d surgeon on the Allen line of steam ships running between Montreal and Liverpool. He was also for a time surgeon on the Cunard line
 He came to Arizona, it is under stood. in 1872, settling in Wicken- burg, where he pracficed medicine for some time. About 1875. when Phoe- nix was only five or six years old. he moved from Wickenburg to this city, where he established practice, short ly after, opening a drug store. As years rolled by he finally built what is known as the Thibodo block. now leased by P. T. Hurley. and gave up practice entirely, confining himself tO the conduct of his store.
 About ten years ago he sold out his store, moving with his wife to Los Angeles, where brother. also practicing physician. had lived for many years. Later they returned to Phoenix and stayed d year or SD, then returned to Los Angeles. retiring from business entirely and selling most of his Phoenix property except the Thi- bodo block, which he retained until his death.
 Mrs Thibodo, d most excellent wo- man. to whom he was devoted. died about year ago, and since then his life has been rather a lonely one, made more so about three months later by the death of his brother in Los Angeles. Though his death comes as d sudden shock to his old Phoenix friends, it was not unexpected, by reason Of his age and the sorrows at tending the passing in quick success sion of those who were nearest and dearest to him.
 He was an honored member of the Odd Fellows fraternities and was a charter member of the grand lodge of Arizona. It is quite likely the funeral will be held and interment made in Los Angeles, which he has in hter years regarded as his home.
 During his life here pr. Thibodo- at one time or another owned consider able property and as an illustration of the change in values in later years it is recalled that he once sold what is known as the Y. NJ. C. A. block for $500.
 Though Dr ThibodO was always regarded as one of the leading ciu- zens of Phoenix during his residence here. he was retiring in his habits and temperament and seldom par ticipated in public affairs as leader though he could always be depended upon to do his part in whatever was needful for the upbuilding of the town or the bettering of conditions. He was a most kindly person. willing at all times to give ear to friends kho sought his advice or counsel, and though he had no children. he was loved and respected by all who knew him. both young and old. having friendly smile at all times for those who knew him.

More Than Ever
Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
 Since Leaving Off Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who have mental work tO perform. day af- ter day, have found better capacity and greater endurance by using Post um Instead of ordinary coffee. An H. linois woman writes.
 "I had drank coffee for about twenty years, and finally had what the doctor called coffee beart.' was nervous and Extremely Respondent; had little mental or physical strength left, had kidney trouble and constipation.
 The first noticeable benefit derived from the change from coffee to Post um was the natural action of the kid neys and bowels. In two weeks my heart action was greatly improved and my nerves steady.
 Then I became less Respondent. and the desire to be active again showed proof of renewed physical and mental strength.
 'I am steadily gaining in physical strength and brain power. l formerly did mental work and had to give it up on account of coffee but since using Postum I am doing hard mental labor with less fatigue than -ver gefore."

| ing since Tuesday night. Ii is hard tO say whether Kelly of
 Kelly & Rowe. or Harding of Harding X Wasson, is the better comdian. Both
 are great and certainly get the ap-
 plause with the laughs. Last night Mir 1 Kelly appeared as a tramp and told d few stories that simply cOnvulsed ! his audience with laughter. His flea song is just about as good as anything
 in that line of comedy ever heard here. Miss Rowe. his partner is pretty sweet little maid who came out last evening in juvenile costume and won all hearts. Her song. Cutie" which has never been heard here. made one big hit.
 Harding & Wasson's act consists of comedy, songs and dances. This is an exceedingly clever pair. They have ap- peared in some of the biggest vaude- , vile houses of the country and are known as one of the best teams in the business.
 Logan & Conaway. .-the beautiful sis ters, put on several new dances, sung some new songs and gave d fine eXhi- bition of fencing.
 Too much cannot be said of the pie lures at the Coliseum at this time: The cowboy picture which was run through last night is quite realistic.
