THAT TEXAS SLAUGHTER
It Existed in the Lively Imagination
 of MT. Mcdonald.

The Republican yesterday morning population of this territory and the probable reduction of the democratic majority of Texas. A private telegram from $. J. Mcdonald stated that Huse Ward had been killed in fight, that Frank Criswell had killed several peo- pie. and that Cox and Connolly had sustained casualties. All this was re- ported to have happened in the vicinity of Valentine, Tex. than which there is no more likely spot for bloodshed and violence.
 This telegram was confirmed later by an Associated Press dispatch from Fl Paso, that hotbed of tragedies on paper The Republican telegraphed to the op- orator at Valentine that night but could get no reply.
 Still there seemed no reason to doubt the occurrence of the bloody event and the story was printed.
 Yesterday morning. though, The Re publican received a reply from Valen- tine saying that there was no truth in the story of the killing.
 HIS paper IS HOW cOIllpelleU to dpOlC- gize to it's readers and express it's re- gret that the relation was inaccurate. The business of a newspaper is a good deal like that of Q prospector who ire quently follows a promising lead until it pinches out in disappointment just like the story of the slaughter in Texas did
 It turns out that Mir. Mcdonald is either a ghastly joker or else that the receiver of his message of disaster failed to understand the meaning of the technical expression, "shot to pieces, which appeared in the dispatch.
 One who is ''shot to pieces" may be laboring under the effect of an extra ordinary jag. The same formula IS used to describe a gambler against whom luck has run to it's fullest ex- tent
 At any rate. the dispatch created a great deal of consternation among the friends of the Arizona cattlemen men tioned in it. Among those who were worried was Charles Goldman. His brother, Leo Goldman, is member of the party, and though his name did not appear among those of the dead and wounded, it was feared that he might be among the missing.
 The business in which all these gen tlemen went to Texas involved a S25. GOO cattle deal, which also seemed likely to have been swallowed up in the general catastrophe which did not occur.
 If anything bloody should happen to MT. Mcdonald and his associates, es- pecially MT. Mcdonald. it will be print ed and read with pleasure.

THE AMERICAN IRON PLATE.

The Englishman was being properly surprised at the rapidity with which tn: sky scraper was going up.
 "Deah mel" he exclaimed, "it seems as if your buildings grow as rapidly as your maize"
 Yes" replied the westerner, un- blushingly. and the process of raising them is much the same"
 "Fawncy. Won't you explain furth- er?"
 Well. you see, we just get an iron plant, put it in the ground, have the street sprinklers water it. and in a month or six weeks the sky scraper is full grown"

The Silver Dagger, a drama which has become very popular throughout the east, VIII be seen at the Doris theater next Friday, November 21.
 It is the fashion nowadays 10 use such glowing language in the descrip- tion of plays that to call the latest sue cess, "The Silver Dagger" tremen- abuse success seems trite and common place. Yet that is just what it is-a tremendous success, both from an ar tistic and a financial standpoint.
 It is a success which is deserved, for the play itself possesses merit of high order and an excellent cast interprets it, while the beautiful scenery and tasteful and appropriate costuming, leave nothing to be desired in the way of investiture.
 Of all the dramas recently produced by American playwrights, none possess a greater heart interest, a more subtle and logical plot. more startling and thrilling situations than "The Silver Dagger" and the writer has used only good material: not once has he de- soended to the commonplace or the tawdry.
 The play stands on the same plane as 'The Heart of Maryland" and "Sher- lock Holmes" and in many ways is superior to both these plays.
 On it's recent production in New York City, both press and public lavished unstinted praise upor it, and the house record for attendance was broken, s. R. O. being the rule at every perform ance.
 Ed J. Snyder. who for years handled Walker Whiteside and William Pascoe, the well known romantic actor, are the lucky possessors of this valuable prop erty. and it is under the direction of Al w. Cross, who personally directs the tour.
 The success of the piece since the opening has been emphatic, and whether the play goer prefers drama or comedy. this piece is sure to please him. Reserved seats at Goodman's drug store today at 10 a. m. Prices, 25c, soc, 75c and s1.00.

are divided by a screen into two sec tions. The seats of the forward com partments' are for whites and those of the rear compartments for negroes The practical effect was that on many cars the compartment for whites was damned, while the seats reserved for negroes were vacant. Some of the conductors would not allow the whites to enter the Jim Crow seats, while others let them do so, but insisted on their vacating the seats in case negroes entered requiring the room. It is easy to imagine how the proud southerner felt, rising to offer his seat to d son of Africa, and how the colored gentleman enjoyed the new order of things.

BELT WHEELS VICTIM
Employe of the Copper Queen Shelter
 Crushed to Death.

Yesterday morning at o'clock a bevy of excited working men were looking at an innocent appearing belt wheel on the main shaft which oper- 2tes the Copper Queen mud mill. The shaft and the wheel are still, but tattered jumper covered with blood. a pool of the red life fluid on the ground beneath the shaft, with now q fragment of human bone, bore mute testimony to the tragic affair.
 Sam Papovich, Slovenian, and a man of herculean build, had reached for an cil can with which to accelerate the action of his car. He was on fla niliar terms with the little shaft coup ling. He never stopped to consider that mechanical power and appliances are insensate agencies of progress but dead to reason and to sympathy. n an instant the slC-.e of his jumper Wcs caught. The unfortunate man was whirled around at the rate of 80 revolutions a minute, his legs came in contact with the superstructure with the result that when the ghastly sheet was turned up at an undertak- CTS parlors the mangled eXtremities were huddled in an indistinguishable heap. The man had also sustained vii tai injuries about the chest, and was dead when the machinery was stopped and the poor mangled body released from the deadly shaft. The deceased leaves a wife, three children and an aged mother, we know not where.
 Just to save Q little time he took the terrible chance that ended his life. He evidently did not appreciate the danger of the situation or he would rot have been numbered with the silent majority today. No one was to blame for the accident.-Bisbea Review

ginning yesterday morning tt 7 Q 'ClCck. t is said the programme includes rather a tame curtain raiser in the way of d few scattering rockets and that the programme increases in in- terest as the day approaches. Sunday mornings performance was undoubted- Iy cancelled, CT if it took place the company was so small it attracted no attention. The performance for this morning was billed for an hour so late it is impossible to give report of it in this issue. but whatever 1t amounted to. it has been so poorly ad- vertised that it is doubtful if many were out to enjoy it. Star Showers are one of the things the astronomers are yet quarreling over. They don't know exactly who is to blame for them. n0i exactly when they are going to occur.
 A local star gazer reports that the demonstration here is likely to be very ordinary on account of the moon, which at this time has the front of the stage and insists on being the whole thing When the moon is really in the cast it is hardly worth while for any other orb to attempt starring, even if the moons reputation is all reflected glory.
 The star shower here is announced to center around RegUlus, bright star in the constellation of Leo, directly eact of Phoenix, and straight up from the Tonto reservoir site. The astron- omers, in order to shield themselves from possible adverse criticism, an nouroe that if the meteors cannot be seen it is no sign they are not there, owing to the light of other heavenly bodies and the inaccurate data regard ing the earth's proximity tc the star stream

THE HIGH SCHOOL
Progress in Athle ties - The Basket
 Ball and Football Teams.

In the first match game of basket ball the High school on Saturday met and defeated the Indian school by a score of IS to 9. The Indians played with superior team work, but the swift, snappy, cool-headed play of the high school girls was too much for them to overcome.
 The high school team is composed of Bertha Lyle, captain; Marie Baker. Beatrice Williscraft. Estellc Osborn and Sallie Clark. They are all good individual players, and when they de- Velop better team work it will take a fine team to make a showing against them.
 Coach Killins is rapidly putting the football team into condition in prepar- ation for the game with the Indians on Thanksgiving day.

A COMMON ERROR
The Same Mistake Is Made by Many
 Phoenix People.
It's a common error.

To plaster the aching back.
 To rub with liniments rheumatic joints.
 When the trouble comes from the kidneys.
 Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney ills.
 And are endorsed by Phoenix citizens.
 J. A. Taylor, foreman of The Repu5- lican printing office, living at SO4 South First avenue, says: II was subject to kidney complaint for. six or seven years. Every time | contracted a cold it settled in my kidneys and the ach- ing was much more pronounced. When the spells were at their worst I could neither sit, stand nor lie with any com fort, and had to keep constantly chang ing position for the meagre assistance this makeshift gave. When standing all day at the desk the lame and aching back was a very unenViable companion, and when suffering with rather an acute attack, l noticed an advertise ment about Doans Kidney Pills and went to the Brisley Drug Co.'S store for a box. Now, if it had not brought about the results promised I positively aver I never would have bought a sec Ond, and if the second had not stopped the last attack I would be the last resi- dent of Phoenix to publicly endorse the preparation. I also used Doans Oint- ment for itchiness of the skin and found it as good for the purposes intended as Doan's Kidney Pills"

COL. FRANK c. HATCH
Returns to Ailzona for Health and
 Inspiration.

Colonel Frank Hatch arrived here yesterday from New York aIter rounda bout trip to various places, and will probably remain for several weeks. Colonel Hatch claims now to be a citi- zen of the great American metropolis, having made that his headquarters for several years. but he really belongs to Phoenix. Phoenix claims him by req son of his having been an old timer who was in the early days associated with some of ArizOna's biggest enter prises. and for the further reason that he was director general of PhOeniX's first carnival While he did not return this time expressly for thc carnival. it is noted that he is one of the men that always comes when Phoenix has carnival. He knows they are worth while.
 Mir Hatch. as one of the proprietors of the Hotel ROyaltOn. the largest home for single gentlemen in New York City, has a wide acquaintance and is recog- nized as one of the most genial bachel- ors on earth. The last year, however, has been one of new experiences for him and not pleasant ones either. He has made it rule of life to never be sick, notwithstanding his diet was not confined to patent medicines and health foods but the last summer put him between the sheets and under the care of the best nurses and doctors he could find. He was attacked by typhoid fever in July and taken back to his boyhood home in Vermont, where he was kept in bed for eight weeks. He made a good recovery. though, except that old NJ. Rheumatism caught him when he wasn't looking and they shipped him to Hot Springs, Ark. He improved rapidly, but is still bothered with it and hopes to wear it off in few weeks of AriZona's s wonderful winter climate. His summers illness robbed him of some of his adipose tissue, and the only complaint he makes of the Hot Springs is that the doctors there wouldn't let him eat the good things he thought he needed and had the money to buy. But he is still fat enough to be good natured, and spent the greater part of yesterday shaking hands with old friends.
 On his way here he visited Clifton, Morenci and La Cananea. He is as enthusiastic as ever over the great re- sources and enterprises of the south west. He says Cananea is the 'prettiesr mining camp in the world, and he has seen the most of them. The big mine is a marvel, and in his opinion it win be for a generation to come. He said yesterday: I'll take my hat off to Bill Greene"
 Morenci, he says, is also a pretty town and has some nice buildings. Among them is big department store that would attract attention even in New York, and one of the hotels there, though not large one, is complete in all appointments. In order to climb the hills on the town site one has to loop the loop" half a dozen times.
 Though his time is for the most part taken up with his hotel business. he still has other investments, and only for his illness would have made another trip to Central America the past sum- mer. He is still somewhat interested in Phoenix in a financial way and may be looked upon as a resident missionary in New York.

THE ROAD TO RUMBLE BEE
How It Kept Stretching Out Ahead of
 the Traveller.

John Lewis, better known as Fore paugh," came to town yesterday morn ing after an absence of six months in which he has been working on the Bradshaw railroad and in the Turkey Creek mining district. On his way to Phoenix he had an eventful journey. He was coming by the way of Rumble Bee. He had often been there but he had never gone over that particular road. When he got ready to start d man pointed out a mountain to him and told him that was Rumble Bee and that the distance was six miles. That was in the morning He traveleI until noon in the direction of the mountain and then met a man with whom he stopped to talk. The man gave him some minute directions re- garding the road to Rumble Bee, which he said was six miles Tn the middle of the afternoon Mir. Lewis got off the road, but not more than 200 yards, when he met another man who set him right.
 How far is it to Rumble Bee now 9" asked MT. Lewis.
 Six miles," was the reply.
 Early in the evening the weary traveller reached Rumble Bee ranch and the first thing he asked for was a drink "a drink of something strong and in vigorating, for MT. Lewis is an advo- cate of the canteen. The ranch had gone dry since MT. Lewis had been there before. There was water in the well and some in an olla. Mir. Lewis could take his choice. With him water is water and it is all bad.

ANOTHER STAR SHOWER
Things That Ought to Be Seen in the

Two years ago about this season of the year the astronomers announced that the world would witness beauti- ful meteoTic shower. It failed to ap- pear as scheduled, at least in these parts, so when the same announce ment was made last year Phoenix took little interest in it and naturally the bis show was pulled off to a very small but appreciative audience.
