NEW READING ROOM.
A Winslow correspondent says he is
informed that it is the intention of the
Santa Fe Pacific railroad company to
build a larger and more commodious
reading room at that place in the COM
ing spring. When the building is COM
pleted, says the correspondent, the
company will convert the building
which is at present occupied as a-read-
ing room, into hospital. The estab-
lishment of railroad hospital at
Winslow will save transportation of
patients from points west of that place
to Albuquerque and will be a conve-
nience to those who may be taken sick
or meet with an accident on the third
division of the road.

THE PROTRACTED MEETINGS AT
BAPTIST CHURCH.

The meeting at the First Baptist
church is fast taking on the spirit of a
true revival. 1t looked yesterday morn
ing as if the rain and mud would cut
off the audience altogether. But be-
fore the evangelist took his text. the
house was well nigh filled up. The
morning theme was the Two fold gift
of power For forty-five minutes the
speaker held the closest attention OF
his audience showing by the scriptures
and apt illustrations. that it is one
thing to receive the spirit for sonship
or entrance into the family of God, and
another to be filled with the spirit
for service. All receive the spirit in
regeneration. whereby they are sealed
as Gods own. but many go on in re-
ligious life practically destitute of pow
er to live and serve as God intends. He
cited instances in the fourth chapter
of Luke, showing that Jesus was Full
of the Spirit" Led by the Spirit. I'm
the power of the Spirit" and "Annoint-
ed by the Spirit He then appealed to
the audience in the language of Paul
to the church in Ephesus. BE not
drunken with wine but be filled
with the Spirit" Just as a man intox-
icated with wine yields himself to its
promptings, so we should be so filled
with the Spirit as to be wholly led by
and dominated by. In the power of
the Spirit every day of our life Mrs.
Kelly sang Saved by Grace" during
which nearly the whole of the audience
came to the front or kneeled at the
pews. and there was powerful suppl
cation led by leader of the Salvation
Army, Deacon Eli Nations and others.
for the power of the Holy Spirit, to
come upon the ministers and the
meetings especially.
There was full house in the even
ing. At the close of the sermon on
the subject of THE Prodigal Sons
Father in which the speaker sought to
show the love of God to sinful men,
more than a dozen rose for prayer; a
half dozen kneeled at the inquiry pew.
four of whom made professions OF
faith.
The choir did some splendid sing
ing. under the direction of Mr.. Brew
er. Mr.. Brewer sang the beautiful solo
entitled "The Homeland" Pastor Mil
lican saws. Seldom in the experience
of the evangelist or the pastor has a
meeting started out with deeper inter-
est or better results. The facts are
that for several months there has been
a mighty calling on God on the part OF
many in the church, and the interest
manifest in the evening services.
Young peoples meetings and after SER
vices since the middle of November,
showed clearly that the church was on
the eve of a healthy and possibly a
powerful revival. The services OF this
last week seem to confirm this feeling
and great results are looked for.

SAW A BRIGHT METEOR.

A correspondent from near Aztec to
the Index of that place writes the fol-
lowing interesting description of a
meteor which he claims to have seen:
Last Saturday about o'clock,
while it was yet light enough to see
all objects quite plainly, there appear
ed a very brilliant meteor, moving
slowly across the southe IN heavens.
1t was first seen by a party, of which
the writer was one, in a direction near
ly west by southwest, and appeared to
be moving slightly north of due east.
1t was about thirty-five degrees above
the horizon when nearest the zenith,
and not until it burst did the attrac-
ton of the earth seem to AFFECT 1t In
the least although the bursting was
probably due to it's entering denser
strata of air To the naked eye 1t
seemed to be travelling parallel to the
earths surface It's apparently slow
motion can only be explained by its
great distance from us. as it very like

indicate it's height to have been be-
tween fifty and one hundred miles,
height at which the atmosphere is very
rare and, of course, would not burn'
out as quickly as nearer the earth

HIS HEAD CUT OFF.
At Winslow two men, or rather a
man and a boy. as the younger was
only about 10 years old, who had peat

having arrived about 10 o'clock at
night started across the tracks Tor the
business portion of the town. me

his coat up over his ears Tor protec-
tion from the sand. The engine that
nulled the train on which they came
was backing up to the round mousse ana
when it was in about four feet OF the
man and boy the boy stepped into the
middle of the track. He was knocked
down and fell with his neck across the
track. The engine passed over MIN

CHA MONSTERS FOR zoo.

some ella monsters for the zoo. He

cinity of Phoenix and in northern So
nora Mexico. 81 want to show the

a ella monster is a real thing-not a
myth as many of them believe and
then will subject the reptile to scien-
tific examination to ascertain the char
acter and virulency of the poison it
is said to secrete. If the reported dead
illness of a ella monsters teeth and
breath is a dream, or has been exag-
gerated we want to know it. 1 have
no doubt myself that the monster is
poisonous. 1t enjoys the distinction
of being the only poisonous lizard in
North America. If that is true natural
science which has thus far only delved
into the surface of the southwests des-
ert mysteries. would like to be fully
satisfied of it. l know. though. that
there has been more or less doubt re-

ELUDED THE OFFICERS.
William l.. Curtis. who is believed to
be the man who held up and robbed
the stage that runs to Briggs and a
short time after robbed a store at Co
lumbia in Yavapai county, was located
in Phoenix one day last week and an
attempt to capture him was made but
he eluded the officers and is again at
large The officers have been con-
WINGED of the identity of the robber for
some time and have been keeping a
sharp lookout for him. He was located
in Phoenix by his having secured a
license to marry and an officer from
Prescott who was looking over the rec
ords at Phoenix saw his name and no
titled other officers of Prescott. Three
officers went to the house of the wO-
man he was to marry and surrounded
it. They knocked on the door and the
man they wanted opened the door, but
they did not recognize him and asked
for the woman. She came out and the
man walked away and made good his
escape before they knew he was Cur

PUT HIM TO SLEEP
There is a woman named Woodward
lecturing in Tucson and according to
the Star she is affording fun galore for
those who go to hear her. She placed
a young man in a hypnotic sleep and
carried him to store where she placed
him in a show window. He was left
there and he slept soundly all that
night and the next day when he was
taken back to the lecture hall and
awakened, after twentyfour hours
solid sleep.

SIX CABLES CUT.

About two O'Clock last Friday morn
ing there was a concentrated attack
upon the property of the Southwestern
Telephone company at San Antonio by
the enemies of the company. 1t is sup
posed that there were at least half a
dozen of the miscreants and by agree
meut they simultaneously cut six ca
bles of the telephone system. Blood
hounds were sent for and determined
effort was made to capture the partici-
majors in the dastardly deed but the
tracks were too old to follow when the
dogs We're secured. The cables were
apparently sawed in twain with hack
and keyhole saws. The telephone
company has been having a great deal
of trouble with vandals, supposedly
union men, ever since the strike or
employees in which the union came out

this work was done by some of the
employees who lost their jobs on ac-
count of the strike.

ing Wife and S1ep-Chifdren.

HENDERSON, MINI. March %
Franz Theodore Wallert, who murdered
his wife and four step children at Airing
ton on August 40 last. was hanged this
morning.
Sheriff GafflSe read the death warrant
to Wallert at 1855, and the march to the
galIows followed. Father Kertz preceded
Wailert, who walked unaided and as
eended the steps leading to the platform
with firm tread. While the priest was
offering prayer, Sheriff Gaffke adjusted
the moose and pulled down the black cap.
Before the prayer las finished he had
sprung the trap.
Wallert died without a struggle. He had
no opportunity TO make a statement on
the scaffod and did not intend to make
any. having confessed his guilt in open
court last December. The execution was
devoid Of sensational features. The last
words uttered by the condemned man
ard addressed to his brother. were:
Goodbye, my dear brother, goodbye,
don't cry for me. 1t will soon be over.
The gallows on which Wallert died was
erected within an enclosure In the court
yard forty feet from the Jail. The death
