The great curse of society Is a want
of sympathy, a . failure to know or
care for others.
Tho tide of emigration is growing in
favor of northwestern Canada, where
the new wheat fields are located.
Governor Yates, of Illinois, is
abroad, and tho crowned heads of Eu
rope will all surrender unconditionally.
"I am as God made me," remarked
a certain speaker of the house of rep'
rcsentatives of a western state. That
is hard lines for the Creator.
and the reduction in salaries to the
extent of nearly $6,0007'
The office of county superintendent
of public schools will fall to the ,pro
bate judge.fand the work of the" clerk
of the board of supervisors falls on
the recorder, and this change is sup
posed to go into effect on the first of
September, when the farce' of being a
first-class county will cease. From
the assessment roll it would seem that
the assessor has performed his duty
in an impartial manner, and the board
of equalization will have few changes
to make.'
St. Louis might have had a great
naval display, if tho exhibition had
been going on during the high water.
They are always missing a good thing
in the city of saints.
It is estimated that emigrants at the
rate of 1,000 a week are passing
through Minneapolis, on their way to
the new wheat fields of the Canadian
northwest.
An eastern exchange calls attention
to the fact that when the United States
paid Russia, shortly after the war,
seven million dollars for Alaska,
some of the critics thought it was
money wasted. Tho purchase has
turned out to be one of the best in
vestments ever made. When tho ac
counts are balanced for the fiscal year,
it will be shown that the commerce
with Alaska has amounted to more
than twenty million dollars, not count
ing tho production of gold. Over four
million dollars in gold ore alone has
1een sent to us in ten months, and the
merchandise shipped from there in
that period has been worth more than
ten million dollars. In ten months
there has been sent from the states to
Alaska nearly seven million dollars'
worth of merchandise. Nobody knows
really how wealthy Alaska is.
Worst of &.1I Experiences.
Can anything be worse than to feel
that every minute will bo your last?
Such was the experience of Mrs. S. H.
Newson, Decatur, Ala. "For three
years," sho writes, " I endured insuf
ferable pain from indigestion, stom
ach and bowel trouble. Death" seemed
inevitable when doctors and all reme
dies failed. At length I was induced
to try Electric Bitters and tho result
was miraculous. I improved at once,
and now I'm completely recovered.'
For liver, kidney, stomach and bow
el troubles Electric Bitters is the only
medicine. Only 50c. It's guaranteed
by all druggists.

ASSESSMENT Or COCONINO COUNTY.
The assessment of Coconino county
for the year 1903 has been turned intoj
the office of the board of supervisors,
by Assessor John H. Lind.
Tho total assessment amounts toi
82,703,330.07, as against $4,527,439,601
in 1902, being a decrease of $1,823,-1
103.59 from last year. The decrease
was due to the transfer of the forest
reserve lands owned by the various
individual and corporation owners.
The decrease will bo greater nextlf skfcl
year, and tho county will resume its
place among the third-class counties.
The property on the assessment roll is
classed as follows: Value of personal
property, $1,038,810.50; acres of land,
752,109, which is valued at .$1,162,859.01,
and the value of tho improvements
thereon at $29,700.00. The town lots
are valued at $159,275.50, and the im
provements are valued at $312,085.00,
The assessor's return would place
Coconino county in the counties of
the second class, and if the board of
equalization does not raise the assess
ment roll to three millions of dollars,
which they can do if they can raise
tb'e valuations and make them stick,
the taxpayer will bo relieved of the
burden of paying two extra officials
