It is left to the Mayor and Common Council of incorporated cities and to Boards of Supervisors in towns, villages and fain- ing camps not incorporated, to deter mine and fix the distance from any court house, public school or other public building, within which no house of ill-fame shall he maintained It provides adequate penalties for persons transgressing the law, and makes # 8 misdemeanor for anyone to knowingly lease or rent or the purpose of proati- tuition, any room, house or building within the limit prescribed by the rec ognized authorities. Section pro vides that the general reputation of the house and of the persons frequentiag the same shall be competent and prima facie evidence of the character of the house and of the purpose for which it is used.
 No greater evil exists in Arizona than that of prostitution.

Almost every great storm and over flow is said to have been the greatest and most destructive, but the late flood can not truthfully be called such. The most destructive storm within our rec ollection was the forty days and nights rain which occurred in May aud June of the year of 1844. We were then 8 resident of St Louis, Missouri, nnd witnessed the result of the unpaalled outpouring of the clouds, melting of the snow and precipitation of water from the eastern watersheds of the Rocky mountains into the Gulf of Mex icO. The recent inundation did not compare with t in destruction of life and property. The flood of that year. as in this, was unheeded It had been prophesied by trappers in the preeed- ing autumn, who had grown wise in the philosophy of observation, and noted that bears and some other ami malls prepared winter quarters a mum Der of feet higher upon the side of the mountain than in former years, But as in the case of Fosters note of warn ing in January last, no attention was given to 1t until too late to prepare to resist the shock One hundred and fifty million dollars did not cover the loss in the Mississippi Valley alone,

TIRED OF LIFE.

Thomas HOrat Deliberately
Chokes Himself to Death.
Thomas Horat, Bohemian laborer,
until recently employed by the city,
suicided by hanging last evening at
about $780, HOrat is sixty years old
and had been a resident in st. Paul
with his family for thirty two years.
For some time past Horat, with his
wife and two surviving children, has
resided at 364 Emma street He
had fairly comfortable home, but
had been despondent for some time past,
four of his children having died in the
past two years. ii 0rat was found last
night at o'clock hanging from a
door. He was quite dead, although the
body, being still warm, showed
that life had not been long en-
tinct. The man had attached the
rope to the doorhandle, passed it over
the top of the door, and had then held
his feet from the ground and dehber-
ately choked himself to death. Thd
body was cut down and efforts at re-
suscitation were made, but without
avail. The suicides wife and two chill
dren are unprovided for.

JUDGE AND ATTORNEY.

| j. w. Hart Reminded He Must
Submit to Rulings of the Court.
Orrington A. Gardner was on the
stand in the United States district
court yesterday, and testified in hiSOwn
defense upon an indictment for opening
letters whilst letter carrier in Mime
apoliS abStracting postal notes and
other valuableS therefrom. He admitted
that he had tried to have postal note
letters distracted from the mail. When
asked if he had not cut open number
of letters taken from the mail he denied
it. But when asked il he had opened
such letters, under the advice of At
torney Hart he refused to answer.
During the crOSS-eXaminatiOn Dis
trict Attorney Hay and Attorney
Hart interchanged personalities of a
rather sarcastic nature. Mr.. Hart was
also persistent in arguing points to the
court after they had been ruled upon,
and the court reminded him that he
would have to subSide and submit to
the rulings. Gardner, in accounting for
the postal notes in his possession, said
he had gotten them in a regular way
from persons that he could not name or
describe very definitely.
Postoffice Inspector Childs testified
as to finding a number of letters on
Gardeners person when arrested, and
was submitted to a rigid croSS-eXamina-
ton by Mr.. Hart.
The evidence was completed, and the
arguments to the jury will be made to-
day.

The following resolution, introduced

Resolved. That in view of the meeting of

ne xt, in the city of ST. Paul, it Is the desire of

that the county commissioners are re-
quired by law to publish the proceed
ing of their board. the board of equali-
Zation. the financial statement, the re-
ports Of the board of audit, the tax list
and list of all unredeemed lands. He
found that the county commissioners
were in the habit of publishing mere
skeletons of the financial statement and
tax list. which gave but very little III
formation. He felt that publicity Is the
best safeguard against discrimination
in favor of or against localities, as well
as against extravaganza or
dishonest Raids
