THE CAPITOL BUILDING.
The Commission Will Advertise for
 Bids at Once.

The capitol site commission held a session yesterday to consider addition al details of the plans of the capitol building adopted the day before and to arrange for the advertisement for proposals for construction. Attorney General Ainsworth was called in in the afternoon for an interpretation of the capitol building act. He decided that the commission could proceed with the advertisement at once. The specifica- tions and details for the use of con tractors will be prepared by December 12 Bidders will be notified of this in the advertisement. Within twenty days after the advertise ement the pro posals must be opened. and the con tract awarded.
 The commission decided at first to require each bidder to deposit a certi- fled check fer S10,000, but the amount was afterward reduced to $5,000, five per cent of the amount of the con tract
 Another matter considered was the part he architect, J. R. Gordon, will take in the construction. The act provides that the architect whose plans have been adopted cannot superintend the work. It was therefore decided that he should be consulted from time to time regarding the work.
 There can be no doubt that the building as it.is now planned will come within the estimate of $100,000. MT. Gordon himself in his proposition to the commission at the time the plans were submitted guaranteed in case of the adoption of his plans, to construct the building himself if no proposals should be submitted with L4s esti- mate. It is quite likely that bids for a much lower amount will be received.
 Regarding the stone to be used, the specifications will not describe any particular quarry or locality from which it will be obtained. That will be left to the bidder, who must con vince the commission of the excellence of his material.

DISTRICT COURT.
The Grand Jury Has inc Long Case
 Under Consideration.

The cases Of George Wilson and Henry Bowen, indicted for stealing a lot of horses and other property near Tempe. were before the district court yesterday. Bowen pleaded guilty and then became a witness against Wilson, who, he says, is not an honorable thief Bowen says that Wilson drew him into the enterprise. They made 2 division of the spells; that is, da- clared a dividend. A horse fell to Bowen's share and WilsoL stole that These defendants and Henry Ehlers, who pleaded guilty to burglary, will be sentenced today.
 The grand jury made no report yes terday. It was very busy and worked long after office hours. Two import ant cases were under consideration, those of Deputy United States Marshal Porterie, charged with killing a Msx- ican last summer, and ex-City Col lector Long, accused Of embezzle ments These cases will probably be included in a report to be submitted today.
 The grand jury will not likely be able to finish it's work this week as was expected. Nearly all criminal bus mess has been disposed of, but there remains the usual investigation of the county offices.

minutes after his case went b the jury.
 Speaking Of the talisman yesterday evening, Anderson said: ''Ay -ank der rabbits paw ben some goot to ma. Ay borrowed him of Baen Hall der night he vas loosed. Baen said he ben a goot paw to him many time, und no court could hang him or sent him to shall oontil der hair vas wore off der paw"
 The original case of embezzlsment is still hanging over Anderson. But there is no use in ordering new trial unless the court, Orders him disarmed Of the rabbits foot. There may be no authority in the court to make such an order, but the exigency Of the situation demands that extreme measures be taken. The foot ought at least be re- stored to Ben Hall and marked non to prevent it's circulation among untried defendants.

FOR BETTER ROADS.
Business Men of inc City Want Them
 Improved.

The question of improving the roads leading into Phoenix is being agitated by the business men of the city in a manner which will no doubt result in a general betterment of all the roads in the valley during the winter months.
 The Yuma and Glendale roads, the deplorable condition of which Was pointed out yesterday by The Re publican, should be the first to re- ceiVe attention, as their condition is by far worse than any of the other valley roads
 A reporter for The Republican wis tied several of the leading citizens of the city yesterday with view of obtaining some suggestions from them which might aid the county supervisors in arriving at some means of accomplishing the much needed improvement. A number of interviews appear below.
 Ezra w Thayer is a lover of horses and it naturally follows that he is a be- lieVer in good roads. Probably no business man of Phoenix drives about the valley more than MT. Thayer does. When questioned in regard to the Yuma and Glendale roads, MT. Thayer said: 'I do not care where a road leads to, whether it goes to Glendale or Yuma, it should be a road fit to drive upon. The movement for road improvement which swept over the country a few years ago stopped when it got to Phoenix. I don't suppose there is an other place in the world where there are worse roads. And there is no place where good roads are needed more than here, because people usually form an opinion of a country by the roads it maintains. Phoenix invites the people of the east to come here for the winter months and when they get here they find but one road they can drive upon with abso- lute safety, and that is the Center street road. The business men of Phoenix should get together and do something in this matter. I signed g. petition a few days ago which some one was circulating. I suppose this petition will be presented to the county supervisors, and the business men of the city should see that it has the ef- feet desired''
 B. Heyman, when asked his opinion of the matter, said that he believed, just as every substantial man in the city does, that the roads leading into Phoenix should be the best that can be made. But" said he, the question is, how are we to get these good roads? Must we walt TOT some genus to r1Se among us and point out the way?' And then MT. Heyman. with his happy disposition to find a practical way out of all difficulties. pointed out clear path which the county fathers might tread with impunity, and by doing so solve another question which is of some considerable importance to so- ciety. "In all the eastern states and cities they have their warehouses, said he, where prisoners sent up from the city for slight offenses are put to work. Surrounding the warehouses

 by the ZaphyrS which remove build ings and shift railroad tracks around Gila Bend. But that isn't the way they get whiskers trimmed at the Bend. The breezes would perform more inn partial job than has been done upon MT. Willard.
 The rough shave of which he com plains was accomplished in a wholly different way. One morning he went into the store of E. c. Carruthers and engaged in a conversation with the proprietor. They said things 10 each other and MT. Carruthers having lav- ishly lathered MT. Willard with ex- pressiOns of uncomplimentary opinion and epithets, proceeded to shave him. He seized him by tte left side of the whiskers and removed all within his grasp. MT. Willard is a cripple and was unable to prevent the departure of his beard. He can only regret that Gila Bend cannot afford an up-to-date barber, a part of whose kit is a stock of anaeStheticS, such as chloToform, ether or laughing gas. His only relief is in an action against MT. Carruthers for malpractice. In that event the present appearance of the prosecuting whiskerS would be put in as 2n exhibit.

32-calibre revolver into his side and another
cartridge bore marks of the hammer He

different periods he had conducted the cream
