 The pupils ofthe public achool here are conducting Juvenile Literary Society, choosing officers from among themselves and holding meetings every Friday afternoon. By this means, they not only acquire confidence for public speaking, but learn also how to act at a public meeting and how to conduct one. The feature yesterday afternoon was a debate by Masters Paul Spafford and Henry Ashur.t, on the question, "Resolved: That Flagstaff will never have a population of 5,ooo." The arguments were spirited and so nearly equal that the society, as judges, de, cided the debate a tie.
 Deputy-Sheriff Francis received the following telegram Sunday forenoon from J. H. Farlee, of Peach Spring.:

They broke open two stores in town and got away with SIC in silver, five or ten dollars in nickles one Winchester rife GAS 6o), stock filled with brass tacks; also five hun dred cigar" "

G.6. 4. COHCEET

The concert given by Ransom Post, G. A. K. last Saturday evening, for the benefit of the relief fund, was a grand success. Long before the hour for the exercises to commence the hall was filed with large and apprecia- tive audience. The programme, which consisted of songs, duets, addresses, and recitations. was excellent, and each and every one acquitted them selves well in theIr different parts. The recitation by Miss Laura H0x- worth was admirably rendered and its delivery was perfect.
 The address by Thos, G. Norris, Esq, although impromptu, was ex- cellent, and showed that Mir. Norris was in perfect accord and sympathy with the "Old Vets" and that in him they had a warm friend. We would not desire to have to encounter Thomas in a joint discussion on any subject. "He draws too much water for us" The song by the twins, Ira and Irene Hoxworth, showed consid- erable talent for such little folks. The entertainment closed with the song, "John Browns Body" in which the entire audience joined. All in all, it was most enjoyable affair, and we hope the members of Ransom Post will soon favor our people with anoth- CT of these pleasant concerts.

ProbabIy the frs: though, that strikes the

Probably the first thought that strikes the
candid citizen on reading the proposal OF Attor-
ney General HOrd, OF Indiana, for breaking Up
Mormon polygamy by enaeting the iaxest Of
divorce laws for Utah and then turning a lot of
female adventures loose upon the Saints, Is
that such a scheme comes with i'll grace from
the highest law officer of populous and civil
ized state. But the careful reader will go fur
ther, and wonder that any man of public
prominence should attempt to discuss a ques-
ton OF the importance of this with so
slight a knowledge of the history of the sub
ject- The Mormon women says Mr.. Hord
-are sincere believers In the alleged revelations
To Joe Smith, and they enter into polygamous
matrimony a religious act The fact Is, as
Mr.. Hord ought TO know. that the alleged reve-
iations 10 Joseph Smith contain no polygamous
doctrine. Smith himself was a mOuogamist,
and brought up his family to follow his exam
pie. Al this very day there is an irreconeiabIe
schism In the Mormon church over the ques-
tion of poIygamy, the smith M0rmons holding
that the later revelations" whereby Brigham
Young and his coparceners justified their po-
lygamous practices, are spurious. There is
nothing easier than to show how to settle the
great problem, on-hand, as MIR. Hord does,
either on paper by word of mouth; but a
prime requisite to the successful application OF
the solvent principle Is to know what one Is
talking or writing about.

The news that one of the largest bucket-shops
in New York city has closed its doors will sur
prise no one who knows how such Institutions
are conducted. Their theory is that the anna
teur speeulator is sure to lose his money i'm the
long run, and that they afford to take all
his wagers against fate. Not a share of stock Is
actually bought or sold by them nor is there
even a contract for purchase or sale. The whole
operation is the baldest form of gambling, with
all the odds In favor of the bank: for the custo-
ner must in every case lay down his cash in
advance. and no court will enable him to get il
back, while the house has always the privilege
OF winding up its business without notice
whenever the game is going against ii. That
Is the case with the concern which has Just
failed in New York. Its customers have been
steadily stalking their money rise in
prices, and the rise has come. Hence the
house has been compelled to pay out more dol
lars than it has taken in. It's cheapes; and
quickest way out OF such a losing trade was TO
put up the shutters; and now the customers
who have deposited margins with IL, or left
their earnings in bank to be called in later will
have the blessed privilege OF whistling for their
money Yet it is safe to say that, in spite of all
the warnings conveyed by this and other cases
OF daily occurrence, there will be plenty of
patronage for every shop that hangs out sign
and makes good show of business.
