THE CITY NEWS
PARAGRAPHS.

At o'clock this afternoon train No.
8 was reported two hours late. No.
10 is ON time.
The local court of Foresters held
one of the biggest and most enjoyable
smokers of the season last evening.
Besides the lodge members, there were
a large number of their friends in at
tendance, and every one was enter
tanned beyond his expectation. The
program was an impromptu affair, but
it was none the less entertaining. for
all that. Judge Purcell and Felix
Levy acted as presiding officers. Ivo
Began gave a few of his selections in
song and verse. Consul Navarro and
Fred Ronstadt contributed a couple of
instrumental selections. Messrs. Loeb,
Rasmussen and Jacome sang some of
the old-time songs in quartet style. A
parlor orchestra was another attractive
feature. However, the hit of the
evening was opened up in the ante
room, and the crowd lost no time in
talking advantage of the viands.
The A O. U. w. will hold a regular
session this evening.
L. Fl. Hodge has succeeded Thomas
Driscoll as postof1ce inspector for the
Arizona district He has opened his
headquarters in Phoenix, and is paying
the old pueblo visit today. AS soon
as Mr.. Hodge hts had time to look
over the field he will extend the rural
free delivery, which has ben inaugural
ed in the Territory. Tucson and some
of the outlying camps would be greatly
benefited by the establishment of these
routes.
The Infants are evidently getting a
little nervous. The executive COM
mittee which they appointed is not cor
railing votes fast enough. 1t has be-
come more apparent every day that
something new would have to be start
ed. They have adopted new mode
of attack, and the initial charge of the
new campaign will be made this even
ing. They call it a smoker" but it
understood that the things which
smoke will be ON the minor side of the
program. They are going to open, up
sOmething-yes, two things. First,
there will be lot of hot air on the
campaign, and then a little of the bev-
erage that made Milwaukee famous.
If this scheme does not have the de-
sired effect, the Infants will have to
quit.
An unusually large shipment of cat
tie will take place here tomorrow or
next day. Frank Wing has sold a
bunch of 1900 head belonging to the
Bayless ranch to John T. Cameron,
the Neuman, California. cattle buyer.
Five hundred head will be gathered
and shipped from Cochise The bal
ance will be loaded at the yards here.
The cattle are consigned to California.
This is one of the largest shipments
made this season.
The residents along. South Sixth
avenue are having all kinds of trou-
bles these days, and it might be q
good thing for the city marshal to go
around and listen just for while any
way. The street is being graded, and
as result some houses are left high
and dry. while others are still below
sea level Then there is another
thing. Thewater pipes are above the
street grade and will have to be low
cred. Some residents think that the
city ought to stand the expense and
others blame the street commissioners
for not giving them notice every day
for six months. The teams have been
at work for two weeks and still some
of the people are looking for notice
in advance. Some people evidently
kick for fun.
Wedge No. 2 is not dead one by
a long way. This fact was very much
in evidence yesterday and particularly
so when councilman was a party to
the occurrence. Billy Reid offered to
bet friend yesterday $100 that the
wedge would be out of business and
buried by March LIST. The friend
thought it over a while and then came
to the conclusion that a councilman
ought to know, so he did not bet. Mr..
Reid evidently does know and the
council is liable to spring big sur
prise on the public any time.
The good work of the Chamber of
Commerce is again in evidence. For a
long time IT the merchants of Tucson
have suffered a great inconvenience
from the local freight service. The D.
P. operates a regular freight every day.
but no local stuff has been allowed
on it, Only through freight was per-
mitted on this regular. The local is
only run every other day, SO that
whenever piece of local freight was
brought in late for the local, it had
to wait a day and a half This mat
ter was taken up with the officials,
and yesterday the desired results were
obtained. A special car will now be
hooked on to the regular and this will
carry the local freight daily. This
convenience will be appreciated by the
local merchants!
Mrs. Mary E. Teats, the great lee
turer, is expected to arrive in the city
tomorrow morning from Phoenix. She
has scored a big success in the capital
city and she will undoubtedly eclipse
| it in the old pueblo. Her first lecture
will occur at the Congregational
church on Friday evening. Her sub
ject will be Finance, or Americas
Greatest Problem" She will lecture
on Saturday afternoon at the Meth
odist Church on What Shall We Do
With the Child?" Young women and
teachers especially should attend this
