THE TIPPING QUESTION:.

How 1t Is Practiced at Home and Abroad
and the Need For n Reform.
The question Of tipping seems
small enough in detail, but rather i'm
portant when exaggerated.
A woman who spent last winter in
one of tho most sumptuous of New York
hotels says she invariably gave a quar-
ter to her waiter at breakfast and lunch
con, those being meals taken alone. At
dinner time she was joined by her hus-
band, who always handed the servitor
so cents.
The latter sum seemed to evenly fill
the mans idea Of what was due him,
and his ''Thank you, sirl' was bland
and gracious. but the lady's modest
quarters always found their grave in
the black waistcoat pocket, with no ex-
preston of gratitude from the recipi-
ent's face, which wore "A meaning look,

Wool and Sheep.
l W inslow Mail l

]
 Messrs Tuning & Morgan, of Show Low, sold 16.000 head of mutton sheep to A. J. Knolin, of the firm of Knolin & Booth, at PhoenIx last week. Colln Campbell, of the firm of Hart & Camp bell, of this place, sold 2,200 head to the same party. They were all shipped east.
 Twenty cars of mutton sheep were unloaded and fed at this place Tuesday last. The two man who had charge of the sheep were not on to their job. They at first refused to assist iD the unloading and wanted the yard switch man to do 1t for them, but the boys we've not tenderfeet, and they finally had to do the work themselves, but de- tanned the train four or five hours by their obstinacy.
 Wool has been sold here during the week at the unprecedented price of 10 cents per pound; but, of course. the condition of the wool must be consid- cred, and it is generally conceded that never before, or at least not in many years, have the f1eeces been in so light and clean condition.

BRAND RECORDING
or Interest and Importance to Every Cat
 tleInaR in Arizona


 It is of the grea est importance to the cattle men of Arizona that they should know Of the provisions of the late law with refernce to brand recording, and after knowing the provisions proceed without unnecessary delay to comply with the law
 The new law make it compulsory that all brands be recorded in the office of the Live Stock Sanitary Board instead of with thecounty re- corders of the several counties, which county record books have leea done away with in so far as they constitute public record. Those who had their brands on county record will request the co1ary recorder ther in person or by letter. to make oat a certificate of such brands on blanks furnished the recorders. For this they pay fee Of p cents to he recorder. The certificate is signed 5y the owner of the brand, or his agent, as the case may be, after which it is sent to the office of the secretary of She sanitary board at rhenix IL should be un derstood in this connection that nobrand or mark shall be changed after the certificate has been signed by the Recorder and his seal affixed Such changes cau be made, but on another blank which will be furnished by the secretary on re- quest,
 All brands Wb-ch have never been recorded heretofore will hsva to gcson public record un- | blanks will be fr -a.shed by the secretary This refers to horses C well 4s cattle; if you have ten different brands on you- ranch ou should have them recorded if you q sire to be secured in the use of the brand Itis an errone pus idea that only the brand kept up need be be placed on record
 Ifyou have other brands, and which from your failing to record, do not appear on such record | as taken by anyone, be s4ue will be allowed to 1 the first applicGnt who may apply for such l brand, in which case i, might work to Ihe seri- | ous disadvantagc of t-e first or original owner Of cattle in such brand
 It is intended to b. and certainly will be an advantage to every cattleman in Arizona, and to that end all are urged, to take advantage of the | provisions at the earliest possible moment.
 Remember, brands do nos have to be burnt on leather as of old A simple f iny cut of blank | will be all that ], require i, which blank the county recorder will furnish f your brand has | been recorded. If 1t has not been on record re- quest blank from the secretary st Phenix.
 In all cases of brands which have been on county record, fee of 9 cents is paid to the re- corder of the county In all other cases the fee is $1 for each and every brand, payable by check l or money order to the sanitary board, and must l accompany the application. This covers the cost of recording and certihcateunder the seal of the board
 The reader will confer favor both on his fel- bowman and the sanitary board by making this as widely known as possible The better plan perhaps would be to clip shs out and carry it in your pocket, where it can be easily referred to.

Notices which the supervisors have had placed upon the Holbrook bridge have been the occasion ofsome concern to certain of the public. It was not in. tended that those notices be interpret ed as 8 prohibition against travelling over the bridge but merely to inform those who cross over sad structure that the county valves all recourse for damages which may arise through the unsafe condition of said bridge.-Argus.

Iers, but now that values are more nearly what they ought to.be. it be- hooves all to have a watch flor their stock, as the loss of an equal number of cattle means more dollars than it did several years since, when all had the blues.

Advertise Your Brands.

A stock exchange give the following words of advice to stockman:
 1t may really be termed piece of ex- travagant economy for any cattleman to not have his brands advertised these days. A few years ago we did not in sist on this very strongly, for the rea- son that prices were low, and a man did not lose much if he lost his entire herd at the hands of thieves and rust

The St. John Herald is publishing in full the new live stock law, which is a good idea, as,it circulates ID a section of country where the live stock indus try is an important one. This journal was the first to publish it, and thus far, the only journal which was publis- he'd the complete law. The News, of Wilcox, is publishing it, which with the paper above named, are the only ones to follow our example. It means much to the people ofevery county in the territory. and the papers should give it more notice than they do, in the interest of their readers.-Southwest- ern Stockman.

SPLITTING LEGAL HAIRS.
Tale by a Philadelphia Lawyer
 a Puzzle to Decide.
IPhiladelnhia Record.l

Philadelphia Record
 This IS an after dinner story told by d well known lawyer the other evening, illustrative of legal difficulties that may arise even in the carrying out of the most amicable contracts:
 There were once four brothers, who had inherited storage warehouse from their father and who equally divided the property among them, Among the appu.tcnances thereto was cat, fine animal. excellent for housing, and this. too, was divided, the elder brother own- ing the right front quarter, the second brother the left front quarter and the younger brothers the two hind quarters. Now, unfortunately, the eat in one of it's nocturnal prowis injured the right front paw, and the elder brother attend ed to that portion of his property ny binding the injured member with a greased rag. The cat, thankful for this relief to it's suffering, went to sleep contentedly before the fire, but in the midst of it's slunbers falling coal ig- nIted the rag, and the animal. bowling with agony, dashed through the ware house, and. coming in contact wrth some combustibles, set the building on fire.
 When the loss came to be figured out, the three younger brother wished to throw it all upon the elder. upon the ground that had he not tied up his part of the cat with the inffammable rag the building would not have been destroy ed. He. on the contrary, contended that had the cat only been possessed of the front right paw-his property-it would have stood still and burned to death. It was the three other paw that caused the damage. The brothers ar- gued the case until they died, but could never reach an agreement.

When a person begins to grow thin there is something wrong. The waste IS greater than the supply and it ia only a question of time when the end must come.
 In nine cases out of ten the trouble IS with the digestive organs. Ifyou can re- store them to healthy condition you will stop the waste. put on new flesh and cause them to feel better in every way. The food they eat will be digested and appropriated to the needs of the system, and a normal appetite will ap- pear:
 Consumption freueqntIy follows a wasting of bodily tissue because nearly all consumptives have indigestion. The Shaker Digestive Cordial will restore the stomach to healthe condition in a vast majority ofcases. Get one oftheir books from your druggist and learn about this new and valuable remedy.

Brown and Gustav Becker, members of the Board of Supervisors of this county during the years 1S95-6. The cause of action is on account of the above named members of the board, while acting in their capacity as such, voted to allow Treasurer Potter ? per cent. on all taxes collected by him. as a compen sation. The amount demanded was Sl, ,2S4.92, with 20 per cent additional, as a penalty. w. H.

SWITCH ENGINE CUT IN TWO
BAD SMASH-UP NEAR THE
UNION DEPOT.
Cache Valley Express and South
ern Pacific Engine Reached the
Junction at the Same Time.

There was a smash-up yesterday
morning at the crossing of the South
ern Pacific and Short Line track just
west of the Ogden Union depot. The
glory of Southern Pacific engine 1887
has departed and likewise the smoke
stack of the Short Line engine, which
was the other one in the case.
It happened a little after o'clock
a. m, just as the Short Line train for
Cache Valley was pulling into the Og-
den yards from Salt Lake. No. 1887
was the day switch engine and was
going from south to north along the
tracks. The engineer saw the danger
too late and the passenger train went
full tilt into the switch engine, strik-
ing it at right angles. The switch en-
CINE was practically cut in two, the
tender being separated from the boiler.
Byton Pace, who was fireman of the
yard engine, was on the foot board.
He suffered a diSlocated elbow and was
pretty much shaken up. DR.. Perkins
says he is not seriously hurt, but he
will be in the hospital some days yet.
The fireman and a boy of Engineer
Brown were eXtricated from what used
to be 1887. Neither was seriously in
jured. Engineer Brown and the Short
Line crew also escaped unhurt, though
all were more or less shaken up. Sew
eral passengers on the Cache Valley re
ceived severe joltings and some bruises
from the collision. The train did not
90 on north till about noon, and was
about two hours late in returning last
night.
Engine 1897, though headed south,
was found after the smoke cleared
away, clean off her rails and headed
east.
The passenger engine suffered the
loss of a smoke stack, but strange to
say, her headlight was not injured.
Opinions differ as to the cause of
the accident. Southern Pacific men are
inclined TO blame the Short Line, say
ing that the passenger should have
slowed up at the yards
Short Line men are inclined to blame
the switch engines crew for not Civ
ing the main line train the road
Engineer Woodland was on the Short
Line engine.
