Tho immigration to tho port of New York from Europo during tho past six months, or from tho opening of May to the end of October has beon much larger than it was during tho corresponding poriod of last year. Tho immigrants landed from May to October of this year, inclusive, numbered very nearly 50,-000 moro than for tho samo months of tho j'car 1894. Italy and Russia havo sent their full sharo of this increase Thero is oveiy reason for believing that when tho current fiscal year is ended in Juno next tho immigration statistics will be much higher than they havo been for some years past. This estimato is justified by tho fact that, whilo tho arrivals for tho fiscal year 1894-'5 numbered but 190,928, those for the past six months havo numbered 112,105. The falling off for tho last fiscal year occurred in tho first half of it, or in tho year 1894. How to Kill a Newspaper. Press and Printer informs us that an editor who has evidenty felt somo portion of tho process gives tho following instructions for killing a nowspaper: Just lot your subscription go. It's only a dollar or two tho publisher don't need it. If ho asks you for it just got as mad as you can and tell him to stop tho "paper you never read it anyhow. Then "goTJ3rrwyour neighbor's. "When tho roporter comes for news always bo busy. Make him feel as if ho were intruding, that your time is worth 8100 a minute. When tho advertising and job man comes tell him you don't need to advertise everybody knows you; that you will try to get along without any printed stationery its too expensive; that business is slack and you must economize. Never drop in to seo tho editor unless you want a freo complimentary notice or a lengthy obituary for a beloved relative. Never recommend tho paper to anybody. "When you speak of it always say: "Yes, wo havo a little sheet, but it don'tamountto much." Keep this up for a year or two and you will havo a dead a dead set of merchants and a dead town. -- A Harmless (Jot ernor. The governor of Ohio is tho only executive in tho country who has not the power to 'Veto. It seems that tho Buckcyo stato has dono business without tho provision for years. Tho story ot how it was abolished is interesting. Years ago Ohio governors derived a big sharo of their incomo from marriages, for preforming which thoy were allowed 82 each. In tho early days that was a largo sum, and tho exccutivo counted this a principal sourco of rovenue. Finally tho fee was abolished by legislative enactment, but tho governor's salary was sufficiently increased to cover the fees which wore lost. Goneral Arthur St. Clair, who was then governor of tho territory, veoted tho bill abolishing tho fees and signed tho ono raising tho governor's salary. This performance, so tho story goes, so angered tho people that thoy soon afterward abolished tho veto power and later took it out of tho constitution. Tho Institute Hall. Last Thursday night the Academy hall at Thatcher was crowded to its utmost capacity, it being tho dato for tho grand ball and tendered tho teachers of Graham Co, by tho hospitable people of Thatcher. Tho hall was not largo enough to hold all tho dancers who assembled there, and it was necessary to havo two and three dances of each kind to accommodate them. Not for a long time has Thatcher had such a rigorous pruning in a social way and all the the residents wero fteo in their efforts to make it a long remembered Institute session. All who were present report an excellent timo and teachers especially, recommend tho people of Thatcher for hospitality. TEAMSWANTED "We want a limited number of good teams to haul coko to Globe.

JW n tttOWVr ' ESTABLISHED 1895 Nearly an Accident. A. A. Whitney narrowly escaped what might have been a serious accident Wcdncsdaj' evening whilo enrouto to Solomonvillo accompanied by Mrs. Sneddon and her daughter Maggie. It scenis that whilo on tho road between the depot and Solomonville the way beca'mo so rough that it was thought advisable to cut off somo of tho distance by taking a more direct routo to the town, this however did not provo successful, as scarcely had the road been left than a ditch of considerable depth was reached. Mr. Whitney was not aware of tho prescuco of tho ditch, and was only apprised of tho fact by the horses making an effort to jump it. Of course tho horses jumping brought tho buggy forward with a terrible suddeness, and Mr. Whitney was thrown tho dash-board upon ono of the horses and from thero fell to tho ground, tho wheels of tho buggy running over him directly at the hip. Ho retained presence of mind though, which in such cases always is of much value, and kept a firm hold on the reins and by giving tho animals a stern com-' mand to stop succeeded in regaining his feet. It is almost a miracle how a man as heavy as Mr. Whitney was thrown from the buggy whilo two ladies who wero with him retained thoir seats. When Mr. Whitney was thrown from tho buggy thero being no dry spots in tho vicinity ho was compelled, much to his discomfiture, to land in a pool of mud of no small dimensions. After removing his clothing and drying them by a fire, and giving them a thorough dusting and renovating ho arrived at tho danco throe hours late. A Collision. Ahead-end collision just east of SEoeTiiSfcer, N.M., botween tho cast bound Chic32&TOiipd and a freight train on tho Santa FcTRho trains met on a sharp curvo and'Sjpth. enrnnes wero destroyed.

Improvement Club. The Safford Improvement and Social Club mot in regular sessson in tho M. E. church building last Tuesday night with a largo atten dance, oommitties appointed at the previous meeting reported progress and a general routine of business was outlined. During tho session tho subject of a street was introduced by Mr. A. A. Whitney, special agent for tho Osborne Machine Co., who suggested tho erection of a machine that would move ten feet of dirt at onco and mako a uniform grade. Ho was requested by the club to draw out a diagram of tho machine and ascertain tho prico of erection which he did. Tho plan was adopted, and the leveler is now in course of construction. Tho streets are being daily improved under tho supervision of tho Club The Play. Arrangements havo beon mado for tho Safford Dramatic company to ro proauco tno jxio uraudo in tho Court House at Solomonville to-morrow night.

Y'csterday was Thanksgiving and tho population of turkeys in this valley was reduced to a considerable degree, in What warrant is thero for tho prolific prophecies that tho silver question died on November 5th? Just about as much as thero was for saying after each election since 1812 that the tariff question would be settled. Silver will continue to be an issue until this vast element is wiped from the face of the earth or silver is restored to its rightful place as a final redemption money.
