Rather dull times; the only thing to
break the monotony is the skating
rink and lawsuits, both of which are
paying good interest on the money
invested.
The rink has been open nearly every
afternoon and evening since 1T was
completed, and has no lack of patron
age.
We had quite severe frosts in this
section last week Thursday and Fri.
day nights, doing large damage to
crops on the hills. On the river O.
thick fog prevailed and much damage
was done.
Mr.. William Johnson fell while in
the skating rink last week Thursday
evening and dislocated his wrist; he
will postpone skating now for a while.
Mr.. Daniel Heath is raising the roof
of his house, painting, and otherwise
improving his property.
We recently saw a Durham calf,
five months old, belonging to A. ].
Weeks, that tipped the beam at $50
pounds.

Mr.. VIM. Thomas of Newton, Ia,
says: MY wife has been seriously af.
fected with a cough for twenty-five
years, and this spring more severely
than ever before. She had used many
remedies without relief, and being
urged to try DIR. Kings New Discov-
cry, did so, with most gratifying re-
suits. The first bottle relieved her
very much, and the second bottle has
absolutely cured her. She has not

 men and ladies at the rink, The wei
 coming speech in behalfo of the citizens
 was felicitously made by Dr. Alexan.
 der Trippel, after which Messrs, Bailey
 and Watkins gave an account of their
 stewardship, and the audience showed
 their approval by earnest and vigor- ous applause.
 That they have done everything that was possible to guard the interest of taxpayers of Gila is beyond ques. tion, and 1t is also certain that they refused to engage in any entangling alliance for the promotion of unwise legislation, but were unable to arrest 1t and in consequence are thoroughly l disgusted with the chicanery of some | of the members, They class 0. c. joint councilman represent. ing Gila, Pima and other counties among the number of dishonest mem.

THE SKATING RlNK ENTERTAIN.
 MENT.

N
 There was large attendance at
 the Skating Rink last evening and the
 entertainment given was excellent
 Great interest centered in the skating
 race for which there were four entries.
 Messrs Lobman and Johnson were the
 contestants in the first heat which
 Lehman won. The result of the sec.
 ond heat was unsatisfactory owing to an accident to John DeLartge, one of the contestants. He had gained a long lead on his opponent Mos, and was skating rapidly when he fell and lost one of his skates, which put him out of the race and Moss fin. ished the distance leisarely. The com cluding heat between Lohman and Moss was exciting and close for the first few laps after which Lohman gradually drew away from his cp- ponent and won in tue good time of 3minutes, l4A seconds. The prizes were awarded to the contestants ofI the last heat A dance concluded the l entertainment and was participated 1 in by large number ofthose present
