THE VERY BEST WAY.

This is the summer of everybody's discomfort, but all's well that ends we'll and all summers end even in Ari- zona, and kicking about the heat don't make the weather any cooler. The best way to enjoy ones self in Phoe- nix at this time of year is also the cheapest way, which is simply the patronizing of the electric cars after sundown or in the early morning. It is cheaper, safer and healthier than horseback riding and physicians re- commend it as such. One gets to breathe more ozone in one ride on the electric cars than they otherwise would in a year. Breathers of ozone are never known to have headaches and are always glad they are alive. Had you noticed that?

 Arrest and Slander.

WASHINGTON, July 2S. = Ezekiel Taminasian, an Armenian, has brought a novel suit against Dr. Starr Parsons, local dentist, and is to recover dam ages, which the oriental orator item izes as follows: Malpractice, $5,O0O; false arrest and imprisonment, $10,- 900; islander, s5,000. Taminasian had defective front tooth, which the den tist, he declares, agreed to make right. According to Taminasian's declara- toin filed in court, the dentist not only failed, but caused him almost insuffer- able pain, and when he complained had him arrested for stealing a Ire movable bridge" and thrown in jail. The dentist failed to substantiate his charge of theft and Taminasian now wants redress.

AN INSIDI0US PLAGUE Hog Disease With No Effective Remedy. The Affected District Is Near
 Mesa City. All Danger from the Spread of the Plague Is Over Owing to the
 Strict Quarantine.

Professor Stowe Devol of the experi- ment station at Tucson was in Phoenix yesterday, he having been over on the soth side for a few days investigating the swine plague there.
 In an interview Professor De- vol said that the plague was now confined to that side of the river, the disease on this side having been wiped out.
 The plague, he says, is distinct from hog cholera. It is bacterial in nature and contagious. It affects the lungs first, then the lymphatics and tear ducts, following along all the secre- tory glands and organs.
 The government has been spending large sums of money in the efforts to discover remedy, but no specific has yet been found that will effectually cure the plague. The only effective remedy to keep the plague from spreading is to separate and destroy the afflicted animals. The swine after showing symptoms of the disease will live from twenty-four hours to three weeks, but in no instance have they recovered.
  south side that should be slaughtered and Professor Devol has left orders to that effect. The affected district is right around Mesa, covering a radius of six miles, running south and east.
 It is declared by some of the ranch CTS that they first noticed the symp- toms of the plague about two years ago, but the first outbreak did not oc- cur until December last. The disease or it's contagious nature was not rec ognized until Professor Devol made his first visit in April, when called in consultation by Dr. F. o. Richmond, who was then territorial veterinary surgeon.
 Whenever the quarantine instruc- tions have been followed to the letter the disease has been conquered from spreading. There are losses in excess of $100,000 directly and indirectly in the valley since the plague was first noticed, but what has been saved by the proper observance of quarantine instructions far exceeds that sum- The plague is now checked from spreading and if the instructions of Professor Devol are carried out it will soon be a thing of the past.
 Hogs are now being released from quarantine for shipment and already nine carloads have been shipped out of Glendale and several more will be shipped shortly. The greatest care has been taken in the matter of releas- ing the quarantined hogs until all danger is past, but it is now perfectly safe on this side of the river.

BRYAN'S MASTERPIECE.
Now Being Printed-Everybod Gan
 Have a Copy.

WASHINGTON, Jnly 2S.-Senator Faulkner, chairman of the Democratic congressional committee, came to Washington from his home in Martins burg, W. Va., to take charge of the con- test for the next house of representa- tives. He found letters by the bushel addressed to him from all sections of the country.
 "Never in the history of political campaign has so much interest been manifested by the people to obtain ac- curate information as to the iseues in- volved," he said. 'I find thousands of letters from everywhere, all asking for information. Strange as it may seem, in all that pile. Gndicating collection ot several hundred letters) there is not single mention of the tariff or the gold standard. am astounded at the tone of come of the letters 1 am receiv- ing. and it appears to me that the silver wave is sweeping over the east with as much force as it has engulfed the south and west"
 While Senator Faulkner wae talking, Secretary Gardiner came into the room bearing in his hand 2 copy of MT. Bryan's now famous Chicago speech, fresh from the committee's printing of. flee. It is got up in pamphlet form wi:h the "crowns of thorns and cross of gold" quotations as the heading. Sen ator Faulkner took the pamphlet, ex' amined it, admired the style of the printing, and remarked that it was "the best statement of the silver question from our standpoint, that has been made"
 Senator Faulkner says the greatest demand at present is for copies of Bryan's Chicago speech. It will be sent out as fast as it can be furnished by the printer, and all over the country, so that every man, woman and child may have copy if it is desired. The first instalment was dispatched today.

BUTTE, Mont, July 2S.-Senator Leo Mantle and Congressman Hartman arrived here today. Both say they supported Bryan because he is a bi- metallist, and not because he is a Democrat

I think Watson will allow his name to be withdrawn. The ticket, from a point of good poli- tics, must be Bryan and Sewall." MT. Mantle spoke in the same vein.

 CHARLES I. wore a pointed beard, in the style known as the Vandyke.
 VEsPAsIAN had large, red face, with high cheek bones and heavy chin.
 THE duke of Wellington had great Roman nose and a stern, forbidding face.
 ADDISON had regular and quite pleas ing features, unmarked by dissipation. CHAUcER looked like dandy, the inn pression being intensified by lis dress. NAPOLEON III. had dull, almost stupid, face. He generally seemed half asleep.

THE aREAI 1usIaRp.
1t Has Been Extinct In Ergiand for More
y Than FIFTY Years.


The great bastard formerly haunt
ed all the level counties of England,
and was particularly common on Sails
bury plain. From the reign of Henry
VIII. repeated measures were passed
in order to protect it; and it is express
ly included under the head of game in
the statute of the first year of the
reign of William w.. which codified ald
reformed the laws relating to game. The
close season for bustard shooting was
and is from the first of March tothe first
of September. But the native bustard is
now extinct in England. The last was
killed at Swaffham in Norfolk, in 1885,
Any that have been shot since have
been merely casual visitors, probably
coming from the plains of Saxony. The
causes of the disappearance of the bus
tard are, firstly, the sport they af-
forded, for they were hunted with
greyhounds as well as shot; secondly,
the increase in the amount of cultivated
land. This largest of European birds,
weighing as much as 30 pounds, could
no longer find any sufficient support
on the closely cropped plains of Eng
land.

the tunnel was ready for use, and be-
fore turning the water into this viaduct
the quartermaster general caused an
inspection, and he made an honest re-
port. Everybody was amazed to learn
that the enormous sum of $2,O00,0OO
had been actually thrown away. The
tunnel was useless, and had been con-
structed not for the purpose of carry
ing water, but for the purpose of rob
bing the government. The hole in the
ground was there, but the brick work
lining was an awful botch. Common
plaster instead of cement had been
used. Great holes above the brick work
were left untitled; and the pressure of
water would have broken down the
brick lining almost Immediately. The
contractors cared nothing for that.
All they wanted was 10 have the tunnel
accepted by the government, so that
they could draw their final moneys
from the treasury, and get away from
Washington as soon as possible.
The tunnel is still there. It has
never been used, and it cannot be used
without the expenditure of at least an
other million dollars. Moreover, other
appropriations might be misspent in
