EVERYBODY Is COMING.-Prof. ].
r. Meskimmons returned yesterday
from tour through northwestern
Arizona and southern California. adj
Vertising the carnival. The fame of
the proposed event. he found. had pre-
coded him and the advertising matter
was eagerly sought after. Everybody.
he says. thinks the carnival envelopes
are just the thing" he number of
people he met who said they are com
ing to Phoenix during the carnival was
most surprising. I have always
wanted to make the trip" said many
of his chance acquaintance. and L
believe I'll go over to see the carnival
These people, in Prof. Meskimmons' es-
timation, Will crowd the trains TO over
flowing and contribute toward making
the carnival the greatest event of the
kind in the history of the territory.
SOCIETIES RESPONDING. The
hearts of the officers of the carnival as
ISOLATION have been made glad by the
heartiness with which the secret so
cieties have responded to the invita-
ton to participate in the grand parade
on 4 he
Odd Fellows have decided upon ap-
pearing in the line of march in their
regalia and have extended invitations
to the lodges at Mesa City, Tempe and
Glendale TO participate with them. IL
is confidently expected that over 20)
members of the various Odd Fellows
lodges will be in the line of march,
making in themselves most imposing
array. At a meeting of the Sisters Of
Rebekah. held yesterday afternoon. it
was decided that if the financial part
can be arranged the members of the
lodge will fit up three floats for the !
parade, emblematic of the order.
ACROSS THE DESERT Members /
of Ell Zaribah Temple Mobiles of the |
Mystic Shrine have been unusually ac /
tive for few days and evidence &C /
cumulates that some time this after i
noon there will be d big public parade ;
when all the novices who have been 4
selected as in prime condition for the .
slaughter, will be led, hanging onto the (
rope through the streets of this oasis I
in the desert like sheep before their
shearers. There is to be a. ceremonial !
session tonight the mystic proceedings /
of which can only be conjectured by /
those who have not been slain. Those
who have. are beyond nope, fear or .
any other old thing. 1t is supposed /
they will follow this up by a banquet.
as it is a well established fact that the
Shriners, above all others. live by eat
ing and drinking. SO il the tom tom (
reVerberates this p. m. and hOwls are
heard this m it need not be taken
for the opening of the carnival. l.
will only be the innocent murder of 4 {
few luckless MasOns.
THE FIRST THIRTY DAYS.-'I
have noticed during my residence in /
Phoenix said a gentleman yesterday,
that a great many invaiids die within
thirty days after arriving here. They
are usually in a desperate physical
and do not have the strength
TO become acclipated. The invalid
who can stand the first month or two
OF change and gets settled down into
a regular routine will commence to
gather strength and if there is any
chance at all he will recover. 1t often
happens that invalids who have thus
become located here but notwithstand-
ing this fact are not able to shake off
the disease, prefer to end their days
here. although importuned to return
east They argue that daa tn must B
come to them eventually and they pre-
fer meeting the grim monster in eli
mate where sun and air shower their
benedictiOns of kindness upon them.
If a man afflicted with lung trouble
cannot recover his health here he can
not do it anywhere"
