Northern exchanges claim that the Stickeen Indians have seen liv- ing specimen of the mastodon with in the past five years. It is said that last spring, while out hunting, one of the Indians came across a series of large tracks, each tue size of salt barrel, sunk deep in the moss. He followed the cu rious trail for some miles, finally coming putin full view of his game. As a class these Indians are the brayest of hunters, but the propor- tions of this new specimen filled the hunter with terror, and he took to swift and immediate flight. He described the creature as being as large as a post traders store, with great, shining yellowish white tusks, and a mouth large enough to swal- low a man with single gulp. Fishy.-Alb. Citizen.

Natures Sarest Ally.

If nature did not struggle against dis ease, even in weakly constitutions, swift indeed would be the course of malady to it's fatal termination. While nature thus struggles let us, lest worse befall us, aid her efforts with judicious medic inal help. Experience must be our guide in battles with diseases, and that Lamp to our feet" indicates Hostetter's Stom- ach Bitters as a safe, tried and thorough ally of nature. If the blood be infected with bile, if the bowels and stomach are inactive, if the kidneys fail to expel inn purities of which they are the natural outlet, a course of the Bltters is the surest reliance of the sufferer, one, moreover, that is sanctioned by profes- sional indorsement and use for nearly half a century. No American or foreign remedy has earned greater distinction as remedy for and preventive of chron ic liver complaint, malaria, constipa- ton, kidney and rheumatic trouble and debility.

Our legislators should amend the woman's suffrage bill, so as to include all the rights and prerogatives enjoyed by the stronger sex. They should be subject to poll tax and in default of pay ment made to work the public highways. They should have the privilege of en- tering saloons, getting drunk and paint ing the town red. Be subject to jury duty-but we question the policy of giv- ing them this last preroga ive-a good looking man could then commit any of- fence and the tender-hearted damsels could not find it in their hearts to con- vict. The more heinous the crime, the more certain the acquittal. You will then see ladies CD promenading the streets, cigar in mouth, thumbs in arm holes of vest, hats cooked on the back of their heads, reelIng, swaggering and swearing just like sure enough men.

Pima county paid her last $2t

Pima county paid her last $25 bounty on lion scalp yesterday when the clerk of the board award ed Juan Jose Morales S25 for alion he killed near La Osa. Yesterday the bill allowing boards of supervi- sors to use their discretion as to paying bounties was probably sign ed by the governor, becoming a law at once. The discretion of the Pima board of supervisors is that no bounties whatever be paid, the eX- penditure of several thousands of dollars per annum being an expense they are unwilling to continue. This, they believe, is largely composed of scalps obtained in nighboring coun- ties, where bounties are not as easi- ly collectible, or from Sonora Star.
