 THE COUNTRY REJUVENATED.- | Reports from all sec tions of the terri | tory show that rain storms have been | general for the past week The rain in the valley was somewhat streaked. In some places the down pour was | heavy. and in other spots it hardly sprinkled enough to lay the dust. There has been an appreciable rise in the | river the past two days as result of i the rains in the mountains. and while there is hardly sufficient water to give all the canals Il full head enough is 1 flowing through the water courses to relieve the situation somewhat.
 LAST APPEARANCE.-The Curtiss Comedy company closes q successful engagement at the park next Wednes- day night. and will leave Thursday night for Dennison, Texas. to play three weeks engagement there. The company will be replaced at the park by MT. Curtiss' other company. which has been appearing Fl Paso during the summer months.

 RETURNED FROM VACATION.- Frank Turner returned yesterday morning f,om q vacation on the coast He spent most of his time fishing. and caught among other monsters of the deep rock bass which feighed nenety- five pounds. and which nearly pulled him into the sea, notwithstanding the fact that he cannot swim lick on
  feet long. as nearly as he could judge with the naked eye. but just as the boat was about to make landing it got off the line MT. Stewart. his friend. said that was a great pity. The stingaree would have been of great interest to the sci entif1c world, by reason of the fact that God had never before made fish of that kind bigger than a mans hand. Taking it altogether MT. Turner does not like deep sea fishing as well as angling for cat fish on the banks oS the Wabash. where he first practiced the gentle art.

 tion of eXpelling Adams was taken up. It was generally conceded that Adams was not an ornament to anything out side of prison walls. and that the or der would be greatly benefited if his name was stricken from the rolls. It was SO ordered by resolution. The sec retary of the lodge called cn Adams and read the resolutions. He was given good cussing by Adams who swore that as soon as he got out of jail h. would make it his business to expose the secret workings of the order Adams has been great admirer of Tracy the outlaw. and followed the ca reer of the convict from the time he made his escape from the penitentiary at Salem until the day of his tragic death. He was very much disap- pointed that Tracy did not live.

The method adopted to smuggle the Mong0- Hans across the line is novel. but the government will soon put a stop to it. Old fashioned prairie schooners, such as were used in all parts of the west before the advent of railroads. are now being used to haul Chinamen from their rendezvous in Mexico to points in Arizona. These schconers. loaded to the guards with grinning heather. sneak in and pass the government line riders unnoticed.
