From many remote sections and

Named Today.

There was pleasant crowd gathered down at the Wieland Beer end Ice Refrigerator Establishment on 5th Avenue near the railroad track to in- augurate the beer refrigerator system in this city. There was a goodly crowd gathered and toasts drank to the sue cess of the new establishment. MT. Bail who has charge of this establish ment Is a live, energetic business man and the city .wIll yet feel the pulse beat of his business activity. The firm he represents IS one of the largest in the United States and the largest. on the Pacific Coast. MT. Jubinville, the mechanical contractor of the retriger- ator system, has placed his workman ship in such a thoroughly frst-class manner that it is seen and admired at the first glance. In other words the gentleman has a patent to turn the Torrid zones into the Frigid whenever it serves his purpose and with such g useful patent he no doubt will ever be welcome in Arizona.
 The building was named very appro- priately after the Weiland's Of San Francisco together with the name of Tucson.

A yor1i About MiI!et.

The common millet requires a dry, light and rich soil and grows from two and half to four feet in height and may be sown broadcast about one bushel to the acre or in drills One-haIf less. Hun garian grass is q species of millet grow ing less rank and with smaller stalks. Both are annuals and require to be sown every season. On good, we'll prepared soils millet furnishes an abundant crop of green forage, and for this purpose may be cut during its various stages of growth. The seeds are fine and not well adapted to heavy soils. There are several varieties, but the common millet, the golden and Hungarian grass are the ones most usually grown. Like the corn plant, 1t requires warm soil and warm weather for its best growth, and should not be sown until these conditions pre- vail. In its green state 1t has a nutritive value equal to timothy grass, but if left until the seeds are ripened the stalks be- come hardened and their nutritive value Is lessened; consequently 1t is better to cut it for hay before the seeds are ripe and there will be less danger from over feeding the ripened seed. It is esteemed chiefly for soiling, or as supplementary crop when the meadows are light and the corn cropslim. It should be cut and cured while the weather is warm. While many of the annual plants are valuable for forage, none are in all respects equal to timothy and other perennial grasses for hay.

The Great Circus as it Was.

The words of King Solomon as ex- pressed in tie scriptural history of his order of applying the sword Tn a court decision was beautifully exampllfed last night at the great exhibit given here by Robinson's world renowned circus. The grand scenes of King Solo mons court so familiar to readers of history was most exquisitely delineated and photographed before very large audience at Tucson last night. The ancient city, the temple, the streets, the entrance and interior of the temple with the peculiar msgnifcence of ancient times, surrounding such scenes were most faithfully depicted. The brilliant surroundings of the court was grand. The journey of Queen Shebs to the court of King Solomon was likewise @ scene O. ancient times most worthy and entertaining. The scene of the dancing girls as they exhibited before the court and upon their way to the court was one of those peculiarly first-class exhib- it's that brought fourth applause from every throat. The deserved tribute that this entertainment is entitled to re- quires the talent of Il practical and fabl- ed pen. Tho only way to fully appre- ciate the magnificence of this unrivsled combination of talent as exhibited by the Robinson circus, would be to be- come an eye witness to scenes that took place thousands of years ago by becom
 ing visitor to the circus tent of John Robinson as pen artists of fabled ability only could truly paint the splendid scenes that greet you both Tn the sight of beautiful women, handsome men, gorgeous apparel and magnifcently caparisoned horses. The acting through out was good and the circus fulfilled its advertised promises to the letter.
