minutes late. No 10 was eight hours

California.
Remember the big Democratic pa
rade will be held next Monday even
ing. The torch1ight procession, the
transparencies and crowds will be well
worth seeing. The parade will wind
up at the opera house, where a big
rally will be held. Don't forget to
light up the line lof march.
The last of the Rock Islands home
seekers excursions passed through the
city on No. 8 last night. The train
consisted of twenty-three cars, and it
had to be run in twenty-three sec
tions. The passengers were mostly
eastern people who desired to look
over the resources of the great west.
The decision of the Eagles to elect
a carnival queen has aroused whole
lot of interest in the coming event.
The queen and the royal possibilities
are the talk of the town just at pres
ent. The balloting will begin to-
morrow. The ballot boxes we're made
today and the ballots printed. The
polls will be located at several prom
inent business houses, and each vote
will cost five cents. The polls will
close November y. The Eagles will
purchase an elegant gown for the
queen, and will allow her to make her
own selection. The election of a
queen should be spirited and sharply
contested.
The Infants executive committee
has all of a sudden become presump-
tuous. They have even deigned to
send out an order, or rather an urgent
appeal. Many young men of the city
have received one of the typewriter
appeals The committee is after one
hundred young and active voters to
serve as boosters or heelers on election
day. The Infants are evidently get
ting ready to start something. AS, a
matter of fact they have been getting
ready for three months, but the fire
won't burn. The one hundred young
men will receive four-bits apiece. with
instructions to make it go as far as
possible, and not to spend it all at
once.
The after-effects of Halloween
were very much in evidence this morn
ing. There was scarcely a resident
who was not looking for the gate to
his front or back yard. Very often
the gates were discovered several
blocks from home, and the irate owner
was not always in good humor on the
journey back. Signs were toppled
over, and wagons we're easy to run
down hills a few blocks. Horses were
turned out of corrals, and other pranks
too numerous to mention were played.
Many acts of wonton destruction
were also in evidence today. The use
! of paint on houses especially brought
forth storms of wrath today. The
| police should have at least stopped
fthis senseless destruction last night.
The degree of honor will meet this
] evening in the Workman hall. Ar
rangements will be made for the ball
to be given by the lodge on Novem-
ber 7.
Prominent speakers will address the
voters on the issues of the campaign
at the opera house next Monday even
| ing. It will mark the close of the
Democratic campaign. Don't miss 1t.
All voters should be there.
The Chamber of Commerce received
a number of very interesting little
booklets from the Southwest Miners
association today The books give
some valuable facts and figures on the
resources of the great southwest. The
association was formed exclusively to
advertise and develop the RESOURCES OF
the southwest. AS the booklet says:
ssThe possibilities of any section of
country depend very largely upon its
natural resources" The association
desires the cooperation of the people
of this section for the purpose OF show
ing the world our unlimited natural
resources. Arizona is given some
space in the pamphlet. and it is sig
fnificant to mention that out of twenty
four mines mentioned as producers IN
the southwest, sixteen are located in
this Territory.
What might be called q strictly in
dependent political meeting was held
at the University last night. Presi-
dent Adams invited all of the candi-
dates out to meet the students. Both
tickets were ont to a man. Tney

few friendly ioshes back and forth
on the trip. The students were in
troduced to the candidates, and after a
General conversation the meeting adj
iourned. 1t was a very pleasant af-
fair all around Colonel ]. F. Wilson
was also in attendance.
"Pickings from Puck made bic
hit with a we'll filled house last night
It is a roaring farce, and kept the aud
ience in san uproar. Mr.. Simms as
Sam Flinders was half the show He
had the spectators splitting their sides
in every act He brought down The
house impersonating the. cook, Ht
is a clever fellow. Catherine Linyarc
has the same grace and charm which
made her a star years ago. The cho
ruses added variety and spice to the
comedy. Elder Slocum created nc
small part of the laughter and scored
little hit all by himself. The show
was thoroughly enjoyed by TucsOT
