Phoenix is the Best
 E own in { America

Considering its age, its population and what it has accomplished. Our people going away each year to all parts of the country always come back with this verdict. There has been no boom, no bluster in it's building up. But its growth from a few adobe houses in a barren waste to a city of 12,00O inhab- i,ants, with fine schools and churches, electric lights and street cars, in the midst of a valley made rich and yer dant by irrigation, has been steady and sure. To the newcomer we want to say, you have made no mistake in com ing to Phoenix, whether for health or for business reasons. And to the one returning after the summers outing We would ask, Don't you think Phoenix is a pretty good place, after all? Of course, all of you will need many things in the house furnishing and hardware line and We feel sure you will not regret patronizing us with our low price spot cash system. Whether you buy or not, We ask you to call on us often and look our line over. It will surely pay you. Mail orders promptly filled.

THE CITY SCHOOL
A Much Better Display of Interest
 Than Attendance.

The city schools Were opened yester- day. The attendance was not so much greater than on other fist days. but there was a marked increase in the in lerest manifested by both pupils and parents many of whom accompani their children to the schools to see if they could hold the places in the grades to which they had been nat urally advanced or for which they were taking sXaminatiOns. There was no- il startling change in the personn of teachers in any of the schools. r - lessor F. (. Bunch has succeeded II. . lessor McNeff as principal of the West End. and in the East End Professor G. R. Kerr succeeds Professor C. O. Case, who has been transferred to the high school.
 In most of ;he schools there have been improvements calculated to in crease the comfort of the pupils. though there is one thing the trustees forgot about the Central building-an extensive bicycle rack. Probably 15O of the pupils take bicycles to school with them. They are leaned against the ruilding or any other support. piled up sometimes a dozen deep. if they were laken away III the same order in which they are placed there it would be all right. but that is something not to be expected. A boy after his wheel throws down every one on top of it with the certain result that they will be disfg- ured and the probability that some will be damag or broken. There is the old complaint of lack of room at the Central building.
 The enrolment yesterday, and it will be largely increased within the next day or two and sill more largely with il the next thTea weeks, fer many of the pupils are returning later than usual from their summ= vacation, was as follows:

INDIANS RAID CAMP.
Rowing Apaches Cause Trouble in New
 Mexico.

Santa Fe. N. NJ. Sept. 10.-A band of Indians raided a cowboy camp just be- low the border of Old Mexico yesterday The men in the employ of the Old and New Mexico Ranch and Cattle company and the Diamond A company estab- iished camp two miles south of the line in Plyas valley on Tuesday. Five cowboys left the camp with the horse herd to obtain water some miles away and when they returned found the camp in great confusion. all the food supplies being stolen and everything about the place being scattered Two new hats were smashed and new boots met like fate. The camp chest was broken open and the marauders de- strOyed the contents and polluted the box. The marauders are supposedly d remnant of the Apaches under the lead ership of the notorious Kid Albough. although it is possible that they belong to the Yaqui tribe.

Dublin fusileers, by Queen Victoria, to
replace the bugle lost by him on the
field of battle at Colenso on the 18th
December, 1899, when he was wounded"
His companions thought that he would
probably be more afraid to face the
queen than the enemy, but he stood
firmly to his guns and came off with
flying colors.
The queen asked him about his health,
and whether he had fully recovered
from his wound, and seemed to be
pleased with the frank and manly man
ner in which the little soldier acted,
and accepted with evident pleasure the
framed portrait of himself which he
presented to her. In the room where
the little fellow had to wait-and, ac-
cording to one account, this was in
the basement of the palace-he was
surrounded by servants from various
departments, who were all anxious
to see and speak to the young soldier.
And then ladies from other parts of
the building came and brought their
birthday books, which the bugler was
asked to sign against the date of his
birth, July IA; and before the sum
mons came to appear before the queen
he had held levee in the basement
on his own account.

BULLETS OF WATER.
Rnindrops Would XIII Us All If the
Air Did Not Prevent Their Swift
Descent

When you see the rain drops fall
ing do you ever think of how swiftly
they come down and what prevents
them from doing great damage?
Away up in the clouds little particles
of moisture gather until they form a
tiny drop. The droplets and ice crys-
tails that form the elements of the
cloud gradually or suddenly grow I'M
til their weight IS enough to bring
them to the ground before they can
be again evaporated.
The resistance that the air offers to
their passage keeps them from fall
ing too fast. The drop soon acquires
such a velocity that the air prevents
it from going any faster. The larger
and heavier the drop, the greater is
the speed at which it falls. but it is
never great enough to injure us or do
serious damage to animals or plants.
We're it not for the resistance of the
mir, drop of water. notwithstanding
that it is fluid. falling from the height
of half a mile. would be as dangerous
as 4 bullet. The swiftness and force
with which a projectile travels can be
made sufficient to compensate for any
softness or yielding quality it pos
,esses. candle, when fired from a
gun, will pass through board.

How a Little Boy Was Saved.

measles. In a few days he had a swell

wanted to lance the sore, but l would
not let him, and continued giving him
medicine for about four months, when
the bunch broke in two places and be-
came a running sore. Three doctors
said it was scrofula, and each or
dered blood medicine. A neighbor
told me of case somewhat like our
baby's which was cured by Hoods
Sarsaparilla. 1 decided to give it to
my boy and in short while his health
improved and his neck healed so nice
ly that 1 stopped giving him the med

sles had grown urbane. She wore a
blue gown and high-ribbed collar,
and she developed a genius for enter
tanning which had hitherto been I'M
suspected. She dispensed the simple
hospitality of the place with a gra-
cious air. Green Island. which had
always supposed there must be a big
spread of cakes and pickles, jammed
meats, wondered at the calm coun-
tenance with which the young min
lister served a few cookies or crackers
and tea. But it concluded. after a
time, that this was sensible, if some
what conspicuously frugal.
At the end of year Green Island
found itself in a state of activity. 1t
had two literary societies. a singing
club, class in lathe work of an orna-
mental character, a guild of fine
needle workers, a civic committee who
cut weeds down beside the streets,
cleaned up unsightly dumps, made a
flower garden in the school, and res
cued the cemetery from unseemly
neglect. Moreover, it had golf links
north of the town and Rev. Thomas
Kite was president. major-domo. crack
player. Green Island people began TO
wonder why more folks didn't move
to town, and to marvel if anybody left
it. 1t began to talk about its inter-
esting social circles. 1t thought it
would be a good thing for the rail
road if it should come there. And it
concluded, finally. that il couldn't af-
ford to let Thomas Kite go to some
other town two Sundays out of every
three. So it multiplied his salary in
ratio, and even went the length of
paying what it agreed to.
HE made this town" said Deacon
Fennig to his daughter. There's no
getting around that. 1t was because
he was alive way through. Them the
illogical corpses almost done us up.
But | guess there was good deal
of the corpse about the lot of us.
Mr.. Kite. he kind a galvanized us"
Mary Fennig sighed, but said moth
ing. She had her own view of the
case. 1t didn't seem at all difficult to
imagine a more appropriate mistress
for the picturesque parsonage than
the squint-eyed Martha Wessles.-

NEW SENATE SECRETARY.
Charles G. Bennett, Recently Elected,
Is Young Man of More Than
Ordinary Abilities.

The new secretary of the United
States senate, Hon. Charles Goodwin
Bennett, is an exceptionally young man
to have been elected to such an honor
able and important office. But worth
is often recognized before years and
white hairs announce the period when
confidence may be placed with surety.
Mr.. Bennett was born in the city of
Brooklyn, December II, 1868. He has
always ~esided there, though his law
offices are located in New York. He

the prayers, and he had the congrega-
ton respond in the reading of the
Scriptures. Altogether, the service
seemed exceedingly short but the eau
tiuus consultation of watches showed
it to have been of the usual length.
The people had expected to be greet
ed in condescending sort of way
by their pastor. Such was the GUS
tom. But this young man-his name,
by the way, was Rev. Thomas Kite
appeared to think he ought to 1e
greeted by them. He waited rather
modestly for the older people to well
come him, and was gracious, but not
over-cordial. For once Green Island
had to do its half of brotherly friend
Illness. Hitherto it had basked in the
condescending, yet propitiating, smiles
of its clergyman.
Rev. Kite gave housewarming in
his barn presently and invited every
body. 1t was in the afternoon, and
he had games and got up football II.
No one knew how he succeeded. Even
baseball had languished hitherto at
Green Island. Also he invited three
young fellows to go rowing up the
river with him the next week, to be
gone all day. And as no one invited
him to dinner he asked the deacons
of his church and their wives to dine
with him. He had Miss Wessles,
spinster of the discreet age and char
acter, presiding over his domestic af-
fairs.
Green Island went home from this
remarkable house-warming in a flut-
ter. To begin with, it wanted to know
where Rev. Thomas Kite got the
money for all this entertainment.
Moreover, it would be pleased to as
certain how he was to find time for
supping and boating and football play
ing and the like. His conduct with
the young ladies was carefully re-
viewed, but no one was able, even aft
er the most strenuous efforts, to say
that he paid more attention to one
than the other.
Everyone was at church the next

Rev. Kite neglected to mention Green
Island or its prospects or condition,
spiritual or temporal. He complained
of no lack of interest. He merely said
he would take the Bible class for
picnic the following Thursday and
asked that the Lady's society arrange
for a picnic for the younger Sunday
school scholars. Without knowing it.
Green Island began to enjoy itself. It
began to find itself interesting. 1t
was profoundly complimented when
Rev. Kite put the stamp of approval
on Nina Cutters singing by inviting
everyone to hear her at his house one
autumn evening. 1t was vastly enter
tanned by the Tennyson readings he
gave Monday nights. All of these af-
fairs were held in the large room in
the renovated barn, where the great
red brick fireplace was, and the
shelves of books. and the piano and
comfortable plain chairs. Miss Wes-

INDIANS IN MEDICINE DANCE.
Yakima Tribe Oh Reservation Near
TOppenish, WASH, Engage I'm Ancient

Rites.
Yakima Indians on the reservation
near Toppenish. Wash, gave a medi-
cine dance. Half of the tribe, includ-
ing Chief White Swan is civilized. Old
customs and dances have long been
abolished.
Two hundred Indians gathered I'M
known to the chief and performed
the rites. The dance lasted seven
days. Seven candidates for the place
of medicine man underwent severe
tests of endurance.
Every day the candidates would tor-
ture themselves. Fire brands were
applied to the bare skin until the
flesh dropped from the bones. Gashes
were cut on the back and breast. The
one who withstood these self-infiicted
tortures longest won the position.

torture, and is being tenderly nursed,
