YOUNG REPUBLICANS. - The
Young Mems Republican club was re-
organized last night by the election of
a new set of officers. There was a
spirited contest of several days stand
ing over the presidency, the candidates
for which were H. r. Tritle and w. P.
Mealey. The contest had the effect of
almost doubling the membership of
the club, thereby laying waste hopes
based on the most careful calculation.
On the converting of the meeting after
a short, but sharp fight on the order
of business, the new members were adj
mitted and the ballot for president pro-
ceeded, resulting as follows: Tritle,
20; Mealey, IS. The other offices We're
not contested and were filled as fol-
lows: First vice-president, E. w. Pot
ter; secretary, Hugh Evans; treasurer,
Fl. a. Diehl.
L. NJ. FRANCIS PATENT.-L. NJ.
Francis yesterday received a patent
on an inhaler, which has been in use
in this place for some time and has
been profanely known as the tin nose.
The paper comforting the patent is
handsome document in blue ribbon and
red sealing wax. Beside the printed
specifications of the device there are
thre cuts showing various sections.
elevations and interior views of the
tin nose. Mr.. Francis has several other
devices upon which he will likely APP
ply for patents. Most of them are i'm
provements on existing patents. He is
a skillful machinist and an expert
electrician, so that the inVenting of an
inhaler was not quite in his line, yet
many of Edison's patents are on
things which have nothing to do with
electricity.
MORE SHRINERS.-T are more
Mystic Shriners in this world this
morning than there We're last night.
About a dozen trembling gentlemen
clad in spotless white were led through
the street securely fastened to a stout
rope, so they couldn't get away.
Among them were II. ]. Allen of Je-
rome and DR.. J. NJ. Swetnam and J.
D. Monihon of Phoenix. This mourn
full procession was preceded by the In
dian school band directed by that dis
tinguished band master. Signor F. y.
Shaw. There were also the officers of
the order armed with swords and
clubs. The greater body of the Shrin-
ers marched in the rear. to prevent es-
cape in that direction in case the rope
should break After exhibiting the
novitiates and the red fezzes of the
Shriners to the populace for an hour,
a recess was taken until o'clock.
What happened then nobody knsws eX
actly. There were pistol shots, yells
of agony and muffled groans. Then
there was a banquet. The great BAN
quet of the Shriners will take place on
the night of December 4, the first day
of the carnival. An effort will be made
TO have the order assist in the parade.
If all the Shriners could be brought
here that day there would be no more
picturesque feature of the grand
parade.
