Delicious Ice Creams,

Among all delicious ico creams none ex- ceed in delicacy that prepared with candied fruits Candied apricots, cherries and pine apple, cut fine and soaked in sherry wine, give, when added to plain cream, flavor unsurpassed.
 The best cake that can be served with ice cream is sponge cake, being neither too rich nor pronounced in flavor.
 To many tastes, plain cream, sweetened, favored and frozen, is the finest ice cream, as it is the simplest. Many eggs and much corn starch give custard which. frozen, is very inferior to the pure cream.

How to Make an Ice poulticc.

The following way of making the ice poultice, that is so valuable in fevers, is ad- vised by Technics: Spread layer of linseed meal three-fourths of an inch deep on a cloth of proper size, and put pieces of ice the size of marble on the meal at intervals of an inch; then sprinkle lightly with the meal; cover with a cloth, and turn over the edges; apply the thick surface to the skin. The meal protects the skin and excludes the air from the ice, thus preventing melting.

The Gribble Murderers Captured.

The two Mexicans who murdered Gribble and his companions near Vul- ture several months ago have been captured by Sheriff Slaughter of Cochise county, and are now confined in the jail at Tombstone. Sheriff Slaughter is positive as to having the right men, as he has never since the murder was committed relaxed his pursuit of the criminals The sheriff has wired the sheriff of Maricopa county to come and get the offenders. The murderers have given the Sheriff a long and tedious chase, and their capture reflects great credit upon the brave and faithful man who was elect ed to preserve the peace of his county The two men have the appearance oi desperate criminals, and the people ol the territory are to be congratulated upon their capture.-Telegram.

A mammoth enterprise to be called the American Meat Company, will be established shortly, with headquarters at Deming, New Mexico. It will have capital of $25,O00,0OO. MT. J. II. Flager of the Standard Oil and Cotton Seed Trust companies will be its pres ident, with Col. Bob Ingersol as coun- sel. Ex-Senator Dorsey, a practical ranchman is largely interested in the undertaking. The Company already has 500,000 head of good range cat tie, with horses and all other neces- saries, more than 100000 acres of titled land which controls over 15,000,- 900 acres of the best grazing land, with slaughtering houses and feeding sheds, besides wholesale and retail stores in leading cities of the West and East.

THERE has been considerable spec rlation quite recently as to the ulti- mate destination of the new railroad now under construction from San Diego, via Yuma, to Phenix, and the shaping of railroad affairs leads US to the conclusion that it will be extended up the Gila valley to connect with the Santa Fe system at Silver City, New Mexico. It is all open secret that after the first of October all the through Pacific coast traffic of the San ta Fe road will go to Deming and thence over the Southern Pacific track. At present there is wide gap between the Deming terminus and the Caliior- nia lines of the Santa Fe, which must be closed as soon as possible and this connecting linl must be built through Southern Arizona. Now it IS reason able to suppose that if they build a road connecting with their Pacific coast system, into the Gila valley, the remaining short gap to Silver City will be found necessary to give them a through line By following the gene ral course of the Gila river a good grade can be secured to Silver City and the amount of prospective local traffic will give them great encourage ment in selecting such Q route. The entire length of the Gila valley must eventually become the garden of the world whose productions will not only support a dense local population, but furnish traffic for the most convenient railroad. There are large and valuable mines of gold, silver and copper, all along the river cast of Florence, and ] the coal fields near San Carlos would 1 also add to the inducements for the selection of this route. Altogether this is the most plausible solution of the problem of the ultimate course oi the road that has yet been advanced and as it necessarily places Florence on it's direct line, we indulge the hope that the management of the Santa Fe system will find tito their interest tc traverse the rich valley of the Gila across Arizona in constructing theil trunk line to the Pacific coast.

THE lines of the Territorial execu- tives are not always cast in pleasant places, particularly since the change of administration has scattered the kind influences that formerly sur rounded the object of such political favor The governor of New Mexico found the roses strewn in his path to be full of piercing thorns, and our own executive has doubtless often thought that official atmosphere is disagreeable and unwholcsome. But up in Dakota the democrats are formu- lating actual charges against their governor and will endeavor 10 secure his removal. We can discern in this general disaffection a decided flavor of envy and disappointed ambition. There were too many Ethat hungered and thirsted after the glory and perquisites of office for the amount of available pap and, of course, some of them stii. nurse the craving appetite still pnappeased and must occasionally be ktfay signs of distress. But under all the smoke there must be some em- bers of fire and there is no doubt that in some cases good pretexts will be found to substantiate the accusation openly Charged. Whatever may bt the causes that lead to it, the fact i. quite apparent that he who accepts the profier of a Territorial appoint ment, and more Particularly that o chief executive, submits to crown O

 No more important measure has been adopted in the public school sys- tenn than the one now in vogue in Tucson by which pupils and teachers are enabled to leave the premises with expedition and success. There is no rushing, no disorder, no big pupils crowling over and tramping down the little ones in a frantic endeavor to es- cape in case of fires, or other misfor- tune, but order and safe and speedy exit from the building. For the formu- lation of this system the public is in debted to Major Moves, commander at Fort Lowell, but to Territorial School Superintendent Strauss the credit is mainly due inasmuch as 1t was called into existence through his suggestions. It is his intention to have this system introduced and put in practice all over the territory. Whatever may be said against Mir. Strauss politically or otherwise, the Citizen Is free to say that as territorial school supcrinten- dent he is a hard man to improve on, as is evidenced by nearly every move made in connection with the educa- tional department of the Territory
