The Thanksgiving Ball Was
a Great Success

The thirteenth grand annual ball of
the G. |. A. to the B. of L. E. took
place at Music Hall on Thanksgiving
eve and for the thirteenth time the
Auxiliary gave their guests a truly
royal time.
The weather was ideal for the pur-
pose, just snappy enough to make fair
cheeks glow and bright eyes brighter.
while the stars sparkled brilliantly to
light the way.
The keepers Of the door we're Mrs.
!. S. Raitt and Mrs. A. Pollock. The
reception committee were the members
of Division No. 48 and right well were
the attendant duties performed.
The floor managers were Mrs H.
L. Huston, Mrs. T. j. Yeargin, Mrs.
A. Clements, Mrs. J. A. Goldie, Mrs.
F. A. Marshall Mrs. J. w. Swaney.
Mrs. J. B. Cunningham was director
and Mrs. Ed Shepley assistant director
1t is not necessary to say the floor was
handled perfectly. The ladies' further
were interchangeable in their efforts to
see that everybody should feel at home
and become acquainted and enjoy the
occasion.
The music was furnished by an
orchestra from Reno. the very best
that could be secured.
The floor had been carefully attended
and was in coed condition for the may
waltz or any dance.
The program Of dances was care
fully selected and gave entire salts
faction.
The program itself was a beautiful
specimen of the printers art in three
colors. 1t was fitting souvenir of the
occasion and will be treasured by mary
as such.
The supper given by Mrs. Clay was
par excellent. consisting Of the substan-
tials and all the delcacies Of the season,
foretaste Of Thanksgiving times.
The grand march was led by dad
Ross and Mrs. Clements.

ARE YOU
 ONE OF THEM...

Hundreds of citizens of Phoenix are enjoying the cup of fresh roasted An koIa" Mocha and Java these mornings. Aromatic, pungent and delicious, if properly made. It steadies the nerves, brightens your wits and brushes the cobwebs from the brain, refreshes and invigorates you, in fact puts you in the pink of condition for the days fray and generally lands you on the side of the winner at night. Our "Ankola' Mocha and Java coffee is the most honest coffee cold in Phoenix today. Absolutely as free from adulterants as the driven snow. It goes farther. It's better, it's purer, than any ether. When you buy stale coffee you lose the aroma and pungency of the berry. which es- capes and you use the dregs.

MUNICIPAL BUSINESS
Bids Opened. Franchise Granted and
 Water Storage Encouraged.

The city council met last night in special meeting called to consider print ing and other bids, but in the course of the evening transacted considerable inn portant business. A full council was present together with the city attorney and marshal as coaches.
 Bids were submitted by all the lead ing printing establishments of the city. Councilman Sanders believed there was something that needed investiga- tion in the matter of bids regarding the printing of the minutes and ordi- nances and moved that all bids for this purpose be rejected and new bids called for, to be submitted at the next regu- lar meeting, and that the bids for job work be referred to the finance com mittee for consideration. The motion carried.
 In the matter of boarding the city prisoners, bids were submitted by s. U. Tribolet, B. O. Brown, P T. Hurley. L. Weller. M. Scrismer, and G. T.. Bellas. The lowest bid was nine and four tenths per meal by B. o. Brown,

symptoms Of his fatal ailmeni were first manifested. It was feared that he vas suffering from appendicitis and when he grew worse. Dr. Bryant of Los Angeles, one of the most eminent snr- geons on the coast was sent for. He arrived the next day by a special train accompanied by Mir. Bixby's brother, Mir. George Bixby After the arrival of Dr. Bryant it was decided that an op- eration was not immediately necessary and that it might not be necessary at all and the surgeon returned to Los An gcles. Last Saturday the ailment de- veloped so that it became evident that something would have to be done with out delay. The operation relieved the immediate trouble. the pus was with drawn and drainage established, but what has happened was feared.
 Mir BiXby was a member of the firm of BiXby Bros. of Los Angeles, large land owners and engaged in variety of enterprises. one of which was sheep range in the northern part of the terri tory. The brothers were worth several million dollars and not long ago sold q tract of land lying between Los Angeles and the seashore for a million.
 About three years ago it became necessary for Mir. Bixhy to come to this valley for relief form lung trouble. and he had spent considerable part Of every winter here since.
 The funeral will take place at five o'clock this afternoon from the resi- denoe. It will be conducted by Rev. r.. A. Penick. The remains will be taken to Los Angeles for interment in Ever green cemetery. They will be accom- panied by Mrs. Bixby. Mir. George Bixby and Miss Lucia Burnett, friend of the family, who accompanied MT. George Bixby and Dr. Bryant from Los Angeles. The pail bearers this af- ternoon will be Messrs. H. l. Latham. l.. H. Landis, Frank Ainsworth, Gordon Tweed. Roy s. Goodrich and w. w Thayer.
 Henry Llewellyn Bixby was thirty two years of age. He was graduated from Yale in the class of '93. and after ward took a course of two years in medicine In 1899 he was married to Miss Jullette W. Graham. He leaves besides the widow a baby two years of age. Harry l.. BiXby. jr.
 Both MT. and Mrs. Bixby have been very popular and active In social circles during their residence in Phoenix Both were members of the country club and at the annual meeting of the club last Saturday. MT Bixby was elected a di- rector.

FIREMEN FIN FETE
And How Fate Handed It to the
 Five Points Company.

The history of the Phoenix Fire de- partment is replete with many notable events. Some of them have been very serious and provoked the deep concern of the public, while others have been | seriously funny. but deeply concerned only the members. A demonstration oc- cured last night that aroused the cur icsity of everybody on the streets, but the people most deeply concerned were the members of the newly organized Five Points company. who were given a bloody initiation into the real inner workings of a volunteer department They will have something to remember for a long time after they get well. The few that were killed were weak lings and were buried quietly. so they will not be missed
 About o'clock the department in full uniform and headed by the apparatus with all gongs ringing. paraded Wash ington street to the tune of "A Hot Time" played by the Pioneer band. There was red fire galore and behind the apparatus came one of the initiates trundling a handsomely decorated wheelbarrow to represent the Five Points fire fighting machinery All the
 
 fun and swarmed on the city hall plaza till late hour listening to the fire of musketry in the hall during the cere- monials that followed the parade. No one save members of the department were permitted to enter except city councilmen and the press and these gentlemen all subscribed with a pen dipped in blood. to an oath obligating them to tell everything that happened except the truth.
 To make a long story short an init iatory team headed by Mephisto and assisted by a dozen or so of his favorite imps. simply raised - the candidates cut of their boots. Anyhow what they did do was a plenty. None of them complained about not getting all that was coming to them. and it is certain that none of them are now afraid of fire, for they have been through It.. When any candidate became recalclt- rant they shot him and took another.
 After the initiates were all subdued the Brocken scene was magically trans formed into a barbecue spread and all present assumed the role of starving Cuban reconcentradoes and gave pleasing representatio of what hungry men can do at a banquet. Some Of them made speeches. but they are left out for lack of space and several other and better reasons. A stag dance was the finale

and the next was nine and nine-tenths
 cents by G. J. Bellas. From that | they ranged up to thirteen and | a half cents. Immediately after ' they were read a communication
 was handed in requesting the with
 drawal of the lowest two bids. That
 created cOnsternation and all bids were rejected and new ones called for, some of the members fearing they were up
 against a hot meal trust

 now being circulated, to show the city's willingness to cooperate in the pro
 posed plan of salvation. The acreage
 under municipal control is about eleven quarter sections, and he was told
 to represent all of it.
 Slight amendments were made in the ordinance granting to weirick C.
 Latham and their assigns, a franchise to construct an electric street railway ! through the city to connect with a lina from Glendale and another from Mesa 1 City. Within thirty days they are to give a bond of s5,OOO. for the fuIhllment of the contract, and are to begin work ! one mile in operation. ten trips daily. within one year. They are also to give the city two per cent of the profits of that portion of the mileage within the corporation. The only opposition to
 :he franchise was by Councilman Shott. who objects to freight being hauled. even on an electric car The franchise covers the following streets: First avenue from city limits on the south to Adams street on the north: from Seventeenth avenue to Seventh street; Grand avenue. from city limits via the intersection of Van Burer street and Seventh avenue, thence along Van Buren street to city limits on the east: Sixth avenue from Adams street to Van Buren street and Seventh street from Adams to Van Buren street.
 A fire plug was ordered placed at the corner of Van Buren and Second streets providing main runs there.
 The committee appointed to confer with the supervisors regarding the re- moval of the pest house, reported that they were working in harmony and are now looking for a suitable site. A communication was read from the Woman's club saying it was understood the club could have the council chamber fer meeting purposes during the winter, but the ladies were kindly but firmly refused on the ground that it was a bad precedent to establish. Other clubs equally worthy might desire the same favors, and the council decided not to place themselves in an embarrassing position later on.
 E. S. Hershey, representing the house numbering franchise owners, was in- structed to proceed at once with the work frequently mentioned heretofore. and the matter of putting up street sign boards was referred to the com mittee on streets and alleys.
 At the request of the city attorney the council instructed him to purchase seven volumes of municipal decisions, compiled from all court reports of last ten years.
 Councilman Dunlap requested that the two new street lamps for his ward be placed one at Seventh and Jackson streets and the other at Third avenue and Sherman street.

NOTHING LIKE PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND For Cleansing and Purifying
 the Blood
1t Removes the Germs of Disease, Invigorates and
 ReiuvenateS.

Thousands of men and women who have neglected the work of physical re- cuperation in the summer months are now carrying a burden of disease. In the majority of cases, impure and pois- oned blood and a sluggish ciculation are the direct causes of suffering and misery. Are you, dear reader. one of the unhappy victims? If so, the life stream must be made pure, the health vrecking laxity of the blood vessels must be corrected, the nerves and tis- sues must be nourished. Palne's Gel cry Compound is the medicine that physicians recommend for the increase of pure blood in the arteries and for arousing the purifying organs to cast off the impurities that give rise to dis ease. Mir. Jas. F. Hudson, Spring Ridge. La, was terrible sufferer from impure blood; he tells how he banished his troubles:
 From some cause my blood became impure and resulted in boils and pim- pies. At one time I suffered from 2T boils. No one can imagine what I sui fared. I tried sulphur, sarsaparillas and other remedies. but no relief came. MT. Sebastian a merchant whom used to clerk for. handed me one Of your circulars and insisted that After using two or three bottles the bCils were not so numerous nor as large. After using the fifth bottle I was entirely cured, and have been my self ever since"

DEATH OF E. L. BIXBY
Surgical Operation Last Sunday Wa
 Ineffective.

Harry L. Bixby died at five o'clock yesterday evening at his home on North Seventh street An operation had been performed on him the day before for the removal of an abcess in the abdominal cavity. The abcess was removed. but at the conclusion of the operatio there was little hope of his recovery. MT. Bixby was not in the first place sufficiently strong to stand an operation. though the only chance for his life lay in it. He was a sufferer from a pulmonary trouble and beside he was afflicted with heart disease.
