FOR THE WINTER--Mrs. C. E. L. Wood and maid, and her son, Mr. Erskine Wood of Portland. Ore. and Dr. P. Bryson Wood of Baltimore ar rived here yesterday morning and are guests of the Hotel Adams. They will probably remain in Phoenix during the winter, their visit is accustomed by a necessary change of climate for Mir. Ersl<ine Wood, Phoenix being recom- mended the best place for him. MT
 Wood is healthy looking young man, but is not quite so robust formerly when he was enrolled in the Harvard football team. A winter in Phoenix will put him in form again. Dr. Wood, who accompanies him. is an uncle.
 THE CITY LIBRARY.-If any citi- zen doubts for a minute that the city library is an institution greatly ap- preciated and doing a good work as well as affording a great deal of pleas ure to the men, women and children of this town, he should sit on a plaza bench some afternoon, any afternoon will do. about o'clock and see the procession of old and young that files into the library rooms to exchange books. There are 6ozens of them every day, and the frequency with which some of the patrons return indicates that they are cultivating voracious ap- petites for reading. The pleasing feat ure about il is that so many of the patrons are boys and girls who, if not engaged in reading good books would have lots more time for mischief mak- ing.
 TERRELL BE NO REMOVAL The way in which erroneous impress sions get abroad is remarkable. It was announced yesterday morning in The Republican that the Wakelin Grocery company would move from its present location in the Fleming block into the room shortly to be vacated by the B. Heyman Furniture company. MT. Wakelin and Manager La Chance said that there would be no removal. They said it had been reported for a week that the store would be moved anu that everybody. seemed to have taken it for granted that it was so. A dozen men had come into the store and asked what arrangement would be made of t.-e fixtures, which were especially or dered to fit the stores present quarters. The unfitness of the furniture to the proposed location was regarded by the populace as very serious matter.
 , DEATH OF w. H. BONHAM.-w. H. Bonham, agent of the Mutual Life Insurance company, died last night in his rooms in the Nicholson building of pneumonia after an illness of a little of a little more than a week. On the morning Of Thanksgiving he returned from Prescott. where he had contract ed a severe cold. That night he took to his bed and the next day his condi- tion was so serious that a doctor was sent for. He showed signs of gradual improvement until Friday night, when there began to be a failure of heart action, and he gradually grew worse until noon yesterday, when it became evident that he could not live long. An attorney was sent for to prepare his pa pers. He died late in the evening. No ar engagements have been made about his funeral. but the Elks, of which he was member, will no doubt take charge of the remains. Mir. Bonham was about 45 years of age and had resided in Phoenix two years. He first came here as a representative of the Columbia Building and Loan association of Dem yer and after that settled in Tucson.
 A PHOENIX YOUTH.-The friends of Frank Emerson, a graduate of the Phoenix high school wlIi be pleased to learn of the rapid progress he is making at the Union Iron Works in San Francisco. where he secured em- ployment but q short time ago He has a natural aptitude for mechanics, and spent a year in the Copeland ana McCallum machine shop of this city. About a month ago he went to San Francisco and applied to the Union Iron Works for employment, saying that he wanted to enter an an appren- tice and learn the trade. Hardly d day had passed before the superinten- dent under whom he worked discovered that he was already some distance up the ladder, and before the week was out he was classed with the s1.5o per day men. Last week he was placed in charge of all the necessary parts and told to set up an engine, which work he accomplished without trouble. He is therefore in line for rapid promo tion, and is employed by company which seems anxious to reward merit.
 BASEBALL.-Little has been heard about baseball fin Phoenix for a few weeks, but the organization of the Phoenix club is by no means dead. It in only mapping a bit and enjoying a good rest for active operations a little later. It is expected that Oscar Jones and Byron Hartwell will be here short ly to spend the rest of the winter. They have now closed their regular en- and are playing for the entertainment of the two league teams now on the l coast, one team being made up of | players from the National association | and the other from the American | II . | e T. e Il f II e IL
