Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1899-07-29

tSeFenty5hVe Indians; painted and
feathered in war attire and feroci0lis
in appearance. Mr.. MCGOWAN had just
received two compliments at the
time of writing, on his Phoenix In
ldIians. Major Clarkson, who was
manager of the last exposition, said
that the Arizona Indians were the
best behaved ever on the grounds. The
band has proved such an attraction
that the management has asked that
1t be allowed to remain until the ex
position concludes, which will be
three months from the time it opened.
The Indians were engaged only for
one month. 1t is likely that the band
will be back when school opens on
September 4. Mr.. MCGOWAN will re-
turn about the middle of August.
NOTHING LIKE HOME. A man
who has just returned from Califor-
not says that the hundreds of Ari-
iona people on the coast are paying
extravagant prices for a good time.
He himself spent four times the
amount of money he had intended to
use, and this is true in most cases.
The people over there may have had
a good time at first but then there was
a longing to get home and haunting
feeling about mortgages and such
things. After the first feeling of jol-
lily and the subsequent remorse,
many goers to the coast s1uander
every available dollar in quest of
pleasure and in hope of shaking off
the recollection OF their real financial
condition. This observation, said the
man, was description of his own
case and there were many more in the
same fix.
A FAMOUS LIGHTNING STROKE.
AS j. w. Bolton sat in front OF his
barber shop last evening gazing at
the approaching storm it occurred to
him what remarkable change had
taken place in fifteen years. But the
sounds of thunder were the same and
he could not help thinking of an Incl
dent of fifteen years ago. "Tll tell
you a strange, but true story. l was
sitting under a tree milking COW.
such an evening as this. Then the
commenced The bolts
struck all around me and suddenly
the! cow. reeled over. She had been
hit and was stone dead The shock
affected me and my mind was blank
for time. When 1 awoke from the
stupoF l found that 1 had been milk
ing the dead cow. And when T looked
al the milk 1 found it was sour"
TOO MUCH RED TAPE The great
amount of red tape, however neces- |
sary, in army circles is shown in the
things required OF Lieutenant Luna, +!
who was here recruiting Lieutenant !
Luna was the chief officer and the |
only officer in connection with the re- |
cruiting service here. In ORDER to is /
sue rations to the men enlisted he was |
to issue an order to the |
chief of the comfmissary department, i
or, in Other words, to himself Then !
in turn the commissary head, himself, /
was required to acknowledge the re- !
ceipt of the order from Lieutenant |
Luna In. this connection several /
other transactions, as ordering him /
self to do something and then ac
knowledging that he hada dones it,
we're necessary. All thes6 papers
have TO be forwarded to the war de-
Dartment, signed by the lieutenant IN |
MS several capacities.
GAN HAVE A CANNON. Mr.. A.
Redewill, who is at Vallejo, Gal, wIhI-
ng to The Republican, says: In the
United States navy yard. at Mare Is
and half a mile from Vallejo, lie at
present fourteen brass cannon which
we're in most part captured from the
Spanish fleet after its humiliation by
Admiral Dewey, These cannon are
he objects of examination by thou
sands of visitors and are really curios-
ties. They are being given away for
he mere asking and l would suggest,
before they are all gone, that Phoenix
secure two of them for The capitol
rounds Kansas City, Butte, Mont,
Denver, Rochester and three Grand
Army posts have secured one each,
nd of twentv that were brought there /.
re now fourteen left. They are made
Eighteen feet long, and all bear in
crfptions, the date when cast, the
overeign under whose reign it was
Inished. etc. and all have more or
ess ornamentation Should our peo-
lie desire to secure one or two for
Arizona's capitol grounds, the only
required rs that our delegate
o congress be requested to ask the
ecretary of the navy for the same.
Governor Murphy, IN The name OF
he territory, and Major McClintock
nd Captain Alexander OF Rough Rider Il
anne, add their signatures to the pc
ition it will secure US the privilege of
btaining probably two, and choice
