Weather nat | urally adjusts itself 10 prevailing con- ditions so as mighta have been expected | it got up an entertainment to meet the | views of the tourists and make them | feel that the money they had spent for | their heavy clothing had not been recklessly and unproftably blown in.'
 AT THE OPERA HOUSE. -Ott Bro. s All Aboard" was presented at the Patton Grand opera house last night to full house.

Manager Patton has secured Ine company to appear again tonight. The matinee yesterday was not given owing to the tired out condition of Lne troupe.
 LIKES THE REPUBLICAN, Sec retary Akers yesterday, speaking of the enlarged Republican, said that he was pleased to see it steadily forging ahead. He knew of no other town of the size of Phoenix that cou.u boast of so good paper. He regretted that : there was not a railroad service to fit it, meaning that the departure of the trains from town were not timed so that the paper could be as quickly distributed through the territory as it $ ought to be. This re gret had been first forced upon him during a late visit to Tucson when he discovered that he was unable to obtain the morning Re publican until ilhe next morning. That l was a disappointing break in an en- l joyment which had been coming to l lim regularly 365 days in the year. 1
