The Chamber of Commerce is still
awaiting lists of names from those in
terested in the proper distribution of
the pamphlets containing the beautiful
cuts and excellent article by Hon.
Rochester Ford descriptive of Tucson
and vicinity. AS has been said be-
fore, this is far-reaching class of ad-
vertising, and if distributed intRlli-
gently will result in untold benefits tor
the old pueblo. The board will also
send ont one OF these pamphlets to
every newspaper i'll the Territory.
The small circulars, containing more
details on the resources of this vic1n-
ity will be issued by the board in
few days, and will be ready for dis
tribution.
If the A. O. U. W. ball tossers ex-
pect to be in it at all, they will have
to get up before daylight, because the
manager of the Elks is up every
morning with the sun, training his
fawns. 1t is getting to be familiar
scene on Messilla street every morning
to see Vic. Hanny teaching Gabe Camp
bell how to hold his hands when he
sees ball coming his way. The pu-
pill is very apt, and is now said to be
able to catch about three out of ten.
Practice makes perfect, however, and
the manager is determined to succeed.
A we'll known A. o. U. w. got up un-
usually early the other morning and
naturally began to pry into the prac-
tice. He got out field glass and
rule with the intention of measuring
one of Hanny's curves, but the rule
was not fine enough, so the job was
given up. The rivalry between the
two orders has reached a stage where
the odds on the game is beginning to
be momentous question.
The A. o. U. w. will meet tonight in
their hall A big smoker and feast
are on the program after the business
meeting. One candidate will be put
through the mill.
The Tucson aerie of Eagles meet IN
Odd Fellows hall tonight.
The funeral of the late DR.. Pool oc-
| Cured at o'clock this afternoon.
Religious services were conducted at
the NJ e. church by the Rev. T. G..
Moffett, the organist and choir OF the
Presbyterian church furnishing appro-
pirate music. The burial was under
the auspices of the Masonic order.
The Presbyterian church will hold
service preparatory to the COM
munion tomorrow evening at 1880
O'Clock, in Odd Fellows hall. A
business meeting for the election Of
officers and other matters of import
ance will follow the service. All

The city recorder heard one John
Doe case this morning. The prisoner
had been on an awful tear, but his
plea touched the judges heart and he
was discharged.
R. G.. Brady has withdrawn from the
race for supervisor His many friends
regret to see him take this action, but
Mr.. Brady says that he does it merely
for the good of the party. Mr. Brady
deserves. great credit for his loyalty
to the party, and his action should not
be forgotten.
1t was learned definitely that the
construction work on the Santa Rita
hotel would begin October 10. This
is certainly most welcome news to the
community in general. H. G. frost,
we'll known architect, returned from
Los Angeles this morning. He SUBJ
mitted the final plans to r. III. Rafael,
and they were entirely satisfactory to
the builder of the big hotel. In fact,
he was SO well satisfied that he or
dered the construction to proceed as
soon as possible. The foreman of the
work is daily expected to arrive. O.
Monier has the brick contract, and
the iron work has been ordered. The
Santa Rita, after all, will be a reality
on the appointed date.
A most disastrous accident was mar
evening. A party of young men and
women who left the city on a moon
light drive to the mission, came very
near being seriously injured at the
site of the old bridge. 1t will be re-
membered that the recent rise of the
Santa Cruz washed away the structure.
No lights or other means have been
employed to warn travellers off the
road, and people run up on the abut-
ments before they are aware OF the
danger. The neglect seems inexcus-
able and the board of supervisors
should look into it.
Councilman Russell has not dropped
his pet idea" of municipal ownership
of the electric light and gas plant. He
served notice on the council last even
ing that he was sending out a circular
letter to all cities operating such
plants, and was requesting them to
answer a certain number Of important
questions relative to the business.
| Councilman Russell says there are 283
cities operating their own plants in the
country, and he will in time have some
valuable information for the council
The sheriff's office has been more
than busy for the past two days, pre-
pairing for the October term of court.
