TO THE PUBLIC.

It has been said that I have been arrested for receiving orders and de- posits on carpets, etc., and not filling them. This is a lie made from whole cloth have never been arrested in my life for anything connected with my carpet business. I have been ar rested on three occasions by Mexi- cans in regard to pictures. I received 50 cents from each and the pictures were ordered, but had not arrived. My last arrest was by a discharged Mexican agent of mine who had col lected S6.50 on pictures from several Mexicans and had lost his order book enabling me to fill the orders. He then wanted me to return him the S65O This I refused to do, as the people held my receipts for the amount, but I asked him to go with me in my buggy and show me where the parties lived and I would refund them the money and take up my re- ceipts This he refused to do, and refused to turn him over the money. Hence my arrest by him claiming the money as his, and then he came into court and said it was not his. want to say here can call more than 200 people in this city that have given me orders for carpets and have paid from $2.75 to $75 as deposit and got their goods, and first-class goods at that and I never compel people to take what they order unless they are cut goods and made to order. I am receiving orders every day from some of the best people in this cIty. From this date I shall sell lace curtains from AZ cents per pair up. All wool carpet 45 cents per yard; linoleum (genuine) 45 cents per yard up; Brussels 75 cents per yard tip; and every order intrusted to me will be filled

SIX BITS DOG TAG.
A Stranger Led Astray by an Unusual
 Canine Name

Jim Rennie has dog which in an inspired moment he named Six-Bits. At the opening of the dog killing season brass tag, the badge of safety was attached to Six-Bits' collar. He wore it until a few days ago, when some one stole it. MT. Rennie sent to the city hall after duplicate. The messenger got it, but forgot to de- liver it at once. The other day he was riding along the street and the sight of MT. Rennie on the sidewalk reminded him of his forgotten com mission. He rode to the curbstone and handing the tag to MT. Rennie said. Here's that tag for Six-Bits." ;" A stranger who had lately moved to town. witnessed the transaction. That reminds me-" he said, 'Sthat I must get license for my dog I'll go and get it right away. Where do you go?" He was directed to the city collectors office. When the tag and receipt were given him he put the one into his trousers pocket and folding the other up without reading it, put it into his vest pocket. He handed 75 cents to the collector in payment. Keep coming" said Collector Long.
 Flows that" asked the stranger.
 "I want $1.25 more," said the col 1ector.
 Do you mean that dog tags are S2?" asked the stranger On being told that he had guessed the collect or's meaning the first dash cut of the box. he grew indignant. "How many prices have your" inquired the stranger. Do you think you're going to work me because I haven't grown up with the country?" MT. Long an- swered him that there were two prices regulated by the sex of the dog to be tagged; the lowest price was $2. q know a blessed sight better said the stranger with growing indig- l nation. Less than ten minutes ago I saw tag that had been bought here for six bits.
 The collector understood at once; he sat down to laugh; he arose and leaned across his desk and laughed. He called Recorder Jobs and Jim Gib- ! son in to help him laugh Meanwhile | the stranger was growing furious, manifesting tendency toward a per sonal assault upon MT Long. At length it was explained to him that his statement was literally correct, A dog tag had been sold for Six-Bits. That was the dogs Christian name.

THE NEW SUNSET LIMITED
The Chicago-San Francisco Service
 Will Be Put on October 2.

The Chicago Times-Herald of last Sunday says of the Sunset limited ser vice between Chicago and San Fran cisco: "The Sunset Limited,' the Southern Pacifc's palatial train which operates between the east and Califor- nia during the winter months, is to be run this season out of Chicago in stead of through New Orleans.
 ''The first trip will be begun Oc- tober 2S. It is probable that bi- weekly service will be maintained un- til about May 1, 1S9S The Southern Pacifc's reason for changing the route is not stated. The train will leave Chicago over the Alton, run over the Iron Mountain and Texas Pacific, and connect with the Southern Pacific at Fl Paso.
 'This new routing of the winter train likely will prevent recurrence of the serious trouble of last winter, consequent upon the Southern Pacific charging less from the east to San Francisco through New Orleans than was charged through Chicago and St. Louis. The Southern Air Line, which stood the shrinkage last year, is cut out of the route Eastern lines will tender the same rates to all, and west ern competitors of the Huntington road will be in position to meet all competition
 The Republican enjoys the distinc- tion of having announced the opening of this service a week in advance of any other newspaper in the United States

THE GRAND CANON.

The Grand Canon Stage company ot Flagstaff is now prepared to handle any number of passengers for the Grand Canon. Hundreds of visitors will no doubt make this trip this sum- mer. For all visitors who are now in Arizona, we can only say that to return home without visiting this grandest of all pieces of Gods handiwork would be an act that they would always regret The scenery cannot be surpassed in any part of the world-grand- sublime, awe-inspiring- and well worth a trip across the continent to visit. Do not miss it.
 Parties holding return tickets cas- with stop-over privileges en route should by all means visit the Grand Canon from Flagstaff. upon their re- turn.

to the school fund as in section H. There is but one provision in this en- tire act which authorizes cent to be paid to any official, and that is found in section IT, which authorizes the payment by the territorial auditor for books and blanks either to the super intendent of public instruction or to the clerk of the board of supervisors upon proper acquisitions. The idea of the legislature seems to have been to sacredly guard any moneys received by the board of supervisors from the leasing of school lands.'

TWAS A LABOR OF LOVE.
The Supervisors Receive No Pay fol
 Leasing the School Lands.

The supervisors have discovered that their work in attending to the leasing of the school lands was labor of love. The amount appropriated for the pay ment of regular meetings of the board has been exhausted. The school land leases entailed considerable additional labor, making more meetings neces- sary. The board believed that they might be paid for this extra work out Of the funds derived from the leases. Clerk Gray of the board lately ad- dressed a communication on the sub ject to MT. A. P. Snowman, the terri torial superintendent of public in- struction. MT. Snowman referred the matter to Attorney-General Frazier, who yesterday gave out an official opinion, the gist of which is that no part of this fund can be diverted from the school fund.- The attornev-general reviews at considerable length the history of the land lease law, an act of congress and the subsequent act of the territorial legislature, prescribing the manner in which the leases shall be effected.
 Section IS, which appears to be plain and decisive, is as follows
 ''The supervisors shall at the end of each month pay into the ter ritorial treasury all money collected and must state in their report to the treasurer the amount of funds re- ceived from school lands and the amount from university lands
 The attorneys general continues as follows: Section il provides that the S1 collected for executing a lease shall be turned over to the schoo fund. Section 13 also provides tha any money collected for certified cop ies of records by the clerk of the board
 oi supervisors shall be turned ovel

MUSICAL NOTES.

Never before in the history Of Phoe- nix has there been such number of first-class professional musicians united in their efforts to raise the standard of music. Such efforts should be encouraged by all lovers of music and culture by liberal patron age of the initial concert of the season at the opera house Friday night in which a combined effort is being made to represent each branch of music in its highest perfection. Some of the most pleasing effects of the pro- gramme are; A song by Sonora Gal lando, with a cello obligato; violin solo by Senor Manzo, entitled, ''The Bird on the Tree" with which he has charmed thousands of his hearers into the widest ecstacy. Selections of Spanish music on the harp with bril- liant obligato on guitar by Miss Acosta and Professor Mango. Ben jamin Godard's latest and grandest production for violoncello will be
 played by Professor Blondin, late of the Casino orchestra of Paris. Mrs. Felger Of St. Petersburg, Russia, one of Paderewsli's musical schoolmates, will preside at the piano, while Pro- lessor Manzo will show the wonderful capabilities of the guitar by two of the most brilliant solos ever written for that instrument sHThe Goddess of Venus and Prom Earth to Heaven" :"
