The carnival committee had a rousing meeting last night, and al ready they are at work in outlining good programme, while several mem- bers are also engaged in moulding humorous designs for the Horrible parade. They are certainly energetic people, and are devoting their time without a cent of expense to the peo- ple. The ladies booth on the plaza is commendable move, and they de- sire all ladies and children to know that it will be provided with nice re- treatments that will not cost any body cent. But no men will be permitted to enter. Any who at tempt to suggest a deviation from this plan, had better put on the gloves.
 The court house plaza is certainly commencing to show what the water cure is capable of doing, and already the scene to greet the eye is so pleas ing that the efforts of Prof. Kusche are being considered in the right light. As inch by inch he cultivates that heretofore bleak and neglected domain, and carries out his ideas in beautifying the ground, people are beginning to ull the more appreciate the work. Yesterday he cut the blue grass from one plot, while in others all character of flowers and trees are beginning to bloom and grow. In a years time we will have the prettiest plaza in the universe, and the scheme now outlined and which is being so prettily carried out by Prof. Kusch, should be encouraged and observed by any incoming body of public ser wants. We are in favor of having the beautifying of the plaza incorporated in party platfoams.
 Harry Brown, of the Bradshaws, has been a visitor to Prescott for several days. He speaks emphatic ally and hopefully over the railroad reaching this section, and while he says there are hundreds of people pounding away" developing claims, there is nothing shipped out in the way of ore, because there are no ia cilities cheap enough to handle such, considering the values. He tersley puts it, that the Crowned King, although less than 70 miles from Prescott, might as we'll be 1000 miles from no place under present conditions of travel. If any one IS alarmed over tax exemption privil- eges and does not believe the many mine owners in the old Bradshaws are in favor of the railroad coming along under this or any other law that authorizes their building, just let him go there and "shoot of his mouth" to the contrary. NIT. Brown says the railroad is now being watched with great deal of interest as it is building, and people see the silver lining in the cloud that has been for so long dark and gloomy.
 There are two dangerous proposi- tions in this life that it will not do for a man to monkey with. One is a widow and the other is religion. Many a man has got his foot into it with the first named, and to his pity and chagrin a well known mining man of this city is wrestling with the problem of the latter He dimes at private boarding house, and in an swering a question of companion as to what he thought of Christian Science and Mrs. Eddy, said the whole outfit should be sent to jail. Unfortunately for him there were present at the adjoining tables none but believers and supporters of this new idea of religious belief. Imme- diately there was an eruption and Mt. Pelee was coughing up all sorts of intellectual brimstones and a stifling odor permeated the sphere be was wedged into. He realized his error and attempted to quench the religious craters, but it was useless, when he retreated, leaving behind a half finished meal and carrying away an impression that plainly indicated he went up against it good and strong. He is now taking the ahsent that is, he is absent from meals under certain conditions-the main one being the presence there of Christian scientists.
