The Passing Show.

A car filled with assorted Arizona Indians was attached to the eastbound train Saturday night. They have been specially engaged to look fierce for one consecutive summer with Barnum & Bailey's '.greatest show on earth. :" They can look real fierce when occa- sion demands, and when their special smoker car stopped here there was occasion enough to incIte an Indian outbreak. Several impudent young fellows ''rubber-necked" the red peo- pie shamefully, dofirg their headgear in mock courtesy. throwing kisses at the bronzed females and indulging in other unseemly demonstrations of affection. It was a tough-looking out fit, embracing representatives of both the WalIapai and Mohave tribes.
 W. J. Rouse, the agent of the show. has contracted for thirty-six Indians, and every tribe in the territory will be represented. The farewell scene at Kingman is said to have been very affecting. The relatives of the depart. ing Indians assembled at the depot to see them of. The great chief tod them always to be good, and as the train moved out the tracks we al. most deluged with tears.
 There were some notables among these living pictures. the most promi- nent of whom were Smoke Stack, who is feet inches in height. and his
 brother. few inches shorter; Wallapai Charley, and Captain Cassoula, chief of the Supais, who was accompanied by his beautiful dark brown niece. IL is whispered in the society circles of her tribe that Miss Nightwind will set her cap for a strolling count or juke when the show crosses the ocean.

The Moon Flushed.

The moon lost her accustomed pallor for brief period Sunday night, in order to fill an engagement at the eclipsing business. The walking to the Lowell observatory is not very good at present, but about fifteen people climbed the hill and, through the courtesy of MT. Douglass, viewed the eclipse through the big telescope. The most observable feature of this eclipse, from an astronomical point of view, was the variety of colors that overspread the face of the lunar body during the evening. The predomi- nant color was of a copper red. The tints were due at the beginning to the atmospheric conditions in our longi. tude and at the close to some longitude over Europe or Asia. The next eclipse occurs in September.

ices to suit these Hard, or Democratic Times.
The North nm d south Road.

THE SUN is pleased to state that suf- ficent money has beea raised by sub- scription in Flagstaff to make the pre- liminary survey of the Durango, Flag staff & San Diego railroad from the points of departure on the mineral belt to Jerome through the Verde valley. The original intention was to commence the survey from this end of the line, but the snow on the plateau renders this purpose difficult just now, whereas the conditions in the valley are SO diff ferent and favorable that the survey can be commenced at the south end as well now as at any season of the year. It can, in fact, be completed through Jacks canyon or Beaver Creek canyon up the rim onto the plateau. and by the time that is done the snow will have so melted that the engineers can continue the work without interrup- tion all the way to Flagstaff. This course is certainly the wisest and best. as it will save considerable time, and every week now is of great value to the country and is of importance look ing to the success of the enterprise.
 THE SUN bows to that line of action, believing that personal consideration should yield to public necessilies and general good. Whatever is good for the general public is certainly good for every individual member of the public.

Don't Putt on.

The necessity of spring medicine is universally admitted. This is the best time of year in which to purify the blood, to restore the lost appetite. and to build up the entire system, as the body IS now peculiarly susceptible to benefit from medicine. The great popularity attained by Hoods Sarsa- parilla, owing to its real merit and it's remarkable success, has established it as the very best medicine to take m the spring. It cures scrofula, salt rheum, and all humors, biliousness. dyspepsIa, headache, kidney and liver complaints. catarrh, and all affections caused or promoted by low state of the system or impure blood. Don't put 1t of.
 but take Hoods Sarsaparilla now. Ii will do you good.

The Hungry Hobos Shun 1t as They
 Would the Plague.
 The chain gang which was ordered inaugurated by the council some time ago, became an established fact last Saturday. On the day previous hobo who became too persistent in his en- deavor to secure the price of meal. was sentenced by Judge Prime to tickle the mud with hoe for the period of five days. He was assigned to work in front of THE SUN office and Harry Hox- worth was appointed to see that the sentence was duly executed. The fel- low worked all right and when several people advised him to light out while Mir. Hoxworth was busy, he SCOT ned the suggestion.
 Dye spose I'm going t let him take shot at mep" he remarked. as his left thumb indicated Harry; "not much I don't. Youse fellers want me tn lamb and he'll blow my everlastin' head off. Not muchee! I'm no fool, even if my whskers does need amputation.
 After the days work was finished he was taken into restaurant for supper. When he had eaten everything in sight he sneaked out the rear way and eloped with himself. At last accounts he was still hot-footing. The chain gang is a vision again and the mud continues to hold full sway in the streets.
