mer, That's the town, you know,
where Riley was born and raised.
Now, you'd suppose on general
principles that the townspeople
would be prouder of that than any
other fact in connection with
Greenfield, but the truth is that
the younger set scarcely know that
Riley ever lived there, and the
older people are rather envious Of
his reputation, and bear him no
good will. One old lady with
whom talked the first day or two

the whole town.
''Did you ever know james

yes, of course, I've known Jim
Riley ever since him and my boys

Why, ] believe, Jim Riley made
the whole thing out of whole

years ago, and was axed to point
out the original swimmin' holes
Well, he showed them likely

up and proved that that place
never existed at all when Riley
was a boy. The creeks channel
had been changed since then, an
the hole he pointed out was in tho

how much truth there is in Jim

A well-known Texan, Mr.. John

telling tales in Washington about
the ambitious legislators in his
State. He said; "The legislature
is seeking to redistrict the State
for members of Congress. The
ambitious young men in the legis-
lature, who think they are quail
fed to come to Congress are seek
ing to fix up the apportionment SO
that as many as possible of the

ALL KINDS OF BUSINESS
City Recorder Faced a Motley As-
 semblage Yesterday.

A variegated assortment of some five pr six offenders against the city's bi- cycle ordinances was before the city re- corder yesterday and the usual fines were imposed. There were no startling incidents in connection with any of them.
 One man was fined four dollars for committing slight misdemeanor. and Capt. Joe Bush had one sleeping drunk on hand that called for a similar fine.
 An Bow, a native of the orient. was before his honor at the !nstigation of Officer Russell. having left his horse united. He sells vegetables for liv- ing and is reputed to have more money than hay, though he has the general appearance of an Indian famine suf- ferer The officers usually have to arrest him every three months to col- feet his license. and therefore the court was not specially prejudictd in his be- half. MT. Russell said it was an az gravated case of unhitched horse. He

had told the man to hitch the animal
 but he refused to do so Attorney J. M
 Langstone appeared for him and made a little talk to the court. but it was useless. After the sentence was pro- nounced Mir. Bow tried to effect an ar rangement whereby he could pay his three-dollar fine in installments of one dollar per week The court would not enter into the arrangement and turned him over to the marshal. An Bow still wanted to talk and resisted the mar shal who tried to take him down stairs. At this juncture the whole police force rose up as one man and carried him bodily from the room, an undertaking of no little magnitude, in view of the fact that Ah Bow is about the biggest Chinaman that ever broke into Arizona.
 The next case waa a double header in which Maria Brechtel and Bertha Doe figured as defendants. The charge against them was drunkenness and they were arrested some time Friday night by Captain Bush.

Accused of yelling and making a disturbance in the rear of a saloon Maria said she was only playing on the plano and singing for her own amuse. ment Bertha said she had been drink ing for two weeks, but she was not drunk and was only drinking to drown her grief for friend that died recently. But the end of it all was that they were fined ten dollars each, and In default of payment went below,
 There was one more case, that of AL gernon Dove, Esq. He was placed on the chain gang few Gays ago and on Thursday. while the gang was at work near Taylor and Seventh avenue, Street Commissioner McFall gave him ham, mer, some tacks and a few cards the marshal wanted posted regarding the hitchfng ordinance, and sent him down the road block or two to nail them up.

He was hunting for the city hall when the officer arrested him for running away from the chain gang.
 Attorney Langston volunteered to de- fend Babe an'd proceeded to make a most touching appeal to the court. He argued that inacnuch as the officer had sent Babe away with no time Emit for his return, it was no viola tion for him to stay away till he got the cards all lacked up, even if it took him the rest Of his natural life to complete the job. He held that Babe should not be pun shed for the officers neglect Then he appealed to the court for mercy, saying that he was one of the poor fellows Major Cole was trying to save and the court :'lould at least strain point when the officer had neglected to tell him when to return to jail. But the re- corder was obdurate and announced that the sentence would be $15, where upon MT. Dangston gently broke the news to Babe that he was better off in jail anyway.

THE GIRLS HAVE GONE
And the Harps in Tara's Halls Are
 All Unstrung.

Before the readers of The Republican have a chance to see these lines the | festive female saloon singer will have lost her job and the good men and bad
 boys of this city will no longer be led
 astray by her siren voice, unless they chase up the pike after her. Owing to recent strenuous legislation of the city council the proprietors of the various resorts decided not to longer maintain this attraction for the sale of their goods, and as the clock struck the hour of 12 all bets were declared off, the cage doors were opened and the warblers flew off their perches and into the nearest hack. Some of them stop ped on b-fat. some of them had been flat for an hour or more and others, per haps, will be flat before they get out of town, but they will not be flat very long. for telegrams wers. pouring in all day yesterday offering them good jobs at the next cross roads.
 The messages came from Prescott, Flagstaff. Williams, Gfobe- Jerome, Yuma and other places where hereto fore, melody has been obtainaDle only Tn churches, at concerts or Tn private par lors, and then only in limited quant- ties. The market for this particular sort of melody seems to be eccentric and ntful. The wping out of all de- mand in Phoenix has stimulated the demand elsewhere, and barring the ex- pense of transportation, the warbler is financially in better prospect than she was before.
 But all this has nothing to do with Ia st night. When the curtain was rung down at 12 o'clock and the girls climbed into the hacks, the instructions to the drivers were to drive, and he "drlv." When he got tired of driving he pulled up in front of the big road house, on the Tempe road and un!oaded his cargo. Shortly after, the welkin began to ring, and the belated citizen who put his ear to the ground any where within some miles could catch the echo. The musical notes were in- tsrspersed with anathemas on the heads of the city fathers, and defiance was hurled at the city ordinance ad libitum. The pure. free air of the country seemed to develop a volume that was heretofore unsuspected, and it is feared the lowing kline in that vi- cinity passed bad night.

If the kidneys are healthy they will excrete the poison from the blood. The renal veins return the purified blood from the kidneys to the general cir culation.
 Peruna stimulates the kidneys to ex- creto from the blood the accommodating poison, and thus prevents the convul. sions which are sure to follow if tho poisons are allowed to remain. Itgives great vigor to the hearts action and digestive system, both of which are apt to fail rapidly in this disease.

d21e Of need for ten times its cost"
 Mrs. Mary Lawler, of Appleton, Wis, was cured of kidney trouble by Peruna. In recent letter to Dr. Hartman, she says: "Last August caught a summer cold which settled in the kidneys and caused meserious inconvenience. Noth- ing did seemed to help me and the doctor advised change of climate. As that was out of the question for me, I tried Peruna as a last resort, and found it was God-send to me-"
 The kidneys arc the natural gateway out of which much of the waste tissue finds its escape. This waste matter be- comes a very poisonous substance if all lowed to accumulate. The renal artery brings the blood charged with impuri- ties to tho kidneys.

TREASON AND PLOT"

A remarkable volume of history deal ing with the struggles for Catholic su- premacy in the last years of Queen Elizabeth is about to be published by the Appletons under the title Treason and Plot" The book is based to a con siderable extent upon material now used for the first time, especially the Spanish manuscripts transcribed at Si- mancas, and also manuscripts in the possession of Lord Calthorpe. and un- published archives in the ArchivesNa- tionales, Paris. It has been usually assumed that with the defeat of the ar mada the attempts to secure Catholic supremacy in England and an alliance with Spain came to an end, but Dr. Hume is able to show the continuance of this effort from 1893 to 1903. He has furnished a remarkable and most in- terestlng chapter of new and important history.

SPRING IN THE NORTHWEST.

SPRING IN THE NORTHWEST.
 I see a broken upland in the far northwest. Its gray and purple rocks are interpatched with colors rich and warm, the newborn eolors of the up- land spring. the greatest springtime in the world; for where there is no winter there can be mo spring The gloom is measure of the light. So. in this land of long, long winter night, where na- ture stints her joys for six hard months, then owns her debt and pays it all at once. the spring is glorious compensation for the past. Six months arrears of joy are paid in one great, lavish outpour. And latest May is made the date of payment. Then spring, great, gorgeous skiold spring holds carnival on every ridge.
 Even the sullen Gunder peak, that p!erces the north end of the ridge. un- sombres just whit. The upland beams with all the flowers 1t might nave grown in six months; yet We see only one. Here. by our feet and far ther on, and right and left and onward far away, in great, broad-acre beds, the purple lupin b.ooms-irregular, broken, struggling patches near, but broader, denser, farther on: till on the distant slopes they lie, long, devious belts, like purple clouds at rest.
 But late May though 1t be, the wind is cold; the pools tell yet of frost at night. The White Wind blows. Broad clouds come up and down comes driv- ing snow, over the peaks. over the up- land and over the upland flowers Hoary, gray and white the landscape grows in turn; and one by one the flowers are painted out. But the lup.ns on their taller, stiffer stems, can fight the snow for long; they bow their whitened heads beneath its load then, thanks no little to the wind itself. shake free and stand up defantly straight and as fits their royal purple. And when the snowfall ends as suddenly as 1t began. the clouds roll by and the blue sky sees an upland shining white, but streaked and patched with bots and belts of lovely purple bloom.
