Arizona for pleasant winters.
It is a hard matter to guess what a
California kleptomaniac will cot do.
One of them has iust been arrested for

there are no oontests filed, the political

Skvator Peffeb lays claim tore-election
npon tha ground that he has made
437 speeches, loog and short. There is
no doubt that the senator has talked as
much and said as little as an populist

President McKiklxy will onl y have
fifty-three ooneular appointments to
make. There are thirty-fire ambassadors
or ministers which he may name. These
latter do not have to pass aoy examine

are disappointments in waiting for a
number of office seekers.
The irrigation congress In Phoenix
will be of greater benefit in advertising
the resources of the territory than any
thing which baa ever ocourred hereto

United 8 tales will be present, and will
learn much in relation to Arizona of
which they never dreamed before.
The Yankees sre always wide-awake.
An enterprising cobbler down in Maine
has rigged a portable business buuee for
himself. In eumme-, it is a boat, and
he sails from place to place, shoeing the
inhabitants. In winter he goes aahore,
places the boat on runners, and hauls
it to convenient locations over the enow.

Boston is really becoming sanctified.
The proprietor of a Boston theater was
recently called to account for allowing
his orcnestra to play the Star Spangl
ed Banner" or Sunday evening. The
court decided that the national anthem
is not essentially wicked but it is not
aacred, and is consequently ruled out
or Sundays. Boston is trying hard to
wipe out the recollections of wooden
hams, nutmegs, and her treatment of
witches.
A Fbekchkan has discovered a
method by which the ordinary life pre
servers may be discarded. You jost
take an aBeptio syringe, insert it undsr
the skin upon your breast and pump in
200 eubio inohea of air. This will suf
fice to float you, with yoor head above
water, for an indefinite time. If ocean
steamers would eaoh carry an Arizona
office hunter the neoessity for the
syringe would be obviated. One of our
cactus politicians could blow wind

Air Ohio man has had a curious ex

which resulted in the total loss of his
memory. He wandered away, was dis
covered by his father, returned home,
renewed his eiege upon the young lady's
heart, and is now happily married to

return, for in the event it did, he might
forget hia marriage and leave the lady a

that Weyler ia in Cuba for other than
climatic reasons: Weyler msy be a dis
mal and coetly failure as smasher of re
rotations, but if current reports from
Havana are correct be is likely to shine
as the most brilliantly successful mule
dealer on record. The General appears
to have srone into the mule business
psrtly for the glory of Spain, but more
laxgely for the money there is in it. The
st ry is that he has American mulea
delivered in Cuba at a ooat of $35 per
head, which he promptly turos over to
the Spanish authorities at $75 per head,
the difference between prices remaining
in tha handa of middlemen as a sort cf
self-collected reward for their highly
Masoned ratriotism. With this ex
planation of the traffic to guide him,
Weyler probably concludes that the
commission on the mule trade ia a great
deal more profitable than a commission
in the Spanish army.
Text thousaud head of small native
horses, says the Tacoma Ledger, are
likely to starve to death in eastern
Washington this winter, and, strange to
say, thsir owners are glad of it. Praoti
oally valuelees are these horses. Else
tricity and the bicycle aie the cause,
Instead of being man's best friend, the
horse has become an aotual pest in east
ern Washington. "An eating machine1
is his latest niokn ame, and hia death is
desired that feed may be preserved for
great bands of cattle and sheep, wbion
are yet valuable to man. And ao the
most severe winter the Northwest has
sen at least since 1851 is a thing to
b desired, rather than otherwise, by the
greet grazing interests of eastern Wash
ington and Oregon.
A Ixm Angeles msn has taken a tum
ble. A barn fell on him and he could 'ct
help it
Maco has broken Weyler's troche.
If he could only succeed in breaking the
old sinner's spinal cord, he might bring
the troubles of Cuba to a Budden end.
Bjitab proposes to get even with the
American people in eome way, so he has
written a book. There is consolation in
tha fact that no one can compel you to
read it if you do not desire to do ao.
The safest place for a Chinaman who
desires to institute reforms in China, is
in the domain of Uncls Sam. The Chin-
officials have a very unpleasant fash
ion of cutting off reformers' heads If
they catch them in their own country.
The California boy who killed his step
father for beating bis mother, has been
discharged oo motion of the d it trie t at
torney. This is well. The boy deserves
the worship of the entire nation for the
brave defense of bis mother from the
anger ot the brute who was beating her.
The Chinese are rather favorably im
preased with the Amerioan republic, and
are now proposing to depose their em
peror, overthrow the present dynasty.
and erect in its stead a republio found
ed on Amerioan lines. What a picnic
the Mongolian politiotane will have.
It won't do to get on too intimate
terms with the X-ray. A msn in Wis
consin had a bullet ia hia head and it
was located by means of this wonderful
disoovery. He has a gocd joke on his
wife, if nothing else. She can't ever pull
his hair any mors, for be hss'nt any, the
rsy having left his head as bars of hsir
as a billiard ball.
Soke dsmocrsts are setting up an un-
eaithly howl for fear Mark Hanna
might be McKinley's secretary of the
treasury. They are sis a weeping end
wailing and gnashing their teeth because
ttiey fear that McKinley may appoint a
few fourth-class postmasters. Awsy
baokin the not very distant past, these
same fellows were virtuously howling
for the division of spoils among the vio
tors, but it spparently makes a very
significant difference as to who the vict
ors are.
THaKeelsy institutes over the coun
try are recognized as a sure cure for
drunkenness. If the army ot temper
ance reformers would devote their time
to rsising a fund for the purpove of furn
ishing treatment to the unfortunate vic
tims ot drink, who are unable to get the
neocessary money to secure it for them
selves, they might accomplish a world
of good. Possibly, though, it is argued
that a man who cannot rustle the gold
to pay for his own treatment, is not
worth saving.
Ik the north and west tbia season is
the most severe in the history of the
country. In Oregon and Washington
the rivers, Including the Columbia and
many smaller streams, are olosed with
loe. wnile the small bodies of wster are
very where frozen. Such severe weath
er, so early in the season, finds stock
men totally unprepared to proteot
their oattle, many of which are still on
the range, and it is estimated that many
thousands will psrish of cold snd starva
tion. In the region about the bead-
waters of the Missouri river the whole
country is covered with snow and ice
to the depth ot 12 to 16 inches. Cattle
by the thousands are nnable to get food
and are dying by droves. Many stock
men have large stores of feed, but owing
to the sudden severity ot the weather,
are totally unable to distribute them in
way to relieve their stock.
Speabtiko of the fsvorable conditions
which are in evidence all over the coun
try since tbs eleotion of McKinley, the
American Banker says that a wonder
fully encouraging fact is the continued
high prices for wheat, and the fact that
the farmers are gstticg a substantial ad
vantage from it. It has been observed
that deliveries of wheat are much less
now than at this time last year, and this
ia taken as svidsnoe that the farmers are
fully alive to the immense advantages
which lie within their reach, due to the
failure of crops on the other side of the
world. As the orop is marketed at the
higher prices, and the farmers reoeive
their cash and credit, there will follow a
demand for wares of all ainds, greater
perhaps for the economies whioh they
bad to prsctice during three lesn years.
The foreign demand for our commodi
ties continues on a considerable scale,
even if capitalists abroad still ahow
eome hesitanoy towards investing money
here. -
The death of Col. John R. Fellows,
in Naw York, removes a brilliant
lawyer and a conspicuous politician.
The preachers and newspapers in
Los Angeles are at war with each others,
and the proepeots are that the preachers
are going to get the worst of it.
Clsvilihd presents the first instance
on record of a presidsnt of the United

There ia almost sure to be a conflict
ot a serious nature between Peru and
Bolivia on occouot of a usurpation of

The bicycle craze baa struck the City
of Mexico. The papers from there
carrv large advertisements of almost
every leading bicycle manufacturer in
the United States.
Tucson's magnificent olimate is at
tracting many winter visitors, and when
the assurance is given that ample so-
eommodatiotis will be afforded, the
number will be greatly multiplied.
The amount of building that is going
on in Tucson would be taken as evidence
of a boom in most places, but here it is
looked unon as nothina more than the
legitimate growth of a prosperous com
munity.
Los Angeles is recovering from the
affliction of a municipal election. The
Herald's rooster is crowing, consequent-
is safe to conclude that the Times'
rooster will have to tell how it happen
ed.
The members of oopgress differ very
widely in their opinions ot Cleveland's
message. It is referred to in most com
plimentary terms by some of the states
men, while others consider it very
weak.
The manufacture of bioycles and
bioyclista sundries is productive of
enormous revenues. During the first
seven months of the present year France
exported $900,000 worth of oyoles and
cycle sundries. The doctors are shy a
cumber of patients siaoe the bioycle fad
has seized the people.
Wetler is tryiog awfully hard-to
make himself believe that Maoeo and
Gomez are both dead. They are thorns
in his flash which he would gladly have
removed. Great regret would follow the
confirmation of the reported death of
either of these brave champions of Cuban
liberty.'
Groves may not oare much about the
Cubans and their unfortunate condition
but the spirit of James G. Blaine is
alive in congress, and the extremely
vigorous resolutions which are being
introduced give promise of materializing
into something definite and decided.
Most any of the prize fighters would
enter into a ''foul" conspiracy with
$10,000 as the reward for its successful
consummation. It is such dishonesty
among that fraternity which is account
able for a great deal of the disrepute
whioh has fallen upon the participators
in the manly art.
There ia a serious phase of life con
fronting Durrani. He does not seem to
be in much danger of legal execution
upon the gallows buttbsre is a pretty
well founded suspicion that he will die
cf old age, behind prison bars before
the suprsme court decides whether or
not he shall have anew trial.
The Los Angeles Herald is fighting
the Parkhurst society, and says some
awfully naughty things about a preach
er. Rev. T. A. Cowan, who scored the
press of Los Angeles at a recent mas9
meeting held under the auspioes of the
83ciety. The Herald says that Mr. Co
wan is a malioioua ass." Now that's
just simply dreadful and the naughty
Herald ebould be ashamed of itself; so
there.
The airship continues to hold its own
as a subject of public discussion. It is
alleged to have been seen in all parts of
California and the visual evidence in
support of one euoh ship is quite as
irood for fifty. The only person whose
talk may be considered serious is Mr.
W. H. H. Hart, the well-known lawyer,
who soberly declares that he is the attor
ney cf an inventor who has recently
built and operated two airships in that
state and that he is cow engaged in
building a third. He has been able, Mr.
Hart deolares, to attain and sustain for
several hours a speed of about twenty
miles per hour and is making improve
ments designed to vsstly inorease the
efficiency of his ship, Mr. Hart does
not olaim to have personally seen these
ships, but he says they undoubtedly
exist and that San Franoisco will soon
be given an opportunity to view them in
broad dayiigbt. A cock-and-bull-air is
given to Mr. Hart's story by his addi
tion to it that hia client is negotiating
with the Cuban junta for the drstruo
tion of Havana by dynamite and that he
will dsmand for such services something
like $10,000,000. People generally hare
come to regard the whole thing as a
hoax, but there sre many who assert
that they hare seen the mysterious sir
ship and are willing to stake any sum
upon its existence.
Mexico is gradually adopting all the
modern adjuncts to prosperous business
methods. Lately, in the City of Mexico,
a building and loan company has been
established and advertises that its cap
ital is unlimited. All the officers and
direotors are under hetvy bonds for the
faithful performance of their duties.
The State of Washington is lining op
with Kansas, end the inhabitants are
evidently trying very hard to be as fool
ish as the Jay hawkers. Washington
has elected a populist governor and will
have one of the same breed of statesmen
in the senate. May the powers have
mercy on poor Washington. This is her
first offense: but Kansas should have
known better.
The parents of school children in this
city should demonstrate their interest in
the educational work which is bein,-;
done by frequent visits to the different
rooms. There is no question but what
splendid results are beii.g accomplished,
and the teachers should have the en
couragement of every parent. A fact
which is spparently not generally
known, and which exarts a remarkable
influence on educali tonal matters in the
territory, is that (he apportionment of
the school funds is based upon the
average attendance. It the parents de
sire to maintain their schools for the
full period, they should see to it that
their children are all in their seats each
day. The difference of a thoueacd
dollars or so in the amount of available
money for school purposes in this city j
would make a marked difference in the
length of the next school term. This
matter should be constantly be borne
in mind and nothing but the most press
ing necessity scouid afford an excuse
for absence.
The Effect of Climate.
A olimate not necessarily unhealthy
often proves so to thoe unaccustomed
to it. The acclimating process seems
unusually slow in some constitutions.
There is, however, a medicinal means of
acolimaticg it of which residents or
sojourners in unaccustomed or malarious
ohmaUs have not been slow to avail
themselves. Hostelter's Stomach Bit
ters ia a medioinal safeguard and ao-
ciimatiug tonic of standard reputation,
which travelers, emigrant, tourists,
mariners, and others whose tastes snd
pursuits entail exposure, euf jection to
changes of temperature, unusual or un
wholesome diet or water, and the fatigue
attendant upon long journeys by land
or sea, concur in pronouncing it re
liable, agreeable and safe. As a remedy
for disorders of the liver, 6tmach and
bowels, very prevalent in malarious
regions and the tropics, as a preventive
of fever and ague, rheumatism and
kidney trouble?, and as a restorative of
vigor, it is also held in the highest
estimation.
The Catholic Fair.
The Catholic fair opens this afternoon
The most elaborate preparations . have
been made to make the opening the
grandest thing ot the kind that has ever
been attempted in tui9 territory. From

Cat hoilo Fair.
The feature of the Catholic Fair last
night waa the vote oo tbp wo sacks of
flour, one being won by Mr ; Black one
by Mrs. VJlescusa. For shea two twenty
rive pound sacks ot flour, donated by
Mrs. Leo Goldsmith, the fair realized
$48,40. This shows what intelligent
effort can do.
This evening the grand march begins
at eight o'clock. -The point of attention
will be the musical programme under

The 9ingiog cannot help but be very
fine as there will be a large chorous of

THE CATHOLIC FAIR.
The Opening Night a Grand Snooeas
The much talked of Catholic fair
opened, as per announcement, last even
ing. '1 he history of Tucson is brilliant
with records of successful entertain
menis oi every sort, Dut no event ever
recorded in the annals of the old pueblo
win surpass this effort of the ladies. Liast
night's proceedings stsmp the affair as
a gorgeous success from every point of
view, lne crowd which sssembled was
surprising, livery cook snd oorier of
the grand edifice was crowded to tbe
limit, end tbe scene was one of un
usual attractiveness and brillianoy. Tbe
gaily deoorattd booths were made more
attractive by the splendidly arranged
electric lights, and were presided over
by ladies vho were fully qualified to
transact tbe immense volume of busi
ness which came to each one. The at
tractions were almost without limit.
Fish ponds, post office, raffles all were
taxed 10 the utmost to meet the de
mands of tbe liberal patrons who swarm
ed around them like bees.
The dinners which were eerved re
ceived the highest compliments on every
hand, and proof is not wanting that,
in the culinary art, the ladies who did
the work are experts. Every delioacy
imaginable was there to tempt tbe ap
petites of the hungry, and everything
was eaten up "they licked the platters
clean."
The treasurer is burdened down this
morning with tbe proceeds of the even
ing. A count rtvealed $500 as tbe result
of the night's work.
Too much credit cannot be given those
who have been active in tbe manage
ment ot this grand event, and doubtless
a very creditable sum will be the result
ot their work.

oo the same subject cabled the Asso

in eaicg it learns from a high quarter
that an understanding has been arrived
at tetween Greet Britain, Russia and
Franoe for the settlement of the so call

IN THE TERRITORY.
Happenings of Interest From Terri
torial Exchangee.
A Chinese beggar of this city fre
quently visits some of the cafes. His
face is hideous. The little eyes scow -furtively
at evey one. He walks aboutl
in silence, aa outcast, and humanity
turns aside when heapproacber. Withal,
he is a pitiable object, friendless, home
lees, sleeping no man knows where, liv
ing, no man know how. Night after
night he prowls about, and night after
night be is turned away empty handed.
He wears Americsn clothing of the
shabbiest sort. Such is Wsn Sen. Re
blioan. Mr. J. Harry Brown, tbe - popular
Phoenix bicycle r.der who has covered
over 10,000 miles on bis wheel since last
May in a tour over the western and

of Phoenix wheelmen expect to meet

Coal mining is promising to become
ao important industry in Arizona. In
tbe northern part of the territory ex
tensive Doaies or Dituminous coal are
encountered north and east of the Paint
ed Desert region. This coal cropa out
in many places acd at one point has a
thickness of twenty-three feet. The
San Carlos coal lands lie eist of the
Painted Deeert tract and extend north
east into Colorado and New Mexico.
The Mining Industry says It oomea to
tbe surface in many places and aafar aa
now known consists of three strata?, the
first two having a thickness of four feet
while the last snd lower oee is often
found fifteen feet in thickness. One
thing which has prevented the develop
ment of the San Carlos coal measures is
tbe fact that it ia covered by tbe Indian
reservation and ucless some steps are
taken by congress no work can be
d one. Pros pec to r.

FEEE CUKE FOR MEN.
Michigan Man Offers to Send
His Discovery Free.
Claims to be a Benefaeter to Weaken
ed Mankind
There is always more or leesauspioion
attached to anything that ia offered free
but sometimes a man so overflows with
generosity that be cannot rest until hia
discovery is known to the world, in
order that his fellow men may profit by
what he has discovered. It is upon thia
principle that a resident of Kalamazoo,
Mich., desires to send free to mankind
a prescription which will cure them of
any form of nervous debility; relieve
them of all the doubt and uncertainty
which such men are peculiarly liable to
and restores the organs to natural size
and vuor. As it costs nothing to try
the experiment it would seem that any
man, suffering with the nervous troubles)
that uauelly attack men who never stop
ped to realize what might be tbe final
result, ought to be deeply interested in
a remedy whioh will restore them to
health, strength and vigor, without
which tbey continue to live an existence
of untold misery. As the remedy in
question was the result of many years
research as to what combination whould
be peculiarly effective in restoring to
men the strength tbey need, it would
seem that ail men suffering with any
form of nervous weakness ought to
write for such a remedy at once. A re
quest to H. C. Olds, Box 1782, Kalama
zoo. Mich., stating that yon are not
sending for the prescription out of idle
curosity, but that yon wish to make nee
of the medicine by giving it a trial, will
be answered promptly acd without
evidence as to where information came
from.
Tbe prescription is sent free and al
though some may wonder how Mr. Olda
can afford to give away hia discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Uut this out and send to Mr.
Olds bo that he may know how you came
to write him. 11-28-781
