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." ' Recitation "Speech of Brutus," by Clarence CofTman.

Every thing passed of pleasantly and in a man ner highly creditable to each participant While the bPITAPH has not the space to eulogize each of the students whose name appears on the programme, it cannot forbear making mention of Frank and Lillie McAllister and Rosa Proops whose reading and recitations were perfectly iprSiaiJ.shwinhjttiehj 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. When the earthquake shock reached Splomonville, Judge Barnes was holding court. He hurriedly adjourned and the bailiff, in charge of a jury, fled from his post of duty leaving them locked up. It was only the woik of a moment for that augist body to fiad a speedy exit thrnugh a small window, and all hands, met on the street. Ir is not known whether 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 saw mill, during the day and night of the train robbery. In fact some of them have already filed their depositions to this effect, and it looks as though a teri ble effort will be made to prove an alibi in his case. New Mexico strikers are making des perate efforts to prevent our cattlemen jfrom getting a trail across their border nto Montana, but their opposition is is (utile the trail will be made. The Grand Central company will put a force of men on the Grand Dipper mine, within the next few days. This company has lately been putting extra men on sev eral other properties, all of which augurs yaad for the camp. Supervisor T. J. White, went down to Benson yesterday to be gone sever.l days looking after his cettle interest on the San Pedro.

White" brand of butter. the leading California dairy production is constantly kept on hand and for sale at Wolcott's. It is amusing to hear the many flimsy excuses given by a majority of men when examined as to their qualifications as jurers. Mr. Lou Williams one of the Copper yueen magnates o: uisoec came over from that village yesterday and was cir culating among his friends. Mr.-William Goult, route agent for the Well's Fargo express Company arrived in the city yesterday, remaining only a few hours. He left on the evening coach.

The Democratic roosters that are crowing over Rhode Island's 'permanent conversion to Democracy apparently for get that, as a geiseral thing, there are more eggs in the setting-than there are chickens in the brood. Some exchange says the fact has been developed that a flea is hatched from an egg. This may be true, but we are inclined to doubt it, from the fact that, from our knowledge of that insect, It seems it would be a difficult matter for a flea to stay still long enough to lay an The nights now arc of that lovely char acter when the lovesick swains and lasses linger at the front gate and pledge themselves to be true through thick and thin or at least until the old man appears on the scene and adjourns the meeting sine die, using his No. 10 boot as a gavel. The fight over the license law has been commenced in Prescott, by the arrest of one of the prominent saloon men of that city, on a charge of violating the law.
