lating 10 offences against public health
and safety, requiring all persons prsc-
tcing medicine obst"tric or surgery
within the territory to have honorabIy
acquired diplomas from medical colleges
of good standing, and amending the

from the committee with an amend.
Inent in favor OF physicians holding
license from hoard of medical ex-
aminers OF another state or territory
also in favor OF women who present five
atfidavits from citizens declaring that
she has successfully practiced obste-
tries.
Here very curious thing happened.
The amendments were generally dis.
cussed with bland show of interest,
but without any warmth OF feeling indI.
cative Of strong opposition and when
every thing was got in readiness for the
finale it came unexpectedly. The bill
was indefinitely postponed.

Bill No. l49.

At Mr.. Shannon's Act to Regu-

House Bill No. 81 to Extensively
Amend the School Laws
=. Passes the Connoll.

DIR. Wright, OF Cochise county, is
advertising for an advertisement.
Some days ago DIR. Wrigh', OF Cochse
county, inserted in the want" column
OF the house "For Sale" ad, invit ny
competitive bids from responsible par
ties for a territorial capital, second
hand, but warranted to be in good con.
dition. Yesterday the same gentleman
caused to be published in the same COL
umn = Lost" ad, descriptive OF his
former advertisement. In other words,
the doctor wants to know what became
OF house hill No. l49. No written his
tory OF the bill is oblainsble, hut it is
remembered and the clerks records
prove it, that the bill was re-
lerred to the proper committee
and 100 copies were ordered printed.
The printed copies were duly
put in circulation, but the original
''copy" is missing. The doctor de.
sired yesterday morning that svme ac-
ton be taken on the bill, but it
couldn't be found. The discovery Of
this Unforeseen and unfortunate absence
of house hill No. l49 was coincident
with the absence Of the gentleman from
Gila, Mr.. Hunt. Mr.. Hunts absence
alone, would have attracted attention,
for he has probably been more con-
slant in attendance than any other
member OF the house, with the possible
exception vi the speaker. Coupled,
though, with the disappearance OF
house bill No. l49, Mr.. Hunts ab.ence
WAS doubly conspIcuous. Mr.. Hunt is
chairman of the printing committee.
Here were three plain facts upon which
DR.. Wright based horrible suspicion
that Mr.. Hunt had evidently and pur
posely absconded with the bull. The
suspicion developed into certainty
and alUrg in the AFTERNOON the doctor
moved that he be ordered to surrender
it. The order was passed by the house,
but how Was It TO be enforced? The
doctor moved again that the sergeant
alarms be armed with a requlsition for
the missing chairmaa OF the printing
committee and compel him by force t.
return TO his seat. The motion was
amended to read lat 8 O'Clock tomorrow
morning" AZ which time Mr.. Hunt
will lie brought in dead or alive and
his person or lis corpse will be searched
for the lost house bIll.
More than hall Of the afternoons
session was occupied in the whole com
mittee with Mr.. Shannon's fees aud
salaries bIll. Only one section OF il
was completed when the committee
rose and recommended the reference OF
the bill t. the judiciary committee.
Upon it. main points there seems to be
unanimtv in the house, though Their are
slight differences OF Op MON as t. some
minor features which, it is believed,
the Judiciary committee will be able t.
reconcile.

A prediction based upon the expert.
ence OF former years was made last
winter that with the coming of spring
the rapidly acquired population OF
Phoenix would begin to fall off. 1t
transpires, however, that times are
changing and that smaller part of the
crowd which accumulated here during
the fall and winter was made up OF
more winter residents than was sup.
posed.
The system of estimating the monthly
changes OF population, inaugurated
last September, has hken kept up and
it is discovered that the balance of

LONDON, Jan. 2S-Christopher Davits,
a leader among Birmingham anarchists,
smashed a jewelers. window in News
street, Birmingham, last evening, and
snatched two handfuls Of watches and
rings.
When a policeman started TO arrest
him Davits threw the iewelry into the
gutter, but did not run. .
The watches and rings were valued at
500 or $500
Most OF them were recovered by the
jewelers. clerks.
In the Police Court Davits acknowl-
edged that he took the jewelry, but pro-
tested against the imputation OF rob-
berry.
He did not wish the watches n rim gs
for his own use he said, but took them
and scattered them in the gutter. TO call
attention to the unequal distribution oil
property. The magistrate committed
him for trial. As he was taken from the
court room Davits shouted long live

shouted back long live Anarchy"
These two were arrested but one OF them
was Afterwards released with a caution.
