Kingman must have hotel that
will meet the demands of the public,
the present hostelries being made
quate. There is not hotel in King
man owning or operating its own din
ing room, the kitchens being leased
to Chinese. A hotel having at least
100 rooms and dining room run along
the best modern lines is necessary TO
meet the requirements of a town of
the Importance of Kingman. Nightly
dozens of applicants for rooms are
turned away from the hotels and
people coming in on late trains have
to find their way the best they can
with their luggage to the antequated
lodging houses of the town. Now is
the time for the Chamber of Mines to
do its missionary work in behalf of a
hotel that will be hotel in fact and
not in name. The demands of an
hotel of high grade is Imperative to
the upbuilding and prosperity of the
town.

There is every prospect that the
Clark railroad will invade Mohave
county, passing through the northwest
part, near Littlefeld and across the
country to Moapa, where it will join
the already established road. The
recent washing out of the line from
above Calienta, throughout the Meadow
Valley Wash, compels the railroad
com pany to seek another route for the
road that will place it above the pos
sibility of washouts. To do this the
road will have to be laid across the
country in the south part of Utah,
crossing Washington county and
probably taking in st George and on
to Littleield, in the northwest corner
of this county, whence it will cross
Mesquite fats to Moapa. The road
would open up one of the greatest
agricultural sections of the state of
Utah and the only large agricultural
section of Mohave county. Surveyors
are already looking oyer thar part of
the country and il is believed that
their report will be favorable To the
st George proposition. The railroad
will be shortened a considerable dis
lance by the new route and will be one
of the best that could be found. If the
road is rebuilt over the Littlefield
route it is probable that branch will
be brought down through this county
and extended to Jerome, where Clark
has immense mining interests.

leading candidate for chief clerk of
the new senate is Fred Wylie. who
was second in the race two years ago.

rival of Wylie. AS a candidate for

field to himself for reelection as
chief clerk of the assembly, while

EX-MAYOR'S STORY STRANGE
George Becker, Former Exc cutive Of
Stoughton, Who Disappeared,
Found by Accident.

Stoughton.-Th story Of the dis
appearance and return Of EN-Mayor
George Becker of Stoughton is a
strange one.
Mr.. Becker left Stoushton two
years ago, no one knew where Since
then his whereabouts have been a
mystery, both to his many friends in
the city and to his wife, who finally
gave up hope of again seeing him
alive.
A few weeks ago, William Gould,
an old friend, was in Conway Springs,
Kas. He met there a building con-
tractor, who, changed as he was, he
believed to be the missing mayor,
although the man denied ever having
been in Wisconsin. Mr.. Gould sus-
pected him of being slightly mentally
unbalanced and wrote to friends in
this city A nephew was sent to
identify Mr.. Becker, and found it
was he.
Memories of his home in WiSCon-
sin We're recalled to Mr.. BcCkCr's
mind, and he was induced to return
to Stoughton.

BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

when our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what We
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor,
He said ii was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what 1t was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally ! got a set of the Cuticura
Remedies and | am pleased TO say
We did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited a year
and a half to see II 1t would return
but it never has and to-day his skin
Is clear and fair as 1t possibly could
be. | hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,

We pledge ourselves to the enact
ment of a law requiring the publica-
ton of a detailed statement of all
contributions and expenses both be-
fore and after the general election.
We favor the application of strict
business methods to the administra-

Use that we will carefully cause to
be investigated and examined the
books and records of the state for
the purpose of ascertaining whether
or not the funds of the state have
been lawfully expended.
Popular education being the only
safe basis of popular government and
the nursery of good government, we
pledge that our common schools and
higher institutions of education shall
always receive the fostering care of
the Democratic party.
The Democratic party always had
the interest of the laboring people at
heart and favor the enactment of a
law providing for industrial insurance
which shall justly compensate en-

their employment.
We favor the enactment of a law
relative to the Improvement of public

The Democratic party as a matter
of history has been and is now OPP
posed to sumptuary laws and kindred
legislation which are an interference
with the individual rights and liber-

fundamental principles of the Demo-

rights of others, insures the highest
type of American citizenship, and the
best government.
In municipal affairs we favor the
largest measure of home rule consist
