At Col. Durr's Place.

1t was learned yesterday from Or @
Colonel himself, who was taught to al
ways speak the truth by mis- good grand
mother, that since he moved his business
from Meyer to Congress street, his bus
mess had increased in volume from day
to day. He now sells CEe car load of
John Wieland's beer every three weeks,
and more than car load OF Anheussr-
Bush beer. in the same length of time.
Beer is only one branch OF the large
business now carried ON by Col Durr, at
his corner on Congress street.
Swiss cheese is received in pOnderous
cases direct from the old country, and
his sales amount to over 100 pounds
a month; also California cheese is hand
led in large quantities, and the finest Of
Limberger cheese is always kept on
hand, though the sales are notenornous-
ly large.
His cigars are all made specially for
him and are sold at wholesale and retail
THE wARUM DARUM BRAND
IS well known and has no superior for
the price. The latest brand is the Tip
pecanOe, and it is equal to any cigar to
be had in this market.
Queen olives, the best ever offered in
this market, are received direct from
Spain, in huge casks.
In the cellar is kept fine Sherry WINE,
dozens of barrels, and everything that is
better by being kept in a cool place.
Whiskey is received from not only all
over the United States, but much direct
from the old country, three or four Of
the best brands made in Hamburg. In
one room alone, the reporter counted
155 BARRELS OF wHIsKEY,
and including wines and brandies, his
present stock would not fall short of 800
barrels and kegs. Also a choice brand
of mescal is handled for the benefit Of
those who like it.
Besides, all the finest bitters known to
mankind, are kept, many of them being
imported. In fact, everything in the
way of saloon supplies is kept, ard moth
ing but the best quality is sold.

Pigeons Wearing Uniforms,

The pathetic adventures of carrier

OF Austria to bear letter to ner daugh-
ter, the Archduchess Marie Valerie.
may be noted by writer's of fiction in
quest of new incidents. The bird was
one of those which arc trained for sery-
ice at the arsenal Of Pola, ard when the
Empress recently sailed from Pola to
Corfu she took this pigeon on board her
yacht, having arranged to let it fly with
DETER for her daughter at a certain
distance from the coast. It was sun
posed that the pigeon would return to
Pola, and orders were given to forward
the contents of the letter which it car
ried Immediately by telegraph to the
young Archduchess. Unfortunately a
peasant with a gun saw the bird and
shot it. He did not notice the letter.
which was no doubt blown off by the
shot, and so, while he bore home the
Empress winged messenger for supper.
the letter remained on the ground. 1t
was accidentally found few days after
ward; and now some royal newspapers
are proposing that to prevent a recur-
renee of such mishaps pigeons should
no more be shot at all. 1t is wonder
that nobody has suggested that carrier
pigeons on state service should be put
into shOwy uniform, like those in
which the Austrian civil servants are

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The school fund for this district, we
are sorry TO learn, is exhausted, and the
trustees have under contemplation the
advisability Of closing the doors OF our
educational institutions at an early
date. until such time as the school
exchequer can be replenished. This is
indeed bad state of affairs. To close
up the school doors Of the largest edu-
cational district in Arizona-a district
comprising o.er 500 pupils-upon the
simple plea that ready cash is not avail
able to liquidate the salaries of teachers,
is not justifiable when the Importance
of these institutions are seriously con-
sidered. There are ample means in the
Territorial school purse for the mainten-
ance of its educational system; these
funds may not at present be available,
but there is no good reason why war
rants cannot be issued by the School
Board until Tucson receives her appor-
tionment. There are $4,000 in the Terri
torial school fund, OF which $500 is due

sum will greatly aid our means of edu-
cation, and thus keep hundreds of child

CAISSON DISEASE.
A Terrible Ailment Much Resembling se-
we're NerYOus Prostration.

n Terrible AIIment Much Resembling Se-
we're Nervous Prostration.
''Divers' bends" is the vernacular for
form of caisson disease, a complaint
new enough to have only one literary
sponsor in this country, DIR. Andrew H.
Smith, who was surgeon to the New
York Bridge Compony at the time when
the big span was building over the East
river. Compressed air was first en-
ployed in the sinking of piers in 1850,
when a railway bridge was constructed
over the Midway, between Rochester
and Chatham. The caissons of the
Brooklyn bridge were wooden boxes 1O2
by 172 feet, the roof under which the
men worked when the caisson had been
put in position, upside down, on the
river bottom, being 9 feet high. When
the caisson had been weighted down to
the river bottom by courses of granite
laid on top of it, air was pumped
into it until the water had been
entirely forced out and the bot
tom Of the river left dry. In this
atmosphere Of compressed air the men
worked and suffered, as men in nearly
all such surroundings suffer-divers,
caisson-workers, or what not-from
divers bends" or caisson disease.
When they return to the open air they
are attacked, as DR.. Smith found, by
nervous prostration. The cavities con-
nected with the nasal passage, such as
the ears and the frontal and maxillary
sinuses. were clogged, and in some cases
stopped up while the men were at work.
Three cases of extreme deafness while
the men were at work were noticed by
DIR. Smith. When coming out from a
diving-bell the sufferers from divers
bends often reel and stagger like
drunken men along West street. Very
recently diver suffering from the
'bends" was taken to a city hospital
with ones side apparently paraiyzed. He
was treated by electricity and recovered
the next day.-N. Y. Cor. st. Louis

its appropriation thereof is complete

Of this remarkable reservoir, we are
not prepared to state, but by the degree
of energy and enterprise it has mani
tested in the prosecution CT it's canal
work, we believe it will soon perfect its
entire system, even TO the construction
of dam across the Gila at the Buttes
for storage purposes. The company has
already made careful and accurate
measurements Of the capacity of the
proposed reservoir and find that, once
filed, it will thoroughly and completely
irrigate 100000 acres of land for 295
days in each year, exclusive of the con-
tinuoGs flow of the river. The estimate
placed on the area is 100000 acres,

But the Liberal organ claims that though

at the request of the government, yet the
time may come, if their leaders so command

MALICE AND IGNORANCE.

If the political newspapers would be more
careful in regard to their facts they would
not so often find themselves in ridiculous
attitudes, compelled to confess ignorance
or to admit that they are willful and ma
! licious liars. We have heretofore called
attention to the reckless statements OF
certain Republican organs concerning the
action OF the Mormons in the late election
in Wyoming. Here comes the Detroit
Tribune, the leading Republican organ of
Michigan, with the assertion that 1.-the
Mormon vote was thrown wholly for the
Democrats, of course. Wherever you find
Mormon vote. you find it Democratic. 1t
is built that way" Now the Democrats of
Wyoming wish this were true If it were
true, the first state government Of Wy
oming would not be Republican, aud the
first Senators to sit in the United States
Congress from the new state would rot be
members of the G. o. p. Nor would the
two counties in Wyoming in which the Nor
mons pre6ominate be under the control of
Republican officials. If the Mormons had
all voted the Democratic ticket not single
Republican state officer would have been
chosen, for it so happens that there are
enough Mormons in Wyoming to have
elected every Democratic nominee.
Clearly the Michigan organ of the party
is ignorant or malicious and misstates the
facts, but what must we think of the chief
Republican newspaper of the country, the
New York Tribune, which deliberately and
willfully says, in regard to the election in
! Wyoming, that "all that the opposition
gains is the bad repute of afiliating with
Mormons"a The Tribune said this after it
had received the returns, and knew that the
Republican majority was due to the fact
that perhaps two-thirds of the Mormons
voted with that party. 1t knew this, be-
cause in the same paper containing the edi-
torial note from which we quote was a tele-
gram from Cheyenne saying that the
Mormons had saved the tickle. for the Re-
| publicans
The truth is this, and if the party organs
do not know it their ignorance is inexcus
able: At the past three or four elections
more Mormons in Wyoming have voted the
Republican ticket than voted the Demo
cratic. For the last three elections the
Mormon vote has carried the ticket for the
Republicans. The fact cannot be demon
strated definitely, but we believe that a
smaller percentage of Mormons voted the
Republican ticket this month than at anv
election held within six years, this belief
being encouraged by the circumstance that
the Republican majority was materially cut
down, while the Mormon vote in Wyoming
was larger than ever before.
The fact is, the Mormons voted as other
people did, some for one party and some
with the other, according as they believed
in the political principles of the parties, Or
preferred the respective candidates for
office
