A FAREWELL TRIP.

In growing, thriving town like Phoenix rents, next to labor is the heaviest item of expense in any busi- ness. Accordingly the wise merchants handles mostly goods that will require as little space as possible, be they light or heavy. Trunks and valises are of no particular weight, but when a full stock of both is carried the floor and shelf space required for display is something enormous as compared to the value of the line displayed, while the rent for a year of this same space is an item that in time would raise the cost of every article in the establish ment. Alkire's have figured this all out and have decided that they can find much better use for the space now occupied by this large stock of trunks and valises, and have announced farewell sale of every trunk, valise and satchel in their big store. They must have room for fall and winter stocks and are bound to get rid of this line of goods before autumn. Prices have been put Iight down to the farewell mark and Cost is not considered. AL kire's have determined to drop this line and they are going to drop it and those who are wise enough to know good thing when they see it will be the gathers thereby

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.
One of the Most Urgent Needs of the
 City at the Present.

The entire fire department is work ing hard to secure fire alarm sys- tenn and is enlisting the services of the leading property owners for that purpose. The council has the matter under advisement and committee appointed to investigate the merits of the Gamewell system of fire alarm. The council seems to think the placing of a system in use would mean too much expense and is in favor of putting in more 1ireplugs before adopting an alarm system. A system of ten alarm boxes advantageously scattered throughout the city with the necessa- ries would cost the city s3,000, or the company would be willing to rent the outfit to the city at nominal rate If the system is put in, which looks favor able it will necessitate having a couple of teams for hauling the engine and one hose cart to the scene of a con- f1agration. The other carts can fol- low by the method now in use. By means of the alarm system and horses no time would be lost in getting to a fire, for, in the first place the location of the fire would be immediately known as soon as the alarm was sounded As it now is it is matter of guesswork in locating blaze andmuch valuable time is lost which may mean the loss of property which might have been saved otherwise. There is no re- flection on the department, for in all cases the men have responded prompt ly, but an alarm system and couple of teams would aid the men material ly.
 Another thing, many costly buildings have been erected in the past year and many more are soon to be built, there fore it becomes necessary to have the fire department in first class shape to respond promptly. Another thing is that the rate of insurance would be lowered considerably
 Shooting of firearms to announce a fire it not only dangerous, but un- satisfactory, and is sometimes the means of calling out the department when their services are needed. Phoenix is now too large a city for such system and it should be rele- gated to the history of the past.

The main show itself is a wonder.
a feature and the interest was uniias
ging throughout every part of the
highly varied entertainment which,
with it's three rings and three stages
would have made our great grand
fathers wondered to have seen.
The performances began at O'Clock
in the afternoon and in the evening.
About 1900 people from the country
roundabout We're present at the two
performances The tent can seat 15.ooo
people and some places where the show
exhibits, is crowded.
It consumed but little time to seat the
audience and it was the easiest thing
in the world to find a scat. Scores of
courteous ushers lined the passaseway
and everyone received personal atten-
ton The crowd was handled with
great skill and the manner in which
the ushcrs attended to their duty is
worthy of commentator.
The features of the performance was
furnished by Alar. the human arrow, a
girl. who was shot through the air from
a huge cross bow througha paper target
and was there caught by a man hang
ing from a trapeze.
William Showles, the veteran horse
man and champion of the world, kept
the audience spellbound with his dar-
ing equestrian acts.
John O'Brien's act of handling and
putting 81 horses through difficult evo-
lutions, in a single ring at one time,
is certainly a marvel. His influence
over the animals is marked and they
are so well trained that word from
him will change the entire manoeuvre.
Mr.. O'Brien is surely an adept at his
business. 1t required only three months
TO train the animals so they could per-
form this extraordinary feat.
What everone would like to know is
how Leon La Roche, after enclosing
himself in metal globe, rolls himself

is no visible means of locomotion, and

moneys worth, as the show, like wine,

The street parade which started from

was magnificent. In fact, it was the
greatest thing of its kind ever seen in
Augusta. Everyone was delighted.

fairy stories together with the Duryea
motor wagon or horscleSs carriage,
which was. indeed, something unique
and which had the admiration of hun

There were also many other unique

ever one of the performers or one of
