THE FUN COMMENCES
The Southwest Carnival Company Arrives With Its Aggrega-
 ton of Shows.
Wild Animals Galore and Attrac tions of All Kinds - Streets
 Dotted With Tented Shows.

The much advertised carnival com pany arrived in Prescott last evening at 5.30 o'clock, from Phenix, on a special train consisting of sixteen cars. As a consequence-ef its arrival the streets have presented very lively appearance today. A small army of workmen have been engaged in pitching tents, building booths and making general preparations for the fun which is to continue for a week.
 Contrary to expectations on Sstur- day. when storm seemed imminent, a north wind set in Saturday evening which sent the gathering clouds skurrying, the temperature falling several degrees and the weather turn ing clear but quite chilly.
 The company however is better able to withstand the cold than to attempt to do business in a storm. large number of wagons contain ing wild animals form goodly DOT ,iJn f !'p outfit of the aggregation of shows, and everything points to an interesting programme during the week.
 The company has secured most tlattering notices from the press in the towns in which it has appeared, and as the lodge of Eagles in Pres colt have spared neither pains or ex- pense to make the arrangements per feet foI a weeks amusement here, they will no doubt give satisfaction if the weather continues favora ble.
 The real opening of the carnival will take place this evening at 7 o'clock.

CARNIVAL OPENED.
A Formidable ArraysOf Attractions Surround the Plaza in Tents
 and Booths.
The Big Dive Attracted Thousands of Spectators and Was Sue
 cessfuIIy Made.

The carnival was O; ened according to announcement at ' o'clock last evening. It was preceded by pro- cession of Eagles from their lodge room around the plaza, escorted by a band of music, while the members of the order carried torches and kept up a discharge of rockets. At dark the plaza presented a brilliant appear ance from the numerous electric it. luminations surrounding it, the chief attraction being the ladder on the southwest corner of the plaza, from which the high dive took place. This ladder from distance looked a veri- table pillar of fire.
 The various exhibition tents had also liberal display of electric lights to guide the seeker after pleas ure to their inner circles.
 The formal opening of the carnival was duly announced in front of the stadium On the west side of the plaza 1 by Director General Wilsev in a brief address in which ne thanked the city council and others for cour tesies extended.
 About 730 o'clock the word was passed from tent to tent that 'the high dive would now take place" while a man mounted on a camel marched around the street proclaim ing the fact also.
 The result was that thousands of men, women and childran soon con gregated in that locality to witness the daring and hazardous feat. The ladder from winch the high dive is made is ninety feet high. The dar ing and intrepid diver mounted the ladder and proceeded to the edge of a platform extending from it's top. With his toes on the platform and his heels extending over it he poised for a brief period, then gently swung backwards. In making the descent he turned over about three times, landing on his back into the four-foot ROOl Oi WdtfI DcuCdt4. uC duQlCuCc remained in breathless silence while the feat was being performed. While it has been performed hundreds of times, it is dangerous feat.
 A miniature Ferris wheel on the northwest corner of the plaza is one of the attractions and one which will no doubt prove popular and divide honors, in its fascination of the younger people particularly with the cage of wild animals.
 The attractions are varied and numerous and will occupy ones time two or three evenings to visit them all.
 The crowning of the queen will take place tomorrow forenoon at II o'clock. The Eagles will visit the house of the young lady in a body and will escort her to the platform on the plaza, where the crowning will take place.
 The programme for the balance of the day will be as usual. The drill ing contest will commence on Thurs day morning.

What's In a Name.

Everything is in the name when it comes to Witch Hazel Salve. E. c. Dewitt & Co. of Chicago discovered some years ago how to make salve from witch hazel that is a specific for piles. For blind, bleeding, itching and protruding piles, eczema, cuts, burns, bruises and all skin diseases DeWitt's salve has no equal. This has given rise to numerous worthless counterfeits.
