TWO YEARS AGO.

Two years ago the l4th of February our flourishing town was destroyed by fire.
 Many will remember the desolate appearance the town presented on that fatal morning of Feb, l4th 1886. Not a business house left standing and a number of people on the streets with out the shelter of roof to cover them.
 How changed have things become in two short years. To-day the town is four times the size it was two years ago, Fine stone, brick and frame build ings have been erected and to day Flagstaff is one of the most thriving, prosperous towns between Kansas City and San Francisco.
 Everything goes to show that Flag staff is enjoying steady tide of pros perity. Nota ''boom"iin the generally accepted meaning of that word, where Q town rushes ahead and often falls back as fast as it went up--but a reli, able, solid growth; which, in the near future will make it one of the most i'm, portant business points in the south west.

 TIE House Committee of the Judi ciary has considered the bill introduced for increasing the number of judges in Arizona, and it has reported it back adversely. The committee report that by the tenth census Arizona had pop ulation of but 40, 1000. It says; '1ndulg' ing the largest and most liberal supposi' tion as to the increase since 1880, it is safe to say that the population has not more than doubled. The judges of the Circuit and Superior courts of the States, try and determine the suits brought in population of from l5O,' 900 to 100000. and the committee is of the opinion that the three judges in Arizona ought to try all the original and appellate cases in that Territory of less than 100, ,0O0 people"

ST. vAENr,sE,s DAY.

TIE l4th of February-as usual this year brought considerable a. mount of work to the post office, and Flagstaff was as busy any of them in proportion to its size. Of all the canon ized saints, St. Valentine is certainly the most popular, and his popularity seems to be increasing every year to judge by the increasing quantity of mis- sives circulated which bear his name. History is not very clear as to what the old man had to do with love affairs. He was monk and suffered martyr dom for his adherence to the Christian faith and this is said to have happened on the l4th of February, since which time the circumstance of his being roas. ted alive OF crucifed as the case may have been, has been duly celebrated year after year by the sending of tender or humorous letters from one sex to the other, through the mails. St. Valentine from the fact of his being a monk, could only have admired women in general but he may have favored marriage as one of the sacraments of the faith ht died for.
 In some of the old countries the first person seen on the morning of St. Val entine's day by one of the opposite sex--provided both are unmarried is claimed to be their Valentine or flu ture mate. This is modern idea dc rived from the old Greek plan of ob taining mate. Early in the morning of the day the Athenian youths drop ped their letters into a vase at thu feet of the God Pan, and later thu Athenian maids went and drew fortl one each, and the writers of the mis sive drawn became their mates. Thi! must have been simple plan but t wouldn't suit a Chicago or New Yorl girl who hunts up husband with thu same vigor and determination that sh' afterwards shows in getting divorce

THERE is no doubt that the moder- ate priced and serviceabls clothing woru by ninety-nine out of every one hundred men and boys in the United State, is as cheap and good in this coun- try a, it is in England. This applies to all articles of clothing which the aver. ago man and boy wears. The tariff on wool, therefore, and on woolen and cot ton fabrics, affects the rich only, and they arc able to stand it.

THE. "cattle poisoner" is, without a doubt, one of the meanest creatures on earth and should not be allowed to remain unhung when once discovered. One of these wretches has been at work near Newark, Ohio, where he admin istered poison to three fine cows. It is hoped the guilty party will be found and made to suffer as he deserves, It would be hard to name a punishment severe enough for such miserable cusses.

A Life on the Ocean Wave

Indurates the stomach against sea sickness, but
single or occasional transit across the "illimit-
able wetness" is productive of grevious qualms,
especially when 1t is stormy. Ocean travellers,
yatchmen, ship surgeons, commercial buyers
sent abroad, voyagers by steamboat, and all who
are occasionally or frequently called upon to be
where "billows are buifetted'' should take along
Hostetter's stomach Bitters, the finest known
antidote for sea sickness, malaria, biliousness,
and disorders of the stomach and bowels. Many
travellers by railroad, with delicate stomachs
and nerves, likewise suffer severely en- route.
These Will find the Bitters surely helpful and
consolatory Travelling, even in swift, steady
and commodious steamships and sumptuous
palace cars, is not always source of unmixed
Joy and delight. and the Bitters does much to
waited by delicate health. Rheumatism, brought
on by damp weather, kidney troubles aud de.
bility, are ettectually relieved by the Bitters.
