NO FISH STORY.

J. II. Putnam, reliable farmer OF
Msgness, this county, tells the follow
ing for a fact He says he found a
dead snake between two logs of his
barn, and OH investigation found that
the reptile had swallowed frog, then
crawled in the crack as far as he could
and swallowed mouse, which fixed
the snake so he could not got out, so
he died there with frog on one side
and mouse on the other side of the
crack he had crawled in. Who can

NEW OSTRICH FARM
Mess1s. Pickrell and Penick Going
 Into the Bird Business.

It was a matter of current report last evening that a deal of considerable inn portance which has been under con sideration for a long time was consum- mated yesterday. though no comments have been recorded yet in confirmation of it. The enterprise in question is the establishing of another ostrich farm in this valley, the gentlemen backing the enterprise being w. s. Pickren of this city and a brother of Rev. F.. A. Penick of Phoenix.
 The other party to the transaction is A. Y. Pearson, who must necessarily be 2 party to every large ostrich deal in the country, as he is the J. Pierpont Morgan of the ostrich business in America. The new company has purchased from MT. Pearson over forty good birds as a nucleus for it's stock. Mir Pickrell trading his city property in the deal.
 MT. Pickrell was at one time a part ner in the business of the Phoenix os- trich farm to which MT. Pearson sue ceeded, and is therefore not going blindly into something he does not un- derstand. The ostrich business has been made a great success in this valley and there is lots of room for another big enterprise of the same kind.

PARTIES LINING UP
Meetings Yesterday of Both Central
 Committees.

A meeting of the republican county central committee was held yesterday afternoon at the office of Judge Kibbey, at which the officers of the committee were chosen. James F. Bark was elect ed chairman, J. l.. Burrows secretary and Lloyd B. Christy treasurer The officers were directed to select the ex- ecutive committee, which will be done within a day or two. The committee lis entering upon it's work with enthu- siasm. It believes that the ticket will be successful, and confidence will go a great way toward success. The officers are all hustlers, and have had a great deal of political experience. MT. Bark is acquainted with almost every voter in the county, as is also Mir. Christy. Secretary Burrows is as familiar with political methods as any man in the territory, and is counted upon for good work in the campaign.
 The democratic central committee also held a meeting. It had been al ready organized, 90 that there was rothing to be done yesterday but talk over the situation. All the candidates had been sent for, and they approached the meeting place with fear and trem- bling, for it was understood that the leg pulling was to be started. The tor ture was deferred, though, for two weeks. The committee wants time to find out just how much the traffic will bear.
 There is a great deal of anxiety among the democrats as to what part the Good Government league will take
 in the campaign. Two years ago the church people played an important part in the election, and several of the can didates on both tickets owed their de- ment. The church vote will consist of several parts, which will probably work together. There is the prohibition, or temperance, element, which will insist that the candidates it will support shall be teetollers. The church people will insist upon all ether moral qualifica- tions.
 Several meetings have been held, at witch it has been proposed to endorse men on each ticket, if suitable men are on either, and if not. to name a candidate. Some are in favor of nomi- mating an entirely new ticket. The ob- jection to that Is the impossibility of electing any part of it. Such a ticket could not include any of the candi- cans CT the democrats since no name can appear more than once on the official ballot: It is probable therefore. that the endorsement plan will be adopted.

EVER THINK ABOUT IT?
Many a Resident of Phoenix
 Will Tell You

We are living in a very rapid age. Few of us bother our heads about small things, and so many persons look upon | a pain, ache or lamenesS in the back as small thing. They wait for it to pass off, giving no thought to the cause. Remember these important facts, take a mental note of them for future use, and when the time comes use them. The kidneys are the sewers of the sys- tenn; they carry off the impure matter, but sewers sometimes become clogged up. So do the kidneys. The kidneys are located near the small of the back hence any stoppage affects the back. This means backache. lame back, weak back and many other distressing symp- toms. There is lots more to tell on this subject, but we won't do it here, for we want to show you how to keep the kidneys so the back will have no cause to ache.
 MT. A. S. Sampson, of 1729 Forest avenue. Kansas City, carpenter and painter by trade, says: Tt is seven or eight years since I first felt the effects of kidney trouble. During that time I have had some very severe attacks, often being laid up for weeks at q time, not able to work at all. l not only had pains in my back, but my head acheI so that l thought at times it would split. l doctored a great deal and used every kind of medicine I knew about. bur without relief. I finally tried Doan's Kidney Pills and I think I owe my life to their use. I continued the treatment until I had taken three boxes. when the pains in my back were removed, my appetite returned and my whole system was regulated"
 Just such emphatic endorsements can be had right here in Phoenix. Drop into The Brisley Drug Co.'S drug store and ask what their customers re- port.

 This change for Mir. Burns is in the nature Of a promotion, as it is step higher in the line of his work. a more important section of the service and involving 2 much larger volume of business. He has made study of f.recasting. and will shortly have an opportunity to use his knowledge in that line, as forecasting will be a part O. his duty in Illinois
 MT. Burns says that in his departure he regrets leaving SO many good friends as he has been uniformly courteously treated. He has tried to perform his duties here faithfully, and he feels that he has done his best under the circum- stances. The weather bureau service has been enlarged and facilities in- creased under his management. The public has also been made to appreciate Tn a larger measure the value of the service. and the work of the bureau commands greater general respect MT. Burns has taken an interest in all public matters where he could be of benefit to the town or territory. and has tried to give tQ the people the greatest possible benefits to be derived from the service under his direction A notable illustration was his address before the archaeological excursionists, which has since been reproduced in medical journals. It will probably be some weeks before MT. Burns leaves here, as the date depends On the arrival If his successor.

The Germ That Causes It Has to Be

Two hours a week, at the age of 40 years she has spent 26O days of F hours each, or two-thirds of a year of her life. in that vain hope; vain because you can't cure dandruff with out killing the dandruff germ, and the only hair preparation on earth that will do that is Newbro's "Herpicide"-also a delightful hair dressing. and thor ough antiseptic against all contagion from use of others hair brushes.

THE SUNS NAVAJO BLANKET.

The following poem appears in the Monthly Magazine of the Denver high school. The author is Miss Julia Win nifred Mosher, granddaughter of Mrs. s. D. Louat. Miss Mosher is native daughter. and lived in Phoenix until two years ago. From babyhood the Navajo blankets held fascination for her which finds expression in verse: As I wandered once at sunset
 With an Indian named Cochest, He told me a wOndrous story
 Of the sun in the golden west. Twas but an Indian legend,
 Yet it has firmly on my mind Left a strange and vague impression Myths so seldom leave behind. Long moons ago." his story ran,
 "The Great Spirit who ruled oi old Said to his sons, LolSon, the sun.
 And Katsuma, the North Wind cold: My night has now been long and
 drear.
 And rent with many a strife So I'll journey not afar this year
 To the Fount of Perpetual Life. '' TO the one that is the strongest
 My Earthly Kingdom I shall hand. And he must rule OCT the red me1 Till they leave for the spirit iand "So late one night. when all was dark, And Lukon was in slumber lost, Katsuma covered the bright green arch With crystals of icy frost.  "Lolion awoke and forth he looked At the work his brother had done And, To. the silver crystals cold
 Vanished one by one. Thus the mighty contest waged.
 Till the moons that passed were two: No matter what Katsuma did,
 Lokon would soon undo. "So the Great Spirit, as he promised. Gave Lokon his scepter in hand And quietly stole away
 To rule in the Spirit land. Then Katsura said with a smile
 My revenge I now shall reap, So I now the cold North Wind shall
 make
 You shiver in your sleep 'So if you look at sunset
 At the sun in the Golden West, Youll see him all wrapped in gray
 blankets.
