Tobacco Leaves.

A scientist writes: '"The essential
quality for which tobacco is smoked or
chewed lies not really in the leaves
themselves. but is contained in thou
sands of hollow knobbed hairs which
cover their surface. The vital nicotine
is garnered in these pear-like balls, but
as it Is impossible to shave off these
hairs and would be a scarcely COM
mendable achievement If it could be
undertaken it becomes necessary to
preserve the whole foliage for COM

Dies From
Blood Poison.

Sunday morning last at 1890,
George Lathrop died from blood
poised, starting from a cut on
his arm which was received
about August 18th. He was
advised at the time he received
the wound to have it attended to
but did not get the proper
medical attention for four days
after he had received the cut,
he believing it no more than
an ordinary wound. He was
fifty-four years of age and the
exact birthplace could not be
obtained before death, he refus-
ing to tell where his relatives
were; among his effects was a
letter of recent date from a
sister in Orange, Mass. The
burial took place from the Hose
House No, 2. Monday afternoon.

Rough House
At Arizona Club

Early Thursday morning there
was a lively time at the Arizona
Club, a mix-up of whites and
Mexicans. took place in the res
taurant department; sugar bowls,
catsup bottles and dishes in gen
eral were used for a time and
several onlookers took to the tall
timber, The affair was finally
quieted down and Constable
Healy landed a Mexican in Jail,
and being searched, a gun and
knife was found on his person.
These doings may occur most
any time now, that the railroad

1t is very evident that as long
as the interests are divided be-
tween two companies we can
look for no great amount of inn
provements in our water system.
The most important to property
owners of Phoebe is the fire pro-
lection, and the essential thing
is water. Is the water company
at the present time, keeping the
required amount of water in the
supply tanks for fire purposes?
Everyone knows that the tanks
in town are in very bad condi-
ton likewise the water mains
about town; the taxpayers are
paying thirty cents on the 500
valuation to meet half the re-
pairs necessary, and new tanks
at least should be supplied by
the water company.
