by four walls of house, rever- bcrates in your unprotected tent, and you are wide awake. The slightest sound in the neighboring home rouSes your curiosity and you count the steps of the late corners on the cchoing sidewalk. Your cot bed rocks back and forth with the inequalities of the ground, and fl you get your head too low the constant tide of blood keeps your nerves growing. If there arc mosquitoes, they add the final touch of sorrow.
 The one great physical need of the majority of the American peo- pie today is more fresh air. The atmosphere of an office factory or mill was never contemplated in the age long evolution through which nature built up the wonders of the human frame. She provid- ed for the needs of the body on the assumption that fresh air would always be sweeping its tide of life through our veins. Then man went and bull, caves. cells, and prisons. in which Natures chief cleanser was forbidden entrance.
 It is up to everyone who believes that the body is business asset, to be conserved like any other property. to get more fresh air. If he can't get 1t in his business hours, he can get it in his own home. And at night he can either sleep out of doors, or hIl his room with out door air
 Eastern people arc too easily an noycd by the little discomfor,s of tent life referred to above. All through the Western cities where people adapt themselves to changes more easily. you find invalids re covering health, thin men putting on flesh. merely. by the charm and tonic of life in the medium for which Nature built the human body.

PIONEER NEARING
 THE CENTURY MARK
(From Sunday's Daily.)

According to a letter received yes terday by John Ehle from his sis ter. Mrs. John Dickson, at San Gabriel, Cal. their father. Joseph Ehle, is enjoying splendid health at the ripe age of over ninety years. and the dean of the Hassay- ampa colony desires the agreeable news to be imparted that he is con .hdent of reaching the century goal unless the unforeseen occurs.
 Mrs. Dickson states that her father retains his physical vigor, and bar ring his hearing which has left one ear, and his dim cyesjght, which will not permit of reading, his vital ity is remarkable. This venerable Arizonan longs for the day when he will be permitted to return to Pres colt and when the anniversary rolls around next year for his centenary to be observed. that event, he says. must take place among old friends and amid scenes he has cherished since 1864. when he arrived in Pres colt. Mir. Ehlc was taken to the southern part of California about two years ago, where the climate was more equable than in this ele- vation.

 If the Republican party is dis placed in November it will be with this record of unexampled good times and broad national develop ment. Some things the party has accomplished were not included in its pledges, because they were not foresecn as issues of the near fu- turc. Among the events not looked for was war with Spain.

DONOVAN FORCES FIGHTING ALL
 THE TIME
Mitchell Seemed Content To Protect Himself
 From Harm
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Under the mo decision" rule of the club the principal event al the entertainment given at the Prescott
 Physical Gymnasium last evening" the ten round 6stic argument be- tween Jimmy Donovan of San Fran cisco, and Kid Mitchcll-was de clarcd draw, but the decision of the crowd was almost unanimous
 in favor of the Frisco lad.
 Donovan forced the fighting from the first tap of the gong and con ,inucd to be the aggressor until the last blow was struck. He was not as scientific as his opponent, who seemed to be content to stand off and keep out of harms way. The lad with the name that denotes his ancestors came from Tipperary or some other place in the Emerald
 Isle however realized that he was there to fight and the fact that the mill was far from exciting cannot be laid on his shoulders for he was up and coming all the time and ready to mix it with or without pro vocation. Mitchell is the man who tried conclusions with Jack McMahn a couple of weeks ago and rumor has it that he had the Fighting
 Fireman of Prescott" on the mat for almost the full count several times. Ii is hard to believe that Mitchell made any such showing for he evinccd no such class or clever ness in his contest with Donovan. It may have been that the altitude affected him but he seemed remark ably cool in his mill last evening. In view of the announcement that one of the two is to meet McMahn in the Labor Day tournament, it seems that Donovan is entitled to the chance and that the public will be satisfied with no other selection. Donovan is being managed by Mau- rice Pollock, born in Dundee, and who claim to be the original Scotch Jew.
 There were a couple of prelimi- naries just to whct tup the appetite of the crowd for the big event Jack McMahn and Young Lang ford tcoloredD toyed with each oth- CT in friendly way, the former giving away 20 pounds and Blount and Kid Willard, the Mexican Mar vel, exchanged gloves for six peri ods. This in fact was the best fea- turc of the evening, these boys not being afraid of giving or receiving a blow harder than a love-tap. The result was a draw officially. but d shade the best of the encounter must be credited to "Thc Marvel" Another match between them should be arranged to settle the question of supremacy. Willard is to meet Ted Beach of Jerome next week and fl the Copper City lad lives up to his reputation ihe fight Is bound to prove an interesting one.

THE PANAMA CANAL TOLLS

Great Britian performs an act unprovided for by the international etiquette book, in asking the United States Congress to hold up rhe Pan anna canal toll bill until that coun- try can present it's case for free tolls.
 The phrase upon which i, will no doub, depend is the following from the Hay Pouncciotc treaty: '"The canal shall be free and open to the vessels of commerce and of war of all nations observing these rules on terms of entire equality" From this it will be argued that if American ships are to use the canal free all others must have the same right
 An Englishman of high rank re- gently said, in the expansive con hdcnces of an after dinner period. "Wallacc" (said to the former chief engineer of the canaD civilization is to be congratulated that the United States is constructing the Panama canal for the benefit of British Commerce."
 Our taxpayers will find |, some what difficult to sympathizc with this point of view.
 If man posts certain regulations regarding the use which the public may make of his land. does it nec- essarily follow, in either moral jus tice or law. that his own family must conform to those regulationsp There is big question whether the words of the above treaty cannot he fairly interpreted to mean all nations outside of the one that Is the owner of the canal and that paid the bills.
 or course something can be said in favor of an absolutely free canal. Trying to get the money spent in construction back by charging tolls, is about like trying 'o pay for q road by charging tolls. That sort of thing was thoroughly tried out in this country. in the old days of turnpikcs and toll bridges. Few relics of that custom prevail It is generally felt that more Is lost by hampering business than is gained by the fees,
 ( Bu, the toll on foreign vessels furnishes convenient method Of encouraging the building and opcr' ating of American ships. without the evils which many feel to exist in system of subsidies. and our people will hesitate good while before dropping it.
