 A PAIR OF QUEENs,-The notor- ious reformer. J. l.. B. Alexander, will
 now have to forego his favorite pastlme | of playing the slot machine or take chances on being arrested for vo-
 lation of the lately enacted city ordi-
 nance. A day or two ago he went into
 saloon and, as usual. found the slot
 machine hungry. He began feeding 1t
 on nickles, and soon had a pair of queens flashed up in front of him.
 Such a transaction after the first of
 May will lay him liable to the law pro
 hibiting queens as well as other fe-
 males in saloons.
 THE MAJOR COLE MEETINGS
 The largest audience yet seen at a street meeting assembled to listen to
 Major Cole last evening. Following
 the appeal on the street, which with Major Cole always comes direct from the heart and without thought of any, thing but the simple gospel and it's
 power to lead men to better life. was the usual meeting at the old postoffice,
 which was packed by an interested audience Major Cole invited the choir to vacate the platform and then filed it with business men and others who testified to their faith in the power
 of God. The meetings were by far ,he largest and best yet held
 THERB WILL BE MORE.-Exper- fence is the only way in which people can be taught to take a bicycle ordi- nance seriously, and the new police force is resolved to administer it in allopathic doses Two more reckless wheslmen fell into the hands of the Phillistines. Saturday night, and it is safe to say there will be others be- fore this issue of The Republican goes to press. It is considered by wheel men that the bicycle ordinances are a persecution rather than a protection Nu tiiE they dD not consider it a crime to violate them, if they are smooth enough to do so without getting caught Getting caught is the real crime they think, and there are so many people who think them selves smooth that the police will probably find a busy season ahead of them.
 A PRESCOTT KIDNAPER.-The JournalMiner says: "A very inter- esting case was before Judge Moore in which James Broyles of Ash Fork figured as the defendant The case was the outgrowth of the right of MT. Broyles to invade or break through a smallpox quarantine barrier estab lished at McCabe, in which his estim- abls wife was held u- . host in house, and he as a dutlful husband was just little bit anxious to have her liberated. or in other words. he wanted to do a little of the Cudahy Kidnapping by himself. Accordingly he made sneak, Thursday night on the house. secured his prize. and came to Prescott in a buggy. He was seen on the streets with his better half yester- day. and the fact of 1t being known that Mrs. Broyles had not officially been liberated from the house afflicted. an investigation followed with the result above. Mir and Mrs. Broyles s have just emerged from an attack of this disease, and 1t was while she was visiting McCabe that a brother was stricken down also. Judge Moore lis- tened attentively and Mr. Broyles pleaded guilty, placing a fine of SlOO on him. which he promptly paid, and after man and wife had been sprayed with an aitidote, Jim walked out and said Why this is easy"
 AN URBAN SNAKE.-Generally speaking snakes are associated with the country, or at least suburban life. and rathsr avoid publicity and metro- poHtan habits. There is no reason, however, why an intelligent and ob- serving twentieth century snake should not amble out a!nong people and learn what is going on about him. It Is not necessary for a snake to be recluse because his ancestors lived in hole, for the same might be said of the brainy men and women of this day and age. These remarks are suggested by the fact that early Friday evening as the guests of the Ford hotel were pulling their chairs in off the side walk reptile over two feet long was noticed quie tly sauntering up the walk toward the alley with graceful curve in his back and an aristocratic arch in his neck.

But the snake had been in town long enough to know at glance when his society was not appreciated,
