IceIanders Like Snuff.

In Iceland the natives are very fond of snuff. It is made into bars after the manner of plug tobacco and sold in that shape. The Icelander allows the nail of his right thumb to grow long, and when he wants to use snuff he scratches it off the bar with the nail onto the back of his left hand and then applies it to his nose.
Arizona republican., 1896-09-09


 sisted that large majority of the Re publicans of Pinal county favored the free, unlimited and independent coin age of silver, and the result of Sat urday's primaries proved it. The Mc- Kinley gold standard men were de feated in every precinct in the county. The victory was all the more pro nounced at Casa Grande and Arizola, for whose benefit the unfair appor- tionment was fixed, as it was believed the gold standard people were in a ma- jority in those precincts. The Tribune congratulates the true-blue silver Re publicans of Pinal for having removed a stain from the fair name of our county.
 Williams News: Whatever may be the result of the election Bryan is sure ly meeting with enthusiastic greetings wherever he goes Straws sometimes show which way the wind blows, but the American voter is tickle and elusive piece of political machinery. It's anybody's fight.
 Holbrook Argus: J. H. McCintock city editor of The Arizona Republican, came in from the east and stopped over one day in Holbrook, visiting among old acquaintances and incl dentally swelling The Republicans s subscription list.
 Williams News: Somebody has made the awful threat to start an opposition paper in Williams. Competition is the life of trade. Trot out the new paper
 iWinslow Mail: The county was knocked topsy-turvey by the denome- tization of silver. Tt would not only survive, but regain its former pros perity by its ramonetizaticn.
 Williams News: Some hot mum Der delegates have been selected by their counties to attend tine territorial con- we hope for a warm, yet harmonious time.
 Winslow Mail: Hon Will c. Barnes was in Winslow last Tuesday It is supposed that he was repairing his political fences, as he desires to repre- sent this county in the lower house of our next legislature.
 Tucson Star: With silver remone- tized Arizona will throb with re- newed vigor and vitality, such as has never been experienced in this terri tory, for with our silver industry in full vigor, our copper industry will treble and gold production will keep on apace. There will be a greatly in creased demand for miners, and tlis will increase wages, and all kinds of breadstuff will realize an increased de- mand, and the result will be that new life will be instilled into every indus try and business will feel the thrill of a vigorous life, which will sustain a vigorous, permanent prosperity. Nogales Oasis: His many friends in Pima county are taking steps to pre- sent Mir Charles Bowman of Tucson, | for the Republican nomination for dis trict attorney Mir. Bowman is widely and favorably known as a gentleman of eminent legal attainments, and would give most complete satisfaction in discharge of the duties of the office He is very popular and would surely be elected. The Oasis wishes him every success.
 Nogales Oasis: The El Paso Tribune is displeased because Americans helped out against the recent Yaq11i insurrec- ton at Nogales. Had The Tribune man been at Nogales when the Yaquis were here its sapient editor would have doubtless hid under the bed.
