The father had been i'll for long time and the support of the family devolved upon the mother, whose exertions were nAt sufficient 10 supply necessary food ana thought he saw in the sweet little girl the child so vaguely described by Hunt.
 He was authorized to say that the baby would be given a good home and would be made Hunts he:ress. It was a tempting offer, but the Thompsons could not at first bring themselves to accept it. Al length their solicitude for the welfare of the baby overcame parental feelings and they decided to let her go. Beside the one little mouth less to feed and the one little
 body less to clothe would Tighten the
 burden by so much
 Hunt arrived in town yesterday morning. As soon as he saw the child | he was pleased with the judgment of Steele. Accompanied by the little one
 and her parents he went into probate court to comply with the legal for malities. The father looked sorrowful
 and longingly at the child. In spite
 Of the mothers brave attempt to re-
 press her feelings, her chin uuivered and her eyes often filled. "It is best for her," said she; "and maybe I can see her once in a long sime." "Oh. yes," said Hunt kindly; 'I'll arrange that"
 It was at his own suggestion that clause was inserted conferring upon the child the right of inheritance, which, though not unusual, is more frequently omitted. When the pro ceedings were over and the parties filed out of court there were only four of the Thompson children It was little like returning from a cemetery. But the parents were comforted by he reflection that their lost little one would never more be cold and hungry, that she was going to a good home. Still all parents who lcse little 5-year-old babes ought to be comforted by a like reflection. They all go to a 1 happy home. MT. Hunt and Mary Alice left for the north last night.

TOOK BACK THE POWER.
The City Council Repeals Ordinance
 No. 265.

The city council made a sudden move las night. Councilmen Moss, Gang and Dyer congrega.ed without warning and revoked the authority they lately gave the mayor to remove city employees. The action does not really alter the situation in any way, for it is ehe opinion of most attorneys that the council could not delegate the power given to the mayor
 The city marshal was directed 10 re- quest all tenants of the legislative CT upper floor of the cfsy hall to vacate at once, as the premises gre ne,sded for city officials.
 Councilman Gang strongly rec0m- mended sample of stree. raveme t by laying coa, of decompo:ed granite or gravel from three to six inches thick on Washington street beginning at the eaS1 line of Second street and running to the west line of First street. He estima: ed that uhs est would hardly exceed 50 cents per square foot. Judge Kibbsy de- cided that the consent of a majority of property owners on bo.h sides of the street along the pavement instead of a majority on each side of the street would be sufficient to authorize a paving contract

KICKS ON THE STREETS.
But. Then, How About the Glorious
 Weather?

MT. A. Vanderwort, who comes to Arizona twice a year in the interest Of big Boston wool house, thought that the inventors of the sheep shear ing apparatus would find difficulties in shearing some animals of this class for the reason that there were more or less tough places to go over. How ever, this may be overcome. Any way, the machines save ten to fifteen per cent of wool and the poor animal comes out of the operation with clean scalp, as it were. What wor- Tier MT. VandeTIwor, most wasi streets of Phoenix
 Why don't the city crown it's s-res.s and have an outlet into the sewer for the drainage?" suggested the iftleL but active, wool buyer.
 Why, the country reads will dss- count the city streets, and were it otherwise there would be small par cent of people to kick about them then as theg dc against Phoenix thoroughfares. Your weather is all right, but I cannot forgive the Phoenix people for allowing their streets to remain in their present condition"

The Russian Occupation of Port Arthur is Only Temporary-Eng- lish War Ships will Also be Ad- mittea by Chinese Government.

 AS regards Port Arthur, the Russian fleet, according to the same author ity, is only there for winter quarters and statements as to the Russian oc- cupation are unfounded- China is willing that the; English warsh ps should anchor there if required.

Rare Specimens Bagged by a Farmer
 Near Charleston, III.

Charleston, H., Jan. 31.-George W. Olmsted, farmer, living five miles east of this city, today shot a, gray eagle measuring seven feet from tip to tip.
 Olmsted was searching for miss ing lamb when he noticed the eagle lowering in the air over a field in which were a number of sheep and lambs. He at once decided that the eagle had carried off one lamb and had returned for another.
 He ran to the house for his gun and returned to the field just. in time to shoot the big bird as it was about to swOop down upon its second victim.
 The eagle. is the largest that has been in this section for many years
