Connecting England and France.


England is again considering tbs
plan to put tunnel under the cha.
ell to the mainland of Europe. This
channel scheme. in favor of which
feeling seems to be steadily growing,
is now quite old, for as long ago as
1856 1t was put on practical basis
by a French engineer, who exhibited
his plans at the exhibition Of 1867. III
the previous year experimental Dor
ings had begun on both sides Of the
channel and these have been contin-
ued at different times since However
the tunnel is not the only suggested
means of communication between. the
two countries. A channel bridge was
proposed il Paris In 1889, and Sir E.
j. Reed suggested a tubular railway
above the bed of the sea.

Heat IS Quick to
 Affect the Bowels
WellKnown Fact That Ex treme Heat Conduces to
 Chronic Constipation.

So many people are in the habit Of eating cold food in hot weather that constipation is very common during summer. It is best to cary the food and have some hot things, as, for ex- ample, soups and hot fish and meats, if that is to be the diet. Iced wa ter should be drunk sparingly.
 In spite of all care people will be. some constipated and if you find youlseif in that condition you can get immediate relief by the use of Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. There is no time of the year when you should be more careful Of constipation than in the summer, for many of the seri ous illnesses as well as the fatalities result from clogging up of the bow. els. You also need general good health to withstand Che heat. and hence Syrup Pepsin is best to take because it contains tonic ingredients that help to build up the entire system.
 Numerous users throughout the lanC will verify these facts, among then Mr. George c. Allen. 40S N. Main St. Reading Mass. who recovered hii health completely after using onl, two bottles; and Miss Anna Schon

RAINS DO NO DAMAGE
 BUT CAUSE DELAYS

Except for causing loss of time. the rain of Wednesday and the heavy one or last night have had little effect on the paving of Subway street. Yes terday the contractors started the pouring of cement over the bricks that have already been laid and the cement base was considerably extend ed and will probably be completed to- day as far as the rear of the Phelps Dodge warehouse.
 By keeping a force of men at work with brooms the water has been kept on the move and sediment has not been allowed to collect The con tractors now believe that the greater part of the work will be complied by the end of next week.
 The rain yesterday was by far the heaviest of the year and made plen- ty of work for the street department There was g head of water close to a foot deep running down the alley in the rear of the Orpbeum and a large quantity of dirt and refuse was carried into the subway. No damage was re ported last night, though the sleeper streets had some deep rGts cut. The weather sharps predict that the rainy season now has a good start and that the real floods will be along shortly

VALLEY FARMERS ARE
 FEARFUL FOR CROP

If the rain which visited Bisbee Wednesday night and yesterday morn ing extended to and over the Sulphur Springs Valley. the dry farmers of that section have been saved from 9 crop failure. This was the statement Of Secretary Gray of the Commercial Club who went through the valley the latter part of las week. He says that only brown fie,ds were to be seen except where there were wells and pumping plants and that the dry farmers were badly discouraged and talked of possible ruin.
 There were some good rains gen, erally in the Sulphur Springs Valley
 about the first of the month, Gray
 was informed, but these ceased an-
 were followed by hot, windy days
 The early. rains were just sufficien,
 to cause the seeds to sprout, but not
 sufficient to bring the growth above
 the surface. Then the heat and the
 wind crusted the scil and the tendei sprigs were net able to force theI way through. Dry farmers were then saying that if they had rain in Q few days all might be well but other wise there would be a general fall uTe.
 At Wilcox Gray met a rancher whC
 with four sons had 500 acres of "oy e.-flow lands" near the ChiTicahus i lcot hills. He stated that the previou, year they had eeujoyed fine crop but thus far for this year there haC been little or no overflow. Where evet old timers were met they stated that thus far this season was tht dryest they had known in man! | years.
 In his trip through the count! ] Gray visited Courtland, Pearce, Co chise, Wilcox, Bowie, San simon anl
 Benson, and carried assurance witl | him of the interest that Bisbee fei l in their progress and extended ;h'
 best wishes and promises or supper from the Commercial Club. He wa warmly welcomed wherever he wen ! and found that the whole count was deeply interested in Bisbee anC | its prosperity.
