THE United States geological survey, says the Worlds Fair Notes, has been for ten years engaged in making a great map of the United States, parts of which will be on exhibition at the Worlds Fair. The piece, six feet in length and four feet in width, now ready, includes the state of Connecticut and bit of Long Island and eastern New York. This vast map will take at least twenty-five more years to complete. lis detail is such that upon it will be indicated every stream, brook, hillock, mountain valley, farm, village and city. It will show every public and private road as completely as a surveyors map of a small township This map, when completed, would, if spread out. cover little over three quarters of an acre in superficial area. Of course it would be impossible to sus- pend such map as to make 1t available for practical use, and therefore it will have to be published in sections. In ad- dition to this piece of the map of the United States the geological survey is preparing an outline map of the country. which will also be exhibited at the Fair It is to be spherical in shape. By it at a glance the different elevations, the table-lands, the mountain ridges and the valleys will be indicated in the outline, the highest peaks of the mountains be- ing proportionately elevated as much above the sea level as are the peaks of the Rocky Mountains above the Atlantic and Pacific coast lines

CHAIRMAN CARTER, of the National committee is as silent in the presence of newspaper men as ever Senator Quay was when he held the same position. When he was in Washington last week he absolutely refused to be interviewed for publication, but stated that the pre- limiuary work of the committee was all in good shape and that the Republican party was presenting a solid front to the enemy. He also intimated that while the committee was not placing any special dependence upon getting any electoral votes from the South, baliev- ing that Harrison and Reid will be elect ed without them, it has excellent reasons for believing that there will be break in the "solid south" next November 4 very pleasant incident of MT Carter's visit to Washing on, and a surpri ing one to him, was the presentation to him by the employees of the General Land Office, of which he WAS commissioner when elected chairman of the National committee, of gold watch and chain.

Cruel. Cruel

To its victims is that iuexorable foe 10 human peace, that destroyer of rest and
 frequent termination of human life rheumatism. Like many other physical ills. it is easily remediable at the outset with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which expels the rheumatic virus from the
 blood through the kidneys. There ex- ists the amplest evidence to prove that in cases that have resisted other treat ment the Bitters has produced thorough and permanent results. But to tenn porize with this malady is folly. Attack it at once with the Bittsrs and it may be nipped in the bud. When mature it is the most obstinate of complaints. Kidney trouble, dyspepsia, neuralgia, incipient gout, constipation, malaria and liver complaint beat nasty retreat when the Bitters is summoned to the rescue. A winegiassful three times day.

QUITE an amusing incident recently took place on Pennington street that WAS innocently the cause of more wind ed dudes than ever died in vain. The personal in the affair was young wo- man on the run with a Colts revolver in her hand and every dude in sight showing his heels before her. No sone knew who the lady was and no one cared
 to take chances incident to closer ln- vestgation. It might be the other fele low that she was after and 1t might not, so they bent themselves around the
 most convenient corners and kept going. Nancy Hanks was nowhere in a mile race. If there was one runaway there
 were ten as no good pair of legs could
 afford to stop and take chan ces of hay ing the body abused. The unanimity
 with which most of the young fellows disappeared from sight was strongly suggestive of women and pistols on tap. Their fears, however, in the present instance, were groundless. It appears that the father of the young lady was preparing for trip to the country and had forgotten his revolver, and his daughter was merely hurrying to give 1t to him before he left town. When this had been learned through Chief Roche, who Is usually on hand on such interest ing occasions, it was said to be quite amusing to see with what apparent non- chalance more than one young man came from his hiding place where but a short time before there were anxious moments when they wished to be alone.

AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY

THE city of Tucson need expect no material advance in it's future building up unless it aids and abets its own ad- vancement by a disposition te help along and encourage such improvements as the city is naturally in need of. The repairing of the streets and sidewalks and the establishment of water towers or the improvement of the present sys- tenn of water pressure in emergencies of fire. Two little homes were consumed yesterday in open view of hundreds of people and ia the presence of the fire department because there was not sufficient water to fight the flames. It will be question with capitalists whether they would erect two or three story buildings in order to see them lapped up by the flames. It will be a question with the insurance compau- ies whether they would take risk that would prove sure thing against them. In behalf of modern requirement-in behalf of city's necessities it is about time the city council arouse themselves to some action in matter pertaining to the city's welfare. To remain inactive in the lap of lethargIc atmosphere, to be shorn of our own promotion as city of average standing among com merciai cities by a Dallilah of inactivity will come back tOus in days of regrets that will cause us to witness thousands upon of dollars invested elsewhere having passed on to more attractive and better advertised communities.

A young boy working for NIT. Hoskins

4 young boy working for Mir. Hoskins south of town, was recently bit by a dog supposed to be mad. It is doubt ful, however, if the brute in question was afflicted with the rabies; although his actions strongly resembled animals so affected. This country has been sing ularly free from the dreaded disease of hydrophobia and no well authenticated case of dog poisoned of the rabies has yet been known, and it is to be hoped never will The boy was taken to the hospital and is reported doing well.

Those who whilst not called upon in a line of official duty to aid Tn smothering the fire yesterday evening, still in a spirit of good citizenship, manhood and hearts beating in behalf of suffering at any time can be mentioned the railroad boys of the machine shops and around the depot, who worked hard and untir- ing in their efforts to aid in stopping the progress of the fire, and their valua- ble services are most duly appreciated by all Of the large crowd present who witnessed their efforts in behalf of stay ing the flames whIch had it succeeded in gaining much further headway might have resolved itself into disas- trous conhagration.

What is lacking is truth and conf deuce If there were absolute truth on the one hand and absolute confidence on the other. it wouldn't be necessary for the makers of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem edy to back up plain statement of fact by $500 guarantee. They say:-"If we can't cure you make it personal, please,) of catarrh in the head, in any form or stage, we'll pay you $500 for your trouble in making the trial" An advertise ment fake" you say. Funny, isn't it, how some people prefer sickness to health when the remedy is positive and the guarantee absolute. Wise men don't put money back of flakes" And ''fak- ing doesn't pay.

TEMPERATURE AND SUNsHINE,
 The temperature during the early part of the week has ranged much above the normal in all parts of the Territory In wes- ern ArlZOna he excess was greater excess was 24 degrees above the uormal; at Tucson, l5 degrees above. The aver age maximum temperature at Yuma was lO6 degrees; average minimum, "A; at Dudleyville, average maximum. 9S; aver age minimum, B; at Tucson. average maximum, 9S; average minimum, 73. The average temperature was about degrees above the normal. The amount of sunshine averaged about the normal, being less than the nOrmsl in eastern Arizona and greater in western.
 RAINFALL
 Tho rainfall was less than usual ex- cept in the northern and southern DOT tons, where some good rains fell during the latter part of the week The follow ing stations reported rain during the week: Farley's Camp, c. 20; Dudleyville, 0.69; Mt. Huachuca, 048; Wilgus. O.l5; Tucson, I.90 inches. Light showers were also reported in the vicinity of Prescott. CROP SUMMARY.
 Crops have made an excellent growth in southwestern Arizona, during the past seven days The weather has been es- pecially favorable during the year for the growth of all veget alton and. the Col Orado Valley Is teeming with healthy and vigorous vegetation. Fresh fruit is abundant, and field crops and citrus Innlyinr, rr-an T., western Arizona, the weather has been too hot for the growth of melons which wilted even with plenty of water AL falfa and other crops are looking we'll In the vicinity of Prescott the weather has been favorable for the growth of vegetables and grapes, peaches and other | fruits. The grass on the ranges is in need of a soaking rain. Farther east in the vicinity of Farley's Camp, light | showers, insufficient for range grass, have | fallen. Heavy rains are much needed. Good rains have fallen in the vicinity of DudleyVille, in the north m part of Pinal county, which have influenced the growth of grasses and field crops Plenty l of water Is available for irrigation. In the vicinity of PaysOn and in the south eastern part of Yavapai county the drOuth continues. Good rains would be of great value. Showers in the vicinity of Mt. Huachuca have frightened the grass in some localities, but in others grass is suffering from drought. In the vicinity of Tucson heavy rains have fal- len which will be of great benefit to the cattle interests. Cattlemen are wearing a pleasant smile. In southeastern Ari- zona in the vicinity of Wilgus, rain is badly needed. Crops Of corn and other vegetation irrigated are look ng we'll, but grass is beginning to wilt, and as it is getting late, farmers are entertaining serious apprehensions that grass will not be long enough for hay, which source of feed is depended upon almost entirely for the sustenance of cattle

A test case would be made of the arrest of some Chiuamen in Detroit, where they are held on charge of violating the exclu- sion law passed by the present congress. In this way the Exclu sion Act and the provision compelling Chinamen to take out certificates of residence would be tested together.

 few moments before the shooting
 Schmitt exhibited to police officer an ugly-looking cut over hIs heart, evidently a knife wound. He refused to give the name of his assailant, saying he did not want the man arrested. Passing up the street he encountered Els, who Is SUD- posed to be his assaIlant, and shot him in the bowels. Schmitt was lodged in jail and Els was taken home.
 The affair is an outgrowth of the trouble between union and non-union blacksmiths in this city. Some time ago the shop of Schmitt was blown up by dynamite, and he had Els and another man arrested for the crime, but the ev- idence was too slight to warrant their detention, and they were discharged.
 SACRAMENTO, Aug. 22.-Todsy word vas sent to the county hospital that an old man was lying sick and helpless in shanty on the outskirts of the city.

He was sui fering from typhoid fever and being un- able to walk to the hospital took refuge iu the shanty. He was delirious and would not give his name, and that on bis permit was simply "Johnson."
 When stripped for a bath each leg was found encircled with garter made of canvas doubled and the edges sewed together. These garters had not ap- parently been of his legs for mary months if not for years. Each contained fifteen S20 gold pieces, making $500. He also had sS in his pockets. Thus far the case is a mysterious one. The man had every appearance of tramp. He is upwards of 90 years of age.
 HAMBURG, Aug. 2.-Cholera appeared in all parts of the city and the suburbs. The worst is in the harbor quarter. Yes- terday $40 cases and 130 deaths were re- ported.

And seek the purling brook that flows
Between iis fringe Of velvet moss,
Where tiny turquoise blossom blows.
