 READ IN THE REPUBLICAN.--A few days ago The Republican published story of the stealing of two book; from the office of Justice J. NJ. Burnett One of them was highly prized by tho owner. The next day Attorney D, E Dooittle. passing Woods second hand store. saw two books Of the titles de. scribed in The Republican. He report cd his discovery to Justice Burnett who put himself in communication witt MT. Woods. Mir. Woods returned tn, books without any char2- for he sait that though ne did not know how oi when they came into his possession h. was quite sure that they had cost hin nothing, it being d rule in the second hand business to pay nothing for book. u4h hft p ta a a lot of miscellaneous articles. Tn, moral of this story is that everything which appears in The Republican i. read and remembered.
 THE NEXT MUNICIPAL ORGAN | The resolution adopted by the council ! on Saturday night that it would have ! no further truck" with the Daily En-
 terprise, apparently leaves the Arizona | Democrat, favored candidate for the | position of municipal organ. A ques- | tion has been raised as to whether the 1 Democrat is eligible. The last leSis a . ! lature drew line between adoiescent and mature newspapers. prohibiting | thC Sc which Lave be n in existence S | than one year from engaging in the
 business of public printing. It i. doubtful. though, whether or not that inhibition does not refer only to t5r- ritoIlal printing, though it was prob
 ably the intention of the framers of
 the bil to make it apply t1 all publica-
 tions of public character. The Dem ocrat has not yet attained it's majority
 so that it's election to the job of city
 printer is likely to be contested. The
 prospective fracas is, however, a dem- ! ocratic family affair which outsider:
 may view with equanimity and curious | interest.
