Writing History.

There is a pathetic piece of slang in
use out at the City hospital. On the
headboard of each patients bed there is
posted q large card, upon which the at
tending physician writes description
of the case and something of the personal
history of the patient. When the man
dies or is discharged, the card is taken
down and filed away in the records of
the hospital, and the descriptive card Of
the next patient is put up on the bed.
"Taking down his history" means the
death or recovery Of aninvalid, and it is
a popular expression among the side
men, who detest the mention of DEATH

to our Scandinavian friends, through
out the state, that Deputy State Lee
turer, J. O. Solomonson,. of Gibbon,
Sibley County, will soon begin series
of meetings in the state, and will speak
especially in districts where a Scandi-

the above address. Remember, he is
working without a salary and paying
his own expenses, so don't let him
depart with empty pockets. He will

him at such places. There are calls
for a Scandinavian speaker from all

A Foregone Conclusion

It has caused no little surprise that there should be some doubt existing with regard to the exact date when the pres ent charter of The Louisiana State Lot tery Company expires. This is plainly expressed in the charter of the company which being a public document, is on file and readily accessible. Even the present charter does not terminate un- til 1895. Moreover, an amendment has been ordered by the Legislature of the State to be submitted to the people, by which the charter of the company will be extended up to the year 1919. Charters are necessarily granted for a limited time and their renewal is a mere matter of form. This has been fully provided for, as anyone familiar with the facts of the case must know. Great satisfaction is expressed at the management of Gen. erals Beauregard and Early, who, as superintendents of the drawings, have maintained the high standard to which The Louisiana State Lottery Company has always lived up.-Memphis CTenn) Ledger, August 27.

A recent issue of the Mohave Miner contains the following relic:

What the Press Says.

If there is any truth in the old adage of, "What every ybody says must be so, then We are to have great show m our city on Wednesday, Oct. s, "A bigger and better show than Barnum's," is what the Portsmouth, O., Blade says
 "Far less pretentious, yet far more merl- torious than the BarnIm show." is the way the Evansville Journal expresses its views of the Robinson show. Both of the Big shows have been witnessed by our citizens, and of the two shows, we sincerely believe that Robinson's show is the best, and gave better satis- faction than Barnum's," is the way the Peoria, H., Lemocrat, puts it. It IS comments like those above that meets our view in all the leading journals. All say that Robinson's show has no superior. Remember this Big show will exhibit at Tucson, Wednesday, Oct. s.

 It is predicted by railroad men that the business of railroads in 1891 will not be up to what it is and will be in 1890. The difference will be on account of the short crops this year which will be moved in 1891.

A BOTANICAL COLLECTION. Which Embraces Some of the Rarest
 Fauna and Flora Known.

A CITIZEN representative dropped ID at the home of MT. John 4. Spring yes- terday for the purpose of examining that getleman's handsome botanical col lection. MT. Spring has fifty varieties of drred flowers of Arizona put up in the best of style and care. J, R. Churchill, Professor of Botany, Boston, says he has ever seen specimens of herbium so we'll made, and that such handsome assort- ment has never been received in Bos- ton. From careful personal examina- tion the writer must say that he never saw more neat, clean, and we'll made collection. A hurried glance does not give much of an idea of the word re- quired in preparing these specimens for exhibitions collection which re- quires tedious climbing and search; the pressing, and they must tbe changed every three days; the chemical prepara- tion which they must undergo to retain their natural color and finally the past ing on the sheets, or mounting. Dur ing the process one half of the flowers gathered with pains, are thrown aside, during the different stages.
 Speaking of the collections MT. Spring says he has seen flowers the past week that have not been seen before in eight years. Their appearance now, he at tributes to the copious rains.
 Mir. Spring has place his collection at the disposal of Mr. Zeckendorf for ex- hIbition Tn the worlds fair. They should be given a prominent place Tn that exhibition. "l know there are three new varities of. flowers" said MT. Spring but owing to the rains ] have not been able to secure them". Any one desiring to see this collection will find it at Fleishman's S Co.'s drug store and we can guarantee in advance that they will be richly repaid.

 One cause assigned by several physI- clans and druggists for the fact that many become victims to the opium vice is from the use of antipyrene.

Hoods SarsaparilIa
A Reprieve for the Con-
 demned.

Wretcbed men and women long con- demned to suffer the tortures of dys- pepsia, are filled with new hope after a few doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters. This budding hope blossoms into the fruition of certainty, if the Bitters is persisted in. I brings a reprieve to all dyspeptics who seek its aid. Flatu- lence, heartburn, sinking at the pit of the stomach between meals, the nerv- Ous tremors and insomnia of which chronic indigestion is the parent, disap- pear with their hateful progenitor. Most benificent of stomachies! Who can wonder that in so many instances it awakens greatful eloquence in those who, benefited by it, speak voluntarily in its behalf. It re- quires a graphic pen to discribe the torments of dyspepsia, but in many of the testimonials received by the proprie- tors of the Bitters, these are portrayed with vivid truthfulness. Constipation, biliousness, muscular debility, malarial levers and rheumatism are relieved by it.

A BITTER BIT.i A Prominent Official After a Joko and Finds it Loaded.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
 Several gentleman were sitting in the rotunda of, f,the new auditorium last even ing quietly enjoying their after dinner Havanas and exchanging yarns Among the latter the. following bit oi pleasantly, concerning a prominent state officer, whom we may call Brown for convience, came up.
 Some days ago half demented char acter, rather seedy in appearance, and wearing faded suit of blue, dropped in at the private office of our friend Brown
 He was an old soldier and sailor," he said and had come to Chicago from a Western city for the purpose of intro ducing a well-known grade of dried fruits. Trade had been slow. Nobody wanted the dried fruit, and he Tn con- sequence found himself combating with the problem of a square meal. The veteran had his pension papers on which he wished to get remittance. He had been told there was a state fund fer such unfortunates as himself and would be under everlasting obligations for the favor.
 MT. Browns sympathies were doubt less enlisted but unfortunately he was not willing to lose an opportunity to joke. So he gave him the address of several influential business men up town with the assurance that tEey were all philanthopically disposed and would unquestionably be at his service.
 Acting on the suggestion and propell ed by necessities the ex-sailor and soldier tramped from one business house to another, and when he had con- pleted the rounds, begun again. He was on the twentieth circuit when some individual in sheer desperation bought hlm ticket, and the dried fruit dealer bid Chicago an adieu.
 The following morning a prominent broker who had been an es pecial sufferer from the perennial visits conceived an idea to pay Mir. Brown back in his own coin. According a subscription paper was started the subscribers aggreeing to pay the sums opposite the names for the purpose of getting the veteran out of town. The lines were industriously filled in with the names of the brokers friends, the amount being S2.50 each. Mir. Brown was called on in due time and promptly ''stood in" paved his money and was checked cash.
 Here the story ends so far as MT. Brown was concerned, until at least he has read this item and the truth is born on his mind. The broker and his friends however continued the narrative at the Auditorium bar until the last nickle of the S250 had disappeared in the patent self counter.

GLOBE,
Wants Better Mail Facilities Muy
 Pronto.
Silver Belt,


 The very unsatisfactory mail service between Casa Grande and Globe dur ing the past two months has demons trated the necessity for a change of route for carrying the daily mail to and from Globe. The road over Pinal mount ain has been in a wretched state ever since the rainy season set in and be- tween Casa Grande and Florence it is even worse. On the other hand mai, service between Glohe and Camp Thom- as and south to Wilcox, has been re- gularly maintained, with the exception of one day when the mail failed to reach Globe. That IS the most natural and best route for daily mail to and from Globe, and by increasing the service to seven tripsa week, the time could be materially shortened, so that mails would reach Globe ten or twelve hours earlier than at present.
