NO RECEIVER YET.
The Matter Will Perhaps Be Settled
 Today.

The Arizona canal receivership is still undecided. All the, parties in interest believed that the matter would, be disposed of yesterday after noon. The attorneys and Judge Street. held a long conference in cham bers and when it was concluded they an nounced that the matter had gone over another day, the parties having failed to come to an agreement.
 Two names are more prominently mentioned in connection with the re- ceivership those of Col. c. w. John stone and c. T. Hlrst. So far as is known the attorneys themselves have not discussed them, but there is a popular impression that one or the other will be chosen.
 The grand jury yesterday submitted another report containing four indict- ments, three of which are hidden. The fourth is reindictment of Steele Riggs and Daily for the murder of Andy Grant
 Lopez, Fernandez and Valenzuela who were indicted on Saturday, were arraigned and will plead this moIn- ing. The first indictment for arson against J. A. Phillips was set aside ard he was arraigned under the sec ond one found, charging him with at tempted arson. He was admitted to bail in the sum of $500 In the case of Conductor J. H. But Ter, indicted for assault with a deadly weapon, arraignment was continued until tomorrow
 It is expected that the grand jury will submit its final report today though it may not do so. It is said that no inquiry has yet been made into the circumstances of the murder of John Pratt at Gila Bend last sum- mer, or at any rate, no witnesses in the case have been summoned. On the civil side of the court the case of J. c. Cole vs. Sheriff Orne was dismissed at the cost of the plain tiff. In the case of Redewill vs. Good win and Daggs, judgment was rendered the plaintiff.
 Judgment was also given the plain tiff in the case of c. H. Gray vs. J. E. Walker, assignee of the Hartford Banking company. This was a mat ter in which a motion by the plaintiff to dissolve an injunction was denied last Saturday.
 In the case of Gallardo vs. Esp.nosa judgment was given the plaintiff for S6O, which, by the way, he had Ob- tained in a justices court last sum- mer.

AN UNWORTHY SON.
A Relative of General Lew Walalce Is
 a Grand Jury Subject.

Wallace Duncan, the unworthy son of a noble sire, is in the county jail awaiting the action of the grand jury on charges of grand larceny and for gerry. Duncan is the young man to whom reference was made by The Republican on Sunday morning, in which it was stated that he had forged ~-ehsck for $50, but had been com pel1ed an hour later to return all the money he had not spent.
 The young man is a grand nephew of General Lew Wallace, a grandson of Hon. William Wallace of Indiana and a son of John S. Duncan of Indian apolis, who since the removal of ex- President Harrison to New York is probably the ablest lawyer in Indiana. , $ Young Duncan came to Phoenix le:s than a week ago on account of i'll health. He is a smooth shaven, pale and rather handsome young man and a pleasing talker, though there is an indefinite something about his man. ner that gives strangers an unfavor- able impression. He manifested sporting inclinations and spent money so lavishly that on Saturday afternoon his funds were exhausted. He had a check for S2O, apparently signed Dy pr. Purman, cashed at Butts drug store on Saturday night. The re- spectability of the young mans con- nections and the fact that Dr. Purman used to live at Indianapolis prevented any suspicion of the genuineness ot the signature.
 Later the same evening he had 3 check for $50, also apparently signed by Dr. Purman, cashed at the Riche- lieu, as has been already described It was about 10 o'clock that nigh |when ne as forced to give up s4S.50 all he had left of the proceeds.

 About the middle of the afternoon his roommate was found. He sai(

and the liabilities perhaps $6,500. He believed that the matter could be put in proper shape within sixty days. He did not know whether the business would be continued or not, but he be- lieved that affairs would be so left that it could be continued. MT. T. B. Irvine, the manager, was also unable to say anything of the future of the business. A very large part of the indebtedness of the firm is due out side creditors.
 The firm has been doing a large and prosperous business and the failure is attributed to family troubles, which have involved expensive litigation. The expense of moving from the old quarters in the Irvine block to the present location was heavy and be- came one of the many straws on the camel's back The stock, MT. Plank says, is large, new and clean and he anticipates no trouble in disposing of as much as may be necessary to meet all the obligations of the firm.

SERMON ON THE FALL"
Delivered at the First Baptist Church
 on Sunday Night.

At the Baptist church on Sunday evening, the pastor gave the fourth of a series of sermons His text was Hebrews 12:14, Holiness" his theme the fall of man. One evil deed may doom a man to infamy One traitor ous act may condemn a soldier to death. The first man was holy. Holi- ress means wholeness- purity which is spotless, perfect and complete. The first sin destroyed that wholeness, marred that perfection, marked with an indelible stain that purity. Law and mercy are two different things. Law recognizes only penalty for the transgressor.
 Union with God is soul-lige. Separa- ton from God is spiritual death. Sin eXiles a man from God We may think of the first man as having a body, perfect and complete in its phys ical development, free from every touch of disease and twinge of pain every organ in healthful action, every muscle quick to obey the will, every nerve bringing but pleasurable sensa- tions to the unwearied brain, the mind unclouded and never vexet

ENTERTAINED THE BARTENDER
A Chicago Youth Made Believe at {
 Suicidal Attempt,

A young man from Chicago put the
 teeth of the Hotel Adams bartender
 on edge the other day. The Chicago
 young man is living at Tempe for his
 health He came to Phoenix and filled himself up with liquor and re-
 morse. He sat down in one of the wine rooms of the cafe and gave
 himself up ito the most gloomy thoughts. There was nobody but him and the bartender in the cafe. The
 bartender was busy polishing glasses and the young man was busy think ing. Neither operation made very
 much noise. Suddenly the sepulchral
 stiffness was broken by pistol shot
 in the room where the young man sat. 1 The bartender let a glass fall and
 thought, 'I'll bet that Chicago guys got blood all over everything" He went to see about it. He was pleased | to note the absence of disfguring blood and was surprised to see the young man alive and calm. He de- clined to make any explanation about the shooting and a careful search failed to discover the mark of a bullet anywhere, for which reason the bar. tender is inclined to believe that the
 cartridge was a blank, intended for stage effect.
 This incident recalls another ona Of the notorious Champagne Charlie. whose millionaire father sent him out here from Chicago so that he wouldn't
 disgrace the folks at home. Charlie
 proceeded at once to adapt himself to
 what he believed to be the customs of the country. He let his hair grow long, bought a cowboy outfit unlike
 any outfit that practical cowboy ever owned. He bought also a large | assortment of repeating rifles and re- volvers, so that his room at the Com
 mercial looked like an arsenal One
 night the more timid guests of the hotel imagined that the Apaches had broken out again. There were wild, herce cries and shots. The noise was
 traced to Champagne Charities room
 and when the door was broken open,
 Charlie was found standing in the
 middle of the floor dressed in his cowboy uniform, his usually lustreless eyes gleaming with excitement, his
 rifle still smoking and Charlie him
 self begging imaginary foes to come
 out into the open and fight 1t out But
 Charlie did not use blank cartridges.

VAUGHN'S PRIVATE PARK.
Philadelphia Millionaire Building Up
q Big Estate on White River.

Buford, Colo, Aug. 4.-B. F. Vaughn,
Philadelphia millionaire, is just COM
pleting one of the finest hunters lodges
in one of the finest game parks in the
United States, on North Elk creek, a
few miles from White river. Mr.. Vaughn
has purchased the Shideler, Duom and
Lamb ranches, which include a large
tract in the White river valley, and all
the lands along Elk creek valley for
four miles and has enclosed it all with
a strong fence.
His tract includes valley and upland
timber, and incloSeS what has been a
favorite feeding place for deer and elk.
He proposes to stock the place thor
oughly with game, importing the ami
mails from other states, if necessary, in
order to escape the restrictions of the
Colorado game laws.
Three miles up from the river he has
built a house which is a marvel of log
constructing. The material all comes
from the spruce forests of the adjoining
hills, but a force of skilled carpenters
and wood workers has been at work for
months shaping the rough logs. The
house is wheel shaped, with ten rooms
radiating from a central apartment. The
overhead timbering is done in cobweb
style. The bark has been left on the
logs, except al the joining, giving the
work an appearance of ruSticity. Mr.
Vaughn is furnishing his house luXuri-
ously.
There is an open fire place in every
room, pipes bring a supply of pure wa
ter from springs up the creek, and he
is now arranging for an electric power
plant to utilize the fall of Elk creek
and illuminate his estate. Mr.. Vaughn
has already spent over $4,000 on his
place. and intends making it his home
for the greater part of the year.

FOR THE BABY.
A Valuable Hint to Every Father and
Mother


There are two kinds of babies in the
world; the kind who have too little
nourishment and the kind who have
too much.
The first kind of babies starve be-
cause their stomachs are too weak to
digest the amount of food necessary for
their growth and healthful development
and the other kind are overfed with the
result that the delicate stomach and
1ntestines are infiamed and as every
mother knows, thousands of infants die
yearly when warm weather begins, from
stomach and bowel disorders.
Opiates, soothing syrups and ca
tharticS however, mild, are not what is
demanded. Go to the root of the trou-
bic, assist the child's digestion, give the
little stomach the aid necessary to
thoroughly and promptly digest its food
and the little one will thrive and grow
and gladden. the mothers heart
To give perfect digestion to the child
1t is only necessary to give in a pleas
ant form the harmless digestiveS con-
tanned in the we'll known tablets sold
in drug stores under the name of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. Stuart's Tab
lets contain no so called drugs, but are
composed of pepsin, pure aseptic, fruit
acids, starch digestives and are put up
in lOZenge form, with sugar of milk
very pleasant to the taste and have
been used for years as the safest best
remedy for any form of indigestion and
stomach troubles in adults but recent
Iy many remarka BILE cures have been
made in the cases of weakly babies who
failed to grow and thrive as they
should.
A Buffalo mother a short time ago
who despaired of the life of her babe
was so delighted with the results from
giving the child these tablets that she
went before the notary public of Erie
Co, N. Y, and made the following am
davit:
Gentlemen:-Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets were recommended to me for my
two months old baby, which was sick
and puny and the doctors said was suf-
fering from indigestion. 1 took the
child to the hospital, but there found no
relief A friend mentioned the Stuart
Tablets and I procured a box from nv
druggist and used only the large sweet
lozenges in the box and was delighted
to lind they were just the thing for my
baby.
I feel justified in saying that stuart's
dyspepsia Tablets saved my child's life.

For babies, no matter how young or
delicate, the tablets will accomplish
wonders in increasing flesh, appetite
and growth. Use only the large sweet
tablets in every box. Full sized boxes
are sold by all druggists for so cents,
and no parent should neglect the use of
this safe remedy for all stomach and
bowel troubles if the child is ailins in
any way regarding its food or assimili-
ton.

known for years as the best preparation
for all stomach troubles whether in
adults or infants.

HERDING ON BICYCLES.
Went Well at First But There Came
Day of Reckoning.

Minnesota, S. D., Aug. Add cattle
men say the funniest thing they ever
saw in all their experience on the ranges
was the spectacle of Nick Roonan who
was Scorching ahead of a big herd of
stampeded cattle he had unsuccessful
ly attempted to turn on his bike. 1t
happened on R. B. Mosely's ranch, on
the north bank of the upper fork of
the Cheyenne river.
MoseIy had frequently remarked on
the increasing popularity of the silent
steed and expressed deep interest in the
accounts of its Introduction in the arm
les of the world.
Finally he concluded it would do
equally well for his cattle punchers if
it were fit for military purposes. He
prudently refrained from Withdrawing
all his ponies from commission but
equipped a dozen men with strongly
built wheels and started them out on
the range as the complement of his
force of bronco busters
Nick ROOnan, the champion among
the ScOrcherS, brought discredit on the
bike at last through his own over anx-
iety to distinguish himself. Something
stampeded the herd one day last week
and the cowboys hustled out to head
the animals off ere they scattered all
over the northwestern part of the state.
The foreman of the outfit rightly con-
occurred that cycles would be at dis
count in this service and directed the
wheelmens brigade to remain in camp
While the bronco riders checked the
flight of the cattle.
Roonan didn't like this idea. He
thought he could do as much as any
one to turn the stampede. He was very
quickly in the saddle and pedaling fur
iously after his comrades. No one ever
claimed the ponies could keep pace
with a hurrying cyclist. ROonan dis
tanced them in few minutes, kept up
his gait until we'll in advance of the
herd, wheeled at right angles to his
original course and started to ride
across the front of the herd, swinging
his hat and yelling like a mailman to
stop them.
But the cattle didn't stop. Had Roo
nan been mounted on a pony he might
have mingled with the foremost of the
cattle and kept up with them until the
panic was checked. On a wheel he
quickly saw he would be overthrOwn
and trampled to a pulp. Without a
word he turned toward the Short Pine
hills and scorched for safety as he
never scorched before. The cattle were
laundering behind him, believing like
mad. The hoTsemen We're so weak with
laughter that they nearly fell from their
saddles and even Romans fellow eye
lists could not restrain their mirth. The
hero of the adventure had no difficulty
in maintaining first place until the
stampede was broken and the cattle
safely rounded up.

This article is said to voice the feel
ing of the members of the Social De-

propose to build along those lines I'M
til the next national campaign is on.
Mr.. Debs has said that the socialists
never fuse nor compromise and that
the Social Democracy will never order
a retreat. OF the future of the organ
ization, Chairman DebS said yesterday:
I'VE have progressed beyond our eX-
pectations. Organizations have been
planted in II states and today we have
applications from several new states.
Among the applications is one from
London, Ont, showing that the propo-
SitiOn of cooperation is meeting with
favor outside of the United States.
1.-THE preliminary work, that of APP
pointing the commission which is to
select the site for the first colony, has
been finished and we believe that we
have secured the best material that
could be had in the reform movement.
No restrictions will be placed on the
commission, nor will any suggestions
be offered its members. They are free
to go where their minds direct. In this
way we expect to have a report from
them that will be practical and which
the Social Democracy can depend up
on.
81 might reiterate that we are not
going to start an army of mendicantS
across the country; but, on the contra
ry, are going to send to some state
body of men that will be respectable,
one which no state will ever be sorry
for having received
