WATER STORAGE LECTURES
This Opportunity for Information
 Should Not Be Missed.

As each day passes it is more and more apparent that the water storage committee made no mistake when they arranged for an illustrated lecture on The Tonto Basin and Dam" by hr- thur ?. Davis of the United States Geo logical Survey. It is a subject in which the public are vitally interested. and everybody in and around Phoenix has decided 10 go tomorrow CTuesday) ev- ening. if possible. to hear Mir. Davis. The same may be said of the Mesa peo- pie tonight and the Tempe people on Wednesday night.
 But the seating capacity of halls is not unlimited, keep in mind, andit will be impossible to accommodate all who are planning to attend. Consequently, the committee feel that, inasmuch as this is absolutely a taxpayers prOpOsi- tion, none but taxpayers or their fami- lies should be admitted. and hereby make announcement to that effect.
 No one class of citizens will cOntri- bute so much in payment for a govern- ment reservoir. and no one class aas so much at stake in it's construction, as the rancher. and it is for this class especially that this lecture was origin ally intended and planned. Let every landowner come.

SKIPPER MONTROsE
a Story of a Phoenix Mardi Gris in
 His Honor.

The Peoria Qlls.) Star gives the 1oi- lowing account of the festivities which took place here on the occasion of the arrival of Manager Montrose of the Hotel Adams. The demonstration. which was necessarily of an aquatic character. would have been much mors intense if it had not taken place at the flag end of the carnival week. The Star says of it:
 Delayed press dispatches by way Of Bad Hat. Utah, from Phoenix, iriz.. describe the arrival of that distin- guished PeOrian, Skipper Slater Mont rose, at Phoenix last Saturday at mid night The entire population of the city turned out to do him honor, and there were 27- different kinds of bands 1t the depot. He was deposited on q float which, to make him feel at home, was q correct model of his swift sail ing yacht. the Rosebud, which has so often graced the waters of Lake Peoria The townspeOple then formed a trium- phal procession through the city streets, which wereappropriately dec Orated for the occasion, to the plaza where MT. Montrose addressed them in a few happily chosen words, thanking them for their kindness and hospitality to an entire stranger, but assuring them that he would not be so long, he wound up with the only appropriate address usual at such times"

Miss Groff and Miss Buckley left only the most pleasing remembraaces of their work. MT. Oberle could no, have pany appeared in the most glowing colors instead Of it's being the final ending of a disappointed ambition.
 Mcssrs. Norris and Belasco were good as they always are and Mir and Mrs. Belmour will ever be remembered by tke Phoenix theater-gCers as artists of ability. Messrs. BOsworth, McAuliffe, Hamilton and Saw yer were serene as usual and the performance though something of a failure as a benefit was an unusually good orc from the stand point c, art.

 O. the managers, Mossrs. Ob2rie. Norris and Belasco, it can be said that three more popular fellows with the profession and with the public at large. never trcd the boards ia Arizona. Their friends are legion and their hearts are brave They made q splendid effort to give the people of the southwest a nrst-class up Co date theatrical company. They carried their enterprise through it's trial trip around the circuit with dattcring success ia every way except financially. They gave a high class Of performances and they employed only the best people professionally and personally. They had the best stock company that eyer appeared in these parts and the state ncnt is not made with any ulterior motive. for the company no Icager has need Of ptcss notices. The association of both managers and actors was mutually agreeable. each Knowing that all were doing their bezt. They met as friends, worked together harmoai- cusly and parted as friends with each other. and with the public And they are ccly appreciative also of the many kindnesscs shown them by their friends who have given them hearty support. The launching Of the company was in the first place somewhat in the nature of an experiment.. That it was an un- successful one is due entirely to chain cf circumstances that could not be pre- vented, such as bad weather. the counter excitement c: politics. long and expensive jumps between towns. and can in no instance be traced to bad management CT lack of enterprise or talent. The incident is a closed one but it will be Ions remembered by | those who patronize the playhouses ot Arizona, New Mexico and El Paso.

by a ponderous wooden door fastened with big lock.
 Shortly before o'clock Saturday night Capt Bush heard an unusual noise below and made an investigation but saw nothing unusual. The next time he visited the jail the cell was empty.
 The two women's cells are separated by a heavy plank double partition. the plank tacing smooth in each cell. The prisoners broke two iron legs from the toilet in their cell and by constant chipping in the small crack between the plank finally secured q leverage which enabled them to pry off the plank Then by putting all their strength against the plank on the other side of the wall they forced it back. 'eaving an opening through which they passed into the next cell. that being lnoccupied. happened to be unlocked. Then inserting their iron levers into the office door they forced the lock and were free. They took the pre- caution, however, t3 carry the iron levers with them. presumably Gs a weapon with which to brain anyone who might detect them or Interfere with their plans.
 The noise of prying of the plaTtH in the wall of the cell is probably what Officer Bush heard but when he visited the prisoners the place was nicely coz cred up by their hedGing.

THEY BROKE JAIL
McQue and Sloan, Two Bad Men,
 Escape from City BastIe.

James McQUe and William Sloan broke out of the city jail between : and 8 o'clock Saturday night. in a manner that fully settles in the minds Of the police what they had previously sus- pected, that they are professional criminals and bad men to deal with. The police are now anxious to secure their arrest again that they may be tried on the felony charge of jail break ing unless something even more seri- ous should develop against them.
 McQue was arrested first for vag rancy. offering to sell a ''phOAy" ring which he claimed to have bought from a drunken miner at Lordsburg. On this charge he was sentenced to fifteen days in jail. On Friday while employed on the chain gang he broke the lock on the ball and chain that held him to his job and attempted to escape but was cap tured and sixty days more added to his sentence. Sloan was arrested for selling a ring the exact duplicate of the one McQue offered and was sentenced to fifteen days under the Vagrancy act.
 Friday noon when Jaiier Hill went into the corridor of the jail McQue as sauIted him with chair MT. Hill managed to escape from him and se- curing a club "bufaioed" him into re- spectiul consideration. As the result of this incident and Knowing the two men were pals, they were taken cut of the common jail herd and placed in one Of the wumen's cells, which open directly into the jail office, that is itself connected with the basement hallway

TEE LAST PERFORMANCE
And the Cruel Fate of the Oberle
 Stock Company.

The Oberle Stcck company finished it's engagement at the Doris theatre Saturday night in a manner the mem- bers of the company may ever be proud of and the organization is now a thing 0: the past. An accident to The Re publican's machines at a late hour Sat urday night prevented a fitting men ton of the event in yesterdays issue There was only a fair audience pres ent, some wEo had bought tickets re- mainitg at home on account of the in- clemency of the weather. But a more appreciatiVe audience could not be found anywhere and there was ap- plause at every juncture. where demonstration could be made without an Interruption of the performance.
 The programme as previously an nounced was q choice selection of scenes from the strongest plays in the ccmpany's repertoire, giving the diff ferent members opportunity for an ex- hibiton of their special lines of work There were also musical selections by MT. Niesz and Pref. Smith. the well
 known violin soloist. No comment is necessary on the work of the actors fer they were all al their best and as some enc has said the best is plenty good enough. Miss Lucy LoveH was particularly fine in her favorite emo tional parts and Miss Virginia Cranna

POST OFFICE BUSINESS. Though the business cf the Phoenix post once is now bigger than ever before, owing to the holiday rush it is rather curi- ous fact that the November business was not as large as that of October. Another interesting thing 10 note IS the great number of changes of address, as by it some idea can be obtained ot the number of visitors in the city. During tho months of October and No vember there were 2037 changes left at the post office windows. which indi- cates considerable moving around. Most of these changes were made by new comers' who are getting settled Tor the winter.

preparations, and by causing to be levied
such taxes as will do so, provide for the
payment of interest as it falls due, and a
sinking fund that would proXide for the
payment of the principal at maturity"
This act was passed June 20, 1874. but
until the passage of the act approved by
the President June II. 1878, this proportion
was never fixed by the government, nor
any steps taken to extend aid to the credit
and resources of the District, except by
partial and spasmodic appropriations.
To quote from minority report submit
ted to the Senate in 1877: cat the end of
six years only of a government irresponsi-
bic to the people the public debt amounts
to SO, 900 O0O-more than one-fourth OF the
assessed value of the property of the Dis
trict. Meanwhile $4,000, 600 has been as
sessed as special taxes on the property of
the citizens. ten millions on the same as
general taxes, and Congress had appropri-
ated six million dollars. Deducting the
original indebtedness. we find the enormous
sum of fifty million dollars as the net ex-
pendfture of six years of government by
officers appointed by the President and con-
hrmed by the Senate. OF this vast sum,
not less than forty millions are chargeable
to improvements.
