Snuff Used BY Everybody,

'In those days (the early part of
this century, every body, man and
woman alike, used yellow snuff. 1t
came in bladders containing about a
peck measure, and was sold at whole
sale in Hartford by Harvey Seymour,
who was agent for Lorillard. 1t was
so strong and SO cheap that a pen
ny's worth would fill good sized
snutf-box. Whenever the people ex-
hausted their supply they sent their
boxes up to the store, with big PEN
ny inside of each. The chewing of
tobacco was also an almost universal
custom. The weed came in three
cent papers. Some was from Virgin
lathe Cavendish. We also had
plug-'pigtai'-in kegs of about a
hundred pounds weight, much like
the plug of to-day, but the strips
seemed bigger. There were half
pound papers of tobacco for pipes.
Everybody, as well as men, smoked a
pipe; nobody used cigar. l do not
think cigar was used prior to 1920
The first tobacco was planted between
rows of cabbages and other plants, to
protect them from insects. Hence,
perhaps, the cabbage flavor some to-
bacco has nowadays.-Ed. Then
housewives made little garden en-
tirely of it. The cigars were made at
odd times by women and children
and packed in chestnut boxes of 100.
For these ten cents were charged
They were known as long mines, be-
ing very long and slim. From this
slight beginning comes probably the
big cigar business now done in the
Connecticut valley."-Hartford Conn

DentI. ofa Good Man.

A few days ago we announced through these columns that Dr. H. NJ Matthews was confined to his bed by a serious attack of pneumonia, and to- day it is our sad duty to chronicle his death, which occurred about D: c this morning.
 Dr. Mathews was born in Virginia, in the year 1925, and was 60 years of age at the time of his death. When IT year. of age he began the practice of medicine and surgery, and when the war broke out he volunteered as a surgeon, and served with distinc- tion throughout the entire war of the rebellion. He was afterwards trans ferred to Arizona, where he has re- mained ever since. He came to Tombstone in 1879 and has resided here continually ever since. He was 2 member of Burnside Post, G. A. R. and at the time of his death was Cor oner of Cochise county.
 The deceased was well liked by all who knew him, and he will be mourned by all the old timers in the camp. He well be buried on Sunday, under the auspices of Burnside Post. It is expected that all the officers of the county government will attend his funeral, also the physicians of this city, as well as a large concourse of our citizens.

From a Legal Point.

EDITOR TOMBSTONE If the school board contemplate raising the salaries of the teachers and continuing the schools, in case the tax is voted down, as is reported they will, the sooner they relinquish that idea the better. You cannot, Messrs. Trustees, by any power on earth, reopen the schools nntil next December, if this tax is not carried. If you attempt it the tax payers will serve an injunction on your honorable" body restraining you from paying any teacher while there is no money in the treasury and no prospect of any. LAWYER.

PRESCOTT, A. T., February 3.
 By ten o'clock this morning the scaffold was completed in the court house plaza, for the execution of Dilda, for the murder of Under Sheriff Lawlor. Ropes had been extended around the scaffold in order to keep the crowd back. The scaffold was the same one used here some years ago. A large crowd of people have been crowdipg in the plaza since early this morning.
 As the clock in the bell tower over the jail struck one, the funeral pro cession of which Dilda was to furnish the corpse, emerged from the jail. The Catholic priest was ahead, chant ing prayer next in order came Deputy Sheriff Hickey and the con demned man, while Sheriff Mulvenon, Chief of Police Dodson, and other officials brought up the rear. Dilda kept his eyes on the ground, until he ascended the gallows platform, when  he raised his head and glanced over the sea of faces upturned toward him, as if he were searching for one kindly face or one friend, bEt the stern looks of all that crowd, caused him to think different if he had expected One. I'm mediately after he ascended the plat form his arms and legs were pinned, and he was then seated upon chair and asked whether he had anything to say. In answer he staled in husky voice that, "what I might say would not do me any good, uut am innocent" The priest then said short prayer in which Dilda joined. He was then told to stand up, and the black cap was pulled over his head and face. When this was done his body shook like an aspen leaf and he would have fallen to the floor, had not the Sheriff cut the rope and launched him into space. He drop ped at exactly 1:15, and life was de- clared extinct at l :22.
 At least 2,O00 peop.e witnessed the execution, and the general expression was that he get what he deserved.

 ONE OF THE LAKES.
The Daily Tombstone., 1886-02-05

Wichita, Kansas, has newspaper called the Beacon, and the place has also citizen named James Lucas, who can lay very good claim to be considered the champion liar of the country. MT. Lucas has written let ter to the aforesaid Beacon, in which he claims to have recently returned from the scene of the Indian troubles in Arizona. He locates the trouble in the Big Chino valley, on the Union Pacific Railroad. He lays the blame Of the whole difficulty upon the cow boys, and says the outbreak was caused by one of them shooting 9 "Nalapsi'' Indian, simply because the peaceful Indian "bothered" him. The probabilities are that MT. Lucas never set his foot on Arizona soil. Locating the scene little south of the Union Pacific road, and calling the hostile Indians the "Nalapsis," tribe no one ever heard of, shows the kind of stuff this man Lucas has palmed off on the readers of the Wichita Beacon The whole letter is a series of colossal lies.

The Chinese Question.


 A few days ago we published an article on the Chinese question and called upon our citizens to take some steps against the further introduction of Chinese into this town, and to go further and get rid of those we have here now.
 We stated at that time :hat the Chinese were encrJaching upon the business of our citizens and the pro phecy that some time in the future they will be working in the' mines to the detriment of white men, Gin say ing this we do not mean the mines now running, for veil We know that Messrs. White, Gage, Cheeney and others woull never think of such 3 tang, but theEe are new mines being developed every day which are pass ing into the hands of elstern cap italists who wouli willingly put Chinese to work), whose families are here and who pay taxes and are d part of the government.
 That we are not premature in our call to the citizens of Tombstone to rid themselves of the Chinese, we will publish an extracts from a Pheaix pa per, and an advertisement from the Tucson Citizen:
 "There is not day that the stage comes in but what it carries one or two Chinese passengers from the rail road to this place. It would seem that the agitation in California is driving this undesirable class of peo- pie into our midst. ."-Phenix Herald
 From the advertising columns of the Tucson Citizen:
 Grocery and provision store, Chan Tin Wo, proprietor. Best groceries and provisions always on hand. Also a complete stock of China goods. 102 and 104 Main corner of Ott street. Hay and feed. Chan Tin Wo is pre- pared to supply the Tucson market with the very best of hay and grain. Give him a call at 102 and 104 Main street. corner of Ott, Tucson, A. T."
 From the foregoing it will be seen that the Chinese are flocking into Phenix and have now monop9lized the restaurant business of the garden | city.
 In Tucson they have monopolized the restaurant business and are also competing with citizens in the general merchandising business. How long will it be before they try to do. the same in Tombstone. Now is the time and the appointed hour to rid. om- selves of this Chinese incubus. Let our citizens call public meeting and pass lawful resolutions, and then stand by the same, and we will soon be rid of the Chinese.

EDITOR TOMBSTONE The slave who is doing the dirty work for the old Townsite Company, through the me dium of the Epitaph. over tne name "Contention" is making poor capital for his employers. Hnoaing as they do that if this tax is carried they will be compelled to do what they have eyadcd heretofore, viz: the payment of their taxes, they are leaving no stone unturned to defeat, be hook or crook the voting of their tax. As last resort, witness the employment of this parody on humanity to bolster up the tottering ruins of their unright- eous cause. But the people will not be misled by any such chaff.

 The letter from Guadalupe Canyon which appears in another column will be read with interest, inasmuch as it gives the views of an army officer who is rather bellgerent in his tone.
