MORE MEN ACCUSED
PITTsBuRe GRAND JURY HANDS DOWN ANOTHER BATCH OF
 INDICTMENTS.
BIG CHAPTERS NOT NAMED YET
pr. E. R. Walters, a Leading Member of Mayor Msgee's Cabinet. Among the Last Ones to be Accused-Is Prominent Socially.

pittsburg, Pa. Apr 1.-The grand jury which has been investigating the councilmanic graft cases sent broad side into the ranks of this system by handing down 16 more indictments against councilmen who are alleged to have sold their honor and votes for money. Five of these indicted are members of the present city council.
 The sensation of this lot of indict- ments, however. was the introduction of the name of Dr. E R. Walters, now head of the department of health and charities and leading man in the cabi- net of Mayor Magee. The grand jury, iu indicting Walters. insists 1t has proof that while he was president of the Pittsburg council he solicited and accepted bribe of $l.00o for his vote in council. This is by far the largest price yet alleged to have been paid to any councilman. The bribery is all legged to have occurred in 1908.
 The grand jury hands down list of prices received by the different coun. cslmep indicted. The list of indict- ments and the sums alleged to have taken are as follows:
 Dr. F. R. Walters. $1.000; T. O.. Atkinson. $500; F. ]. Edwards, $500; P. ]. Kearns. $500: P. A. Manion, $500; John Mccartney, s250; William Me Kelvey, $500; Samuel Porter, $s50; Charles c. Schad. s250; ]. F. 6emmel- rock. s250: c. D. Tilbury. s200; w. H. Weber. s250; John J. Hughes, s25o; Isaac Libson. s250, and 8. c. Lennox. $500.
 Dr. Walters is prominent socially and he fairly roared when told of the indictment.
 q am honest and innocent and I'll make them prove that I am not" said he NO, won't resign: I'll fight them to the end
 Ex-Councilman Charles Stewart hhas confessed that he gave the money to the counciImen named In the indict ments.
 The grand jury made apparent head way in it's probe Sixteen members of the office force of the Farmers Deposit National bank appeared before the fury under the escort of detectives. a ,anltor being left in charge of the bank
 It is again promised that the names of the "big fish" in the graft probe will be made public soon.

little child. An eye witness des- cribes the occurrence as follows: This forenoon at the corner of Main and First street a Mexican cholo attacked young Cocopah squaw. She ran away from him, but not before he had slapped her two or three times. She was accompanied by large and heavily built squaw and a child. The three walked away from the Cholo and stopped to look at a window. Mir. Cholo was not satisfied and following them up, again slapped the young CT squaw. The old squaw took after him and grabbed him by the neck and his shirt and swung him through the air so that he brought up about ten feet distant. She then proceeded to go after, him and literally wiped up the sidewalk with him. He finally got 10 his feet and made fast time up Main street only to run into the arms of Constable Julio Martinez, and he was booked on a charge of assault under the name of Juan Doe and the case is set for nine o'clock to- morrow morning.

mesa will raise something besides oranges, lemons and alfalfa. As a matter of economy he makes it a practice of retaining some of the eggs from his mesa chicken yard for home consumption. Yesterday he discovered an extra large egg, and on breaking the outer shell discovered two eggs both perfect and one within the other The outer egg was formed around the inner one, and the inner egg had a perfect shell. Hubbard says that this egg episode puts the mesa ranch on par with the valley al- falfa growers that have been talk ing so much about bumper crops of alfalfa seed.
 Bisbee Review: Because of the disoontinuance of the store orders by the c. <. A. and the s. &. P. companies another arrangement is to be made by the first of the com ing month for the benefit of the Mexicans employed by these. com. panies so that they will not be placed in 8 position where they will be obliged to depend on their personal credit for a month at time. The above named companies employ only about seventy five Mexican laborers all told. The discontinuance of the orders might work hardship on these men and to prevent this plan is being devised which will soon be an nounced to remedy any trouble that would result from the dis continuance of the old order sys- tenn. Just what this plan is to be was not given out, but it is to be so arranged that the merchants with whom the Mexicans trade will be practically assured of a cash business.
 Bisbee Miner: Approximately 50,O00,000 savage mosquitoes are interfering with the work of the Western Union construction gangs in the neighborhood of Wilcox, and are threatening to have the life blood of every man who en- ters their domain. What is more, they are getting it. All of which can be vouched for by number of workers, who are coming into this city for some sleep and fresh sup ply of blood. The mosquitoes are of peculiar rabid variety. They are making life miserable for the telegraph builders, pestering the men at their work in the daytime and keeping them awake nearly all night. For this unpleasant condition an amateur lake, ten miles long and about two miles wide, formed by recent heavy rains, Is held indirectly responsible. It is situated near Wilcox, where the Western Union forces have been engaged recently in rebuilding long stretches of the telegraph line. The lake, it is stated, is of a peculiar nature, having no visible outlet or Inlet. It is anticipated that it will be exhausted only by evaporation before which event the telegraph builders believe the atmosphere Will become fairly alive with mos quitoes.

FRESH EGGS IN WINTER

The poultryman who can supply
fresh eggs in winter, when prices are
high, has a tremendous advantage
over the one who through ignorance
or neglect has to wait until summer,
when the supply is large and the
price low. Not everyone can do this,
and no one can do it unless he takes
proper care of his fowls and gives
them food containing the essential
egg producing ingredients which,
when running at large, the hens can
supply themselves to large extent
in summer There is no material bet
ter fitted for this purpose than Pages

WHY THEY FAIL
Most Pile Remedies Miss the Cause
Of Piles

Disagreeable treatment with ONT
ments or suppositories usually fails
to cure piles and cutting them OFF
won't remove the cause. Such treat
ment only moderates the outside eff
fects Of the disease and fails to rene
dy the inside cause. The up-to-date
doctors now use internal medicine,
to free the circulation in the lower
bowel, and so remove the disease.
