MANY NEW MEMBERS
 FOR PHOENIX OWLS
Important Meeting Is Scheduled for Tomorrow Evening in MeIczer
 Hall.

It is reported that when Phoenix Nest, No 1888. Order of owls. meets tomorrow evening for the first time in MelcZer Hall. a substantial addition to the present membership will be effect ed through the presentation of a large number of new applicants for enroll ment. All the members have been vigorously at work the past week or two to the end that as many persons might be secured as new members as possible.
 The meeting of tomorrow evening will be of the utmost importance to the owls, in that it will be the last meeting at which enrolment may be made under the present dispensa- tion and the last meeting at which applicants for benefits in the death benefit fund may participate under the present assessment. Secretary Powell. at his office in the city water department, has been busy the past few days taking these applications for enrolment in this fund and already more than half the membership has been enrolled
 Besides acting on the new applica- tions and securing enrollments in the death benefit fund, there is much other important business to come before the Nest, and it is expected that tiiere will be a large attendance,

FRANK LATHAM HELD
 ON KIDNAPPING CHARGE
His Bond Was Fixed at Five Hundred
 Dollars.

Justice Parker yesterday held Frank Lapham to the grand jury on the charge of Kidnapping his brother. An son Lapham, with the intention of talk ing him te Chicago. The bond was fixed at $500. which was furnished at once by the mother of the defendant and others.
 This is about the most peculiar kid naping case on record. The defendant is l9 years of age and the brother 29. It is not contended that the brother is insane but that he is queer. Though no force was used in the Kidnapping and though the defendant was acting at the request of the mother of both, there was testimony to show that in timidation had been practised.
 One letter was introduced. It had been writteu by Anson Lapham to Dr w NJ Burke. The writer said: ''I have actually been arrested on the order of Dr Ellis. who intends to forciby send me to Chicago" The letter closed: Hurry. please, and effect my release. This is no joke"
 Then there was the card which has been previously described, which the elder brother dropped and on which he

AS ENDED
 STATEHOOD BUSINESS
Friends Regretful and Opponents
 Satisfied.

MT. B. A. Fowler, who recently re- turned from Washington. as asked yes terday regarding the sentiment there with respect to statehood. MT Fowler said that his errand was not pOlitic- al one and that he had made no special effort to ascertain the sentiment of members of congress toward the con stitution, but one could not avoid the impression that it was distinctly un- friendly. He did not see the president at all
 In the course of his stay he met sev- eral senators and representatives with whom he had labOred in behalf of statehood in other years. and he noticed one thing which must be construed as decidedly unfavorable to the hope of Arizona. Those members of congress who had been friendly to the territory and who had supported the present enabling and other enabling acts ex- pressed deep regret at the course things had taken. Those who had opposed statehood manifested deep satisfaction. The impression that must be formed was that both sides regarded the mat ter as already settled.

ROAD BUILDING.

AS result of the hearing by the
Board OF County Commissioners yes.
terday afternoon some very import
points were brought out in connection
with the proposed consolidation of
Road Districts No and 2-points
which put different phase upon the
situation and may well cause op
ponents to consolidation to hesitate
about standing firmly in the way Of
what seems to be popular move.
ment
Perhaps the most important Of al
was the discovery that, by the op-
ponents own contention that no con.
solidation of the districts can be
made under the law, without the for.
NAL consent of the city of Cairo. the
latter is not now legally a part OF
the Road District No. as now con
stituted, and any tax payer in Cairo
has a right to refuse to pay his road
tax. This comes about from the fact
that when District No Z was first

nance, as required by law, attach it
self to this district; and it remained
legally a part of it till 1895 when the
Board OF County Commissioners
changed the district again by making
an addition. which. under the law,
eliminated Cairo from the district
rendering the previous action attach
ing itself to District No. Z null and
void Cairo's city council having
failed to adopt another ordinance
formally attaching the city to the dis
trict formed in 1905, it is not legally
part of the district, and the road
commissioners OF District No 7 have
had no claim upon the road tax col
lected in Cairo since the year last
mentioned.
Cairo is therefore in the same po
sition under the law that 1t was IN
before 1901, when 1t was a district
by itself; and the question before the
people and before the city council
now is, Shall it remain so. or shall
1t again formally attach itself by or
dinance to Road District No. as
now constituted or as proposed to be
constituted by the petition Of the peo-
ple?' The resolution adopted by the
city council at its meeting last weeH,
protesting against any change In the
district Is without effect, because, as
matter Of fact, Cairo is not con-
cerned in the district, being no part
Sof 1t. Under the circumstances some
action seems to be called for by the
city council and 1t ought to be in con-
formity with the wishes Of the tax
payers Of Cairo. The Board of County
Commissioners after listening &c
statements from attorneys and from
some OF the large number of citizens
present. very properly deferred action
until the city council could be heard
from.

All the vital organs, the blood and

forces are supported by the stomach
which is therefore the conservator Of
life and health. When the stomach
has been abused, all sorts of dsor-
ders ensue, maladies of most kinds
being due to arrangement of its func.
tions. Indigestion and dyspepsia are
the most common results. The liver
becomes inactive, creating bilious
ness and worse; the bowels become
constipated, and their failure to oust
the fecal mater poisons the entire
system. The kidneys also pay the
penalty of this neglect suffering and
disease soon gain control.
If your health is not all that 1t
should be, get a treatment of Coop
