ARTIST BURGLARS CRACKING SAFES Phoenix Visited by Some Clever
 Workers. THEIVESGET
 LEFT The Stores Of Barkley Bros. and
 Watts Co.

There wass gentle breeze of excite ment in Phoenix yesterday as the news
 spread that safe-crackers were at work
 in the city. The breeze was more than
 gentle-in fact it was regular gale at
 stores Of Barkley Bros, and Watts & Co.'S, near the corner of Adams street and First avenue.
 At an early hour yesterday the first corners to the stores men toned were treated to thrill. In the office of Barkley Bros, there were many proofs that untimely visitors had, uninv;ted, entered and mussed things. The prin- cipal proof was furnished by the con- dition of the safe. The outer hoor had not been injured but the inner door had been drilled through and the com bination knocked of, all performed in manner that denoted an an artist at his business. The cash box had been removed, forced open, and, perhaps, if an audience had been there to here it, about that minute, cuss words filled the space not otherwise occupied be- tween floor and ceiling,
 Just one little, one cut little ten cent silver piece, met the gaze of the burg laring safesmen. They were too much disgusted 10 remove it. The safe con- ta1ned nothins else of value.
 With more foreshought than one would credit the cracksmen withal, they closed and carefully locked all the doors and retired from the scene.
 A few doors east they found temp ting field in the store of Watts & Go. This they entered by forcing 8 rear window. The safe here would not open it's outer or storm doors at word ofcom- mand, so the mechanics spread their tools and began tedious and labor ious boring to effect an opening, first knocking the combination magazine clear from the door.
 What hour it was no one can tell at 1 this time, but it is evident that a "scare" came to them for the reason l that operations were hastily discon- tinued and the departure so speedily | made that the entire set of tools were left upon the floore beside the safe.
 The hole was bored nearly through, and as in the first case indicated that | the borer knew where to drill so as to realize the best results from his efforts.
 Had they succeeded in getting this safe open there is no telling what char actsr of language they they would have indulged in, because there was only about fifteen cents in the box and noth- ing else of value.
 All around the men as they worked upon this safe were shelves filled high with bottles containing wines of every beer of every brew. whiskey all and bead, and boxes of the finest cigars in the market. Not thing was touched.
 This incident should warn our mer- chants that they cannot be too careful in guarding their places of business. and that the best of safes are known not to be burglar proof.
 At late hour last night around of he newspaper office disclosed the fact hat double guards had been placed around their strong boxes, and bright 'lectrict lights were burning out 8 warning to all marauders to steer ;lear-Gazette.

A PERFECT BAKING POWDER.

The constantly increasing demand for Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, tue standard cream of tartar powder for forty years, is due to two causes. F1RST:-The extreme exercised by the man-
 ufacturers to make it pure, uniform in quality
 and of highest leavening power Skilled chemists
 test every ingredient to purity and strength. SECOND:-Recent State Investigations show that
 the majority Of other baking powders contain alum,
 and consuners giving snch powders awide berth.
 Nothing is left to chance in tie manufacture of Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder is pronounced by all authorities free from alum or other adulterant. It never dsappoints. Each is like the other. The BEST is ALWAYS the CHEAPEST.

OUR HEROES.

When the rampant British lion
 Long Britanuia's naughty boast, Learned and gave those valued lessons On our broad Atlantic coast. What 6 tiny band of heroes
 For thh nation still was young Clustered round their old time leader. The nations frs tlove, Washington. Rich, the heritage gave us,
 Passed from father unto son; Till the boys went forth to battle
 In the days of sixty-one. Then came Custer with his forces,
 In the fight against the sioux, Adding luster-adding glory,
 To the old, the honored blue, Then this yeas 10 over-crowded,
 Heard again the clarion call, And the hearth thrilled in sixty,
 Gave again their treasured ali. How our old impatient veterans
 Longed once mere the blue to don, But sold time" had claimed his tribute So they cheered our "Terrors" on. But when talking of our heroes,
 We would speak from bias free; Men who struggled for the Union,
 Not more brave than those with Lee Cheer the boys who stayed in Tampa, Waiting orders to press on; They were just as brave and daring As our boys who won San Juan.

WILD SHOOTING.

Lost Monday one Fl. Dugan, ac'
 companied by Garfield Farrell, rode tc
 the sheep camp of Grover and Nelson some miles out on the desert eas of town
 and accosting John Nelson, said: "I
 suppose you know me, don't vou?" Mir.
 Nelson replied: "Yes; you are the man
 that made gun play at me two years
 ago." To this Dugau replied. Yes :;
 and am going to finish the job now |"
 With this he drew his six shooter and
 began shooting at Nelson. He shot six
 times and then he and Farrell left on their horses. When Dugan began shoot
 ing, Nelson turned and began to nn- wrap his Winchester. By the time he got ready to shoot. the parties were four or five hundred yards away. Nelson took two or three shots at them. There were present at the time of the shooting. Mir Grover Gene Daley and another man, MT. Nelson came to town and made com- plaint and warrants were issued Deputy Sheriff Lewis, Constable Burton aud Gene Daley started in pursuit. In the evening Joe Peterson came in from his cattle camp and reported that he had seen the two fugitives beyond the Ari- zona canal headed toward Phoe- nix. At about nine o'clock Oscar Felton and Ed Fuller started out to fol- low that trail.
 In the meantime, the Sherlff's office had been notified. and Billy Moore and | Slankard started out on the trail. They headed for Paradise Valley, and short Iy found that their game was in the vic- Inity and were doubling on their tracks in an attempt to throw off their pursuers Wednesday afternoon Billy struck the trail and dimounted and waited. In 8 short time Dugan and his companion and when about fifty yards away Moore called to them to throw up ;heir hands. Dugan replied with shot. Moore and Slankard returned the fire with the result that Dugan had one leg md one hand broken, and then sur 'endered, as did also his travelling mate The prisoners were conveyed to Phoenix where they are now in jail awaiting ex- Free Press.

COSTLY RELIGION.
While Listening to Salvation Army
 Is Robbed.

Thursday evening while the SaIua- tton Army was holding forth on the corner of Washington and First streets, a larger crowd than the usual one stop- ped to listen. Just as the army lads and lassies were wheeling into line to march to the barracks, 8 middle aged man was heard to exclaim: "HeIen blazes! My watch is gone!" It was true. The gold chain attached to his vest was cut in two by pair of clippers as neatly as if cut by pair of metal shears, and the watch was gone. To bystander the man remarked in an in- jured sort of tone: 'It it the first time in my life that ever stopped to listen to the Salvation Army and by G. 1t will be the last time to-"
 The Salvation iassies. if they had overheard this remark would no doubt have consoled the man who han sus- tained the loss of his watch, and told him that everything was for the best" and that "He who watched over all things selected His own time for visit ing punishment upon those who needed chastenihg, and for rewarding those who needed to be chased" or words to that effect.
 Of course there is moral in the story It is plain and needs not a signboard to distinguish 1t from the other part.
 The occurrence itself shows too, that the thief was an expert and came to 1 town prepared and equipped to carry 1 on business in the most modern and | stvile of the science known as relieving.-Gazette.

 A woman wearing a hustle make kes it appear like deformity in tho wrong spot.

 Kissing Q girls check is like licking molasses from the unbut- tered side of mothers bread.
 A glrl dressed up in a nlce over sbirt aud dirty underskirt IS by no means the girl for wife.
 Some girls lose their chance and become old maids by not talking plain when some man starts the conversation.
 Girls generally stand affar off sucking their thumb, looking for their hero, and wind up by being satisfied with hobo.
 If girls pretty, and doesn't know it, she's beautiful; if she does, she's generally not only homely but positively ugly.
 Many mons heads contains wheels, and the X-ray will reveal, most generally. some unworthy woman turning the crank. ! If some bachelors could pet 8 wife of their own like they do other mems wives the world would have lots more happy women Tn it.
 Every girl at 16 dreams and looks for her hero; few years later she wakes up and finds herself in love with somo fellow too mangy 10 make 8 good hobo. When a woman in walking has her heels fighting with the bottom of her skirts, let her alone if she's single and have pity on her husband If she's married.
 A wilful girl should remember that the least thorn leaves a scar, and on a woman's record it's never erased; because 8 wrong judging world wills it so.

of severe want, when conditions
have been prepared for them
by the work of the Republican
party SO that there is no further
need for them to fear the
necessity of feeding at the put lie
crib, they forget the benefactor
and play with the hand OF the
oppressor, 1t was this course
upon the part of the people in
1892 that caused the Democratic
landslide that brought in its wake
the depression, Then the eyes
Of our people were opened and
they regretted their rashness.
They ilocked TO the Republican
ranks again, for in that party
alone did they see succor. Subse
quent events proved the wisdom
OF their choice. The Republican
party has kept its promise and
redeemed the country, There is
no longer cause TO worry for
bread.
The men that helped bring
about these conditions deserve
better usage at the hands of the
Republican colleagues than to
be cast aside for those who
helped bring starvation and
sought To continue it. This
is not confined alone To
our state ticket. it applies also TO
the city ticket We can see no
reason why the Republican
should be slaughtered.
But especially does it apply to
the state and county tickets.
