A mistake was made last week in
stating that a man from u. V. NJ passed
the Oxford examinations. The cor
respondent was informed by a member
of the faculty that this was so but there
was a misunderstanding and later it was
discovered that Taylor of Princeton was
the man. Mr.. Taylor did not take his
examinations here with the others but
he is classed as Vermonter The
faculty have not made choice but will
do so at the beginning of the spring
term. Smith of Wesleyan, who passed
successfully was in town the latter part
of last week and gave the faculty
credentials, etc
The faculty decided that it was I'M
advisable to extend the spring vacation
and the greater part of the college
students after thinking the matter over
carefully believe that the faculty have
taken a wise course.

A DANGEROUS HABIT.
Gladstones Physicinn Gives Warning
Against Growing American Custom.


The growing habit amongst Amer
leans Of taking a mint tablet or some
other SO called digestive after eating 4
hearty meal, is something that Sir
Andrew Clark, Mr.. Gladstone's physician
advises strongly against, saying. III is
absolutely dangerous to take into the
stomach remedies which are popularity
supposed to aid in the digestion of
food"
There is nothing known to the science
of medicine that can perform the work
of the human stomach. Drugs do not
and cannot digest the food. They simply
decompose it. What can be more revolt
ing or disgusting than the thought of
taking something into the stomach that
is going to turn the good food you have
eaten into mass of corruption.
The only way to overcome indigestion
and its evil effects is to remove all irr-
tatiOn. congestion and inflammation
from the stomach, liver aud intestines,
and Mi-o-na is the only agent known
that will do this.
When a M-o-na tablet is taken before
each meal every trace of irritation and
inflammation is removed from the
stomach and digestive system, and those
organs will extract from the food all that
goes to make good, rich blood, firm
muscle, steady nerves and a sound
healthy body. If you suffer with head
aches, indigestion, flatulency, spots
before the eyes, vertigo, or dizziness,
palpitation of the heart, sleeplessness, or
any stomach trouble, get a fifty cent
box of Mi-o-na from w. II. Sheldon one
of our most reliable druggists, whose
faith in the remedy is shown by his offer

How much is gallon of paint worth

IN nEhORY OF JUDGE BARNES
A Special Session of Supreme Court
 Yesterday Afternoon.

\ special sesion of the supreme court was held at ? o'clock yesterday after noon to receive from a committee of the Territorial Bar association resolu- tions concerning the death of Judge William II. Barnes. The resolutions were presented and read by Judge Webster Street and were as follows:
 Resolved. that the Bar association of Arizona deeply deplores the death Of the late William H. Barnes, a for ner president of the association, and a former justice of the supreme court, whereby Arizonans lost an always pa triotic and respected citizen, alike emil nent in his private and public career; the bar one of it's long time leaders conspiCous as an example of tha best relations of our profession with the administration of justice: a member fitted by character, temperament, learning, industry, activity and genius to the place he held in the uppermost ranks Of 9 great profession. His name is rightly enrolled among those hon oced by the bench and bar and layInen of an active and progressive territory:
 Resolved. That the Bar association of Arizona present the family of the departed lawyer and judge it's sincere sympathy and condolence in their be- reaN enlcnt.
 Resolved. That the committee pre- sent these resolutions to the supreme court of Arizona for sucn consideration as may be fit;
 Resolved. That a copy of these reso- lutiuns 5e transmitted to the family of the deceased.
 Judge Street. one of the most ind- mate and socia! friends of the dead judges pronounced a most eloquent eu- Iogiun. He knew Judge Barnes as well as an-- man living and more ad- mirabie men he never knew. He was successful as a lawyer; he had been successful os q judge and he had been successfG3 n the more practical affairs of Iifa. Tho friends of the dead. said Judge Street. are acustomed 70 employ extrGlya galac expressions in speaking ol them. Bv his friends, Judge Barnes might be called a great lawyer or a great judge but by the measure of his accouplishrhents. Judge Barnes was not great though he had the ele- ment of greatness in him.

ing was profuse, not profound. He was well grounded in the principles of law but he was not a serious, contemplat- i've student, burner of the midnight oil, yet he had succeeded in an emi- nent d@rec and his success was due to his natural qualifications. The home ! side of the character of Judge Barnes was a beautiful one. He was Q lov- ing husband and father; he was loved of his neighbors and loved of the whole i territory throughout which his loss
 was felt.
 Hon. Ben Goodrich spoke of the princely Hospitality of Judge Barnes,
 of his genial character, of his power as | a conversationalist and of his extra 1 ordinary gifts as a lawyer which had enabled him to accomplish in an in stant what was the work of hours for
 the ordinary laweyr.
 Selim Nj. Franklin, a townsman O. Judge Barnes, said that the last time
 he appeared before the bar was No | vember 1G. His usual jovial mood was so accentuated on that occasion that | it was remarked at the time. He joked in the friendliest manner even with men with whom he had not been on the most intimate terms. MT. Frank lin said he saw him later in the day : and he was still in high spirits. It was therefore with a shock that the speak CT learned the next morning that Judge Barnes was dead.
 Speaking of his character, MT. ] Franklin brought out one feature to which most of the speakers aIlueded, ! that of his great liberality and charity.
 He measured men by no standard of his own He found fault with none. He often spoke of the good qualities
 of men. but never of their frailties. United States Attorney Nave desired | to contribute to the eulogiums upon the dead judge. He had not known 1 him intimately, but on the contrary it had happened that when they met in court they were usually on opposite sides. Judge Barnes was a vigorous, and at times, a bitter antagonist, but there was no bitterness of his soul and his animosities were never carried out side of t,e courtroom.
 Hon. Robert '. Morrison spoke for the bar of the Fourth district. Judge i Barnes. he said, was one of the most congenial of men and his coming to Prescott had always been hailed with delight by the members of the bar there.
 Associate Justice Davis of Tucscn endorsed the resolutions of the com mittee and paid q high tribute to the character of Judge Barnes. whom he had known and admired for several years.
 Chief Justice Kent, alluding to the expression Of Justice Davis and to the resolutions and the addresses of the members of the bar, said that the court would concur in them and ordered the
 resolutions and the proceedings to be
 made a part of the minutes and added
 that as a further mark of respect to
 the memory of the late lawyer and judge the court wCuld adjourn.
