 Joe Stsmfeld is c tombstone visitor today from his mines in the Dragoon mountains.
 Music and drawing are to be added to the course of study of the Tomb stone public schools. An able in. structress is expected to arrive here soon to take up the work and give special instructions for each of the grades during the term. Final ar- engagements have not been completed, but announcement will be made later. . The captain of the Salvation Army at Phoenix says that during the past year the Army hss had ffty-four con- versions, which Is 8 remarkably good sho~ing. The majority c these con-
 versions were men in the gutters, who despised the Army and its good work,
 and since their conversion they have
 become good Christians, not for day
 or . week, but for all time.
 l In the appeal ease of the City of
 Tombstone ys. the Huachuca Water
 Co.,. now pending before the supreme
 court in Phoenix the appeal is carried
 up by the old company. The new
 company, of which Mir. A. E. Davis Is
 president. doe. no, appear in the case , at all. The new management ap- pears to be conducting its affairs with
 the sole view of remaining in Tomb
 stone for at least the remaining time
 of its unespired franchise. There will,
 however, be s great deal of interest
 manifested by our citizcns in the out
 come of the appeal, because whatever this de, ision of the supreme court it
 will hold the present company, re- U gardless of the change of ownership, T. insofar as complying with the fran. 6 chIse goes.
 l. Early next month Tombstone will g contribute several candidates for in-
 itiation into that famous order of , Elks. These candidstes-known as
 fawns-will enter the grazing grounds T, of Elkdom through the portals of the
 Bisbee Lodge No. 671 B. P. O. E. The '' Elks are famous for their limitations,
 and an old "buck" ofthe order pays his l., respects to the wives, eweethearts and l., other close kin to the bunch that will D. travel hence neIt month and advises lg them to look lovingly into the eyes of i- their beloved and give them encour- n agement, for on this occasion Bisbee d lodge is preparing to hand some t. one" q great big juicy lemon"
 The coming of Gorton's Miastrels 70 is announced for the 9th of February, ID which date is just twenty five days D. from the last performance at Schief- y felin Hall; and from remarks already a- passed it would appear that our peo- re pie will be show-hungry by that time. 'e The Gorten Minstrel Company is an o old white organization and has a re- '- markably good reputation, being '' highly spoken of by all the show pso- n pie lately psssing through Tombstone, n as we'll as being in good favor with 'e many of our people who knew the n- company in the east.
 tt The Huachuca Water company is y installing telephone station at the
 San Pedro river near Charleston, which
 is calculated to bs of great benefit to
 the company in stormy weather and
 in locating trouble on the pipe line
 There is some talk Of the water con-
 psny's lines being taken over by the 5 telephone company and extended to
 the Butte-Arizons camp and down to
 Fort Huachuca. If this is done the r, line will in all probability be extended # to Nogales.
 Several of our young men are con- templsting the erection of cottagss- this is good sign. not only does it
 indicate confidence in our town but 1t D goes to show that our young men are
 thirty and know e good thing when
 they see it. The rent on q modern v cottage exceeds the interest and taxes on one by some good little distance , and thereby hangs the moral-be wise,
 build, and at the same time be q booster by adding to the wealth, the , beauty and the general prosperity of
 the town.
