warded to the adjutant general of the
army through regular military chan

officers or enlisted men except in dis
tinguished bravery or conspicuous gal
lantry, which shall have been mani
tested in action by conduct that dis
tinguishes soldier above his COM
rades, and that involves risk of life.
''When any enlisted man of the army
shall have distinguished himself in the
service, the president may grant him
a certificate of merit, on the recon-
incubation of the commanding officer
of the regiment or the chief of the
corps to which such man belongs.
Recommendations for certificate
of merit must originate with an eye
witness, preferably the immediate COM
handing officer.

enlisted man for distinguished service
entities him, from the date of such serv-
ice. to additional pay at the rate of
two dollars per month while in the

acts for good depended wholly upon the membership, upon the class of men who took an active interest in it. Here was the chance for the kicker. If things
 had not gone to suit him. the oppOr- tunity to make a change was pre-
 sented to him. If he and enough of his
 kind would join the board they could
 run it as it ought to be run-for the

 might have done better than it had if it
 had had more encouragement, if more people had taken an interest in its eX-

 ship the greater the interest will nat
 urally be.

CHANGING REAL ESTATE
hany Transfers Made Within the Last
 Ten Days.

The real estate condition shows 9 very healthful activity. and the best evidences of the valleys prosperity and excellent prospects are the purchases which are being made by local inveS- tors.
 Dwight P. Heard reports quite a number of sales during the past ten days. among which is the purchase by John J. KOhlberg. one of the pro prietors of the Arizona laundry, of the property of Peter Eilingson in Simms' addition. which is one of the most at tractive residences in that part Of town.
 MT. Heard also sold to John W. Teal, who has recently arrived from Barber ton, O., 16O acres from the ranch of MT. Charles Pendergast, near Glendale. MT. Teal, who has had a thoroughly practical experience in farming, comes here to make the valley his home, and has already commenced improving the land recently purchased.
 MT. Heard also reports sales in the Arlington and Tempe countries, which is an evidence that the entire valley is active from a real estate stand point.

VERDICT FOR THE PLAINTIFF
In the Case of Ford Against the
 SEP. .0P.

The damage suit of George s. Ford
 against the s. F, P. &, r. railway end ed last night in a verdict for the plain
 tiff for $3,5OO, which is S1 800 less than the amount for which suit was brought.
 The case was before the court two days. It went to the jury a little be-
 fore o'clock and at the verdict was
 returned. The plaintiff is e resident Of Wickenburg, and was engaged in sort of transfer business there with his
 brother. Constable Ford. Among other things they were engaged in was sup plying the people of Wickenburg with
 ice. On the morning of July of this year d shipment of 2 zoo pounds of ice
 arrived for them from Phoenix. The
 ice was brought in the cabOose of a freight train, and when the caboose
 was run up alongside the depot plat form George Ford got into the car and began unloading the ice. In the mean time the engine had cut loose from the train. ran out onto switch and picked up a couple of empty cars and ran
 them back to the train. The act of
 coupling jared the plaintiff from the
 aboose and threw him against the
 platform, inficting the injuries for which he asked damage.
 There was really only one important
 point in dispute. That was the right
 of the plaintiff to be in the car at all.
 His testimony and that of his brother was that when the tam came in the conductor told them that he was short of help that morning and that they would have to take the ice out of the car. It had been the custom for the trainmen to unload all goods upon the platform.
 The conductor testified that he had made no such statement, and other persons about the depot that morning said that they had not heard him/yay anything about being short handed.
 The station agent at Wickenburg said that he was standing beside the train at the time the coupling was made and
 had his hand upon one of the cars. He said the meeting of the cars was not unusually violent. He had seen parts of trains come together with greater force. and also he had seen them come together with less force That, however. was not an important matter, except to show that the em- ployes Of the road acted with usual and reasonable caution. The issue rest ed upon the testimony as to whether the plaintiff was in the car under the ! direction of the conductor.

THE BOARD OF TRADE
IL Made a Most Satisfactory Growth
 Yesterday.

The board of trade grew rapidly yes terday, and the indications are that it will keep on growing until in its membership is enrolled every progres- sive man who is interested in the town or the valley. At a late meeting of the board it was decided that the member ship should be increased and the board Of directors was requested to resolve itself into committee for that purpose.
 Yesterday Messrs. FIilwiler, O'Neill
 Dunbar Marshall and Powers started out on a systematic canvass. of the town. They did not get entirely over it, but so far as they went they met with great encouragement. They found many who a first objected to enroll
 ment on the ground that they were not satisfied with the management of the board. They agreed that it possessed great capabilities for good; that is, the principle was all right, but it needed the right kind of men to carry it out.
 That was the kind of talk the can vassers liked to hear. It gave them an opening. They pointed out that the board was a popular body and that it's
