A SERIOUS CHARGE.
In Jail for Rape and Attempte
Murder.
Particle Morales Held to the Grand
Jury for a Crime Committed
at Tempe.

Patricio Morales is in Jail awaiting
the action OF the grand jury on SER
ious charge-rape and tempted mdr-
der. He was brought down from Tempe
yesterday afternoon.
The crime was committed nearly a
week ago. The victim was Mexican
girl. After having been outraged she
YVES stabbed in the side and the assail-
ant made his escape. He fed toward
Mesa but had secured long start. A
warrant for his arrest was issued and
sent to Mesa to Constable Mart Pome-
roy.
The officer got on the trail of the
fugitive who was on foot and followed,
overtaking him last Sunday evening not
far from the Box canyon.
Morales denied that he was the man
wanted but on being brought back to
Tempe was identified.

A military band is to be organized
among the pupils of the Indian school.
The instruments thirteen pieces were
received yesterday through the Phoenix
Music company. The Indians have
everything to learn but they learn
things so easily that the band will soon
be in working order. Instruction and
practice will begin with the July vaca-
ton. As has been stated there are
thirteen pieces, and unfortunate persons
in the vicinity find conirmatory proof
while the band is learning of the fact
of this unlucky number.
Prof. Hill of Iowa will hold two ses-
sions of Good Templar's training
school on next Sunday at 2:30 and on
Monday evening at 7 80 O'Clock in Y .
M. @. A. hall, for members only. These
training schools are coming to be rec
ognized as very important factors in the
prosecution of the work of the order
and are very popular in the east. Prof.
Hill devotes as much attention to the
education of Good Templars as to the
conversion OF others, and has been
eminently successful in this depart
ment. Members OF outside lodges will
attend these sessions.

DISTRICT COURT.
The North Side Canal Case
Still in Progress.
The Grand Jury for the May Term
Begins Its Labors-An Unin-
terssting Criminal Docket.

Another day was taken up with the
north side canal contest which is in.
creasing in interest. It may be said
vet to be in its initiatory stage and the
plaintiffs are endeavorlng to show the
connection between the Arizona I'm
provement company and the Arizona
Canal company. For this purpose the
books of both companies, particularly
the records Of the canal company were
in evidence yesterday. Resolutions re-
lating to transactions between the com
panies were introduced over the obiec-
ton of the defense. l. NJ. Christy,
secretary of the canal company who
had been on the stand all the day be-
fore was again the principal witness.
There are yet multitude of witnesses
to be examined SO that the date of the
conclusion of the trial is probab IDLY dis.
tant and certainly indefinite.
The machinery of the May term was
put in operation yesterday for the first
time. The grand jury entered upon it's
labors. The mem bers are 7. E. Dalton,

What is supposed to be the oldest
European book on meteorology, Rey-
mans Weather Booklet" (Wetter-

1905, has recently been reprinted, and
it shows that in this science, as in
nearly all others, the beginnings of
cur knowledge came from the east.
Reyman's rules for foretelling the
weather are highly commended for
their good sense. They were derived
from the Arabs, who taught us chem
istry, astronomy, mathematics and
many other things, for which we have
ceased to be grateful to them.

OFFICIAL PUBLICATION.
Annual Statement # So TlE q
Philadelphia in the State of Pennsylvania on the
31st day of December, 1898: made to the Insurance
Superintendent of the State of Illinois, pursuant
to law:
Capital.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-10-01

good as that of a farm laborer. He cannot
lay by so much if he lives as comfortably,
and he has earned more.
The National Grange once had the imam
cial ball in its hands and muffed it. The
phenomenal growth of the order brought
into the treasury large sums for dispense
lions and the profits on supplies and left
them with surplus, which kept and prop
erly invested would have assured financial
strength to the order and an assured in
come for useful purposes.
At one time, in spite of some unwise ex-
penditures inevitable in the confusion of
a suddenly expanding business, the Ma
tional Grange appears to have had some
$40, 900 invested in United States 6-per-cent
bonds. But it could not be let alone to do
good where it was, and in one form. or
another was mostly gradually distributed
TO the State oranges and disappeared.
What the grange now most needs is q
financial apostle, able to convince the
membership that III the light of thirty
years accumulated experience the officers
of the State and National oranges can
wisely and profitably be entrusted with the
expenditure of considerable sums for
actually carrying out and putting into
firm execution the sound and we'll
considered educational and business plans,
which are thoroughly matured, and which,
if executed, would bring back to the mem
bership in money ahundredfeld more than
they cost.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-10-01

grange stores, with uncertain expenses
and deteriorating stocks, they have con-
fined their operations to combined pur-
chasing for cash, in bulk, upon orders
from their members, who pay cash upon
delivery. This operation involves no risk
whatever, promotes prudence and thrift,
and insures large saving to the farmer.
It is a practice which cannot be too highly
commended.
Other oranges have done much to i'm
prove the administration of their county
governments, promoting useful improve
ments and checking illegal or reckless
OUTLAWS. Still others have promoted the
formation of neighborhood marketing
associations, conducted, in the light Of
their unfortunate experiences, at last on
sound business principles and by approved
business methods. All these are steps in
the right direction. The test of the value
of the grange as an institution is the use
fnlness of the subordinate oranges in their
own communities.
In all the oranges the social feature is
prominent and valuable beyond measure.
1t brings young and old together in agreea-
bic conversation, i'm approving literary exer-
cises or harmless amusements. The fire.
quent harvest feasts are invariably the coca
sion of hearty enjoyment and good cheer.
Many oranges own their own halls; which
are their homes, in which they take pride.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-10-01
THE CHANGERS BANK IDEA.

1t established the Changers Bank.
with 1900 Granger stockholders, and a
large paid-up capital. This proved very
useful institution, whose greatest advan-
tage was probably its competition in
compelling all banks to be more accommo-
dating in the matter of country loans on
proper security. 1t has always been a
popular bank with farmers and farmers
societies, but for many years has been in
no sense a grange institution. It's stock
is still widely scattered in farmers hands
unless the recent hard times have COM
PEELED them to sell out.
The grange established the Farmers
Mutual Fire Insurance Company, which.
starting fairly, went out of business after a
year or two, reinsuring, however, its out
standing risks. %.
The practical failure of nearly every
business enterprise so hopefully engaged
in by the State and subordinate oranges
and the serious losses attended Herewith
tended to scatter it's mem bership even
faster than it had been gathered. Grange
after grange surrendered its charter or
died and made no sign. An officer of the
State Grange-Mrs. Jennie c. CARRIE
ported at the meeting of the grange in
1873 that the dormant oranges in Southern
California outnumbered the live ones by
three to one, and the mortality was ex-
cessive throughout the State.
Some lived, however, and as their mem
bershlp become gradually imbued with
