did mot have some rainfall. All re- ports are very encouraging and the summer and fan season bids fair to be one of the most profitable in many years to ranchmen, miners and stock men,. No complaints are heard from any section except that grapes have mildewed to some extent and that mown alfalfa has been spoiled. The harvesting of barley in the northern sections is now ip progress, but the yield will be short. Corn is harvested in the southern section and sorghumEis about ready to cut. Citrus fruits made excellent growth during the week and oranges, lemons and grape fruit never gave promise of more excellent yield. Melons are plentiful. Almonds are being picked and as a rule in the east ern portion of Maricopa county the yield has been good, and the nuts large and full The greatest progress has been made by stock and cattle that three weeks ago were poor and weak are now fattening. Range grass is very plentiful and sweet and water is to be seen in every depression.

TRAGEDY IN TOPEKA.
Let Us Thank Heaven That We Live
 In Arizona.

From the Topeka State Journal: Il was midnight. Or most any time or minute last night. Stealthily he crept out of the back door ard around the corner of the | house. All in white he was SO far as he was anything which he wasn't much. His face was bathed in 6 fiendist grin that would have been washed of if it hadn't been screwed on. To each of his feet was tied a cake of ice that siZzled and spurted at each step he took on the smoking boards. I In his hand he carried large life sized club that he had cooled previous. ly in the ice chest.
 Stealthilv he crept. There it was now on the side of the house by the porch post. Ah, ha. One fell blow and it would all be over. Crash. The thermometer lay broke and crushed at his feet. The mercury had taken 8 decided fall.
 But it was no cooler.--.
 Such another night as was last night Topeka has seldom seen.
 Beds were as hot boards to bare skin. The man or woman that remained in one position more than 8 moment or two during last night must have been tied.
 People threw mode.ty to the calm, after vainly looking fer wind to throw it too, and took out their windows, blinds, curtains, screens, and all, and wished for power with which to knock out the side of the house.
 IL was awful.
 Folks in different parts of town sat up with nothing on and famed them selves the greater part of the night.
 There didn't seem to be breath stir ring. The babies suffered most. Men who are ordinarily too stinqy to buy a toothpick swore that if they got through the night alive they would put in an electric fan the next day.

CHEAP PLEASURE.

The difficulty with all pleasure is that it comes high. It is that which we do not seek that we get without the asking. There are exceptions to all rules, however, and the exception to this one is riding in the cool of the evening on the Phoenix electric cars. If the evening is not cool the ride makes it so, for the cars make rail- road time and always start a breeze no matter how sultry the evening is. For people who can't sleep we'll these nights a car ride just before bedtime will prove a balm of Gilead.

VERY SATISFACTORY.

We had yesterday what would be called in Missouri "a right peart day" The news had gone forth for a week or so that on Wednesday, August 5, we would sell goods but slightly dam aged by water, from one-fourth to one half of former prices. Yesterday was the day of the sale and accordingly the people came They came early and stayed late and some won't get away for several days yet, for some came from as far as Gila Bend and

Big Bug to be in at the slaughter. Bargains of the kind offered in this sale must be scarce indeed when peo- pie come 125 miles especially to get a whack at them. Of course the bulk of the crowd were residents of the val ley, but all were treated alike and judging from the way in which the goods disappeared every one must have been convinced of the truth of our statements. Yes, it was a big day and very gratifying one, too, for nearly i 300 people called on us during the day, but for all that about a third of the damaged stock is still unsold and we shall keep up the merry war of bar gains until all is gone. The same 25 and 50 per cent reduction remains in force and we are as anxious to please as ever. THE ALKTRE co.

great battle if they array themselves
within the ranks OF Bryan's own
party. There is no stone in their

ed and in harmony with the Bryan
ranks. AS long as they maintain
themselves separate there will be u
natural suspicion OF them on the part
Of II vast number of democrats, which
Wust work to the detriment of silver.
Lit is true the silver republicans
are old political enemies, but the
democracy has passed through pur-
itication and now meets their whole
approval, and why sickle at name

Til the future sees it settled correctly.
Because OF this question the silver

The democratic party is the great

they should welcome the taking up

cation, If their accusation against the
democrats is true, is mere Watsonan

WHAT NOW 2

We are curious now to see, after
the eastern press shall get through
singing their Te Dcum over the cleo
ton, what they propose for the future
to arrest the depression which is upon
the country. They have disguised
the fact all summer that the depres-
sion is due to failing prices. In what
way will they propose to arrest this
depreciation and establish prosperity
upon basis so that men with money
will dare invest il? The gold power
is triumphant More than half the
voters in the United States have ex-
pressed the desire to limit the meas
IRE of values in this country to gold
II is Il clear case that all silver cOun-
tries can employ labor and pay for it
with money worth only half rs much
us the money of the United States,
and we are curious to see on what
line those dccevers of the people will
reason to begin to bring back that
confidence which they have been all
summer so longing for. Will few
changes in the tariff fix things? Is
there any incentive to build new rail
roads through agricultural and min
ing regions, where the product of
both field and mine are so low that
they will not pay for transportation
to the market? Is there any occasion
to build more cities, while half the
houses in the present cities are va.
cant? Is there any incentive to build
new manufactures, when the people
OF the country are too poor to buy
the products of those already built?
The people have worn their old
clothes now until they are nearly
naked, and there will have to be Il
demand for some of the common
necessaries of life, but with that sup
piled them, then what? OF the five
million farms in the United States
there are not half million where
the farmers each can afford to spend
SO extra for the luxuries which are
almost essential to comfort. There is
prostration in the mines, the source
of all money supply in this country.
The expenses of the government are
going on at the old rate; our COM
merce is shattered on the sea. Where
is the new ground on which men can
stand and beckon back that confidence
which we are told is the only thing
needed to restore prosperity, when in
truth money that is in circulation in
the country is only in duplicate form?
The whole volume, in fact, of the
original money is tied up in the treas
ury and in the banks. What is going
to relieve this unnatural pressure and
this natural fear? We are waiting to
hear those wise advisers in the east
when they essay to point out the path
to a returning prosperity. Salt Lake
