Tombstone epitaph., 1891-01-25

THERE is a strong under current of feeling in favor of organizing board of trade or similar body of representa- tive citizens to take hold of the busi ness end of our languishing industries. The business men with all due con- sideration for their personal efforts to better their own condition by aiding at all times the efforts made by others to advertise our resources, are lacking in push, enterprise and spirit of con- centrated action, which alone will make our country and city thriving community. For five yearsour mines have been lying idle, comparatively speaking; the great question of water remains unsettled. Our mines are flooded with it while almost within stones throw ot us the rich soil of our valleys crave it. The artesian water supply is there but remains still in its uncertain stage, while the small sum of $2O,0O0, would settle the prob. lem for all time to come. This sum would mean $l0O each for 200 men. If the venture were success it would re- turn 500 per cent the first year after it was settled if not success it would be but one card drawn from the pack and 51 more to draw from. There are other propositions which the people of this county must settle for them selves. There is one great problem which the citizens of Tombstone must settle for themselves-the drainage of the mines. There will be no more trouble in inducing capital to take hold of the enterprise providing we can meet it half way and by our f- nancial aid even in a small way prove that we have an abiding faith in the future of our camp. There IS no use in longer remaining idle in the back grounds and sucking our thumbs waiting for something to turn up. It will have to be done some time and the sooner the better.

The judiciary committee which investigated McGrath's alleged con nection with the Turner letter, has af- ter weeks deliberation decided 10 request his resignation, and the presi- dent has fully decided that he will stay until he is kicked out, as there is no provision in the Alliance consti- tution by which he can be busted.

road and came into New York and opened
his season at the Fourteenth Street theater
on Sept. %. He gave a very good perform
ance the first night and next day he seemed
delighted with the pgess notices given him,
but he became more and more reckless in his
way Of living. He would frequently stay
out all night and turn up at the matinee next
day and try to 60 through his part. About
six weeks ago the people in Scanlan's com
pany began to notice that he was acting very
queerly. BE had strange glitter in bis
eyes and seemed to be suffering from nerv-
Gus prostration His stomach then began to
bother him and his head panied. One night
he forgot his lines almost entirely and the
members of the company had to prompt
him. Manager Pitou then found it neces-
sary to employ prompter for the comedian.
DR.. Hamilton called on the actor and had
long talk with him, after which he wit
messed his performance. As a result of this
Dr. Hamilton notified Mr. Pitou that the
comedian had incipient paresis.
