A VICTIM OF nORpHINt.
Charles Stokes Found Death in a Cell at the City Jail.

Charles Stokes. better known as the Iron Jawed Kid" was found dead in cell at the city jail about 10 o'clock yesterday morning. Bill" the fac totum, took his breakfast to him and returned complaining that he couldn't awaken him. Neither could anybody else
 Stokes died indirectly from the e1- cessive use of morphine, though per- haps the immediate cause of his death was the want of the drug. He had been crying for it for days. He yelled "Fire!" and Murder" but the city council had decided that it would buy no more dope" at the public expense. Nobody knows when Stokes died. He was alive after daylight yesterday morning, for his yells and groans dis turbed everybody about the city hall building.
 An inquest was held by Justice Kim caid, at which verdict was rendered that death had resulted from the ex- cessive use of morphine taken volun- tarily. The body will probably be buried in the potter's field, though a telegram was sent tc wealthy relatives in the east asking if they wanted a more respectable disposition made Of the remains.
 Stokes was 26 years of age. He came to Phoenix two years ago from Philadelphia, where he was born. He was of good family. His step-father, James Keene, is librarian of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, and Stokes himself spent one year at that insti- tuition. He was seized with a tuber- cular trouble and got into the way of taking morphine to alleviate pain. He had better died decently of the original disease, for he became a degenerate There were several younger children in the family, so that Stokes was sent west that a bad ex- ample might be removed from them. More than year ago he was arrested here for vagrancy and was sent to the asylum. He remained there long enough to get strong and healthy. He | said he had no longing for the drug. In short time the habit recurred. He spent another term at the asylum, but as soon as he was discharged he re- sumed his old habit. Since then he has frequently been confined in both the city and county jails for vagrancy
 His mother sent hIm remittance of $15 every two weeks, but with what ] he spent for morphine he was hardly able to live. A short time ago he con- sented to leave Phoenix and go to San 1 Diego. An arrangement was made

BAPTISM ALMOST FATAL TO TWO. Aged Ministers Strength Gives Way
 Just as Convert Is Immersed.

Muncie Ind, Oct. 7.-At the yearly pic nic of the Baptist church for Delaware, Grant and Blackford counties at May hews. yesterday. there was an exciting incident not down on the programme.
 In the afternoon the order of baptism by immersion was to have been conduct ed in the Aiississinewa river by Rev. James Richards, veteran minister eei S2 years. He is small of stature and very feeble. The man to be baptized was a physical giant. When the time came for baptism the strength of Rev. Mir Rich ards proved unequal for the task. and both men went under and were carried to a hole of deep water near by.
 They were rescued, but it took some time for physicians to resrscitate them.

GIRL CONDUCTORS LET OUT.
Men Will Hereafter Collect Fares From
 Marion, Ind, Passengers.

Madison, Ind, Oct. 7.-Some time ago the experiment of using women as con- ouctors on the street railway was intro duced in this city. The innovation was a pleasing one.
 The street railway is controlled by a receiver. and during the last two weeks it has been rumored that he cont templated dismissing the young women and relying on the motormen to collect fares. No official information concerning this, how ever, was given out until yesterday when the receiver admitted the contem- plated change
 During the day the girls left their cars one by one, not waiting to be officially discharged.

 Some persons who had become inter- ested in him wrote his mother not long ago advising her to have him put in private asylum. She decided not to do so, evidently believing that noth- ing but death coule cure him of his liking for morphine.

initial concert OF their tour Of the State.
From the time the opening number was

Miss Fellows a royal welcome on her
return and were proud that woman
who stands as high as she does in the

4 ION OF TRUNKS
Is What One Drummer Carries With Him on
the Road.

A drummer made his appearance at the
Eisnwood, yesterday. who carries q ton
of baggage. This IS the first time the
drummer has visited this city, and when
he showed his baggage to the express
man and gave orders for It's removal. the
baggage man nearly dropped in a faint,
being unable to believe that so much bag
gage was carried by one man.
When the baggage man recovered he
found 1t Necessary to make two trips to
carry his baggage TO the hotel. and even
then each load was piled so nigh above
the cart that the team had more the ap-
peararce of team used in hauling bag
gage for travelling shows.
There were just 300 pounds of baggage
in the lot, the trunks all being loaded
with samples of toys. Each trunk was
fully as large as the largest carried by
the average drummer. When the goods
We're placed on exhibition at the sample
room in the hotel the room presented the
appearance of a toy store more than any
thing else. In fact there are but few
stores in this part of the State carrying
such a large stock as the drummer had
for samples.

Superintendent Barber tells the Jour-
nal that she outlook at the beginning
of the fall term is very encouraging.
There are 1915 pupils in the city, en-
titled to draw money. though the ac-
tual attendance is much smaller. The
schools in general have a good attend
ance. but are not crowded. During the
summer vacation many repairs were
made upon the different buildings, with
the effect shat all are now in first class
condition. Another great improve
ment in the management is that of
raising the grade of some of the
smaller schools. so that all the schools
are now run on practically the same
standard. The intended alterations at
the Highland Ave nue. school will not be
made, until next year. The committee
have been ordered by the city council
to procure plans and have them in
readiness to submit to the council. in
the early spring. and in all probability
the changes will be made during the
summer vacation. The building as re-
constructed will have an increased
seating capacity, and will also be
greatly improved in other ways.

two or three months run on pine. At
South Gardiner. both the big mills will
