 It is very desirable that the business men of the city and all others inter ested in Arizona who can do so. should meet Mir. Newell who is one of the best friends Arizona has in Washington or anywhere else. His coming could not be definitely foretold or previous an- nOuncement would have been made.
 B. A. Fowler had been advised that Mir. Newell and Mir. Davis would prob ably arrive this morning but his in formation was not definite, their move ments depending on the completion of their inspection of the Colorado val ley from Needles south to, and below, Yuma. As soon as they had finished they took the first train for this val ley arriving in Mesa City yesterday morning and spending yesterday at the camps of the men engaged in the sur veys designed to furnish data regard ing the underground flow of water in this valley.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
A Encouragement of Boxes and Tele.
 phone Numbers.

c. W. Stokoe, chief of the Phoenix fire department, is engaged in rear ranging the fire alarm system of the city, which was badly needed. for there are certain sections of the city for which no alarm had previously been provided. The new arrangement is to be on plan that will be much more convenient for both the department and the public. The present boxes, of which there are fifteen. were placed and num- bered very largely by chance, so when the bell rang certain number one naG no idea what part of town the fire was in unless familiar with the location or the boxes.
 under the new system there will be no number under 10 and the first signal or the bell will indicate the ward in which the fire is located. for the nuyu- Der in the first ward will be between 10 and 20. for the second ward beiwean 70 and %, for the third ward between "O and 40, and for the fourth ward be- tween 20 and 50. To illustrate if an alarm comes in from box 37 the hell strikes three taps, indicating the third ward and the first figure of the number. It then strikes seven taps. completing the number of the box, but the ,n;eres.- cd citizen may begin moving toward the third ward without waiting for inc seven.

CHANGE BREAKFAST. Habit of Healthy Europeans.

The sturdy Scotch. Germans, French and Italians seldom or never eat meat for breakfast
 Long experience has taught that the breakfast should be simple and not in- clude meat.
 Many Americans suffer with weak stomachs and more or less illness be- cause they fail to understand the sim pie and healthful plan of a breakfast somewhat like the following:
 little fruit.
 dish of Grape-Nuts and cream.
 One or two soft eggs.

 One or two days trial will teach him big volume of facts and make him feel lift as a lord There is a deep un- derlying and scientific reason. The best argument. however, is the ac,ua experience with such breakfasts.

BULLET AND RAZOR
Former Phoenix Man has a Lively
 Row in BisbeF.

Emanuel B. Scott, coloIed, a former resident Of this city and one Of ,ae mosr expert crap shooters that ever ;ooH q chance on the field, is in serious trouble in Bisbee. His left arm was broken Dy a bullet from a six-skOoter il the hands Of Yellow Dick. another sport of Afri- can lineage, while a second bullet punctured the skin of the abdomen but fortunately glanced and did not leave a dangerous wound.
 Scott at one time drove a job wagon here and later went to Gila coun;y, where he cooked in a mining camp. and drifted into Bisbee on the late boom. He has enjoyed an unusual amount of family diseord for a long time and has hinted that his wife dic not love him as much as she might If she tried real hard After going to Bisbee this condition failed to improve. with the result that Thursday morn ing himself and wife were in the iocai justices court, where he charged ner with having fits and she charged him with various sorts of unkindness. The result of the session was that he wa. fined S7.50. and after court they began more or less amicable division of community property under the super vision of an officer who was there to preserve peace.
 Friday evening Emanuel met Yellow Dick back of the engine house. anC when the officers arrived he was out of the game as above described. while Yellow Dick had a bad cut behind the lert ear that might have been the work of razer. Both were arrested. but neither would say who was the aggres- sor in the fight and Dick refused to say anything He would not even give his other name or state whether or no; ne had had trouble with anybody But ne did not need to for the gash behind the ear was eloquent

 No. 51 will be a general alarm, mean ing that the fire is a big one and all the apparatus in the city, whether at Five Points or the ward hose houses, should respond.
 But the rearrangement of the tele- phone calls has already been made in conformity with the above plan and will be in effect on and after Friday, January 9. The list of district numbers is as follows. the first figure or the number indicating the ward;
 First Ward-District No. F, coral- First and Mckinley streets.

THE CAIRNS MASS MEETING
Outline of Evangelistic Services for
 This Week.

All the chairs were filled and stools were called into service at the mems mass meeting in O'Neiu hall yesterday afternoon, and Mir. Cairns address was a masterful one A friend said to one of the best known young men in Phoe- nix IS they were leaving the hall: There were three hundred men there. Yes" was the reply. and the lecture was worth dollar a head 10 every one of them"
 The meeting began With an inspiring song service and an admirably rem dered selection. Abide With Me. by the Emluon qulrtette, whose voices blended in beautiful harmony. 1ar. Cairns took for his text words found in the prophecy of Jonah 1:3-"He paid the fare, and gave a soul-stirring talk which will never be forgotten by those who heard it. He spoke of the temptd- tions of everyday life, some of the mCse subtle and dangerous of them being the result of ignorance of the laws which govern mems bodies. He demanded or parents that they give to their chli- dreu instruction which otherwise would be imparted by. vicious associates 10 the destruction of their bodies and souls.
 He spoke of the law of heredity anG urged those present to be men for the sake ,cf their children. By argument and illustration he showed what So brave and holy thing it is to live all upright, pur- and holy life.
 His address was truly a magnificent one, brilliant in rhetoric, sparkling With humor. illumiucd by illustrations, DOW erful in appeal.
 No man could near it without being a better man and being better fitted to live a nObler life. Tn conclusion MT. Cairns appealed to the men present to trust and obey the Lord, who would first save man from sin and then send him forth to save others.
 MT. Cairns gospel meetings will be continued through this week, closing with next Sunday. Today at 4:1- o'clock he will speak at a children g mass meeting in O'NeiI hall. All the children and all the grown people ir the city are invited to attend this meet ing. which will close at o'clock.

 Az both Mir. Newell and Mir.

The route back to health is nine times out of ten through the use of proper food The healthy enjoy life, it is the sickly and weak who have lost interest. Re storing health dhrough scientific feed ing) means restoring happiness too.
 You must take a fresh hold. Here Is a sample case-a lady of Dallas, Texas, who writes: Two years ago I was sick all the time None of the food l was eating agreed with me. It did not digest and l suffered dreadfully.

HAVE TO WALK UP STEPS. Elevator Boys Strike In Chicago Causing Much Inconvenience.

Chicago, February 6.-Tenants in
 many large office buildings found con-
 siderable inconvenience in getting to and from their offices today owing to the strike of elevator conductors, who,
 with starters, janitors and window washers, are seeking to enforce recog-
 milton of their unions by the building managers association. While some sort of elevator service was effected by the building managers in nearly ieyery instance, the support being given
 the strikers by the coal teamsters threatens to leave the buildings in darkness and without heat unless q speedy settlement is arranged. Coal teams are being turned back without depositing their loads at many of the buildings. Particular attention is paid by pickets to the Dearborn Power com pany, which furnishes light and power to most of the affected buildings, and which is said to have no more than enough coal to last through the day. A meeting of the managers associa- tion has been called for late this after noon to consider the situation.

STAMPS WILL NOT BE USED. Postoffice Bill Makes Important Change
 In the Law.

Washington, February 6.--The postoffice appropriation bill passed yesterday by the house contains an important provision that has not attracted much attention. It provides that hereafter postoffices shall accept for transmission in the malls quantities of not less than 2000 identical pieces of third or fourth-class matter without postage stamps affi> ed, provided that the postage is fully prepaid.
 This action was recommended strongly by Third Assistant Postmaster General Madden in the interest of economy to the gov ernment and to the business public. Under this provision, as agreed by the de- partment, this proposed legislation will save the expense of manufacturing stamps, the sale of them to the public and the subsequent labor of cancelling the stamps after they are mailed. It will save the public the work of attaching stamps to the individual pieces of mail.
