DEATH OF GENERAL DRAKE
Passing of One Of Iowa's Most Distin-
guished Citizens.

1t viii be remembered by man.
Phoenix people that General Francis
Marion Drake. formerly governor OF
Iowa. spent sometime in this city last
winter and was greatly impressed with
the valley, which he hoped to visit
again this winter. He had q great
many personal friends here. and there
are many other here from Iowa not
personally acquainted with him who
honored him for his charities and pub
lie spirit and for his enviable record
politically and otherwise. in the home
state. Though it was mentioned in tbs
dispatches there are many who failed
to note it and will therefore be panied
to learn that he died at the home Of
his daughter. Mrs. Henry Goss. in
Centerville, Iowa on the 21st. Speaking
of his death an Iowa paper says:
THE general was stricken with dia-
betes several days ago and had beeh
gradually growing worse ever since.
No alarm was felt at first. His son.
John A. Drake and his daughter. Mrs

Cor. His other three daughters. Mrs
l.enry Goss. Mrs. George Strdivant
and Mrs. 7. A. Shouts and another
son. Frank Drake. were at the bed
side at the time of death.
The estate of General Drake. consist
ing Of bank and railroad stocks and
farm land. is said TO be worth between
100000 and 100000. It was SAID
shat the Drake university of Des
Moines. 10 which General Drake al
ready had given 100000. would To-
ceive a share of the estate.
Francis Marion Drae was born IN

PROPOSITION TURNED DOWN
Citizens Committee Rejects Report Of
Sub Committee.

The Citizens committee met last
night for the purpose of receiving the
report of the subcommittee of seven
appointed to consider the proposition
made by superintendent II. w. Heap
of the Phoenix Water company.
Details of that proposition and the
recommendation by the subcommittee.
that it be accepted by the general COM
mittee have already been published.
The committee made it's report which
was discussed at great length. During
the discussion various members of the
committee spoke announcing their
reasons for signing the report. Some
still favored its adoption while others
announced that they had noted a feel
ing of apathy on the part of the MEM
bers OF the larger committee and had
accepted the concessions made by Mr..
Heap, realizing if the citizens We're
apathetic the campaign was lost and
they had better take all the conces-
sious possible. At the close of the
discussion a motion was made and
carried that the report of the commit
tee be tabled.
Then came numerous speeches re-
speeding the conduct of the campaign
from now till election day. The chair
main. f. b. O'Nein announced that Il
campaign could not be run without
money and about $500 was subscribed
for campaign purposes.
DR.. Foss Pat Hurley and f. w.
Potter were appointed a committee on
press and publicity and another COM
mittee was appointed on entertainment.

"A COUNTY CEMENT co.
Nay be Formed 10 Bid on the Tonic
Contract.

1t is possible that if the interior
department invites bids for the manu-
facture or furnishing Of cement Tor the
Tonic Basin Reservoir a company
viii be hastily formed in this valley
TO offer Il bid. The government will
probably submit two propositions, one
for the furnishing OF the cement and
the other for the making Of it by the
plant which the government has al
ready bought. If only the first prOpO-
sition were submitted there could be
no local competition, but if the 9TH
er or both OF them were offered, a
company could be formed here which
would put the cement trust out Of
business. The local organization would
naturally be q county affair and it
would make no difference to it how
lew its figures might be just so they
were low enough to cut under the ce-
ment trust. A county company could
offer to make cement for twenty-five
cents a barrel on the ground. What
ever may be the cost of making it and
by whatever company it is furnished,
or even if furnished by the govern
ment tie county viii ultimately have
to pay fer it.
As it now appears that any conces-
zion the department may make to
the trust will cost the country it is be-
lieved that it would be better for the
county to put itself in a position to
avoid being bled. There is already a
good deal of talk Of the organization
Of a company and it is almost certain
that when it is understood definitely
that the government will submit one
or both of the propositions, and when
the matter has been given a definite
form, a Maricopa county cement com
pany will spring into existence.

The Modern Christmas.

"For Christmas comes but once a
year" And in the opinion of many it Is
an elegant sutficIency. There is no gain
saying the fact that a good many are just
az well satisfied that it comes no more
frequently. 1t is of course true that very
many, probably a majority, celebrate the
holiday in the proper spirit. and look
forward to its coming with the most joy
Gus expectations, but it is equally tru
that there are many others who look up
on its advent as an annual aifliction-a
dreaded season ofannoyance and perplex-
ity, during which selfishness, greed and
ingratitude are more frequently encoun
tered than the opposite characteristic of
charity, benevolence and good will. Tho
practice OF giving gifts is a beautiful one,
SO long as it is conducted along proper
lines so long as "'tis not the value of the
gift" but when II assumes the character
of commercialism, when a person makes
agift in expectation of getting a better
one, and is disappointed II this expecta-
ton is not realized, it is no longer beau
tiful. 1t becomes hideous. When it
comes to simply swapping gifts the
Christmas spirit is lost. And it cannot
be denied that the tendency is in that di-
rection. Parents as a rule overdo the
thing when their children are young. The
boy or girl OF 40 or 80 years ago derived
much more real satisfaction from an in
expensive present than the one of to day
does from a much more valuable one.
Parents of to-day bestow such valuable
gifts upon their children when they are
young that when they are a little older
grown there is nothing good enough for
them. When a lad or lass of a dozen
plays a lack of gratitude, because d gift
is not more valuable, it is good evidence
that there has been a plethora of presents
before. And it is much the same with
the grown folks. The husband whose
wife has about everything she desires,
experiences moe and more difficulty
each succeeding year in finding some
thing suitable and satisfactory. And it is
the same with the wife whose husband is
we'll supplied. These are a lew of the
reasons why people take up such heavy
burdens each recurring holiday season
when they commence hunting for Christ
mas presents. Were all purchasers to re-
strict themselves to merely some little
remembrance, something which they
could afford to pay for, it would certainly
be much better than to indulge la more
extravagant purchases, often assuming
debts which are burdensome for many
weary months. And the recipients
should always remember that t,ere is
nothing so unkind as base iugratitude.-

CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence of climatic conditions in
the cure of consumption is very much
overdrawn. The poor patient, and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
hume by proper attention TO food diges-
ton. and a regular use of German Syrup.
Free eXpectoration in the morning is
made certain by German Syrup, so is a
good nights rest and the absence of that
weakening cough and facilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the exhans-
ton due to coughing, the greatest dam
ger and dread of the consumptive, can be
prevented or stopped by taking German
Syrup literally and regularly. Should
you be able to 90 to a warmsr cline, you
Will find that of the thousands of con-
sumptives there, the few who are bene-
fitted and regain strength are those who
use German Syrup. Trial bottlos, 25c

Excellent Advice.

Alfred Truman, a Jefferson county
writer, of more tLan ordinary note, and
who is we'll known to many of our read
ers, gives this excellent advice to young
relative starting in life, which the Brook
vile Republican of last week publishes:
Having started out in life for yourself,
and having shown your ability to conduct
a legitimate business successfully, l write
to warn you against any attempt at get
ting rich quicker than good common
busin, IS methods will admit of. AS it
becomes known that you are accumulat-
ing money, you will be beset by a class of
men who, as it is said, live by their wits,
aud if not themselves s%coundrels, they
represent such. Men, or concerns that
have not q single honest purpose in view
but who live OIL the honest substance of a
better class, will come to you with
schemes Offering great promise, but
which have no foundation save in their
W villainous plans to rob you. I'm
principaled scheniers will offer TO sell
you mining stocks, presenting to your
young mind visions # gold, silver and
copper mines in aclual and active opera
ton, earning for the stockholders unlim-
tied wealth, when in reality the mine or
mines represented to you either do not
exist or are nothing more than a mining
claim or a line entirely valueless. II
you are in possession at stocks or shares,
procured through agents who have claim
ed torepresent an actual mining company,
my advice is to burn the paper, made
worthless by the matter printed upon it,
aud forever afterwards regard the
man who seeks to sell you mining
shares just as you would were you
to catch him robbing your safe.
Another form of robbery, practiced upon
a class of persons whom one would think
to be wanting in proper saneness is
through the operations of what is known
as the bucket Shops" If your town
bears the disgrace of tolerating Que of
these institutions, | earnestly appeal to
you to shun it as a dear sweetheart, wife,
or mother would shun a brothel. Remem-
Der that, apart from the sin and folly of
gambling, the concern owns both ends of
the wire and what this means is shown
by the universal extent to which nearly
all have been duped who have tried get
ting rich by this one-sided method of
taking risks.
am told that people of small means,
in our town, and some whose religious
convictions should have restrained them
from the evils of gambling, have lot, in
the aggregate, $50. 800 within the last year
or two by this form of idiotic vice and
folly. Some of this money represented
the lifetime earnings of people both dead
and living, and was needed in almost ev-
ry instance to tide over the lives of those
who have wasted it by means worse than
to have thrown into the fire.

Governor Opposes Dancing.


The governor of Nebraska is making a
bid for a place in history a. the executive
who forbids dancing on the part of the
State employees. Governor Mickey de-
clares that he is opposed to dancing on
moral grounds. Liberties are permitted
in the ballroom not tolerated elsewhere"
says the governor; "most of the diigraced
women attribute their fall to dancing, for
human vultures haunt the bathrooms TO
presume upon acquaintance and ruin
younA women. The difference between
the masculine and feminine code of NOR
ais is the cause of sin and sorrow in the
under world. A man may stray from
the path of virtue and be respectable.
Every hand pushes a woman downward.
II dancing contributes in any way to
pulling the women of our land from their
throne of virtue we should not permit
it,"
And this is the governor OF Billy Bry-
ans State, where peoples liberties are
not supposed to be curtaiIed by bosses or
combines of any sort.

Postal Affairs.

Those who have studied the question
capable of many reforms which would
greatly increase its usefulness as a SER
want of the nation. The pretent discus
sion of affairs In the department is al OPP
perfume moment to present these reforms
to the people so that they may become a
popular desire.
Abuses of second class mail privileges
have long been a disgrace to the postal
service, but much has now been done TO
correct them. Alleged periodicals which
were in reality books, or merely adver-
or an excessive sample copy distribution
were deprived OF the rights of second
class mail. The same was denied news
agents who formerly returned their un-
sold matter at the pound rate.
The distinction between third and
fourth class matter, that is between print
cd matter and merchandise, forces the
postal authorities to ask the sender irri-
tating questions and causes much loss of
time. Assistant Postmaster General
Madden has recommended the consolIda-
ton of these w classes, at a uniform
rate of one cent for every two ounces.
lie suggests also the use of postal
checks, which would be a great convent
ence in sending money 10y post, and
would prevent the excessive use of
stamps, which increases the robberies in
small offices where large supplies must
be kept on hand, and permits the post
masters to demand an increase of salary
owing to the large sale of stamps.
In Germany to-day it is possible to or
der goods in any part of The empire and
have them sent cheaply and promptly 10y
post, charges collect. Parcels post exists
in nearly every European country, but it
has not been in use in this country sim
ply because the private express compan-
les have been powerful enough to pre-
vent it. This is but a single instance OF
how the companies have their interests
protected. The influence OF these private
companies is great ana opposed to the
public, but it would be powerless in the
face of real public de ire for a parcels
post. The desire for it will come as soon
as people realize its value.

The disposition to parade criminals is
too frequently manifest, TO the detrilnent
of public morals. The latest instance of
this demoralizing practice. developed in
Chicago, calls forth the following criti-
cism from the lnter-Ocean: There is too
much public exhibition of criminals
too much license given them to display
and vauGt themselves. The levees which
the Chicago police permitted the carbarn
murderers to hold were immoral and
depraving spectacles. The sooner a
criminal is withdrawn from the public
vision and the less ado with which the
silence ofa prison cell is made to close
around him the better for the cause OF
law and social decency.
