READ THE DEATH ROLL

Which the bills of mortality of any large city may be fitly designated, and you will find that renal and vesical maladies, that is to say, those that affect the kidneys or bladder have re- markabe prominence-we had almost said preponderfnce. Bright's disease and diabetes in the chronic stage are rarely cured, and gravel, catarrh of the bladder and enuresis. slay many. Yet at the outset, when the trouble merely amounts to inactivity of the organs in volved, the danger may be nulified by that pleasant renal tonic and diuretic. Hostetter s Stomach Bitters, which imparts the requisite amount of tone to the organs, without over exciting them, and the use cf which is con- venient, and involves no eaborate preparations
 Dyspepsia, usual concomitant of renal com plaints, and debility which they invariably pro- dLce, are remedied by it. So also are constipa- tion, malarial, rheumatic and nervous ailments

The Los Angeles Times says: Arizona has almost as great a variety of scenery and climate as California. It includes within its limits one of the largest pine forests in the United States, immense coal fields aud high mountain regions covered with oak, juniper and other trees, where, during he summer season, the sportsman can shoot wild turkeys, deer and other game, catch trout from running streams of limpid water, and sleep comfortably at night under a pair of blankets. Arizona is one of the least known political divisions of the United States. It would pay our merchants and Board of Trade to give more attention to Territory for which this city is the natural supply point"

The Albuquerque Democrat has these truthful words to say about New Mexico, which will apply equally well to Arzona
 "There is no great evil without some good. The present winter, which is causing such wholesale destruction of cattle in nearly all the grazing districts of the West, wiR have the effect of giving New Mexico big boom as the best cat tie country in the United States. That this Territory is the best cattle district on the continents no new fact to us, but the effect of the cold weather IS serving to demonstrate to the people of the country at large what the people of New Mexico have known all the time. Even during this extraordinary winter there has been no weather severe enough in any of the grazing regions of the Terri tory ts cause the death of the poorest animal on the range. There is whole volume Of solid argument in this simple statement when viewed in the light of the terrible losses which have been ex- perienced in nearly all other portions of the country"

The decision of Judge Barnes in the cattle seizure cases, which has been so favorably commented on by the bar and the. people, has recalled to the memory of the old pioneers the decision of Chief Justice Titus, profound lawyer and em- inent judge, in somewhat similar case many years ago. MT. Hopkins, who was then in charge of the customs service here, seized a large band belonging to citizens of the town of Santa Cruz, So- nora; which had pastured or grased over the line into the United States. Judge Titus not only ordered the cattle to be delivered to the claimants, but required thescustom officers to return them to the range where the seizure was made, thereby relieving the owners of all ex- penses. This case was not exactly par allel with the recent seizure, but they are identical in this, that in both cases the cattle strayed over the line into foreign country, against the will of the owners and in spite of their best efforts to keep them at home.-Tucson Star.

The ,EPITAPH extends its sincere sym. pathy to MT. s. C. Bagg in this his hour of tribulation. Bagg is a good fellow, a rus,ler, and deserves to succeed. Now that he is in trouble through no fault of his own, the EPITAPH can do no less than pass over little "sym." Bagg is a great fellow to branch out; he dabbles a slktle politics, in new and secondhand furniture and in newspapers. Being public spirited, he put two or three hun. dsed dollars into the Prospector, and leased his interest to Jim Nash for SI a year, The rent was SO exorbitant that Nash was compelled to throw up his lease, and now the property is in Bagg's hands. Bagg is versatile cuss, and takes.to newspaper as naturally as a duck does to water. Mounted upon the editorial tripod, he dashes off articles on the tariff and on any other subject that occurs to him, with wild, careless de. light that is charming. He has now been at it two days, and hardly has had time to realize the full weight of the responsi. bility resting upon his shoulders. The tariff problem is an easy one to solve compared with the more intricate ques. ton of trying to make daily newspaper pay in Tombstone. It is sad thing to remove the glamour from the eyes of a friend, but sooner or later the stern real 'ity must be brought home to one, and how much better it is that the truth should be broken gently by a cherished one. An! Bagg, little you know the anx- .iety and trouble that await you. When the paper bills fall due, when the print CTS howl for com and innumerable other cfeditors haunt you, when every other friend on earth has deserted you, come to us and we will try to console you with the statement that we told you so.

The cattle outlook in Arizona was never 50 bright as it is to-day. There is plenty of fat beef on the ranges, and no loss whatever from cold weather is re. ported. While of course it is the proper thing to coAdole with cattle men in the northern territories. on account of their great losses the present and the past winter, yet it is impossible not to feel a sense of gratitude that we are so much more fortunately situated. Instead of being known as the land of the cactus and Apache, Arizona is fast gaining . worldwide reputation as the best all- the-yeas-rsund grazing country under the sun. Montana, with its rich bunch grass, may excel us for summer fatten- ing. but the winter losses more than make up the difference. The black and white gramma, which grows luxuriantly through out Arizona, is good enough, as the cen. dition of the cattle will show, while the increase is ten per cent. greater here than in. any northern territory. Then again prices are steadily advancing, aud they will probably never again be as low as at the present time. The range is constantly growing smaller and the pop. ulation larger, which, taken in connection with the fact that hundreds of thousands of cattle have been frozen to death on the northern plains the present winter, and it is plain to be seen that the outlook for good prices is very bright.

Fire Commissioners.

The Board of Fire Commissioners held q

being present. The principal question be-
fore the Board was the acceptance of the
new fre-alarm system, which has just been
completed by the contractor, c. A. Fisk,

put up and connected according to con-
tract and was ready for inspection.

Empty Kegs. But Fuu Driver.

Last evening as young man was wait
ing for the car at Twentieth and 0 streets,
brewery wagon came rafting along, beer
kegs tumbling about, and the fine team
going of its own accord, no driver being on
the seat. The horses Were not going very
fast and after blocks run, the young man
succeeded in catching up with and stopping
the horses, who were making pretty good
progress towards Freeport. An examina-
ton of the wagon revealed a mallet, about
a dozen empty beer kegs and "full'' man.
The unfortunate driver, whose eyes had
been evidently larger than his stomach,
lay covered up by half dozen kegs and
he must have experimental enough 'shak-
ing up" to have sobered ten men. Kegs
had been tumbling over him from all di-
rections, and his head and body are no
doubt swelled 10 twice their natural size
to-day. After laying the stupifed man
comfortably in the wagon, the young man
drove the team TO the brewery to whom it
belonged, and received the thanks of the
PROPRIETOR

A Young Lawyers Trouble

J. W. Hughes was arrested by Captain
Karcher yesterday afternoon on a charge
of battery, the complainant being Mrs. J.
B. Saunders. She alleges that on Saturday
evening as she was returning with her
daughter from a charitable visit out
Twelfth street, she saw Mr.. Hughes and o
friend of his named Osborn walking
along the sidewalk She drove UP, and
alighting from the wagon, said to Mr..
Hughes joe, l want to speak to you"
She says that she had the whip and reins
in her hand, and that he took the whip
away from her and struck her on the hand
with it, and struck the horse several times.
He then threw the whip away.
Mr.. Hughes gives an entirely different
version Of the affair. He claims that Mrs.
Saunders has been prosecuting him for
some time, and has frequently threatened
his life; that on Saturday night he was
walking with friend when they met Mrs.
Saunders coming in buggy. She aiighted,
and after abusing him attempted to strike
him with the whip. He took it away from
her and threw it into the street, but did not
strike her or attempt to do so.
Mr.. Hughes version of the affair is cor
roborated by Mr.. Osborn, while Mrs
Saunders little daughter asserts that what
her mother says is true. The case will
come up in the Police Court this morning
