WOMAN'S CURE FOR DRUG HABIT
Dr. Margaret S. Hal leek of the New
York State reformatory for women
reports in the Medical Record ber suc
cess in treatiuvictims of the mor
phine habit in cases where she cut off
the drug at once. Not long ago medi
cine taught that the morphine habit
most be broken off by degrees and
that the cure was always attended
with untold suffering, and current
text books still teach that severe
symptoms will follow the audden
withdrawal of the drug.
The first case Dr. Halleck treated
was an American girl. 24 years old,
who said she had contracted the habit
while under a doctor's care for a
broken leg. The patient was taking
six to ten grains of morphine daily
besides smoking a dollar's worth of
crude opium. On the day that she
was deprived of the drug she was; seiz
ed with much pain. Her pupils were
dilated, she vomited, was extremely
nervous and said that she ached all
over. The doctor administered one
sixteenth of a grain of strychnine sul
phide, one two hundredths of a grain
byoseine hydrobromate and one fourth
of a grain of codeine sulphate. This
is the prescription she used in other
cases, except that sometimes she
doubled the quantity of byoscue
hydrobromate.
Next morning the patient reported
that she had not slept well, but vom
iting bad ceased and she was free from
pain. The same dose was administer
ed morning and evening for a week.
At the end of that time the patient
left ber room and did light house
work. She was still somewhat ner
vous, but her pains were gone and her
appetite was good. Strychnine in
quantities of one sixteenth to one
thirtieth of a grain was continued
for a week and then all treatment was
stopped. In six months she gained
thirty pounds. She has been out of
the reformatory now for eight months
and has not rleapsed.
The second case was a German girl,
23 years old. who when she was 15
years old, was induced by an older
girl to go and live in Chinatown. She
learned to smoke opium and used it
daily for eight years. When she came
under the doctor's care she was smok
ing from tl to SI. 50 worth of opium a
day. She was emanciated. her pulse
was slow, she had no appetite and she
was subject to muscular tremons. She
received the same treatment as the
first patient for four days and the
strychnine was continued for v while.
Her weight went from 109 to 142
pound. She is. Dr. Halleck reports
a good member of society.
An American girl. 31 years old. who
had used morphine in iaMasjaatag doses
for ten years, was the third pat ient .
Today she is the picture of health and
weighs 190 pounds. She says she lias
no desire for morphine, her feeling is
rather an aversion. .
The fourth was a girl of 24. who
had taken morphine hypodermically
for seven years. Her daily dose be
ug from fifty to sixty grains: in ad
dition she took cocaine. She entered
Bellevne three times to be cured of
ber habit, but relapsed each time.
She weighed only ninety pounds and
her body was covered with lesions,
left by the hypodermic. After ten
days' treatment she received no more
medicine. She gained over twenty
pounds in six weeks.
None of these patients received any
morphine from the time the treatment
was begun and each professes to have
lost all craving for it. Dr. Halleck
says the combination of strychnine,
byoecine and codeine forms a perfect
antidote.
The die is cast. Preacott is to ad
vance one notch in the scale of muni
cipal growth.
Cities like persons have periods of
growth and these periods are charac
terized by certain activities or all ab
sorbing topics of interest.
The voters of Preacott have wisely
decided to advance this beautiful, and
in many respects ideal, mountain city
in the scale of American cities and
have manfully shouldered the burdens
of a bond issue to begin the work.
To the voter and tax payer belong the
double credit of desiring this munici
pal improvement and the more real
effect of paying for it. Municipal
improvements like all other is born of
necessity. The prime force in the
present move, and Prescott is on the
move in a new sense, is Prescott 's in
adequate, incomplete, outgrown sewer
system. This system which has cost
the city a neat sum is good as far as it
gues, but it does not go to one half
the residences and only about one and
one half miles from the court house.
It is like a tree without roots or
branches. It it too short at both
ends. It ends within a few feet of a
well traveled public highway, one of
the principal drives from the city,
ends in a dry run and crosses and re-
crosses the public thoroughfare. That
this method of disposal is crude, 1
careless, repulsive, dangerous and
nothing short of criminal is only stat
ing the truth mildly.
Prescott has been, and ever will be,
to a certain extent, the haven of the
sick and afflicted, and because of Its
salubrious climate will always be the
home of the consumptive for a large
part of the year. Epidemics of ty
phoid and similar diseases will occur,
as they have in the past, until such
rigid and effective sanitary measures
are taken as will remove their oauses
and prevent contagion. With these
disagreeable but stern, uncompromis
ing facts m view, and others that will
j come to the mind of anyone who is
acquainted with the recent past, and
Prescott's health reports, it is not
strange that the taxpayer and public
spirited citizen have risen to the occa
sion and furnished the means and
now demand that a speedv. effective
and economical means of disposing of
this peculiarly dangerous and object
ionable sewage.
If the subject needed any more elab
oration to arouse the dullest intellect
and win the strongest opponent of ex
penditure, the imagination might
start with the fact that during the dry
hot days of the long summer the end
of the sewer is the drinking place, and
sometimes the only available drinking
place of herds of milcb cows, which
furnish a part of the supply for the
city, and this milk, uninspected, is
peddled from bouse to house for family
use.
This then is the present situation;
Prescott has a peculiarly dangerous
and repulsive sewage; this must be
disposed of; the public is aware of it;
the community, and especially the
military authorities, both of which
have been long suffering and patient,
demand the removal of the present
nuisance; the tax payer has burdened
himself with a bond issue to this end;
and now in view of these facts and
conditions the community at large,
each citizen, every tax Yiayer. the wel
fare of the city and community, and
the military authorities at the post
and Washington are waiting to see
what action the city council will t:ikt
to abate this nuisance and remove this
danger spot. It now devovlee on this
body, into whose bands has been
placed the interests of the community,
and what is more binding, the express
will of voters at the polls and the
means to carry it into effect, to devise
a plan that will purify this sewage and
dispose of it so that it will "lose
permanently its power for evil."
How this can best and most econom
ically be done is the question to be
solved. It is now up to the authori
ties, the mayor and council, to decide
upon a means of sewage disposal 86
shall meet the given present require
ments and be adequate to keep up
with the growth of the city, a well de
fined plan, based on scientific prin
ciples, hacked by successful experience
and in accord with the best and most
economical practice of sanitary engi
neering. In another issue several of the best
methods of treatment and disposal
will lie discussed and compared.
The election for a high school has
been called for Saturday, May 9, and
it is up to those entitled to vote at
the election to say whether Prescott
shall have a high school or not. The
importance to the town of such an
institution must be apparent to every
one, and the coat of it will be so
small as not to be notioeahle. The fa
vor with which the proposition was
met was shown in the circulation of
the petition asking for calling an
election, as the party circulating it
was not met with a single refusal. In
fact no opposition has been heard
from any source and the proposition
should be carried unanimously.

NEGROES DISFRANCHISED.
The supreme court of the United
States has rendered a triangular decis
ion in a case before it from Alabama.
It was a case involving the disfran
chisement of a negro, under the new
constitution of Alabama. Under a
clause of this constitution about nine
tenths of the negroes of the state were
disfranchised by prohibiting those
who could neither read nor write from
voting. Suit was brought by Jackson
W. Giles on behalf of the negroes
against the board of registration of
Montgomery county. Giles' particu
lar complaint was that he had been
denied the privilege of registering,
and the case was brought to the su
preme court.
Justice Holmes who delivered the
opinion of the supreme court, said 1
that for the court to interfere would j
be an unheard of relief in cases pie- '

opinion on the ground that the court

find the ledge outlined on tbe surface
by a bold outcropping of lime, spar
and quartz running north easterly
and south westerly up. and across the
mountain. Abont 500 feet from the
base of the mountain a cross cut tun
nel has been run a distance of 200
feet. At or about 100 feet from the
mouth of the tunnel the vein was
cut. Here a winze or shaft has been
sunk 75 feet below the tunnel level.
disclosing a vein of free milling gold
ores of the value of 884 per ton. The
width of the vein is about three feet.
Had the tunnel been run in on the
vein from the base of tbe mountain
it would have gained a foot in depth
for each foot run and would have
given a perpendicular depth where
tbe work has been done of fully 500
feet. The advantage of that kind of
mining where a tunnel can be run on
the vein is that tbe ledge is prospect
ed as you drive the tunnel. The value
of every foot of ground driven through
is known. A tunnel run in on a vein
where depth is attained is a very
cneap and profitable way of opening
up a mine. This is a very desirable
property.
South, 1000 feet, is the Lucky Cuss.
i This property has a shaft 50 feet in
I depth showing a vein to a width of
anoui two reel or quartz. Tne ore
has a good look. The shaft was out of
repair and I could not get below to
make a more thorough examination
of this property.
Passing around on tbe north side of
the mountain 2000 feet is the Ohio
mine. The development on this prop
erty consists of an open cut run on
the vein showing up a fair vein of
quartz nearly two and a Halt feet in
thickness, a very promising prospect.
About 1500 feet east of this you
come to the Indiana mine. This prop
erty has a cross cut tunnel run in the
mountain about 200 feet cutting the
vein at that point. A raise has been
made out to tbe surface 100 feet on
the vein. The vein is two and a half
to three feet in width of quartz with
some sulphides and hematite of iron.
There is some high grade ore found
n this vein. There is on tbe dump 50
or 60 tons of the average value of 118
to 20 per ton, mostly of free milling
ore. Below these openings, about 200
feet another cross cut tunnel has been
run in 450 feet to tap the ledge that
is opened up above. From the looks
of the face of this cross cut tunnel 1
should think tbe ledge is nearly 25
or 30 feet wide. This will cut the
vein fully 400 feet below the surface
which will prove its permanency and
extent of the ore body.
North of the Indinaa is the Iowa
mine. It has a shaft sunk to a depth of
about 50 feet on a vein of about two
and a half feet in width of a honey
comb quartz, free milling gold rock.
There is about fifty tons of ore on the
dump. The value of the ores I could
not get. I should judge from the
character of the ores that tliev carry a
good value.
The formation, or county ruck, is
principally granite. A rock of a por
phyritic nature, a schist rock and
lime spar if found in close proximity
to some of the veins. The trend of
of all the ledges are about the same,
north east and south west.
Approaches to this property is good.
A good wagon road from Prescott,
seven miles brings you on the proper
ty. Two miles from it is the S. F. P.
and P. railroad. I think that coal or
oil would be the cheapest fuel so
close to the railroad. Water would
have to be developed not at a very
great expense.
Taking tbe natural advantages this
property has for developing it, and
tbe railroad facilities, a few thousand
dollars judiciously expended in them
with good practical mining ideas
would develop a most desirable min
ing property and a dividend paying

miner. At this a shout of derisive
British laughter greeted the miner
and vexed him sorely, but, sure
enough how stupid in plain sight

interrupted the miner, "but in Eng
lish people say, "the proof of the
pudding is in tbe eating. Here we
say the proof of a 'dry washer' is on

this a heretofore unnoticed gor

and addressed the miner thus: "Do

Fire Friday Morning.
The shrill whistle of the electric
light plant at a few minutes past five
o'clock this moraine awakened th." so gracefully as those
slumbering citizen-" of tbe town.
The occasion for the alarm was a
fire in the old building of Clark &
Adams, near the depot, formerly used
as a saw mill but for several months
used by the D. Levy company, and by
the Prescott Transfer company as a
warehoue.
The fire was discovered by Night
Watchman Plummer.at the depot, who
gave the alarm but it had already
made great progress and by the time
the department arrived there, the
entire building was enveloped in
flames, and it was completely destroy
ed, together with all of its contents.
The place has been tbe rendezvous
for hobos aud tramps for several
yeara, in fact ever since it wan at. 101
doned by Clark A Adams as a saw
mill, and raid after raid has been
made by the officers on the place, but
without breaking up the gang which
infest it.
On account of the slope of the
ground, the place underneath the
building proper furnished an ideal re
treat for this class of people. Efforts
have been made to keep them out by
boarding up this place, but without
avail, as no sooner would it be done
until the boards would be taken off
aud the place turned into sleepiua
quarters again. The fire is supposed
to have originated from this cause, as
there was no fire about tbe place.
The building was owned by Clark A
Adams and while its present value
would be hard to determine, it cost
when built from 11000 to 11500. They
carried an insurance of 200 on it.
The hay and grain stored in it at
the time by the 1). Levy company was
valued at over 1000, with insurance
at 1500.
Tbe Prescott Transfer company 's
loss of coal amounts to from $75 to
$100 with no insurance.
Up in the sky a yellow moon was
beaming down in the hall, the satin
gowns were gleaming, and scattered in

a throng of people last evening to en

"herd," the Elks. As I looked over
the growing throng a feeling of thanks
rose in my heart, for the long evening
that would hold every thought to one
purpose, a good time. And they did
have a good time. At half after nine
the throng of tiny slippers commenced
to tan tbe floor, and then the whistle
sounded and as particle seeks par

forth, and the regular trend was like

There were no decorations to speak

Mr. Sessions has been justice of the

has officiated at nearly all tbe wed

those years, and especially has that
been true of all his children and
grandchlidren, but tbe record has
been broken at last, and rather than
go back on tbe good old republican
party of which he has been a loyal
member all bis life, he has lost a
wedding fee and tbe pleasure of pro
nouncing tbe words which united one
of his grand daughters with tbe man of
ber choice. During tbe campaign last
fall a certain democratic nominee
went to Judge Sessions aud asked for
bis support and was iufor-ned that
the priniples of tbe g. o. p. were too
dear to him to be sacrificed upon tbe
altar of personal friendship. The
aforesaid nominee is now having his
inning. There was a wedding in that
section today, the contracting parties
being Robert jWingfield, a prominent
citizen and merchant of the Verde
valley, and Miss Georgia Boyer, one
of the charming young ladies of tbe
' Cherry Creek country, and a grand
daughter of Judge and Mrs. Sessions.
It is said that tbe beforementioned
democratic nominee so prevailed with
the groom that be had tbe ceremony
performed by a minister, to get even
with the judge for not supporting him
for office. Thus it will be seen that
there are martyrs even in this day.

The territorial board of pharmacy

territory mnst undergo an examina
tion, credentials from other states or
diplomas from schools of pharmacy
not being accepted as evidence of
one's ability in this line.
nlarly, then with all my heart
life is such a wonderful thing:
beautiful figures are woven in its
mighty loom. Such wonderful gifts,
such harmony, such touching sounds.
Who to have looked at Mrs. B. H.
Smith would have thought that her
fingers could keep the perfect time
for so many dances? But she did, and
tbe accompaniment was like the roll
of a drum, for the moving of an army.
Who that shook Earnest Emanuel's
band last night dreamed that those
nervous fingers wandering over the
strings of that violin would speak to
the heart in tones so immeasurably
sweet, or that J. C. Remington, L.
H. Tobey aud F. W. Keksie could so
thoroughly cburm you by the trill j
they executed on such crooked striped
horns. Ob. but they did. aud until
the greatest majesty that will ever set
its seal on our faces takes place these
same heart talks from these strings
and tongues will go on charming us.
At twelve o'clock the doors of the
supper room were thrown open and
then the road to all men's hearts was
filled so full of good things that I'll
bet every time they see Mrs. P. L
Kastner and her noble corps of help
ers they will feel the same thrill of
satisfaction they did after partaking
of that elegant menu. The table look
ed like tbe waving of bright ribbons
or the fluttering of gay colored
plumes, the flowers were so profuse.
To say the least it was the perfect set
ting to a solid comfort and so the
hours sped to the merry music and the
flying feet.
Fling out your folds Old Glory,
King out tbe merry song.
Hold high that flaming banner.
The knights are marching on,
Let plumes in nodding splendor,
Proclaim their courtly might.
Let deeds of noble daring
Out shine their armor bright.
Ring out the sweetest music.
Ring out the merriest song.
The purple knights are marching.
Are grandly marching on,
Shake out the folded banner.
Of red, white and blue.
And sound the loudest bugle.
For this knightly order true.
Fling wide the door and window.
And sound the clamorous gong.
And let the groaning tables
Proclaim the knights are come.
Let Lord and stately lady,
Throw wide the castle keep.
While knights of by gone ages
Protect them while they sleep.
Let bright lights softly beaming
On fair forms gently fall.
Let floors of polished smoothness.
In lay the lofty hall.
There as in days of glory
mp pointed toe and heel.
Ring out sweet throated vml.
And old Virginia Reel.
Let mirth the banquet christen,
Let goblet tankard bowl,
Lend love to bright eyed maiden.
Lend strength to knightly soul.
Ring loud the cheers of honor.
From polished floor to dome.
While soft lips murmur softly
And tbe band sobs, "Home, Sweet
Home.

J. M. Erskiue. a special representa
tive of the New York Life Insurance
company, is in town for a visit of sev
eral days. Mr. Erskine while not a
permanent re-ident of this section, is
by no means a stranger to Prescott
although it has been two years since
his last visit here, and naturally notes
the gre it changes and improvements
which have been made in that time.
He was among tbe earliest pioneers
of Coconino county, having been con
nected with an engineer corps, under
Chief Engineer Kiugmau. which lo
cated the Atlantic and Pacific railroad
spending a year or so .in the territory
now embraced in that county. Their
camp for a large portion of the time
j was where the town of Flagstaff now
0h 1 stands, out at tne time mere were tew
such I residents there except some Mormon-;
engaged in cutting ties for John W.
Young, son of Brigbam Young. A
few of these bad their families with
them. They purchased all their sup
plies from Prescott. from three to four
day3 being required to make the trip.
Mr. Erskine has for some years been
engaged in the life insurance business.
and made an enviable reputation in
that line of business as there are few
men engaged in it who understand it
more thoroughly than he. Represent
ing, as he does, an excellent company
he naturally transacts a large volume
of business.
