these heaters and found them to be as
interesting As they are beautiful One
of them consists OF an outer shell
twelve inches In diameter and nearly
seventeen inches high. surrounded by
i somewhat hemispherical top. which
is ten inches In diameter and twelve
inches high. The two shells are con-
nected at the bottom by rim, like
the mud rim of locomotive firebOx,
with water. The CRATE was formed OF
seven tubes made from sheet bronze,
rolled and sOldered or brazed. These
tubes open at both ends into the bottom

forming water tube crate for the fuel
to rest upon. Charcoal was probably
used for this heater and was placed
on the crate through an opening 4.S
inches high and 4 inches wide. closed
by q beautifully decorated door. The
gases from the fire escaped into the
outer shell about SO inches above the
crate. The whole apparatus was rails

an urn, while the inner shell rises from

and supported on a tripod about four

 At the meeting of the city council last evening, the contract with the Prescott Electric Company was agreed to and signed. The condi- tions of the agreement are that the town IS to be lighted with sixteen 1200-candle power Ii shts, on the moonlight schedule, the city to pay for twelve lamps and the county to pay for the four arcs around the plaza. The electric company and the street committee of the council have selected the follow ing sites to place the lights. and, as soon as the necessary poles and other material arrives, service will commence. The lights will be 25 feet night: One light on each of the four corners of the plaza. In West Prescott there will be two lights, one at the intersection of Summit and Gurley and the other at the intersection of Mccormick and Gurley. This side of the bridge on Granite and Goodwin, in front of the Union saloon, one light. On Montezuma and Aubrey, near the water plant, one light. On Mon tezuma and Willis, north of this office, one light. On Cortez and Willis, near Gardner's store, one light. On Cortez and Carleton, near Judge Wells residence, one light. On Marina and Gurley, near Judge Wright's residence, one light. On Alarcon and Liberty, near the resi- dence of R. H. Hetherington, one light. On Gurley and Pleasant, near the residence of W. c. Bashford, one light. On Gurley and Mount Vernon, near the residence of R. H. Burmister, one light. On Mount Vernon and Sheldon, near the resi- dence of Mayor O'Nelll, one light. With theexception of the four lights on the plaza, which gre to be inside the fence, the remainder of the (. lights are to be swung at the inter section of the streets named above. This will afford the lighting of these thoroughfares to the four points of the compass. When inaugurated, the city should present an inviting appearance and relieved of that dull and gloomy appearance at night The cost of the service l reasonable and we congratulate the c,ty anS county officials on their wisdom.

 One of the prettiest sermons ever delivered in this city, was that of
 last evening at the Baptist church
 on the theme of Love and Obe- dience." Rev. Bowron being the minister. The speaker handled his subject in a masterly and convirc = ing manner, and his thoughts left very deep impression upon the con gregation. He is a scholarly and eloquent divine and in his earnest manner and brilliant oratory brings his hearers to him in sympathy and in admiration. A noticeable feature also Of MT. Bowron's discourses, is that he IS purely modern in his divinity, touching upon religion of the present, and generously inclined in his reference to evil misdeeds. If 1t is the good fortune of Prescott to secure Mir. Bowron permanently, we bespeak for him favor from all and in return a devoted following.
 Prescott is about to lose one of it's valued townsmen, through cir eumstances unforeseen up to a few days ago and due to the South African fever. It is in the person of J. D. Carter, of the Electric Company. Mir. Carter has been reading matrimonial paper of late which stated that in the Province of Ugandi, Central Africa, the only qualification Cor a white man to secure the hand of princess, and, 1 incidentally, vast possessions, and a crown, was to present the one of his l choice with thirteen needless of the | American brand, as an everlasting | test of his fidelity, and forthwith 1 be would be accepted and placed in | line of further ascendency. Of | course, these maidens are a little oil | colored, but where honor and riches are at stake, little complexion don't count for much nowadays. Mir. Carter's brother has arrived in town from Wisconsin, but this car rles no significance whatever.
