 PROMPT TRANSMISSION-S Some quick telegraphic work was done lasC night. Chairman J. P. Dillon of the democratic territorial committee sent a dispatch from Prescott to Col. J. F. Wilson via Los Angeles. In one min ute from the instant of the last touch of the key at Prescott the operator had it typew written. The Western Union de- sires The Republican to state that this is about the promptest transmission on record. Col. Wilson regards it as an suspicious circumstance. He says 1T this record for speed can be kept up during the campaign Governor Murphy will be given the race of his life.

 SCARCITY OF MIXOLOGISTs. - Experts in the high art of mixing drinks are scarce in Phoenix; in fact. are not common anywhere" remarked hotel man yesterday. There are not half dozen first-class bartenders in this city, although there are many men who pose as good mixers of the stuff that cheers. l tell you the modern bar tender is somewhat of wonder. He must not only know all the old reli- able connections and the exact quan- tity of each ingredient, but must keep himself posted on the new inventions. and have the speed necessary to serve them in lightning time and care for the needs of as many men as can line up at his bar. In addition to all this ! he must be able to control his own de- sire to drink generally most difficult thing where man is surrounded by barrels and bottles of temptation" PUSHING THE CARNIVAL. The committee appointed by the board of 1 trade to arrange for the carnival will meet Friday morning and map out a definite plan on which to build its ar engagements. The committee consists of Messrs. George Luhrs, J. c. Adams $. P. Clark, David Goldberg and s. NJ. McCOwan. Action was deferred until after the conventions, but there is nothing now in the way of the progress | of the work and the committee will set ! tie down to earnest labor. It is likely 1 that the principal matter at Fridays | meeting will be the settlement of the | time of holding the festival. Mr. Ad-
 ans is strongly in favor of having it | in December, as was the last carnival. | and Mr. Clark is also of that mind. | They say that at that time all visitors
 can be accommoda ted, while later on it | may not be possible to care for very l large crowd. Some of the other mem- | bers are of the belief that week dur | ingJanuary or February would be bet 1 ter, in that it would serve to amuse T | greater number of visitors and thus l advertise the city to a wider extent.
