gently appointed Superintendent of County Roads, was found dead Wednesday night, fifteen miles from Concho in Apache county.
 Various rumors are in circula- ton as to the cause and circum. stances of his death, and until some who have gone there re- turn, the facts in the case will not be definitely known. Var ious rumors are in circulation and opinion seems divided as to whether 1t YVES murder or acci- dental death.
 When the body was found Wednesday night by some Mexi- can sheep herders. who claim they were attracted to the scene by the sound of a shot, 1t was at a point where Smith is supposed to have camped for the night. A bullet wound in the forehead and a Winchester rife close by the body presented the only evil dence on which theories might be established. The fact that the body and gun were close to a tree at the base of which dent was found in the ground, pre- sumably made by the stock when set down against the tree, causes a general belief that the gun was discharged accidentally in that way, or else while it was being taken from one of the pack ami mals which stood near the body only partly unloaded.
 Smiths carefulness and long experience Tn handling firearms causes many ot his friends to be. lieve that his death was not the result of accident, but the victim of cold blooded murder. Moth ing, however, i'll the shape ot  satisfactory evidence h a yet been attributed to warrant the murder theory. Old timers are frequently the victims of their own carelessness in handling weapons, and in the absence ol evidence that would support a different conclusion, the theory of accidental death will mos likely be accepted.
 It is reported that Sheriff Syl. vester Peralta of Apache county, after visiting the scene with a party of citizens, impanneled a . coroner's jury, which rendered a verdict assigning accident as the cause of death.
 The body was brought to Concho and from there was taken to Snowflake, the home ol the deceased. The funeral is ex. peeted to take place today.
 H. B. Smith, or lily" as he was familiarity called. is well known in Apache and Navajo counties for, though only thirty-seven years of age, he has spent most of his life in Northern Arizona. He was a son of Lot Smith, oi pioneer days, and brother-ln- law of Judge R. C. Smith of Hol. brook. From 1902 to 'O4 he served as county supervisor and in January last was appointed by the county board to the.new. ly created position ot superin tendent of roads.

 'DRY" LEGISLATION

Assessment and Collection of Taxes to be Made in
 Spring Instead of Fall.

Winslow Arizona, March IS, 19l0.- A postponed regular meeting of the common council was held Monday evening with all mem bers present except Aid. Tender son, who is confined to his home by sickness. When adjournment subject to call was taken at the meeting held March 1, 1t was be- cause of the absence of District Attorney Geary, whom they de- sired to consult before taking action on the question of declar- ing vacant the offices of city clerk and marshal and the making of appointments to those offices.
 Tho the district attorney re- turned to the city few days fol- lowing that meeting and was present at the meeting Monday night, his opinion on the subject was not solicited or expressed, from which fact it may be as stunned that the council does not wish to take any action in the matter and will await the con- ing election to remedy the trou bles complained of.
 The Hamilton. Owens bill which recently passed the Senate and is now in the House, was taken up and generally discussed. This bill, designated as Senate Bill 1881, would, if it becomes a law, prohibit the selling of liquor within twenty-five miles of an Indian reservation or Indian school. The w. C. T. U. is said to have been instrumental in securing it's passage in the Sen ate and so quietly was it done that nearly two weeks elapsed before it's full import was gener- ally understood. Its effect would be to make [" dry -" the entire county of Maricopa, and with few exceptions, nearly all the important cities and towns in the territory, including Winslow.
 The revenue derived by Wins low from local dispensers ot liquor amounts to about $4,OOO annually, and as the aldermen believed that this consideration alone would warrant their mak- ing a protest, the following tele gram, upon motion ofAld. Kelly seconded by Aid Bauerbach, was prepared and sent to Delegate Cameron:
 Hon. Ralph Cameron, House of Representatives, Washingt on D. C.-The city council of Wins low, Arizona, asks you to worl against Owens prohibition bill Passage of that bill will ruir Winslow City Council of Wins low-By Geo. F. Schaal, Mayor
 Another important action o the council was the amendmen of section of ordinance No. 23 by which the time for the assess pnent and collection of taxabl property within the corporat limits of the town is changed t' March instead of September a formerly. By this ordinance a amended, the Town Clerk is di rected to commence the assess ment on the second Monday {, March in each year, and sue assessment list shall be returne not later than forty days fror that time. Upon expiration ( said forty days, the town counc will meet on the first Monday ( May as board of equalizatio and will hear all objections t such assessments, making sue adjustments as the merits ( cases require.

The combination of his fine, clear voice
and the melodious songs he chose won
the hearts of his auditors at once.
Mrs, Annie Taylor Johnson as a

the accompaniment deserves as much
praise as the words and costumes.

LET YOUR STOMACH HAVE
ITS OWN WAY
Do Not Try to Drive and Force 1t to Work
When 1t Is Not Able You VIII
Suffer All the More.

You cannot treat your stomach as
some men treat a balky horse; force,
drive or even starve 1t into doing work
at which it rebels. The stomach is a
patient and faithful servant and will
stand much abuse and i'll treatment
before it "balks," but when it does
you had better go slow with it and not
attempt to make it work. Some people
have the mistaken idea that they can
make their stomachs work by starving
themselves. They might cure the
stomach that way, but 1t would take
so long that they would have no use
for a stomach when they got through.
The sensible way out of the difficulty
is to let the stomach rest if it wants
to and employ substitute to do its
work.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do
the work of your stomach for you and
digest your food just as your stomach
used to when 1t was well. You can
prove this by putting your food in a
glass jar with one of the tablets and
sufficient water and you will see the
food digested In just the same time
as the digestive fluids of the stomach
would do it. That will satisfy your
mind. Now to satisfy both your mind
and body take one of Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets after eating@-eat all and
what you want-and you will feel in
your mind that your food is being di-
gested because you will feel no dis
turbance or weight in your stomach; in
fact, you will forget all about having
stomach, just as you did when you
were healthy boy or girl.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act in a
natural way because they contain only
the natural elements of the gastric
juices and other digestive fluids of
the stomach. 1t makes no difference
what condition the stomach is in they
go right ahead of their own accord and
do their work. They know their busi-
ness and surrounding conditions do not
influence them in Ihe least. They thus
relieve the weak stomach of all its
burdens and give it its much-needed
rest and permit it to become strong
and healthy.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at so cents a box.
They are so we'll known and their pop-
ularity is so great that a druggist
would as soon think of being out of
alcohol or quinine as of them. In fact,
physicians are prescribing them all
over the land, and If your own doctor
is real honest with you he will tell you
frankly that there is nothing on earth
so good for dyspepsia as Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets

SAN PEDRANS WILLING TO
AWAIT MUNICIPAL FERRY

SAN PEDRO, Nov. 22.-After
spirited debate lasting over two hours
the chamber of commerce voted to-
night tc accept the proposal of the
board of public works to continue the
ferry service of the San Pedro Trans
portation company for the present in
lieu of a 2-cent municipal ferry prom
ised by the consolidation agreement.
The resolution adopted accepts the
proposal of the board with the under
standing that Los Angeles is not to
be released from her pledge except
until such time as funds are available
to establish a municipal ferry. 1t was
announced tonight that mass meet
ing of citizens will be called to take
action on the proposal
Under the terms of the proposal the
San Pedro Transportation company is
to give a 2-cent fare on fifty-ride COM
mutation tickets with thirty day
limit, single and other fares to remain
at the present rates. The single fare to
East San Pedro is now 5 cents and to
Terminal Island 10 cents.

MAN DEAD FROM
KICKS; WIFE MAD
Victor HoIinghaus Found Corpse
at Home with Insane
Spouse Seated Near

Mystery surrounds the death of Vic
tor Holinghaus, who passed away Mon
day, evening at his home. Roselle and
Shorb avenues, near Latin Station,
and whose wife passed last night in
the insane ward of the county hos
pital, strapped to her bed, raving
maniac. Holinghaus died from rup-
ture of the stomach and liver, said to
have been produced by series of
blows or kicks which the man is
thought to have received in Los An
geles where he was employed. An
autopsy performed on the body yes
terday morning by DR.. A. L. Holcomb
Of Compton revealed the cause OF
death, but the authorities have been
unable to ascertain how the man met
with his injuries.
Holinghaus lived remote from his
neighbors and seemingly had few
friends. Yesterday no one could be
found who knew where he had been
employed in Los Angeles or in what
trade. His wife, who might have
thrown some light on the mystery, has
been slightly deranged, it is said, for
some time past. Following her hus-
bands death she became violently in
sane.
about the usual hour Monday evening.
He was noticed on the car by wo-
man who lives not far distant from
the HolinghauS home. She says that
he appeared to be suffering and that
he put his head down on the seat of
the car. - She asked him what the
trouble was and he replied merely that
he was lawful sick" Both alighted
at Latin station and the man made his
way to his home.
MAN DEAD ON FLOOR
Later a doctor was sent for. The
physician, however, did not reach the
house until some three hours after
ward, and when he arrived found Hol-
inghaus dead upon the floor. his wife,
apparently unconcerned. sitting in a
chair near by. City Marshal j. B.
Traughber of Watts was notified, and
after questioning Mrs. Holinghaus took
her into custody. Yesterday morning
he brought her into Los Angeles, where
she was arraigned on an insanity COM
plant, her hearing being set for Fri
day. The woman was then sent to the
county hospital. Quiet enough until
then, she became violently insane on
the way to the hospital and had to be
restrained Last night it was found
necessary to strap her into bed to pre-
, vent her doing herself an injury.
1.-THE only thing Mrs. dollhSnaus
could tell me-" said Marshal Traugh--
ber last night, was that her huspand
had come home from his work, had
drunk cup of tea and then had fallen
dead Immediately afterward. The wom-
an was plainly deranged, and SO took
her into custody"
All sorts of rumors circulated In
Watts and Compton yesterday regard
ing the Holinghaus case, which was the
principal topic of conversation in the
communities. One story had it that
the man had been poisoned; another
that he had been stabbed. DR.. Hol-
comb, however. is steadfast in his as
sertion that there was. no wound upon
the body and no traces of any poison in
the stomach. The body was taken to
the undertaking parlors of s. M. Bise.
where the autopsy was performed. Mr..
Bise bears out DR.. Holcomb In his
statement. but says that there was a

st don't know what occasioned these
bruises" he said, "but it must have
been either severe blows or kicks. They
could scarcely have been sustained &C
cidentally. The autopsy disclosed rup-
lures of both the stomach and liver
and 1 only wonder that the man sus-
vived to reach his home, as he must
have been hurt before boarding the car
in Los Angeles. The woman who no
ticed him on the car says he got on at
Sixth street and seemed to be very Ill
at the time. It's wonder he was able
to get on at all, and almost miracle
he lived to reach his home"
The Los Angeles police are investt-
eating the case.

On Naming the canteloupes.

| The department of agriculture has
 cannot be lawfully applied to melons
 other than those grown at Rocky Ford, Colorado. The ruling was made on
 the 18th instant by Secretary Wilson. in accordance with decision reached by the board of food and drug in- spection of his department. This de- cision is the result of complaints made
 by melon growers of Rocky Ford. who
 set forth that various communities in
 the United States have fallen into the
 habit of shipping canteloupes de-
 scribed as Rocky Fords." thus les sening the value of the distinctive de-
 scription formerly given to the Colo
 rado product alone. The decision was reached in construing a regulation un-
 der the pure food and drug act which declares that the use of a geOgraph- ical name shall not be used in con nection with food product not pro- duced at the place named. provided that the use of the geographical name shall not be deemed a misbranding when by long usage. it is used to in dicate style, type or brand. Of the Rocky Ford melon the board states that it is not a new variety of melon. but is one of the older varieties which in the environment of Rocky Ford has attained special excellence. It is held that the term Rocky Ford has not become sufficiently generic to in- dicate a type, style or brand of mel ons, and can only be properly applied to the product of the restricted area of the Rocky Ford district: and that inasmuch as the description Rocky Ford has become associated with melon of peculiar excellence of cer- tain geographical locality. it is unlaw- full to sell interstate commerce melons not grown in the Rocky Ford district if they are branded Rocky Ford melons.
 So far as Arizona is concerned. Rocky Ford is welcome to all the val uable advertising it will get from this decision of the department of agri- culture. It long ago became estab- lished that the canteloupes grown in the Salt River valley are equal. if not superior, to the Rocky Ford product. and our melon growers will be more than content to ship their product under an Arizona name.

Sauce for the Packer Goose.

| A dispatch from St. Joseph. Mis- ! proceeding in the courts of that city | Some time ago an employe of a pack , ing company was convicted of em-
 bezzling the sum of $10,O00, and he I awaits sentence to the penitentiary for his crime. IL developed that with l the money embedded the man engaged 1 in real estate speculations. and that | the property purchased with the stO- len money is now worth $25,000. In
 a civil action against him, the pack ing company demands not only the return of the original sl0.000, but
 seeks to gain all of the real estate, on
 the theory that it is entitled to the
 profits gained from the use of its
 money The convicted criminal rather
 plaintively claims that if he must go to prison and repay the stolen money
 besides, his family should be permitted
 to enjoy the profits of his specula-
 tions.
 Common sense is on the side Of the packing company's contention, it would
 seem. On no hypothesis of equity is the convicted embezzler entitled to the fruits of his crime.
 This unique suit is of interest chief ly in it's obvious suggestion of possi- bilities in other directions. We don't know whether this particular pack ing company of St Joe is a member of the packers trust. But certain members of the alleged trust are un- der indictment at Chicago. Not long ago they were indicted under the laws of New Jersey. also; and in New Jer- sey some of them have pleaded guilty and paid heavy fines. Now, the fact of the unlawful combination having been established by these pleas of guilty, and it being certain. therefore. that the trust has wrongfully taken money from the public. what would be wrong in a requirement. that the guilty packers submit to an account ing and a restitution of the profits obtained? The analogy be- tween the St Joe case and the hypo- thetical case of the packers trust ap- pears to be logical.

Advising Mir. Rockefeller How to
 Spend His Fortune.

The public seems, to fhave accepted the proposed Rockefeller foundation as an undertaking devised in good faith for. the distribution of the enor- nous Rockefeller fortune for the good of humanity It being taken for granted that the trustees of the foun- dation will, as one of them has stated, avoid the channels of charity and philanthropy already worn smooth and deeply cut by the contributions of smaller givers," and that MT. Rocke- feller is too wise to pauperize his fellow-citizens by innumerableS direct gifts of money, the New York Tribune undertook to obtain from representa- tive men of the various walks of life their views as to the wisest method of distributing this inconceivably vast fortune. Among the large number of suggestions printed by the Tribune we note these:
 That tremendous benefits might be conferred upon the human race by borings toward the center of the earth until a aSpoint might be reached where the intense heat, which science as- serts exists there, could be tapped and a way found to use this mighty reservoir of dynamics for furnishing mower and light and warmth to man. kind.
