One Crook That puzzles.

Several towns in Iowa have recent
ly been visited by the. postoffice rob
Der and in nearly every case the Office
has been cleaned out of stamps and
cash. The postoffice thief is the one
crook who seems to puzzle the best
of the detectives, and to ply his trade
at will. While there is no way oil
getting the fellows who clean out
postoffices, there seems to be no way
OF finding out who buys the stamps
that are lifted" by these crooks.

Elliott Opens
 Handsome Store
Kingman's New Store Most Attractive of Business
 Houses OfState

This week s. T. Elliott removed his place of business from the old stand to the new headquarters in the same block on Front street.
 This new store is fitted up especially for MT. Elliott. The whole front is of plate glass and is especially designed for the display of goods. Above the plate glass prism glass has been put in to diffuse light to the Mazzinine floor and to give light to the rear of the big room. The display windows are very handsome, the glass being set in bur- nished copper, which gives unique eff feet to the place. The interior has been especially fitted up for utility and display, more than three times the floor space of the old store building being available. Counters run through the center of the room from front to rear, and show counters will run along each side through the whole length of the building. Shelving has been placed along each side of the room as well as along the length and breadth of the Mazzinine floor. Along the open side of the mazzinine floor effective display cases have been put in.
 Goods are now being removed and put in place in the new store and with in few days everything will be in place and on display. Elliott carries a great line of goods, specialties being run in ladies wearing apparel, gentle mems furnishing goods, shoes, both ladies and gentlemen's, and everything kept in an uptodate store. And it must be remembered that these goods are of superior quality. No store on the Pacific coast carries a better line of goods than Elliott, and no man or woman need send to the city for article of wear with this store right at hand where they may have their choice and the chance to try it on before purchase. Our people should lose no opportunity to visit this handsome store and take look over the immense stock of goods that is being carried. Within a few days the display windows will advise the shoppers of the good things that may be had at this store.

Earths Unfortunates.

Sing Sings prison newspaper, the Star of Hope, notes the recently pub- lished bulletin of the census bureau that 494, 94 persons were committed to prison in the United States in 1910, l4,- l47 of them children. If five persons were affected directly and disastrously by the commitments. 2,5OO, 900 people, or one Tn 40 of the country's inhabitants, suffered because some one close to them went to prison. But what of the hun dreds of thousands of husbands and brothers, sons and daughters imprison- ed in the years preceding, making the operation of the criminal laws cumula- tive? The whole community must al- ways be painfully aware of the penal ties of crime.

Is two per cent alcoholic drinks booze

Is two per cent alcoholic drinks booze and prohibited under the constitution of Arizona? This question is to be an- swered by Judge Lockwood of the Superior Court of Cochise county in a case that is now before that court Experts from the University of Arizona and experts of the Arizona Brewery will tell all they know of the intoxica- ting effects of the brew. How the eff fects on the human system is to be tried out is the puzzling question, as no one can be given the stuff to watch its effects without taking chances of going to the pen. To us two per cent or any other percentage is booze and if it is right to sell this stuff it is right to sell beer, which has but three or four per cent. The prosecution gives out the statement that it is not the amount of alcohol in the brew that is question ed but does the liquor intoxicate. To us it is the reverse. The law makes it plain that it is alcohol that is barred, and not it's intoxicating nature, which is admitted.

Servoss We'll.

Work on the experimental artesior well at Servoss, has been discontinued the drillers having completed their con. tract which made no provision for the treatment of the different water courses cut into as should have beer done, so that there is now 7500$ hole in the ground that has cost the tax payers the sum of 5.OO$ per foot.
 But few miles away, MT Berry, at an expense of but little more than 1. .00$ per foot, has we'll that flows nearly 80 gallons per minute, but his well was handled in manner that would give results if they were to be obtained. To those who enquired, the contractors are reported as having stated that they believed that a good flow could have been secured by the development of the water that was found in the Servoss well.
 There is talk of an effort to secure an appropriation for further work by the special session of the legislature that will convene next Friday. Unless additional expenditures are to be made in manner that will obtain the great est amount of good, there is little use in spending more money in that hole. Better put money in the hands of such men as MT. Berry, that will obtain satisfactory results and have half dozen or more flowing wells, even if the quantity is not great, than to spend such sums to put down well that can only be classed as an expensive pump proposition.
 The taxpayers of this state will some time become surfeited with the con- tinued management of the state funds by theorists, and demand that brains, coupled with actual experience and a desire to accomplish something, be en- ployed when experiments are to be con- ducted at their expense.-Courtland Arizonan.

A narrow escape from death by star vation and thirst southeast of the city was the experience of Thomas Stone, a Cherokee Indian, who was brought to the city by Jack Martin in his machine. Stone came to Tucson four or five days ago from California where he had been working, and, hearing that Foreman McFadden whom he knew, was at the Empire ranch, he decided to go out and ask him for job. He got mixed up in his instructions and wandered away from any settlements. He was with out food for three days and water two days, but Thursday happened to run across a prospector's camp. He was given some beans but could not eat any thing more and had hemorrhage. Tucson Star.
