Bids for our city bonds have com menced to arrive and premium is being offered. Thirty thousand dollars worth of first mortgage twenty-year bonds of Tempe ought to bring the very highest market price for that class of securities. The bonds are to bear five per cent interest instead of six per cent, a saving of three hundred dollars per annum over the original Sturtevant contract, and every dollar in premium received may be counted as clear profit and credited to the "water agitation. |" The News believes that the city coun- cil is fully alive to its duty in the water works matter and will do it's very best for the town.-Tempe News.

4 Rear End Collision.

Tuesday morning a wreck occurred
 in the yards of the Santa Fe Pacific railroad company here. An east bound freight train was taking water when train following it ran into the rear end demolshing the cabOose and three box cars. The rear train was ;'cinder train" and sudden stoppage of the train caused car of cinders to te doubled Ip and thrown from between the other loaded cars down the embankment. The collision was caused by the air failing to hold the cinder train, the grade being heavy coming from the west. The engineer and fireman jumped from their engine before the collision occurred and escaped injury. There was no one in the caboOse. The wrecked box cars were loaded with copper matte from the United Verde mines. The wreck took place about half past six in the morning and was cleared away by ten o'clock. The passenger train from the west was de- layed here until that time.

Chunks of Silver.

A report from Wickenburg says that one of the biggest strikes ever made in Arizona was made to-day at the Sahu- aco mine, two miles northeast of town, owned by Messrs. Nickless, Miller and Bremen. The ledge, which is over twenty feet wide, was accidentally dis covered between the two shafts on the mine, and at three feet from the sur face shows large chungs of pure native silver. One lump, about ten inches square, contained so much silver that no man in the camp could lift it. Great excitement prevails and many are going out to locate grounds in the vicinity.

Dr. Violer's Resianation.

The resignation of Territorial Au- ditor c. w. Vickers, which has been in the hands of Governor Murphy for some time, was accepted yesterday, to take effect November l. Dr. Vickers found himself unable to attend to his private affairs as closely as they require and at the same time devote the time to ofii- cial business which it requires. His full attention will now be given to his personal affairs, and more especially to the Arizona Republican, of which he has been the president and general manager since the middle of August, when he acquired the interest of Col. $. M. McCowan.
 Dr. Vickers was appointed territorial auditor by Governor McCord soon after his accession to office in October, 1897, and has filled the position most accept. ably ever since.

After being treated by an eminent phy- siclau for quite while without relief my wife recommended Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and after using two bottles of it he is almost entirely cured.-Geo. R.

YOUNG MEN, MASTER YOUR WORK.

Can n afford to leave a farmer
who is paying him SIS a month and
board to go to the Agricultural Col
lege short course this winter? A
MlnnesOta boy asks it. An editor of
a turm paper answers No, you can't
afford to quit such a jobif that's the
height of your ambition but if you
want to be something more than a
farm hand, if you want to master the
business of farming (and it is the
masters who win nowadays), if you
wish to be equipped to do the best
work, then get the best practical
education you a I faced this ques-
ton when as a II years old boy I
quit ~typesetting in Denver at $35 a
week to go into the best job printing
office at Sc a week. 1t gave me a
chance to learn a branch of the trade
l didn't know, but this apparent
sacrifice, in Ordrer to master that
trade, helped to develop a faith in
myself that compensated many times
over for the temporary loss in pay.
Bet on yourself, young man, have
confidence in your own grit, faith
in your abilities, and by work, train
ing and education strive in every
proper way to fit yourself to do your
best. We either go forward or back
ward. There's no standing still.
Qualify yourself to go ahead. The
o thoroughly you do this, and
the earlier in life you do it, the bet
ter your chances for health, wealth,
happiness and usefulness, whatever
your vocation may be. Such thor
Ough preparation comes high-this
young man, for instance, instead of
netting SIS a month must go to con
siderable expense-but the best is al
ways the cheapest. If you haven't
confidence in yourself, how a you
expect others to have confidence in
you? Courage, Judgment, hard
work, progress, pertinaclty, clean
habits, character, high purpose
develop these, and before you know
it success is won. Everyone can cul-
tivate these MISUNDERSTANDING to do
so in youth causes far more failures
in life than bad luck, i'll health,
''trusts," or any of the excuses usu-
ally advanced by the unsuccessful.
Whatever you are be a master of
your work and of yourself.-The
American Boy.

Children's Column.
THE LOST CAP,

ne hunted through the library,
He looked behind the door.
he searched where baby keens his
toys
Upon the nursery floor;
ne asked the cook and Mary,
he called mamma to look,
de even started sister uD
To leave her Christmas book.
He couldn't find it anywhere,
And knew some hOrrid tramD
Had walked in through the omen
gate
And stolen it, the scampI
Perhaps the dog had taken it
And hidden it away;
Or else perhaps he'd chewed it up
And swallowed it in play.
And then mamma came down the
stairs,
Looked through the closet door,
And there it hung upon its peg,
As 1t had hung before.
And TOmmy's cheeks turned rosy
red,
AstOnIshed was his face.
He cOuldn' t find his cap-because
Twas in its proper place!

SEEING LIFE.

What the man of the world calls
osee,ng life is really the waste and
destruction of life,-death. Burning
1p tissue in the fever of unhealthy
excitement faster than it is replaced,
is seeing ones own body die,-and
|unler the pretense of seeing life.
The world makes a bonfire, while
human bodies and souls feed the
flame, Of pleasure, and then it calls
on the young to come and "see life. y
The man who would really "see life
must keep away from such spec
tac.e> and the farther away he lives
the worldly idea of seeing life,
the more of lite will there be for
him u >ee-Selected.

WHAT HIS FRIEND WANTED.

An old friend of Mr.. Carnegie's
who kept his fast trotters and held
the record, was beaten in a brush by
a young man. The old gentleman
disappeared for some time. He had
gone to Kentucky to get a horse that
would reestablish his supremacy. He
was being shown yer a stud, and
had already been past a long string
of horses with their records on the
stall and the victories they had won.
Then he was taken through a long
line of young horses with their
pedigrees from which the dealer was
proving what they we're going to do
when they got on the track. The
old gentleman, wiping his fore
head,-for it was Il hot day,-sud-
denly turned to the dealer and
said =
"Look here, stranger,-you've
shown me 'have beens,' and you We
let me see your going to-be s. but
what l nm here for is an User. III.
