IOWA COAL NEAR TOP.
It Beats Alabama and illinois Soft
Coal.


Coal.
Ames, March 6.-During the past
year the department of mechanical
engineering has determined the heat
making power OF samples of coal from
twenty-one different mines in Iowa
representing all Of the important mil.
ing districts. The average of all
samples tested shows Iowa coal to
have q heat making value of approx.
mately 1900 heat units "a heat unit
is the amount of heat to raise the TEN.
perature Of one pound of water one
degree). The maximum and minimum
results were 1920 and $3.50 heat units
respectively. Concurrent tests of an
thracite coal gave 1880, of foundry
coke 1880 and of Beaumont crude oil
10000.
Chemical tests on Iowa and compel.
ing soft coal show that Iowa coal is
higher in combustible material than
Illinois and Alabama Goals and but
little lower than Ohio, Pennsylvania
and West Virginia Goals. Some Iowa
Goals are high in sulphur and others
are high in ash, which facts account
for difficulties experienced In using
them for domestic and steam making
purposes.
Actual use of Iowa Goals under boil
ers for steam making shows that the
cost of fuel for producing 1000 pounds
of steam ranges from Is cents with
slack at $1.45 to Is cents with lump
coal costing S2.95 per ton.

A WONDERFUL WHITE DOVE
Which Phoenix Crack Shots Were I'm.
able to Kill.

DR.. j. L. Hamilton, P A TnaraldSon
and w. y. Milton returned on Satur-
day evening from hunt in a suDersti-
tious frame of mind. They had been
shooting doves northwest of the city.
About four miless north of Alhambra
they separated and when they came
together again they had a story to
tell OF a wonderful white dove. DR..
Hamilton was the first one that spoke
of it. He said he was within q dozen
feet of the bird before he saw It. 1t
did not fly away at once and he stood
watching it. 1t never occurred to him
that he had a gun. The dove hoped
around On the ground awhile, then
made short flights around him and
finally circling in the air over his head
all the time within easy range it flew
away.
Both Messrs. Milton and Tharaldson
had seen the bird under much the same
circumstances and they too had for
gotten that they were on n bird shoot
ing expedition. The thing seemed so
wonderful that each member of the
party would have believed himself to
be the victim Of an ocular Illusion if
what he had seen had not been seen
by all the rest of the party. They re-
solved TO get the bird and separa ting
again they went in search of it. 1t was
not hard to find but this time they
could not get within ElC0ting distance.
They tried several ineffectual shots.
There was a funny thing about it.
Though they were at least half mile
apart they We're shooting simultaneous
ly and all of them at white dove.
They swore that at that particular
time they saw nothing else to shoot
at. They believe now that notwith-
standing their distance from each
other, they were shooting a the same
bird for none of them at any time saw
more than one bird. They reason that
if there had been three of them with
in the radius in which they were shoot
ing some of the party must at one time
fave seen more than one.
The most wonderful thing happened
however. just before they left the
neighborhood. They had come together
again and were on their way to the
place where they had left their We
hicle. Suddenly the white dove ap-
peared on the ground not twenty feet
from them. 1t rose and flew back and
forth Mr.. Milton raised his gun to
fire but his companions begged him
rot to fire at that distance: he would
blow the bird to pieces. The warming
was too late or it would have been
too late if it had been needed When
the smoke cleared away the bird was
hopping unframed on the ground.
Both DR.. Hamilton and Mr. TharaId-
son fired at it with like result. Still the
bird did not Immediately fly away.
The hunters did not shoot any more
but they walked toward the dove
which let them approach within half
dozen feet of it when it flew a short
distance. chirping meanwhile unlike
any dove they had ever heard
Speaking of the adventure night be-
fore last the gentlemen said they we-e
not sure that it was bird in the flesh
at all.

NORMAL DoRM1TORY GIRLS
Gave a Reception to the Seniors satur
day Night.

The twenty-five young ladies of the
Tempe Normal school dormitory gave
reception to the senior class Saturday
evening. 1t proved to be the school
event of the year. Fully one hundred
were present to enjoy the hospitality
OF the ''dormitory girls who, with the
aid of the preceptress, Miss thinner
man, made the evening one of the mer-
riest in the history of the social gale
ties of the Tempe Normal school. With
twenty-five hostesses, all graced with
exceptional qualities as entertainers, it
is not to be wondered at that those
present SO thoroughly enjoyed them
selves that they unanimously expressed
themselves as having had 1.-The bes,
time of their life
The reception rooms halls and stair
ways were most beautifully decorated
with palms, boughs and a profusion OF
flowers. Everywhere the pink colors or
the graduating class predominated.. In
the entrance hallway over an arch of
date palm leaves 1903" was worked
with pepper twigs on a pink back
ground. This never failed to elicit
flattering comment from the guests As
lney eNteTtt-
Among the guests besides the faculty
the senior class and the close friends
of the students there were present Mrs.
George n. Gage, DR.. Charles H. Jones
and wife and Judge n. A. Layton. The
girls kept things moving rapidly, and
no one was lonesome for a second, not
withstanding the fact that there We're
so many present. Many new social
contests and games were successfully
introduced. Music in the upper recep-
ton halls was a nice part of the en-
joyment At II o'clock ice cream, sher-
bets and cakes We're served. Dainty
souvenir napkins were given each one
and the eleventh hour was certainly
one of good cheer After the refresh
ments had been served the upper halls
and corridors We're made to ring with
merry shout and laughter. Many toasts
were given and class yells were In
dulged in. 1t was with weary tongues
but hearts full of joy and gladness that
the guests bid the reception committee
good night and with tremendous shouts
voted the "dormitory girls" the best
entertainers on earth.

RETURN OF BAREGE AND PoPL1N

The novelty of the season is the re-
turn of two old fashioned favorites.
Irish poplin and barege are both in
first favor this year.
They are made up into blouse suits
and into the jacket suits that have the
loose. short little coats cut off three
inches above waist showing full droop-
ing blouse of batiste or nainsook. OF
course. blouses of heavy linen should
never be worn under this cut of coat
The most popular gowns of it arr
made up in blue, either a light shade or
Mazarin- If you remember it has a
soft, silky surface, with an irregular
splash across it, raised up like welt
1t also comes entirely plain, but in all
weaves it has the clinging drapery eff
feet so much desired this year.
1t will be preferred to mohair, and
will be quite as cool, although the mo-
hair is used when its weaves are es-
pecially silky and fine.
Gowns of it are trimmed with silk
cord ornaments and tassels and a num-
Der of large tucks.

HE HAD A LOAD
But Not of the Kind Commonly Called
alag.

Harry Simpson, the cab driver. had q
couple of passengers yesterday morning
who must have thought that he was
erica. In the course of the night a
stranger told him he was expecting a
lady to arrive on the train from the
north and he engaged Mr.. Simpson in
case she came to take him and her
from the depot to a restaurant and
thence to a number he gave.
Mr. Simpson was at the depot a lit
tie before train time and saw there the
man with whom he had been talking.
The man was not quite sure that the
woman would come. Mr.. Simpson saw
nothing more of him after the arrival
of the train and nobody else applying
FOR transportation. he drove back to
town and resumed his place at his
stand in front of Hans Herlicks. He
had been there from twenty minutes
to half an hour when +. w. Thode call
cd to him from across the street say
ing that he wanted TO be taken home.
Mr.. Simpson drove across and as Mr..
Thode was about to enter the cab he
saw man and a woman in it.
Hello" he exclaimed, you've got a
load
Mr.. Simpson looked over the side and
sure enough he had. The woman had
come and the man thinking that he ha d
made all the preliminary arrangements
for transportation got into the cab
without saying anything more to the
driver. When Mr.. Simpson stopped at
his stand the man thought he knew
what he was about and would prob
ably sc on to the restaurant at the
pro2er time. Then he and the woman
went to sleep.

VICTOR EMMANUEL's cooNEss.

King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, in
spite of his diminutive stature, which
often makes him the butt of his enc

dauntless courage and iron nerves. A
few years ago while holding the rank
of colonel in regiment of artillery he
was intrusted with the testing of new
cannon that the army was then eXper-
imenting with. He proceeded to the
trial field accompanied by several Of
ficers of rank and the inventor, AMI
after short explanation of the rela-
tive points of the gun, an order was
given to aim at the target. At the first
shot the huge engine of destruction ex-

crash, and the panic STRICKEN men

OSGOOD KELLNER DEAD
Fell Down the Shaft of the Old Domin-
ion Mine.

OSgood Kellner, stepson of w. ..
Kellner, formerly postmaster at Globe,
fell down the Old Dominion shaft from
the ninth level last Monday and was
killed. He was born in Phoenix twenty
years ago, though most of his life has
been spent in Globe. He was married
a short time ago. OF the accident the
Globe Silver Belt says:
The exact circumstances of the acct
dent will never be known, as there
was no one present when it occurred.
The evidence before the coroner's jury
clearly shows that the death of young
Kellner was accidental. 1t appears
that he was and had been cage ten
der in the main shaft, and had gone
on night shift at half-past that
evening, but was changed to the
north cage from the south cage. where
he had previously been working. He
had gone down to the ninth level fer
three buckets of water, which was one
of his usual duties. What he did after
he left the cage can only be conjec-
tured.
Later on. F. R. Dixon, timberman.
came to the shaft on that level anc
found the cage stopped in the south
compartment and saw two buckets full
of water standing at the north com-
partment. The bar to the entrance 81
the shaft was in place, but Dixon could
see no one about. Upon further inves-
tigation he found another bucket on its
side on the opposite side of the shaft,
and at once concluded that the cage
tender had mistaken his compartment
and had walked into the empty shaft
He then gave the alarm
THE cage was lowered to the water
at the bottom of the shaft, distance
of about 800 feet from the ninth level,
where conclusive evidence appeared OF
Kellner's having gone to the bottom of
the stump, in which there was about
forty feet of water. Graphing hooks
were employed and the body was
brought up at the first effort in a hor-
ribly mangled and mutilated condition.
The skull above the eyes was gone. the
nose and both legs broken, besides
other mutations

Three Classes OF Citizens

There are three kinds Of citizens
in every town. Those who have
big philanthropic hearts, work for
the good of the town and spend
money for 1t whether they are d.
rectly benefited or not. Then
there are those who work for a
town but expect to be benefited
personally for all money or work
expended. Then there is the third
class that never contributes a cent
in cash or work towards the public
welfare, but reaps the benefit Of
the labor and cash Of his more
progressive neighbors, The last
named may get to be called sue
