Carnival Scenes.

The bal masque gwen at Sawyer's hall last night will go on record as one of the most successful social events in the annals of Flagstaff socie- ty. Some fifty couples were present, representing various legendary, astro- nomical, classic and comic characters some of which in the elegance of their make up and perfect personatlon would have done credit to the Mardi Gras carnival of New Orleans. Among the personrtions by the ladies, the "Morning Star," was brilliant in white .tulle anal silver stars, "Grand mother" was represented by a we'll known young lady. Flower girls, brides, Spanish senoritas and other characters were gracefully represented by vari us society ladies. Among the gentlemen, Harlequins, Chinsmen, Spanish grandees, gentlemen of the court, baseballlsts, clowns, etc., weie represented m profusion.
 Dancing en masque was concluded at Ia o'clock, when mutual surprises made a merry scene, as unmasked friends revealed themselves in the persons of supposed strangers. From midnight until morning the festivities continued, many gentlemen and la diei dropping in who did not wish 10 attend in character. Altogether the bal masque was complete success and will be remembered as one of the happiest social events ot the year.

THE CHEAT srRIKE.
Freight Traffic Suspended and Business Psraiyzed on Avery Road
 West of Chicago.


 The great strike of the locomotive engineers and fremen has at last reached the "All Year Round" Route and all freight trains are tied rp, while mall :rains are only pulled over the road with mail and express car attached. The Chicago, Burling ton X Quincy road having established scale of wages which gave a lower per diem to engineers during the first three years of service, allowing them the maximum of pay only after the expiration of three years, the Broth hood of Locomotive Engineers took the grodnd, that if the engineer is competent he IS entitled to full pay from the start and if not competent he should not be employed.
 They therefore demanded an equal ization of wages. The company re fused to comply with the demand and on Feb'y 18th the strike was inaugur. ated on the C. B. & O. road and con, nections. On March I5th the engi neers on all roads west of Chicago were called out and a circular has been issued announcing thit If thelr demands are not acceded to, all en gineers in the United States, Canada and Mexico will quit thelr cabs on March goth.
 The effect of continued stoppage of freight traffic on the Atlantic and Pacific will be to paralyze the infant industries of thrs section and to en, tail special hardships upon the lum. Der, wood, coal and stock men of this region.
 It IS estimated that the strike is now eostingathe commerce of the country one million dollars per day, strain which cannot be long sustained, and as the demands of the engineers upon the C. B. & Q. K. K. seem to have the merit of equity, it is hoped that termination of the difficulty may be reached at any moment.

Perhaps the most importar

Perhaps the most important article of household furniture is the cooking stove and nothing conduces more to the comfort of the housewife as a good stove or renders her so unhappy as a a bad one. The Arizona Lum- Der Co.'s mammoth store, has some locals in this issue of the CHAMPION, which are important to every one needing a good cooking or heating stove and the jobbing trade which desires to handle a first-class article, is equally interested.

EFFORTS should be made by the stock men of Arizona to secure a reduction of cattle rates to the north and east during the coming season. There will be very considerable demand for Arizona steers in the north this year and there seems to be no reason why the railroads should not grant a rate which will enable the producers of the southwest to compete in the eastern markets with the stock growers of Texas and Montana, or W hy the great railroad corporations should not be willing to bear in some degree part of the burdens caused by the shrink age of cattle values.

A Rsprlev. for the ooaasmn.d.

Wretched men and women long condemned to tortures of dyspepsia, are filled with new hopes after a few doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters. This budding hope blossoms into the fruition of certainty, if the bitters is persisted in. It brings a reprieve to all dyspeptics who seek its aid. Flatulence, heartburn, sink
 ing at the pit of the stomach between meals, the nervous tremors and in- somnia of which chronic indigestion Is the parent, disappear with their hateful progenitor. Most benehcient of stomachics! who can wonder that in So many instances it awakeas grate- ful eloquence in those who, benefited by it, speak voluntary in its behalf. It requires graphic pen to describe the torments of dyspepsia, but in ma .. ny of the testimonials received by the proprietors of the Bitters, these are portrayed with vivid truthfulness. Constipation, billiousness, muscular debility, malarial levers and rheuma tism are relieved by it.

 Ranchmen in the neighborhood are convinced that Taylor has not been drowned, but as nothing has been heard from him, his movements are inexplicable and until some definite information is obtained, it must be added to the long list of mysterious disappearances.

Destructive rnnrus.

Professor Prentiss told the Western New
York Horticultural Society recently that
the black knot on plum trees, it is now
well established, is caused by a fungus, the
native habitat of which seems to be some
Of our wild cherry trees. 1t is not known
across the Atlantic. If q recently infected
branch is examined in May or June with a
small magnifying glass, the flaments can

SHORES. and the latter fall of, and perhans
produce black knot elsewhere. After a
while the black crust forms, the filaments
are growing and enlarging, until they ap-
pear to be one whole body. Elongated
sacks grow into the inside, and these con-
tain another form of spores, which con
tinue to develop and ripen during winter,
and are mature perhaps in middle Of Janu-
airy. They fall out through an opening of
the crust, and when they lodge in favora-
BILE position, will germinate and produce
new knots. Part of the structure grows
within the branch, even under the bark,
and kills. Whenever and wherever the
disease appears, the infected parts should
at once be cut off and burned. Look out
for infected wild cherries in the vicinity.
There is hardly any danger from infection
by the use of knife, as the disease is not in
the juice No remedy is known, except
the knife. Always cut at least two or
three inches below the diseased portion, or
a new knot may form below the old one
without spores.-iSan Francisco Merchant.

The Bear in California Car;caturs.

The bear easily stands first IS the repre-
sentative Western animal. His indiyidusl-
ity is so great that All almost Infinite
number of subtle shades of meaning can
be drawn into his nvrmal outline; and he
has gone into comic art as the star repre-
sentative Of Western csricature.
There is something in the spectacle of
the sudden and uncompromising overthrow
of the human dignity by brute force that
tickles the inmost sense of the ridiculous
In the looker-on; and there is that about
the bear when he is really interesting him
self in the matter, that IS almost instan-
taneeus in suggesting to the coolest Of men
that it would at least be just as well to
keep q lookout for handy tree.
As might be expected, human vanity
has for the most part chosen to depict the
man as ultimately victorious in these coz
tests of wits, but in some cases the phase
chosen has nothing to relieve the humilia-
ton for the biped. The range OF emotion
depicted is very wide. At one extreme is
the exaggerated calmness of the sufferer
in the Sazarac Lying Club" who, when
pursued by bear, refuses even to quicken
his gait or raise his voice lest it might
alarm the boys" but strolls into camp Just
ahead of his savage pursuer, and pausing
at the edge of the circle long enough to
remark in his natural tone of voice,
B-boys there's b-bear a-comin', j" passes
on through the circle into the woods on the
other side, leaving them to settle with the
bear.-FrGnciS e. Sheldon in hGy Ovsrland.
