BUILDING BOOM EN.
 LOVED BY ST. JOHN

ST. JOHNS. Ariz.. Aug. l2.-The sound of saw and hammer on all sides is making merry music in St. Johns at present. Many new build ings are being erected and the town has every appearance of enjoying a boom.
 The old Armijo block, one of the first business buildings to be erected in thee ity, is now being razed and as soon as the ground is cleared the owner will begin the construction of a handsome concrete block structure. The new building will be used for business offices and for a much-needed public hall.
 The Knight building. also a sub stantial concrete structure, is now nearing completion and will be oc- cupied by the offices of the Lyman Irrigation company, as we'll as a number of other business concerns.
 Another business house just com pleted is the Overson building on West Commercial street. This is of brick and is now occupied.
 Ready to Turn on Water.
 Water from the Lyman irrigation system is now practically ready for distribution over large portion of the l5,OOO acres to be reclaimed by this undertaking and much activity IS being shown on the bench. Several new farm houses are being erected and much fencing and clear ing is being done. Another twelve months will see many hundreds of acres in growing crops where sage brush now holds full sway.
 To Bridge Beaver Greek.
 The Board of Supervisors has called for bids for the construction of steel bridge across Beaver creek, between Concho and Hol- brook. This stream has proved 10 be the only stumbling block in the way of the auto stage line SO far this season. Contrary to expecta- tion. the monster steam cars have plowed through the muddy roads and have made schedule time during a greater part of the rainy season so far, but unfortunately they have not been SO highly developed that they can swim the stream, hence some little delay occasionally. A five hours auto ride now brings the from Holbrook. which is proving most successful proposi. tion to the owners and also to the public when compared with the fourteen hours by buck board that was formerly necessary.

Madame Sherry" at Howell
Theater.

Because everyone all over the country
is humming, singing, or whiSiling some
number of the score OF the big sensa,
lional musical success MADAME Sherry
which will be at the Howell Theatre on
Wednesday night, October I'd, the i'm
preston is current in some quarters that
the Productions charm is in the greater
part, musical. AS matter OF fact, the
mirth qualities OF The play are no less
engaging than its score. The love OF a
man for a maid under odd circum-
stances, love of the soulful, romantic
SORT, love that blossoms in the heart oil
youth and flourishes as true love ever
does, when things do not go smoothly,
is the reigning spell of the production,
according to report, but this love, this
courtShip is SO beset on so many sides,
and attended by so many miSadventureS,
that while itself remaining an appealing
interest, all its accessory situations
arouse amusement. Some idea OF the
fun developed may be CLEANED by
summary of the characters OF the play
which besides the lovers, include an
Italian house janitor, his Irish wife, q
lively fun-loving actress, New lork
man -about-town, an excitable Nenezue
Ian, an amusingly whimsical uncle o
the maid in love, and others, including
the pupils of dancing school and tht
guests of yachting party.

 Sure They Are.

Nothing uncertain about the work of Doan's Kidney Pills in Norwich. There is plenty of positive proof of this in the testimony of citizens. Such evidence should convince the most skeptica1 doubter. Read the following statement:
 Mrs. Mary Neff. 465 Main Street. Norwich, Conn, says: For many years a member of my family was subject to attacks of kidney complaint. He suffered from pains across the Joins and at times could scarcely get about on account of his back being so stiff and lame. The kidney secretions were irregularA in passing and often con- tained sediment Doans Kidney Pills, procured at N. D. Sevin & Sons Drug Store, proved of benefit from the first and soon every symptom of kidney complaint disappeared"
 The above statement was given | August 27, 1908, and several years l later Mrs. Neff said: T willingly con- i firm all I said in praise of Doane Kidney Pills in the testimonial given for publication in 1908. Nothing has occurred to change my high opinion | of Doan's Kidney Pills"
 For sale by all dealers. Price go cents. Foster Mflburn Co, Buffalo i New York, sole agents for the United States.
