A Saccharine Jag Produced In steve
dores Unloading Vessels.
The stevedores unloading sugar ves-

been involuntarily INDUCING in what
they call sugar DRINKS" Gays the
Philadelphia Record. 1t is a curious
fact that the gases arising from sugar
that has been stored in the hold OF
vessel without ventilation will produce
q state of intoxication which might
put to shame that produced by Jug

saccharinc jag" is caused by merely
breathing the air where the sugar has
been stored. and while twenty m nutes
in the open air is sufficient to work off
its effects it is none the less a Gag"

John Duffy. one of the men affected,
pronounced the sensation to be exact
ly similar to effects produced by drink
ing whisky. For awhile he felt slim
ulated. then began to grow exhilarat-
ed and hilarious Shortly after that
he began to get dizzy and stagger and
finally lost all control OF his mental
and physical faculties. when he was
removed to the open air and recovered
shortly afterward.
The effects of the fumes have only
been noticed early in the morning
when the matches are first removed.
Gradually the current OF air from the
two matches dissipates the gas and
within an hour it disappears entirely
leaving only disagreeable and pene-
trating odor and sediment which
penetrates every part OF the vessel.
Henry r. Inghan, foreman of the
men employed in unloading vessels
for the refinery, said that he had
complained to his employers. with
the result that hereafter the survey
or's watchmen will remove the matches
from the vessels at o'clock in the
morning. AS the men do not go to
work until this will give an hour for
ventilating the hold. which Mr. Ing
han says is quite sufficient to destroy
the intoxicating gases Collector
Cooper's attention was called TO the
state of affairs, and he promptly is

THERE is dissatisfaction, it is said.
among the temperance reformers OF
Chicago because the drunkards OF that
city do not come forward with more
alacrity to be cured by the new RENE
dy, which is being exploited as being
absolutely safe, sure and permanent.
The dissatisfaction is natural but the
lack of enthusiasm on the part OF the
drunkards cannot be regarded as much
less SO. The drunkard, as rule,
does not want to be cured, either tenn
porarily or permanently, especially
the latter. Such may be the desire oil
his friends--it often is; but he does
not share in their desire. IL he did,
there would be far fewer drunkards in

TIE absurd and ridiculous attack made by Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, on Secretary of the, Interior Noble only strengthens the latter in public estimation and esteem. Among other things, Pettigrew is reported as saying:
 received information last evening from Washington, from what consider a reliable his seat in the Cabinet, and think that 1t is nothing but proper that he should. He is ut- terly incompetent, intellectually in temper and in disposition, for the high position he now fills. His appointment was great mistake. = If he were to go out West and try to make living by practicing law he would surely starve to death. He has not got the judgment and de- cision requisite to success in high office.
 As Pettigrew is an aspirant for the position now occupied by Secretary No ble, he doubtless considers himself as the person having judgment and de- cislon requisite to success in high office. |" His judgment, however, and that of the public at large take diverse channels at this point. Senator Pettigrew has a reputation to make, while Secretary Noble has already won distinction. So far as the West is concerned, Mir. Noble has given entire satisfaction and his re- tirement from the Cabinet would be re- ceived with general regret.

THE Jounal-Miner, of Prescott, has donned handsome new dress, and in doing so takes occasion to review some thing of it's history. The paper was started March 9, 1864, as semi-monthly at Fort Whipple, then in Chino valley. May 25, the same year, it was moved to Prescott. The material used in printing the paper was hauled from Santa Fe, N. M. by ox-teams. During the vicissitudes of an Arizona existence the Journal Miner has been under divers control. Lisdale A. Hand appears as the first publisher. He was succeeded by F., A. Bently, who was killed by Indians in Q 1865. Robert Meachan followed Bently, and was in turn replaced by B. H. Weaver and John Marion, present editor of the Courier. In 1875 it was purchased by T. J. Butler, and rebought in 1876 by c. w. Beach and John Marion. In 1883 Lieutenant Beach purchased the paper of MT. Beach, who had previously as- sumed entire control. After this time the paper was variously edited by Hon. N. O. Murphy, General Churchill, Adju- tant-General w. O. O'Neill, Paul Weber, Colonel Bigelow, and Gideon Tucker. The paper seems to have survived the frequent changes, and is today one of the stanch pillars of the territorial press. It has done valuable service in the up- building of northern Arizona and THE REPUBLICAN witnesses with pleasure its evident prosperity.

A NEW DISCOVERY

It is always hard to make people be- lieve that you have the best, especially when the article is newly invented one. They will look upon all proposi- tions made with suspicious eye; but we trust they will give careful considera- tion of the proposition we are about to make. We intend to show the people of this Territory the only road to prosper ity. We do not wish to show that State- hood will alone develop the resources of this glorious country, but we contend, and do so not because we are now person. ally interested in this question, for we be- came interested because we saw the ad- vantages and necessity of going into this business, but because we honestly believe that the future prosperity of this Territory depends upon the reclamation of the desert lands by windmills. We know what we say because we practice what we preach. California today is what she is on account of windmills giving her "the start in life." The Ermotor is the latest improved mill and shows an increase of thirty-iive per cent in power over any mill manufactured. It is simply a wonderful machine and performs wonders. For instance, l6- foot Ermotor is equal-and is guaran- teed to be soto any 24-foot wheel made, and at an elevation of say thirty feet will work two good eight-inch pumps, which will throw 5000 gallons of water per hour. This means 192, ,0p0 gallons per day, and If you have large reser- voir you can let the mill run night and day. One hundred and ninety-two thousand gallons of water would irrigate ten acres of fruit trees per each tariff. Think it. Do not doubt this statement, for we will sell our mills wish this guar antee. We know the Ermotor will do it, and if it don't you are under no obliga- ton to take the same. We also guarantee that l6-foot Ermotor will work four inch pump 800 feet deep. Cattlemenl this deserves your careful consideration, for you can save immensely by putting in an Ermotor, and use your steam pumps in cases of emergency. The Ermotor will pump 1000 feet. All steel and will last a life time. Send for cir culars and further information.

LNOR SOME TIME A GREAT WANT HAS II been felt by the orange grower of Southern California for fertilizer adapted to this fruit. We have been successful in finding just the food, and now offer to the orange grower our "0rsnge Tree Fertilizer" It is an article thoroughly adapted to this tree, consisting of bone, potash, phosphoric acid, ammonia and other ingredients, and is a complete manure for growing trees, from time of setting out to full maturity. Gophers will not work where this fertilizer Is used, on account of their distaste for the phosphoric acid, which is very helpful to the tree-either orange or lemon. In the growing of other citrus or decduous fruits in California the use of fsuperphosphates, according to Prof. HilgRrd, will be found much better adapted to the purpose than either barnyard or stable manure, in that they contain the neces- sary constituents of which the soil has been de- prived by its long continuance in the cultiva- ton of such crops. In setting out trees, one pound per tree should be used, thoroughly mixed with the soil before irrigating. The quantity used on old trees according to the age of the tree-tree years otd, pounds; 10 years old 10 pounds. If the trees are 20 feet apart or more, and the soil be very poor, greater quan- tity may be used to good advantage. The fer tilizer may be applied at any time before a rain or irrigating.
