A TICKET-OF-LEAVE.
How MT. Zimmerman's Mileage Dwin- died Before It Reached Pohenix.

On the 12th of last November H. c. Zimmerman bought a 1,00O- mile ticket from the Texas & Pacific Railroad company at New Orleans The ticket was dated for use December 12, and Mr. Zimmerman left it at the New Orleans office with instructions sent for the ticket several weeks ago, telling the railroad people to address him at Phoenix, and after many days of worry and a good deal of cores pondence as to the whereabouts of the stray ticket, it finally turned.up yester- day. That is, the remnants of a once healthful, full-grown, nice, new look ing 1,000-mile ticket was in the en- velope. All but twenty-five miles of the ticket had been used, and MT. Zim- generous impulse that prompted the return of the twenty-five miles of transportation. What became of the other 975 miles of ticket is an impene- trable mystery.
 The envelope containing the mangled ] form of the ticket was postmarked Tucson" and inscribed on the side were these words:
 Received under cover from Phoenix November 25. Charles DeGraff, post. master"
 As MT. Zimmerman paid $25 for the ticket he naturally feels really more aggrieved than Vox Populi Dei or In. dignant Taxpayer of newspaper fame would over the wrongdoings a public servant.

FALL OF DON JUAN.
Chicag0s Beau Brummel Now on the
 Phoenix Chain Gang.

He was only a kid, thin-visaged, with washed out blue eyes, and cer- tainly far from clean, as he sauntered into the city recorders court yester- day under the pilotage of Deputy Mar shal Hooker, on charge of vagrancy. Not even the tubbiest, one-eyed squaw in Arizona would have detected the least attractiveness in him.
 But he claimed that back east in Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis, where he flashed bright diamonds as night clerk and head waiter in leading hotels, so many bewitching girls yielded helplessly to his unconscious Vaccinations that he was kicked reg ularly from hostelry to hostelry. He tried to escape this deadly feminine craze that wrought him so much mis- fortune by taking a brakebeam ticket to Los Angeles. There Venus de Medicis, Cleopatras and Jersey Lilies still swarmed around him and he was 1 forced eastward again via the tie pass route He reached Phoenix Sunday morning footsore and dusty and was picked up Monday evening for beg ging at restaurant kept by female talent alone. His only request wal that his ten-day sentence on thu chain gang might be spent, as far al possible, in the male quarter. of town wherever that may be.

come in contact with two bold foot pads Thursday night near the bridge crossing the city ditch on Center street Mike was walking slowly along when he was bounced upon by two men and robbed. Not satisfied with taking his valuables the footpads picked him up and deposited him in the canal just for joke. He crawled out and made tracks for his room fully convinced that the business side of a footpad's makeup was more to be ap- preciated than the humorous side.
 The fifth night of the wood saving contest at the big tent was more amusing than the first. The audience simply howled when at the word, "Go'' the ladies began to work on pine sticks of wood with the buck-saws. At each contest the winner has been excused from further competition un- ] til tonight, when the five victors will meet to settle the question as to who is the champion lady wood saver of Phoenix. The prizes offered are worth the efforts, aside from the personal pride that attends such affairs, and so a battle may be expected that will be worth seeing. The performance last evening was thoroughly enjoyed.

FOR THE GENERAL GOOD.
What Phoenix Merchants Think of the
 Fort Whipple Enlargement.

The editorial in Thursdays Repub- lican, calling attention to the recom- mendations of Generals Wheaton and Miles in favor of the enlargement of Fo~t Whipple, has awakened a lively interest among the business men of Phoenix.
 In an interview with Frank Sigler, of the Phoenix Hay and Grain com pany, he stated that the post has drawn largely upon Phoenix and the surrounding country for it's supplies. 'The rebuilding and enlargement of the post would mean," said MT. Sigler, considerable to the farmers of the | valley and those who deal in hay and grain. The revenue from the patron age of Fort Whipple is quite a hand home figure. The barley of this val I ley is of better quality than that raised in California, and as it can be shipped cheaper, of course the bulk of what is needed is purchased in Arizona. The freight rate on barley from California is 401a cents per hundred; from here it is only 25 cents per hundred. Many of the farmers deal directly with the | pOSI duluOIlll6S, luOuSu Iue Lu0TCuduIs do a healthful trade, too. We ship 8 great deal of hay to Fort Whipple Yes, the enlargement of the post and the increased call for supplies would mean good deal to Phoenix and the valley
 Other merchants, including Lee Goldman, Kessler & Boyle and Man ager Anderson of B. F. Kellner's es- tahlishment, were interviewed, ant they Gll talked in the same genera strain of approval of Fort Whipple's enlargement. The farmers of the val ! ley would be particularly benefited

MADE A HIT.
First Public Appearance of the Phoe
 nix Minstrels.

The Phoenix minstrels were en- Enthusiastically received at their initial public performance last night. The opera house was packed from pit to gallery, and the frequent demonstra- tions of applause testified to the ap- proval of the efforts of the performers.
 The overture was played by the Pio- neer band, grouped in the rear of the stage. Fred B. Mussey appeared as interlocutor and Lincoln J. Plumer and Harry Parker as the end men. The jokes were fresh and crisp, and there was a marked originality about the work of these two comedians.
 Harry Parker scored a hit in his vocal rendition of Desc Bones Shall Rise Again" He also gave a chal- lenge clog dance that would make an enviable reputation on the professional stage.
 Fred B. Mussey's songs were en- cored. He is favorite, having ap- ] peared before the Phoenix public on several occasions. John Burger made his first stage appearance and sang, Forgive, Forget Those Angry Words, , without flaw. The hearty applause he received showed that his debut was extraordinarily successful.
 B. B. Dunn's bass solo did not fail to bring the approval it deserved.
 John H. Burns, the popular come dian, caused tears of laughter to flow in his impersOnation, in song, of an Irish woman going to market | His sketch with Harry Parker of the Irish bod carriers" was a worthy representation that was duly appreciated.
 Professor O'Malley made a strong impression by the masterly way in which he rendered a trombone sole which was encored. Lincoln Plumel as usual acquitted himself nobly. The performance was concluded with the side-splitting farce, Senator McMahon's First Visit to Phoenix, the characters being ably sustained by the company.

 ,"The Solenhofen slate of Bavaria" :" writes Prof. H. G. Seely in his recent little volume, 1.-The Story of the Earth m Past Ages,' "makes known numer- ous insects and other forms of terres- trial life of this period, including the oldest known bird.
 "A bird is known by it's feathers; though there is no reason why the GOV ering to the skin should not be as vari- able in this group of animals as among reptiles or mammals. It is, therefore, remarkable that the oldest-known bird, the archaeopteryx, has feathers as well developed as in the existing repre- sentatives of the class and similarly ar ranged. The animal is an elegant slender bird, which is chiefly remark able for showing teeth in the jaws About 12, short and conical, occur or each side of the upper jaw.
 ''1'he bird was larger than the robin in it's body and had a tail of whicf there was bony core some six inches IT length. The wings were quite as vel developed as the legs and there art some evidences that the former could be applied to the ground as are the fore legs of quadrupeds, although the feath CTS show the wings to have been con structed on the same plan as the bird of to-day.
 ''The Solenhofen stone, in which s many of the remains of fishes, reptile and insects are found, is the same a that used for Photographic purposes being of exceeding close texture an' of remarkable smoothness when pre- 1 pared for its york;

THE BOND CASE.
To Be Pressed Today Before the Loan
 Commission.


 MT. J. E. Conklin of Kansas City and MT. T. w. Johnston of Prescott, who represent the owners of 213 of the Prescott & Arizona Central railway bonds, of the face value of $1,000 each, reached Phoenix last evening. They are here in the interest of the bond holders, and today will ask the Loan commission to issue territorial bonds to the amount involved, in accordance with the provisions of the territorial funding act of 1890. MT. Conklin, who individually holds some of the bonds, said to a Republican reporter that he did not believe the people of Arizona would take kindly to the repudiation movement started in Yavapai county. The bonds which the Loan commission will be asked to issue in return for the old ones, are to run fifty years and carry per cent interest

HE SAT ON THE BABY.
I 4 New York Lawyer Forgot That He Was
 Proud Papa.

MT. D. is an eXtenSiye real estate l ork, says the New York Times. He .a also an insurance agent and a general advlser on matters of law and equity and. in addition to all this, he is the
 roud father of a thTee-weekS-oldb baby. lhe other day Mrs. D. took the l.ttle treasure into the parlor and, after :. half hours cooing, lulled it to sleep. 1 hen she laid the child on a sofa with pillow at it's feet, darkened the room and went about her household duties, just as any good housewife would. All this time MT. D. was busy in the garden. Presently neighbor hap pened along and stopped for MT. D-'s opinion on law matter and was invited into the darkened parlor. The vis- itor went straight for the sofa. He could see the pillow, but did not ob- serve the child. He was adjusting the pillow to make nice comfortable seat, but MT. D. insisted that he should sit in the big armchair, sort of seat of honor for all guests. He acquiesced and MT. D. took his seat on the pill low.
 About this time Mrs. D., whose | maternal instinct had asserted itself, peeped in to see how baby slept. She saw her husband sitting where she had | left the child As she asked in an alarmed tone where the baby was a muff1ed cry came from beneath the pill low and Mr. D. jumped up. He had been sitting on the precious little thing and the timely arrival of his wife prob ably saved the child's life. A few mo- ments more and it would have been sui located. Lucky for the child that l did not sit on it," remarked the visitor, who is a man of generous proportions. The child is all rirht now, but MT. D. does not take his clients into the parior any more.

 "Oh, l take a little once in awhile for carfare," answered the bartender in an off-hand way.
 Just then the proprietor left the building.
 Where do you live?" asked a by stander, who had heard the conversa- tion about the register.
 Me? Why, I live in Los Angeles, , said the bartender who "only takes a little from the cash register for car fare"

DR.. B. G. Geeslin was given the
contract for pauper practice for first
half of 1895 Of Walton, Greene and
Val Verde townships for s25.
The Oxford Bank was awarded one
sixth of the county deposits at 3 per
cent on average daily balances.
Deposits will be made in Wellington
National upon the order Of the Ok
ford bank.
The Oxford bank filed its bond as
county depository for the next sil
months in the sum Of $4,000 and the
same was approved. The sureties are
as follows: D. W. Cooley, $4,000;
Geo. Veail, 5000; W. ]. Norris,

appended an Acknowledgement,
which is really no evidence to their
having sworn to the facts in their
affidavit. and the bond will perhaps
have to be returned for correction.

ed and approved.

ed. In the latter case Albert Berry

ed and approved: Belle Plaine,

Wellington, Morris, Downs, Guelph,

The official bond of James r.
Heskett, sheriff-elect, wasapproved.
This forenoon has been consumed
in examining and approving official
bonds Of township officers. The
board struck snag when they came
to examining township treasurer's
bonds. The law requires bond in
double the amount liable to come into
their hand. Heretofore $500 has been
ample. They sare' sent in on this
basis this year. This year, however,
the sinking funds are accommodating
and the $500 bond In a number of cases
is far deficient. For instance, the
treasurer Of Oxford township has
s43463 sinking fund on hand; Conway
township sl,650.54. Wellington $751;
95; Springdale and Creek s1,703.Ss
(combined); Illinois s2,6SAS5; Dixon
s2,OI9.37; South Haven sl,6S9.69.
These bonds will have to be Cancelled
and new ones given. The law makes
1t the duty Of these treasurers to in
vest these moneys in redeeming the
bonds and prescribes a penalty for
failure. Invest, gentlemen, and save
your people interest.
