good luck than any piece of old iron found
by the waysde. The good-luck tradition
belongs to the latter part of the middle ages
and has no direct connection with the
horseshoe at all. Iron was the metal sacred
to Mars, and the popular idea of the middle
ages was that Mars is the perpetual enemy
OF Saturn, the liege-lord of witches. Hence,
to find piece of iron and nail it up with
devOut faith was to be protected from Sat-
urn, the evil deity of the astrologers of
those days. This idea again is manifestly
taken from the Roman conception of driv-
ing iron nails into the porches of their
houses.
But the horseshoe tradition not only goes
back 10 the days of the Romans, but obvi-
ouSly demands something more to account
for the preference exhibited for il. If 1t is
emblems of the early Christians are seen in
all the monuments of the middle ages-no-
tally the palm branch. the fish, the Chi
Rho and the circle, and the Alpha Omega

the form of the horseshoe to the Greek cap

A company of csvaly under Captain Allison stopped over In Tombstone to- day on the way to Huachuca. They have been stationed at Fort Bowie but have been ordered to Huachucs. Some one started a rumor shortly after they arrived that the Kid and party had been captured. There is not word of truth in it, at least no one of Captain Allison's command has heard of it. This company Is comprised of a fine looking lot of men. Their aniTsls are all black with the exception of one belonging to the trumpeter. which is snow white. They presented an i'm posing appearance when riding in town. It is by far the best equipped and formidable looking company that has camped in this neighborhood.

Vile end Unworthy

Of consideration are the nostrums of which it is asserted-and there are many such-thst they cure immed- lately ailments of long standing. There are none such that can. Chron- ic disorders cannot be instantaneously removed. Continuity in the use Of s genuine medicine, such as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, will eradicate chron- ic physical evils. Not the least of these last in the force of it's opposition to medicine is constipation, to the re. moval of which, if persisted in, the Bitters is particularly adapted. Con striction of the bowels is complaint which should be dealt with early and systematically. So are its usual ai- tendsnts, liver complaint and dyspep- sis. For these. for malsris, rheuma- tism, kidney trouble. and m ore recent ly "ls grippe" this highly and profes- sionsily recommended medicine is an undoubted specific. Nothing can exceed it, moreover as q means of i'm parting strength to the feeble and nervous.

w. c. Green has located ditch and eight reservoir sites along the country skirting the north slope of the Hus- chuca mountains.

The proposed ditch is 30 feet wide. tim tervals where nature has assisted, res- ervoirs will be constructed. It is pro- posed to irrigaie the g eat stretch of land between the mountains and the center of the valley which is adapted to the cultivation Of all descriptio, of cereals and fruits. barring citrous var ieties. At the season of the year when the river is full, it is proposed to fill the reservois which can e.-ily be done. A map conveying an idea of the undertaking, was filed to-day with the county recorder.

One Grant Le.s.

The decision of the Supreme court of the United States by winch large portion of the Canon Del Agua grant has been thrown open to settlement in New Mexico, carries with it some in trresiing reading. The Santa Fe New Mexican says that the plaintiffs in the case alleged a frauduion, survey of these grants. They set up that the west boundary line of the grant was in reality and lawfully the eastern boundary line, and that fraud had been practiced in extending the grant lines so as to cover and include the Sig copper mine, the town of San Pedro and a large tract of valuable mineral lands. The area of this tract so covered is about $500 acres and probably in:ludes the Lincoln Lucky, Anaconds and other valuable claims. The New Mexico Supreme court de- cided that this extension of the grant line was fraudulent and the grant proper did not include this 3,3OO acres which is in reality public domain open to entry under the United States land and mining laws. The Supreme court of the United States now comes forward after five years and sffirms this decision, thus throwing open AS public dOmnn one of the gr.atest mineral sections in all the Rocky mountain region. The decision does not, AS many have thought, have any thing affirmative to say on the sub ject as to whether or not a confirmed grant carries the mineral with it. In fact the Supreme court expressly stip- ulat.d that i, would not touch this point, it having heretofore often held that confirmed grants do carry the mineral.

Emigrants from California.

During the past week, says the Yu- ma Times, quite number of people in wagons have passed through town bound for points in that county and elsewhere. They are from different places in southern California. Some will settle at Texas Hill and Mohawk and others are going to Gila Bend. All had good outfits and teams and seemed to he people of some means. The reasons given by them for leaving California are that good lands TOT farming and fruit raising are becoming scarce and high priced and no good government lands are left for home stealing.

Chairman Carter of the Republican national committee, in sDesking of the recent democratic victory says:
 It was too sweeping to attribute it to local causes. Even the weather, Mir. Carter added, could not be gwen as an excuse for the defeat of the Re- publicans. It was protection sgainst free trade and state banks against the nstional bank. The people declared in favor of the latter. From an edu- cationsl standpoint the campaign had been remarkable one.

Two thirds of the offices to be filled are no, worth having ard will not pay the successful aspirant 50 per cent of what his energy would return him if bent with the same amount of zeal in other directions. There is a fascination about office seeking that is on the same plane with the excitement at tending the wagering of money on an election. The man who gives up a profitable position in private life to accept less remunerative one to serve the pubic is almost as much of a martyr as the fellow who bets on his favorite candidate with the know. ledge that he will lose.
