IDENTIFIED AT LAST
The Man Killed by An M. 6 P. Train
 on Thursday.

The name of the man who was killed by a Phoenix & Maricopa train on Thursday morning was learned yester- day. At least letter which had been overlooked the day before was found and it was presumably addressed to him by his brother who lives at Met cali
 The letter was sent from that place on February and is as follows:
 Dear Brother: 1 shall have much pleasure if on receiving these few lines they find you enjoying good health in the union with your friends, since that which l enjoy is good, thank God
 Dear brother today I received your letter of the date of the 3Gth of the past month touching the money that you asked me to lend I cannot aid you this time because I am very short of means and have scarcely three days work which you will consider for this time. I have never deried you as you know. All our friends wish to be remembered to you.
 The letter is signed by Rafael Mu rillo, whom Pedro G. de Ia Lama knows well. MT. de la Lama said that Murillo is still at Metcalf, but he has a friend living at Clifton by the name of Chavez A telegram was sent to Chavez yesterday informing him of the death of his friend and asking him to telephone him at Metcalf inquirins what disposition shall be made of the remains.
 The inquest on the body of the dead man begun the day before was resum- ed and concluded yesterday afternoon. Though it is pretty well established who he was the jury thought it better to leave the matter of identity open until word can be received from Met calf. It was found that the dead man had come to his death by being acci- dentally struck by a train. The ques- tion of responsibility was not touched upon.

HOW TO KEEP SCHOOL
And What One Phoenix School Is
 Doing for Itself,

It is a welI-esta blished fact that q great many things in this world are worth just exactly what they are valued ct by their possessors. There is a whole lot of intrinsic value some- times in self-assumed dignity. This idea was illustrated yesterday in the East seventh grade of the Central school
 For some time past the pupils of this room have been raising a little fund for the purpose of securing books for reading. supplementary to their lessons and to the school library They have also been trying all winter long to get their friends and the friends of the school out on Friday afternoons to witness their rhetoricals, merely be- cause they wanted encouragement and were anxious that their parents should know how they were progressing. But strange as it may seem very few visi- tors responded.
 This week they decided to assume dignified position and announced to their friends and relatives that if they wanted to enjoy yesterday afternoons programme it would cost them a small admission fee, as the entertainments they were giving were too good to pass without some substantial reward. As a result the schoolroom was well filled yesterday afternoon and the box office receipts were s2O, which goes into their reading fund. Better than that, many of the visitors say the entertainment was worth a half dollar instead of the small sum demanded at the door,
 Another incident in the work of this grade is worth mention. It shows tha there is a considerable literary genius among the seventh grade youngsters, and at least one good impromptu poet. A few days ago Professor Lee took his pupils into his confidence and asked them each to submit in writing their ideas of what should be done to keep up good attendance and interest ill the school work. One little girl seized her pencil and at once dashed off and submitted the following:
 The proper way to run school
 And make the kids all come.
 Is to give them candy every day
 And let them all chew gum.
 And when they want to whisper.
 Don't hinder them, oh, no!

CONAN DoYLEs BIG EARNINGS.

Till a few years ago Rudyard Kip ling was probably the bcst-paid writer in the English language. Since the South African war, however, it IS pcs sible he has had to give place to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It was stated the other day on good authority that tha creator of Sherlock Holmes has been commissioned jointly by the prOprie- tors of an English and American maga- zine to write twelve stories of 10.0o3 words apiece. for each of which he is to be paid S9.0O0 This works out at the rate of $500 per OOO words, and the big gulf that now separates Sir Arthur from other writers of fiction may be measured by the fact that hitherto Sz50 ia thou has been considered a good prcie for even the most widely read nOVelists.

THE LAST WOED.

Two well dressed ladies boarded d crowded northbound Woodward ave nue car near Grand Circus park the other evening and found standing room near the rear door, just as the conduc- tor started forward to collect his fares. When they reached Alfred street he had not yet made his way back to them. and they alighted without pay ing their fares.
 When he saw them leave -he car the conductor, an irascible little German, rushed to the rear platform and shout ed:'' Ladies, you didn't pay your fare" "
 But the ladies were out of hearing, and went on in blissful ignorance of the conductors perturbation.
 Ladies' he shouted again, in louder tones, aren't you going to pay your fare? ?''
 By this time the ladies were several rods away. and the conductor had made up his mind that they weren't coming back. So he sent this parting shot after them, as he pulled the bell rope to go ahead:
 Ladies, I'd pay my fare if I were you. I wouldn't be such a slob," he added in lower tone. as the car sped on. Detroit Free Press.

BETTER THAN PILLS.

The question has been asked, "In what way are Chamberlain's Stomach & Liver Tablets superior to pills?F Our answer is: They. are easier and more pleasant to take, more mild and gentle in effect and more reliable as they can always be depended upon. Then they cleanse and invisorate the stomach and leave the bowels in natural condi- tion, while pills are more harsh in ef- feet and their use is often followed by constipation.

BEAUTY AND STRENGTH

Are desirable. You are strong and vigorous. when your blood is pure. Many-nay, most-women, fail to prop erly digest their food, and so become pale, sallow, thin and weak, while the brightness, freshness and beauty of the skin and complexion depart. Remedy this unpleasant evil, by eating nour- ishing food, and taking a small dose of Heroine after each meal, to digest what you have eaten. soc. Sold by Elvey & Hulett, The Live Druggists.
