAFEGUARD.

Big, strong man is as a helpless In
FAINT when he is suddenly i'll. The
sturdiest chap in town usually loses
his self-control, and is utterly unable
to regard his condition with the COM
mon sense that characterizes his ev-
eryday actions.
For example: He comes home tired,
eats heavy dinner. and sits down to
read and smoke away quiet evening.
Suddenly he notices a weight on his
stomach; then sharp pains around his
heart, and a feeling of sufrocation.
Thoughts Of heart disease" rush over
him, and In his agony he fears the
worst.
His trouble was acute indigestion
brought on by overlooking his tired
stomach.
A couple Of Dyspepsia Tablets would
have given him instant relief-would
have saved him hours of suffering.
Garry a package of Rexall Dyspep-
sia Tablets in your vest pocket, or
keep them in your room. Take one
after each heavy meal and Indigestion
will not bother you.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets remedy
stomach troubles by supplying the one
element, the absence Of which in the
gastric juices causes indigestion and
dyspepsia. They aid the stomach to
digest food and to quickly convert 1t
into rich red blood and material nee
essary for overcoming natural body
waste.
We know what Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are and what they will do.
We guarantee them to relieve indiges-
ton and dyspepsia. If they fail, we
will refund your money. Three sizes:

does not relish being placed in the po-
sition of fault finder, but it must be
said that the circumstances were I'M
fortunate from the standpoint of this
city's best interests.
The city must maintain its CONNER
cial progress. 1t must defend its com
mercial rights. and right now there is
no better way to do both than by ges-
ting interurbans and providing them
with terminal facilities.

DWELLING BURNS
Home of o. o. Walker on Upper
Thirty fifth Street Is De-
stroyed.
ONLY A FEW PAPERS SAVED
Family Spending the Evening Out
and the Origin Is Matter of
Mystery.

Fire, which broke out about 8
o'clock last evening, completely de-
stroyed the dwelling and contents at
1924 Thirtyfifth street, the property
OF o. o. Walker, street railway con-
ductor on the Long View line. The
loss is about $500, two-thirds covered
by insurance.
There was nobody at the home ct
the time the fire started and the cause
is not known. There was a lighted
lamp in the living room but it was
still burning and was carried out by
Mr.. Walker, who was the first to see
the blaze and who arrived first on the
premises. Apparently the fire broke
out in the upper story, mice and
matches furnishing a possible solu-
ton.
Mrs. Walker was down town for the
evening and Mr.. Walker with the chill
dren had gone to a neighbours half
block away. Mr.. Walker first saw the
light OF the fire through the window.
and hurrying to his home was barely
in time to save his most valuable
papers, which were IN box on a shelf
in one OF the down stairs rooms. He
picked up the lamp as he went out 20

Save Only Charred Shell.
The fire department responded to
the alarm as promptly as possible. but
the burning building being at some
distance and on the blum. necessitatfng
an uphill run, the flames had made
such Roadway when water was finally
turned on that only the charred shell
Of the structure could be saved.
The loss is partly covered by insur-
ance, $500 on the house and $500 on
the contents, carried by the American
Insurance company of Newark, N. j..
through O. E. Hodgson's agency.

U. S. BONDS GO BELOW PAR

Demand for Money Puts Paper at
Discount First Time Since 1870.
The government bond market has
lately shown a decided tendency to-
ward weakness and more especially
the Panama issue. Under the pres
sure of continuous sales of small
blocks of bonds by national banks
government bonds have actually de-
clined under par. Sales of Panama Is
have been made within the last few

first time since 1879 that a United
States government bond with fixed
maturity has changed hands for less
than its face value.

SETTLEMENT OF BORN
 ESTATE YESTERDAY
(From Fridays Daily)

Among the important transactions before the probate court yesterday was the settlement of the Born estate.

 Mir. Born will be well remembered in Prescott, passing away a few months ago. He acquired many min ing claims in this section, and was regarded as a capable mining man. The above mining claims are said to be attractive properties.
 Other late transactions in the pro bate court were the following:
 Dr. R. N. Looney, administrator of the estate of Harmon Headt, de- ceased, filed a report showing the delivery of newly discovered prop erty of this estate to the heirs. An order was made discharging the ad ministrator and closing up the busi- ness.

G. H. BISHOP KILLS \ SUPPOSED
 MAD DOG
Animal Running Amuck With Signs of
 Rabies
(From Saturdays Daily)

While leaving his residence in the Carter tract, yesterday morning, q. H. Bishop, deputy county recorder, noticed dog approaching his home at a lively rate, and believing that it was mad. he shot and killed it. The animal was later examined, and its glands found to be swollen to an unusually large size, being evidently afflicted with rabies. Mir Bishop says that when he first saw the dog coming toward him its tongue was hanging out, and frothing at the mouth. It is MT. Bishops opinion that the animal was mad, or if not, that it had been bitten by hydrpho- bia skunk, several of which animals have been seen in that section.
 The dog killed was not recog- nized as belonging to anyone in that neighborhood. All animals owned there are being watched since this occurrence, for symptoms of hydro phobia.
 About two years ago a dog was found running at large to the south of the city, having like symptoms to the one killed yesterday, and it was killed. Later a calf was found dead in a gulch, and it was the belief that it had been bitten by this dog, there being no other marks other than a tooth incision, near the hoof.

"KID' BARRY EAGER ID FIGHT KID"
 KIRBY
Kingman Lad Accepts The Seattle Boys
 Challenge
(Frem Saturdays Daily)


 A mill is on the tapis between "Kid" Kirby of Seattle and "Kid'' Barry, now sojourning in Kingman both being of the lightweight divis- ion.
 About month ago Kirby drop ped into town from the northwest, for an outing in Arizona. In a short time he felt so rejuvenated that he concluded he would again don the gloves, and accordingly, pub lished a challenge for a 2O-round go with any man weighing 13O pounds or thereabOuts.
 "Kid" Barry read the "defi" at Kingman, and has written to Kirby accepting it, and offering to make a side wager on the outcome of $500 ringside weight of 133 pounds to be one of the conditions.
 The Seattle lightweight has been in the hills hunting for several days and when he returned yesterday he received the letter. The conditions suited him exactly, except that he demands a forfeit of $1OO be posted He wrote a letter to that effect last night
 Kirby is a man with quite a pugi listie pedigree. He came into prom thence three years ago, when he fought Perry Cole at Tacoma for C rounds, and got the decision. He met him again later at Everett, Wash, and trimmed him in three rounds.
 He took on "Kid" Bell and Kid" Dalton at Jeffries' arena, and recently he fought a twenty-round draw with Frank Carey in Pueblo, Colo.
 Barry is also promising young ster, and should the pair meet in the squared circle, an interesting bou, should be the outcome.
 Word comes to the Journal Miner that there. is an aspirant for pugil- istie honors at Ash Fork, who wants to take on Kirby. The latter says he will accommodate him or anyone else in these parts who tips the scales at about 13O pounds.

DIAMOND DRILL IS BEING USED ID
 ADVANTAGE
Arizona Empire Copper Company Anticipate
 Good Results

Diamond drill exploration is going on at the camp of the Arizona Elm pire Copper company, on Big Copper creek, near the Hassayampa river, on the properties of c. J. MeNulty. Twelve claims are under option te this company, and the intention is to thoroughly explore the ground by this method, and to a sufficient depth to form an exact rating of the entire zone.
 The machine was started a few days ago, and it is performing ex- cellent work. The greatest depth reached is 100 feet, and the showing IS said to be satisfactory.
 Mining men are following the op- erating of the drill with much in terest and several have been to see it as it bores into the ground, dem onstrating its ability to perform good work where a thorough examination of mineral conditions are desired. It's initial work is in a field that is as yet problematieal at great depth. In this particular instance the results are being awaited with the belief that a desirable mineral condition is in existence.
 Surface showings warrant the ex- tensive work going on and when the present efforts of this company term mate, the exact mineralogical make up of the many claims will be solved. It is the purpose of the company after the work on this group is finished, to move the drill to an- other portion of the field, and to continue prospecting.
 The introduction of the drill is the first attempt to utilize this method south of Prescott, in the Hassayampa district. The Empire people have a pretty camp on Cop per creek, and employ a force of sixteen miners.
 Ed. Tomlinson is in charge of the enterprise.

MEXICAN KILLED IN
 A DRUNKEN BRAWL

TUCSON, Ariz., July 28.-With his skull cracked and his scalp partially torn away, and with a bullet lodged beneath the skin of his chest, having plOwed its way through his arm and body, the remains of a Mexican sec tion hand, named Pedro Quiroz, are at the morgue of the Parker Under taking company, awaiting disposition, while his assailant or assailants are doubtless planning some effective means of escape. The man was at tackled some time Sunday night at Sibil, a small station east of Benson. He was brought to this city on No. v, Monday morning, and taken to St. Mary's hospital for treatment Death ensued shortly after 6 o'clock that evening.
 But meager details of the affair are known here, reports differing as to the tragedy. Authorities at this point are inclined to believe that QuirOs was attacked in a drunken brawl and left to die by his assail- ants. It is said that labor trouble led to the tragedy.
 Quiros was brought to this city for medical treatment. He was accom- panied by a railroad man, who could not give any details of the affair, for the reason that no one could be found who knew anything concerning the attack. Quiros, it is said, was found beside the railroad track, several hours after the attack.
 After his death. the affair was re ported to Coroner Dutton, and ar engagements are being made to in vestigate the affair thoroughly. It is likely that large array of Mexi- can witnesses will be subpoenaed to the inquest. The sheriff's office has taken up the affair, and a thorough investigation will be made from that point.
