 The social at the school house Thursday night was a thoroughly en- joyed affair, though the attendance was decreased by the threatened storm The price of admission was "your earliest portrait" and the pictures thus collected formed an art gallery that perplexed some, delighted others and amused everybody. Some of the pie tures were interesting as human docu- ments, though " G- ~-l ',crized to state that none will azpar in Nc Clure's.

 There is something almost uncanny in the absorbing interest that the mem bers of the local peace party manifest in the course of the war. It is cer- tainly not patriotism for some of them are yet subjects of the queen. It can't be general interest in current events for rare is the paper that has their names on its list, but they camp on the trail of some unfortunate subscrib- CT until they get the latest from the front. Such manifestations poison confidence in human nature.

CHA BEND.
Stirred to the Depths by Storm but
 Still On Deck.

Gila Bend, Ariz., July 16.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican.)- Last night this region was visited by storm that walked away with many things, including the prize for storms of the first class, It was a wind storm and the following are few of the evidences that it meant business:
 It lifted the house of Judge Kelten- bach, carried it quietly Jver and set it up slanuwise against the old home of Dr. Crocker.
 It took the postoffice building from its foundation and set it cn the ground alongside, as if to show to the world that it had had foundation | and that the fact should not be for gotten.
 It took the house of MT. ROebuck, turned it almost half way around and left it that way almost as if saying to
 it, You have remained in enc posi- l tion long enough; try another place. !"
 It took a dislike to the kitchen of ] Coyle's hotel and blew it down, leav- 1 ing no stick upon another.
 It blew one shed across the rail-
 road track, and in doing this included the telegraph wire in the mis- hief. The ! latter was partially replaced and in
 operation when along came train
 and cut the wire into measuring
 pieces.
 Roofs, parts of roofs, and fences are scattered everywhere over the town.
 and some of them have gone on ex-
 ploring expeditions across the desert 'I It was a terrible wind storm and for
 quite awhile the people were con-
 vinced that the end of all things had arrived. There is no doubt excite ment of a high order in facing an am bush laid by Spaniards in the breaks and fens of Cuba, but for pure unadul- terated excitement there can be noth , ing compared to an Arizona wine
 storm when it means business ant !, proceeds to carry it's meaning into et' feet.
 It will take some time for the tOWI to recover from the blow. Hon. l.. Keltenbach has received r permission from the board of super = visors to leave the territory for 5 we'll earned vacation from his judicia ) cares. Heretofore our justices hav' 3 gone away without asking permission 5 in fact, without knowing that sucl t asking was necessary. But the judg @ being careful man, consulted tn s law and discovered that the law pro a vides that county officers shall no

territorial authorities to prevent in- lection. An editorial in the Denver Stockman, one of the very best live stock dailies in the west, sizes up the situation in the following vigorous lines:
 If there is one thing a western state or territory is jealous about it is the reputation of it's livestock for health. A false report about a con- tagious disease among cattle or sheep will make all the stockmen in the ter ritory get up and prance. If there is one territory more particular than any other on this point it is Arizona. They are so particular down there that they will not even allow cattle known to be infected with cattle ticks to go through the territory on a train run ming fifty miles an hour the whole dis tance. This being so, it can be imag- ined how excited the people down there were recently when the report got in- to circulation that the government was talking of quarantining some of the southern counties of the territory be- cause some alleged tick cattle had come over from Mexico Of course there was no truth in the report. If
 
 in Arizona it is done by the territory long before the government could pos sibly get around to it. The report in question was probably due to the fact | that some ticky cattle had been dis covered by Arizona inspectors, trying to get into the territory They did not get in, however, and all the quar- antining done was by the territory against certain Mexican cattle against which a suspicion had been raised. Arizona is taking no chances in any stage of the game, and the result of this care is shown in the confidence the cattlemen of the north have in cattle that come from Arizona. There was when an inspector from Nebraska an- nounced the startling information that | he had found some ticks on a bunch of Arizona cattle brought here by i Clay, Robinson & Go. The bare an- nouncement caused incredulous laugh 1 ter and John Clay, Jr., who was here at the time, offered to pay the inspect or $50 per tick for every one he could [ find on the cattle and in addition to hire a man to help him hunt for them. Of course MT. Clay did not get any ticks, even at the price offered. With Arizona, the care and caution taken is business, and while it sometimes works hardship and seems unjust, it is the only thing that makes it possible for Arizona cattle to go to the north ern markets on an equality with other cattle"

once went up a queer howl of queer ness all over the country and one queer man in congress introduced queer resolution containing the thanks of that queer body rendered to Schley. At once, too, the queer newspapers of the country began to pump hot shot at Sampson for an alleged effort on his part to take unto himself that which belonged alone to Schley.
 ''This was all queer when you con- slider that Sampson had as yet made no report at all other than the tele- graphic one of the principal fact Of the destruction. Now we know that credit can and will be given alone to these entitled to it. 1t is queer that
 people cannot wait until the hand is
 played out before accusing a player Of 'negging.'
 Many persons throughout the cCun- try thought it was queer ho enlist eastern dude millionaires into the army society of our western cowboys.
 and many others thought that these young men were queer for so enlist ing. Nearly everybody looked for queer results from the effort to- anal
 gamate these natunes so inconsistent 1 with each other. The results were
 not long in coming. Before these
 young men had learned the difference 1 between balance your partner and | right shoulder shift they, in com pany with the rough and tough and ready plainsmen, were ordered for
 ward into a seething mouth of hell at
 La Quasina, and into the fiery pits ol destruction at Fl Caney. Queer! Queer to the world. They faced death they met the dark herald of the htre- ] after with smiles on their lips, the spirit of heroes in their hearts, fingers
 on trigger, never faltering, waiting no for the order to forward but witt Il heads up and eyes from, on the run
 they gave an exhibition of American ism that has won the plaudits of world that can sometimes stop lons enough in it's ceaseless round O
 oueerness to bestow a smile upon he roes that means more than the r1bboI
 of the legion of honor.
 "Tihe queer thing about it is tha
 it has taken the world long time t'
 learn that a dude can fight, that mil
 lionaire need not, because of hi
 money be a weakling, that cash ant clothes, cologne and cigarettes ar not altogether the badges of cowardic and indicative of lack of patriotism. And another queer thing about i all lies in the fact-cne to be prout of-that the youngest nation of then all has taught the lesson.
 'T am queer enough to believe tha ! inside of the next quarter of a cen tury the United States will teach tn nations of the earth that among then it is the first, there to remain at tn head of the class until another Noa is advised to build an ark. And it vii T be mighty queer if some of the pas sengers on that craft be not true blu . Americans.

 No man has ever left Gila Bend who was more genuinely missed than is O.. l.. Pease, our station agent until his enlistment Everybody here was glad to hear of his promotion and his fal- low citizens feel sure that if he is given any kind of opportunity he will walk right up the line. He is our only soldier boy and all Gila Bend is proud of him and will watch his mili- tary career with great interest. The station duties are being attended to by Mrs. O. l.. Pease and everything is working in such a systematic manner that, officially, Pease's absence is net felt at all.
 It is warm here, but at this season this is looked for, and, unlike Phoenix and other places in the southern zone, one hears no complaint about heat. It is taken as a matter of course by the philosophic population of this burg.

5 GOOD TEMPlARS. 3
NOTES.

c. O. Austin, the Good Templar evangelist who has spent a couple of weeks in northern Arizona in the in terest of the order. returned on Wednesday last, and reports very pleasant trip as we'll as most profit able one. In fact, he Said he would not object to an engagement in that section lasting throughout ths sum- mer. As mentioned last week, he ln- stituted a strong lodge in Jerome with some forty charter members, after which he returned to Prescott to work for and instruct the lodge there. In this he was eminently successful and left the lodge much strengthened and encouraged. But probably the most important work accomplished was the organization of Volunteer Military lodge No. 1 in Governor McCord's reg iment of volunteers, now stationed at Whipple The boys entered into the scheme enthusiastically, and upwards of fifty names were soon secured. The officers of this, the first military lodge in the territory, are: J. P. Welles, Jr c. T.; Professor B. M. Lamson, V. T.; H. c. Johnson, secretary; P. D. McRae
 F. S.; Harry Troops, T.: James Des- mond, M; Bert M. Loughead, O.; Vic
 tor D. Mathers, A. s.; J. A. Arnold
 G.; J. s. Hardwick, S.; H. I. Nash | lodge deputy. The laws of the order 1 provide for the organization of mili 1 tary lodges, with charters permitting them to move with the regiment tt other states and yet remain in th'
 jurisdiction of the grand lodge issuing
 the charter. It is also provided tha
 members of the order may become
 honorary members of military lodge
 without severing their connection witl
 the home lodge.

THE PHILOSOPHER.

"The oueerness of things in this world is queer in many ways. Hora- tio neve. even dared to dream in his philosophy Of the many queer things he was informed were of both heaven and earth and beyond his knowledge or his dreaming. Some people go through life. from the cradle to the grave, all the time wondering what others are laughing at. Others, on the contrary, sac something to laugh at while attending the funeral of a friend or dear relative. Then again you will find persons who are constantly fur nishing amusement for their friends and acquafntances, all the time bliss fully unconscious of the fact that they are either funny or ridiculous. I might go on indefinitely cataloguing the different classes in respect to such things, but d few will suffice to lead up to few questions, nCticeably In connection with the war.
 "Asan illustration of the aptitude of the masses to be queer in bunch the present var furnishes several exam pies. A strong, but suppressed cur rent of feeling was for some time ready to burst into flame because of Deweys supposed dilatoriness with reference to the Philippines. It was known that he was at Hong Kong. It was known that he was expected to strike fatal blow to Spain at Manila. Yet weeks elapsed and no word came to these shores of the lifting of one of Dewey's little fingers. Paragraphs from time to time appeared in some of 10 Q c h1nyU-nff n the accumuIaAing stsam pressure. And yet Dewey made no move. Just as the storm was about to burst forth in all of it's fury Dewey went boldly into the a1arbor Of Cavite, and between meals made himself famous, enriched his country and almost ended the war.
 ''The queer thing about this is that all of the bottled up criticism of Dewey went off in fizz, even before it became known that his delay had been occaSioned by the simple fact that he lacked powder and shell with which to lombard a secondhand woodshed
 Another queer thing about it is that when it became known that he risked his entire squadron and the lives of all of his men by taking the chance of escaping the mines of the : Rarbor not sound of criticism was heard in the land. Suppose the mines had worked and blown him and his squadron to atoms, would the critics have remained silent? That would have furnished queerness.
 ''Take the destruction of Cervera's feet. Sampson was miles away wher the affair took place. It was all ovel and ended when he arrived upon the spot He cabled a report to Washing ton that the ships of his command had entirely destroyed Cervera's feet. Al
