THE BLIND BRIDLE.
Useful Purpose It May Be Made to
 Serve in Phoenix.

The utility of the blind bridle has always been a subject of discussion by horsemen. A preponderance of argu- ment is against it. The blinds do not wholly hide the object at which a horse might be scared, from his vision, but on the contrary, they fill him with uncertainty about harmless ob- jects and make him skittish when there is really nothing to fear. But the blind bridle is time honOred in stftution and is to certain extent or namental, so that it is likely to re- main as long as the horse shall en- dure. A really necessary employ ment has been discovered in Phoenix for the blind bridle. Tourists and other strangers who come to this town from the south are obliged to pass through a district in which they are liable to see things to which they are unaccustomed, and being unaccus- toned, they are unfa yorably inn pressed regarding the prevalent public morals. They think that what they see on their way up town has been laid before them with purpose afore- thought as sample
 It is unfortunate lat that HtStrict lies between the depot and the town, but since it is there, there is nothing to be done about it but move the depot cr provide the tourists with blind brides. The latter strategem would. of course, be regarded by the tourists as un- usual. and in their independence they would believe, inadvisable; some of the more hot headed and unreason- able might resist the ad j11stment of the blind bridle. They would after ward learn that the blind bridle is a useful and wise attachment.

TOOK PART IN THE WRECK.
Two Phoenicians on the Ill-Fated
 California Express.

MT. H. L. Chandler returned to Phoe- nix yesterday after an absence of two years. Since leaving here he has been in business at Saginaw, Mich. He lately sold ont and will remain here for some time, though he will not likely make Phoenix his home by reason of the ill health of his wife, to whom the climate proved inimical during a residence of five years. On the way out MT. Chandler became a participant in the dreadful railroad wreck near Emporia, Kan, last We'd nesday night. MT. Chandler's account of the wreck differs from the tele- graphic accounts of it only in the ab- cense of certain sensational features, one of which was the explosion of the boilers of the three locomotives. He heard no explosion, saw no hole torn in the ground in which the three loco motives and two coaches were buried. The loss of life, he believes, was more appalling than published. It will never be known how many persons were burned to death. Many were no doubt destroyed who can never be definitely classified as missing, be- cause it can never be shown that they were on either of the trains. They will always be missing, but where tnGv met death can never be known. MT. v. J. Bryan was on the eastbound train and Mir Chandler says per

THE DUTY OF THE COUNCIL.
No Innovations in Dog Killing Should
 Be Admitted.

The hunting of the untagged dog goes on with vigor, aided and abetted by the municipality of Phoenix. That is, the hunting and not the dog is aided and abetted. A little black deg was shot and killed in front of the city hall plaza last night. He had time to howl a protest before he died. Several women were passing at the moment of the tragedy. They were delighted at the dying exclamations of the dog and were thrown into ecstacies at the sight of his blood Another dog was put to death in the alley in the rear Cf Coffee AIS restaurant some time yesterday. Unfortunately the slaughter couldn't be gwen as much publicity as was desirable, but many who were not given an opportunity to witness the execution, said they heard the dog howl and later in the day others fancied they could smell him, so they were not utterly bereft of the amusement incident to the slaughter.
 Here is suggestion to the chamber Of commerce, always ol the alert for suggestions for spreading abroad the fame of Phoenix: Let it issue leaf1et describing in graphic language the sport of dog hunting on the public streets. And then let the city council remodel its ordinances, destroying the monopoly of the dog killer so that every reside It, permanent or tenn porary, may participate in the sport. Of course many of the customers may not care for it. Some of them might Y,ra Enr t-A 4< ! have a natural aversion to the sight of blood and carcasses. Others may have foolish fears regarding billets of stray bullets. But the council need not regard either the aversion or the fears of these people. If tourist does not like bloodshed let him keep off the streets. And the danger frem stray bullets is Insignificant It is esti- mated that in actual warfare it takes on an average a ton of lead to kill a man. so it could not reasonably be fes:ed that in the course of an excit- ing dog hunting winter that more than half a dozen, persons would reach untimely ends by stray shots.
 couple of avaricious sou's yes. CT day submitted a proposition to a member of the council They agreed to handle the dogs for 50 cents head. Their plan is to capture the dogs by means of ncoses and take them away to pound, where in the course of time extermination would be effected without publicity. This proposition is open to several objections In the first place it will rob the dog killing business of all the sport there is in it. Then again it will throw an un- lawful mystery about the death of the dogs, whereas under the present. sys- tenn when a dog is killed he is known to be dead. Those who have not been present at the execution will know by the odor in the atmosphere that the execution has been officially car- ried out. The council should firmly sit down on this proposed innovation as departure from time honored Mex ican and Pima methods. If a dog is to be killed the humblest citizen and taxpayer has a right to be present and see it done. The removal of this fight is blow at popular liberty.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.

There was a good congregation at the First Baptist church alst Sunday morning, the usual preaching services having been resumed after the pas tors vacation. Dr. Halsey's text was from Secord Samuel, XIV, 21: And Ittai answered the king and said, AS the Lord hveth and as my lord, the king, liveth, surely in what place my Lord, the King, shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be-" The speakers theme was 1Oy atty. He alluded ito other examples of this virtue seen in Jonathan and Ruth. True loyalty wins true loyalty. Loyalty means more than service, it means devotion. The true Christian warrior is loyal to his church and to his leader. Loyalty is born of love and dies when love dies. The sermon closed with a description of Lord Woolsey's march across the desert to attack Tel Fl Kabir Young Lieuten- ant Rawson, who guided the column, was shot as he led in a charge on the Arab entrenchments, and as his com mander bent over him after the battle was won, he said, Didn't I lead them straight a., -Ittai was made one of the leaders of the hosts of Ei1g DavrG Loyalty leads; and the Lord is look ing at his soldiers.
