 Instructions were telegraphed to Prescott for workmen, material and tools to repair the disabled engine, and they were forwarded by special train, but the accident will cause a delay of two or three hours in the party get ting away firm Phenix this evening;
 After leaving Congress Junction the presidents attention was called to Rich Hill, and when he was told that from the summit of this peak nearly S5O0,O00 in gold was picked up by the pioneers, he evinced decided in terest, but seemed somewhat more perplexed over the idea of the metal being found on the peak of the high est mountain of that section in one instance, while at the Congress mine on the other hand, that he just left, the opposite rule prevailed, and they were going down after 1t. His in formant then stated that the great amount of gold produced on Rich Hill was of a placer character, and while geologists were perplexed as to the origin of the method by which it was placed there, the argument held good, nevertheless, that ''gold IS where you find it." The president seemed surprised at the methods em- ployed above and below ground, and jokingly said that it seemed to him as if Yavapai county had been silent ly nursing the gold standard for many years, and was quietly clinging to it, too, before it became political issue. His attention was also called to the new Gro Grande bonanza, and some of the "dust" from this mine was shown him, while the Vulture and other localities were also alluded to. The president seemed decidedly in the mining melange and stated that Arizona had very bright future before it, with such founda tiOn to rest upon.

lar clerk, who was beautifully attired
 in pink silk trimmed with white lace,
 and was very gracious and charming.
 Also Mir. Dryer, who will have charge
 of the gents furnishing and shoe de
 partments; Miss Spradling, the head
 milliner; Miss Beatrice Cornell, and
 others.
 Mir. Robinson's popular orchestra
 furnished sweet music during the en- tire evening, which was greatly en-
 joyed by all, while ice cream and other refreshments were served by
 Misses Helen Adams, Henrietta Hart man, Helen Burmister, Gertie Smith and Agnes Bethune in the upper gal lery and gallons of these delightful refreshments were consumed by the hunderds of visitors.
 The history of the building up of business to warrant such a store is worthy of mention. Not quite seven years ago Mir. Blumberg started into business as a young man with only few dollars worth of goods in a very small room on the east side of the plaza, but by close attention to busi- ness and courteous treatment of his few patrons his business began to grow and his patrons increase in num- Der until he was compelled to become an expansionist and enlarge his quar- ters. Step by step this continued till he finally occupied the large store room in the K. P. building with an immense stock of goods. But not con tent with this he has continued to reach out for new business and new fields to conquer until today he stands as merchant prince of the south west, the proprietor of the New York Store in Prescott, which certainly has no superior in the territory, and the Berlin, one of the leading stores of Phenix. This success has been hon. estlY won by him as the result of hard, close study and work to please his patrons and give them the best goods 1t all times for the least money pos sible, which methods he proposes to ,arry out in his new conditions with energy, and which certainly point to a bright future for him as merchant.

Wickenburg Enthusiastic

Wickenburg, Ariz., May This booming little mining town was awake bright and early this morning to take a look at the presidential train as it speeded north on its way to Congress, and if possible to catch glimpse of President Mckinley. Wm- Solomon, the railroad company's enterprising agent had the depot building very beautifully decorated for the occasion but aside from this no special efforts at decoration were made as the party was not scheduled tostop in the town, although if they had, no more enthu- siastic demonstration would have been given the party any place, in proportion to its size, than in this en- terprising little city. The party was cheered by the entire populace as the train passed through the place.

A Beautiful Gift.

It was very happy thought of B. Heyman which will place an Arizona product where it will be admired by the president and his party. Mir. Heyman, in addition to being one of the most progressive and influential business men of Phenix. is the owner of an onyx quarry. He secured some fine specimens ofonyx from his quarry and had them polished at the plant at the Indian school especially for pre- sentation to the president when he visits the school. On the smaller spec imen the picture of President McKin- lev has been photographed and on the larger one, which will make hand some mantel decoration, there appears photographs of both President and Mrs. Mckinley and a remarkably good picture of the White House.

The Boy and the Dog.

There is no truer friendship than
that of the boy and the dog. There
are no happier days to which the
grown man may look back with a
tender regret for their passing than
the days spent in the old home fields
with the faithful four-footed COM
panion of youth. Confidence between
boy and dog was perfect. The dog
perhaps was not thoroughbred, and
had come into the world minus a
pedigree, but the boy accepted him
for what he was, and in the blessed
righteousness of youth may even have
found an occasion of added pride in
the dog in some characteristic which
he Aow knows was highly to the ami
mails discredit as determined by the
bench show standards. And as for
the dog, on his part, too, he took the
boy for what he was, asking of him
no more than that he should conde-
scend to make of himself a demigod
for unstinted confidence, affection
and worship. If the scientists would
devise way to represent the care
free happiness of boyhood days in
some equivalent of foot-pounds, the
amount of it justly accredited to the
companionship of boy and dog would
be expressed in many tons.-Forest

"Shut zap, or TIL shoot Vou IKE a dog"
the firing Of the guns and cannon, had
taken 1t for granted that the soldiers
of both armies were coming.
The GOODNESS and the firmness of the
stranger treasured the people directly.
and, casting aside a portion Of their
fear, they gathered about him and look
ed up to him as a superior being. The
men admired him for his GOODNESS, and
the women admired him for that and
also for his handsome features and his
magnificent and manly form.
One woman, young and beautiful and
strangely unlike the people about her,
looked first on the stranger, then on
the horseman. The first she regarded
with unmistakable admiration, but I'M
consciously that look changed to one
OF shame as she turned her eyes on the
other.
Hes no such man as that man
there" she said TO herself. "Oh, my
Lord, IL he only was, IL he only was.'
The people, crowding about him,
would have made n hero of the stran-
ger, and he allowed them to fawn on
him and make over him. though he felt
that he had done nothing TO merit It.
1t was all very pleasant and he en-
joyed 1t. especially when he surprised
a look Of admiration in the eyes OF the
young woman who had contrasted him
with the horseman. and they had both
blushed and east their eyes down. In
that meeting OF eyes there was recog-
nition-aye, more than recognition.
Yes, 1t was all very pleasant to
the stranger until suddenly his past
life flashed before him; then his face
paled, and his heart grew sick, and a
wistful, furtive expression came to his
eyes. There was something there that
nothing could blot out - nothing but
death.

A Strange Punishment-

In Guiana, if child is slow in its
movements the parents apply an ant
to the child instead of whip, to make
it move faster. This little ant bites
more cruelty than mosquito, and its
bite is apt to be troublesome after
ward. AS you can imagine, the treat
ment does not make the child kind to
others, and the children of Guiana are
said to be particularly cruel to ami
mails. The little boys of Guiana do not
reckon their age by years, but by their
ability to endure pain. Until he gets
to the point where he can let the Hucu
ant bite him without wincing, he is
considered merely a baby.-Detroit
Free Press.

got to keep powerful grip on myself
to keep out of it now"
At that moment Jacob Hicks gave a
start and stood listening intently. From
the hard road leading south from the
village there came the sound OF a horse
in full gallop. The rest all heard it
and stood waiting In breathless silence.
An inquiring glance passed from one
to another through the group, but not
a word was spoken.
Ten minutes passed, and then a lone
horseman, wrapped in a cloud of dust,
appeared on little rise q quarter of a
mile away. The women screamed, the
children set up n cry and the men
grew whittier than ever. Ebenezer
Sparks-well, it was not until the ex-
element was over that any one knew
what he did with himself.
The horseman was bareheaded, and
as he came madly charging into the vii
lage his hair was flying wildly In the
wind, and his face looked almost ghost
ly in its pallor
ely for your livesw he shouted when
he was near enough to make himself
heard. ely quick, for they're a-com-
In, an you'll all be killed. Fly! Fly"
No one moved or spoke. They were
all so terror stricken that they had lost
the power to move either limb or
tongue.
They're a-comin; they're a-comIn; a
million of 'emr' the horseman shouted
hoarsely. can they're a-killin an
a-slayin an a-slaughterin an Albumin
as they gol Fly, fly, for your livesr'
Then as the full meaning OF the horse
mans words began to dawn on them a
new and uncomfortable fear seized on
the people. Some OF them turned to
run away as fast as their trembling
limbs would carry them, some sat down
and, hiding their faces, burst into lam
citations, while two or three women
tainted. The whole population OF the
village was on the verge Of a wild PAN
ic, and in another moment there would
have been general stampede to the
country.
"Holdw suddenly cried a voice among
them. 1t was firm, confident voice
and n voice to be needed and obeyed.
Hold! There is no danger, and no.
body is going to be hurt"
The people looked around, and there
In their midst they saw tall, mild
looking young man with a pair of keen
black eyes and a firm cast of counte-
nance that were calculated TO COM
mand respect and even obedience. He
was stranger there, and from whence

They Met Their Nto,oL

At an evening party the other night
one of the guests made q novel bet.
He placed three jugs in row. Tying
piece of stout string to the handle
of the first one, he threaded it through
the handle of the second jug, and tied
it again to the handle of the third Jug.
Then he offered to bet the other
guests that he would free the middle
jug without untying or cutting the
string. Many took up the challenge
and wagered he could not do it. When
all was agreed the man who had made
the bet calmly lit match and burnt
the string through and took the bet

he is the sole survivor of a vast num-
Der of creatures whose natural weap-
