who prepared the program for this

POST CONVENTION.
Democrats Studying the Territorial
 Delegation.

The democrats of Phoenix yesterda: spent the day looking backward and wuD Dderifg how many of the surpris- T1g things that happened were brought about The ticket was looked at with greater coolness than had pre- vailed in the convention when it was made up and many believed that it might have been strengthened in rIf.ces. The thing in which demo- erats just now are especially interested IS the character Of the delegation to the territorial convention. Notwith- standing day had passed since it was elected, very little more was known about what it would likely do than was Known twenty-four hours before Will sen men claim that he will receive the support of large majority of the del cgatio1. similar claim is made by sfle friends Of Smith, and still others believe that Ellinwood will be well taken care of by the delegation It is only known that the Third ward delegation is for Smith, The mem sers are outspoken on the subject, but nearly all other city delegates are non- eommittal. It is certain that Wilson wiIf derive some support from the First ward. while Ellinwood can con- fdently count on help from the Sec smd

THE nOOUI SNAKE DANCE.
Ar interesting Book Lately Issued
 By ihe Santa Ee.

Ths most complete and graphic de scription Of the Moqui snake dance ever written has just been issued in 9 handsome book by the passenger de- partment of the Santa Fe route. The story IS written by Walter Hough. It is profusely embellished by half-tones taken from original photographs. It describes net only the snake dance and the Moquis, but other dances and GUS toms Of the Moquis and neighboring tribes. The piece de resistance. though, is the snake dance which the writer witnessed with it's preliElinG1y ' preparations from the moment the first lances of the sun were thrown over the eastern mountains as a signal fer the beginning of this fascinating curious and g,uescme ceremony.
 A reader of this book will eufov the dance as if he had seen il and he will, in fact, have almost had the experience of seeing it. Tn ar aDoon- dix there is a list of routes and dis tances to the Moqui pueblos which will be Of val..e to one intending to visit that strange region and people of Ari- zona The book may be secured by addi essing the general passenger ofEice 0f t.2a Santa Fe at Topeka CT Los A1- y2tnS
