 A HELPMEET FOR CERTAIN Hon. Robert E. Morrison has the en- couragement and active aid of Mrs. Morrison in his campaign. She orig
 mated a souvenir of the campaign which is attracting great deal of fa- vorable attention. It is a small metal rake attached by means of a blue rib
 bon to a card on which is printed in structions to rake in" votes for MT. Morrison. The supply of small rakes has been exhausted, but q small spade has been substituted. and is after all still more appropriate. for the spade is an instrument for the digging up" of votes.
 SOMETHING OF A PROPHET.-I: will be remembered that MT. Morrison in his speech of Wednesday night pre- dicted the settlement of the coal strike before the end of the week. The pro- phecy was fulfilled before sun up of the next morning and his reputation as prophet was established. It may ba uncomforting to the democrats to learn that Mir Morrison has with as great confidence been predicting his own cleo ton, so that those misguided persons who are trying to elect Colonel Wilson are flying in the face of providence. fighting against the fates for all of which they will be properly punished early next month.
 TEETERS- S-BONHAM.-The wedding of David S. Teeters and Miss Emily Bonham was celebrated in Phoenix yes terday afternoon at o'clock. Judge J.

L. Bonham and is a native of California, where she grew to woman hood. The groom is a native of Kan sas. and is at present engaged in the butcher business in Tempe. He has been in the valley for eight years, re- siding most of the time at Tempe. where he is we'll known and trusted by all.
 THE ECLIPSE@Owing to the vari- GUS kinds of time in this town and the careless reading of bulletins, the pub lie generally was badly mixed up last night regarding just when the lunar | eclipse was due to arrlNe- MaHy | thought it would be seen early in the | evening. and as the hours rolled by | and there was nothing doing, they be- | gan to fear the moon had got on the | wrcng course and was lodging the | shadow. But fifteen minutes before | D. local time the show began. The l shadow on the disc began on the south | west corner, assuming the moon to be | a Rand McNally map. or rather at the | lower left hand corner, and worked | over tho face of the old man who lives | there toward the upper right hand side | until the eclipse became total. This ! occurred at about 9:50 o'clock. In the evening previous to the eclipse the whole eastern sky was as clear as a Christians conscience. not cloud to be seen anywhere. Only the moon sharps could tell where the shadow was coming from, and they did it from figures and not from what they saw A petition will be circulated to have the city council dock the electric light company one hour for. not lighting the streets last night, as this moon is the same one dealt with in the Philadelphia moonlight schedule.
