In Honor of Mss Fisher.

No prettier or more deserving event socially has ever taken place in Prescott than that of last Fri day evening. It was a compli- mentary dance to Miss Olive Fisher, rendered her on the eve of her departure from relatives and friends to visit relatives in Vic toria, British Columbia. To make the event a memorable one and to impress this charming little lady with the universal regard and the admiration cherished for her in all circles, nothing was permitted to be overlooked. Dougherty's spa cious hall was secured for the oc- casion. while Mrs. Smiths excel lent orchestra furnished the music.
 The hall was elegantly and taste fully decorated in pink, while in the cozy corners there was pro fusion of flowers and the yarie- gated cUlors of the Navajo Indian blanket. The scene was indeed a fascinating one, but no more so than it deserved. Dancing began at g o'clock and at 1 the guests de- parted. Refreshments were served early and it is useless to state that they were in keeping with the per feet arrangement of the event. Very many of our we'll known resi- dents were present, a partial list of whom are: Mir. and Mrs. F. NJ. Murphy, MT. and Mrs. Hugo Rich ards, Mir. and Mrs. J. c. Herndon, MT. and Mrs. J. J. Hawkins, MT. and Mrs. R. H. Burmister, MT. and Mrs. J. c. Martin, Captain and Mrs. Hatch, Lieutenant and Mrs. Dillingham;, Doctor and Mrs. Wat kins, Lieutenant Potts, Mrs. Kautz, MT. and Mrs. H. D.

GENERAL FUNSTON
 IS EN ROUTE
He Leaves Denver Tonight and Will Reach WhippIe on
 Wednesday.

Telegrams were received todny al
 Fort Whipple and also by parties in
 Prescott, stating that General Fun
 ston and staff would leave Denver to-
 night en route to Fort Whipple. Pro viding no stops are made these mill tary people should reach Prescott on
 Wednesday evening at about 7:3O o'clock. The general comes to make a thorough examination of the post, and is accompanied by board of survey, engineers and other officers of headquarters of the department. He will remain for at least a week, and it is stated that the rebuilding and re- modelling of the post will immedi- ately follow his instructions and examination, his trip being for this definite purpose, A delegation of Prescott people will leave for the Sante Fe on Wednesday morning in special train to formally welcome the general, and he will undoubtedly accept the greetings of our people by remaining their guest during his short visit. He is a gallant officer and it should be a genuine pleasure for Prescott to entertain such dis American.

WILL FIGHT SMITH.

Reports of a reliable nature come
 from southern Arizona political chan nels that democracy has a fayorite son to reward, and at the right time a new candidate for congressional honors will be placed before the peo- pie of that faith. It is c. M. Shan non, of Graham county. While Mir. Shannon is not open or expressed in his candidacy, the belief is we'll sustained, nevertheless, that he will "buck up" against Mark Smith in the convention. To the Bulletin editor, he said:
 ''I consider the newspaper ex- pressions concerning my candidacy as premature now; said he had re- eeived several nice letters from diff ferent parts of the territory, and that friends in Tucson, Phoenix and Pres colt had written asking him to make the race. MT. Shannon says he is not a candidate and would not enter into a contest for the nomination, but should the party decide that he was the most available man he would not be unappreciative of the honor and would accept it"

CONCERNING FORT WHIPPLE.
What May Reasonably Be Expected
 SOOn--New Troops, Etc.

A dispatch in the Phenix Republi-
 can of the 18th says: After con-
 siderable delay the necessary water
 connections are nearing completion
 at Whipple barracks, and within a
 day or two the annoyance to which
 the post has been subjected by req
 son of the absence of the connection
 will be at an end. Washington ad-
 vices state that immediately after the
 beginning of the fiscal year, the sec
 retary of war will begin the expendi- ture necessary for the rebuilding of the post. It is understood that the first expenditure will amount to about Sl0O,000, and that by the time the post has been made fully ser viceable for four companies, accord ing to the programme, a quarter of a
 million will have been expended.
 To the above might have been ad ded according to general military re- ports and authentic sources that the company of the 18th infantry at pre- sent stationed there, will be trans ferred to Fort Logan, and the regi- ment it is of will be recruited to its maximum war footing. In the Cuba campaign this notable regiment lost more men than any similar organiZa- tion, with the result that it's ranks in number have been far below the ser vice called for. The company at Whipple is but half filled, and many men in addition to its present strength will soon be discharged. It is also stated that the band and four companies of the Ninth Infantry, en route from the Philippines, will be immediately sent to Fort Whipple. This regiment is the one that figured so prominently and heroically in the Chinese campaign, losing its colonel and many men, and giving our military service a worldwide ad miration. Later in the Philippines this same regiment lost an entire company by ambuscade from the treachery of the Filipinos. The | Ninth was stationed at Whipple for | several years and was succeeded by | the Eleventh, when, in 1898, the | of war took away the | latter. If the Ninth is to be again stationed at Whipple, it will receive l hearty welcome from civilian sour res, and no doubt there will be among them many familiar faces.

MUZZLlNG THE WEST.

The New York Herald, never very cordial in its friendship to the terri tories, now expresses its belief that the senate will shelve the statehood bill for the time. The Herald was mistaken in its predictions as to the action of the house and it is just pos sible that it may be mistaken again. It says:
 ''So far as the house could accom- plish it three new stars were added to the flag, and the territories of Okla homa, Arizona and New Mexica were admitted to statehood.
 "But there is another story to the legislation. Republicans of the sen ate will allow the bill to sleep in con- mittee at the other end of the capitol until after next falls congressional elections. Then, if the three terri tories, in their election of delegates, show indications of remaining good and strongly republican, the senate will take up the bill and pass it. There is great fear, however, that the increase in population contains the elements of democracy, and unless the republican majority is large enough to be absolutely safe the ter ritories will not be admitted by the senate. The people of. the terri tories are very anxious for statehood, and if voting the republican ticket will bring them their wish they will probably do it next fall.

TROUBLE DOWN SOUTH.
The C0bre Grande Has Other
 Things to Look After.

There is much excitement among the Mexican custom officials, and hurried orders have been issued tc line riders and rurales to concedtrate at Naco, writes a correspondent from Nogales.
 It is reported here that 800 rifles have been seized near Naco by the Mexican officials. It is charged that these arms were being smuggled into Mexico from the United States by the Greene Consolidated Copper con- pany. It is also reported that this is not the only assignment of arms that has been carried across the border clandestinely during the past few months, and there are suspicious that there are several thousand stands of arms on the American side of the line, awaiting opportunity to be smuggled across.
 The object of the Greene interests in providing such an armament is a matter of surmise. There is a good deal of wild talk about anticipated trouble with laborers at the mines, and there are reports of expected war fare over coal fields in central and western Sonora, and rumors of agra rian troubles among squatters on large tracts of land recently pur- chased by Mir. Greene.

A SALOON ON EVERY TREE TOP
The ExPhilippine Soldier Tells of a aWonderful Country Where
 Beer Grows Wild.

"Was there any beer or booze ovel there," asked the rosebud -nosed mar on the soap box of the returned sol dier from the Philippines, Cor were you confined strictly to the bootlee coffee and water cure all the timel"
 Beer! exclaimed the ex soldier ''Why there was saloon on top ot every other tree in the country'
 "What? Come out of the trance, piped in the always thirsty bronzed neck prospector who was holding down an empty beer case behind the ice-cold stove and unconsciously rub ping the scant nickel of the stove fender with his hobnailed No. Ills.
 "It's a fact" replied the ex-soldier Haven't any of you ever heard of tuba ?"
 "No? That funny We'll, tuba is a very common drink over there aud we always had plenty of it at hand only for little climbin; or when We didn't feel like climbing and Flip pino was handy we would make him do the climbing, provided no officers were near"
 What would you have to climbi" broke in Rosebud.
 "A tree of course," was the answer.
 Well, boys" says Bronzed Neck, ''let's go over on the plaza and begin climbing"
 You'll have to find a cocoanut tree first" the ex-Filippino advises, 'and then you'll be all right. Yo see it's this way. As soon as the cocoa nut bud is about to bloom, the Flip pino chops it of with bolo so that most of the stem is left. Then they take hollow bamboo with wooden hook tied on and hang it to the stem so that it will catch all the sap that oozes out. The sap caught in the bamboo quickly ferments and is then known and drank as tuba, although it tastes and looks much better if it is clarified a little"
 ''How is it, good7" asks Rosebud.
 ''Finest in the world when there is nothing else to be had," replies the ex-Filippino.a
 Does it taste and smell like the genuine article?" queries the agitated Bronzed Neck, hoping that cocoanut groves wlil sprout up over night in the HassaYampa dales.
 Oh, the smell is not agreeable at first" continues the ex-Filippino, land reminded me very forcibly, in the be- ginning, of a disordered stomach, but ths taste is all right and somewhat similar to the old fashioned Connec- ticut hard cider"
 When I'm broke, fellows, and looking hard for drink" says Rose bud, T might be tempted to enlist for the islands where beer grows wild but as I'm net quite in that pre- dicament yet, let's all go over on Whiskey row and have a 'mucha grande bamboo of booze"

YAVAPAI DEMOCRATS.
An Early Feeler From the Gibraltar
 of tbe Unterrified.

A correspondent of the Jerome Re
 porter at Camp Verde sounds the opening of the political campaign in -Clark--Yavapai county, with a lengthy communication, from which the following of interest is taken:
 Realizing that it takes no longer to set up news from this part of the Lords vineyard than it does that coming from Prescott and other hos tile territory, we venture few obser- vations that are good if they happen to agree with your reader, and if they don't agree, just attribute them to the partiality of an old Democrat who has grown gray in the service of his party.
 There is no dirth of prospective candidates tor as they say in Jerome and Prescott 'in the hands of the friends.D In the valley ex-Recorder Johnson thinks he would make an ideal supervisor. Mir. Wood is also mentioned-both are good solid men of affairs and straight as a string, politically.
 "Will or Fred Stevens would either suit us for the legislature The val ley must have member of the next legislature is humiliating to have to acknowledge that we owe the only. defense this county made against proposed water legislation to a repub- lican, Tom Campbell. The Stevens boys are in sympathy with our farm ing interests. J. F. Dwyer, the Jer- ome milk man, is spoken of-and Jack, too, has an interest in water. But he won't have an office.
 Supervisor Dumas has enough of it and says he does not want a third 
 ''For sheriff, there is nothing cer- tain. Chas. Hooker will have a strong following if he goes into the race backed by Jerome. Mike Hickey has many friends here es- pecially among old settlers. He has held office quite spell, I'll admit, but if 1 am not very much mistaken he is one of the strongest quantities in the contest. Farley, Jolly, Hicks and Storm are certain of another nomination.
 Pat O'Sullivan appears to have the pull for district attorney.
 "Well, we have had quite a say for a little place like this, but come to think of it we are not so small after ill-there are only two precincts in the county that will have a larger than Camp Verde, Prescott and Jerome"
