Departure of the Galaxy.

Thursday morning the depot plat form was crowded with friends of the Nogales All Star Dramatic Aggrega- tion, to bid them good bye" and to witness their departure to fill their engagement at Bisbee, an undertaking without parallel save in the recent performance of Sheridan's great com edy, "The Rivals throughout the principal cities of the east by the All Star Comedy Company of Joseph Jefferson and Nat Goodwin. A day or two previously Billy Young had gone on before to make arrangements and had telegraphed that everything was fixed. All are well known Nogales people, and in Bisbee they have many friends who in advance assured them hearty welcome. The party consists of James B. Mix, Fred Herrera Will Ekey, Marshall Bird, Wm. Young, Eugene Sykes, Harry Lewis, Doctor A. A. Doherty, Misses Ada Ekey, Emma Walker and Annie Hannah, Mrs. A. A. Doherty, F. B. Doyle. The last two named are supposed to have gone along to shift the scenery; the others are the actorines and actorones all stars.
 Owing to the small size of the bag gage car there was quite delay in loading the scenery, and the train was nearly an hour and half late; and as soon as Engineer Mason got "the high sign" from Conductor Woodrum the train fell out out of the station with speed never equalled save when Wolf 'goastedn into the arroyo; and when it passed the town limits it was going so fast that the windage took up the ''limitsn and trailed them along behind until speed was slackened for the stop at Calabasas. It is a swift crowd and was given swift trip to Fairbank.
 At the latter station they changed cars for Bisbee, and when the train from Benson came it brought Mrs. Bird, Mrs. Blacklidge, Miss Ida Temple and Miss Evelyn Cheek, who joined the party. Taken altogether it is very large party of jolly people OH an outing, and all in Nogales have been enyying them and wishing they were along.

TO THE ASYLUM.
Business Reverses the Cause of Noah
 Parks Insanity.

IA farmer named Noah Parks, living on Col. Christy's ranch, northeast of the city, was yesterday examined by Probate Judge Grouse on the charge of insanity.
 MT. Parks has been resident of the valley for eleven years. Several months ago he disposed of his prop erty here and went to California. While there he met with business re- verses, and selling what little prop erty he had left at a sacrifice he re turned to this valley and invested in another ranch, only to find that he had been cheated. He began to brood over his misfortunes to the extent that his mind at times was unbalanced. He frequently complained of pains in his head and during these spells threat ened to commit suicide. To the pro- bate judge and examining physicians he talked rationally of his troubles, but said that when his fits of melan- cholia possessed him he was afraid he would end his troubles by killing himself. The probate judge ordered his commitment to the asylum.

WIND AND WATER.
An Advertisement That Will Benefit
 the Valley.

The September number of Wind and Water" may essentially be called a Salt River valley edition, for its col umns are chiefly devoted to an able and truthful article descriptive of the resources and climatic conditions of this favored section of Arizona. The article begins with brief outline of the irrigation adopted by the prehis- tonic races that once peopled this val ley and the evidence of their handiwork yet remaining in the ruins of ancient temples and traces of canals that cen turies ago carried water to produce nourishment for mankind. Modern ir- rigation began in 1867 with the con- struction of the Salt River Valley canal and since that time the desert has been fast disappearing, and where once the giant cactus stood sentinel over a vast, but desolate country, now are peaceful homes, surrounded by every evidence of the magic power of water
 The article further states the fruits and cereals best adapted for this soil and the maximum cost per acre of clearing land for cultivation The ar ticle is profusely illustrated with en- cravings of canals, orchards and prom inent homes and business houses of this valley and city.
 Wind and Water" has wide circu- lation and is one of the foremost publi- cations devoted toi irrigation in Amer ica- The periodical also contains a very ably written article on Govern ment Reclamation of Arid Lands," by w. o. OfNeill.
