CHANGE FOR SOMEONE
Need of Structure for the Storage of
 Archives.

Some one with an eyS to business and a little money to invest should investi- gate the possibilities of safety de- posit enterprise in this city. There is assuredly need of sue an institution and the only thing to consider is whether or not it coe i be made profit able.
 While the banks and the private safes of the merchants of the city are sufficient to hold all the money in town and the smaller documents of value, there is much of bulky nature that cannot be safely protested from fire without building specially con- structed for the purpose, and that can not be put in the strong boxes of the banking institutions.
 A safety deposit building. as cen trally located as possible, fire-proof and built for the purpose ought to prove 2 good investment. IL should coniain nothing else and be constructed for the preservation of all manner of vi,lu- ables, books. papers, etc.
 The need for such an institution was particularly brought to notice yesier- day when a search was being made for document that should be among the archives of local justice court, but which could not be found. No one is particularly to blame for the reason that tine county has never pto- vided for the safekeeping of the vast accumulation of court documents that have grown rusty with age and not one among a thousand of which Wil' ever be wanted. Yet when that one Is wanted 1t is badly wanted and being a matter of record it should be where it can be found, An incident was re- lated by well-known citizen yester- day wherein he was offered s2,500 sonic months ago if he could find certain paper. He searched diligently but Il was not to be found though It was q matter of record some years ago.
 The justices of the peace all preserve | their own records as carefully as they
 can but they are not provided with place to put the files of all their pred ecessors and no matter how carefully ! they may file the papers in their or | flee there is always danger of hre The county officers all have goo' |, vauts, but there comes time whei even a vault will get full.

MURDER AT YUMA
The Slaughter of Woman There
 Yesterday.

Another killing was done at Yuma yesterday of which the only facts known are that a man had murdered 3 woman, that 1t must have occurred late in the day and that the county jail was not deemed strong enough to save the murderer from the indignation of the citizerS.
 A telegram was received by Governor Murphy last night from Sheriff Gay Livingston of Yuma co1nty. asking the governor to warrap. the commitment of the prisoner tc the territorial prison for safe keeping. The requested in- struction was forwarded to Superin- tsndent Brown.
 An effort was made by The Republi- can to get details of the tragedy, but on account of the disordered condition of the wires late last night communiea- ton with Yuma could rot be estab- lished This is the second atrocfous murder there within less than two months. In the other case, too, the murderer had to be put in the peniten- tiasry to save him from the populace.

LIQUOR IN SOUTH AFRICA.
United States Formally Adheres to the
 Brussels Convention.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The United States government has formally ad- hered to the Brussels convention for the prevention and restriction of the sale of spirituous liquors in certain re- gions of Africa.
 For months past the president has been overwhelmed with petitions from religious and temperance organizations requesting him to act on. that conven- ton at an early day. The United States was not one of the original parties to the treaty of Brussels, and now comes in simply as an adherent. In that ca pacity no positive prohibitory duties devolve upon the government of the United States It simply consents 10 the imposition by the. powers controll- ing certain sections of Africa of heavy and in most cases prohibitive duties upon certain kinds of alcoholics.

still young. If some onti would erect Il good safety deposit structure 1t Is not improbable that the storage of county archives including all branches of the government from district court .o constable could be secured from the county at a profitable contract price. There Is hardly corporation or busi- ness institution in the city but what has an accumulation of old papers they do not wish to destroy yet which may go any night by fire.
 There is not a newspaper in the city but what wants to preserve its files, yet the files of any aper in the town would probably be the last thing thought of and the first thing to burn in case of fire.
 A good safe is the proper thing for the protection of books and papers of immediate value or that may be wanted soon, but there are carloads of things in Phoenix which owners would be willing to pay fair price to have safe- ly preserved for future emergencies.

ABOUT JOHNSON GRASS
Arizona Said to Be Too Dry to Nour'-
 ish the Pest.

Last summer from several points on the Verde river came reports that Johnson grass was obtaining a strong hold there, in the better irrigated sec tions, and fear was felt that 1t would damage the other crops. Since the late rains considerable quantities or Johnson grass have again sprung up Tn various places and created anxiety among ranchers. Speaking of the grass obtaining a foothold in Arizona, Prof, Forbes of the territorial uni versity. remarked that the usual dry ness of Arizona soil made 1t an inn probability.
 This grass is a native of the Med iterranean region. It was introduced into the southern states about 1SS0 and for some time was known by the name of Means grass, which name 1t still retains in some localities. About ten years later 1t was introduced into Ala bama from South Carolina by William Johnson. and has since been quite gen orally known as Johnson grass. It's botanical name is Andropogon Hala- pensis, or Sorghum Halapense. It Is sometimes called Guinea grass, but tnlS name pTOptIly DtlOlSS tb dihN uh maximum. a tropical forage grass sometimes cultivated in Southern Flor. ida.
 Johnson grass has received consider able attention in Kansas lately. Il has been grown in the plats of the Kansas experiment station for severa seasons, and its behavior tested. It |: a rank growing perennial, with mum erous strong, rather fieshy. creeping rootstocks, by which 1t propagates The stems and leaves are coarse but quite succulent It seeds abundantly
 Johnson grass Is chiefly used for hay for which purpose 1t is cut early be fore the stems become too old and hard Usually seed Is not sown until thu ground is warm or it will not germin ate well. Johnson grass prefers rich moist soil. though it will grow in quit' variety of soils. It is injured b, severe winters, but the cold winter O 1S9S-lS99 did not entirely kill out tn experiment plot, and 1t quickly recov cred from the effects of the cold. l is not a success as a pasture grass as it is injured by grazing to such al extent that a pasture soon become useless, yet the vitality of the root stocks is such that it is never entirel, killed out in this way and after
 rest soon recoyers from the effects.

A MATINEE OF MUSIC
Leonora Jackson Plays to an Appreci.
 ative Handful.

Whether due to the fact that the ministerial association had not put its seal of disapproval on the concert at the Doris theater Thursday after noon, or whether due to the unprom- ising and altogether unwholesome weather, scarcely three dozen people heard Leonora Jacksons programme
 There was only one alleviating fea- ture of the matinee. The meager aud fence. the chilly theater and the short ness of the programme were the un- pleasant features. but the merit in that same brief program more than compensated for the drawbacks. Short and sweet" may appropriately char acterize it, particularly the part taken by Miss Jackson. In order that she might catch her train she played but three numbers.
 There can be no doubt that Miss Jackson is an artist of great ability She wields the bow like a master. Her interpretations of Bruch's concerto was masterful, the heavy tones brought out with wonderful clearness and rich- ness. She charmed her audience with her rendition of Mascas;uis' ln- termeZzo and as her last and propapiy her best offering played Zepher CHu- bay) In this she displayed much ability in staccato work, bringing out the delicate tones with rare perfectness and beauty. Mis- Eiburna sang Ar ditis' waltz song in a credltahle man. mer As a coloraturo singer Miss Ei- burma excells. Her tones are sweet and pleasing. MT. Pratts work was confined to three numbers. His Wln- mung tSchumann-L -LiszD, his Nocturne (Chopin) and Humoresque CBergerl were handled in a manner display ing great capabi!ity.

Throughout the south, under proper conditions, it is considered an excellent hay grass. and in all parts of Kansas where there is sufficient moisture it will undoubtedly be valuable for the same purpose.
 However it is exceedingly difficult to eradicate the grass on land where 1t has obtained foothold, and for this reason 1t may become a pestiferous weed. Hogs are rather fond of the rootstocks. and when confined upon a plo. of the grass will destroy 1t. But on soil adapted to its growth 1t re- quires great care to eradicate it.
