Our exchanges from tune to time make complaints of the lnetflciency of the mail service. The Tombstone Prospector tells of letter directed to that office which was written at Los Vegas, New Mexico. on the I3th of April and did not arrive at its destlna- ton until the 9th of the present month. That's rather poor time to make but, we have a little experience which beats ii. We wrote letter over six months ago to a man in Flagstaff, only $ miles dis tant who owes us bill and requested hlm to remit and have never received reply yet. For ineficlency of the mail servlce this certainly beats all records.

The Phenix Gazette which Is "every- thing by turns and nothing long" has now turned its batteries loose on Gov ernor Zulick because he sustained the action of the board of directors of the the insane asylum in removing Dr. Mahoney for drunkenness and neglect of duty. The Gazette has been wsging a personal and vindictive fight against Messrs. Gang and Hitler, of the board of directors, accusing one of them of having a brown stone front to hls bank building and the other of being in the saloon business. On these serious charges of personal nature, the Gazette has been urging their removal and has for some time been telling Gov. Zulick what to do about it. Instead of accepting the dictates of the Gazette he seems to have exercised his own judgment and in doing so has incurred the wrath of that sheet.

Because the apaidelegation in the Phenix convention, did not support Hughes for delegate, that small minded individual announces that "single handed and alone" he proposes to move the capital from Prescott. Poor weak minded Hughes! He never makes break of any kind without doing 1t Tn such a manner as to let his own per
 snnal malice stick m riohf drought It and all over 1t. For this reason his iDflu- ence in territorial affairs Is so slim that II would not be worth mentioning otherwise than to notice the malicious idiosyncra- cies to which he is subjected. His on
 slaught on Governor Zulick was also in the same line. He kept his paper full of praise for that individual until con- missioner of immigration was appointed, when he uncorked the puny vials of his
 wrath over the head of the chief execu- tive. and has been frothlng ever since at the mouth and writhing with the spasms of rabies produced by personal disap
 pointments It is only a few short weeks also since MT. Hughes had lengthy editorial on :he capital question in reply to another paper that advocated its removal, in which he dwelt at great length on its fortunate location in Pres colt, among its beautiful pine clad hills. with a climate unsurpassed on the cont nent. Presto, change Since the delegation from this county failed to second his aspirations to become delegate to St. Louis. While it is diff cult for an editor to segregate entirely. at all times his individuality from his paper, and to keep his personal feelings out of its columns, readers of the Star cannot fall to have noticed that the giud- ing star of Hughes daily Star IS his per sonal feelings. It IS difficult to find line in the paper that is not dictated by per sonal like or dislike rather than from principle.

A Man Adopted by Rabbits.

There Is an old man out in Mound
 valley. Nevada, who has been adopted
 ny lot of jlck rabbits. Their friendi-
 ness and good feeling have become so
 obtruslve that the old fellow would be
 thankful if something would happen to
 alienate their affections. He is sort of
 hermit, being all alone on his ranch,
 where he devotes all his time to cattle and
 horse-raislng. As he doesn't try to raise
 vegetables, the rabbits could do him no
 harm, and so he never tried to drive them away. They soon became very tame, ana as the jackrabbi, is an affectionate
 animal anyway, they kept making more advances and trials of friendship until they and the old man have become quite sociable. When he goes out after his COWS two or three dozen rabbits come dropping along after him, leaping around hlm. running between his legs and nib bling his fingers. Very often a drove of them will gather around his cabin and cut up all sorts of prauks in front of his door, leap on his bed, jump into hls chaIr-if he isn't occupying the only one himself-snd nose around among his kettles and dishes for something to eat Several of the most intelligent he has singled out for special favors. He has taught them a number of tricks, such as jumping over bar or through a ring, walking on their hind legs, and jumping over one another like leapfrog. But the rabbits have developed such liking for civilization that they are about to take possession of bis house. and have begun to rear their brood in 1t, so that the old man hardly knows now whether he owns the house or simply lives there with the rabbits Carson Appeal.

Two members of the Standard Oil company, who were convicted last sum- mer of conspiracy to blow up the works of a rival that dared to com pete with the monopoly, were sentenced by the supreme court of New York on Wednesday to pay fine of $a5o each. This looks like very small penalty to impose on such wealthy men as the Ever ests. and it contrasts badly with the severe penalties usually meted out by our minor courts ip poor persons guilty Of much less serious offenses. But New York justice is queer thing nowadays and perhaps the real wonder IS that any punishment at all was inflicted on the conspirators Tn this case.

One Of the British medical journals gives
She results of an inquiry undertaken in GER

acy which was observed in the dispensing of
prescriptions. In all, so prescriptions were
sent out-namely, 80 to chemists and drug
gists, IA to cooperative stores, 2 to doctors
Shops" and to certain drug companies.
They decided to give liberal margin for err
rors, and accordingly did not schedule any
prescription rs incorrectly made if the chief
constituents were within 10 per cent. of the
amount ordered. According to this classified
ton no fewer than II out of the 80 prescrip-
tions were incorrectly dispensed; the limits
of error were also very wide indeed, for in
one case the quantity Of the drug supplied
was less by s. per cent than that ordered,
and in another 81 per cent. moro than had
been ordered. The chemists and druggists
pure and simple came out of this ordeal with
great credit, as in only two cases did the
errors mount up so largely as to be scheduled,
while cooperative stores figure ON the black
list three times, the doctors shop" once and
the ''drug company three times. Briefly,
of the latter class IS per cent. were untrust-
worthy; also, 20 per cent of those from
doctors shops,n while 20 per cent of those
from stores and per cent. Of those from
regular druggists exceeded the margin of
