ance of Prescott and could hardly

Miss Maud Thomas, who went to
Mesa this week to compete for the
gold medal offered by the W. c. T. U.
convention for the best defamation
on the subject of temperance, returned
home this morning. By just one little
mistake she failed to capture the gold
medal but carried off the second
prize, beautiful silver medal. Miss
Thomas certainly did herself proud in
a contest of that kind, and will try
again for the gold medal at the next
convention.
The two Italians who we're arrested
yesterday were tried before Justice
Talbot today and the case taken under
advisement. The trouble as near as
the Journal Miner could get at the
facts we're that one of the Italians was
calling the other scab and finally
pushed the fellow up into a corner
when the man who had been called a
scab pulled gun and the other fell
low made tracks pretty lively. They
we're both arrested, one charged with
disturbing the peace and the other
with carrying a gun.
Gases of accidental poisoning from
opium, or from the numerous prepa,
rations Of it used in medicine, are
among the most frequent which phys
icians are called upon to treat. A
common mistake is that OF confound-
ing faudanum and paragoric, a tea
spoonful of the former containing six
ounces of opium. In "Poison Rem
edies" one of ithe series of medical
handbooks being isseud by The Mu-
tual Life Insurance company Of New
York, is told how to treat all cases OF
accidental poisoning. The book will
be sent on request to any who address
the Home Office of the Company, New
York City.
Mrs. S. Golsdworthy returned today
from attending the sessions of the ter
ritorial convention of the W. c. T. U.
at Mesa. Mrs. j. L. Munds will re-
main in Pbenix for few days when
she will go on to Tucson to attend the
federation of woman's clubs which
meets there November Is, 10 and 20.
Mrs. r. \. Talbot, the other delegate
from Prescott to the W. c. T. U. will
also remain in Phenix for few days
to visit with friends. The convention
which has just closed is reported to
have been one of the best and most
interesting in the history of the or
ganization in Arizona, and the dele
gates are delighted with the treatment
they received at the hands of the peo-
pie of Mesa.
The Prescott Title company has
been preparing a number of abstracts
of title for lots in the Otis addition.
Z. o. Brown, the manager for the
company, has a process which he in
vented which acts in exactly the OPP
posite manner from the ordinary blue
print, in that in place of printing
blue back ground and white lines it
prints the lines blue and fades out
the back ground white, giving it the
exact appearance of the original copy.
He has employed this method in max
ing up these abstracts and instead of |
having to typewrite each abstract sep
arately he makes one copy and then
prints off as many of these copies as
he desires. This enables him to fur |
nish an abstract for every lot pur-
chased in this addition at a nominal
cost. He uses this invention in many |
ways, which makes it a very valuable
process to him.
The new free library now has about /
1000 good books. About 500 new
books have just been received and
there is not a day that there are not
several donations. The work of get
ting the books classified and cata-
logued is being pushed just as fast as
possible and in few more days the
library will be in apple pie order and
any book which is desired may be had
in moments time. The rooms are /,
fitted up beautifully and are very at
tractive, making it a lovely place to
spend an hour or two reading. Besides
the books there are all the popular
and daily papers already at
hand, so no one can complain in Pres
colt that there is not a place where
they can spend their idle time with
profit and pleasure.
