4 DEAD TRAIN ROBBER.
Four Men Hold Up an Atlantic X Pacific Train Near Peach
 Springs.
Express Messenger Summers shoots and Kills One RObber While The Others Finish the
 Job and Escape.

Asu FORK, Feb. 9.-ISpecial to the ! JoURNAL-MINER The Atlantic X Pacific overland train number one, west bound, was held up last night by four men seven miles east of Peach Springs.
 After forcing the watchman in a rock cut to flag the train, they com pelled Fireman Bar to uncouple the mail and express car from the train. While this was being done, Express Messenger Summers and his helper Randall, each jumped from oppO- site side doors of the express car and ran back toward the train. Sum mers came suddenly upon one of 1 the robbers standing on the rear ! platform of the express car, and without hesitation, fred twice. The first ball passed through the rob- ber's body just above the heart. The second ball from Summers 45- caliber Colts revolver struck the Tobber before he fell, entering his left eve and coming out of the back of the head. By this tune the en- zine and two cars had started. Sum mers and Randall were unable to get on them The cars, which were the mail and express ears, were stopped at Nelson siding, and while one robber guarded the engineer and mail clerk, another went through the registered mail, taking eight packages of registered mail. The express car was not molested. The dead robber weighed about 147 pounds and was about 40 years old. Special Officer Selvy and Deputy Sheriff Fairchilds are on the trail of the escaped bandits.
 The dead robber Is thought to be a COW boy, formerly in the employ of the Arizona Cattle Company, near Flagstaff. Indian trailers were stared out this morning in pursuit of the three robbers who escaped.

ALWAYS THE WALTZ.
In Spite of Dancing Masters 1t Will
Remain the Favorite.

And now comes the announcement
that the American Society of Profess
sors of Dancing have decided to abol-
ish the waltz. The dangerous strains
of Strauss and Waldteufel will no
longer, as they say, be heard in or
chestration in the ballroom. The
piano organs will tinkle forth the mar
tial music of Sousa, the weird coon
melodies, or the gay and festive air of
topical song; but the dreamy waltz
movement is to be relegated to obliV
ion. This may be the edict of these
learned terpsichorean artists, but new
er SO long as time lasts and rhythmic
measure has power to enchant the
mind and body of youth can the waltz
be wholly abolished.
The populor two-step, with its-romp-
ing, merry spirit and go, appeals to
those who dance purely for the pas
time of it; but the halo of sentiment
and romance must forever endear the
waltz to those couples who find it's
undulations fully accord with the ka
leidoscopic environment of palms and
perfume, the frou-frou of silken skirJs,
the pressure of little pink fingers, and
the Swallowed eloquence of downcast
eyes.
Grim chaperons in eagle-eyed sur
vigilance can rest assured that their
charges are untrammeled by thought
| of aught save the keen enjoyment OF a
| merry, trifing measure when the fes-
tive two-step calls the couple out upon
| the floor; but the duenna's serenity
would be shaken if she we're to know
| just what whispered words are prompt
ed by the dreamy, thrObbing notes of
| the true waltz. Promises may be ex-
acted and soft answers given in return,
Opponents may even be planned, the
| while the two figures glide in perfect
accord before the vigilant eyes of the
careful chaperon The waltz is the
dance of love, of grace, of harmony.
{, When age has set its seal on looks
and limbs man still tackles it vail
! antly, the spirit of a bygone youth
breaking forth afresh through the
| magic of it's witchery. He cannot re-
| sist it's spell, yet can look on unmoved
by polka or schottische.
All, no, grave seigneurs; in your
serious sessions you cannot abolish
the waltz with a light nod or wordy
taboo. 1t is the dance heirloom of all
generations, and as such will continue
always to appear on the programme,
and despite the fact that it is dubbed
out of fashion by the few it will al
ways be in fashion with the many
who cling to it along with other ten
der memories of vanished youth or
who glorify it with hopes of a happi-
ness to Philadelphia Times.

A SOUTHERN MARKET.
Many Pretty Incidents Make This
Place a Delightful One.

Nor is the mere provender side of
the question all that a market day
offers. 1t might be that the Southern
marketing would become a less
lengthy task if the social element were
omitted. There are women who spend
whole happy mornings under that
roof, half the time being spent in
laughing and chatting with acquaint-
ances
why, good morning! l did not
know you were home yet. We GER
tainly have missed you
FLUSH! Let me tell you something"
One may hear the saddest family
secrets or the last gay wedding dished
UP in these aisles on any market day,
says writer in Harper's Bazaar 1t is
not unlike the meetings of the market
ers' husbands on business streets. The
master of the house announces at
dinner, James stopped me on the
street this morning" and so on, while
his wife begins, Mrs. Smith said to
me in market today"
There is something SO very cnarm-
I ing and primitive in this manner of
housekeeping that there is no question
of it's longevity. Simple customs are
too quickly being elaborated out of
the South, but today there is no pref
tier sight than a Southern summer
market in full action. The many
white futtering awnings, the motley
gowns of the saleswomen, the dainty
prints and lawns of the buyers, the
white costumes of the men, the cease
| lessly contrasting colors of fruits,
vegetables and flowers, tossed from
hand to hand, serve to make up
moving variegated scene that is
charming beyond pen and paper Nor
is this charm confined to the eye
! alone The Southern salespeople have
a buoyant, happy manner of present
ing their wares which is almost as
delightful as that of the proverMaIly
successful French vendors. Such cour-
tesy! such pretty compliments!
Here is young housekeeper with
puckered brow adding with precise
care the sum OF her purchases, using
the lid of a butter chest as desk. An
other purchaser waits for her pound of
butter that is smothered in sheer
linen Wrappings inside the chest. The
butcher man stands back smilingly in
dicating the cause of the delay in the
young accountant. It does not cross
his mind to disturb her until the
column is added She herself, glanc-
ing up, starts back with apologies.
"A thousand pardons. I did not
notice.
Don't mention it, madam; there is
no hurry"
There is no hurry" echoes the
waiting purchaser. May I ask where
you bought those sweetbreads in your
basket? have been all over the mar
Ike" so it all goes smoothly and
merrily.

his council of braves were invited to
participate in the festivities, and that
they did so, spending three days In
feasting. Evidently the Indian friends
of the colonists found Thanksgiving
day day to be made the most of.
These Thanksgiving days were not,
however, of official character The
first official public Thanksgiving day
was not until the year 1881 and even
this day was not at first intended to
be a day of rejoicing and thanksgiv-
ing. 1t had been set apart as a day
of fasting and prayer for relief. The
colonists were in great distress; fam
inc was imminent; a vessel laden with
provisions, and long at sea, had not
arrived. But just before the day of
fasting came, the ship made port; and
the day was then officially changed
by the authorities from a day of sor-
row to a day of Thanksgiving. This
was the first real Thanksgiving day OF
the American people.
Thanksgiving days were occasional
ly observed also in the New Neither
land after this date; but it was not
until February, 1914, that another Of
fetal Thanksgiving day was proclaim
ed. That year Governor Kieft pro-
claimed "a day of general thanksgiv-
ing the occasion being the victory
of the colonists over the Indians. At
the conclusion of peace, in 1915, an
other Thanksgiving day was pro
claimed We are not told that the
Indians were invited to this ceremony.
Occasional days of fasting, prayer,
and Thanksgiving were kept by the
various colonists, at different times;
but no general Thanksgiving day was
set apart, until 1775, when the CONT
nentl congress adopted the practice Of
designating such days. The first was
Thursday, July 20, 1775. The follow
ing Thanksgiving days were also sug-
gested by the continental congress:
Friday, May II, 1776; December IL,
1776; Wednesday, April %, ITS;
! Thursday, May 6, 1873; Wednesday,
April 6, 1880; Thursday, May 3, 1881;
! Thursday, April 25, 1882. These days
were suggested in the form of recon-
! mendations to the states, whose gov
ernors we're asked to issue proclama-
lions to their peoples for days of
thanksgiving. Business, with one ex-
ception, was suspended on these oc-
casions. Washington also issued a
special proclamation to the colonial
army for general Thanksgiving day
ON Thursday, December Is, 1777; and
again on May Z, 1778.
/ The first national Thanksgiving day
was, by proclamation of President
| Washington, set for Thursday, No
vember 26, 1889. The second was set
! for Thursday, February 10, 1895. The
honor of the first suggestion seems to
belong to Representative Elias Bou-
dinot, who moved, in the house, that
! the president be requested to recon-
mend ga day of Thanksgiving and
] prayer, to be observed by the people
of the United States" There was
some opposition to the motion, the OBJ
! jections advanced being that such a
| thing might tend to imitation of the

A SEASON OF RECREATION.

Thanksgiving day has long been a
period of social happiness, and one
cannot fail to note a decided tendency
to make it day of physical recrea-
ton also. Both of these forms of en-
joyment are valuable and desirable.
Perhaps the ideal Thanksgiving day
would be that in which all the activi-
ties of mantle intellectual, the
moral, the spiritual and the physical
work in harmony for the accomplish
ment of the highest and noblest pur-
poses. The football match and the
cycling contest are features now in
separable from the modern Thanks
giving observance though both sports
were virtually unknown to the fore
fathers.
