.afaaaOtBilfcMfeU "ASSESS COCONINO SUN. ARIZONA LEGISLATURE. The Proceeding M Gleaned from our Capitol Exchanges. Mr. Campbell Introduced 108, the livestock bill, designed to take the place of all existing lawtt. This is the bill agreed upon at a late extended conference of cattlemen and butchers, to both of which hitherto conflicting classes it is satisfactory. Inspection is made uniform and the expense of it is to be paid by a system of graded license. It is claimed for it that it will better protect both parties. It re moves the winter or occasional butcher from the field and many of his class procured their stock by raiding the ranges. If a dishonest man if forbid den to take meat to market, one incen tive for stealing cattle is removed. There is only one class of cattlemen who object to the bill. That is the very large one whose shipments in the course of the year are so heavy that an additional 2 cents of an inspection fee amounts to a considerable sum. House bill 98, for the relief of John H. Behan, was passed It had come back from the claims committee with out recommendation. Behan, in 1890, cashed a voucher for Thomas Halleck, a hold-over prison commissioner, for his quarter's Hillary, amounting to $352.50. This, with the interest now amounts to $598,50. This is said to be the last of the claims of this class. A mesage from the Governor an nounced that he' had disapproved of H. B. 94, the bill making an appropria tion for the enlargement and improve ment of the territorial pnison, and returned the same to the house with out his signature, giving various reasons therefor and the house passed the bill over the Governor's veto. A communication was read to the house from Delegute to Congress Wil son saying that he had introduced H. B. No. 14 238 in congress, providing for an extension of the time of the legisla tive session of the territorial legislature not to exceed thirty days, the extia time to be used only in the recodifica tion of the laws of the territory. The bill had gone to the committee on territories in the house and had been reported favorably from that body. A New Star. The Lowell Observatory is interested in a new star which was first observed by Mr. A. E. Douglas on Saturday night last. The star was observed however at the Edinburgh, Scotland, observatory on February 19. The new star is in the consteietion of Perseus and it has slowly increased in bright ness since its appearance. But fifteen of this class of stars have ever been discovered. The lust one equal in brilliancy was discovered in 1004, and but three all told have been greater in brilliancy or magnitude. The first night it was a very ordinary absorption spectrum and on the following night was transformed into a striking bright line spectrum. These stars, explains Mr. Douglas, come with great rapidity and fade slowly away beyond the line of vision cont'nually changing the character of the spectrum and are caused usually by one star coming in contact with another forming incandescent gasses, which emit a very brilliant light, afterward dying out slowly. This discovery is considered a very important one in astronomical science. Card of Thanks. I desire to return ray sincere thanks to the ladles of Flagstaff for their kindness and sympathy in my recent bereavement, and especially to Mrs. John Sanderson, Mrs. J. S. Treat and Mrs. Floyd Brown, Mrs. S. E. Ashurst. A Successful Case In Osteopathy. A. L. Sims, a locomotive fireman in the employ of the Arizona Lumber & Timber company, on Saturday morning of last week, stepped from hie engine and injured his back so severely that he was taken to his room. His injury caused him so much pain that a doctor was called Sunday, and later another physician was called, but no relief was had and the suffering of Mr. Sims in creased and he became helpless, opiates did not relive his condition and he had not closed his eyes in sleep for forty-eight hours. Thursday afternoon friends of the injured man called Dr. Sylvester W. Hart, an osteopath phjslcian recently located here, who found his patient suffering from a partial dislocation of the fifth lumbar and twelfth dot sal vertebrae and incapable of helping himself. The doctor applied the usual treatment of his school of medicine and within fifteen minutes had his patient out of bed. Mr. Sims was then able to t Ide to the Commer cial hotel and was carried upstairs to the office of Dr. Hart, where, after further scientific treatment he was within an hour, able to descend the lung stairway alone and is to-day able to walk about the streets and will re sume his duties as fireman next week. The injury of Mr. Sims was one that most frequently leads to paralysis of the lower limb and but for the prompt and intelligent tieatment of Dr. Hurt he would, no doubt, rapidly reached that condition.
