Commencement at Collyer.


The second annual common school
commencement at Collyer was held as
announced on June 18th. The Con-
gregational church had been selected
as the best available place and deco
rated with them-the emblems of the
three classes taking part-red for the
juniors. white for the graduates and
blue for the post graduates, class of
90. The union of the three being the
flag of our country, and typical of
that upon which our country must
one day rely.
Long before the beginning of the
program an eXpectant house was
crowded, but if they had to wait they
can truly say that our class did not
diSappoint them in the end, and we
feel that they were well paid for the
waiting, besides they had ample time
arranged motto and floral decorations
which the class and good people OF
Collyer had so willingly helped Us to
arrange. Our only regret was that a
few were compelled to return to Wa
Keeney on the train and so missed
much OF our best work, but the delay
could not be helped, and no other
hitch occurred to mar our evenings
pleasure.
With many thanks to all that help
ed. and good wishes for the future OF
the class of 81, L am ever yours,
HI. HARLAN.

HIDES AND HON rSss,

 It is now asserted that Texas fever ticks are distributed by jack rabbits. A rabbit prof fence along the quaran- tine line seems necessity.
 Henry Miller, Of Miller tS hux, is reported to have commenced suit to test the authority of the California veterinary inspector to kill diseased cattle.
 A number of grass fed steers in MeEard county, Texas, sold for s37 50 head recently. This sale goes to show how the Texas stockmen have improved their herds.
 The owner of that wonderfully polific COW of Navajo county, as ac- count of which lately went the rounds of the territorial press, has been in- dicted by the grand jury of that coun- ty.
 Graham Bulletin: Joe Scott. the democratic war horse of Pima county, was in Solomonyille this week on busi- ness before the court connected with the receivership of the Hierst, Black, Kehlne and Wiley cattle.
 Phoenix Herald; Goldman & Co.,, re- ceiyed five carloads of cattle on the wrecked train last night from the northern portion of the territory. The cattle were in good shape and had not even been shaken up.
 The Tucson Citizen of Friday of last week says: II. Menager and Sabi- no Otero left early this morning for Tubac, to deliver large herd of cat tie which have been sold to Miller & Lux of Bakersfield Cal. These cat tie will be shipped to California in a few days.
 The price of fat cattle is still ad- vancing in Salt River valley. E. A. Packard, of Bisbee, last week refused an offer of sS.25 per cwt. for lot of cattle of only fair quality which he has on pasture near Phoenix. A still further advance is probable.
 Mir. N. Van Valer, who recently vent to Fort Huachuca to manage Mir. Wm. Garyey's beef contract there, returned Wennesday morning to Fort Grant and MT. Garyey will himself superlntend the filling of the Haul chuca contract. MT. Van Valer will, it is stated, resume his former posi- tiou as post butcher at Grant.
 Messrs. L. O'Keeffe and Jacob Shearer were in from the Chlricahuas Thursday says the Wilcox Stockman, and learns that several head of Mir. Shearer's cattle have been slaughter ed in Bisbee for which he has re- ceiyed no compensation, and lately part of the inspectors records at Bis bee have been stolen. The matter should be investigated.
 JOuh Ria]f Ji.i III Cou ufciodliph Niti representative of the Denver Live Stock Record, expressed the belief that beef cattle next spring will be able to hold their own and the big run will commence soon after the new year. In speaking of range stock he said that, iu his opinion, the big run will be over by the middle of Nov ember and prices on feeders although nigh enough will be maintained.
 There is no one who does not ap- preciate the elegant Mexican drawn linen, consisting of ladies' handker- chiefs, mats, table covers and doy- leys, for sale at the store of the Suno "a News Co Also Mexican curious

huahua, are in El Paso and have rooms at the Llndell. Captain Hunt recently sold 10000 head of cattle from the Terrazas ranche in Mexico, and is now busily engaged in shipping the boyines to different points in the United States. Two train loads, com prising about l ,000 head arrived today from the south.
 Stockman: The man who owns that remarkable COW, mention of which was made in the Holbrook Argus few weeks ago, was indicted on two counts by the late grand jury. The COW dropped too many calves, and she was not particularly as to their ages. Some were two and three-year olds. From the number returned to the as- sessor and the number of beef cattle sold this spring and summer, she must have dropped on an average of one calf a day. The grand jury thought this not unnatural but inn possible, hence the indictments.
 Phoenix Herald: The value of the cattle now being fed between this city and Tempe is estimated between s3GO,OO0 and s4OO,OOO. With cattle bringing s25 to s35 per head, as against less than half that two years ago; wool selling at l3 and IA cents as against six and seven cents year and a half ago; largely increased em- ployment of labor and our mines giy- ing assurance of the largest output known in the history of the territory, Arizona certainly seems to be enjoy ing her share of the general prosperity ushered in by the republican admin istration.
 Globe Belt James E. Sturgeon ar rived from Tempe last Friday to re- ceive the first delivery of the R. s. bar brand tSidow's) cattle and the Hayes & Gibson cattle; also the Shute and Baker cattle, Upper Salt river Mir. Sturgeon while here bought the Shanley steers for delivery next spring, and also contracted with II. Zschoegner & Co.,, for TOO or 800 head. MT. Sturgeon returned home by way of Salt river, Tonto and Reno and ex- pected to buy everything with hide and horns on 1t, that he found for sale. He is in the market for several thousand head and is paying the highest prices for beef cattle, viz, sl4, SIT, and s20 for ones, twos and threes, respectfully. MT. Sturgeon is one of the heavy buyers of southern Arizona, and for some time past has been ship ping five to six carloads of beef cattle every week from Tempe.
 The three-year-old boy of J. A. Johnson, of Lynn Center, H., is sub- ject to attacks of croup. Mir. John son says that he is satisfied that the timely use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, during asevere attack, saved his little boys life. He is in the drug business, member of the firm of Johnson Bros. of that place; and they handle great many patent medicines for throat and lung diseases. He had all these to chose from, and skilled physicians ready to respond to his call, but selected this remedy for use in his family at time when his child's life was in danger, because he knew it to be superior to any other. and famous the country over for it's cures of croup. MT. Johnson says this is the best selling cough medicine they handle, and that it gives splen- did satisfaction in all cases. Sold by Chenoweth & Mix.

of the East have become as bold as Or

property of a steamship which is coal

man apprOpriates bushel to keep a

called stealing and she is given thirty

high sounding term of "conascatiOn"
and Is justified. But in one sense the
Of this term is proper. The
dictionary defines 'cOnhscatiOn" as
taking by sovereign power, not by an

land of Fourth of July freedom.

THE Klngman Courier blows its nose
hard and tries to make it out terrible
thing that according to its count only
thirty-one acts of the last legislature
were such as might be construed as
general in character. Now we would
like to ask the Courier, respectfully, TO
tell how many bills such as might be
construed as general in character
were passed by the republican legisla-
ture Of 1895, or if it protests that the
ropuliSts then had the senate and that
it was not typical republican legisla-
ture, we will let him report how many
such bills were passed by the lower
house, which was republican, We can
remember two, One was against gam
bling in general and the other let the
gamblers bet on horse races one week
10 the year This however is in strict
consistency with the republican papers
who first abuse the legislature for pass
ing the school book law, the stock yards
law and the others and then abuse
them for not doing more. And so it is
the more we do the more they abuse

INDICATIONS at present lead to the
opinion that wheat will not go above
forty cents in price and may quite
likely 90 below that. Still the republic
can papers continue to howl about
wheat going up and silver going down.
The silver men have only urged that
the yearly averages in the prices Of
wheat and silver will run approx.
mately close together. OF course

Republicans with their usual super
human tact for mlscOnstruing and mis-
representing, are attacking Judge
Doster for cOncurring with the other
judges i'll declaring the omnibus repeal
bill passed last winter uncOnstitu.
tional, and claiming he has reversed
himself in the space of few weeks
since he wrote the opinion in the
bribery investigation case, and took
such strong grounds against the
usurpatiOns of courts. TIE fact is
Judge DOster has done nothing of the
kind. He has not cOntradicted him
self. He only affirmed that in the
general theory of our government,
courts were not intended to have any
such extravaganza powers as they
have assumed and made into law, and
inveighed against any further snch
assumption. In commencing he said,
ut is now too late for any effective
purpose to deny the right of the court
to sit in judgment upon the acts of the
legislature. Accumulated precedent
has established such right beyond a
question OfOne or even many judges. "
Further on he said, $50 far as | an.
concerned | shall refuse to juin in anv
assumption Of constitutional jurisdic-
ton beyond those boundaries which
are already defined and defended by
impregnable walls of precedent and
yielded over as undisputed ground. "
In the investigation case he did not |
consider that the court in declaring
the committee to have no powers such |
as claimed, wOTld be defended by any
such ''lmpregnable walls of prece-
dent" In the last case be thought it
would be, That is all there is to this
great confusion of tongues among re-
Dnblieans on the question. Probably

louncing Judge Doster as reversing
himself never read his opinion, but

England has invested herself until

THE republican papers are trying to
make point by claiming that the re-
cent strikes are for higher wages. 1t
is so stated, in fact, in the big coal
miners strike but that is about the
only one. we have read of where it was
not against lower wages. And in this
instance it was because they we're be.
ing paid lower wages than is on record
anywhere or any time before.
