DEATH OF MRS. PROOFS
Succumbed to Stroke of Apoplexy
 Yesterday Forenoon.

Mrs. Hannah J. Troops died sudden ly of apoplexy before noon yesterday at
 the family residence on South Center street. She was enjoying her usual health the night before and also yes terday morning as far as anyone had noted. Her son. Harry, came up to fire department headquarters in the middle of the forenoon. his wife going to church. When Mrs Harry Troops re- turned from church she found her mother-in-law lying down and very i'll. She summoned her husband and a physician but before either arrived the stricken woman lapsed into uncon- sciousness and shortly after passed away.
 The funeral will be held this after noon at 4 o'clock at the undertaking parlors of A. J. Bradley and interment will be made in the new Jewish ceme- tery west of the city on the Yuma road. Mrs. c. A. Willis, who lives at Iron Springs, the only daughter of Mrs. Troops. is Fl and will be unable to at tend the funeral.
 Mrs. Troops was 51 years old and was born in London. England. At the age of 16 she went to Australia where she met John Troops to whom she was married in Melbourne. In 1880 the family came to this country landing in San Francisco and going from there at once to Tombstone which was then en- toying its greatest prosperity. Six years later the family came to Phoenix MT. Troops driving across the desert from Tombstone in charge of the fur niture and household effects of the late B. A. Fickas. Mir. Troops was soon after placed in charge of the city hall plaza and was the gardener that first made it one of the attractions of the city. MT. Troops died quite suddenly few years ago and soon after, illness and worry so weakened his widow mentally that it became necessary to commit her to the hospital for the in- sane She was at various times al- lowed to come home, however. when her condition improved and about four months and a hal: ago she had i'm proved so much she was discharged and has since then lived with her son and his family.

The Fountain was put out of business but it can be repaired SO it will be as good as yer. Strangely enough there was ten gallon freezer full of ice cream in the cellar and near to the hottest of the fire. The melting ice on the top seemed to freeze it harder on the bottom end yesterday morning there was only about two gallons of it melted while the eight gallons in the bottom was super extra fine. Both MT. Mcclure and MT. Depew are loud in praise of the work of the fireinen for without that organization they would both De out of business now.
 As usual when a mysterious fire oc- CUTS. there was someone 10 suggest the possibility of planned destruction, not the result of any course of reasoning but for want of any other explanation. Such an intimation does gross injustice to the business men concerned and might be calculated to injure them more even than their actual losses. To begin with there is no man in that block against whom such a suspicion could lie with those who know them and if there were the investigation Of anyone who has visited the scene since would dissipate such an idea.

ones appearance as, say, hollow cheeks of puffiness under the eyes, with at tendant crows feet, is due to the mus cles of the face being allowed, through continual disuse. to become atrophied.
 The first process a modern beauty doctor submits client to Is a thorough steaming. The face is next massaged and the dormant muscles aroused into activity.
 In>on treatment the lady wears a curious looking India rubber band around her neck, while the practitioner is holding tube of the same material. The object of applying the India rubber band and then exhausting the air is to pull the muscles, as 1t were, into cer- tain positions, and after a month or so they will remain in position without artificial support. By persevering n this course of treatment a scraggy neck it is claimed-may be made plump and beautiful.
 In the same way a gentleman whose cheeks have become hollow can have them gradually pumped out, and with the assistance of massage and vigorous scrubbing with India rubber pads ana brushes he will be completely trans formed within a month or six weeks.
 Similar methods remove wrinkle: from the forehead and crows feet from the eyes. By massaging the muscles the blood is made to circulate freely, and the skin becomes clear and trans parent. In a short time the natural bloom and freshness of youth returns to the once faded face, and. what is more, remains there, if ordinary pre- cautions are taken.-London Leader.

FUNERAL OF MIR. FIcKAs
Hundreds Testified by Their Presence
 to the Worth of the Dead.

The funeral of B. A. Fickas took place yesterday afternoon at o'clock at his late home, No. 921 West Wash ington street. Notwithstanding that the ceremony had been announced to be private one, there was an outpour- ing of the friends who had known the dead. many of them for almost a gen eration. The display of the fraternal orders was perhaps the greatest eve: witnessed at a funeral in Phoenix. There were present in the regalia of their lodges representatives of the Knights of Pythias, the Daughters of Rebekah, the I. O. O. F., the A. O. U. w, the United Moderns, the Rathbone Sisters, the Fraternal Brotherhood, the Women's Relief Corps and the G. A. R. It had not been generally known that Mir. Fickas was a member of the latter organization. He seemed to be young man to have participated in the Civil war. But while a boy he had been 2 gallant soldier in an Indiana regi- ment. ra
 Most of the teachers of the public schools were present, for Mir. FickaS had been a member of the school board during the period of the greatest inn provement and prosperity of the schools. As a member of the board he allowed nothing. not even his private affairs, to interfere with the discharge of his official duty.
 There was a prOfusion of flowers, many of which, the last gifts of synpa- thiZing friends, were brought in after the beginning of the ceremony at the ha at 10 hnt1cQ nd at the cemetery were brief. They were conducted by Rev. Lapsley A. McAfee of the Presbyterian church. There were words of consolation and prayer.
 Those who had found entrance to the house and those who were outside were permitted to take a last look at the face they had known so we'll and the body was borne to the hearse by Judge Street, Dr. J. NJ. Ford, Jerry Millay, Frank T. Alkire, W. G. Robinson ani T. E. Dalton, and one of the longest processions ever formed in Phoenix went it's way to the place of burial
 The interment took place in the ceme- tery of the Knights of Pythias. There was a brief religious service, after which the rites of the Knights were performed. The members of the frater nal bodies were ranged about the grave but took no further part in the cere- mony.

are not necessarily leaders be-
cause they advertise but they are
broad minded and know there is
profit in advertising.
The time has gone by when
the merchant who is alive to his
interest thinks he must advertise
to keep the publisher from going
to the poor house. He knows it
pays him individually.
The local merchant and the To-
cal publisher must of necessity
cooperate. The publisher should
at all times be on the lookout for
new ideas-ideas which will at
tract attention to his town and
the home merchant. The mer-
chant should keep posted regard
ing the demands of the trade and
By judicious advertising and sys-
tematic work keep his stock clean
aud bright--these efforts will al
ways bring trade. Cooperation
is bouud to win success.
Show us a live town and you
will find live merchants. IF the
merchants are alive and the town
is wide-awake you will fud one
or two up-to-date newspapers
filled with attractive advertise
ments and the reading columns
replebe with news and wholesome
suggestions relating to the pro.
gresslye spirit which permeates
the whole community.-Ex.

THE WORLDS RICHEST MAN.

The New York American decides
that the cne thousand million dollars
popularity supposed to be possessed
by John D, Rockefeller fairly de-
scribes his possessions in money, but
not his actual fortune, which cannot
be computed in coin OF the realm.
His practical control of the mineral
oils of the United States means, at
the lowest, fortune of five thousand
million, which he can increase to
any amount he chooses. This has
had recent proof in his doubling the
price Of gasolene since it has come
into such demand for automobilin1

purposes.
Besides practically owning all the
mineral oil of the country, Mr..
Rockefeller also owns many railroads
or so controls all the roads that they
dare not handle any oils without his
consent. This of course handicaps
all other oil owners. Mr.. Rocketel-
ler also owns the electric-gas lighting
plants of New York and many other
