CITY WARRANTS.
They Have Gone Above Par by Ore
 Half Per Cent.

Something occurred at the city hall yesterday that never happened before. Buyers of city warrants were offer ing 1001a for them. Within the last year the warrants, all of which bear 10 per cent, have twice reached par. Before that time they went begging at 97 and 9S. The present rise is either the result of one thing or the indication of another, and maybe both. One is that the city's income is attaining such relation to it's dis bursements that it's paper is being re- garded as valuable. The other is that capital, which las been more or less closely hOarded for several years, is trying to make use of Phoenix city warrants as one of many outlets. A rate of 10 per cent is, anyhow, al turing.
 There may be a misunderstanding too, as to when the warrants will be called in. Those issued today may be payable in eight or nine months; that is, soon after the collection of the October taxes begins. Those issued a month or two months hence may not become payable until a year later. All that depends upon the volume issued The fact, though, that the warrants are now at premium or even at par is an object lesson of which the city ought to avail itself A year ago last i June a bond issue to cover a floating indebtedness of about $39,000 was voted the bonds to bear a much lower rate of interest. The ordinance was hedged about with so many provisions that buyers were not attracted and none of them have been sold.
 It is a pleasant thing for the holder of warrant to receive a premium on it, but it is not a pleasant thing for the payer of taxes to pay 10 per cent interest, however much he may feel proud of the standing the city has attained among capitalists.

THE RIO VERDE.
A Report That Work Is to Be Begun
 on This Enterprise.

It is probable that something will be done soon in the matter of the Rio Verde Canal company. It was reported yesterday that Messrs. A. H. Linton and Donald Grant of Minneapolis and Faribault, and other members of the Minnesota and Arizona Construc- tion company, would arrive in town next Saturday and that while they were here some plan would be formu- lated for beginning early work on the canal. It was also stated that this proposed action of the contractors would result from the failure of MT. Sheldon's mission to England, where he went last fall to interest London capitalists.
 MT. J. R. Doolittle was seen at the offices of the Rio Verde Canal com pany yesterday afternoon. He said he knew absolutely nothing of what was going to transpire soon, beyond the fact that Messrs. Linton and Grant would arrive. in town next Saturday. He had just received a letter from MT. Sheldon in London. It his mission had been successful. Neither did it afford any information just when MT. Sheldon would return. So far as he knew, MT. Doolittle said, MT. Sheldon might have arrived in New York on the same steamer that brought the letter.
 There is an impression that some course of action will be decided upon before the return of Messrs. Grant and Linton.

ON THE SONOITA.
One of the Beautiful Streams Travers-
 ing Pima County.

Dusty and travel worn was one of the southern arrivals yesterday at the Hotel Adams. After the gentleman had removed evidences of Pima and Pinal county real estate from his wearing apparel and person, he was prepared to look about and view the city, which has been undergoing marked changes since he last visited the metropolis, notably, in the big hotel, where he had been assigned to room II.
 MT. Rollin R. Richardson, the gen. tleman referred to, came to Arizona from Franklin, Pa., about twenty years ago ana settled on the banks of the Sonoita, three miles north of Critten- den. MT. Richardson has the most attractive ranch on the river, as all attest, in which the finest fruit in the county can be gathered. There are about eight acres in this Arizona Garden of Eden," where the apples are of the juiciest. Besides all this aVery home-like abode is situated, and here MT. Richardson and family are spending their summers and win ters. MT. Richardson does not mar ket the orchard product; it is too good to part with, even at a profit. His friends are welcome within the gates, however.

It was pos s1ble improvements looking to in- creased capacity would be intro duced- The Columbia shelter has run lead out largely, but a copper converter will likely be put in, in ad- dltlon to the present facilities.

There are fully 15O people in DuQueSne camp There is a fair road of twenty miles out of Crittenden to the camp and district and stage runs between the railroad and camp.

The hall was lilly suited to properly hear Madame Gal lardo's sweet soprano, yet the audience was overwhelmed with pleasure upon hearing it.

President Parker, thinking that the doings of that great convention would be interesting to the students, re- quested him to give us a short ac- count of its proceedings, iii the morn ing assembly.

WHY so MANY REGULAR
 PHYSICIANS FAIL
To Cure Female uls-Some True Reasons Why Mrs. Pinkham is More Successful Than
 the Family Doctors.

A woman is sick; some disease pecu- liar to her sex is fast developing i'll her system. She goes to her family physi- clan and tells him a story, but not tAe whole story.
 She holds something back, loses her head, becomes agitated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceals what she ought to have told, and thus completely mystifies the doctor.
 Is it any wonder, therefore, that the doctor fails to cure the disease? Still, we cannot blame the woman, for it is very embarrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering, even to her family physician.
 It was for this reason that years ago Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, determined to step in and help her sex. Having had considerable ex- perience in treating female ills with her Vegetable Compound, she encour- aged the women of America to write to her for advice in regard to their complaints, and, being a woman, it was easy for her ailing sisters to pour into her ears every detail of their suf- fering. Over one hundred thousand women were successfully treated by Mrs. Pinkham last year. Such are the grand results of her experience.

They are most striking, how ever, when seen moving In laying asphalt pavement, as load after load of asphalt for the first layer is dumped to be spread upon the roadway, the naph- tha torches are moved along to light the work. They are carried on wheel barrows. It may be that lighted torch is brought up in this manner from a distance of half block. It is not the greatest spectacle in the world, but it is certainly a curious and interesting sight to see man wheeling one of these torches along the sidewalk, with anoth

Certainly Complimentary.

"John," said Mrs. Harkins, ''I heard nice compliment for you today"
 MT. Harkins put his paper down, twisted up the ends of his mustache, looked pleased and said:
 "Well, that's nothing so remarkable. l receive compliments nearly every day."
 Mrs Harkins went on slipping her tea, and her husband waited for her to resume. Finally he said:
 Well, why don't you tell me what it was? Who was it that mplimented me?"
 "Oh, you couldn't guess in a weekl'

 "No."
 "Not Bessie Fallington?'' he rather eagerly suggested
 "No"

 "There isn't any secret about it" Mrs. Harkins sweetly replied. "Mr. Hannaford told me that every time he and I met he became more thoroughly convinced that you were a man of ex- cellent taste."

Soon after the squire hap pened to meet this Richards, who as- serted that he could get game whenever he wanted it, keepers or no keepers. This annoyed the squire, who said:
 "Well, if you bring me a hare tomor- row of my own estate I'll give you a guinea for it.
 "Whati An you J. P.?''
 "Oh, that'n be all rightl'
 "Well, then, done, siri''
 Next day the grinning poacher arrived and was shown into the study.

 For answer he opened the sack, out of which jumped fine hare, which rushed wildly round the room, seeking to escape.
 "Why, haven't you killed it?'' yelled the indignant squire.
