lO2 MILES AN HOUR.
MILWAUKEE ENGINE ESTABLISHES
RECoRD FOR FAST TRAVELLING.
Distance from Chicago to the wisoonsia
Cit~ Coveted in 81 Minutes best
Time Hitherto Made was One Hour
and Thirty-Two Minutes.

One Of the Milwaukee's new mann
moth engines has broken the record be-
tween Milwaukee and Chicago. On New
Years eve the new compound Atlantic
type engine. No. 921. made the eighty
I'VE and two-tenths miles from Chicago
to Milwaukee In eighty-seven minutes.
or one hour and twenty-seven minutes.
The previous record is said to have
been one hour and thirty-two minutes
and the fastest schedule of the Milwau-
kee calls for the run in one hour and
forty-fve minutes. During three and
four-tenths miles Of the distance be-
tween Caledonia and Lakewood the
train maintained speed of . trife
Jver 102 miles per hour. The distance
between these two stations. three and
four-tenths miles, was made in exact
ly two minutes.
Considering the fact that no prepare
ton was made for the run, and con-
sidering the conditions, the run Is re-
markable. The train left Chicago at
1915 p. m. twenty minutes late. the
engine hauling six sixty-foot mail and
express cars. and arrived at Milwaukee
at I1:42. just two minutes late. Tho
two terminals required slow time and
there were slow downs for five railway
crossings. one full stop at Western are
nue.. but no stops for water.
Edgebrcok to Stowell, seventy-two
miles, was covered in sixty-nve min
utes. or at the rate Of sixty-six and
one-half miles per hour. Tho distance
from Wadsworth to Western Union
Junction. nineteen miles. was made In

During the forenoon the president
made slight gain, and held It well

squadron consisting of Captain Bush and officers Marshall, Porter and Law renee. It was learned that in the open lot in the rear of that block Josie Miller and q Mexican woman not in the habit of frequenting Sunday schools had en- gagged in TOW. The Mexican woman was drunk and noisy. After the fight Josie was secreted in the Columbus wine room by two more women who reside on South Seventh street, and later spirited to an adobe house nearby.
 When the police arrived the Mexican woman was arrested. \ drunken Mex ican tried to interfere and was also landed on the wagon. Josie was next located in the adobe. and after a tire some wait while she completed her toilet she was handed up to q reserved seat beside the driver.
 Then the carryall was driven over to the Redlight lodging house. where the other two maidens were found and pre- pared for a night in jail. It is probably the first time the patrol wagon has had so big a load and most of them of the gentler sex. Their gentleness. though. did not seem to add great deal of re- finement to the circumstance.

HARVESTING KANAB WASH |
A Plan for Furnishing Electricity for
 the Territory.

Dr. A. J. Chandler is engaged in project for furnishing electric power and light to all the central and north ern part of the territory by harncssinS the waters Of kanab Wash, near it's junction with the Colorado about six ty miles from Williams. Dr. Chandler is now in Europe for the purpose of in- teresting European capitalists in the enterprise. He has had this project in mind for a long time, and those who have made study of it believe that it is entirely practicable. For years the matter of harnessing the Colorado it. self has been discussed, but so many difficulties presented themselves at the outset that the discussion never grew very serious. The most important difficulty, and one that seemed insur- mOuntable, was the varying volume of water in the canyon, making it appar- ently impossible to establish power machinery which would perform the service required at a low stage and withstand the flood of the high stage.
 There is no such difficulty in harnes sing the waters of Kanab Wash, whose flow is at the same time abundant and steady. The wash has no ether water
 shed but the Kanab plateau, which aboundS in the most wonderful springs in the west and it is from them that a constant stream is poured down into the Colorado. The plateau lies on the
 north bank of the Colorado and the wash cmpties into it almost opposite, though q little west of the Bright An gel trail. The waters of the wash do not run into the Colorado. but they are lit erally poured into it. for in a distance q little more than a mile the water has :; fall of 1000 feet. The plateau is 1000 feet higher than the bank on this side Of the river. IL is covered with trees and grass and is one of the few places in Arizona where there is plenty of moisture all the year round. There is said to be little change at any time of
 the year in the volume of water dis
 charged. There is enough. though, at all times to furnish power and ligh; for
 all of Arizona fl it can be transmit ted
 Ii has been estimated that. making allowance for the waste in transmits sion, enough power can be furnished to supply Prescott, Jerome. Phoenix and all other points along the route north of Phoenix. The canyon at the point
 where the wash enters the Colorado is about 3CG feet wide and the walls are
 more than prccipitGus. That is. they
 are narrower at the top than at the bed Of the river. SO that there would be very little difficulty in bridging the river at that point

PAINE'S Celery Compound Has Proved a Blessing to All Ranks and Conditions
 Of People in
 Summer.
A Prominent and Popular Chicago
 Lady Restored to Health.

The success of Paine Celery Com pound in banishing the ills and dis cases that follow people into the suln- niel time. has not been confined tC any particular class of society. Men esteemed in business and professional lie. mechanics. farmers women lead CTS in society, and the wives and moth CTS of humble homes, have all by voice and pen, contributed strong tcS- timony in favor of the medicine that restored them to health and stren<' tn.
 When Paine's Celery Compaund is dsed there is no more neuralgia, rEeu- Inatism, dyspepsia, stomach derange- ments, liver or kidney troubles. The blood once foul and stagnant. is made fresh and pure and courses with q regularity that brings vigor and hap piness The use of one bottle is .iten sufficient to establish health robust enough to combat the dangers and perils that are common in hot weather.

THE COUNTY WINS
In the Suit Against County Recorder
 McFall.

In the case of Maricopa county against County Recorder B. F. McFall judgment was rendered in district court for the plaintiff yesterday. This was suit to recover fees amounting to S2- C95-S9, less S25, which the defendant had paid out for postage. The amount sued for had been collected during the months of October. November. Decem- Der. January and February. The fees sued for were of a class not definitely specified in the statues as those which the recorder was required to turn over. to the county treasury, though the statutes do describe a long list of fees of which an accounting shall be made The defense relied on that para graph but the court in passing upon the case took that paragraph into consideration along with two others. one of which, in relation to the salaries of county offi- Clais, provides that they shall receive such compensation and no other" An other paragraph fixes the salary of county recorders in counties of the first class 1t 5000. The total amount of the fees collected by the office of the county recorder during the time
 
 of this amount $2,62S.10 was turned into the treasury.
 In other than first class counties re- Corders are paid partly by fees and party by salaries and in such cases the law states plainly that a part of the ices may be retained by the recorder The court believed that if the legisla- ture had designed that county recorders in the counties of the first class should receive any part of the fees it would have made that intention as plain as it had done in the cases of the other re- corders.
 The money retained by the defendant did not consist of fees for recording '' but for issuing certified instruments The court held that the expression. fees for recording" was q generic term intended by the legislature to cover all the receipts of the office
