THAT BULLION TAX.
It Shall not DC Repealed: BuI
 it was all the Same.
An Incident Only About Five
 Years Old.

In coming an old file of the Tomb stone Nugget, the first paper published in the camp, the quill driver of THE DAILY TOMBSTONE ran across the fol- lowing telegram from Prescott to the then editor, A. E. Fay. The senders of the missive were elected on plat form, pledging the nominees to use use every honorable means to prevent a repeal of the Bullion Tax Law. The amusing thing in connection with the telegram is that in less than thirty days after the dispatch was sent, one of the scnders, B. A. Fickas, a mem Der of the Council, voted to repeal the Bullion Tax Law. There were no doubt "good and sufficient" reasons presented to MT. Fickas, to induce his change of mind, but they have never been made public. It is not too late to present them, and THE TOME STONE offers itself as medium for their production. The following IS the telegram referred to:
 PRESCOTT, Feb. 3, 18S1-10 p. m.- Cochise county bill passed as you printed it except section seven which was stricken out. Bullion Tax will not be repealed, as the result of the petition sent up Ey the mining men has been to make our new county as sume ten thousand dollars indebted ness. We think it nothing but right that they should pay it, and will not make the notifications we had in tended; they have defeated their own purposes, as well as made themselves ridiculous.
 Appointments of county officers will probably be made tomorrow.
 Council has the confirmation of all appointments.
 Prescott will retain the Capital, for her delegates stood by us nobly in the fight for Cochise, and will stand against the repeal of the bullion tax. We did all we could against the as sumption of the indebtedness, but the absolute veto power in the Governor was too strong for us. Itwas only fun to carry it through the legislature, despite Haynes and Hereford's oppo- sition; they voted with us on the amended bill, but were too late to get the capital.
 Not many laws have been passed yet. An effort will be made to secure an early adjournment, and then have an extra session called, at which the capital will be moved, but the scheme won't work.
 The session will probably last sixty days, as most of the important gen. cral legislation has been delayed by the fight over the county bills.
 Circuit or County Courts will be es- abolished. A new registration law will be passed; the old gambling law is revived; small appropriations will be made for roads and other purposes
 A bill will be introduced i'll the Council to move Pima's county seat to Tubac H. M. WoODs,

Dreams.
TOMBSTONE, Jan. 19, 1886.

MT. Krueger'S new piece entitled "Dreams or Fun in Photograph Gallery" which was produced last night at Schieffelin Hall drew a large and fashionable audience. The piece was well put on the stage, and the acting and singing to use the words expressed by our "devil," twas simply immense" For three hours the en- tire audience was kept in a continual roar of laughter. Great were the re- grets of those who failed to attend last evening, and this morning num- bers of our fellow citizens tried to pursuade the troop to remain over another day, but as they had been billed to appear in Fl Paso on the Doth, it was impossible for them to re- main. We recommend this troop to the people of Arizona, New Mex ico and Texas, as frst-class in every particular.

Pardoned From sing Sing.

The career of Jennie Mcpherson is famil-
lar to all readers of the papers. She is of
good family and came to Minneapolis from
her home in Morris about four years ago.
She is said to be the niece of Fargo jour
nalist. In this city she married William
Mcpherson. from whom she was divorced,
on the ground of drunkenness, in July. 1882.
Since that she has not led life of recti-
tude. Locating out on Franklin avenue,
she was driven away by the chief of police
owing 10 her lascivious conduct. She
finally became enamored of a man named
Jones, with whom she suddenly left the
city. On July 5. 1885, she was found guilty
of forgery in the state OF New York and
was sentenced to Sing Sing for five years.
1t having since been conclusively shown
that she committed the felony at the in
stance of Jones. who is well-known in Min
neapolis. Gov. Hill has been induced to
pardon her, and she is once more breathing
the air of freedom.

general comment in the department. Some
are favorable and others contrary-wise.

that three well-known East side young
men, named Mccormack, Durgan and
Upton, had hired from them rig the day
previous which had not been returned. The

the horse had run away.
Constable Cressy of Richfield found W.
II. Wolf. well-known East side butcher,

had loaned a man named Brown, and at
once set claim to it. Wolf was taken be-
fore Chief West. and there he claimed that
he paid a stranger $40 for the coat at the

The local architects are still exercised
over the problem as to who will draft the
plans for the proposed new public library
building. and not few of them express the
opinion that some other than Minneapolis
man will be selected.
