SCHOOL CLOSED.
What was Said and Done on the
Last Day.
Yesterday bein? the closing day of the
city school, the scholars of the different
departments spent the day in recitations,
songs, and social intercourse. Under the
management of Professor Metcalf, and
and his able corps of assistants, the
Tombstone public school has become one
of its most credtiible institutions and
one of which every inhabitant should feel
rjpud. Tv,piIowing,i3 the programme
as carried 'Hvryesterday:
Song by the school entitled, "Milt
May." '

appears on the programme, it cannot
forbear making mention of Frank and
Lillie McAllister and Rosa Proops whose
reading and recitations were perfectly

lected any of the opportunities afforded
them in the school room. After the con
elusion of the days excercises, the ch'l
dren departed to their homes in a reluc
tant manner, ,to think of the many
happy hours spent in fitting themselves
for th: responsibilities of positions of
usefulness to which they will in the iutnre
be called to act their part.
Not Settled.
The Supreme Court of Kansas has
decided that when a woman marries she
need not take her husband's name unless
she chooses. Probably the Supreme
Court of Kansas thinks it's done it now.
This may be a great decision, but it isn't
of enough practical value to pay for
recording. The old question when a
woman marries of "Who's boss?" still
remains unsettled.
The action of the Supervisors in pre
paring to fund the county indebtedness
meets the hearty approval of the tax
payers of the county. This will not only
place the business of the county in a
more tangible shape, but will reduce
the present rate of interest. The tep is
well taken and we feel that no difficulty
will be experienced in selling the bonds
to a good advantage.

or not the jurymen were fined for con
tempt of court.
Some six or seven men from Down
ings canyon, will make their affidavit
that Jim. Barrock, was at the Downing

ble effort will be made to prove an alibi
in his case.
New Mexico strikers are making des
