nance just amended by the council

page of this issue This ordinance will
do away with all women and girls en-
ployed in and about the saloons. Here
tOfore il has been impossible to regu-
late this matter on account OF the inn
perfect wording of the law, but it is
now believed that the city marshal can
enforce it. 1t will take effect in ten
days.-TucsOn Star.

fering for some time from indamml-
tory rheumatism, has SO far recovered

ailment was SO severe as to prevent her
completing her engagement with the
trustees as teacher in the public school
at this place, and it is earnestly hoped
she may soon be restored to her usual
good health.-Bisbee Orb

ways, and the citizens of Jerome will
again undoubtedly lend substantial
help. There is nothing that tends to
give the outside world a good opinion
of city more than good schools and
churches.-Jerome Mining News.
