LID IS CLAMPED ON TIGHT IN
 COCH|SE
EVEN SLOT MACHINES ARE PUT UNDER THE BAN IN EDICT ISSUED BY THE SHERIFF.

BISBEE, May 10.-The lid is to be clamped on tight in dear old Cochise Nothing in the line of drink which contains any per cent of alcohol is to be tolerated, and even the slot ma chimes and punch-boards must go. Here is the edict:
 James E, Cannon, Deputy Sheriff,
 Bisbee, Arizona.
 Dear Sir: In view of the recent action, in Pima county, whereby slot machines and punch-boards are de- clared illegal, whether played for money or checks or any considera- ton whatsoever, I will instruct all my deputies to arrest any and all persons found using slot machines or punch-boards, whether for money, credit, checks or merchandise, after the 18th of this month (May). Be cause of previous uncertainty regard ing these devices, May 12 is given all persons in possession of said ma chimes, that they may take advantage of this warning.
 In view of Judge Lockwood's de cision, wherein he upheld the action of this office as regards ? per cent and Barette all deputies are instructed to arrest all persons making or selling any pe- cent, Barette, Golden Robin or in fact, any near beer. or modifica- ton of beer, or any similar beverage, made or sold under any name whereby the regular purpose of the dry or prohibition law is intended to be de feated, thwarted or evaded.
 All deputies are again instructed to arrest any and all persons playing any card game for money or checks that represent money - Panguini or any similar game, thought not mentioned in the statutes, to my mind is as much gambling game as poker or any other game.
 This is for the information of all deputies and the public, and in partic- ular as a warning to those who most are interested.
 Very truly yours,
 HARRY C. WHEELER.
 Sheriff.
 The sheriff's decision to clamp the lid down tight on slot machines. punch-boards, etc, is in line with the action recently taken by the Pima county officials. and according to the ruling of County Attorney Ross. is merely enforcing the criminal stat utes of the state. The matter is GOV cred fully in Section 319. His action in forbiding the sale of denatured or imitation beer is in line with the recent ruling of Attorney General Wiley E. Jones.
 Since the sheriff's warning of sew eral days ago, nearly all the new beers previously offered for sale, here, have disappeared It Is understood that attorneys, representing the manufac- turers of Golden Robin, will arrive shortly in Cochise county and repre- sent a Douglas man who was arrested some days ago for the sale of the beverage.

The Road Breaker

The civilized man makes roads;
the savage does not. That is the
safest test of civilization.
Among us in all communities are
individuals who are not really civil
lied. They, do not take any interest
in roads.
A mans scale in civilization ) very
correctly tested by his attitude to-
ward the. stone which has rolled into
the road, or the tree which has
blown down across 1t. The man who
drives around the obstacle day after
day is one sort of man, the one who
stops his team and rolls or drags it
away is another. And a person pass
ing along a road which he does not
expect to retrace, who removes the
obstruction for the sake of the
stranger who comes after him, re-
spends to very high test of civili-
cation. He feels socially.
The road breaker is the great civ
Quick in Farm and
Fireside.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There ls
only one way to cure deafness, and that ls
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube 10 infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when It is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an iniamed condition
OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
