Are You an Athlete?

An Athletic Primer" is the Oc tober number of Spsuloing's Ath- letic Library. The book IS publish ed for the American Athletic Union, and is especially designed for the guidance of those who are athletic ally inclined and yet do not know what steps to take towards the form ation of a club or the construction of grounds.
 The benefits to be gained from systematic exercise are incalculable, and the subject of physical educa- ton, which is receiving so much at tentlon in schools and colleges, is the result of agitation such as the 4. A. U is now engaged in.
 The A. 4. U. is a national organi- zation of amateur athletes, and IS the recognized governing body for all athletic sports in the United States.
 Further information on this sub ject may be obtained from J. E, Sullivan, the secretary, Is & IS Park Place, NY.

The Big Wallace Shows.

The circus has 0pme aud gone. Owing to the accident which hap pened to the train at Kirkland it was f o'clock before the parade was on the streets. The street pageant was a grand affair, the magnificent horses being particularly the sub ject of very many compliments. NIT. Wallace does not have a poor horse in his entire outfit.
 The afternoon performance lasted Jill after : o'clock in the evening and there was not a single act ad- vertised that was not produced. The chilly atmosphere ot the evening kept a considerable number away but the attendance was good and everybody came away well pleased. Among the many attractions given, the Nelson iarnily's performance was the most highly appreciated by the audience. MT. Wallace has a standing offer of Sl0OO0 for any combination Tn the United Slater or Europe that will equal this family, but up to date none has appeared to claim the money.
 The Wallace shows are without doubt the greatest on the road to- day and he eau always be assured ol a big attendance at any time be visits Prescott, though If he should come wher the weather IS warmer than it was yesterday and last night the attendance would be very con- siderably increased,
 The shows will appear at Flag staff today, at Gallup on Friday and at Albuquerque on Saturday and from the latter place they will go to MT. Wallace's home at Peru, In diana, to go into winter quarters.

Ever since the battle of Manila bay foreign governments have made efforts to obtain from thiS country the secret O. the wonderful prof ciency in firing which the gunners of the American navy have attained. Naval attaches m Washington have ben particularly active in seeking information about the method of training the men behind the guns. the cost of such training measured by the amount of money expended for target practice, the character of tho gunners, how long it took to at ail efficiency and all other data belring on the subject. After the naval Battle If Santiago the inquir- les Uf the the attaches became more numerous, and since active hostili- ties ended the navy department has been importuned with great diplo- mallc persistency.
 Heretofore It has been customary for the United States government to furnish freely any such informa- tion 70 foreign saval military at taches in Washington, but there mas never been a reciprocal ex. change Of data.

DEATH OF JAMES STEWART.
A Former We'll Known Arizonan
 Passes Away in California.

The Sau Bernard.no, California, Sun of November 3, chronicles the death on that day of James Stewart whose name will be recalled as a former resident of Prescott in the days gone by. The deceased resid- ed in this city for many years. and was a pioneer whose life in good fellowship and charitable deeds was without a blemish. The above pa- per in speaking of the sad event says:
 MT. Stewart had been for years one Of the we'll known and substan lial citizens of the valley. His splendid ranch oi ever 2OO acres lies just south of the city, aId d there for years he has been engaged in raising blooded stock. His home has been one of the hospitable places of the valley. whiie he has numbered among his friends tLe leading men of this city.
 Mir. Stewart was a native of Penn sylvaUia, where he was born in 1857. At the age Of Is years he started west, l,cating in Nebraska in early days. He was in Omaha when there were but twelve houses there in the place. He bought government land in Nebraska, but subsequently, dis posed of his interests there and operated on the plains with head quarters at St. Joseph and Leayen- worth, then at Denver, and later at Salt Lake, Georgetown, Colorado, and in Idaho. He began as stage driver and finished as a psymsstsr and superintendent of the Northern Overland Stage line, and for Wells, Fargo & Cos. Express.
 The projection of railroads put an end to stage routes, and be resigned. He then came to California and staged from California to Prescott, Arizona, and on different lines to the Colorado river. Alter this he had charge of line from Tucson to Tombstone aud from Mineral Park, Arizona. to Pioehe, Nevada, and other mail routes. He was in tte stage business for thirty years, aud has seen as much of the real Pra ,ti- cal side of life as almost any man ID the west. He could tell many thrilling stories of the dangers aad experiences Of pioneer days.
 In 1882 he was married, and in 1886 came to San Bernard.no to make his home. H. widow, Mrs.
 : A. Stewart, survives him.
 iIr. Stewart has been ailing for 8, ral months, aud within the past three weeks has grown much worse. so that the fatal termination of his illness was not unexpected to his friends.
 The funeral will be held from his late residence, Friday morning st 9:30. The remains will be sent east al noon by the Santa Fe overland, and will be inferred in his native state.

Killing in Tucson.

Ed Jones, colore1, was shot in the Cactus saloon Saturday night and died Tn few moments. E. Miller, barkeeper in the saloon, who fired the fatal shot, surrendered to the authorities at once, An inquest was held thls morning and the testimony of several witnesses was taken. Al agreed that Jones had given Miller great provocation, finally threaten ing to smash him with a cuspidor, also making a movement toward his hip pocket as if to draw a gun. Till this occurred, the witnesses agreed that Miller had been most patient and forbearing, in spite of repeated threats. The coroner's jury ren- dered a verdict to the effect that the deceased came to his death by a gunshot wound at the hands of I. Miller. who was justi6able in his ac- tion. Jones had been employed in town as a cook for about three weeks, coming here from Kansas City.-Citizen.

THE TERRITORIAL VOTE.
6rodie Carried a Majority of the
 Counties.

The extent of Wilson's majority and the precise complexion of the Twentieth legislature are the only two doubts growing out of the late territorial election. Republicans are claiming at least eleven mem bers of the assembly and there is a hope that a tie, if not a majority, may be secured. There will be three and possibly four members of the council. It is a pleasing though unproftable fact, that Brodie car ried more counties than Wilson, but the majOrities were too meager. The Brodie counties are Apache Navajo, COconino, MaIieopa. Pim7 and most likely Pinal. Wilson re- ceived majorities in Mohsve, Yava pal, Cochise, Graham and GIiT. Two counties crossed suit. Coco nino gave Brodie a majority and elected the democrrtic ticket. Co., chise went for Wilson and swelled the republican strength in the iegis lature.-Republican.
