Weather-Crop Bulletin of the Ari-
 zona Weather Service.

For the week ending September 26, 1892.
 TEMPERATURE AND SUNSHINE.
 The week ending Sept. 26th has been | slightly warmer than usual. This ex- cess in temperature was evenly olstrlb- uted. At Tucson, the excess was 10 degress for the week; at Yuma, II de- gress. Wednesday and Thursday the temperature was slightly below the average, but during the remainder of the week was above. The average max imum temperature at Tucson was g degrees, average minimum, 63 degrees; at Dudleyville, average maximum, 100 degrees, average minimum, 64 degrees; at Yuma, average maximum, 99 degrees. average minimum, 6S degrees. Since March 1st the average temperature is 190 degrees below the normal.
 RAINFALL.
 The rainfall during the week has been very Eight, and insufficient to improve vegetation of any klnd. The drought remains unbroken throughout the ter ritory. At Tucson 0.G6 of an inch of rain fell during the week, winch was not enough to be of noticeable benefit. All other stations report no rainfall. Since March 1st the average deficiency in precipitation as deduced from stat istics covering a number of years is 23S inches below tue normal.
 CROP SUMMARY.
 In western Arizona, crops under IT, rigation, such as late fruits and melons, have ripened well during the week, but the excessively hot and dry weather has had an injurious effect upon the cattle ranges which are now almost destitute of grass in most localities, and will not afford feed for many cattle during the winter. In northern aud central Ariz- ona, nearly all crops have been harvest ed. The yield In most cases has been Eight. Cattle ranges are in a worse condition than they have been in for several years. In east central and east ern Arizona, about the same state of affairs exists as regards the cattle ranges. The corn and potato crops are Eight. In most instances the corn has been out for fodder owing to the scarcity of hay, In southern Arizona, most crops have ripened and been harvested. The hay crop has not been very good. In the vicinity of Fort Huachuca, Eight show CTS of rain, and cool weather, have favor ed the growth of grass on the ranges put ln OCl6r lOCAllIleS Jn0 weather mas been hot and dry, and the hills and mesas are parched and destitute of good grass.
 HOTE.
 This is the last Crop Bulletin that will be issued during the present season, as it IS believed they will be of no special value, now that the growing season is over. The success and general approval of this bullet in surpassed the directors most saBguine expectaIlons, when the undeveloped agricultural resources of Arizona were considered, and great pleasure Is here taken in thanking the crop correspondents for their valuable cooperation in furnishing reliable data. To the hearty CO operation of the press, the director also wishes to express hls indebtedness The bulletins were pub hshed by weekly and daily papers in all parts of the territory, nearly always in full, giving thorough dissemination of the information.

The Finest Private Library In the World
 About to Re SOld


 For some time past it has been ru- mored that the famous AlthOrp library. which Dibdin called the finest private collection in the world. was about to be sold, and now the announcement is made upon authority, says the St. James Gazette. It is hoped to sell it en bloc, but should that not be possible It will be put up at auction. Selling the most famous of the worlds private slibraries in q lump can mean only one thlng-selling 1t to -iuerica We trust that may not happen, since Lord Spencer collection contains many vol umes which 1t is national pride to DOS sess-such, for instance as the famous Valdarfar ''BOccaccio." which Lord BlandfOrd wrested from the second Earl Spencer for c2. .26O. to be ultimate ly bought for Althorp for the bagatene of G75O. It will be an epoch-makinp sale, for this great library contains some 5O,OOo volumes, mostly priceless. Scarce editions on vellum and large paper, magnificent printing, and dag zling bindings by Pasdeloup and Roger Payne-these are its glOries. Many of the books, too, have famous histories. They have felt the touch of the Pompa- dour or of Diane de POitiers, ,'or the ele- gant grasp of Francis I. There are eighty-two out of the ninety-nine known productions of Caxton, to say nothing of the famous Mentz Psalter. a copy of which has fetched 5000. To sell the AlthOrp library, indeed. is al- most as though we were to sell the rarest rarities of the printed book de- partment of the British museum.

 of hope) yes, it means everything to the
 principles of this great party and its ad-
 herants. The party of Jefferson. The
 party of ths constitution. That party
 which through sunshine and storm,
 through pestilence snd civil war, has
 ever maintained its name, and integrity
 of principles. That party which has
 seen myrad of parties come aId pass away. A party anchored in the princi-

 Such party and it's principles, de- clare unto you should be persOnified by the great and pure men of this party.
 While principles are important, the rep reseDtstives of these principles are of still greater importance. For 1t js a fact, that while principles have always existed. tbeir influence and effect IS most felt when they are De; sOnitied by men whose purity of character, patriot ism aud unselfish devotion to society reflect these principles, in applying them with view of the greatest good to the greatest number; such men give ex- pression, living force and vitallty to principles, such men are the persOnii- cation of principles.
 Yes gentlemen this choice of Arizona Democracy will be worthy of a great party and the coming state of ArIzona (applause from the Pima delegation.) It will bs another unanswerable argu- ment for statehood (sensation) and high qualifications of the responsibility of the state.
 To Ben Parker as the leader and em- bodlment of the Arizona Democracy, and the exponent of its principle, We can all point with virtuOus pride we can all say to our young men If you would rise to eminence in the council of the Democratic party, follow in his foot steps: take him as your guide, tour maidens will say to their brothers In the path that he has trod, is certrin dis tinction in the Democratic party of Ari- zona."

 Remember gentlemen when you vote for Mir. Parker, you declare to the world. that you endorse him as a man, you en- dOrse his high charachter and all he represents, in principle, profession and daily assoc 'ation. With your vote you raise yourself to his standard, you step Cn bis plan Of action, for your vote is an of your inward selves.

Board of Trade Meeting.

At eight o'clock yes erdaY evening the board of trade held q nj 6 2 at their rooms on Congress street next to
 the Consolidated National bank. Mr.
 Ormsby, manager of the W. U. Tele-
 graph O., of this city, presented plans
 and specifications and cot O rrodurt
 and what each light could be furnis ed
 for. It was plain, open, concise busi-
 ness like proposition, with no ifs or buts,
 but placed in an intelligable manner sO that one and all could gee at glance or
 understand at single reading the sum
 and substance of the proposition. From
 the manner and favor in which the pro-
 posed electric light was received last
 night it can be classed as one of the fu-
 ture fixtures of the city. J. P. Louer- gan was present and as a starter was
 willing to take S100 in stock and guar antee subscription for a certain num-
 b of lights for his store purposes. It was shown at the meeting that Fl Paso electric light system was gaining rapid
 ly m public favor and public patronage and the plant at Ncgales was inadequate to supply the demand of that progressive town and had to be doubled.
 The president of the board will ap- point business committee today to further the project and bring it to a definite status.
 The following gives synopsis of the cost of operating the plant and minimum revenue:
 The plant will he run from dusk, say p. m., to midnight. There will be re- quired one engineer to look after the station and operate the machinery and | also to do Lis own firing. One secretary to look after the finances and manage | the business. Oue lineman to replace lamps and install new ones. This , will take but little of a mans time. ] This plant can be run on a basis of , lbs. l of coal per H. P hour The total capa- city of the dynamos 720-16 candle power lamps and to operate it will require 72 1 H. P and if less number of lights are | run, the power will be in proportion. | The least number of lights to be in | stalled within 60 days will be 400 burn l ing until o'clock and 90 from dusk i until midnight.
 Cost of operating based on this sup ply. The power required will be 45 H. | P. till o'clock and 10 H. P. till 12 | O'clOck

EMERALDs AND OWLS.
They Spent the Holiday Together and Had
Good Time.

The fraternal feeling existing between
the Owl Club of Boston and the Emerald
Associates of this city was again demon
strated yesterday, when the former en-
joyed the proverbial hospitality of the
latter, it being the occasion of the EN-
eralds' field day. The visitors were met
at the boat in the morning by delega-
ton of their hosts and they were escort
ed to breakfast at the clubs rooms. At
breakfast a parade was given, the partic
ipants making a fine appearance. A
special boat was then taken and pleas
ant was enjoyed, ending at Long Island
At noon the visitors were shown what a
genuine down East clambake was like.
1t was prepared by the steward of the
club and was amply enjoyed by the Bos-
ton genslemen. Then came a game of
base ball which was declared by the UNI
pire to have resulted in favor of himself
Last evening reception was given. at
the club rooms, when President O'Nell
welcomed the visitors. There were in
teresting post prandial exercises, partici-
pated in by both the Emeralds and the
visitors.
The Owls will return home tod ay.
They presented the Emeralds with a
large stuffed and a fine specimen of the

WHAT Mr.. LIBBY SAID.
The Interview Published in the Boston
Herald Entirely Misrepresented Him.

To the Editor Of the Press:
PORTLAND, Sept. 5, 1S92.-1n reference
to your inquiry as to the contents of an
alleged interview which correspondent
of the Boston Herald is said to have
had with me, portion of which is re-
published in the Argus of this date, I
will say that young man by the name
of Boyle, think it was, came to me last
week, saying that he had been requested
by the Lewiston Journal to obtain the
opinion of certain gentlemen as to the
outlook of the election in this county
and district, and asked me my opinion as
to the same.
l told him that I thought it was all
right, but there would undoubtedly be
some cutting of the sheriff in this county,
growing out of the feeling that the en-
forcement of the law had injured the
business of the place, and incidentally
expressed the opinion, which it is well
known that entertain, that the prohibit
tory law was not adapted to a commu-
nifty like Portland where public senti-
ment does not earnestly sustain it, how
ever successfully it may work in the
country districts. The part of his inter-
view which do not recognize as correct,
is where he quotes me as expressing an
opinion as to whether or not drunken
ness has increased in the city of Port
land since Mr.. Cram came into Office as
sheriff. [ neither expressed any opin-
ion. nor do / consider that / am in po-
sition to fairly judge OF the fact, as my
time is so much occupied with my own
~ 1,a+ a. NOT a fn oh
serve what the condition of affairs may
be in that regard.
He also quotes me as expressing an
opinion upon the manner in which the
deputy sheriffs have enforced the law,
using language, SO far as my memory
serves me, involving the charge of wan
ton destruction of property, and perfidy
on the part of the officers in obtaining
evidence. This language is entirely the
product of the reporters brain and not
my own, as had no occasion to refer to
that matter at all with him, and ex-
pressed no opinion upon either point,
and on the whole matter, except as to
the general outlook of the election, /
stated to him that did not wish to be
interviewed. I do not quite understand
how the reporter could have made these
statements, or should have undertaken
to report an interview with me upon
matters which, whatever was said as to
tht policy of the prohibitory law, was ac-
companied with the statement that did
not care to be publicly quoted, although
my position on this matter was pretty
well understood. So far anything in
this matter is attempted to be used as in
any way affecting the election, would
simply say now, what have had occa-
sion to say openly and publicly before,
that see no reason to believe that Mr..
Cram will not be reelected to his present
position, and that the sentiment of the
community will sustain an officer who
respects his oath of Office and performs
his duty without fear or favor.
Very truly yours,
esl4 CHARLES T. LIBBY.

AM Effectiyc Cure for Cholera

''fhe worst cholera 1 ever encoun-
tered" said Captain Alvah Hall, of
Deering, yesterday, twas at the port of
St. Jago on the South side of the Island
of Cuba. One year when my vessel was
in there, they had the cholera terribly.
More than hundred and fifty of the
people were dying daily, and it was "a
very mournful town. Right in the midst
of it there came q mighty earthquake,
that toppled houses over and choked up
whole streets with debris. From that
moment the cholera ceased its ravages.
1t was the quickest cure ever saw.
don't know how the cure operated.
whether through the disinfecting proper
ties of sulphurous gases released by the
earthquake, OF by .distracting the
thoughts of the people from the plague;
but i do know that the cure was eff
fectiye."

PROFESSOR HENRY G. WE1TZEL.
When approached in regard to his health, he
spoke in raptures concerning his recovery, for
he considers his restoration to health little
short of miracle, as he had well-nigh lost
hope of ever being well again.
II suffered severely" he said, with indiges-
ton, nervous prostration and palpitation of the
heart. had spells of weakness come over me
so that my legs would give way and would be
forced to leave my work. In fact was in a
bad fix. and my nerves were in a very serious
condition. now thank God that got some Of
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy
got the best medicine at last after trifling with
many doctors, who did me no good. am using
my second bottle, and it certainly beats all the
medicine 1 ever saw. 1 tell you I feel like
another man."
Professor Weitzel is well known at this office,
and the editor can therefore personally vouch
for the absolute truth and correctness of every
one of the above statements. None of Professor
Weitzers friends ever expected to see him we'll
again, and his restoration to health is a great
triumph for DIR. Greene's Nervura, blood and
nerve remedy. 1t certainly does cure the sick.
1t makes them strong and well. Besides, it has
the great virtue of being perfectly harmless
remedy, as it is purely vegetable, Although
sold by druggists for s1.oo, it is not patent
medicine in the ordinary sense of the word but
is the discovery and prescription of the great
specialist in nervous and chronic diseases, DR..
Greene. "a Temple Pl., Boston, Mass, who
gives consultation and advice free to the sick
and the suffering, either personally if you call
at his Office or by letter if you write him about
your case. 49,
We advise sufferers from disease to use his
wonderful discovery, which so remarkably re-
stored Professor Weitzel to health and strength.
