THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
McNaughton's Success of the
 Past Year.

Tucson Star: The Normal school year closed this week with more than usual eclat and under most favorable conditions. The exercises were of a character which would do credit to the most advanced normal schools of any of the states; the essaps and addresses and other papers of the graduating class were of high order and the ad- dress of Dr. McNaughton, the presi- dent of the Normal school, was a gem in thought, advice and instruction, which well portrays the character of the man and establishes the fitness and striking adaptability of this teacher for the important responsibility of his charge, for young ladies and gentle men under his training, influence and teachings, cannot other than drink from fountain of high aspiration and in his presence become better in every way, and well fitted for the sacred du- ties of the teachers profession.
 The people of Arizona have good cause to be grateful for the services of so competent teacher, a man who must exercise so important an influ- ence for good upon the young men and women who are to be trained in this institution, as the present and future instructors of the boys and girls of Arizona. The character, the individu- ality, the inspirations and aspirations of the head of this institution will al- ways make its impress upon every stu dent who comes under its influence.
 Dr. McNaughton and his corps of teachers have given the territory most excellent service during the year just closed, and the people do not only fap- preciate than now, but that apprecia- tion will continue to grow as their good work is made manifest in the fu- ture.

A movement has taken shape in Mil waukee for the establishment and op- eration of a street car system to be owned and operated by the city. The plan in various forms has been tried successfully in many European cities, where in some cases the municipality leases the lines to a corporation for 8 term of years at an annual rental which by the time the lease expires affords a sum sufficient to pay for the entire plant. American cities have tried suc- cessfully municipal ownership of light ing, gas, and water supplies and the municipal railway is but another step in the same direction and one seeming ly rendered imperative by the strikes which are continually occurring to the annoyance and sometimes pecuniary loss of the public.

Further Arrangements for the National

Tucson Star: The committee of ar engagements on the Fourth of July eel ebration met in the district court room last night. It was decided that the celebration should be held at Carillo's There will be sports at the garden con- sisting of foot races, bicycle, egg, po- tato and sack races, the antiquated chase after the oleaginous pig and the ascent of the equally fabricated and ancient pole.
 An interesting feature will be base ball game at the park between The Citizen and Star hines. Musical and literary exercises will be held at the city hall park and in the evening there will be the grandest display of fire works ever seen in Arizona.
 The following committees were ap- pointed: On contributions, Burt Orn- dorff, Eddie Heaton and Tom Hughes. On fire works, Chas. Drake, Jr., c. F. Hoff and c. R. Hale.
 Several merchants and professional gentlemen have signiied a willingness to make liberal contribution in order to insure the greatest success ever at tained by Tucson in the way of pub lie monstration.
 Arrangements have also been made for the election of Queen of the Fourth" who will be the most popular young lady in the city or the young lady with the greatest "pull." Votes will be received at The Star and Citi- zen offices. The election will be closed on June 28.

After meals you should have simply a feeling of comfort and satisfaction. You should not feel any special indi- cations that digestion is going on. If you do, you have indigestion, which means not-digestion. This may be the beginning of so many dangerous dis eases that 1t is best to take it in hand at once and treat 1t with Shaker Di- gestive Cordial. For you know that indigestion makes poison, which causes pain and sickness. And that Shaker Digestive Cordial helps digestion and cures indigestion. Shaker Digestive Cordial does this by providing the di- gestive materials in which the sick stomach is wanting. It also tones up and strengthens the digestive organs and makes them perfectly healthy.

understand that The Gazette is very much in error. The now famous pris- on labor contract executed on Decem- Der 2, 1895, appears nowhere in the official proceedings of the board of control as published in The Gazette. A transaction involving an outlay of at least million dollars is omitted from the proceedings. How many other dark lantern contracts may exist no one knows.
 There is no special howl because the books have been abstracted from the rooms of the board of control There is simply the same feeling respecting the matter that would exist should any other territorial official leave the ter ritory and carry the records with him. He would be guilty of an offense that would not only subject him to censure, but to criminal proceedings as we'll.
 Supposing McCord should decide to not return at all? Would the territory go on forever using The Gazette files for records, as suggested by that pa per? And as McCord is away without leave there is no telling when he will return, neither is there any reason to suppose that the books will turn up when he does return Like the prison contract there may be other contracts that the late board of control prefers should never be made public, therefore the missing books.

 The truth of the transaction where by The Advertiser ended it's career was succinctly stated in The Sun of last week-in terms, too, quite plain enough to guide the mind of our neighbor across the way, had he any desire to be directed alright. The Advertiser

Gazette: There is little occasion of such howl about the books of the board of control as is made by one who wishes to place his thumb marks on them, as the record of that body from it's first inception to within the past few weeks can be found in The Gazette where it was published officially. This record is thus easily attainable by a reference to the files of this paper territorial library.

REPORTING THE CONVENTION.

l10 CO4N A>A> AOA''
 From now until the adjournment of the St. Louis convention the newspaper correspondents now in that city and telegraph operators, not only of that city, but of every city, will have enough work to keep them busy and out of mischief. Those who will read the daily reports-in fact, those who are now reading the stories sent out from St. Louis-have no clear idea of the toil and drudgery that has to be en- dured in order to let the world know what is being done.
 Seats have been prepared for AIS correspondents on the floor of the con- vention hall What these men will have to do for perhaps four days, in cluding the preliminary material writ ten, will be something astounding. euppostng, for instance, that each man writes three thousand words day for four days. That would make 12,OOO words for each one of them, or total Of 5.01e.000 words.
 These figures give some idea of what the busy correspondents have already set in to do. But the work of the plod- ding telegraph operators must also be taken into consideration. They will sit hour after hour at their instruments, ticking of, word by word, the writings of the correspondents, many of whom will turn out ''eopy" in a handwriting almost as perplexing to the telegraph operators as Chinese puzzle. Yet these operators will keep on pounding, with the result that the number of mis- takes made in translating the scrib- blings of the writers will be compara- lively few.
 Readers of the daily papers should pause for moment or two and reflect upon the amount of hard work that skilled fingers and busy brains are do- ing for their benefit. newspaper that can be bought for two cents will contain work which has cost several thousands of dollars The papers and not the workers, will reap the credit and the praise for the work of the cor respondents and the telegraph opera tors. But that is always the case, and the workers do not complain
 In addition, hundreds of bright and well trained men, in the distant news paper offices will handle the copy as it comes pouring in from St. Louis. The work of itself is no small task. It means a subdivision of the material, a careful editing to detect errors and omissions incident to transmission, and the writing of headlines Then the printers and the proofreaders do their part. The reporting of National con- vention. therefore, means much of ac- fivity for many folk-the correspond ents. the telegraph operators, the edi- tors. the printers, the proofreaders, the Aewsdealers, and last, but not least, the telegraph messenger boys. This great work will be done in cities and towns everywhere, and it must all be done within 9 few hours each day. The task is so sub-divided, however, that only a little extra pressure upon the part of the individuals is necessary The work of getting news and printing 1t has been reduced to a science. Yet, all the same it is worth while calling attention just now to the amount of work involved in reporting conven- tion.

The reason the silver in a dollar is only worth 55 cents now is because the hints are closed to silver. Open the hints to silver again and it will return to it's old price. Close the hints to gold and the gold in a gold dollar wouldn't be worth more than 50 cents perhaps, certainly not a dollar.

 ''The awards granted at the Worlds Columbian Exposition, compared to the number of exhibitors, present the smallest number ever granted on the occasion of Worlds Fair. This re- suit distinctly shows that unusual care and precaution were taken by the ex- pert judges, who, because of the rule requiring them to declare over their own signatures the reasons for their judgment, fully realized the great re- sponsibility thrown upon them. The exhibitor, therefore, may be assured that his award will have a value such as the award granted at previous Ex- positions never gave" This state ment, from the official circular of the Worlds Columbian Commission, as ap- piled to Ayers Sarsaparilla, the only medicine of the kind admitted at the Worlds Fair, and which also received the highest possible awards, must con vince the most sceptical mind that this well-known blood-purifier stands far in advance of all other similar preparations in existence.
