In another column appears an open
letter to the taxpayers of this county
i'll regard to the moving of the seat of
county government from Nogales to
the little hamlet of Patagonia, the
supply point fer number of mines
which are being proftably worked by
r Il. Richardson and others, who are
at the head of the county seat re
novaI movement. The VIDETTE asks
its readers to peruse the letter signed
"Citizen's of Santa Cruz county" care
fully and give its contents moment S
thought. No man who has any idea
as to the fitness of things, if he is not
influenced by personal motives, would
give the proposition OF removing the
county seat from Nogales, moments
thought. Why, Nogales has more
voters than all the rest of the county
combined. Patagonia has no more
show to get the seat of county govern
ment away from Nogales, than sno"
ball in-weIl, in Yuma GA the Fourth
of July.

WHEN a voter casts vote for a
man to fill county Office it is his
duty to know if that man is capa bic
of filling the Office. No man in this
county doubts for a moment Tom
Turner's ability to fill the office of
sheriff. He is not a chronic Office
seeker but representative taxpayer
who has been induced to take the
office of sheriff OH account of his quail
fcations to look after the same and
guard the taxpayers interests. The
VIDETTE believes the voters of this
county will give Tom Turner big
majority at the polls November 6, be :
cause they know him to be a man
who can always be found where duty
calls him; because he is honest and
brave and will do his duty without
fear or favor. He Will, if elected,
come to NogaIes and make his per
manent residence here in order that
his children may receive the adj
vantages of our public schools.

T. j. TURNER has met and talked
with many voters throughout the

The boat has been very quietly built
by the Holland company. 1t was
thought that the United States might
want to control the building of all ships
under the Holland patents, and in that
case it was desirable that the details Of
the construction Of No. 7 should not
become public property before her
launching. The government, however,
| decided recently that nothing was to be
gained by controlling the designs, as
foreign patents on oil the details have
been received by the inventor. Neoes-
sarily, the papers. on which the patents
were issued by foreign countries gave a
complete description Of everynew device

A DESK WITH A HISTORY.

Piece of Walnut Furniture Said to be 1bO
Years old-Thrse Secret Compartments.
interesting piece Of antique fur
niture in the shape OF walnut fall
ton desk Is In the possession OF David
Curlett, the cabinet maker Of Shipley
street above Eighth. Mr.. Curlett be-
lieyes it ia at least $50 years old and
SAYS 1t is one of the best pieces Of
cabinet work he has seen. He secured
1t from members Of the Webster family,
which formerly owred property about
Shellpot, including the old mill there
and 1t had been in the family a great
many years.
In the top of the desk are numerous
pigeon holes and drawers, and In the
ceptre thereof Is a case of small
drawers, behind which are three small
secret compartments. The latter are
each 5ls inches long by 2 inches wide
and 31b inches deep, and are left In the
natural wood finish so that they would
not attract much attention. The three
drawers are marked Clipper" Mid
dle'' and Lower" The first bears these
words: Meeting House money here, :"
and date which looks like July I'd,
1892. This date was probably written
a long time, say three centuries after
the real time.
Tho middle drawer also has some
reference to money that cannot be
clearly made out, and name that
looks like ~. James,.
| On the lower drawer, there appears
to have been numerous words written
which have been erased. On one Of the
j other drawers OF the desk is the name
John 8. Moody.
When the desk came into Mr.. Cur.
lett's possession it WAS badly diiapi-
dated and he has rebuilt it. This and
an old chest Of drawers, also from the
Webster family, have been sold.

Three Members of the FIRE Department Of

Mr.. Tully, who was about 60 years
of age, was one of the old time firemen
Years ago he was an active member Of
the Weccscoe Co., but advanced age
resulted in his being placed on the
honorary list of the company. 1t was
due largely to his efforts and those of
his associates in the department for a
number of years some time ago, that
the Weccacoe Co. kept to the front in
| fire matters. He was an experienced
and lsyel. HEADED fireman and his ad.

but also in the department generally
and he was active in its affairs from a
short time after he was admitted to
membership in the company with which
he cast his lot. He was honored With
office many times by his company and
at the time Of his death was trustee.
He had Just retired from the position
of second assistant engineer Of the de-
partment, having been elected In May,

STEPS or 1NG ELS.

When the hours Of Day are numbered,
And the voices of the Night
Wake the better soul, that slumbered,
To holy, calm delight;
Ere the evening lamps are lighted,
And, like phantoms grim and tall,
Shadows from the fitful freight
Dance upon the parlor wall;
Then the forms of the departed
Enter at the open door;
The beloved, the true.hearted,
Come to visit me once more;
He, the young and strong, who cherished
Noble longiugs for the strife,
BY the roadside fell and persisted, 40.
Weary with the march of life;
They. the holy ones ana weakly,
Who the cross Of suffering bore,
Folded their pale hands so meekly,
Spake with us on earth no more.
And with'them the Being Beauteous
Who unto my youth was given,
More than all things else to love ME
And ~ now a saint in heaven.
With a slow and noiseless footstep
Comes that messenger divine,
Takes the vacant chair beside me,
Laws her gentle hand in mine,
And she sits and gazes at me
With those deep and tender eyes,
Like the stars, so still and saint.like.
Looking downward from the skies.
Uttered not, vet comprehended,
Is the spirits voiceless PRAYER.
Soft rebukes. in blessings ended.
Breathing from her lips of air.
Oh! though oft depressed and lonely
All my tears are laid aside,
If but remember only
Such as these have lived and died.

HOMEMADE LINIMENT.

New York Tribune.
1t is difficult TO find a IMMINENT that
will be of more general usefulness than
simple complicated oil or camphor
IMMINENT, as it is often called. IT
is valuable for rubbing on the out
side of the throat or on the chest as q
gentle stimulant, or it may be used
in case of chronic rheumatism, where
it must be applied with friction to
give any relief. 1t may be purchased Of
the druggist or it may be prepared at
hume by dissolving on ounce of gum
camphor in four fluid ounces of olive
oil. In case of severe cold piece of
flannel dipped in camphor liniment
and heated and laid tver the chest
under a layer of cotton batting will
seldom fail to bring relief to little
child or even TO an older person. Am
monia lniment is a more powerful
stimulant to the skin. 1t is made by
mixing half an ounce of spirits Of am
monia with an ounce OF olive oil and
shaking in bottle until they are
mixed. Apply it with the palm of the
hand, using abundant friction.
A compound Imminent which Is REQ
commended for rheumatism and numb
ness" is made of two and half ounces
of gum camphor and one drachm of oil
of lavender dissolved in II fluid ounces
OF alcohol. After this add three fluid
onnces of strong solution of ammonia
and shake the Ingredients thoroughly
together 10 bottle. Kepp it closely
corled when not III use. A good lini-
ment for bruises and strains is made Of
two fluid ounces of alcohol, two fluid
ounces OF ammonia and two table
spoonfuls Of salt Put these ipgredi
ents in quart bottle and fill 1t with
rain water; shake the bottle every time
this Imminent is used. Apply it with
friction, using the palm Of the hand,
as the massage nurse does. The eff
cacy of almost any of these liniments
depends considerably on the care and
zeal with which IL is applied. In all
cases the skin should be covered with
flannel and often with cotton batting
after the liniment has been applied,
as it is desirable to keep In the heat Of
the rubbing. A good healing linimen,
for chafed skins, burns or scalds IL
made OF three ounces Of spermaceti ant
one ounce Of white wax melted into q
pint of olive oil by setting them 10 i
bottle uncorked in pan Of warm watel
and repeatedly shaking the bottle, re-
turning it to the warm water until th,
ingredients are ali melted together.
