brides mother, Miss Olena Kemp, St.
Johns most popular young lady and one
of the leading educators of the county,
and Mr.. George W. Lewis, prominent
young man of Mesa City, were joined in
the holy bonds OF matrimony. The

She groom, being handsome young

way suit.
The happy pair were generously re-
membered ~ their many friends, and a

A GOOD SHOW:

The educational possibilities OF the
brute creation have probably been
reached by Prot. Gentry, who is
known all ever the land as wonder-
full trainer of dogs and ponies. His
company this year consists of over 275
handsome specimens of their kind, all
of whom have been educated to a
wonderful degree Of intelligence. The
entire company will display their
talents in Phoenix under tent, cor
ner Of Fifth and Washington, Satur-
day, Sept. 80, afternoon at 3 and
night at 8, and Sunday afternoon,
Oct. l, at 3 p. N. It is said by per-
sons who are authority on such sub
iects that Prof. Gentry has reached
tue final limit of what dogs and ponies
may be educated to do, and it is also
said that nothing further can he ac-
oomplished id that line. If this b..
true, Prof. q ntry certainly deserves
the phenomenal success that con
tif ually greets his exhibitions. The
prizes are decidedly reasonable and
anyone can afford to attend.

DR.. J. Miller. superintendent of the
asylum for the insane, has received a
box containing specimens from Coto :
paxi, one of the most noted active
VOLCANOES in the world. The specimens
we're sent by General A. J. Sampson,
who is United States consul at Quito,
Ecuador. They were sent to DR..
Miller to be distributed among the
different educationa! institutions of
Arizona. General Sampson asks that
samples be sent to the norma! school
at Tempe, the University of Arizona
at Tucson, the Phoenix High School,
and the Northern Arizona Normal
School at Flagstaff. Some excellent
samples were ser.t DIR. Miller fer the
Historical Society. DR.. Miller re-
ceiyed by mail instructions as to the
disposition of the articles, and he ee-
sires the schools mentioned to call or
send for the samples given them by
tie general. Or Miller says there
will be no expense aside from the cx-
rress charges from Phoenix to theil
destination.
There was also received specimens
of the birds that live in Ecuador. The
contents of the box arrived in gooc
condition after the long journey, anc
