Useful and Ornamental.

MT. H. Buchanan the enteprising pho tographer, has just received at his pie ture gallery number of articles that are novel and indispensable to every household, where convenience and tidi- ness are of value. An invention for holding pillow sham, and removing it at night and replacing it in the morn ing is simple, sensible and inexpesive arrangement that will commend itself to every housewife in Tucson. It will save trouble and keep the pillow sham clean. It fastens on the headboard and can be adjusted to any size bedstead; works with a spring, Is invisible, and raises the sham from the pillow at night and re- places 1t in the morning, without allow ing it to become wrinkled or soiled by handling. It works like a charm.
 EIr. Buehman has also something new in the way of moulding, to be used in hiding the tack where cloth ceilings are made fast to the walls, which is also ornamental. Another moulding is ao- companied by hooks for holding pie lures, and does away with the vexatious trouble of driving nails or screwing hooks in the walls. This moulding is intended to run just between the paper and the border and will add much to the appearance of any room.

Argued and Submitted.

Yesterday afternoon no statement of facts having been agreed to by the Dem ocratic representives, the mandamus case proceeded with the facts as admit ted therein. Attorney General Church i'll argued in favor of the 10th legisla- ture enactments after the so-called sixty consecutive days, tO-wit: after March 21, 1889. Governor Zulick sat near him, and all the prominent Democratic officials and lawyers lowered anxiously around, chewing Marburg Brothers Green Seal, while District Attorney Cox nodded in fitful slumber.
 Judge Ainsworth, in behalf of Super lntendent Cheney, supported the legali- ty of the statutes and the proceedings hereunder. Ben Goodrich then spoke as ''amicus curise" disclaiming any in tent to bind anyone by anything he said. His argument attempted to weaken the force of AttOrney-General Churchilrs strong plea. His position seemed to be that, while a state might by long usage, act contrary to it's constitution, a terri tory must observe the strict letter of its organic act, as passed by congress, even though territorial legislation could fair ly be deemed valid until congress saw fit to expressly repeal it.
 The Attorney Generals appeal was then taken up. Judge Alexander ex- erted such persuasion as he.had in ia vor of unseating his friend Judge Alex ander, from the chair now occupied by General Churchill Counsellor Buck re- piled in behalf of the present Incum- bent, and all the office cases were sub mitted to the court. Briefs in the lat ter case must be filed by Alexander in ten days, and by Churchill within the same time hereafter.-Phenix Herald.

UNTIMELY DEATH.
Of Bright Yonng Arizona Journ-
 alist.

Died, at Phenix, Arizona, of pneumonia on the 18th of January, 1890, Frank Reed, aged 33years, only son of Henry Reed, of Holbrook, Ariz.
 Frank Reed was born in the City of New York on the 12th day of April, 1856. He was educated at the University of the City of New York, and came to New Mexico when but 17 years of age, being at that time frail in body and unable to pursue the academic course marked out for him.
 The climate was all that was required to develop in him sound health and a strong constitution. After travelling throughout the Territory for six months he became robust and entered the ser vice of his father, who was at that time post-trader at Fort Wingate. In this business he continued during the entire service of his fathers successor, having charge of the books and accounts of the great establishment and also of the postoffice business at the fort. He was thorough in his knowledge of postoffice business and of mercantile accounts.
 At the time his father entered the journalistic field, Frank joined hlm and applied himself untiringly to the acqGi- sition of proficiency in the typographi- cal art. and was soon enabled 70 take charge of the business in all its depart ments. In this, as in everything else he undertook, he soon became master of details. He became vigorous writer, stating his facts clearly and convincing ly. Had his life been spared he would have earned fame in jurnalistic liter ature.
 About three weeks ago while on a visit to Phenix he took a severe cold, pneumonia followed, from which he be gan to recover, but unfavorable weather set in, then a relapse, and on the morn ing of the 10th a telegram from the at tending physician to the stricken father tells the story. Frank is dying"
 The offspring that was the hope of a fathers life in mature manhood, is taken away, and no kindred is now left to say farewell when the summons borne by the "pale horse and his rider" shall say to him "come"
 Frank was kind and gentle in disposi- tion, courtly In bearing towards all men and respected by all who knew him. He will be missed by large and loving circle of friends, but by none more than him who records this testimoney of his life-his father.
 The remains will be buried in Laurel Hill cemetery, San Francisco.-Albu- querque Citizen.

 Dr. Alex. Trippel, of Globe, one of the most thorough and experienced mining men in the west, IS to be general mana ger of the new company, which is a guarantee that operations will be con ducted in a practical and business like manner. The doctor was in Wilcox several days this week but left for the Atlas mines Pima coun- ty, on Wednesday, his duties as consul ting engineer of the Atlas Company calling him there for short time. He will return here in about ten days, and at once proceed to Aravaipa and begin work in the way of developing the mines. Before active operations can be commenced on the mines, several roads will have to be built, and this work will first claim the Doctors attention. A large smelter is to be constructed near the mines, work on which will begin in few months, and pr. Trippel is of the opinion that there will be in Aravai- pa Canon, before the end of the present year. one of the lIveliest and best pay ing mining camps in the Territory. Mir. Goddard, one of the purchasers of the mines, IS gentleman of large wealth, and will not hesitate to expend money in their development, as he firmly be- lieves they will prove very valuable property.

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering and painful sickness to robust health marks an epoch in the life of the in- dividual. Such remarkable event is treasured in the memory and the agen- cy whereby the good health has been at tained is gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so much is heard in praise of Elec- tric B!tters. So many feel they owe their restoration to health, to the use of the Great Alterative and Tonic. If you are troubled with any disease of Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or short standing you will surely find re- lief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at 5Oc. and 51 per bottle at Geo.

CHAS. F. HOFF.

We are in receipt of copy of the spe- cial illustrated edition of the Tucson, Arizona Citizen, from which We take the following reference to one of the Dewitt boys who went west some years ago to grow up with the country:
 "Hoff of Tucson" as he is familiarly known, is a native of Yorktown, Texas. and on September 22d last, was 2S years of age. He attended school in York town, but at an early age had to leave in order to do his share of work on his fathers farm. Being Of an ambitious nature and of studiOus habits he did not, however, neglect his books, completing his education at home. When 2l years old he left the family farm and came to Arizona. He joined his brother at Tue son in April, 1883, and soon after went into the employ of a leading grocery house, no longer in existence. Later he ventured into the grocery business for himself, and, for year and a half en- joyed good trade; but the boom in California was too attractive and so he sold out his business to go to the Golden State. Here he remained II months, being first in the employ of M. A. New mark & O., large wholesale house in Los Angeles, and afterwards in the largest retail grocery establishment in San Francisco. At the end of this time he re lized that Arizona offered superior advantages to an active young man, than did her neighbor state, and he returned at once. On the very first day that he arrived in Tucson he was employed by 4. Goldschmidt & O., wholesale grocers, for whom he was special agent and col lector up to the time he started in busi- ness as a manufacturers agent, in which business he IS at present engaged. Chas. F. Hotf IS active, well known and popu- lar all over this territory and enjoys an extensive patrongage.
 MORE GOOD WORDS.
 The following was also received by MT. Hoff few days ago from the gene ral agents for the "Caligraph, of which he has sold so many recently:
