All roads will lead to Phoenix this week, and indications all point to the largest crowd that has ever been saen in the city. The business outlook has never been so bright, and this week will fill the coffers of men in all lines of trade. From ar parts of the terri tory come reports that large crowds will come from every city and town, a result due, in a great degree, to the generous manner in which the provin- cial press has handled the carniva. advertising. Every paper of any inn portance has loyally supported the car nival and boomed it in every possible way, and to the country papers much of the praise of the success of the car nival must be given.

Along with the banks, the money or der window at the postofIice is consid- cred a criterion of business conditions. On last Monday III money orders were sold, more than upon any other day since the establishment of the post office-surely an indication that busi- ness is booming.

During their stay at the carnival, visitors should not fail to consider the opportunity to replenish their stock of footwear and that to get the best re- suits, they should visit the H. A. Diehl Shoe company. MT. Diehl has been in the shoe business for longer period than any other exclusive dealer in the territory. By close insight of the bus mess, he has been enabled to select the best line of shoes that are made, and brides himself on the high grade of his stock. In gentlemen's shoes, he han dles the Burt and Packard and John son and Murphy lines, and for ladies, he has the Laird. Schober & Co.,. the Krippendorf & Dittman, and the Lind ner company's shoes. The Ideal kid, a new leather, but wears better, is a popular favorite at the Diehl store. They not only carry a fine line of shoes, but cheap shoes, to suit all purses.

An impolite clerk in one of our dry goods houses was taught lesson he will not soon forget yesterday. A prom inent young lady entered the store and inquired for a piece of a certain kind of braid.

How much do you want?" The girl looked him squarely in the eye, and the latter sought the floor. 'I do not want any, now," said sine. Thereafter, I'll go elsewhere" and with d final willing glance of the icy eye, she left the place. The floor walker heard part of the con- versation. The investigation was brief, and now there is a new clerk in that store.

Tennis, as a sport, is seemingly dead. Last year the Phoenix tennis club, composed of high school players, was very active, but this winter has as ye- taken no interest i'll the sport.

 By their action in opposing the pro- posed bull fight for tomorrow, the city ministers have dcne more, to impress upon the public the power of right over wrong when the right was proper ly backed than any previous action that has been taken in that line The strong effect of their concerted action has certainly done much toward strengthening the ministerial arm in future crusades. The ministers worked quietly, but to the point; in fact, their action was directed by a master hand, that of Rev. C. V. Cowan, the chief mover in the work. The ministers hes itated for some time before taking radi- cal action. It had been brought to the attention of the pastors that the midway exhibition was to be grossly immoral. and they investigated that, to hHu that dll lHe SuSSS9Il'S 94-N"S VI" to be barred out. Then the bull figAt came up. There was another inVestl- gation. Attorneys were called in and Uncle Sanrs law put into action. There will be no bull fight. The ministers are to be congratulated.

At no time in the history of the city has so much advertising been done by Phoenix merchants as during the past week. During this week the Republi- can will carry by far more advertis- ing than it has ever before held in the same space of time, an incident which certainly testifies to the education of the public to the fact that a leading newspaper is the most profitable ad- vertising medium. The usual large number of advertising fakes were used on the merchants in preparing for the carnival week. There were programs, pamphlets and cards without end. but the Phoenix merchant is learning by experience that advertising by such methods is never worth the paper upon which it is written.

Chicago League Club Will Get the
Crack Players.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-Present indications
do not bear out the reports that there
cago National league team, headed by
James A. Hart, and the American
league, led by Ban B. johnson At least,
that the National league magnate here
will claim from the American league,
under the contract which gave the new
association the right to play a team here
last spring.
The two players have already been
selected by Mr. Hart and Ban Johnson
was responsible for the statement today
that both of these men will be on the
pay list of Mr. Hart next season. There
are Hartzel, left fielder of the Indian
apolis club. and Roscoe Miller of the
Detroit club, who is now recognized as
the best pitcher in the American league.
Both Managers watkins and Burns
demurred. for they realized that the
very best men were being taken from
them. But the players will come to
Chicago next season.

wHEELMAN's NOVEL IDEA.
Will Try to Ride Across the Sahara
Desert-Crossed Chilcoot Pass.

Chicago. Aug 2s.-Chilcoot Pass was
crossed last year by c. A. Stevens who
constructed a snow cycle with tires as
large as those on an automobile. The
machine proved such a success that more
are being built for use in the Cape Nome
region
stevens, who recently returned from the
gold fields, is about to start for Africa,
where he will ride across the Sahara He
has been experimenting on very sandy
roads and as a result of his discoveries,
the bicycle will be built with a wider
frame and larger fork than the ordinary
Wheel providing a wider tread to allow
the use of a big fat tire four inches wide.
Stevens believes that such tire win
prevent the wheel from sinking deeply
into the sand and will enable him to
make good time across the desert. The
wheel will be a chainlesS one and with
the exception of the changes in tire and
frame, will be the same the with
which he beat all transportation records
over Chilcoot Pass.
Stevens will make the trip in the rear
of a camel train, so that If he finds it i'm
possible to finish it on his wheel he can
take to a camel. The wheel weighs thirty
pounds.

than Corbett the object being to develop
the latter's speed to the utmost.
But it was from the bout with Gon that
the spectators derived the best 1n1orma-
ton. Corbett was bigger and stronger,
for he must weigh all of 1873 pounds, yet
one could not help being somewhat dis
appointed. During the entire bout he
hardly struck q straight blow His let's

nous, while at the infighting he looked
as if he would be the mercy of
strong, rugged boxer His desire to get
away quickly naturally lessened the force
of his blows. But IL Corbett's aggressive
tactics. which are not his strong point,
were a tr1f1e disappointing, his defense
was superb, almost impenetrable. He has
lost no skill in that direction and the
blocking and footwork which enabled him
to outpoint Champion Jeffries for twenty
three rounds stood out prominently. Cor

work and is in great shape, although per-

makers were now Mccoy adherents- and
this fact may help the price on Ccrbett.

Pitched Battle at Salina Occurs
In Early Morning.
Residence of Geo. Bishop At
tackled and Bombarded.
BRICKBATS THROWN,
Bishop Had Shot at His Neigh
bors,Chickens and Cats.
Several Shots Fired During the
Lively Fight.

Salina, Aug. ga neighborhood war on
North Santa Fe illuminated in pitched
battle early in the morning between Geo.
A Bishop and a party of his neighbors.
The battle lasted for So minutes, be-
tween lao o'clock and 2:35 In the morn
ing, and five shots were exchanged.
Mr.. Bishop says he was sound asleep,
when crash of broken glass and splint-
cred timber awakened him. Upon inves-
tigation he found all the panes of glass
and the sash broken out of the lower
part of his window and a perfect hail
storm of brickbats, railroad iron and odd
missiles coming through the hole where
the window had been.
Bishop put his curtain back in place and
awaited developments for awhile, but
there seemed to be no let-up to the bonn
bardment, so he pulled his revolver and
fired point blank at the bombardfng party.
Three shots from many revolvers
swered his shot and he fired again. After
a few more missiles the bombarding party
finally left Bishop in peace, with load
of rock, brick and old iron among the
wreckage of the interior of his house.
Trouble has been brewing between
Bishop and his neighbors for some time.
Bishop kept a garden, and his neighbors
kept dogs and chickens playing hide
and seek in his garden and he took a few
shots at any Strays that happened to be
in reach. This increased the bitterness,
until the battle of Saturday night result
ed. No arrests have yet been made, but
lawsuits will doubtless follow.

Mugsy McGraW Still Leads Big
League Batters.
Wagner and Flick Are Close at
His Heels.
CRIGER BEST CATCHER
Roy Thomas Has Easily Made
the Most Runs.
Quinn Announced the Best Sec
Ond Baseman.

New York, Aug. 2s.-Latest figures of
the league campaign. compiled up to
last Thursday, show that urbane and
courteous gorilla, Mugsy McGraw, still
perched in the place Of leading bats
man of the whole procession. His record
has fallen in a fortnight from .404 to
1893, and two sturdy hitters, Wagner
and Flick, are at his heels. One or the
other OF this pair will probably lead the
league when the strife is over.
Jake Beckley ranks sixth among the
good hitters. while Irwin and Barrett,
who are now over the 300 mark again,
are Cincinnati's other contributors to
the 500 column. Thirty-five men are
batting over the 800 mark and the num-
Der is not likely to be much altered dur
ing the balance of the season
Roy Thomas has made more runs than
anyone else and Wagner the most base
hits.
Criger still leads the Catchers in the
fielding records, though by a narrow
margin. Kahoe comes in fifth, Peitz
tenth and Wood twelfth Tannehill
leads the pitchers McGann leads at
first, Beckley ranking eighth. Joe Quinn
still tops the second basemen, while
Steinfeldt comes eighth Cincinnati
takes a double-header with the third
basemen, Irwin and Steinfeldt both hav-
ing fat margins over all competitors
Steiney's record is the better of the two
in point of hard labOr-1S0 accepted
chances to TWINS 149.
Dahlen leads the shortstops, Corcoran
eighth. Heidrick heads the center field
ers, Donovan the right helders and
Kelley the left gardeners, their names,
oddly enough, coming in order. Sam
Crawford is eighth among the suburban
players.
Philadelphia still leads in team bat
ting, Brooklyn five points to the bad.
Cincinnati is seventh. Brooklyn leads in
fielding, and the Reds are tied with
Boston for second honors. Cincinnati
leads in extra base hits, and Father
on scientific batting when he sees that
the three clubs weakest in batting per-
centages lead the league in mere slug
ging.
Hans Wagner is easily the star in
divfdual sluggger, Flick second Sam
Crawford fourth. Sheckard leads the
base runners, Mertes second, Barrett
eighth. McGinity holds his rank as
leading pitcher, and Tannehin clings
pitchers who have been in ten games
Scott ranks tenth, .Breitenstein thir-
teenth and Hahn sixteenth in the list.
A special table show ing runs per game
of each pitcher, bases on balls and
strike outs tells some interesting tales.
Cy Young has done the most effective
pitching in the land 80 runs per game,
and hut rs passes in 20 battles. Tame
hill shows up finely. and the great work
a winning club behind him. Four of the
Pitsburg pitchers stand so high that the
victorious career of their team. despite
the weak batting, is easily understood
Hahn shows up best for Cincinnati, with
413 runs per game.

cy Williams, of Bergen Beach. met
William A. Brady, representing Jeffries,
yesterday afternoon. Last Saturday
Fitzsimmons deposited $500 to bind a
match between himself and Jeffries for
next Friday night and Brady sent word
thatFhe would meet Fitzsimmons to ar
range for a battle between Jeffries and
the ex-heavyweight champion Fitz-
simmons said he was ready and willing
to meet Jeffries ON Friday night before
the Twentieth Century club under any
conditions as to the division of the
purse or gate receipts which. would suit
Brady. He said he would be satisfied
for the winner to take all or to split
the purse in half or to give So per cent
to the winner, or Go per cent to the
loser, or in fact, any terms possible so
that he could meet the present cham
pion before the expiration of the Horton
law. Brady, in reply, said that Jenries
was in no condition, as he had quit
training several days ago. He said 1t
would be unfair to F'itzsimmonS to
force a match with a man physically
unfit for such a contest Fitzsimmons
replied that JeffrieS had had plenty OF
time to get into condition, and said
that although he had gone through two
very severe battles during the last two
weeks, he was on edge now and ready
to fight to regain the championship.
Brady said it was impossible for q
fight, to take place between Jeffries and
Fitzsimmons on the date mentioned,
but that he would put UP a forfeit at
once to bind a match between the two,
the fight to take place within three
months from September 1 and a side,
bet of 100000 Fitzsimmons would not
listen to this proposition, and said that
it was only made for advertising pur-
poses.

THE MAN WITH THE HOE.
Nearly Brains His Father-in-Law in a
Quarrel Near Burlington.

Burlington. Aug. 2S.-As a result of
a family row J. T. Cunningham,
farmer, living about five miles south of
town, is in Jail, and his father-in-1aw,
T. Hurd, is lying at the point of death
with hole in his skull two inches
square. The trouble arose Sunday
morning over some hay in which Hurd
and q neighbour, Will Cokely, had an
interest Mrs. Cunningham and her
father became angry at Cunningham
and made an assault on him, armed
with clubs Cunnin CHAM got away from
them, locked himself in the house and
started to get out of a window. Being
stopped by Hurd, he ran through the
door and caught up a two-pronged gar
den hoe to defend himself.
Humid. while advancing. dropped his
club and took up a scythe, with which
he struck at Cunningham, who drove
one prong of the hoe through a. heavy
winter cap into the skull of Hurd above
the left ear. The brain was penetrated.
The wounded man retained conscious
ness for several hours. This morning
Drs. Salisbury, Cleveland and McMul-
len removed several pieces of the frac-
tured skull and say there is small
chance for the mans recovery.
Cunningham was arrested, charged
with assault with intent to kill. Mr..
Cokeley witnessed the whole affair and
his testimony would seem to establish
a clear case of self defense. Mr.. Hurd
is 70 years old, but is a more vigorous
man than his son-in-law, who is 62
years old.

$4,000 LESS INDEBTEDNESS.
| Cowley County's Bonded indebtedness
Has Been Reduced.

Winfield, Aug. 28.-The board of coun-
ty commissioners for Cowley county
through the creation of a five mill tax
for sinking fund have reduced the
bonded indebtedness of the county $22,
900 in the last year. This was done July
1, 1900, and the cancelled bonds have just
been returned to County Clerk Geo. w.
Sloan's office. The creation of a tax of
1--WE mills was for the sole purpose of
lifting debts, and as a result of this
levy, the county will be able next year
to cancel about $4,000 more indebted
ness
Last year was the first this tax was
levied and as long as times keep as
prosperous as they have in the past four
years, it will be possible to keep this
tax alive In the meantime should con-
ditions change the county will not lose
and incidentally will have smaller debt
outstanding.
