No other man in all Ari-zonr could have saved the prison this session aside from himself. He is not only a brainy, able man, but is a good, true man to his constituents. Something a little out of the ordinary in the matrimonial line occurred in Lamar, Missouri, the other day. Divorces were granted George and Pearl Hill, Isaac and Hester Williams.

Immediately thereafter marriage licenses were secured and the members of the quartette were re-wedded, but each to the former conjugal partner of the other, a complete swap having been made. The Wyoming legislature in bidding for the sugar beet industry goes the Arizona and New Mexico legislatures one better and includes in the exemption from taxation the land upon which the beet are raised The law as passed by the Wyoming legislature reads: "All property shall be exempt from taxation used in the production of sugar beets, the plants for the manufacture of sugar, as well as the land upon which the beets are raised, for a period of 10 years." The South western Stockman says, There was a general feeling of satisfac tion expressed upon the raising of the quarantine on several of the counties of Arizona. This febiing is freely expressed by the residents of the counties referred to, aa well as the cattle buyers ho b-'l 1 tbosp counties, TL i TcJeral autlioritit-arts satisfied thai the Arizona. urc prepared to Uke cure oi Uie local situation at all times and the states which aro watching us art assured of the fact that no one is more interested in the welfare of our cattle interests than are the persons appointed lor this purpose in Arizona, and who always carefully guard our own interests, while at the same time having an interest in states to which our cattle go. Never before in the history of Arizona has so much interest been manifested in tbe growing of sugar beets as during the present season.

Meetings are being held to discuss the subject, and two sugar beet companies have already been organized in the Salt Eiver valley. No doubt the great success in the Pecos yalley last year has much to do with awakening the present interest in Arizona. In answer to the question, What kind of soil is necessary for the successful growing of the sugar beet Wm. Stowe Devol, director of the experiment station, writes that "any moderately fertile soil that may be easily cultivated to the depth of twelve or fifteen inches is suited to the culture of sugar beets. A very light, sandy soil, a veTy rich soil and a heavy clay or adobe are objectionable.

The best results have been obtained upon moderately fertile, sandy loam. THE NEWSPAPER FELONY, The Tucson Star takes the passage in the lower house of the Newpaper Felony bill, very seriously, and publishes in an editorial, the following sentiments deprecating such legislative joking One of the most suggestive bills which was which passed to the council and was there tvHs tnc bill to prohibit luc Uu.icaou iu Arizona, uJ declaring sw.h publications to be a felony. It may be said the bill was introduced and passed the house as a joke, and all that, but It must not be forgotten that the legislative assembly is a law-making power, and not organized for the purpose of perpetrating jokes of this or any other kind. It would seem that some of the bills providing appropriations for services never performed or services ulready paid for, are on a par with the one above referred to, especially some of the relief bills WALKING ARSENALS. A late Associated Press dispatch from Chicago tells of the following state of afiairB in that city On the principle that it is an ill wind that blows nobody good, dealers in smaU firearms are congratulating themselves that the carnival of store and street holdups has given their business a more decided boom than it has experi-ienced since the great railroad strike and the so-called Chicago riots Despite the heavy penalties provided by law for the carrying of concealed weapons, it is said that i.om 50 to 60 per cent of the male population who are out after nightfall provide themselves with means of protection.

In most of the saloons, especially in the outlying districts, a revolver can be found reposing on a shelf under the bar or worn in the hip pocket of the bartender, and the same applies to drug stores and other places of business such as restaurants that keep open uutil a late hour or all night. In the business office of one of the largest gas companies in the city a navy revolver rests in full view on the counter immediately bahind the cash, drawer, although. Schillings Best are, the whole, the best the receiving clerk is protected from outside attacks bv an abundance of wire netting. It is the consensus of opinion among dealers that there are more revolvers being carried or other-, wise used for purposes of protection in this city than ever before. Loaded canes, on the other hand, are a.

drug in the market. All the ticket-sellers of the Metropolitan Elevated road have also been equipped with revolvers This indicates that the inhabitants of the windy city are experiencing anything but a eense of security. After all, life and property are just as secure out in the wild and woolly west as in the centers of civilization. THE GILA MONSTEB. Scientists Know Little of His Venom and Habits.

John-Van Denburg recently delivered an interesting lecture at the Academy of Scien.i in Sn Francisco npoix tho subjectof tnc iOnter. A good sized audience was present. "It has been a common supposition for years," said the lecturer, "that the bite of the Gila monster was aa poisonous as that of a rattlesnake, but many of the scientists denied this. Numerous eminent scientific men stated that the bite was harmless. One of these, Dr.

Schufelt, had himself been bitten by one of the reptiles and, beside the pain occasioned by the ordinary bite of an animal, no ill results followed." The lecturer then stated that he had demonstrated that the saliva of the Gila monster was poisonous. Its bite would in almost every case cause death if the teeth of the lower jaw penetrated the skin. It was the upper jaw of the reptile which sank into the flesh of Dr. Schufelt, and as the secretation of the glands of the upper jaw was harmless, the doctor lived. The speaker said that he had injected the saliva of both the upper and lower glands into pigeons, and in every case where that from the lower jaw was in jected the victim had died in a Bhort time.

He showed why so many animals which are bitten by the poisonous reptile live. The ducts which lead from the glands to the mouth open between the lower lip and the gum. For the saliva to enter a wound it must be forced up from the lip to the teeth and thence into the wound. Thus it is hard for the poisonous fluid to reach the blood even if the victim is bitten by the lower teeth. The lecturer illustrated the points of his discourse by the stuffed body of one of the reptiles.

a a GOOD COMPOSITORS Must Know More Then tho Average Mechanic. Pr-as and Print I eraluro lucre has come a wider iu.e;esi in typography Intelligent, thinking readers of books and newspapers have learned that composition is one of the most exacting accupations that a man can follow, requiring, for anything like a proper performance, good eye nimble fingers, and a physical organism capable of sustained effort. Standing at the case, and picking up type at any speed, is no weakling's effort, and no delicate or impaired phyisque can stand the strain lor an length of time. Be sides keenness of vision, steadiness of nerve, and tough muscles, the compositor should possess a general education about the average. Not a knowledge of the dead languages, nor a smattering of the modern ones; but he shouid be well grounded in tho grammar of his own tongue.

It is absolutely necessary that he should be a master of or-thogra hy, for faulty spelling is unpardonable in a compositor. He should be as perlect in punctuation as in spelling Many writers do not know how to pro perly construct sentences, and trust to compositors and readers for the proper punctuation of their work. There is an ancient aphorism which says that red-haired printers are always the fastest. Perhaps this is true, because a sanguine temperament, as a rule, accompanies an inherently healthy physique, one capable of enduring long spells of exacting work by body and mind, without producing lassitude of muscles and dullness of mtellect.

WASHINGTON LETTER. JFrom Our Regular Correspondent. "Washington, D. March 12. Mr.

McKinley is likely to be much more interested in the senate than in the soft speeches the army of office- seekers are now pouring into his ears, if certain plans now being strongly urged are carried out. The majority of the senate is composed of silver men, but they represent three separate partiesDemocrats, Populists and Silver Eepublicans. The greediness of the Republicans in claiming the right to change the complexion of the Committee on Finance by filling both vacancies with gold Eepublicans, has aroused the silver men, and the proposition has been made that they shall combine and reorganize the Benate by deposing the Republicans from the chairmanships of all important committees and by giving the silver senators control of all committees. In other words, to put the legislative machinery of the senate into the hands of the silver men. This proposition will not be easy to carry into effect because of the difficulty of combining men who agree on nothing but silver, but it haB frightened the Republicans badly.

Senator Teller was speaking from personal experience, having himself been secretary of the interior from April 17, 18S1, to March 4, 1S85, when he told the senate that Mr. McKinley had made a serious mistake when he nominatad Cornelius N. Bliss to be secretary of the interior. He said that Mr. Bliss was a banker and merchant, wllh an experience which might have fitted him for the head of some of the 'aw fopurtment ought to be a i vji-i.

Mr. Teller did not speak spirit of autagonlsm to Mr. Bliss, nor did he vole against his confirmation he merely called attention to what he believed to be a mistake. As might beimagined, those senators and representatives who are opposed to Czar Reed's idea of confining tbe legislation of the extra session of congress to the tarifl bill by not appointing the committees of the house which would have to act upon other bills, are not grieving over the failure of four of the regular appropriation bills the sundry civil, agricultural, Indian and deficiency. Czar Reed already has another scheme to prevent general legislation.

It is to authorize, by joint resolution, a continuance of all tbe regular appropriations of the current year up to next December. There was a more or less interesting Republican rumpue in Washington the day after theinanguration, about which yery little has been heard. A meeting of Republican clubs had been called for that day by Colonel John Bowles for the announced purpose of adopting resolutions advising the new administration what it should do to retain the support of these clubs. General Woodmausee, who is chairman of the Executive Com- mittee of the National Organization of Republican clubs, and who claimed that the individual clubs represented at this convention could not properly act upon such resolutions aa were to be offered, succeeded in having the convention ad journ aB soon as it was called to order. There was some very warm talk about this application of the gag, but the scent of the pie counter made it mostly -'vbisnered aiming hns1 Ex-Senator Blackburn will attend the extra spgsion of rOn'xcky legisla ture that has been called to elect a senator, and will make a strong fight for his own re-election, notwithstanding the Republican majority in that body.

Nobody expects the senate to seat Major Wood, who has been appointed to the vacancy by Governor Bradley, and whether tho gentlemen appointed by tbe governors of Florida and Oregon will fare any better remains to bo seen. King Hanna has got everything he has reached for up to date, bat certain senators who think he is now reaching after too much are preparing to give him a disappointment, and there are big odds in favor of their succeeding. King Hanna is reaching for a place on the Senate Finance committee, on which there are two vacancies, caused by the retirement of Sherman and Voorhees, in order that he may be properly fixed to boss the tariff bill, which will go to that committee as soon as it gets through the house. No new senator has been given a place on that committee in the memory of the oldest senator, but that doesn't make any difference to Hanna. He wants it, and has made his want known.

It is practically certain that-, ir wnn 't eet it. Tom Piatt also wants a place on this committee, bufc as he has been in the senate before, his aspiration is not considered as audacious as thatof King Hanna, but whether he will get the place is very, very doubtful. Ex-Secretcry Carlisle has been offered the position of general counsel for the! runman uar company, now held by General Horace Porter, who expects to go abroad, at a salary of $25,000 a year, and the expectation is that Mr. Carlisle will accept the offer. A QUORUM OF CONGRESS A Great Deal of Business Transacted without One.

The concluding article of "This Country of Ours" series by ex President Harrison appears in the March Ladies' Home Journal. It completes "The Sen- ate and House of Representatives" ar- ticle. Ia it General. Harrison gires this intcre.iui, It uv i gress: "A majority of each House, under the Constitution, constitutes a quo rum for the transaction of business. If a quorum is not present, and that fact is disclosed by a yea and nay vote, business must stop until a quorum is secured.

But the members present are empowered by the Constitution to adjourn from day to day and to compel the attendance of absent members, in such manner, and under such penalties as each House may A great deal of business is done in both the Senate and House when a quorum is not present, the absence of a quorum not being officially disclosed by a roll-call. The Sergeant-at-Arms is not an infrequent attendant at social receptions and din ners, but always an unwelcome one when he comes to demand the atten dance of truaut Senators or members upon their respective Houses. One-fifth of the members present may demand a vote by yeas and nays, and the vote must be recorded in the journal which each House is required to keep of its proceedings. This journal does not in clude the debates, which are, however, published in full daily in the 'Congressional "The Senators and members are privileged from arrest, except for treason, felony or breach of the peace, while in attendance upon their respective Houses, and while going to and returning from the meetings of Congress. A member may be punished by the House to which he belongs for disorderly behavior, and by a two-thxrds yote of the House may be expelled." THE T700L SCHEDULE McKinley Kates Adopted-Grower's Request Denied.

the 11th says The republican members of fhe way? and pf mittee devoted today to the considera tion of the wool schedule of the tariff bill, and although considerable progress was made one or two more days will be required to finish it. Foremost in the importance of work done today was the practical readoption of the McKinley rates on wool. Raw wool, class one. which includes merino, down clothing wools, and other soft qualities, are made dutiable at 11 cents a pound. Wool, class two, which includes Leicester.

Cotswald and Lincolnshire, at 12 cents a pound and washed wools of these classes at 22 and 24 cents, scoured at 33 and 30 cents a pound. The Mc Kinley rate of 32 per cent, ad valorem on wools of the third class, or carpet wools, is retained. The classification of wools was some what changed by the raising of a few varieties formerly classed as carpet wools to the clothing wool classes. Among them are China lambs, Egyptian and Morocco. The American Wool G-iowers' asso ciation has asked for a 12-cent duty on wools class one, but the committee has not approved their request.

A VERSATILE EDITOR. The Kind of Men Who Rim the Kansas Newspapers. I Chicago Tribune One of the most veratile men in the editorial profession seems to be Editor Hagaman of the Concordia (Kan.) Blade Mr. Hagaman not only declares that he can go to the case and "set up" editorials out of his head, which is considered quite a difficult feat among the craft in Kansas, but t1' bo "n- carrying on an animated conversation i he f-repress es a desire to wager 100 on this will compose and set an article on an3r subject to be chosen and at the same beat the best player in Wichita at game of checkers and worry any man in the state at a game of chess all the performances to be going on at the same moment." But Mr. Hagamau's accomplishments extend further.

He can get right down off the printer's stool, go into court, and be" the average lawyer of the state. He has done it. and modestly says he can doit again. He also declares that he can use more profanity in the briefest spase of time than any other editor in the state, and in this he is ready to meet all comers. "We will wager $100 with any preacher in the state," says he, "that we can outprav him, and will leave it to his congregation to decide." And when it comes to lying he will yield the palm only to the reporters of the Armenian troubles, the bubonic plague and the Cuban revolt.

THE BIG FIGHT. Fitziinmons Declared the Winner in Sixteen Hounds.

How Indians Are Named. TReview of Reviews As the Indian child grows he commits acts from tima to time each of which gives him a new name. For example, he may see a bear and run screaming to the tepee. The folks all laugh at him, and call him Runs-from-a-bear.

Later on he may become the possessor of an unruly pony which he fears to ride, and becomes known as Afraid-of-his-horse. Or, he may mount a horse from which another Indian has been thrown, and he then is spoken of as Rides-the-horse. Further on he becomes a great hunter and kills five bears and they call him Five-bears, and when, he slays another his name changes to Six-bears. He may yerform a valiant deed in battle and ride his horse through, tne camp of the enemy, for which he is dubbed Charges-through-the-camp. During the conflict he may kill one of the enemy.

If his victim is tho only one s'aln be ia called Kiils-tiie-cnemy. 3nt if others fall the one he has killed mast be described, as Kills-the-one-with- the-big knee. If he braids in hit hzv. 3 ji- T. from ths tail of an lie may be called jugiu-iuathen, i ciivw-inil or Yellow-feather.

If he gives it to his friend he will be named Gives-feather, but if he refuses to part with it his name will charge to Keeps-his-feather. Or he may obtain his name from some other object. If he is accustomed to ride what is commonly known as a "calico" horse he may be called Spotted-horse, but if his horse has a short tail ho will be know as Bob-tail-horse. The chances are that he will be known by all the foregoing names. His enemies in the tribe will continue to speak of him as Long-ears, Runs-from-a-bear, or Afraid-of-his-horse, while his friends will call him Rides-the-horse, Kills- the-enemy.

For this reason it occurs that if you speak of the Indian in the pnsence of certain members of the tribe and call him Six-bears they will laugh at you and say: "That not his name; his name Runs-from-a-bear." But if you speak of bim to certain others as Runs-from-a-bear they will scowl and say: That not his name; hia.name Kills-the-enemy." Hence it will be seen that the Indian names are nothing, a delusion and a snare, and the practice of converting them into English appears eminently unwise. It is certain that the name on the rolls at the agency is the interpretation of only one of the Indian's several "names." A short Indian name in their own vernaculai, or a syllable or so of along one, if euphonious and pronounceable, as they usually are, will answer quite well for a family name, but the translations are never satisfactory, and cannot be too strongly con-denied. Hard Work Can't Kill. kills. It doesn't: it don't.

Work may 'i nt thatis all Thu von fnv.t -eat. What good, hard work does is to make solid men. The healthiest men in tho world are the men who work hardest. It gives them appetite for their meals and brings refreshing sleep. Work all you like and can, only don't worry and don't keep late hours.

It is in the latter two points that danger lies not in work. Edward W. Box in March Ladies' Home Journal. Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair- MOST PERFECT MADE. A pure Grape Cream of Tartar Powder.
