A Surprise Party.
Republican ]

Twenty five members of company B and eighteen members of the Capital City band inflicted pleasant surprise upon Adjuntant-General R. Allyn Lewis last night. The surprise was instituted by Captain Russell last Sat urday and was kept secret. The boys marched out to the adjutant-generals residence. It was dark, and once they feared he was not at home. The band played half an air. Then light fash ed within and moment later, Ad- iutant-Geneaal Lewis was seen coming down stairs dressing as he came. He ordered refreshments hastily arranged for his visitors All wentin and passed an enjoyable half-hour, after which there was more music. The adjutant- general thanked the military for the compliment paid him, which, he said. was the more appreciated since it was wholly unexpected. He pledged him. self to the encouragement of military affairs in the Territory. Again thank ing his guests they played a parting piece and marched back to town.

Something to Depend On.

MT. James Jones, of the drug firm of Jones & Son, Cowden, Ill.,, in speaking of pr. Kings New Discovery, says that last winter his wife was attacked with La Grippe and her case grew serious that physicians at Cowden and Pana could do nothing for her. It seemed to develop into Nasty Consumption. Hay ing Dr, Kings New Discovery in store and selling lots of it, he took a bottle home, and to the surprise of all she began to get better from first dose, and half dozen dollar bottles cured her sound and well. Dr. Kings New Dis covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds is guaranteed to do this good work. Try it. Free trial bottles at St, Johns Drug Co.'S Drug Store.

The Petrifed Forest.

Anson H. Smith, editor of the Mo- have County Miner. has recently been on a trip to the Great Petrified Forest, and has the following to say about the great natural wonder:
 Last Monday the editorial force of the Miner visited for the first time, the petrifi forest 3f Arizona. Tho journey was made to Adamana,a small station on the Santa Fe Pacific road. in Apache county, from which point conveyance carried the party to the forest" six miles south The formation of the country, seemingly is sed- imentary, and at one time covered by an inland sea, Erosion has uncovered a vast forest or trees that had been covered deep in sediment The trees in every case are completely silicihed. As erosion took place the broken franks of the trees were deposited on the low lands, bewil- dering tangle of brilliant rainbow colOrs In stone In one place an ih.rlense tree lies across canyon, each end embedded i'll 8 sedimentary formation, forming a natural bridge. What caused this great phenomenon will be specu- lated upon for years to come by the wise men of science, and when it has been exploited 1t will still remain marvel to the geOlogist In every case the natur al wood of the trees seem to have been preserved in stone. The cedars and pines can easily be distinguished by the colorings Pine trees in which decomposition had taken place prior to petrefaction of a notably white color and much softer in texture. The class of petrefaction would make excellent homes for cutter and barbers' use. To one who has never seen anything of the kind visit to the forest will amply repay for all trouble and expense It only costs two dollars and fifty cents tO go from the railroad station to the forest and return. Good accommodations can be had at the ranch of Adam Hanna, who with his good wife make trip to the forest one of unallOyed pleasure.

Again Arizona climate has had a black eye. Another man has died on the desert and this time it is a New York capitalist. Of course, New York CTS with money are the salt of the earth and this episode has accordingly made considerable stir. But, now that the facts are obtained. it appears that the man really died of apoplexy and of fright. Then, Arizonans have some thing to say of the man who will start out with a small canteen of water on a summers day and give the water to his horse before three hours of the journey had been accomplished. d.-StocEman
