With nothing to lead to it's identity the grinning skull of a young girl was found in the hills about two miles east of Globe last week. Closer search revealed the charred remains of other bones. Who the little girl was and how she met death in the barren waste upon which her bleach ed bones were found scattered is a mysteay which has not been cleared up says the Belt. Clinging to the skull is lock of golden brown hair, soft in texture and but a few inches in length The head Is exceptionally well formed. Physicians who have examined the bones state that they are not those of an Indian. They are without doubt those of d white child

The closing of the Laguna dam brings to a successful issue one of the most difficult engineering feats ever undertaken, says the Yuma Exam iner. The eyes of the engineering world have been fixed upon this pro- ject since its inception, and countless prophets of woe have never been able to see anything but failure in the at tempt. Some weeks ago it was closed, and it is now a success in every particular. The main canal through which the water will be car ried 10 the Yuma valley is yet to be cut. It will be carried down the Cali fornia side as far as the Southern Pacific bridge at Yuma, where it vii cross the river by means of an in verted siphon. This will supply the S5,O 900 acres of the Yuma valley. With the construction Of a pumping plant, an additional area of 10000 acres of mesa land around una will be reclaimed. The flow of the water through the main canal will generate sufficient power to operate the con- templated pumping plant.

Rejected As Rangers Of COchise County.

From present indications, it looks very much as if Cochise county was destined to be without county rangers for some little time to come.
 Sheriff Jack White recently placed the names of Harry Wheeler, former captain of the territorial rangers and former Lieutenant William Olds be- fore the board of supervisors, at the meeting held in Tombstone. The salary fixed was S125 a month each. Supervisor Bowen of Bisbee moved that the nominat tions be confirmed, but his motion was lost for want of a second. Chairman McCabe then moved that the matter be laid on the table, and with the vote of Scheerer, who stated that he wished more time to consider the matter, the motion was carried. Bowen then warned the other members of the board that would take the matter off the table and bring it up at every future meet ing of the board.-Review

Under the new law for drawing the United States jurors, in the federal court, there has been ab1 ogated the old method of giving the United States marshal an open venire with an order to go out into the district t and fill the same, wherever he may find qualified jurors and with whom soever he. may choose to summon. Under the new method the clerk of the United States court at the seat of that court, draws the grand and trial jurors from lists prepared by the clerks of the district courts in the various counties in the district. Each complies from the great regis ter a list embracing 10 per cent. of the qualified electors in his county, which he forwards to the clerk of the United States court. From those lists the yenires of grand and trail jurors are drawn, and the marshal summons those and no others.

to 1t, from Jacks point of view. Had he
been nervous Frenchman or an excita-
BILE Italian he might have imbroved the
opportunity to shoot himself, jump over
board or commit some other outlandishly
ridiculous act, but being an American
citizen, with good red blood coursing in
his veins, he simply did what any other
Anglo-Saxon would have done-held his
base and kept right on saving wood. Our
people have pro ensity for doing
strange things. During the Spanish war
the Spaniards complained that they could
not understand the American soldiers
"who when you shot at them, run at you
instead of running away" OF course
several millions of his admiring fellow
citizens feel that they would like to shake
hands with Jack, not so much for his
heroism on hoard the sinki ing ship as for
his good common sense in not acquiring
a swollen head.

New School Code for Pennsylvania.

A proposition to completely remode
the school laws OF Pennsylvania will bt
before the legislature at this session, and
in all probs bility will pass. 1t embodies
the recommendations of an expert COM
mission appointed by Governor Stuart
two years ago, and involves many impor-
tant changes, which are pronounced ex-
cellent ones by those who have given the
matter consideration.
The new law proposes to divide all the
school districts of the stat into three
classes. The first class includes Phila-
delphis and Plttsburg, where the school
system is to be taken out of politics by
having the School Board appointed by the
Court. In the second class members of
the School Boards will be elected, their
names appearing in non partisan columns
of the official BALLOT and the same plan
will be followed in the third class, COM
prising small boroughs and townships
having less than 5000 population. The
new school code provides for a State
Board of Education, to be appointed by
the Governor, which shall assume con-
troll of the construction OF school build.

to be paid by the state. Enlarged powers
are given to local Boards of Education to
establish and maintain schools for teach
ing agriculture, manual training, domes-
tic sciences, kindergartens, and so on as
demanded and needed. School furniture,
apparatus and text books are to be listed
by the State Board of Education at lowest
possible price, and text books cannot be
changed oftener than every five years.
Every male resident oi the state m ust pay
one dollar annually as a school tax, in
addition TO any tax he may pay on real
estate or other property. and the forest
reservations of the state, which now
amounts TO nearly million acres, are to
be used to build up state school fund.

The report of the Remsen board re-
garding the use of benzoate of soda as
food preservative Will lead to new regula-
tions for the enforcement of many OF the
sections of the pure food law. The board,
which consisted of four of the most emil
nent scientists in this country, decided
that benzoate of soda is as harmless as a
breakfast food and that if anybody wants
to eat it he may go as far as he likes. The
board completely explodes the theory of
Chief Wiley, of the Bureau OF Chemistry,
who has charge of the endorsements of the
pure food law, that benzoate of soda was
poisonous when used as a preservative.
The board in effect states that Mr.. Wiley's
poison squad" experiment of two years
ago, while sensational, was worthless. AS
the board was appointed by the President
to settle the controversy over benzoate OF
soda its findings are final. The contrO-
versy had been before the Agricultural
Department ever since the enactment OF
the pure food law. The general belief
is that Mr.. Roosevelt will now ap.
point new man head of the Bureau oI
Chemistry, as the report of the Remsen
board discredits Wiley as a chemist. His
many theories with reference to food pro.
ducts have attracted widespread attention
Nearly all of these theories have beer
com batted by other chemists.

A Common Cold,

We claim that if catching cold could be
avoided some of the most dangerous and
fatal diseases would never be heard Of
A cold often forms a culture bed for
germs of infectious diseases. Consump.
ton, pneumonia, diptheria and scarlet
fever, for of the most dangerous and fatal
diseases, are of this class. The culture
bed formed by the cold favores the devel-
opment of the germs of these diseases,
that would not otherwise find lodgment,
There is little danger, however, of any of
these diseases being contracted when a
good expectorant cough medicine like
Chamberlains Cough Remedy is used.
1t cleans out these culture beds that favor
the development of the germs of these
diseases. That is why this remedy has
proved so universally successful in pre-.
venting pneumonia. 1t not only cures
your cold quickly, but minimizes the
risk of contracting these dangerous dis
eases. For sale by Dunn Il Fulton.

WIDOWS of deceased soldiers and sail
ors Of the civil war in instances where
marriages occurred since June 27, 1890.
may be pensioned under the provisions
ofa bill favorably reported TO the senate
Wednesday from the committee on PEN
sions. Under existing law widows OF
soldiers and sailors of the civil war are
not pensionabe unless their marriages
took place prior to the date mentioned.
1t is estimated by the pension bureau that
there are about $1,000 or 10000 women
who would be benefited by the passage of
this law. Last year there were between
5000 and 10000 deaths among widows of
soldiers of the civil war. The bill is a
just one and should pass promptly. The
lady who marries one of these battle
scared veterans and makes his last days
upon earth days of peace and happiness,
deserves to be remembered and provided
with the little comforts of life during her
short stay in this vale Of tears.

since it rang the joyous proclamation of
liberty to the Uuion more than hundred
