of county commissioners Monday
night, Chairman j. w. Cartel
deciding that it was a matter To-
the sheriff to decide. The Gala

CURING CATARRH
Accept Our Advice and Try
this Remedy at Our Risk.

Catarrh is disease of the mucous
membrane. The mucous membrane is,
one may say the interior lining of the
body. Catarrh therefore may exist in
any part of the system.
When the catarrhal poison attacks
the mucous membrane, Inflammation
and congestion are produced and nature
fails to throw off the accumulated
poisons. The organ which has been
afflicted ceases to perform its proper
function as nature intended it should.
The result is, complication upon COM
plication, which may lead to other even
more serious affections.
We honestly believe Rexall Mucu-
Tone will do wonders toward overcom-
ing catarrh. 1t is made from the pre-
scription of an eminent physician who
made a long study of catarrh, and his
great success with this remedy was an
enviable one.
We want you if you are a sufferer
from catarrh in any form, to give Rexall
Muco-Tone a thorough trial. Use it
with regularity and persistency for a
reasonable time, then if you are not
satisfied, come back and tell us, and
without question or formality we will
hand back to you every cent you paid
us. This is certainly the fairest offer
that any one could make and should
attest our sincerity of purpose. 1t comes
in two sizes, prices so cents and 81 90.
Remember you can obtain it only at

Mission at St. James.

The Mission held at St. James the
past week, was an unusual one in
many respects, The meetings we're
we'll attended from the very first, and,
although the services were longer than
usual, the interest never tagged.
The question-box proved a most
instructive and beneficial feature.
Mr.. DOan enunciated, so clearly and
so simply, the tenets of the church,
as we'll as her beautiful and impressive
ceremonials that many, both members
add non members, expressed them
selves as having better understand
ing of the Protestant Episcopal
Church than ever before.
The services were touchingly sweet
and spiritually instructive, and great
good must come from the untiring
efforts of the earnest rector of St.
James.

Weather.

On account of most disagreeable
weather there were only eleven present
at the called meeting of the Civic
League on Saturday afternoon. This
in no wise discouraged the ladies,
however, as evidences point to de-
termination in all Civic directions.
A report from the Civic League was
sent to the Convention in Athens last
week, and this alone is enough to
make every Civic League member feel
that she is part of that large, enthusi-
astic, working body.

IA BAD CHECK
 TRANSACTION Il Sudden and Unexp|ain,
 able Lapse From Virtue NO COMPLAINT FILED YET
And Probably None Will Be, Though the Attention of the Office of District Attorney Has Been Di- rected to Circumstance

R. c. Grimes. a member of the firm paper hangers. came near getting himself into serious trouble Sunday afternoon through couple of check transactions. From his actions of the afternoon it must be. judged that he was either drunk or out of his mind for the time being. No man in his right senses and who valued his lib- erty and the pursuit of happiness. would have dared take the chances he did. As near as can be learned from various stories of the affair that were current on the street yesterday. Mir. Grimes during the course of the after noon gave several checks signed by himself and secured the cash on them. There was of course no harm in that so long as the account was good for the amount drawn but he did not con fine himself to signing his own name to checks. it is said. ToyPrds even ing he presented check at Harmers . drug store. drawn in his favor on q Phoenix bank for s35 and signed 'B. Moore" MT. Harmer accepted his
 
 ficient guarantee of the face value of the check and being busy at the time thought very little of the circum- stance until later in the evening. It Is said that Mir. Grimes wrote out the check in question and signed it ''B. Moore" in the presence of one or two people who little thought he would at tempt to negotiate it. Upon learning that it had been cashed. one of these parties assumed the responsibility Of the matter to the extent of guarantee ing payment of the check.
 The affair created quite little commotion in local circles Sunday evening and about nine o'clock. Mir. Grimes was placed in jail. not under arrest but merely for safe keeping for his own good. He had nothing to say regarding the incident of the after noon and had no money about his per son. Yesterday morning he told where the money realized on the Moore check could be found It was located where he indicated and Mir Farmer was paid the face of the check Mir. Grimes was held by the marshal until half past eight yesterday morn ing and no complaint having up to that time been lodged against him. he was released from custody
 The matter was brought to the at tention of the district attorney by Justice of the Peace Carr and what the subsequent development may bc remains to be seen. What possessed the painter to act as hc did ia s rnys- tery to his friends here. He has been in business here now for nearly a year and has been apparently prospecting There is ITO real good explanation of his sudden lapse from virtue

The end came peacefully yesterday morning and the young man was conscious up to within few hours of his death.

IA SUNDAY TRIP ID
 THE DAM AND BACK
Two Tempe Parties Made the Trip
 There and Back in One Day.

Two parties made quick run to the Roosevelt dam and back Sunday and spent enough time at the dam site to look things over there pretty thor oughly too.
 The Ahlquist and company Stude- baker car with Mir. Ahlauist at the wheel carried Filing OIeson and Mrs. Sara I. Weir. Mrs. Carl Gustafson and Mrs. Ahlquist. Phoenix car took Mir. Oleson's three sons and Herman Sedig
 The start was made from Tempe about 6:30 Sunday morning and the dam was reached in season for dinner The carly part of the afternoon was spent in looking over the dam and an hour or so was spent in the power house. The return trip was not start cd until late in the afternoon and Government Wells was reached just at dark. The rest of the run on the level ground was made without diffi- culty in the dark
 Aside from a few blowouts. no dif- ficulty of any sort was experienced on the trip. The hot desert roads seem to play havoc with the tires. The inner tubes became so hot that blowouts are frequent. However the machines were prepared for accident of that kind wsh extra tires and tubes and very little delay was caused by those minor ac- cidents. There has been little or no rain along the road for some time now and 1t is in rather dusty condition and hardly suitable for fast running.
