 A SENATOR'S FAMILY.-The most prominent winter residents of Phoenix are the wife and daughters of United
 States Senator H. D. Money, of Mis-
 sissippi. They have taken the resi- dence- of Mrs. C. A. Luke at the corner of Second and Monroe streets and will
 remain in the city during the winter
 They will probably be joined about the
 holidays by Senator Money.
 A CARNIVAL FIRE. The carnival decorations in front of the Evans In- vestment company caught fire about
 midnight from a Chinese lantern. The
 fire was immediately discovered, but before it could be extinguished all the
 bunting had been burned away for a
 length of more than Q hundred feet, and the woodwork of the porches was
 threatened.
 BACK AGAIN. MT. P. A. Phillips
 and family left for Oklahoma last spring, making the journey overland
 in a wagon as time was the cheapest thing on hand. The view of the country gained in this way was interesting. MT.
 Phillips returned Sunday and reports that for all practical purposes Ari-
 zona is still in the lead. His family accompanied him as far as Bowie, then left for Globe on a visit to friends.
 UNDESERVED SLAPPING. - Jose Perez was in Justice Johnstone's court yesterday on a charge of striking his wife on the mouth. He was sent to jail for twenty days, it appearing to the court that Sonora Perez's mouth did not need skipping, so that the admin istration of it partook of the character of an assault. Jesus Cruz. charged with selling liquor to an Indian, was hn tn ha nj
 AWAITING ITS OWNER. There is a lady's Crescent wheel, almost new, at Justice Johnstone's office,, await ing it's owner when she recovers from a fright to which she was sub jected. Two women collided, or near ly collided, with a wagon on Washing ton street. Both fell off their wheels and when they got up from the ground they made a rush for the sidewalk, leaving the wheels lying where they fell. Nobody saw them stop running and nobody has yet made inquiry about the wheels.
 IRRIGATION EXHIBIT. City Zan- jero Al Arthur is preparing an irriga- tion exhibit for the edifcation of east ern visitors. The city ditches have been cleaned out, water will be turned into them today or tomorrow, and a half dozen men will be employed to di rect it through the town. This is not a very interesting exhibit to those who are familiar with irrigation, but noth- ing in Phoenix is more attractive for the first time to one from the eastern and middle states than the method by which trees and vegetation are made to thrive in the arid region.
 FRIDAY NIGHT-Phoenix gained an unsavory reputation at her first | carnival on account of the flour throw ing on the night of the grand mas querade which marked it's closing hours. It has been announced that | nothing of that kind will be cOun- ! tenanced this year. All should bear | this in mind and impress the fact on any who may be inclined to disturb , good order. In this connection com ! plaint has ben made at this office that | many who do not intend to mask are | preparing to make things unpleasant ] for those who do. It seems scarcely 1 creditable that such is the case, but if there are such ill-tempered people in | town they should immediately proceed i to regulate themselves in accordance with the existing order of things. Fri | day night is to be carnival night and l it is to be a lively one. Everyone who | can get away from business will be l out en masque and will be out for fun ! not deviltry. Two things should be re- l membered. The streets are free. If | one has no time to engage in the ! pleasures of the hour he should be al- | lowed to go his way unmolested and 1 undisturbed. Important business, sick |
