A MUSICAL SERVICE. The musical
programme at the Baptist church yes
terday was unusually attractive and
included well rendered solos by Mrs
Embree and Miss Kay. Mrs. Embree's
sweet and powerful mezzo-soprano
voice was admired both in solo and
/ chorus.
FIRE APPARATUS. The fire ap-
paIatus, including hose wagon and a
hook and ladder, has been shipper
from Chicago for the Phoenix fire de-
partment and will probably arrive by
Thursday No arrangements have
been made yet for christening the new
appliances, but there will be some
kind of a celebration.
A NEW SCHOOL. The Seventh
Day Adventist denomination will
shortly OPEN a school in their new
church building on Pearce street in
the Churchill addition. They pur-
pose employing the most advanced
methods of preaching and maintaining
Eigh standard for the school. A
teacher is expected to arrive here on
Friday next from the college at Battle
Greek, Mich, and will at once look af-
ter the organization of the school,
which will probably open one week
from today.
OBDURATE HENS. There is
general scarcity of eggs in this part
of the territory just now. Restaurants
and bakeries in Phoenix in the last
few days have been unable to get
enough eggs for their own use. The
supply was checked suddenly and the
price of eggs jumped from Is cents on
last Friday to 25 cents on Saturday.
The shortage is from two causes The
poultry industry has been neglected
here and the produce at times does not
adequately satisfy home consumption.
But the immediate cause is the obsti-
macy of the hens. They refuse to lay.
They may be driven UP and down hills,
may be fed on alfalfa or corn, but they
can't be forced to lay.
SHOOTING QUAIL-A local sports
man who likes to shoot quail just as
well as any one on earth, but who is
a great respecter of law and order,
reports that over on the south side
there are number of Nimrcds who
either care very little for the game
laws or are woefully ignorant of their
provisions for the protection of quail.
1t is said that considerable slaughter
is being carried on in the vicinity Of
Mesa City though the open season for
quail does not begin till some time
next month. If the killing be through
ignorance of the law the sportsmen
should take warning, and if it be done
in defiance of law they should be
mighty wary, for the boyle men will
get them if they don't watch out.
AGRICULTURAL MEETING. The
executive committee of the Arizona
Agricultural association held a meet
ing on Saturday in the office Of the
secretary, Willis G. Byrnes, of the
weather bureau The meeting was for
the purpose of preparing a programme
for the annual meeting of the asso-
citation which will be held during the
last days of October or the first CT
Many prominent passen-
gers throughout the territory have
been invited to be present at the an
important subjects. A full list will be
published later. The executive COM
mittee will hold another meeting at
the weather bureau Office ON Satur-
day, October 16, at p. m, at which
time the date OF the annual meeting
will be definitely decided upon
TRUE BLUES ON TOP. The base
ball game at the Phoenix park yester- i
day between the Cyclone team and the |
True Blues resulted in a score of % !
to II in favor CT the latter. There |
was a, fairly good attendance and con-
enthusiasm manifested There |
was more to play for than there has |
been at any previous game this sea-
SON Each team has put up $50 and |
the bet will be won by the nine which !
carries off the best two out of three |
games The contest yesterday was the !
first of the series. The second game Z
will take place next Sunday and if the /
money is not already won the third |
game will be held at the park on the |
following Sunday Beside the money |
put I'D by the teams there was consid- |
cradle money bet on the outside. AL |
though both teams are amateur and |
have bad little practice, with the eX- |
ception of few bad blunders, the game |
xyss a good one The True Blues are !
confident they will win the game on |
next Sunday also, and they say that |
in two or three weeks they will be |
able to give the DeMund nine a 'hard
rub. In turn the Cyclones attribute !
their defeat to lack of practice and |
they will be in condition to play a |
better game next Sunday
