AN IMPORTANT ELECTION.

The approaching city election is one of considerable importance to the city. The taxpayers, byalmost man- imous vote has authorized the issu- ance of Sl00000 bonds to put in an auxiliary water system from Del Rio. The bonds have been sold by the pres ent city council on advantageous terms to the city. Work has barely commenced on the water system so that it will be well into next year be- fore it will be completed, and final settlement be required. The super vision of the work and its acceptance will devolve largely upon the new of fcers to be elected on January 2. Hence the importance of electing only such as are capable business men, whose reputation for honesty is above suspicion and who will guard well the interests of the people and see that full value is returned to them for their big outlay of money.
 The election is a business one purely and simply, no politics being involved in it whatever. The same principles are involved as in the in diyidual private business of each tax payer, and each one, in casting his vote should be governed by the same principles that actuates him in taking man in his employ.
 Is he competent to discharge the duties of the position9 Is he man man of integrity, who will deal justly with his constituents? Will he be guided solely by desire to subserve the best interests of the whole city, rather than by some selfish or per sonal ends of his own? The man to whom an affirmative answer to the above interrogatories can be given, will be a safe man for either mayor or city councilman.

The Kew Cock JeweIry Store.

Geo. H. Cook & Co. are moving into their new store building on the north side of the plaza today. and f, a daT or two will have things in shape to present their immense line Of iav-- elrv and Christmas g0Ods to spIcndil eff,.ot.
 The new store is l5catnI in the new Union block and has been built and arranged especially for that line of business. The inside york of paint in-, paperhaa-i2 and decorating has been done 5y Rudolph Barhr which k d guarantee in itself of its beauty and fitness.
 There are seven large wall show cases made of quarter oak and French plate glass. lined with mirrors. which gives a splendid effect to the beautiful silverware, etc. with which they are filled. Besides these there are six very lar~a counter show eases brim- ming full of all kinds of jewelry.
 In the rear of the display room is a room especially fitted up for optical tests in !itting glasses to the eyes.
 There is also a large store room which is full Of g5o.ls that they are unable to display.

The lower house of congress has passed the war revenue reduction bill abolishing the tax on freight and ex. press receipts, telegrams, cheeks and deeds of transfer, and reducing rev enue on beer.
 A London telegram says that Rich ard Croker has purchased an elegant place near London and that he has shaken the dust of the United States from of his feet for good, and will make his permanent home there. There are lots of people in the United States who would be missed more than Croker.
 Los Angeles has taken a vi1tuous streak again by enforcing the anti pitting-on-the-sidewalk ordinance. A grist of spitters was up before the Po- lice judge on Friday and each was fined at the rate of fifty cents a spit. Where a man had only indulged in one spit he was let off with a fifty cent fine; two splits called for dollar, and so on up the scale. The Times says that if the police can go on col lecting fifty cents per spit, the city will reap such large revenue that people can stop paying taxes, and the sidewalks will be in much better con dition.

A Daily Bird Congress.

A very beautiful sight can be wit messed every morningat the residence of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Otis on Pleas ant street in East Prescott. Mir. and Mrs. Otis have a barrel and tub in their yard which they keep filled to the top with water, and from about half past seven to nine o'clock every morning, hundreds, if not over a thousand birds come there for water The tree tops in the vicinity will be filled with the little chirpers, awaiting their turn to get at these places to drink. The rim of the barrel and tub will be constantly filled with a circle oi birds, just as many as can squeeze in crowding on them and as soon as one satisfies its thirst and with a ehirp another fies away and another swoows down and takes its place. They seem to take their places in reg ular order as there is no scrambling for places, but all is orderly and quiet, each particular bird apparently knowing when it is its turn to take a drink, and none of the others inter- fering with it or disputing its right. While those on the barrel and tub are engaged in drinking those on the tree top keep up a constant chatter and chirping. As stated it takes from an hour to an hour and a half for them to be accommodated at the tub and barrel. The Journal-Miner man is not well enough up in ornithology to tell what particular species of birds they are, but they are plump and round in body, have a yellow breast and dark wings with a white spot on them.

They Were Caught Mapping.

Three prominent officials of the $. F., P. X F. railroad were the vic tins last night of an unintentional joke caused by some misunderstood ing. Having business at Hot Springs and also at PheniX they put car No. 9S into commission and attached it to last nights south bound train. the itinerary being to go to Hot Springs Junction, visit Hot Springs today, re- turn tomorrow to the junction, pro ceed to PheniX tomorrow night so as to combine a little pleasure with busi- ness by taking in the carnival sights on Friday and Friday evening. After leaving Prescott they retired for the night, in order to be well refreshed this morning for the stage Journey to Hot Springs. All being possessed of the clearest conscienceS their slum- bers were sound and unbroken. and when they awoke this morning they were surprised to find themselves rolling along down grade just ap- preaching Prescott, while their car should have been stationary at Nor ristOwn. Some strong ejaculations of surprise, coupled with some equally strong language of another character, it is needless to say, was indulged in. Their car was taken through to Nor ristown and side tracked there, but through some sort of a mistake tEe agent there had it coupled to the north bound train while it's occupants were in sleeping ignorance of the move

Will Engage in Practice.

Dr. J. \. McCandIess has opened his office temporarily in W. W. Ross drug store, where his old patrons and friends can find him. After a practice of over a quarter of a century in Prescott, with a previous experience in the army, no physician is better equipped for the successful practice of his profession than Dr. McCand- less. Not only has he the extensive experience of his practice to profit from, but he has always been a close student in his profession and has kept in constant touch with the prac- tice of medicine in general, as report ed in medical journals and standard medical authorities of all kinds.
 In resuming practice in Prescott he has decided to make a speciality of diseases incident to this climate. par ticularly those of diseases of the stomach and bowels and levers result ing from them. It is a well known fact that the levers in this climate. on accout of altitude or other influences take on a different form than is found in other places and the doctor has made a special study of them, hence is specially equipped for the success full treatment of them.

The mOtherIy Girl.

Everyone knows her, for she is al-
 ways trying to do some little thing ] for some one. She is the girl that
 wants to fix your tie if it is on crook ei; to tell the young lady stranger that her hat Is not on straight and such little favors. She got into Col Orado, Texas, the other day, accord ing to the Stockman of that place. It was in church Sunday evening. In front of her was a handsome looking gentleman, immediately dressed, but a white thread hung down over his collar, and on his black coat glared at her. Of course she couldn't stand it and gently reached over to pull it off. She got a hold of it and gave it a little pull. but only got about a foot of it. There was more of it. Well, she had started and would have to finish anyhow, so she gave a good yank and this time got about a yard of it. The people in the neighborhood lost track of the sermon and became interested. The young lady blushed but sine was built of the right metal and began to pull in hand over hand, determined tO get it all if possible. Put there was no end, apparently, and it was only when the gentleman turned around to see what was tickling his back that she finally really realized that she was mravel- ing his undershirt. It certainly was diScOuraging.

NEW AND INGENIOUS DEVICES

Powder for fiashlight pictures is re placed by gas in new invention, which has the gas stored in jar, with a flame in position to ignite it when the jar is opened by pressure on pneumatic bulb, the latter also operating the shutter of the camera.
 By the use of a new steam radiator attachment the air is drawn from the interior to admit more steam when the radiator cools, thermostat being connected with a valve to open the ex- haust outlet and allow the steam to flow in without regard to the other radiators on the circuit.
 Two Montana men have patented a handy knife sharpener, which has a pair of small grindstones inserted in movable jaws, with system of gearing inside a casing, to which the jaws are attached, crank being used to revolve the train and turn the stones rapidly over the blade to be sharpened.
 A novel mouse trap makes use of an ordinary bowl to catch the rodents, having a flat board in which two pins are stuck short distance apart, with horizontal rods pivoted to the tops of the pins in contact with each other, supporting the edge of the bowl in a raised position until the bait is dis turbed.
 Stamps can be rapidly affixed by a new machine, which has the tube in which the stamps are stacked gummed side up, with a wick running from a water chamber to the top of the tube, to wet the envelope as it is inserted at the end of the tube, when a knob is pressed to force the envelope against the stamp.

A Well Equipped Meat Market.

One of the most philosophical sui ferers of the recent great fire was Joe Roberts, proprietor of the o. k. Meat Market, who, though his loss was almost complete. never for moment lost heart or good humor. and before the ruins had ceased to smoulder he had made up his mind that from the ashes of his old shop should arise one of the finest meat markets in Arizona, and that his determination has been carried out no one will doubt who makes thorough inspection of his new shop in the Lawler block, on the west side of north Cortez street.
 The main shop is 2OxS0 feet. with a basement of 20x40 feet. The upper part Is divided into three departments the salesroom, cold storage and pri- vate office. The finishing of the room is in grained oak, while the ceiling is of pale blue tint, giving if a pretty combination. Beth the front and back counters are white marble. and marble slabs will be used for the show windows. The meat racks are all solid steel and very substantial and numerous. The cold storage room will he divided into three compart- ments and have total capacity of 3090 cubic feet. The private office will be located back of the cold stor- age room and will bc handsomely fur nished when complete.
 The basement will contain the ammonia plant for the cold storage. and also the sausage kitchen. It is well arranged for the purpose, there being a cement floor and connections with both water system and sewer.
 The entire building wifi be lighted by electricity and heated iii winter by steam and hot water.
 Back of inc main building is bric& building which will be used as a ren- dering room and smoke-houSe.
 There is also d large poultry yard with all kinds of poultry kept alive, fat and healthy. and patrons of the market cal be supplied with fowls dressed at any hour of the day, while you wait.
 Thus, everything considered. AEr. Roberts can justly feel proud of his new market, for it certainly would do credit to any city, and the citizens of Prescott should appreciate the effort to supply them with a first-class, up- tO-date meat market.

AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHY.

A long focus, by which is meant a long bellows camera, is a good thing to have for general field work.
 The cameo process of making photo graphs comprehends the use of pressesl dies and special apparatus, in addition to degree of skill and care impossible to the average amateur. It is one of the most difficult of all photographic processes.
 Alcohol is the usual medium for the quick drying of plates, but here is an- other very good way. Make up solU- tion of formatin one part, and water nine parts. Immerse the negative in this for five minutes, then give it 8 quick plunge into hot water and stand it up to dry. The formatin hardens the film so that it can hardly be melted even by prolonged soaking in hot water
 The usual reason why amateurs fail to get good pictures of flowers is that they use an ordinary plate instead of an isochromatic. Getting good flower pictures I believe l may say is impossi- ble without the use of isochromatic plates, because the delicate color val ues which more than the form make the beauty of flower, are on the ordi- nary plate quite lost. A ray filter used as an ordinary plate will, of course, have more or less of the same effect;
 During June, the light from nine in the morning until three in the after noon is about equable and perfect snapshots can be gotten anywhere with in thosshours. The best snapshot time in the other summer months, say May and July, is between ten and two. This does not mean that good snapshots cannot be gotten before the morning hour named or after the afternoon hour. have gotten fine snapshots as late as six o'clock in the evening. The best results, however, are gotten near CT the middle of the day.-"Snapshot," in Philadelphia Press.

Cobre Grande SuIt Settled.

The fierce Cobre Grandc fight has been ended. For several days law yers and litigants from the north and the south have been converging in Phenix and yesterday an agreement was reached and signed by which all the litigation in Arizona, the Republic of Mexico and the State of Texts will be abandoned.
 The beginning of this end is said to have occurred at Nogales a week ago, where the parti, to inc dispute held a conference of two or three days.
 This is one of the bitterest mining litigations which hare occurred in re cent years and has the added ii~tinc- tioh of having been carried on in two countries and in two languages.
 Under this agreement the Cobre Giaude mine and other properties in dispute are to remain in the posses sion of the so-caiied Greene faction. The exact terms of the rest of the settlement have not been made pub lie, except the fact that the Greene people will take up the Cobre Grande stock at par, or nearly at par, which is S2.5O. The number of shares in cluded in this agreement is said to be 112,000. There are still other shares on the outside not figured upon in the agreement, but they will no doubt be taken up at the same figure.
 These shares were sold at prices ranging from 10 cents to s. 4 great many are held in Phenix and most of them were purchased at about par.
 It is said that the Greene people further agree to pay the costs of the litigation which has been going on for two years, and it is further understood that the Shirley interests in the mat ter are to be satisfied and, in fact, that everything is to be wiped off the slate.
 The arrangement is said to be sat isfactory to all parties, or to be at least much more satisfactory than continuation of the law suits would be. The settlement was largely eff fected through the offices of Presi- dent E. B. Gage of the Cobre Grande and the representative of all interests adverse to the Greene interests.-Re- publican.

ENGLAND NOT PLEASED.

English newspapers comment on the Davis amendment to the Hay Paunceforte treaty as follows.
 The London Times says: "Jingoes and Anglophobes have t1umhped. Americans intend to fortify the canal despite treaty engagements. Wecan- not stand by and see the Clayton Bulwer treaty to be thus imperiously set aside. Good relations between the two countries are seriously men aced."
 The London Graphic says:
 Anglo American Statesmenship will find an amicable solution. We fail to see, however, how the Clayton Bulwer treaty can be got rid of with out the mosquito territory reverting to Great Britian."
 The Standard says:
 England cannot possibly accept the Hay-Paunceforte treaty thus amended at Washington"
 The Evening Post says:
 There is no way of enforcing Clay ton-Bulwer treaty, but it would be open to England to consider the feas- ibility of constructing another canal alone or in csnjuction with other nations"
