Are You Building?
Osswstomie, Kss.

A few words about building plaster
will be appreciated bV some Of our read
era. Every one knows how difficult and
tedious 1t 10 to finish q building in
winter on account Of the long delay in
drying the plastering and the expense
OF heating in order to prevent frost from
running the plastering. Diamond Co
msnt Plaster is just the thing to use in
cold weather, because frost does not
hurt it, and it dries 80 quickly that q
great deal Of timsand expense are saved
by its use in finishing building. Don't
wait for spring or lose time and money
in waiting for the walls to dry.
It has 600 per cent. more strength
than lime and hair.
It does not chip or crack. It requires
One-hah less labor than lime work.
It requires no glue (that being the ba-
sis Of all other retardeEs) or any foreign
substance to hold the set
Itrequires no hair or other hber.

EDITOR Cuckoo" is the
name given to tie Fepealsrs Of the silver
purchasing clause Of the Sherman act
by Senator Morgan, Of Alabama, in one
OF his speeches in the United States sem
ate on the repeal bill. AS the name IL
altogether appropriate and 10 now quits
frequently used in the reform press, il
would be well for Rll to understand it.
Chambers encyclopedia: "CuCkoo, q
genus Of bird Of tie order Of climbers;
beak compressed, slightly Rrched; tail
long and rounded; wings long; and tarsi
short; two toes directed forward and two
backwards, the antes hind toe capable
Of being brought half round to the
front, No pairing Of male and female;
the female, after having laid an egg on
the ground, deposits it with her beak in
the nest OF other smaller birds, leaving
the egg to be Matched and the young
one to be fed By the proper owners OF
the nest; the young one soon acquires
size and strength enough 10 eject from
the nest any eggs or unfortunate young
birds, the true offspring OF it's foster par
ents, and it ia restless and uneasy until
this is accomplished; it works itself un-
der them, and then jerks them out by q
motion Of the rump; the back Of the
young cuckoo, at this early age, exhibits
speculisr depression between the should
ers, so that an egg or young bird can
easily be got to lie upon it, but this de-
preston and restlessness soon disappears
after the young cuckoo becomes the cole
occupant of the nest"-and is fed by
other birds upon which he has no moral
right whatever.
Anyone reading the above can imagine

monetized silver; another "jerk" that

AyatiOnal Bureau Health.

The following excerpt is taken from
 letter written by Dr. Wm. T
 Barry of Florence, Ariz. We regret
 that we have not space to print tht
 same in full:
 It is painful consideration that tPub-
 lie Health is so slow in receiving proper recognition from the lawmakers of this country.
 If the people really knew that their dear ones were dying yearly from diseases which could be prevented by proper sani. tary measures and quarantine-theyw would rise as one man and demand that without an hours unnecessary delay the proper movement be inaugurated to bring so dreadful, so sorrowful, so shameful a con- dition of affairs to an end forever. And this first step is the coming Bureau of Public Health" Did you ever stand, dear friend. by the bedside of a child and see 1t slowly strangle to death in the grasp of that hateful malady "Diphtheria?" Have you not even blamed the physician for not saving the little ones life? Know then that diphtheria is a preventable though seldom curable disease.
 Ii this is the case does the fault lie witE authorities or with the doctor.
 o Congress of the United States of Amer lea! Our wives, our husbands, our sons, our daughters are perishing-have mercyi Come to the rescue with Bureau of Health with it's enlightened national and international quarantine lays.
 The proposed Bureau of Public Health is to be established within the Department of the Interior, and to consist of Con- missioner and Advisory Council, the duties of this bureau being to collect information upon all matters relating to public health, and to publish all information in a weekly bulletin, and prepare rules and regulations for securing the best sanitary condition of vessels from foreign ports, and to establish a national quarantine system.
 The committee appointed by the Arizona Medical Association to give the foregoing due attention, consists of the following we'll known physi- clans: Dr. P. G. Cotter, (Yuma) Dr. Wm. T. Barry, Flor 9nce; Dr. H. A. Hughes, Phoenix; Dr. w. T. Miller, Tempe.
 We are informed that it is the in- ention of the gentlemen composing he above committee to lay the mat CT before the next Legislature, and urlng the meantime will do every hing in their power to have that onorable body take some definite ctlon In t5e matter, with the object n view of securing protection from he ravages of contagious diseases.

" as Making Progress.

The young fellow was extremely difident and very much in love with the girl.
 He had made half dozen at tempts to offer her his heart and hand, but on each occasion he had fallen short.
 To add to the seriousness of the situation, the girl was ready to ac- eept him as soon as the proposal was in definite shape.
 Even the mother was willing. but latterly she had grown tired of the dilatory tactics and Fabian policy of the suitor, and had kicked on his coming so often and staying so late.
 One night, after three hours struggle on his part, and much delicate encouragement on the part of the girl, he had seized her hand convulsively, dropped on his knees lmpetuously, and was about one fifth through an impassioned ap- peal to her to be his'n, when the mothers voice sounded clear on the night from the head of the stairs.
 The youth stopped short, but held on.
 Mary" came the maternal voice, querulously, ''is that young man there yet?"
 "Not yet, mother" i" replied Mary, smiling sWeetly down on the face of her Romeo, "but he's getting there"

 beautiful neighbor girl. It was g

 about nineteen years old. She was
 an intelligent, refined, and fairly
 we'll educated girl. in a country
 and at time when the girls had
 superior advantages, and were,
 therefore, superior in culture to the
 boys, fixed the day as far off as
 1 could have it put. I lay awake
 in cold precipitation as the time
 drew near, and shivered with agony
 as thought of the terrible ordeal.
 The dreadful day came. I went
 through with the programme some
 how in dazed, confused. mechan-
 ical sort of way. The guests one
 by one departed, and my hair be- gan to stand on end. I felt like fleeing to the woods, spending the night in the barn, leaving for the West, never to return. I was deeply devoted to Sallie. I loved her harder than a mule can kick; but that dreadful ordeal. I could not, dared not stand 1t. Finally the last guest was gone, the bride retired, the fanily gone to bed, and 1 was left with the old man. 'John,' said he, you can take that candle; you will find your room just over this Goodnight, John, and may the Lord have mercy on your soul,' and with mischievous twinkle of his eye, the cid man left the room.

THE CHA VALLEY.

"There IS probably no compact body of agricult-
 ural land in the whole world that will equal in
 area and fertility the valley of Gila, commencing at Florence and ending at Yuma, including the
 Salt river valley. It is more than 200 miles in
 length, with an average width of perhaps 20 miles
 and there is sufficient water to irrigate every foot
 of it. The capabilities of production of this vast
 tract of land is something almost incredible to
 those who have not witnessed the prolific growth of
 egetation in Southern Arizona. Everything the
 temperate zone produces will flourish here, and
 many tropical and semi-tropical fruits and plants
 grow exceedingly we'll There is hardly variety
 from the deciduous fruits of the most northern States to the delicate citrus productions of the southern countries, that cannot be successfully grown in this valley and the tropical banana and the date are readily cultivated with little care
 This vide range of production, in addition to the cng season, iR which from two to four crops mat ure during single year, presents a wonderful ar ray of advantages that apparent to the most casual observer. In addition to this, there is an exclusive supply of the earliest and most profitable market enjoyed by its fruit rasers, involving benefits that no other section enjoys, The climate IS all that mankind can wish for the pure, dry at mosphere being especially beneficial to lnvalids and luxurious to the robust. There are absolutely none of the evils that atct dwelers in other local ities and all the conditions of health and prosper lty are concentrated in this marvellous region The time Is close at hand when this valley will support a dense population of happy and prosperous people and it will acquire fame throughout the world as the nearest approach to an earthly paradise."- Florence Enterprise
