Dec. ] they would have cost S10l.3I,
while the same quantities of the same ar
ticles would have aggregated only SI2.4o
on July l, 1897, the lowest point on rec
ord, and $121.75 on Jan. l, 1860. These
price records are compiled by multiplying
the quotations of all the necessaries OF
life by the per capita consumption.
Prices are now at the highest point IN
many years, and, in fact, surpass all rec

of manufacture and distribution have
been in use and agricultural operations
were first begun on the present extern

There was received at the sheriff's office yesterday from q court oi Jasper county. Iowa. a summons notifying All fred T. Dowden of this city that he had been made a defendant in a suit begun against him by Mrs. Harriet Patrie of Jasper county. The action was brought in the matter of a quarter section of land in which the plaintiff had a one third interest as a widov and was suing for the ether two-thirds as the heir of her daughter .wi-o had recently died.
 The writ was accompanied by 2 note from the plaintiffs lawyer in which it was said that the defendant had re- gently come to Phoenix for his health. The rummons was received at 9 o'clock and a search was immediately begun for Dowden. He was found, but the writ was not served. and it never will be. He had died at the Sisters hospital at 8 and was already in his coffin.
 This disposition of the case will per haps serve the purpose of the plaintiff and will certainly result in the saving of costs and attorneys fees. The papess were returned last night to Iowa with the information that Dowden had been removed beyond the jurisdiction of ar earthly courts.
