DR. HEBRON ON WEALTH.
The Apostle of Socialism and His
 New Teachings in Iowa.

Grinnell, Ia., Sept 16-Dr George D. Heron, we'll known as Chris tian socialist, has just returned after year on the continent, spent in study and rest. Considerable inter- est is expressed here at the course the doctor will pursue in his college teachings. He has said that his teach ing this year would be entirely diff ferent from what it had heretofore been. This is construed to mean that he will be less severe in his attacks upon wealth.
 President George A. Gates is still in Europe, although college begins next week and the suit of the Ameri- can Book company against him, for $100,000 damages, is set for October. He is evidently not afraid of the suit
 Word has been received here that L. W. Shear, known in Iowa as J. c. Vigneaux, has left Atlanta, Ga, quite suddenly, under the same cloud as when he left here some time ago. He was then in the employ of the North western Mutual Insurance company in Grinnell, but one night quite sud- denly deserted, leaving some notes that were alleged to be falsifed and numerous bad debts. The company found him, or he found the company, and he was put to work for it aga. n in Atlanta.

GA cannon. repeated the officer.

"A cannon, repeated the officer.
 "I,emme go an' see it,'' said the old soldier excitedly.
 They walked over to it and around it. The old maa felt of 1t and said: "They cut 1t out'l stone, didn't they?"
 "No, this is a regular cannon, said MT. Bailey, made of iron; used ln the war"
 The old man poked at it awhile longer and then observed. Well, I'll be cussed: I fit through the war an seen every kind of a firearm from a hoss pistol up, but dam'fi ever seen sich gun as that. What aTe-1hey hg- gerin' on hittin' with it? We'll, Th be darned"
 The officer had a Republican in his pocket containing picture of a Phoe- nix dog hunt, in which the plaza and the cannon appear. He showed the old man the cannon In the picture. ''Kin I have the paper?" he asked. Be ing told he could, he said he wanted to send it back home. He sat down on the pedestal of the cannon and drew a line from the picture of the city hall building to the margin of the paper, on which he wrote. "This is the seat of government" another from each an elderberry tree, an olive tree and an umbrella tree, designating them also. Then he drew another line from the picture of the cannon to the margin and wrote with his stump of lead pencil, 'This is a 'leven inch gIn"

MRS. M'NULTY's FUNERAL.
A Woman Who Was Loved in Phoenix
 for Quarter of a Century.

The funeral of Mrs. W. F. McNulty, who died on Tuesday afternoon, took place at 4 o'clock yesterday from the residence of the family It was at tended by long procession of friends and by the members of the G. A. R., of which her husband is member.
 The death of Mrs. McNulty was no. unexpected She had been a sufferer for two years and not long ago she submitted to a difficult surgical op- eration in the hope of obtaining relief. The cause of the disease was not re- moved and she steadily sank lower and lower Mir. W. F. McNulty and Miss Harriet E. Wharton were mar ried in Kansas more than a quarter of century ago. Four years later they came to Phoenix, which could then be hardly called even an outpost of civilization. The deceased grew into the growing town and became a part of it. Her lovable disposition at tracted all toward her and though new and diversified elements came into Phoenix, Mrs McNulty was hard ly less widely and none the less favorably known than she had been in the early days of the city. Her later days were sad ones, darkened by the deaths of her brothers, Henry and Horatio Wharton. Three children are left orphans by her death.

IN JAIL FOR DEBT.
A Boy at Superior Jailed for a Small
 Debt

West Superior, Wis, Sept. 16.- Byron, Quinn, a boy 15 years of age. has been released from jail on ha- beas corpus proceedings. There are some interesting details in connection with the case. Quinn was trying to drive horses out of his mothers yard, and, it is alleged, threw an ax at one and injured it so that it had to be killed. R. w. Pritchard, the owner. brought suit and secured judgment for $50. A tort execution was issued on this, and the boy thrown into jail. Habeas corpus proceedings were brought and the court commissio CT decides that Quinn, being under age. cannot be imprisoned for a. debt con- tracted, and that a1 infant cannot legally be taken on a body execution.
 The case involves some points of law on which the Wisconsin courts have never ruled. The Prtchard at torneys are certain to ask Judge Vinje to review the proceedings, and will ask him to reverse the commissioner. Either side can appeal from the cir cult judge to the supreme court on a writ of error, and it is stated that this is to be done.

INDEPENDENCE OF MEXICO
Celebration of the Eighty-Seventh
 Anniversary

The eighty-seventh anniversary of Mexican independence was celebrated at Tempe yesterday with greater en- thusiasm than it was ever done be- fore. This was wholly on account of the more complete organization of the Spanish American alliance there The celebration was attended by many from Phoenix, including Governor McCord, Chief Justice Truesdale, Secretary Akers, Superink endent Shewman, Senor Navarro, the Mexican consul to Phoenix, and others. These gentlemen were met at the depot by an alliance committee and escorted to the public and normal schools, and afterward to the residence of MT. and Mrs. George N. Gage, where luncheon was served. Long before the cele bration had been begun by the playing of Mexican airs on the plaza. A lec- ture upon the declaration of indepen- dence was read by Senor J. R. En- cinas. Then followed a speech by Senor Noriego. According to custom, the celebration was divided into two parts. It was resumed at o'clock in the afternoon by a concert on the plaza. Then followed the usual pro cession, the ceremonies closing with the following programme:
 Mexican national hymn, band.
 Address in Spanish, Samuel Brown.
 National hymn, sung by several young ladies.
 Address in English, H. z. Zuck
 Address, Rudolfo Olea.
 "Hymno Hidalgo," sung by the chill dren.
 Address, Jose Samaniego.
 Song, LOS Marinos," by the chil- dren.
 There was a grand ball at Kings bury hall at Tempe last <light. There was another here. The opera house was gaily decorated m the Mexican colors and the black-eyed, raven winged haired daughters and dreamy eyed sons of the southern republic danced until long after midnight. Thus Hidalgo was remembered.

THIS IS A GUN.
But an Old Grand Army Man Hardly
 Recognized It.

Recognized It.
 An old man dressed in Grand Army uniform strolled up Washington street yesterday afternoon taking in every thing in sight. He sat down on the edge of the city hall fountain watch ing the gold fish and trees alternately. 'Howdy do," he said as Officer Steve Bailey came up. "This is a cur'us country" he added. There's them umbrella trees, them oleander trees same kind we raise in the house in flower pots back east. They're big as apple trees out here. Then there's them elder berry trees. Why, up in our country they ain't no bigger'n bushes. They tell me they're green here the hull year rouId." The old man told the officer he lived dn Ohio; had got to Phoenix last Monday and everything was different from any thing he had ever seen before. What's that stump over there? What do they let it stand here fOr?" asked the old man, pointing at the 11-inoh Columbiad trained ol the zenith.
 "That's a gun," said the officer; Ia cannon'
