an assigned duty, soon had the huge tents spreading in the air, and within two hours everything was in readiness for the first performance s-at- s-f3
 About 1 o'clock the band wagons and elephants were paraded through the main streets, simply as an attrac- tion, the late arrival making the reg ular parade impossible. Still the show should not be judged by the street display, and any one desiring a convincing argument that this show is without doubtthe l argest that ever came to Phoenix, will need but to glance at the enormous spread of can vas erected.
 At the performance in the afternoon the big herd of trained elephants made a great hit. These huge, unwieldly beasts do not seem fit subjects for the funny business of the circus ring, but they were all right. The quadrille in which they took part was as remark able for the absolute correctness with which they went through the dance as it was grotesque from the character of the dancers. They had numberless other tricks, all of which they per formed with absolute fidelity, and they deserved and received big hand.
 The herd of trained seals were even more remarkable 1t has not been so long ago when the discovery was first made that seal was susceptible of training and the antics they cut and their evident enjoyment of the part they took in the big show were refresh ing. Their musical act made a great hit, as we'll as the other parts of their performance.
 The horseback riding was better than ever seen in this part before, as some of the feats were entirely new. An exhibition of roping and rough rid ing by a genuine cowboy, while not long enough to suit the people, was all right, and the various trapeze perform ances were daring and original. One in particular, in which two women took part, was dangerous enough to stir the blood of any one. With eyes blind folded, one of the performers leaped from a flying trapeze and caught the hands of the second, swinging head down from flying bar.

ARTHUR WHITE KILLED.
The Phoenix Weather Observer Meets
 With Death at Congress.

Arthur L. White, chief of the Phoe- nix weather bureau, is dead. Dissolu- tion did not come after a long or short illness, nor did he have any premo- milton that he had one foot on the shores of the other world. While yet in early manhood and in perfect health he was stricken down by the grim de- stroyer without a moments warming. The first news received in Phoenix of his death was a telegram received yes terday afternoon by Summer Hackett, MT. Wlhite's assistant, from Mrs. White, which stated that her husband to Phoenix in the morning.
 The telegram did not state how MT. White had been killed, but from parties who arrived from the north yesterday afternoon it was learned that an acci- dent had occurred at the Congress mine. Several people were visiting the mine and while being hauled to the surface enc of the cars jumped the track at the 1200 foot level. The other two cars were piled up, dump ing out the passengers. When they were released from the wreck it was found that one had sustained a frae- ture of an arm and the shift boss had been badly bruised. The rest of the party escaped with slight bruises. It is supposed that MT. White was one of the party. He left here Sunday morning for Congress with the inten- tion of establishing a branch weather bureau, and while there visited the mine with the party of gentlemen whc figured in the accident.

MISS LAILA MURPHY.
The Young Lady Follows Her Brother
 to the Shore Beyond.

Again has the angel of death visited the household of w. J. Murphy and claimed for his own the eldest daugh- ter, Laila. It was only cn Saturday last that Ray, the 13-year-old son, died ond the death of his sweet sister is a double calamity. She died Sun day afternoon at o'clock, but the news of her death was not unexpected, as she had been very low for. several days previous; in fact, ever since the family returned from Flagstaff, both Ray and Miss Laila have been confined to their beds.
 Miss Laila was just entering into womanhood, with a promise of a long and useful life before her. She had many warm friends among the young people, for she was of most amiable disposition. In church and Sunday school work she was always most ac- tive and always took leading part.
 She was a member of the Young Peoples Society Christian Endeavor of the Presbyterian church, and when the news of her death was announced Sun day night at the meeting great sadness was noted on every face and not a few were wet with tears.
 No better eulogy can be found than the following from a close friend of the young lady:
 Bow low your heads, all ye fairest flowers, and all ye merry birds hush low your songs-the purest and fairest and best of girls has left us. AS the shadows grew long Sunday afternoon Laila Murphy fell asleep to awaken in better world She was born Decem- Der 13, 1878, in Ford county, Illinois; came to Arizona with her parents, Mir. ard Mrs. w. J. Murphy, in 1881, and has lived in the valley since 1883. She has been for years a member of the Presbyterian church, and was not only Christian by profession, but fol- lowed in word and deed, day by day the footsteps of her Lord, always thinking of the wants of others; never seeking praise for herself, always say ing kind words and doing kind deeds with a sunny smile that was all her own.
 "'I do not think Laila Murphy ever had selfish thought has been re-
