Acid Dyspepsia
Nervous People Are Frequent Suffer
ers From Too Much Hydrochloric
Acid in the Stomach.
A Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets Sent Free.

s'Sour stomach or acid dyspepsia,
is a form of indigestion in which en-
t.rely too much hydrochloric acid is
secreted by the stomach. A sour taste
in the mouth is the most common
symptom of acid dyspepsia; and the
saliva, which is normally alkaline. is
found, when tested. to be changed to
acid, or just the opposite of what 1T
should be. and in a state OF the secre-
ton which causes rapid and extern
siye destruction of the teeth.
Everything eaten turns more or less
sour in the stomach. but sweets and
acid fruits are far worse In this re-
spect than other foods. If the eruc-
tation of liquids from the stomach &C.
ours, they have such, an extremely sour
taste as to set the teeth on edge.
Hydrochloric acid is an important
constituent in the gastric juice. but
when too much of it is secreted, 1t does
positive harm to the mucous lining of
the stomach: and when acid dyspepsia
is long continued it often sets up
chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer and
other serious diseases The premature
loss of all the teeth has been caused
by acid saliva. which was dependent
upon the excessively acid condition of
the stomach

Gabriel Strang, it appears, lived in
Ggonier, Ind, since his boyhood and

Since Strang has been imprisoned

ago, presented the Grand Rapids public
library with a collection of rare his

past have also found that is the same
man who, moved by the ambition of a
young girl who was anxious to secure
an education but whose family were
unable to send her to college, himself
paid her expenses through the Ypsilanti
Normal school and later through a coll

These and many other stories of

Sanford Dodge and Company.

The Sanford Dodge company ap-
peared in its opening engagement
Tuesday evening with 'The Gladi-
ator." On account of the passenger
train being reported several hours
late the attendance was not what a
show of this class deserves. How
ever, the company played its best
and those who attended were well
pleased. On last night the attend
ance was much better, when Mr..
Dodge and his excellent company
played "Othello," Shakespeare s
great drama.
With Sanford Dodge as Othello, the
Moor, and a strong supporting COM
pany, the rendition was very credit
able. Almost everyone is familiar
with this especially, among all of the
great plays written by the great
master of the drama.
The scenes were very beautiful, be-
ing laid in Venice and on the Island
of Cypress, and to this was added the
charm of the fifteenth century COS
tunes, rich in texture and color.
Mr.. Dodge gave a very good por-
trayal of the character of Othello-
humble and devoted in his love,
brave and fearless in battle, but in
nis jealous anger, aroused by the
subtle poisons of Sago's cunning, a
very demon.
The character of Iago is master
piece of the most refined villany that
has ever been conceived by the mind
of man. He succeeds in deceiving
everyone with whom he is associated.
Honest Iago'' all believe him to be
until in the final scene his black vii
lany is uncovered and even then his
fiendish triumph over his accom-
plished purpose is depicted in his
countenance. The part was well
played by George C. Somnes.
After playing at Morenci Thursday
and Friday nights, Mr.. Dodge will re-
turn to Clifton for Saturday evening
when he will play Faust" at the
Academy opera house. The show
will be conducted as a benefit under
the auspices of the Clifton union
high school. The children will sell
tickets during the next two days.
This company is one of the best of
it's class that has ever visited Clifton
and Mr.. Dodge usually gives perfect
satisfaction wherever he goes.

New Pipe Line For A. c. Company.

The Arizona Copper company is
just in receipt of a shipment of
.creosoted wood thing which will be
used In the construction of a new
aume from the concentrating depart
ment to the salt water reservoir a
short distance below the company
dam across the San Francisco river
The new line will have an inside
measurement of twelve inches, the
inside being wood and the outside
covered with a heavy coat of creo-
sote, giving it a lasting quality for
the handling of salt water. The OBJ
ject in installing this new line is to
secure a supply of clear water to the
concentration during the rainy season
when the water in the river is too
muddy for convenient use. The COM
pany has a well and pump near the
reservoir, which hold sufficient water
to meet all demands. The line will
be installed at once and will be ready
for use before the rainy season ap-
breaches, which as general thing
occurs the latter part of July.

The Deputy Assessor.

John j. Birdno, assessor OF Graham
county, has appointed James H. Kerby
deputy assessor for the entire portion
of what will be Greenlee county when
county division takes place. The
district comprises Clifton, Morenci,
Metcalf, Duncan, and all other small
towns. In selecting Mr.. Kerby Mr..
Birdno used good judgment, as he is
thoroughly acquainted in the new
county and knows nearly ali of the
property as well as if it were his own.
He will be in a position to judge the
property of its true value and there
should be no kicking this year like
there was last year. He will do all
of the work himself, hence he will be
responsible for what is done. Mr..
Birdno will look after the company
assessments himself.
While Mr.. Kerby is taking the as
sessment of Clifton it might sage the
town of Clifton some money to ar
range with him to take the town as
sessmeut at the same time, as all he
will have to do is to make duplicate.

Knights of Pythias Lodge Busy.

Clifton Lodge No. II, Knights of
Pythias is making arrangements
whereby it is to become the owner of
valuable piece of property in South
Clifton which will be used in the
future for a lodge hall. The lodge
will take up the property at an early
date and as soon as convenient it will
erect a building on the ground. The
matter is in the hands of a live COM
mittee and the members of the lodge
are exercising much interest in rails
ing the funds which will be an easy
matter. Clifton lodge has been a
permanent fixture in Clifton during
the past thirteen years and it is
among the first lodges of the camp
to take the initial step of providing
for its own home. Clifton lodge will
hold its regular meeting tomorrow
evening, at which the matter of the
new home will be thoroughly discuss
ed. All members of the lodge are
requested to be present and take
part in the proposition.
The property which the lodge will
take over is between the Fraser and
Dunn property and is one of the best
sites in Clifton for Pythian hall.

Pioneer Passes Away.

On last Sunday morning, at her
home in Thatcher, death claimed
one of the pioneers of Graham
county, Mrs. Webster, who spent the
greatest portion of her life in this
county and whose friends and &C
quaintances extend all over its boun-
DIARIES. She was one of the grand
old persons who was loved by all who
knew her kind heartedness and deep
consideration Of her many friends
and neighbors. Besides leaving sew
eral daughters, she leaves four sons
who are prominently known in this
county as follows: George and
Reece, of Clifton, and Oscar and
Frank, of Thatcher.
Deceased reached ripe old age
and her death was due principally to
that cause. She has been feeble for
some time and for several weeks be-
fore her death she was in d critical
condition, hence her death was not a
surprise to her closest friends. The
ERA joins many friends in expressions
of sympathy to the bereaved family.

opinion that the membership will in

young or old man belonging to the
Catholic denomination are eligible to
join the club. 1t is reported that
when the furnishings are completed
the club will give an opening to
which friends will be inyifed. A pro-

Football Between Clifton and Bisbee.

Clifton and Morenci people will
have an opportunity of seeing one of
the most interesting matches in foot
ball ever pulled off in the southwest
when the crack Bisbee team visits
this section. The Clifton game is
scheduled for Saturday afternoon,
March 18th, and the Morenci game
Sunday afternoon. Bisbee is the
team which Clifton defeated two
stra. ght games on their own field
+ and 21. Such lowscores indicate
that both teams are evenly matched
and as Morenci beat Clifton in the
last game there is no reason to
expect anything hut red hot con-
test. Both Clifton and Morenci have
been putting in considerable time at
practice and will be in the best of
condition for the game.
1t must be remembered that the
Clifton and Morenci teams are com
PEELED to guarantee d considerable
sum of money for expenses in order
to pull off these games and the pub
lie is cordially requested to help the
sport by attending the game. The
boys are now selling tickets and re-
port that they are meeting with
some success, though it will require
the sale of a large number of tickets
to pay actual expense for twelve
men. This will be the first attempt
