The courthouse at Singapore boasted very valuable clock suspended from the wall directly opposite the bench. One day during a session of the Su- prene court a particularly meek-look- ing Chinaman entered carrying lad- der. Removing his hat, and lowing to the bench with the utmost gravity, he proceeded to remove the clock with businesslike expedition. Tucking the clock under one arm and the ladder under the other, he passed out unchal- lenged, every one present regarding him as coolie sent to remove the clock for the purpose Of cleaning it. Several days passed and the clock not being returned the magistrate reported the delay to the public works department which knew nothing whatever about it, Neither clock nor coolie was ever heard of again.

NOT WHOLLY GOOD.

It's an i'll wind that blows no good and it's a good wind that blows no ill. It is now said that the country store keepers in New York have discovered that rural free delivery is an injury to their business. Under the old postal regulations the farmer went to the Vil- lage for his mail, and just so sure as he went he left some money with the storekeeper. Now he remains at home, never going to the village except in eases of necessity, enlisting the services of the mail carrier to do some little chores which he desires. From the in- terior counties comes the cry that busi- ness has fallen off greatly since the es- tablishment of the free mail delivery, and the merchants are discussing plans to bring about better trade.
 Possibly there is some ground for this complaint Every change disturbs somebody. The telephone and the troll ley have injured some. But there is nothing for those who stand in the way of progress to do except to get out of the way, or accept what progress does to them as calmly as possible.

NEW SHIP OF THE DESERT.

When Andree started for the North Pole in a balloon the enterprise seemed as hopelessly reckless as it turned out to be. The scheme of M. Mager to make an excursion across the desert of Sahara in a navigable balloon is more reasonable and promising, M. Mager has devised new model by means of which he is able to develop power through a motor in which fire is not used. a motor which is said to have the treble advantage of being without danger, of possessing lightness, and not requiring an expensive fuel, the cost of running it not exceeding, it is said, ten centimes per hour. The balloon, it is said, possesses in calm weather the power of passing through the air at a speed of about ninety-three miles an hour. and can be steered in any di- rection, without regard to the strength of the wind.
 It is not likely that M. Mager is going to do anything that will tend to put the patient and beautiful camel out of buei- ness, but if he gets across the big desert once in his balloon it will be notable

< The old man was on his porch in the evening after hard days work, says the Atchison Globe. He had received a letter from his daughter, who is away at a summer resort. Adjusting his spectacles, he read: Tt is nearly heaven here; cool all the time, and the water and air are so invigorating. So much gayety, so much to see, so little to do: such fine surroundings. do hope that you won't work too hard, and that the weather is not so hor- ribly hot es it usually is. I am nearly out of money Don't fail to write off, ten" Then the old man put away his glasses, went out and drew a fresh bucket of water from the well, split the kindling with which to get breakfast. and staggered wearily up to his hot room.

A man in Brunswick, Maine, put ms 4 f,sers in between the knives of a two horse power mower to pull out piece of wire. The horses started and cut of the fingers on one hand. He had them repaired by doctor, and the next day walked out to see the haymakers Some one asked him how he did it and protested that he could not see how 1t could have happened. "Tll show you, ;" said the farmer, and he poked the well hand in between the knives just to ex- plain. The explanation was perfectly lucid, for the horses started up at the instant and the knives cut the fingers off the other hand.

THE NEXT ASSESSOR
The Supervisors Have Decided Upon
 Samuel A. Dysart.

The board of supervisors has deter mined to appoint Samuel A. Dysart county assessor. though the appoint ment has not actually been made. Tha announcement coming this early will relieve the board of the opportunities
 of hundreds who would like to serve the public in that capacity. The office 1 Of assessor fs the best in the gift of the board, and it has been within the gift of the board only since the last legis- llturc. Before that time it had been l cn elective office. but the legislature Irc15on, that the nature of the duties | of the office was such that it would | be better to relieve the holder of it of any obligation to voters who are also taxpayers: that it would be well that | his judgment of the valuation of prop ] erty for purposes of taxation should 1 not be obscured by wish to secure
 the vote of the taxpayer at the next election.
 | The office comes to MT. Dysart as a salve. He was one of the candidates l before the democratic county conven- tion fer the office of probate judge. He i believed and his friends believed that i he had earned the nomination at the 1 primaries, and it was conceded that he should be the nominee. Just before the convention though an effort was made | to harmonize the party, and MT. Dysart
 was one of the two victims offered up
 on the altar of reconciliation.
 | The office of assessor is as good T i berth as the office of probate judge, and MT. Dysart gets it without the an noyance and expense of a campaign or | the uncertainty of election. So he be- l lieves that whom the democratic party | l0VCth it chasteneth

A VISITING DEFECTIVE
But Hs Is Not Laying for Anybody
 in Phoenix.

Jesse T. Peck, chief of detectives Of Evansville, Ind, stopped in Phoenix yesterday while on his was to Los An gelcs. He is a brother of Miss Peck. a well known music teacher who has lived here for scne years. MT. Peck takes the greater interest In his visit here for the reason that his father, who lives in Evansville. has large realty in terests beth in the vicinity of Phoenix and in Mesa City. He expressed him self as greatly pleased with Phoenix and the courtry generally as far as he had been able to see it.
 Mir. Peck's mission to Los Angeles is to take back to Evansville man by the name O; Ed Stroebel, who has been captured by the Los Angeles off, cers, and who is wanted in Evansville for the wrongful appropria ton of other peoples money to his own purposes.
 Stroebel was formerly engaged in business in Evansville. representing a branch agency of a brewery establish ment. Finding that he could not make as much money honestly as he needed to keep up his pace, ke collected about $500 for the firm he represented and on August 18th left the city without telling anybody his probable postohice ad- dress. Since then he has been fugi- tive from justice. Circulars were sent out to the various parts of the country, and Marshal Kinney has a good de- scription of the man on flle which he now has no further use for.

LAID TRACK YESTERDAY
P. 6 E. Construction Train En Route
 to Tempe.

Roadmaster S. w. Higley of the s. F. P. & r. railroad was here yesterday and full of business for under his su- pcrVision the track laying force of the Phoenix and Eastern began operations bright and early in the morning. About three fourths of mile of ties and steel were laid yesterday, and the work will be pushed as fast as possible till the graders are Cyertaken. The graders are now working on the little hills this side of Tempe and will soon be at the river It is believed steel will be down as far as Salt river in ten days. There is plenty of ties, steel and other ma terial now on hand to complete the sec tion of the. road between here and Tempe.
 An interesting thing iH connection with this work is t-1 fact that the foreman or boss tracklayer is Patrick Linslcey, who had charge of the track laying force when the s. F. P. e P. W-s built into Phoenix several years ago. Tracklayiag is his business, and he i- ready to build railroads in and out c. Phoenix whenever the people want them and attend to the necessary preiiminaries. Recently himself and the men under him have been engaged in laying the steel on the Crown King extension Of the Prescott anc Eastern railroad.
 The business Of laying track in these days has grown to be an art, CT at lest a science. The old days when everything was done by main strength a-d awl:ward1ess have passed away, q now few men with the proper equipment can lay more track in a day t,l-n Cn army of men could in q week fe1. years ago. A locomotive with 9cvcTal cars of ties and the steel cars in fro-t of them pushes the material clear out 10 the end of the grade. The ties are then loaded on wagons and ecGttered a little distance ahead. The rteel men follow as closely behind as convenient. The old-fashioned way ne Cessitatad haulinE the ties and rails long distances on wagons.
 There is no longer doubt in anybody's mind. as there should never have been. regarding the intentions of the Phoenix '~d Eastern to build real railroad. If anybody wants to prove it TOW he can 50 and look at the rails with a train running over then.

A plea of not guilty had been entered beside Q special plea that the defendant had been convicted of the same offense in q territorial court and at this time was undergoing punishment under a sen tence inflicted there. In instructing the jury the court said that the jury should find for the United States on that plea, for this was a case in which one might be punished twice for the same offense. The majesty Of the general government had not been satisfied by the punish ment the territory had inflicted on Chacon. This verdict was returned and also one that Chacon was guilty a. charged.
 Pasqual Garcia, otherwise known as Wis Hook, Papago Indian, charged with selling liquor to an Indian, plead. ed guilty and was remanded for sen-. tence.

OASIS CLUB MEETING
An Informal Address by Engine CT
 Arthur P. Davis.

The Oasis club, which meets twice a month during the winter, held it's first meeting of the season last night in the parlors Of Coffee AIS place. In accord ance with the bylaws of the club those present spent the early part of the evening very pleasantly around the banquet board.
 Later Arthur r. Davis, chief hydro grapher and engineer of the geological bureau, who was the guest of the club, msde an informal and very interesting talk on the result of his investigation of matters pertaining to irrigation since the passage of the law providing for the construction of reservoirs by the government. Of particular interest to this valley was the statement that the Tonto dam site is so nearly ideal that the government would no doubt begin the construction of the reservoir at once. were the acres in this valley still public land. As they are not it is nec- essary to complete the details now n the hands of the people before anything can be done. Mir. Davis statement made it clear that the people are not now waiting for the government, but the government is waiting for the peo- pie.
 Mir. Davis remarks also showed that Arizona is receiving a great deal more attention from the government than most people are aware of. Three dam sites on the Colorado river are under consideration, and should q dam be constructed there more land would be reclaimed in Arizona than in California, the acreage running into the hundreds of thousands. Further, immense water

WOman'S Wealth Is Health
CELERY COMPOUND
Gives Vitality, Vigor and Strength to DebiIitated and Rundown Women.

It is maintained by many diztin- | guished writers that the greatness or a nation depends much upon the physical condition of it's women. The general conditions which contribute to health and long life, are those which do not imply q rapid and unequal exhaustion
 of those powers by which life is main tained While we assert that the wo-
 men of our land stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact that there are thousands in our midst who, ewing to overwcrk, worry, household cares, and an unequal exhaustion of l life power, have become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debilitated.
 We bring to the attention of all weary, Respondent. hopeless, and sichly women earth's great rescuec and health builder, Paine's Celery Compound. Thousands O.. healthy women around
 us owe their present Vigor activity. and robustness to Paine's Celery Com pound. Mrs. stephen smith, St. Paul, Minn., tells how she was snatcned from
 the grave; she says
 Il had a bad attack of Ia grippe this spring and was at deaths door, and
 no one ever expected me to recover. l
 was SO veal that as soon as they brought me cut of one faint 1 was in another. I could not take any nourish- mert. and doctors medicines did me no gcod. A friend advised my husband

Some of the Troubles of Wicked Men
 and Women.

The police yesterday morning placed ia the custody of the county authorities the man giving the name of Donovan, who was arrested the day before for trospcze:-g oa the premises of a lady livi-s ia Moatgomery's addition.

 Gregcrice Voltaire. who should not be ccnfounde1 with the great philoso- phcr, was found drunk on the sidewalk in front of Wells Fargo and Co.'S office Sunday night The recorder yesterday booked him for five days iH the base ment
 The crime Of John Putnam. who was arrested fer trying to pass whiskey into the city jail; was so heinous that the recorder did not feel morally strong enough to try it without mature de liberation, 90 it was postponed until Saturday. The unfortunate thing about cases of this kind is that most offend CTS arc not intentional law breakers. but through misdirecte1 sympathy they try t1 favor fellow humans who do not seem to be enjoying jail life, overlooking the fact that if such things were permitted saws. knives and ether dangerous things might be passed in to the prisoners. The practice is one of the most trying thincs the police have to contend with. and the penalty is therefore made severe.
 Charlie Doe was arrested for con- sorting with a class of women that exists in this town only theoretically. and under no license of law. He put up a ten dollar bail bond and jumped it to the satisfaction of everybody.
 Simona Peralta, who has not been in jail before for Q week or two, was ar rc~tcd Sunday night for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. She will be out of jail in ten days CT less ii she can raise a little money.
 John Doe was given a thirty day sen tence on the charge of going to sleep while drunk. It looks like big pen alty to pay for such an offense. but the reason for it is that this particular Jchu Dee is q chronic offender. and the only was to keep him sober is to keeo him in jail. And it cannot be denied that all men ought to be kept sober.

C. T. KrCeaer, the young man who was il jail here a month ago on q charge of obtaining money by false pTetenses, appears to be more kinds of Q scoundrcl than he seemed to be. His father. who came here from Long Branch, W.

Until that time he had been a model fer all young men
 His father evidently did not know him, for it seems that he had at that time been guilty of bigamy. Marshal Kinney yesterday received the follow ing letter from Harvey Van Kuren, tDaveling man of Louisville, Ky: Would you please let me know what has become Of C. H.
