He Wanted the "stuff."

'Pinal county was represented in the last Legislature by one of the Murphy breed of Republicans named Doc. Wright. It,was notorious that Doc. s vote was for sale on any proposition, no matter how questionable, and it is also notorious thatshe accepted bribes. The TRIBUNE makes this statement with the full knowledge ofits respon- sibilitF in suit for criminafslibel,e as weltaa the personal responsibility of tbeaditor, fit De not true. It does not make the charge through any personal feeling either, for it has fully as much respect for Doe. Wright aa it has for the Pjual county voter who was bought to support him or sthe Federal official who paid the money.
 But this Is merely preliminary toa little story told ;by Mark Smith in Tue son the other day. It seems that some honest old farmer in Mesa had been troubled with what he called foul brood" among his bees, and he wanted an inspector appointed whose duty It would be to destroy hives in which the foul brood was found. He according ly went down to Phoenix while the Mule Legislature was in session to see what could be done in the matter. The first,man he met wes Doc. Wright, and he proceeded to state his case to our Pinal county statesman, but was interrupted with the question:
 Have you got any stuff"
 This staggered the;farmer somewhat, but he managed to reply, "Of course not, I didn't think it was necessary, and besides it is such difficult material to handle"
 ssNo trouble at.all-no trouble at all T-leave'it with me-very necessary to have the stuff, the Doctor assured him.
 "AH right, said the farmer, 1T will go back to Mesa and see what can be done.n
 And if ftFaadn't been that some of his neighbors were more accustomed to the ways of this wicked world the good old farmer would have had half the fond broods in the neighborhood laia ca the members desks, as he was under the impression that vas what Doc. Wright wanted-and doubtless 1t spas.

 From the coast papers it is learned that very serious charges have been preferred against Dr. James Me Naughton, formerly of the Tempe normal school, but recently elected principal of the San Jose normal school. As given to the press the charges seem to be the same old straw that was threshed over here two. years ago, when an effort was made to pre- vent the re-appointment of Dr. Me Naughton to the position he afterward creditably filled for couple of years. The charges at that time were thor oughly investigated by the Arizona normal school board and found to be malicious and without any reasonable foundation. Since that time Judge Reed, of the land court, has stated that he was in Council Bluffs at the time the charges were brought there and he states that they are utterly false and should nos be recognized.

An American Railroad n cbiaa.

Moneyed men from the United States have secured franchise for building a railroad from Hong Kong to Han Row. China, distance of nearly 700 miles, While railroads are necessary to. a nations prosperity. health is still more necessary. A sick man can't make money if there are thousands rail- roads. One of the reasons why Ameri- ca is so progressive is the fact that in every drug store is sold Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. that celebrated tonic for the weak, appetizer for the dyspep- tic and sedative for the nervous. It is taken with great success by thousands of men and women who are run down. pale and weak. Itincreases the weight. and the gain is permanent and sub stantial.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For great many years doctors pro- nounced it local disease, and pre- scribed local remedies, and by con stantly failing to cure with local treat ment, pronounced it ineurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitution al disease, and therefore requires con- stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu- tional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucods surfaces of the sys- tenn. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address.

 TheeaAy astronomers of Persia, who were of course unacquainted with the telescope, andare credited with sharp vision and great persistence in the accumulation of astronomical obser- vations, we're greatly facilitated by the purity of of the atmosphere in that part of the globe. The observations made at Mir. Lowell's fine astronomical ob- servatory at Flagstaff, Arizona, have during recent years established the fact that no region of the globe can offer clearer atmosphere for the observation of'the stars than is to be : found in that territrry. An indepen- dert confirmation of this fact is found in an observation noted in the March report of the Arizona section. MT. tt. o. Scott, voluntary observer at Tonto, in Gila county, notes that on the morning of the 7th he observed B star before sunrise, closer to the moon thaa 'sauy have seen in years" nr. W, -E. Dag, voluntary observer at. Prescott, Yavapai county, northwest of Tonte, noted "a star travelling along with the moon all day, plainly visible until-2p. m. of the 9th"
 The bright star seen by these two observers was undoubtedly the planet Venus.
 1t usually requires combination of favorable circumstances to see the brighest star with the baked eye in the day time, but we understand these ob- servers in Arizona detected the planet without any special effort.

1t was one of those large mail boxes
that are put or the street corners to
mail large packages in, and the mail
man was emptying 1t ont to take the
mail to the postoffice when he heard
something moving in among the pack
ages, and it scared him so bad his
whiskers didn't grow any for half an
hour. But after awhile he went at it
again and took the packages out very
carefully one at time. All at once he
touched something warm and jerked
his hand back. Then little yellow
puppy stuck its head out of the open
door in the side of the mail box and
howled, maybe because it was glad to
be found and maybe because he didn' t
want to be bothered. He didn't say.
But that was not the funniest part of
it, for around doggy's neck was tag.
and on the tag were cent postage
stamp and the address of a young lady
in Chicago.
THAT isn't enough postage" said
the mail man as he picked doggy up,
land l guess you ought to go back and
get some more.
But doggy only howled. Over at the
postotfice they did not quite know what
to do with it. They looked in Chi
cago directory, but could not find the
young lady's name n it at all Maybe
they will send postal card to the
young lady and tell her to send some
more postage Maybe they will send the
dog to Chicago and let them try to find
the young lady. Maybe they will send
doggy to the dead letter Office in WASH
ington. But if it is sent there it will be
very lively for a dead letter. And all
this time doggy only laps up milk In
the New York postoffice and never says
