The term oi the United States court now coming to an end in Tombstone has been one of the most strenuous held in this district for some time. There were several adultery cases ou the docket to begin with and the grand jury returned number of indict- ments against defendants charged with bigamy. Peppers and his three part ners were convicted and sent to the penitentiary for two years each for unlawfully bringing prostitutes from a foreign country to the United States.
 Three well known Mormon citizens of the Gila valley in j7raham county were indicted for polygamy. One of these men is an old pioneer of that portion of Arizona and assisted in clearing and retaining the first land in that now beautiful valley. We refer to Hon. J. K. Rodgers. He was mem ber of the Arizona legislature in 1891 vixen the bills passed creating Cochise and Graham counties. Be again rep resented Graham county in the legis. lature in the session of 1899. MT.
 Rodgers has always stood well in Gra- ham county as a citizen and his iu- dictment will be generally regretted there. We do not believe that the Nor mons of the Gila valley are now gen erally practicing polygamy; it has always been understood that some of the old members of the Mormon church in that valley had plural wives in
 Utah and Mexico, but it was never ex- pected that they would be molested {;
 ten years ago the federal court in this territory made @ raid on the Mormons when many were indicted. but we be- lieve the most serious punishment was
 a fine. The indictment of these Nor
 mons Eow, however. will create 8 stir
 iu the Mormon settlements of Arizona.

The Tucson Star states that the leg. islaturs could do much in the interest
 of statehood by passing a woman sui
 frage law. Bad as the people want statehood they would not agree to pay such price for it. The last legisla- ture traded a woman suffrage bill through, but thanks to Governor Bro- die he took the veto ax to the thing. The women of Arizona do not want the T ght to vote they are content to look after the homes and allow the men to do the politics.

Paul, firm that is engaged in the bust
ness of compiling directories over large

foothold.

BAN ON SOFT DRINKS.
Commissioner Mcdonnell Issues RuI-
ing---HarmfuI CoIorings.

From Fridays Daily.
A crusade against soda. water and soft
drinks that contain coal tar dyes will be
made by the state dairy and food COM
mission this spring and summer. w. w.
2. Mcconnell, state dairy and food com
missioner, made a ruling yesterday that
hereafter summer beverages must be
from harmful colorings.
This action is the result of a special
investigation of soft drinks on sale in
the twin cities. The department found
that much of the strawberry, pineapple,
cherry, raspberry and other fruits, sold
with ice cream and soda water, contain
harmful coloring matter. Some fancy
drinks of innumerable names were found
to be highly colored with coal tar and
aniline dyes.
Minnesota is one of the first states
in the union to prohibit the use of coal
tar dyes in beverages as it was the first
state to prohibit their use in butter. The
position of the commission is that if
these dyes are harmful in butter they
are injurious in drinks.
'Iots of the crushed fruit, which is
mixed with ice cream soda water, con-
tains large quantities of coal-tar dyes"
said a member of the commission. The
dyes give the mixture, which is frequent
ly adulterated, a sparkling appearance.
The purchaser believes he is getting fresh
crushed fruit, whereas it may be several
weeks old."-St. Paul Pioneer Press.
