With Judge Tyler out of the race for
circuit judge the only entries so far are
Maj. p. L. Divine and Gen. Dana Har-
man, but Judge Tyler Campbell will
probably get in the fight soon, il his
friends can persuade him to do so.
This will make pretty three-cornered
fight that will work some of the con-
testants overtime and furnish amuse-
ment to democrats, at least. For At
torney General d, A. Vines is the only
avowed candidate so far but S. +. w.
Moore will probably shy his castor in.
to the ring before the race is called.
Both of these young gentlemen are
members of the Johnson City bar and
will make it interesting for each other,
if there are no more entries.

1t is just as well to tell the truth.
johnson City is jealous of Bristol and
has good reason to be. Her empty
residences and business blocks do not
excite our envy, nor do we covet her
probability Of again goin in the soloon
business, on one side, but she has a
citizen that any town would be proud
to claim as a resident. He was born
in Bristol and that fact alone has made
the place famous. The people now be
willing to give us a chance at him.
He was a classmate of Old Ramesis
and has the most remarkable memory
of any man livingutoday. a peculiar
freak of his mind is that he remembers
whar everybody else has forgotten ages
agone and cannot retain anything
modern. When he uncorls his anti
que mind, bottled in bond, and he does
so upon every occasion with or with
out provocation, his hearers are given
a trip backward into the distant and
and forgotten part, and it is all so elo-
guently told, and in such minute de
tail, that it is ever knew. We really
think we have every reason to be cur
ious Of Bristol's distinguished son,
Col Sam l.. King.

Deafness Can Not Be Cured

by local applications. as they can not reach the
diseased portion of the car There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by coDstitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have rumbling found or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can BIT
taken out and this tube restored TO its norma
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an intiamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.

 The Bisbee Miner says that the letter which was received today by Mir Smith says that strenuous work IS being done and that the senate will surely be called upon to pass upon the measure whether CT not Chairman Beveridge returns.

That All Import
 ant Measure

Very soon. the question of county seat removal shall have been disposed of by the legis- lature of Arizona.
 Very soon the people of this territory will kn o W W h tn CT they have been recognized by that powerful body, that aggregation which is presumed to represent their rights and carry out their wishes, or whether they shall have to appeal to the courts for that which their chosen representatives have denied them, their plain and consti- tutional rights.
 With all the abuse that has been heaped upon the present legislature. we shall be sadly disappointed if they do not stand by the implied pledge they gave the people of Ari- zona in general and the Democratic party in particu- lar, when elected that they would stand by what cOnsti- tutes the greatest good for the greatest number.
 That is Democracy pure and simple and we conceive it impossible for a body in which Democracy predomi- mates to ignore that noble, fundamental principle.
 If they stand by that golden monitor of Democracy. they will never pass an act for the benefit of a few disgruntled combinations in Graham and Cochise counties, sore and mercenery as they are as a ain public policy, as against constitutionality, as against the rights, the wishes and the interests oe t h e masses.
 We will never believe this representative body recreant to their obligations to { h ( eopl e of the whole terri tory.

 Yesterday I50 carloads of oranges passed through Tucson. The fruit shipment is from California ranches to the eastern markets. These ship ments were delayed by the recent floods which seriously handicapped railroads in California, causing the freight to become congested.
