IN CHANCERY COURT
Morgan and Yauch, the Bakers. Ask
 F0l a Dissolution.

4 suit for dissolution of 1he Nor gen-Yaunch Bakery Company, of this city, was called in the Chancery court by Judge Elliott this morn ing.
 Upon some preliminary motion, this firm, as it seems, could not agree among themselves, and have resorted to the courts to dissolve the firm and pay all the debts and dispose of the property.
 Pending the final hearing of the case the property is left in joint custody of the partners; neither of whom can incurr auy debts or bind the company's assets. Their place of business is situated on Main street, and is closed during the con- troYersy.

 FLAGsTAFF, ARIZONA. August 23- One of the most interesting and prosperous stations on the Santa Fee road in Arizona is Flagstaff. It is an important commercial center for the northern part of the terri to- ry. It is the center Of rich mining and thinner country. Sheep and cat He raising are also leading and pros Af0us industries. From this point people reach the seven cities of the Moki Indians, the Ancient Cliff Dwellings, the mines of the Cave Dwellers, the numerous tribes of Pueblo Indians. the Petrifled Forest, the Painted Desert, the Grand Can yoh ot the Colorado and the San Francisco mountains. whose tall peaks tower I3,000 feet above the level Of the sea and from whose lofty heights can be obtained the best possible view uf the great Arizona desert. The altitude of Flagstaff is 8,S66 teet It is the market for the products of numerous Indian tribes and the center of the greatest natu- raj museum in the world.
 Flagstaff has been the mecca of a large number of sight-seers this sum- mer-visitors to some of the world s greatest antiquities and wonders in Arizona, the greatest of which is the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.

tThe journey from Flagstaff oc- cupies from ten to twelve hours at a speed of about seven miles an hour. The stages are drawn by teams of six mules, and ty cracking his whip continuously and keeping up an in cPssant howl the driver manages to persuade the animals to gallop the entire distance.
 ..Tme trail leads through heavy forests of pine and the shivering as pen, the tree of which the legend says the cross of Christ was made, for which reason the leaves are con- stanrly trembling in fear and grief. The stage passes around the base of the San Francisco mountains, the highest altitude reached being $500 feel, while the brink of the canyon is 1000 feet above the sea. There are long stretches of lava drift and black cinders that have been thrown out of innumerable volcanic craters in the neighborhood that are now si lent and extinct.

All the visitors to the Grand Can yon agree that it is beyond the pow CT of words to adequately describe Recently readers of the GRAPHIC were treated to a beautiful pen picture of this most remarkable freak of nature by Miss Emma Maun of our city. Mir. Wm. E. Cur tis, special correspondent of the Chicago Record and one of the most brilliant newspap per writers of this period, was also recent visitor to the Grand Canyon, and he found the .svastness and sublimity of the great natural wonder beyond the descrip- tive power of language" Perhaps Mr. Curtis description and the ac- compaDying illustration will serve to make the Graphic's readers still more familiar the scenic grandeur of this great wonder of nature. Mir. Curtis. in his descriptiy e article, says:

''You can get to the Grand canyon by two routes. From the little sta tion of Peach Springs on the Santa Fe railroad it is only twenty-three miles by way of Diamond Greek can- yon to the bottom of the gorge, and people who were in a hurry have made the trip between daylight and dark, but they had to start very early in the morning and gotta most unsat- isfactory view of natures sublimest work. From Flagstaff the grandest and most comprehensive view IS ob- tained from the rim of the canyon, where from a single point the eye can sw eep over panorama of twelve or fifteen miles, and bs visi ting different places one can take iI from forty to fifty miles of the most remarkable features.
 "The canyon itself is about 1S0 miles long. 1t begins in the high plataaus in southern Utah and con tinues through Arizona until the elevation of the surrounding coun- try gradually descends to the sea level and the Colorado river almost disappears in the thirsty sands that lie along the boundary between Arizona and the southern part of California.

Columbia was her name-Columbia
Alpin. 81 know it's queer, she used
to explain, "for strangers, when they re
introduced, always stare at me as if l
were some sort Of foreigner-which I'm
not, thank goodnessl Bnt it's the name
I've got, and I'm going to try to live
up to it. -
So Columbia was nothing if not pa
triotic, and her name, however odd,
didn't seem inappropriate. She had lit
tie need to deck herself with the ma
tional colors which she SO persistently
faunted. for nature had printed the red,
white and blue in dawn tints on her
glowing face, and bright stars shone
there, too, right out Of the blue, to
make all absolutely perfect. She was
herself our coantry s fairest, truest en-
blem.
But patriotism was at discount in
Rustival, or Rustyville. as it was insult
ingly nicknamed by its hustling neigh
bors in NewbUrg, just across the lake.
For Rustival was sour, belated<little
country town, which had aspired to be-
come the local metropolis and hadn't
realized its ambition. remem ber that

1866, the year of the preliminary sur

impossible to get rod of ground for
love or money, so extravagant were the
expectations of the villagers, But they
had seen the railroad, and the county
seat and all the other good things
which they he'd accounted their own one
by one slip from their grasp and tumble
into the lap of their upstart rival. Thus
Rustival dwindIing and dingy, contin-
ually losing the more alert of its youth
and retaining Only those whose shallow,
rustic eonceit found scant encourage
ment elsewhere, had become the abode
of peevish and carEing discomfort, ripe
for disloyalty. The whole country was
going to the dogs-that was evident. A
glance at their neglected street, weedy
yards and the white paint scaling from
struggling line of houses was proof
enough to this mildewed community.
Naturally, when the war with Spain
broke out there was no enthusiasm. To
be sure, Joel Slocum, the local poll
tician, made off to Washington to try
for an appointment, but he soon came
back and reported a general state of rot
tenness.
"Them Spaniards, he declared, "are
goin to lick us out Of our boots, and I'm
hopin it may do us good. Every things

LIBERTY BELL.

High up In the tower 1t hung,
Where the dust of ages clung,
And the spiders drapery swung,
That deep toned, craven bell,
Holding in its silence meet
Pledge of liberty complete,
Stern command and promise sweet,
All the waiting land to tell.
And the spire with life was vested;
On the beams the pigeons nested,
And the swallows swift infested
AL the caves and inches high.
Spirits seemed they of the tower,
Winged notes of peace and power,
Circling through each sunny hour
From the dark bell to the sky.
Silent as prophet musing
Or a novice self accusing,
Through the air spell diffusing
Subtle as spirits breath,
Hung the bell. And thus It waited
While in council wrongs were stated
And the patriots stern debated
Themes of liberty or death.
Suddenly from out the spire,
Swelling fuller, clearer, higher,
Bell notes, setting hearts a-ire,
Broke the stiffness Of the day.
Shouting thousands heard the pealing,
Lifted faces all revealing
Hidden deeps of earnest feeling
At the vibrant music's play.
For they knew by that clear token
That the last strong plea was spoken,
That the English tie was broken,
Cast aside the CALLING yoke.
There was maddest joy that hour
OF people born to power,
And from out its high, lone bower
Brazen tongued the big bell spoke.

Ants Eat the Paper Money

Paper money cannot be used in the Phil
ippines. The islands are infested with
ants, which eat almost everything, and are
particularly fond of paper.
In recent shipment of money for the
troops was 100000 in paper money of
small denominations. and preparations
were being made to send more paper in the
next shipment, when warning was given
that hereafter nothing but gold and silver
coin must be sent to the islands.
It was stated that ants got into the boxes
and attacked the packages of bills, which
were saved from destruction only by the
greatest care. As far as officials here know,
none OF the money was actually destroyed,
the damage done being probably no more
serious than the eating away of the edges
Of notes or perhaps making holes through
some Of them.
