For many centuries it has been the
common belief that salt and much of it
is necessary to the human system. Few
peUpIe arg aware -.-..-----. -, .,o..,,o
the food we eat contains sufficient or
the mineral for all ordinary purposes.
Many physicians, on the contrary, are
now tending to the belief that salt is
moderately. if not highly, deleterious
to the system. 1t is true that certain
animals require it in large quantities,
but this does not hold for the human
race. Sailors. who arc confined almost
entirely to the use of salty food. suffer
ills unspaakable on long voyages. The
use of salt is purely habit. and, al
though those who have been addicted
to the use Of it for years would un-
doubtedly suffer if they were to break
off suddenly. there is mo reason why
they cannot reform gradually. Condi-
ments in any form are beginning to be
generally decried by the hygienists. -

Star: c. II. Pratt. who lives near tbe university, was caller at the Star office yesterday. While at Pata- oopia recently he met Charley Mont gomery, the scout; who is so well known in Arizona. Charley says he has killed I3 mountain lions, l9 bears and 30 wolves so far this season.
 Prospector: An effort will be made by the people of this valley to se2re- cate the forest reserve situated in Arizona, from that of New Mexico, and a new district be cleattd eAclu. siyely for Arizona. This will give the superinteDdent an opportunity to make proper investigations ard to deal justly with Arizona. AS it Is now the superintendent cannot cover both territories.
 Prescott Courier: The well recent ly dug by D. o. Wells for Joe Roberts, on Mob Hill, is a l15 feet deep and has lO3 feet of water. In fact the water reaches to the curbing, a0d but for seepage through loose soil at the top, the water would doubtless run over the top of the well. This seems to support the artesian water theory to some extent. Without doubt, had a pipe been run down instead of a well, the water would now be flowing over the top of the pipe.
 Republican: pr. R. F. Kuntze, the entomologist, has returned from "a yapai county, where he went to secure specimens of the Hercules beetle, which is found only in the latter part of August and the first Of September. This particular beetle is very large, and during the early days of this ter ritOry they were extraordinarily plentiful in the section known as Big Bug, and it is said that it was from this circumstance that the very un- poetic name for creek-"Big Buzz was derived The big bug which gave the name to a creek and mining dls- trict was none other than the Her cules beetle. Dr. KuDtze secured a large number of fine specimens of the beetle.
 Star: Tucson will now De without band. The old reliable Philhar. monic band has disorganized. The leader Mir. Fred Ronstadt, said that it was almost impossible to keep it up. Some of the members have left town and there is no available material to take their place. The band has given it's instruments and furniture to the St. Vincent dePaul benevolent society. The only alternative was to disorgan- ize or take in new material and as the members are all engaged in busi- ness it was impossible for them to give their time to the training of new members. This band was first organ ized in 1889 by Fred Ronstandt. It had an enyiable reputation through out the southwest. It is source of regret that the band cannot continue It's organization.

MRS, H0GARTH'S TROUBLES

A suit involving an Indebtedness OF SIS
was tried in department No. / of the dis
trict court last evening and 1t resulted in
a verdict for the plaintiff, the Hennessy
Mercantile company. The defendant in
the action of Mrs. r.. E. Hogarth of Spo-
kane, who was until a few months ago a
resident Of this city. She is the plaintiff
in another suit, scheduled for trial on the
9Th. Ben T%witchell. a constable. is the de-
PENDANT.
A short time before leaving Butte Mrs.
Hogarth was the defendant in a case in
which she was accused of having stolen
5000 from Katie Bush. one of her dodgers,
but the complaining witness could not
establish her guilt and she was discharg-
ed by Justice Nichols before whom the
hearing was held. The dismissal of the
charge nettled Miss Bush and she dashed
a liberal quantity of vitrol or other caus-
tic acid on Mrs. Hogarth before leaving
the court room. The liquid. however, did
little damage save destroy the silk waist
worn by Mrs. Hogarth. The young wom-
an was arrested for the offense, subse-
quently pleaded guilty in the district
court and is now serving a year in he
penitentiary.

Contingent of Eastern H0b0es
Puts in Appearance.
PETIT CRIMES INCREASE
Cases Of Sandbagging and Burglary
Are Reported-Pollce Are
Vigilant.

The expected contingent Of hoboes and
strong arm men has arrived in Butte
from st. Paula n the east and the police
are kept busy watching them. Several
weeks ago Chief Lavell received a letter
from the chief of the st. Paul police con-
veying the information that the vagrant
class was leaving that city for the west,
and particularly for Butte, by the car
load. Chief Lavell at once put into effect
stringent regulations with reference to
this class of men. The patrolmen were
instructed to arrest all suspicious char
acters. and as a result the Jail has been
full OF Migrants serving sentences. and
many more have been warmed out of
town. But the places of these worthless
were speedily filled with the influx Of
idle men from the east, of the class too
strong to work and not too proud to
steal, and not above doing an occasional
burglary or sand-bagging when funds
were low.
AS the result of this influx there have
been numerous petit burglaries and sew
eral hold-ups. The only hold-up that has
been reported to the police lately was
that OF La Duke, who was made to stand
and deliver Saturday might. About a
week g a u man was sand
bagged at the corner Of Second street n
Iowa avenue. Two men did the job,
under the glare of al arc light. The VIC
tim was knocked down and relieved of
his money. Near the same place am
other young man met with a similar ex-
perience about two weeks ago. He was
sandbagged and was unconscious only a
short time. and was found a few minutes
afterwards by Judge Bliss, to whom he
told the story of what had happened to
him.
/! A burglar visited the home Of Deputy
County Attorney Roy Alley, in South
Butte, a few nights ago. Mr.. Alley was
lying on a sofa at the time. and the light
was burning. He saw. the door being
slowly and cautiously opened and a man
put his head in to make. a survey of the
surroundings before proceeding with the
/ burglary. BY this time Mr.. Alley had
! possessed himself of a revolver. The
burglars eyes were focused ON the gun
for a moment and the door closed with a
bang and the intruder sought safety in
flight.
The police are taking every precaution
in watching these recent arrivals. and
those who are vagged are receiving stiff
sentences from Judge Sullivan.

FISH AND OYSTER LAW.
Legislation Snid to he Needed in
Maryland.

EASTON. Nd, Jan. 26.-One of the lead
ing men in the oyster business on the
| Eastern Shore says:
Il have talked with large number OF
men in all branches of the business and
| they nearly all think the time has come
for some radical legislation.
Unless We can have some judicious leg
islation the oyster business in Maryland
| will soon be a thing Of the past:
The trouble with the present law is. If
one takes up a piece of bottom for plant
| ing purposes someone is always ready to
! take the matter TO court and very likely
prove that it is or has been a natural oys-
ter ground. There is no place en- the Salt
water that has not been a natural oyster
ground at some time in the past. There
are a number of creeks and coyes in the
waters of Talbot and the other oyster
counties of the State where oysters could
be grown proftably where there are now
very few oysters of natural growth, If the
legislature by a proper law would con-
denim such creeks and coves and permit
the citizens of the respective localities to
take up small lots of such condemned bot
tClnS DN paying lease annually to the
county or State. in few years we would
be in position to compete with any other
State. and Maryland would largely control
the entire oyster trade.
There could be oyster commissioners
appointed as in Connecticut to locate such
lots. and by not allowing any one person
to take up more than ten acres the oyster
grounds could be kept in the hands of our
own citizens, and by such proposed legs
lation the counties and State would derive
a large revenue where they now get none
IF the legislature should see fit to pass
such law it would be well enough 10
open the natural beds in the months of
May and June for the purpose of getting
supply OF oysters for the private beds
Leaving the natural beds closed during
May and June is of no advantage to them
whatever. as it allows a thick slime to
form over the shells and oysters on the |
bottom, whereas. if the beds were worked !
when near the spawning season the shells I
and other substances on the bottom would |
present rough surface, which is espe- |
cially adapted for the spat to attach itself |
