Got Clear Away.

The thief who stole the horse
and saddle from Haiaes Bros. has
never been heard from, and it is
believed that he has gotten clean
away with his plumber. 1t was
a very bold and daring piece of
work and he must have been a
very clever rascal to be able to so
completely cover his tracks as to

j. c. Adams Comes to Rock Island to Sing
the Praises of His Arizona Home.
j. c. Adams, wife and daughter, of
Phoenix, Ari., arrived in Rock Island
| this morning for a short Visit with
cid relatives and friends. They are
stopping at the Harper. Mr.. Adams,
as is known, has served Phoenix as
| mayor, and is now postmaster, and
president of the board of trade, an
organization composed of the repre-
sentative citizens of the city. Mr..
| Adams is as enthusiastic as ever about
the heavenly charms of Phoenix. He
talks continually of the virtues, eli
mate, people and environments of his
new western home. As his friends
here realize, John is proprietor of the
biggest hotel in Arizona, the Hotel
Adams, located at Phoenix, and the
season when Arizona is fairest is ap-
preaching, but he talks nevertheless
| with the earncstness of conviction and
satisfaction. "Pick out the most per-
feet day you ever saw or dreamt of, :"
said Adams this morning, land you
have what we have with scarcely any
interruption from Nov. Is to May Is.
That is the typical Arizona day
when you people up here are
shivering in your overcoats.
Why, we never have it below
% above zero. never have snow, never
feel the chill of borean blast. And
during the winter season in that val
ley, cloudy day is rarity. Day in
and day out it is the same even tenn
perature, rapturously delightful.
And in the summer? 1t is never
excessively hot. What you would
swelter under up here, we revel in
there. At no in the shade men work
ont on brick walls, the same as they
do here at 50. There never was such
a thing as a sunstroke in Phoenix.
Why? The dryness of the atmos-
phere. There is no moisture in the
air. You touch the bulb of Their
mometer there during the heated sea-
son, and the mercury will go down
instead of up. Yes, sir, Phoenix is
heavenly. At night more stars shine
on Phoenix than anywhere else on
the globe, and the air is so clear that
on moonlight night letter may be
read as distinctly out of doors as by
any artificial light. All, Phoenix is
