A New Use for Goats.
From the Los Angeles Times.l

!
 The injection of various substances in the human body for the cure of disease has had great vogue during the past few years. For long time 1t was only used for smallpox, but since then it has been introduced for half a dozen other forms of disease, with varying success, which, on the whole, it must be confessed has not i been very glittering. One of the latest and most remarkable of these inocula- tion theories is that described in a recent dispatch from Chicago to The Times, which tells how couple of physicians in that city claim to have discovered d method of circumventing old age, which they propose to do by injecting into the more or less patient person who is to be experimented upon the lymphatic fluid of young goats. It is claimed that secret tests of this process, made during the past year, have been remarkably successful-but, then, similar claims are usually made for such discoveries as these, and it would be well for our gray-headed readers to restrain their antieipations of being able to garnbol around like kids until further investigations have been made.
 In any case, however, this peculiar suggestion opens up an interesting field of though, It will at once be remarked by many that it might be more desirable to extract from the average elderly American the goat like properties already existing within him, than to add thereto. Then, again, the question of varieties of the goat family will occur to those who take an interest in stock kbreeding.
 For instance, we presume that the injection of lymph from an Angora goat would tend to produce 'tlong- haired" qualities in the human sub iect, while, on the other hand, if operated upon from the ordinary goat of commerce, which is supposed to subsist chiefly on tomato cans and newspaper scraps, the result would be cast of character which is common on the race track and the price ring. It may even be found necessary for State Legislatures to pass laws con trolling and restricting the inocula- ton of elderly citizens with sub stance that is likely to increase their goatiness and giddiness. The subject is one that would have been peculiar ly appropriate consideration by the late unlamented Legislature of Califor- mia, which added so many unique and peculiar laws to the statute book.

Memorial Day was not as religiously observed in Tucson as upon former oc- casious. The G. A. R., true to their colors, were at the cemetery bright and early, as also were a number of ladies of the city, who went thither to pay respects to the departed dead. The small contingent of Rough Riders who are in Tucson, together with the Ter ritorial Militia, were also out A lack of flowers was noticeable feature of the day. Other than the day presented something akin to a Sabbath, the stores being closed in the afternoon, no one would judge that Tucson was unison with lhe puisations of a great and patriotic nation while she did honor to the memory of departed heroes.-[Citizen.

pecoratIon pay ia FIorenee.

Most sincerely and heartily the TRIBUNE eongratulates the citizens oi Florence upon their observance ot Memorial Day. The suggestion to assemble together aud pay proper re. spect to our dead was responded to most heartily. Not only was liberal and fitting celebration given, but the right spirit for the day was present. There was much friendly feeling and serious thought evidently with the throng which gathered on the plaza at 3 o'clock p. m. last Tuesday. A process sion of over twenty-five carriages was formed, the Lodge of Workmen and the band walking in the van. Every vehicle was carrying flowers, and these were left to tell the loving story, on the silent mounds in the three cemeteries. The funeral ritual of the Workmen's s Lodge was read ut their burying place by A. T. Cotton. The hymn, Rock of Ages" was then sung, and this was followed by short but most eloquent
 address from Dr. Broadway. From there to the adjoining Gods Acre"
 was but a short distance, where after decorating the graves, Judge Doan gave a very impressive talk, followed by singing and an air by the band Out the dusty road to the old cemetery beyond the canal then drove the long line of eouveyanees, still carrying flowers to lay above the quiet sleepers
 there. The sun was setting when all returned to town, but the lambent golden glow in the yves tern sky and the soft breeze was as benediction to those who had dropped the cares Of life long enough to pay this beautiful tribute of love to those gone on before.

The people who find the most fault with a local paper are those who borrow it every day to read it, and never contribute one red cent to it S support. Their inconsistency consists in the fact that they are eager to borrow the paper from those who pay for it, and at the same time denounce it is worthless.-[ -[Courier.

Mir. Hockett, the proprietor of the Globe and Florence Stage line, gives the TRIBUNE the particulars of the hold-up of the stage last Monday even- ing in Cain Spring canyon, about four miles from Riverside. There were three passengers on the stage, from whom S470, two watches and two re- volvers were taken. It seems quite certain that one of the robbers was. a woman, wearing mems clothing. Henry Bacon was driving at the time of the robbery. Sheriff Truman, on returning to Florence from Phoenix Tuesday, left at once for Riverside, and has gone on to Globe hoping to catch the bandits.

Mir. J.

Mr. Campbell is a pleasing speaker, but the scanty and unlucky number of thirteen as an audience might have numbed the eloquence of Demosthenes. The few who were there, however, were repaid by hearing the short address Mr. Campbell gave.

Study in Alfalfa.
From the Phoenix Republican. ]


 Here is study in aifalfa: They have just finished the first cutting of seven acres of alfalfa on the Tracey ranch on the north end of section c., township 56 The yield was seventeen tons, which has been bought by Mir. Clark of this city for $6 ton. There will be more cuttings, each of which, if the owner succeeds in getting as much water as he needs, ought to yield as much as the first one, so that seven acres will produce $i0S for the season.
 Mir. Clark formerly owned this ranch. He had an alfalfa field of thirteen acres, from which he cut fifty-five tons in single season and then rented the ground to a cattleman for eighteen days at $9O.
 This seven acre alfalfa field is no better than hundreds of other fields in the valley on both sides of the river. These figures explain in part the pros perity of the farmers of Maricopa county, especially those farmers who do not waste their time and land iu experimenting in impossible crops and projects.
 Stand by your town; stand by Che business men of your own town Theg put mony into circulation for you to get. The man, woman or family that sends out of the community for goods etc., upon which they may save prob ably one per cent, loses more than that from the reduction of our home busi- ness because the money is sent away. Suppose everybody in the town not in the mercantile business sent out of the city for goods, what would the result be on all classes of business among us? Suppose they sent away for one half of what they used, would not general business be weakened in like propor- tion? Every dollar sent to another market that can purchase what is wanted here, or a substitute for it, weakens the business of the town just that much. Stand by your town; stand by it to the last, and help to build up her business into desirable, strong profitable trade for everybody. We can only do it by standing together.-
