over Charged

The Tom lsstone Prosprctor say:
"A regent issue OF the GlohD d .no.
crat contains Washington dispatch
which for chain of falsehoods -
unequaled by any Washington news
sent out this season It relates to
ch ,rges, said to have been preferred
against Gov Hughes.
In the first place it accuses Gov.
Hughes of having wife who trav-
els through the territory advocating
women's rights and temp-rance.
Secondly, it accuses The governor
Of having been attorney general
under Cleveland's former admins
tratioa, and of having o. that time
in an official capacity buncofd som.
body oct Of $4,000
3 Another charge is that h" did
some work for the government aud
charged four times too much for 1T.
Also that after Harrison remov-
e.l him from his office of attorney
general he was 1;sbarred ffom prac-
tice IN the territorial courts
The dispatch states that Col.
Hoge, who was appeinted consul
to Annoy, China, end who Was re-
called when about to sail from San
francisco, is doing all III his power
to trouble the governor. 1t is
claimed that Gov. Hughes caused
him to te recalled
These are specimens of the char
ges upon which the president is
asked to remove the governor, only
one Of wh.ch is true. The COVER
nor's enemies are indeed hard up
for ammunition when they seek to
damage a mans character by accus-
ing his wife Of being a temperance
advocate.
Mrs. Hughes is woman Of
whom every Arizonan should feel
proud. She does advocate woman
suffrage and temperance but she
does not travel around the territory
as stated. She remains quietly at
home and attends to her knitting,
while the governor travels around
the territory and saws wood.

Mr.. Armeny will resume work

turquoise in the rcugh.hrings $3.50

The sting of a bee is composed of
two spears of polished horn held in
a sheath. One gets an idea of the
sharpness of the weapon by very
simple comparison. The edge of a
very keen razor, when examined
under the microscope appears as
broad as the back Of a thick knife,
rough, uneven and full of notches.
An exceedingly small and delicate
needle similarly scrutinized resem-
bles a rough bar from smiths
forge. The sting of a bee viewed
through the same instrument, shows
fawless polish without the least
blemish or inequality, ending in a
point too fine to be discerned. In
the act of stinging, the spears, each
of which has nine barbs and is
grooved with a channel for the
passage Of the poison, emerge from
the sheath. One OF them is plung-
ed Into the flesh of the victim, the
other following, and alternately
they penetrate deeper and deeper.
The venom is forced to the end OF
the spears by much the same pro-
cess as that which carries the pol
son from the tooth of a snake
when it bites.

Citrus Fruits and Temperature.
The Arizola Oasis says:

lne ArlZ0lA OASIS says:
Sunday morning at the same
time the self registering thermome-
ter at Arizola read l9I degrees
above zero, at Riverside, California
the same kind Of all instrument
registered one and one-half degrees
lower; and the associated press re-
ports orange groves a. that place
quite severely touched by the frost.
On the same day the Oasis editor
made careful examination of or
ange trees at Arizola, and found
that the frost had atouched them
very slightly. These facts make it
patent that this part of Southern
Arizona is safer for citrus fruits
than the famed Riverside region;
that the latter is subject to just as
great degree OF cold in winter,
and that owing to other climatic
conditions the frost does not take
that hold upon citrus trees here
that it does at Riverside.
The fact above noted is due to
the exceeding dryness of the Ari-
IONA climate. 1t has long been
known that oranges in Southern
California would pass unscathed
through degree Of frigidness thal
in Florida would kill them, and
that has been accounted for by tn,
Inference between the humid Flor
ida climate and the stmi-arid eli
mate of Southern California. Reas
oping upon the same philosophy it
has been held that With its niue
iryer aimo phere Southern Arizona
is naturally safer for citrus fruits
than Southern California; and the
cold snap of this week has proved
the truth of the position of those
who have so contended.
AS yet citrus culture in Southern
Arizona is in its infancy; but it is
destined to a great and profitable
development. In the Salt River
valley the Arizona Improvement
Co., has demonstrated just what
can be- done; and there is a big
lield for the industry in the great
Casa Grande valley. Citr1s cult
ure, intelligently and scientifically
followed, as at Riverside, Redlands
and elsewhere in Southern Califor-
ia, can be made very profitable
lcre, Windbreaks should he gr'wn
20 shelter the growing citrus trees,
md attention should be paid to
trees adapted TO the climate. III
this connection iC might be well to
take leaf from the experience of
our peighbors in Sonora, and plant
such as have been SO successful
with them. J.

There are now tifty-fve pupils

are gradually realizing the fact
that they have an institution of

sons and daughters can receive a
first-class education, and that at

entailed in sending their children

such an institution in operation
