 PAINS FIRE WORKS.-The coming of Pain to Phoenix with his fireworks and San Juan battle is a great event. Nothing like it has ever been seen in the west and nobody who has nAver seen it can have an idea of it's magni- tude. The principal thing If course is the battle scene. bus in addition to that there will be $1.OGO worth of fire works touched off. Pains fire worke' involves a train of five cars and a force of fifty trained men. Beside these there must be about 150 more. picked up from the local field to assist in the fiery demon- stration. Tucson tried to get Pain. but could not offer the inducement of popu- 1 lation. That is why Phoenix secured him for two nights. September s 24 and 25.

Upon her return the curtain was ablaze. Mrs Gleason quickly pulled it down but the flame had reached the cloth ceiling and could not be arrested. The building and con- tents were consumed, and it was ru- mOred that $400. secreted in the cellar. was lost. but this has since been denied.

 A STRONG CANDIDATE. - An nouncement of the candidacy of l.. W. Coggins before the republican county convention for the nomination for county recorder is mace in this issue of The Republican. Mir. Coggins is at present county assessor having been elected two years ago by a large ma jority. The office of assessor has never been more faithfully conducted than during the past two years. He is espe- cially fitted for the duties of the record CTS office. For many years he has been engaged in the abstract business and in that way is already thoroughly famil jar with all he VIII have to do. He will not have t be broken in. a process which usually occupies a considsrab blc part of a county recorders first term. Ten years of official life could not teach Mir. Coggins more about the business of the recorders office. If nominated and elected he will go into it a fully equipped incumbent. M reover. Mir. Coggins would add a gr at deal of strength to the county ticket. He cid so two years ago and his popularity has since been increased by an extended &C., quaintance and faithful attention to business.
