ALMOST A MURDER
A Mexican Left for Dead on the City
 Garbage Dump.

Rather q mysterious incident oc- cured Saturday night that never found it's waytinto newspaper channels till yesterday. A Mexican who had been working somewhere in the coun- try came to town and got on a little holiday spree. The next morning he awolle on the city garbage dump in the river bed at the fott ofg South Seventh street.
 In the course Of time he discovered that he was not dead but that he was not very much alive. He managed to attract the attention of some one who brought him to town and gave him medical attention after which he was taken to the county hospital. His face was battered almost to a pulp, his scalp was cut in several places in a manner suggesting some blunt instru- ment and there was a stab wound in his side little to the left of his stom- ach. He is doing well so far and the chances for recovery are in his favor. The strangest part of the incident is the fact that he cannot recall having trouble with anybody and has no idea of how he received his wounds

It was a case O; crawling out Of one breaker of fun only to be engulfed in another. There was g. fine variety of musical selections, and among the speciality numbers was some Juggling work that is seldom equaled in any amusement company. The chief comedy features were of course sustained by Gallagher and Barrett but every member of the company is a comedy artist of merit
 The girls should not be overlooked for they were numerous and pretty uniquely costumed. sang catchy songs and danced fancy steps. It is hard to imagine what else the theater goer could want if it was a funny show he was after, for "Finnigan's Ball" has become a classic of the comedy stage

A MEMORIAL WINDOW
Will he Placed for Mrs. Alsap, in the
 new III. E. Church South.

It may have been noted with sur prise by some readers of The Repuo lican that the Sunday school of the M. E. church South held no Christmas exercises. The reason for it is an in- teresting one and at the same time il- lustrates the real heart interest that all the members of that church and Sunday school take in their work and worship.
 The servises were omitted this year on account of the death a few days ago of Mrs. Alsap, one of the oldest residents of the city, and a woman who was universally loved and re- spected. Mrs. Alsap has always taken q great interest in the work of that church and has frequently been refer red to as the mother of that Sunday school. She has been foremost in pre- pairing the little ones for Christmas and similar entertainments for years before and her daughter, Miss Maggie, has been the organist. With her death therefore. not only the family and immediate friends, but the entire congregation of the church and Sunday school felt deeply bereaved. Her death being so recent there was no spirit Tor merry making among them.
 It was decided therefore to omit the usual Christmas festivities and in lieu of them make a Christmas offerinh which will be used for the construction of a memorial window for Mrs Aisap in the new church.

MAIL ORDER BUSINESS
A Feature of it Phoenix Merch 4nts
 Should Encourage.

A gentleman familiar with conditions on Cave Creek and in other outlying section suggests a means by which certain Phoenix merchants can enlarge their trade if they will take the trouble
 to do SO. That is in the mail order
 business. There is a difference in mail
 orders. What is generally meant by
 that expression is the ordering by
 Phoenix people of certain goods by catalogue from large department
 stores in the cities but what is meant
 by it in this instance is the ordering
 ci mail-order goods from Phoenix by
 residents in outlying country districts
 like Cave Creek where there are prac-
 tically no stores.
 The matter in question is the perfect
 ing by these merchants Of their mail
 service so as to make prompt returns
 to their patrons. Many of these dis
 tricts are served by mail routes that run twice O. three times a week. The stage from the country gets into Phoe- nix in the evening and returns the next morning, perhaps before the order has been received at the store through the regular mail carrier CT in the case Of q AAIl NLLdhl WHO ndS a DOX, before
 he goes to the postofice after it. The order then cannot be filled till the neSt trip. In the case of Cave Creek for instance the stage leaves Tuesday. The letter is written Monday. reaches 2hoeHiX Tuesday night, the order re- -elVed W Wednesday after the stage has gone. Soes out on the Thursday stage and is delivered Friday. Tn the mean time the Cave Greek lady is saying to herself that she might have orderei that box of hairpins from Los Angeles. got 1t penny cheaper and got it iu-t as quickly. while AlkGli Ike. who was burning up for a drink when he Cr.i- cred a bottle Monday night, thinks the Phoenix merchant is making the goods n order for him. If it's clothes he wants the weather will change before he can get them and if it's medicine he wants he will either be better or dead i before he can get it.
 The postofIiCe is not at fault in the i matter for it is impossible to have q ! carrier delivery after every stage | comes in with a handful Of letters. all l of which may be important The sug- gestlon is that merchants who do a : mail order business, and most of whom l have a postofice box any way, send to | the postofice after the arrival of each | stage so they can fill orders for the re- | turn stage the following morning.
