INDIAN CURIOSITIES
The Extensive Scheme Undertaken
 Bya Tucson Man.

Few people are aware of the magni-
 tude of the enterprise undertaken by
 Frank S. Dobbs of this city. He has
 already collected for the Worlds Fair ehixbition, the largest and most va ried collection of specimens Indian
 workmanship and see ds of Arizona vegI-
 tation ever gathered in the Territory. He will take with him to Chicago not less than one hundred barrels of seeds and cuIios having already packed and ready for shipment fifty barrels, and specimens still coming in from ali parts
 of the Territory. A visit to Mir. Dobbs house in town reveals, besides the half dozen women who are assisting him and
 his wife in the preparation and packing of
 the collection nothing but seeds and pottery. Tables, shelves, chairs and even the floor are crowded and covered with pottery ollas idols, Gila Monsters
 turtles, Sun Gods, pitchers, and' various shapes of vases, not to mention sacks upon sacks of seeds.
 Of course the idols and Sun Gods are l not by any m cans genuine articles of an- tlqulty dug up from Aztec ruins, nor is such elaImed for them, but they are faithful reproductions, manufactured by | the Indians of today, of the idols Yor- shipped, end utensils used, by the dwel- | lers at least, of these parts, if not their | forefathers of the remote prehistoric ages The work of MT. Dobbs aside | from its commercial aspect cannot fail to ! be success. Of course be expects to get satisfactory returns for the consider | ably sums he has already invested in gathering these articles snd as we'll, that his collections will excite great interest, being the genuine work of the Indians
 as it is, of the many learned geographers
 and savants from all parts of the world, l who will visit the Fair. He is armed
 with credentials signed by the leading men of Arizona and las already secured
 good space in the building of the Expo
 sltion of Liberal Arts.

AZTEC URNS.
he Remains of an Ancient Grove
 Discovered by Indianss

Yesterday an Indian brought in an ola containing about peck of ashes and bones, the remains of the prehis- toric people.
 The find IS quite curiosity to anti quarians and the olla must contain the remains of half dozen people-perhaps family. It seems to have been the custom of these people to use the same much ID the same manner, that we of latter days, use the family walt.
 When one died his remains were ere mated and put in the same receptacle that contained the ashes of the mem bers Of the family previously deceased, The vessel was then reburied where it remained till another death.
 This last find was taken out by the Indians in digging ditch on the south side of the Salt River, and is at Pratt Bros, store,-Herald.

A SURE WINNER
The Republicans Nominate a Ticket
 Last Night that Will Sweep the City.

The Republicans met last night in the district court room and proceeded al once to nominate straight party ticket for city offices. John V. Paul acted ss chairman, and M. P. Freeman was se- cretary.
 From the beginning it was evident that the meeting meant business. In | digGant at the renegade action Of the | Democrats the night before, enthusias- tIc over the splendid character of the slate which had been prepared, and per fectly confident of sweeping everything at election, the meeting got to work. Everything passed off quickly and with out rangiing or even balloting.
 The nominations were:
 Mayor-W. Perry.
 Councllman-at-large - Capt. R. w. Gray.
 Councilman, 1st ward - pr. H. W. Fenner.
 Councilman, 2nd ward-H B. Penney
 City Recorder and Clerk-T. A. Judd.
 City Treasurer E. Felix.
 City Assessor-L. B. Hayes.
 Marshal-Jack r. Zimmerman.
 A meeting to ratify the ticket and hear committees report will be held this evening in the same place, when the committee on resolutions Judge Wright, Ben Heney and pr. H. w. Fen her will report.
 The. committee appointed to bring in d list of seven for the city central com mittee will also report and some of the pent up enthusiasm which WAS not al- lowed to escape last night will take the form of speech making. The candidates wers all chosen unanimously by accla- nation There was scarcely dissenting vote in the case of any one. It was plain to all that the makers of the list proposed for nomination had worked for the good of the city and the nomI- nation of men who could not be defeat ed.
 rhe following is a list of the me chosen.

Expensive Repairs.

4 submarine telegraph cable has a life of from ten to twelve years. If cable breaks in deep water after it IS ten years old it cannot be lifted for repairs, as it will break of its own weight. On thls account cable companies are prepared to put aside a large reserve fund i'll order that they may be prepared to replace their cables every ten years. The action of the sea eats the iron away so com lletely as to turn the outside coating to dust or sediment while tae core is still intact The breakage of an ocean cable is very costly accident, owing to the difficulties to be encountered in repair. ing it. It often becomes necessary in case of 8 break to charter ship at $500 per day for several days in succession, tsying to fix upon the location where the cable has parted. One breakage n the Direct Cable company's line few years ago cost that syndicate $125, ; ,Oe0.->Bostor Transcript

PLAIN UNvARNIsHED TALE.

There has for some time, been a grow ing disposition on the part of some of our citizens to do something for the town. It IS claimed among other ad- vRntages for Tucson that she has the finest climate in the world and IS so favorably ntuated as to command the commercial interest of a country larger than that dominated by any other city between Los Angeles on the west and Fl Paso on tke east. But the ancient and depressing appearance Of the town, and the consequent depression of trade incident to an antiquate1 municipal management of our city affairs has been fast making Tucson take her place as a back number.
 Other towns and trade centers have been built up under sour very noses trade and immigration diverted from us. The light has been bidden under bushel and under the false plea of economy the city has suffered general decadence of its trade and has seen its proud position as a commercial center slowly firittered away.
 Recognizing that something must be done the most progressive citizens called upon the Board of Trade to take action in the matter, and this was done by the appointment of five influential citizens from the two dominant political parties, to select names for mayor and three councilmen, and to report same to mass meeting of citizens called for that purpose. This was done and the action of the committee was unanimously en- dorsed. But-this action did not please whippers in of the Democratic party and they not only refused to be bound by the conditions of the compact, but insisted upon putting ticket in the field pledged tU the individual interests of the democratic party managers ra- ther than to the public service.
 Under the circumstances the only course open to the Republicans was to call mass meeting and nominate a mu picipal ticket that would be acceptable to the progressive citizens of the city. They met in Mass meeting last evening and placed in nomination w. 1. Perry for mayor, R. W. Gray, for councilman at large; pr. H. W. Fenner for council man from the First ward; H. B. Penney for councilman of the Second ward. Than these gentlemen there are no bet ter citizens nor are there any who have greater interests at stake in the welfare of the city. It is theIr desire as it is the desire of every good citizen in the com nunity, that the credit of the city should be pledged for its bettermeut, for bet ter water system, a better lighting of the streets, better streets, a sewerage system and more healthful city. All these things can be had by the iudicious expenditure of money which will in due time be returned to the city fourfold. Let the town be given an air of business solidity and a more progressive sentiment manifested by her citizens and capital will seek investment, hotels will be built street railroads laid and a new era of prosperity will dawn on Tucson. Let them be elected. It means money and wealth te the city.

BEN PARKER'S TRICK.
How He and Judge Barnes Abducted
 L.C. Hughes.

| l., c. Hughes of the Star went tc Benson to shake hands with Mark Smith, preparatory to his departure for
 Washington, and after bidding Mark an affectionate farewell, Mir. Hughes board ed the sleeping car at two o'clock ln the morning en ronte for his home in Tue son.
 Mir. Hughes paid the conducor for his berth cautioning him to have him awakened at Tucson at 4:l0 o'clock but the Tucson statesman neglected either to tell the porter or to give him tip, hence the sable attendant took himself to his couch, and yesterday. at 9:15, three hours after the sun had warmed thu day, the Star editor looked out from the curtain ed bed in the pullman. and in frightened tones demanded of the porter who was standing near where he was "alnt thls train late getting to Tucson" asked MT. Hughes, "Tucson-T ucson" quoth the Porter, why sir, you are sixteen miles east of Yuma and going Californiaward at the rate of tbirty-tlve miles an hour, and the stalwart son of Ham kept right along brushing his windows. The Star man who is noted for his plety, jumped into the aisle, dressed m. his night gar ments, and after knocking the astound ed porter down, broke every command ment st hand, and avowed that Mark Smiths whisky was the d-dst he had ever drank, and accused Barnes and Ben Parker of putting up job to abduct him, so as they could secure an appoint ment under Cleveland.
 The conductor after time appeased the Tucson editor, and bathing his head ID Ice water, gave him into the keeping of Sam Gillispe of Yuma to snip back to Tucson. We think this is the mean est trlck Ben Parker every was guilty of.-Gazette.

ExtinguIshing Fires by Electricity


 Fires have once in a while been caused by electricity, and it seems strange that the very source of danger can now be utilized as a cure for the i'll that it may create. The systems of automatic sprinkling generally adopted are open to many objections, and are often found uncertain in action just at the moment when they are required. The main diff culties which have hitherto stood in the way are now overcome by the use of an electrical sprinkler.
 This modification comprises the use of motor and pump and complete sys- tenn of sprinkler" pipes, which can be so arranged as to cover every part of the building it is desired to protect. Push buttons are placed ill convenient posi- tions on every floor, and these start the motor and pump and open any valves which may be required for the extinction of the fire. It is an immense advantage to thus be able to gain control of large masses of water and to lOcalize the flow. New York Telegram.

As the railroad workmen were engaged in removing loose stones from the em- bankment near the stone bridge recently. they unearthed one of peculiar shape. having one side smoothed and bearing an inscription which, after much labor, was deciphered to read, ''Loo fir pa. , On account of its peculiar shape ard the interest attached to it, the stone was re- moved to the tool house near the depot, where it now lies, and can be seen by those interested.

Pinples:

The old ides of 70 NSars ago was that facial eruptions were due U "blood humO1,' for which they gave potash. Thus all the old Sarsa- parillas contain potash, most objectionable and drastic mineral, that instead of decreasing, actually creates more eruptions. You have no- ticed this when taking other Sarsaparinas than Joys It is however now known that the stom- seh, the blood creating power, is the seat of all vitiating or cleansing operations. A stomach elogged by indigestion or constipation, vitiates the blood, result pimples- A clean stomach and healthful digestion purides it and they disappear. Thus Joys Vegetable SarsapaTillGi is compounded after the modern idea to regulate the bowels and stimulate the digestion. The effect is immediate and most satisfactory. A short testimonial to contrast the action of the potash SarSaparillss and Joys modern vegetable preparation. Mrs. c. D. Stuart, of 100 Hayes St, s. F., writes: "I have for years had indigestion, I tried popular Sarsaparilia but it actually caused more pimples to break out on my face. Hearing that Joys was c later preparation and acted differently, tried 1t and the pimples immediately disappeared."
