AN ANCIENT CITY
OF ARIZONA
Buildings Of Sandstone Found
Buried Beneath Prairie Dust.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Still another oldest city II
the world has been discovered
When y. Hewitt Myring found
vases in ruins which were said
to be 1000 years old it was i'm
agincd that the remains Of early
civilizations had been pushed
as far into antiquity as they
would ever go,
But A, Lafayc, a mining en-
gineer, has found the relics of a
town in an Arizona tableland
near Phoenix which he insists
are at least 10000 years old. The
buildings are on a level stretch
Of country where neither silt nor
wash was possible, and yet the
ruins We're covered with ten feet
Of prairie dust, which the dis
coverer claims required ages to
accumulate.
The buildings Of sandstone
show great architectural skill,
and in the walls were found a
box Of cotton bolls and a sealed
jar Of corn, both well preserved.
The Arizona climate does not
permit the growth of cotton in
the present age, so Mr.. Lafaye
assumes that sufficient time
must have elapsed since the cot
ton which he found was grown
to have wrought a complete
change in the character Of the
country. This period he also
gauges as something like 10000
years.
He is satisfied that the ruins
are older than those of Nineveh
or Babylon. He believes that
the race which built this town
was possessed Of a high civiliza-
ton from the abundance of ar
tlstically wrought pottery and
that it subsequently was broken
by internal dissension and
possibly degenerated into the
cliff dwelling tribes.

Mild, GENTLE LAXATIVE
FOR WOMEN GIVEN FREE

So many of the ills Of women are
due to habitual constipation, probably
because of their false modesty on the
subject, that their attention cannot be
too strongly called to the Importance
of keeping the bowels open. 1t is
always important to do that, regard
less of the sex, but it is especially
important in women.
From the time the girl begins to
menstruate until mentsruation ceases
she has always vastly better prospects
of coming through healthy if she
watches her bowel movements, If you
find yourself constipated, with bad
breath, pimply complexion, headaches,
belching gas and other symptoms
of indigestion and constipation, take

Hadley vetoed the immigration
bill, availing himself of the
opportunity to make a political
stump speech in which he APP,
pears in a most ridiculous plight
The Governor evidently prefers
no immigration board to one
Independent of his appointing
power. He seems to think any
commissioner other than one
chosen by himself would be a
failure. He will, evidently,
seek to continue the present
immigration machine, depending
upon the next legislature to
liquidate its debts. Just what
kind Of an immigration board
Hadley wants and has is clearly
set out by the Republican ex-
auditor Of the board, Hon. w.
II. johnson, Of Springfield, in an
open letter published in the
Leader Of that city under Of
October 10, 1910. Mr.. John
sson was in a position to know
and he said that the Hadley
Immigration board was one in
which politics was more i'm
portant than immigration" and
that the main purpose Of the
commission was to "create OPP
%portunities for making thinly-
yelled political speeches" This
prominent Republican also charg-
ed over his signature that less
than 10 per cent Of the money
raised was used to advertise the
state, the 80 per cent going to
oil the machine. In fact, Col.
johnson resigned from the
board because he refused to
longer "hold a dummy hand in
a political game" and could
not conscientiously' become one
Of Mr., Hadley's henchmen, right
or wrong and sit silently
on the lid Of an emnently bad
condition of affairs because Mr..
political exigencies
seem to require it." Just at
time Col. Johnson's letter is
wonderfully illuminating upon
the character of an immigration
board Gov. Hadley had in the
past and wants in the future,
The Hadley political machine
