smother to that number. Frank
ford Chronicle.
On Friday night last Vandalia was
visited by burglars. Four business
houses were entered and somewhere
near 5000, in goods and money, are
missing. VIM. Balthrope's saloon
was the first placed entered; his less,
consisting mainly Of fine cigars, was
about $500. c.. E. Blain's saloon
came next; loss about Sl2. Conard
& Pitzer's dry goods establishment
came next and their loss, consisting
Of clothing, dry goods, ETC., was
about 800. 1t would have been
somewhat larger but eleven suits OF
clothes were found the next morning
in o box o on the side track, which
it is supposed the thieves could not
get away with. A. W. Robinson's
drug store was the next place visited
by the festive gentry, but there they
took only what change there was in
the money drawers, between fifty
cents and one dollar. Our citizens
should be on the lookout, and, should
these gentlemen make u town an
other visit give them q warm recep-
ton. No clue to the thieves has yet
been discovered.-Vandalla Leader.
On Tuesday last we had the priv
ilege Of spending an hour at Hardin
Female College, Mexico, No., which
We think one of the best educational
institutes in the State. The location
is superb, the buildings extensive,
and the rooms provided with all the
modern appointments for carrying
forward the work Of education. The
institution, with its more than one
hundred pupils, about seventy of
whom are boarders, is managed by
Mrs. H. T. Baird, than whom there
are but few, if any, better educators
in the west. The term just closing
has been u very successful one, and
Mexico is, or should be, immensely
proud of the eollege.-Carrollton

Kind and Approving Words.

Since the publication of Mr.. Biggs'
political record in the Chronicle, it
has been the recipient Of numerous
compliments and approving express
sions, Of which the following from
Louisiana, is q fair sample:
"You are doing noble work for the
cause of Democracy. Democrats
everywhere applaud you for the fear
less manner in which you show up
the political capers Of W. H. Biggs,
who is now posing as a Democratic
candidate for Congress. When your
paper came out exhibiting him in his
true light, it would have done your
heart good to see with what relish it
was read by Democrats. Continue
in your good work. for now, above
all other times we need tried and
true men in Congress, to battle for a
reform of the tariff and a reduction
OF war taxes. There are 80 traitor
Democrats in this Congress, who
voted with the Republicans against
the Morrison tariff bill; and it be-
hooyes us to see that we do not add
smother to that number. Frank

BLACK SAMPSON.
DESCRIPTION AND PEDIGREE.

DESCRIPTION AND PEDIGREE.
Black Sampson, (black jack 15z hands high, with meay nose, six
wears old this spring, bred near Lexington, KY, sired by Constitution, he
by Imp. Mammoth, ist dam a extra jennet, owned by Gibson at Duck
Station, End dam imported.
purchased this jack last fall at the 81. Louis fair of W. W. Adams.
Black Sampson is 10 inches around his arm, Z feet from top OF head to
root Of tail, S feet 10 inches around the heart, cans II inches long; This
Is q we'll shaped, strong jack; took the first premium at st. Louis last
fall and is a grand beast of the kind; has proved himself a superior
breeder for both mares and jennets, and a sure fal getter. We will allow
this lack to serve iennets for $50 to insure them in foal, and will pay
special attention to breeding them.

acquiring wealth. This has been especially the case in procuring results fir Om the cultivation of the soil. The old wooden gravel scratoher" has given place to the blow of the present age; the sickle to the reaper. the fail and other appliances for separating the grain from the staw, to the horse and steam power thresher, and innumerable other labor saving machines for the appliances of in- dustry that to-day, would make agricultural pursuits seem bur- lesque. Another evidence of the remarkable advance Ofcivilization in this particular, is more recent iy shown in the great irrigating canals, which water immense tracts of land heretofore only moistened in small patches. In western Kansas. in Colorado, in California and even in some parts of New and Old Mexico, as well as in AriZona, the canals are proving of almost incalcuiable benefit, in retaining soil as rich as any on the continent, and making ii bud and blossom with beauty and wealth. The time is not far distant, when millions of acres believed worthless by many people because it was not deemed accessible from the rivers and lakes, will be among the richest and most productive farming lands in the country, The new canals on the Salt and GiIa rivers now in course of construction at cost of $600,000 will nearly If not quite double the number of acres of agricultural land in that section of the Territory. Not only this, but it will encourage the con- structiou of other canals, and in the course of few years all ofthe available lands of Arizona will be brought under system of irriga- tion and made productive.-Citi- zen.

The following rule, recently adopted by the supreme court, ot the territory, may prove of in- terest to lawyers and litigants. It is an amendment of rule 2, of subdivision 9.
 Besides tbe original, there shall be filed ten copies of the transcript points and authorities statement of facts, also of printed briefs, if any, which copies shall be distributed by the clerk in the following manner: Two to each of the justices of the supreme court and to the territorial repor- ter of the Supreme court. one to the librarian of the territorial library, and one to the clerk of the court from which the appeal is taken. The above shall be in force on and after thirty days from it's adoption and publication. Adopted and published and de- clared to be a subdivision of a rule of the supreme court of Arizona this 17th day of January 1884.

leave Yuma about 2O'clOck in the morning, reach Los Angeles about eleven, and San Francisco at seven the next morning. Com ing this way. passengers will leave San Francisco at 8 o'clock in the afternoon, arrive in Los Angeles at 2 the following after noon and reach Yuma at 1 o'clock the same night. The reasons as signed for this change of time are, first, to shorten the time be- tween San Francisco and Deming and, Second, to get the passenger trains over the loop by daylight. This change will probably result in the abandonment of this point and Indio as eating stations,
 which will be anything but bene-
 icial to Yuma. The SENTINEL has been aware for some time, from high authority, that such changes would be made as would shorten the time between San Francisco and Deming; hut we regret that the alteration has been made in the manner in which it has. The new time card is said to go into effect about February 9th.

Mir. Oury has asked for :the establishment.of branch mint in Arizona, and has asked for $20,- 900 to mplate the Territorial prison at Yuma.-EX.
 We can see no practical benefit to be derived from an appropria- ton of S2O,OO0, or for any other sum for the completion of the Arizona penitentiary. The ins- titution is as ravenOus as d leech, and is constantly crying give, give, when there is no necessity for it, for the reason that priso- ners can be maintained in eastern penitentiaries without cost to the territory.-SIlver Belt.
 From the above it will be seen that the Belt man has beeu suff- ering from on acute attack Eof dlun't-knOW-Wh3t-he-WaS talk ing-about. For his information we will state that prisoners are not boarded free at such inStitu- tions, and the revenue which this territory would have derived from boarding U. s. prisoners would have amounted to about $15,O0O had the money been pro- perly accounted for. Then, too, if Oury has actually started to work at something, in Heavens name let him alone. Even an appropriation for the Territorial Prison at Yuma would be an i'm provement upon his past record for masterly inactivity.

It is with much regret that we learn of the death of Col. James A. Laven, formerly agent, at Yuma, for the Southern Pacific, railroad company, and, at the time of his decease, tLecense Collector for the city of San Francisco. Col. Laven was a man of most estimable character, combining rare manly qualities with the gentleness of @ woman. His appointment to the .impor. taDt position he held was a deserved compliment, and hls conduct of his official duties was characterized by energy, splendid executive ability and stern inte- gritty. His many friends in Yuma, are filed with sorrow at his demise.

of the county is not in a condition to
be available for this work, even if the
Commissioners could be induced to
use it for the purpose. Our citizens
must hel p themselves. Voluntary
contributions would be returned a
hundred fold, and our people cannot
afford to refuse to make them. Less
talk and speculation about the effect
of extending the railroad; less boosting
the value of town lots on lung basis,
and more substantial work, will soon
settle the question of rivalry of the
towns and make HALEY what it ought
to be.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1884-10-30

No citizen interested in the we'll.
being of Los Angeles will overlook
the fact that, at the ensuing election,
in addition 10 the political issues in
volvcd, the question is TO be deter
mined AZ TO whether or no we are to
have II new Court House for Los An
gelcs county. The Board Of Super
yisors have submitted to vote OF the
people a proposition to authorize the
issuance Of 1900, 900 worth Of bonds to
be used in the erection Of county
building commensurate with the
wealth and population OF Los Angeles.
The HERALD has always favored this
movement. We think il is Il burning
shame that we have had for 20 many
years to put up with the old ram
shackle barn in which the munimcnts
Of the county have been kept 20 long.
Documents relating to thirty million
dollars worth Of property have abso-
lutely no protection whatsoever
against the flames. Besides, the
wretched old hovel IL no longer capa-
BILE of containing the constantly ac-
cumulating mass of papers. We do
not know that the people of Los An
geles county will vote these bonds
but we know they ought to do no.
The HERALD always aims to be on
the side Of progress consequently, no
matter what the result may be, We
proclaim ourselves unhcsitatingly for
authorizing the contracting Of this
loan.
