w. D. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind, testifes: "I can recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of rheumatism of ten years standing" Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medicine I have ever handled in my twenty years experience is Electric Bitters." Thousands of others have added their testimony, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure all diseases of liver, kidneys or blood. Only half a dollar a bottle at Thomas F.

A Casual Inquiry.
TUCSON, C

TUCsON, October, 10th, 1889 ED. ENTERPRISE: Is our Governor trying to protect T. L. Stiles, the As since of Jas. H. Toole, Chas. Hudson & Co? It is well known that there are several indictments for embez2le- ment against Stiles; that he was in dicted several weeks since, and up to the present time no one has gone af- ter him.
 I understand the Governor has issued requisition for Stiles in which he says the expense shall not be paid by the Territory and he makes no pro- vision for the payment of the expense.
 Now our Pinal Code provides, Title XXNI, Sec. 233S, that "the accounts of agents appointed for this purpose shall, UNLE OTHERWISE DIRECTED BY THE GOVERNOR, be audited by the terri torlal auditor and paid out of the terri torial treasury"
 Does the governor otherwise direct the payment of this expense by say ing the Territory shall not pay it?
 Sec. 1869 also provides: "The ac- counts of the persons employed by him for that purpose shall be audited by the board of territorial auditors and paid out of the territorial treasury.
 Now, if the governor is such great friend of Stiles that he wishes to use his position to shield him from justice think he can do it more effectual by letting the law take it's course, and should Stiles be convicted then the governor can show his friendship by granting him a pardon.

An Interesting Discovery.

Mir. Geo. Christelaw, who probably knows as much about the Navajo res ervation as any other living white man, gives the particulars of an interest ing archaeological discovery he made not long ago over on the north side of the reservation. He had entered wide valley, which gradually narrowed until it became box canyon, the sides of which were of great height.
 Near the head of this canyon Mir. Christelaw found an immense cave in the sandstone cliff, the mouth being very wide. In this cave was great accumulation of fragments of prehis- toric pottery and indications of fur naces or kilns where it had been burn ed. But the most interesting feature of this find was found in the rear wall of the cave. Here, hollowed out in the sandstone rock, were the forms of many sizes and kinds of vessels These were, he thinks, undoubtedly the moulds in which the ancient potter had formed the lower half of the ves- sel he manufactured. The forms were very perfect and corresponded exactly to the outer form of the lower half oi vessels, fragments of which were found in the cave. There were also stone slabs that had been used to grind the potter's clay and evidence which leads him to infer that the clay had first been ground, then dried and ground again, leaving it, when ready for the moulder, exceedingly fine. MT. Chris telaw says the fragments of pottery found in that vicinity were of as fine texture or even finer than that of the ordinary table ware of to-day and much tougher. It was also finely glazed and handsomely colored.- News Register, Gallup, N. NJ.

TUcsoN is undergoing the agonies of

TUCsoN Is undergoing the agonies of the wicked over a bitter school row, brought about by the chastisement of a pupil by one of the teachers. The trustees promptly investigated the matter and severely reprimanded the teacher and then the board of county examiners, consisting of Territorial Superintendent c. M Strauss, Mrs c. M Strauss and Gen. Thos. F. Wilson, took the matter up and cancelled the certificate of the principal, MT. Gillette, and MT. Holladay, the offending teach CT. The trustees refuse to recognize the authority of the examiners to in terfere after contracts had been enter ed into with these teachers. The af- fair is a disgraceful one and is the re- suit of personal spite. The teachers are still retained by the trustees, who ignore the jurisdiction of the examin- CTS. There are evidently too many. of "the law be d-d" persons in authority in this territory.

THE tidings came by wire yesterday morning that Hon. R. E Sloan, of this city. had been appointed Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Ari zona, to succeed Judge W. H. Barnes, of the First District. Judge Sloan is quite a young man, being but thirty two years of age, but his distinguished abilities as jurist are far in advance of his years. He is a native of Ohio, and graduated from Monmouth College in 1877 and afterwards from Cincin- natl Law School. He was admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of Ohio and a few years later he came to Arizona and for two years practiced his profession with good success in Phenix. He then removed to Flor ence and was chosen District Attorney, in which capacity he displayed a knowledge of law that added to his al ready well-earned reputation. At the general election last fall he was chosen to represent Pinal county in the Leg islative Council and took a leading part in it's deliberations He is an ar dent republican and possesses all the essential qualifications for the dis charge of the exalted functions of the position to which he has been appoint ed. He has been the recipient of pro- fuse congratulations by his numerous local friends ever since the news of his appointment was received. The selection of two members of the Su- preme bench from Florence is a mat ter of a great deal of local pride in ad- dition to the personal qualification in volyed. THE ENTERPRISE expects a good record for Judge Sloan.

A Cat Commits Suicide.

A tabby cat belonging to the family of David B. Paul, Wallingford, is reported to have committed suicide while griev- ing over the loss of her family of five kittens that had been drowned in order to keep down the cat population. When the old cat missed her offspring she went tearing over the house, showing her great distress by loud moving. Failing to find the kittens after long search, she went up to the third story and delib- erately jumped out on the porch roof below. When picked up old tabby was dead, her neck being broken in the fall. -Philadelphia Press.

THE board of supervisors of Pinal county, under strong protest against their own action, finally appointed in- spectors and judges of the election tor delegates to the constitutional con vention, under the belief that the pro- visions of the law requiring such &C., tion was mandatory. As it now stands, Maricopa and Pinal are the only coun- ties in the Territory that have acted upon this matter, and it will be better for all to let the whole farcical pro ceedings go by default. In Pinal coun- ty there are but handful of persons who are at all active in advocating an ection, but with the absolute cer- tainty of a complete fasco we do not imagine they will undertake to hold mere form of an election at the ex- pense of the county. No one is un- favorable to statehood a little further along, and if our delegate can secure an enabling act at the coming session of Congress the movement for state hood will be practically unanimous.

Yours Truly,

lust what right the Governor had to accept any personal assurance that an indicted person at large will volun- tarily return and deliver himself into the custody of the officers of the law is not made clear by any provision of the statutes. It is true that in the present instance something has been saved to the Territory by his unusual proceeding, but he has no right to accept mere erbal assurances in such matters. Almost any criminal has friends that can offer equally sincere assurances of his return, but the prin- cipal may possess such 8 guilty knowl- edge of his own deserts that he will take advantage of the lack of diligence for his apprehension to defeat the ends of justice. The law distinctly says the accounts of the persons em- ployed to apprehend fugitive from justice SHALL be audited and paid out of the Territorial treasury, and to deny the means of executing the requisition is equivalent to a denial of the requisi- tion itself. The Governor seems in capable of disabusing himself of the idea that his executive functions carry with them quite despotic and very dangerous judicial prerogatives.
