 Eugene Clapp, Byron Hart we'll, Johr Wright and s. M. Kilt were the visiting Tucson wheelmen who have been taking | Tn the sights of the capital. They re. turned last night to their homes. The boys were happily entertained by our local bicycle boys during their sojourn Rev. W. N. Tucker, Baptist mission ary superintendent for Southern Cali fornia and Arizona, will give steropti- can lecture at the Phoenix Baptist church tomorrow evening, to which the public are cordially invited. His subject will be chosen to suit the topics of today, and knowing his ability to please an audience it can be assured one and all a great treat. No charges for admittance. Today IS circus day, and all the farm- CTS and their families will pour into Phoenix for miles around. The small boys have been saving their pennies for weeks ahead, so that they will be able to take in everything from the street parade to the interior of the big tents. The circus arrived on the 2 o'clock train this morning over the M. & P. road.
 At 10 o'clock today the Syndicate cir GUS will have it's parade. It will pass through Washington street from 7tb street to 7th avenue. Drivers of de. livery wagons and other vehicles should be careful to see that their horses are securely tied, as the sight of strange animals, as tigers, lions, elephants, etc., is apt to scare them, and cause runs. ways. The streets being full of people, by little precaution serious accidents can be averted.

 It is rumored about the sheriff s office that George T. Johnson, the Ari- zona plunger," who distinguished himself at Catalina island short time ago, has been located and will soon occupy cell in the Los Angeles county jail. There are other grave charges, il is said, that will be brought against John- son, which will be tried in that county. Should such thing happen some of his late guests. who enjoyed his hospitality at Avalon, may be called upon to state in court what they know about the young blood. In his hastv departure from the island he left behind several spicy notes from some of his admirers, as well as numerous addresses of young and middle-aged ladies.
 Globe Silver Belt: G. O. Scott, on his way from Tonto to Phenix recently and while trying to make Adams ranch, near old Fort Mcdowell, was confronted by two bears, which con- tested his right of way. IL was just after nightfull, which made the meet. ing more hazardous for friend Scott. One of the bears took resolute stand at the side of the road, while the other was content to remain in the brush, giving an ominous growl occasionally. MT. Scott's horse, despite urging and coaxing, refused to proceed, SO he con- cluded to take the back track for short distance, hoping the bears would desist and move on. They, however, sought closer acquaintance with the for more than half a mile, when Scott gave rein to his horse and reached Otero's ranch, where he put up for the night.
 Arizona is undergoing great develop. ment. It is being appreciated by the developers of the great southwest, says the San Diego World. It's great min. eral treasure boxes are being opened. It's great valleys are being cultivated. Its great water resources are being stored by means of immense reservoirs and irrigation canals. It's great for ests of pine timber near Flagstaff are being made use of for lumber, and last, but not leaet, the great territory of Arizona is being gridironed by the iron horse of commerce, whose whistle sounds the death knell of croakers and an. nounces the progress of enterprise. Ari- zona is the immediate ''back country" of Southern California. Its citizens summer with us during the heated term. It's citizens buy their goods more and more from us yearly. It's people are wide awake, broad guaged and honor orable, and the people of Southern Cali fornia should cultivate their acquaint- anceship, for they are our neighbor on the east, and their great region of Ari. zona is our back country.
