AN UNSATISFACTORY JOB.

Copies of the session laws of the Eff teenth and Sixteenth legislatures had become very scarce, the original edi- tions having ;been exhausted. The Nineteenth legislature, in response to the demand, passed an act (No. 50) pro- yiding for the printing of all the session laws of this territory since the Four teenth. and appropriated 5000 to pay for the job. The plan contemplated the printing of the acts of the several legislatures in one volume.
 The work has just heen completed, and copy of the book now lies on our table. The mechanical part of the work has been pretty we'll done. It is printed on fairly good paper; the com position and press work are good, and the binding would pass with 6 slight squeeze.
 We now come to the work of the m an who prepared the text for the printer. He has not done his work at all. The volume is simply & reprint of the ses- sion laws as they were passed, with no attempt at any annotation of subse- quent repeals and amendments what ever. When the session laws of the Fifteenth legislature, for ins tanoe. were enacted and prin ted. they were part of the statute law of this territory at that date, but they have been amended by succeeding legislatures until compara- lively little of the original acts of the Fifteenth are now in force. All the acts of the subsequent legislatures are more or less in tue same condition. While all these acts have been printed ia the new book, and all the legislation on any subject Is there in full, yet un account of the abs nce of any system- atic reference to amendments, the work is robbed of half it's practical value. Let us give but one instance:

 Judge Bradley based his decision on two points-frst, that the witness had not been le- gally summoned. and second. that the questions asked him were not pertinent The contention of the de fense that communications to newspa- per men are privileged as class the same as communications to priests. lawyers and physi- clans. the court refused to ustain. but, as the court did on the other hand, hold that to ask the witness the name of his informant was not pertinent question, lhe counsel for the def'nse now hold that the precedent is established which virtually brings newspaper witnesses within the privileged class.

ssSTOP MY PAPER.U

Brother Reppy, of the Florence Fri. bune, makes vigorous and timely kick on account of newspaper borrow CTS. We have had subscribers who did not like us personally, who extended the antipithy to the paper we printed. These individuals peremptorily y ordered the paper stopped" but little mat ter like that in no wise prevented them from as regularly reading the HERALD as those who were regular and paying subscribers. The following is what the Tribune has to say of this class:
 We have been requested to notify certain people tn this town who every week persist in borrowing the Tribune from their neighbors tha they are looked on with contempt for their meanDess Ii they don't care to subscribe for the paper, at least let them have the decency to refrain from borrowing it.

CONSCIENCE FUND.
The Identity of Atoning Evil
 DOerS is Usually Concealed.

"The people seuding money to the Conscience Fund of the United States Treasury are not known.' writes Cliff ford Howard in the June Ladies' Home Journal. "They never present them selves at the Treasury, and they take care to conceal thetr identity by mak- ing their contributions anonymously or under assumed names. In great many instances the contribution IS made through 8 minister or priest. which is done, perhaps. for the effect of not only more surely hiding the identity of the penitent, but of adding sanctity to his contribution. Others sgsin make their peace offerings through friends or relatives. and even jailers sometimes perform this duty for remorseful criminals. As further precaution again st discovery many of these people endeavor to disguise their handwriting. or they have their com munications written on the typewriter while not few forward their money without line or word of writing. It is always taken for granted that such remittances are intended for the Con science Fund, as It is reasonable to pre- sume that no one would send money in that loose fashon unless it were for the purpose of expIating some secret crime against the government.
 Occasionally some one will remit by check or money-order, in which case, of course, his name becomes known; and once in great while some man will have the courage to deliberately confess his guilt, and sign his name to the communication, but such instances are rare, for there appears to be gene- raI fear among these contrite people that. although they clear their con- sciences by making reparation to the government, the law may still have the right to lay hold of them for their

HUMOROUS MATTER.
One Has to Get What is Wanted
 In This Line.
Press and Printer. |

Press and Printer.I The young man entered the profes- sor's study in businesslike way that seemed to indicate that he was on no idle errand.
 ''I b lieve, sir" he said. "that you are noted as 8 philolOgist, and have written good deal upon the subject of words and their derivations."
 II have given quite little attention to that subject" returned the profes- sor, looking at the young man over the tops of his glasses. "and l should be glad to enlighten you Tn any way that l oan upon any little point that may puzzle you when I have leisure, but just now am extremely busy and 1 trust you will pardon me if Ter"
 "Oh, m not going to throw any ques- tions of that sort at you," interrupted the young man in an easy, of hand manner. II simply want you to write sn article for me-"
 "Write an article for you!" exclaim- ed the professor.
 That's what I said. I'm the editor of a paper, and want an article from your pen"
 The professor was still further mysti- fled, but ne managed to suggest that he considered his time pretty valuable.
 "Oh, that's all right" returned the young man. "I'll pay you your price if you will get me up good article on Slang"
 "SIang!"repeated the professor.
 "Sure thing!" asserted the young man. "I want an article on the Geriva- ton and meaning of various slang words and phrases"
 CA most interesting subject" sad the professor, rehectively, "and fortun- ately I have given it considerable thought during my researches"
 ''Ot course you have." exclaimed the young man triumphantly. "All you old geezers do."
 "I beg your pardnn?" said the pro- lessor lnqplrlngiy.
 "Oh, that just slipped out; let it go," exclaimed the young man. "Yon see l am just starting a new humorous week ly paper, and r."
 "Humorous?"
 Certainly. You don't take me for a scien tist, do vou?"
 ''But couldn't treat the subject of slang humorously if 1 tried" protested the professor.
 "Of course not," admitted the young man promptly. But you can't help treating it humorously if you don't try. I'm judge os humor. and l tell you there is nothing funnier in this world than a serious dissertation on slang by a learned man. Yon go at it in just as solemn way as you can and I'll pay you almost any price for It. I mean that my first number shall be scrsecher."

Awful Result of Anger.
lCincinnati Enquirer.l


 "Always control your temper, young man," the Colonel admonished the youth, kindly. "I know what I am talking about. Never shall I forget the crime yes, the cr:me-I commit ted years ago under the excitement of anger"
 "I suppose you would rather not tell me the partlculars?" said the young man.
 "I would rather not mention it, but it is my duty to relate the affair as 8 warning. One day dear friend and were out fishing, twenty-five miles from civilization. He made some remark that aroused my temper, which in those days was as hasty as yours is now. In the blindness of my rage l seized the first missile at hand and cast It at him. It struck against tree and was smash ed to bits. Young man," the Colonel continued, after pause, "the object had flung at my friend was the only bottle of whisky in the camp. It gives me shuddering thirst even now to think of that awful affair.""

The True Remedy.

W. NJ. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, Ill.,. "Chief," says: "We won't keep house without Dr. Kings New Discouery for Consum ption, Coughs and Colds. Ex- perlmented with many others, but never got the true remedy until We used Dr. Kings New Discovery. No other remedy can take it's place in our home, as in it we have certain and sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc" 1t is idle to experiment with other remedies, even if they are urged on you as just as good as pr. King s New Discovery. They are not as goo d becouse this remedy has a record ot cures and besides is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy Trial bottle free at St Johns Drug Co.'S Drug Store.

The bulletins of the Arizona Experi- mentz are constantly becoming more valuable, as they are improving Tn quality with each issue. The one re- gently issued upon weeds by Professor Touney is embelished with a member of excellent drawings by the au' hor. The last bulletin upon the Sugar Beet is probably of more practical value than any bulletin yet issued by that station.
