With quotation of II cents per
pound for refined sugar at whole
sale in New York last week, hopes
of sugar beet growers for a large
bonus on their beets this year
seems to have gone glimmering. I'm
less the sugar market rallies, soon,
beet growers who signed a sliding

lose on >their contract and at least
will not receive the bonus of S1.00

Two months ago sugar was sell
ing at % to % cents per pound
wholesale at the seaboard and if
that price had continued, growers
would have received a bonus of $40
per ton above the price of $12
The slump means loss of up

 "Health is the greatest thing in the world, and when you feel that gradually slipping away from you, you certainly sit up and take notice. That is what did some time ago when found myself in a very nervous, rundown condition oi health. was so tired and felt so lifeless 1 could hardly go at all.
 "I was just no account for work. l would get a bucket of water and would feel so weak would have to set it down before felt like could lift it to the shelf. In this condition. of course, to do even my housework was a task almost inn possible to accomplish.

honor.
 There was no question then of his membership in the Mormon church.
 As speaker of the House of Representatives he was noted for his fairness and executive ability. There was no thought of religion In his decisions and there was no fear of Mormon domination by his colleagues. He was unques- tionably a popular legislator and honest and true to the interests of the people of the State, ire spective of their religious views. His successful work as anedu- cator for twenty-tWo years. and as an American citizen, gave him the right to seek the office of State superintendent of public instruction, an office he is fully qualified to hold.
 The contemptible attack at this time on MT. Peterson by the Protestant preachers of Phoenix is likened to the days of the In quisition. It serves no good pur pose and will not succeed in its intention to make the people oi this State believe in a Mormon peril to the schools of the State The c aham Guardian.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local application8, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in- famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube When this tube iS inhamed you have a rumbling sound or in1- perfect hearing. and when 1t Is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh which is an unframed condition of the mucous sur- faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine. Cir culars free. All Druggists, 75c.

It is in trying conditions like that related below by Mrs L North of Naples, N. Y. that proves the worth of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy. Two years ago last summer" she says our little boy had dysentery. At that time we were living in the coun- try eight miles from a doctor. Our son was taken i'll suddenly and was about the sickest child l ever saw. He was in terrible pain all the time and passed from oneI convulsion into another. l sent my husband for the doctor and after he was gone thought of a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy in the cupboard. gave him some of it and he began to improve at once. By the time the doctor arrived he was out of danger.

A Contemptible
 Attack.

According to an article pub lished in the Tucson Citizen Sun day, the pastors of the Protestant churches cf Phoenix are follow ing the lead of the nonpartisan labor committee in endorsing candidates for State offices in the primary election next month.
 In doing this they have gone out of their way to make an un- warranted attack on the candi- dacy of A. c. Peterson for State superintendent of public instruc- tiOn.
 In other words, these church men are relegating to themselves the right to dictate to the people of this State whom they shall vote for in the coming primary election, having in mind the men they believe best suited to the church people of the State-their churches-a narrow bigoted met bod of securing religious control of State politics.
 If there is che thing more than another that makes the red blood of a real American grow hot. it is this assumption on the part of any religion that they will select and advise the people for whom they shall vote for State offices.
 The attack on MT. Peterson is not only unjust and uncalled for but it maligns the character of a better and more patriotic citizen of our State than can be found in the co mmittee of preachers who signed the libelous circular letter denouncing MT. Peterson.
 In 1898 when Congress declared war on Spain and President Nc Kinley called for volunteers, A. C. Peterson responded to the call as a patriotic citizen and volunteered his services and his right to fight for his country.
 After the Spanish War. MT. Peterson took up his duties as an educator and the splendid success of the Gila Academy as one of the best educational institutions in the Southwest, is a monument tC his work as an educator.
 In politics, MT. Peterson has al all times shown himself to be broadminded and honest in his dealings with people, irrespective of their political or religious be- lief.
 Asa member of the board o1 supervisors of Graham county / he made an enviable record 1T the economical administration ot the affairs of the county.
 As a member of the third State Legislature his record was SC good that he was reelected aS State representative from Ora ham county to the Fourth Legis. lature and was unanimously chos- en speaker offthe house, a high
