YUMA FRUITS
 THE EARLIEST
 AND BEST Figs, Grapes, Canteloupes First in r1arket AND BRING FABULOUS PRICES. The Festive Cucumber Divides Honors With the Luscious
 Fruits.
AND BRING FABULOUS PRICES.

Last week the Sentinel mentioned briefly that the Yuma Fruit Company had been shipping cucumbers and ripe figs to the California markets for two weeks and gave prices received for the same, which were as follows:
 Figs. per box IT pounds )...... 5000 Cucumbers, per box C doz. l.... 70
 It appears that even in Yuma there are few skeptics who do not believe that such prices were realized, MT. Blaisdell informed the Sentinel Mon dav that the figures given were cor rect, and if there are any further doubts it is an easy matter to furnish convincing proof. These early prod nets are luxuries, but there are plenty of rich or well-tO-do people in the cities who spend little time in quibbling over the price of anything that tempts their appetite.
 On Tuesday, June 2nd the Yuma Fruit Company shipped from Blaisdell Heights 13 small Rocky Ford cante- loupes to San Francisco which sold for ten dollars. This was at the rate of thirty dollars per crate, and they were the first in the market. Regular ship ments have since been made and yield ed handsome returns. The Heights Is fully week earlier than Conchella or Indio, and is the earliest spot in the Southwest.
 Mr. Fl. w. Blaisdell, proprietor of the Heights, from which come these early products, says that he will begin shipping grapes to the Los Angeles market within three or four days, and these will also come in for first place and money among the early fruits.

ketCherSlde Hance.

pr. J. A. Ketcherside seems to have stolen march on his Yuma friends some of them at least-and "went and got married" without even so much as saying by your leave (.J or consulting with them about it(D It's all right this time, Doctor, but please don't do it again. Regarding the affair we quote from the Phoenix Republican:
 Ut turns out that Dr. J. A. Fletcher side of Yuma did not come to Phoenix merely for the purpose of attending the meetings of the Territorial Medical association. He did attend those meet ings. but his attendance was only a blind. He was married night before last to Miss Frances Hance of Camp Verde. The ceremony was performed at the residence of Mrs. Cole, 806 North Third avenue. The officiating clergy man was Rev. w. T. Barkley of Glen dale. Dr. Ketcherside is unusually distinguished fer being cool and col lected under the most trying circum- stances. but on this occasion he was a little fustered. He forgot all about the marriage license until it was called for in the course of the ceremony and a messenger had to be sent after the clerk of the probate court"
 Dr. J. A. Ketcherside, with his father, E. B. Ketcherside, located in Yuma some months ago, purchasing the Cotter drug store. During his short residence here Dr. Ketcherside has won honorable distinction as a physician and made friends by his atfable and courteous demeanor. He is prison physician, and has acquired a lucrative practice.
 Mrs. Ketcherside is lady of refine ment and culture, and will be q well come addition to the society of Yuma. The Sentinel extends to the happy couple best wishes for q long, happy and prosperous future.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inllamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness caused by ca tarrh that cannot be cured by Hall : Catarrh Cure. Send for free circulars. F. J. CHENEY x Co.,, Props. Toledo, 0.

MILITIA ORDERED OUT.

Upon representations made by the sheriff of Graham county and Captain Rynning of the Ranger forces jointly, Acting Governor Stoddard on Tuesday ordered the entire force of Arizona militia to report at Morenci at once to preserve order. The request was also made of President Roosevelt to call out the regular forces at Forts Grant and Huachuca.
 Captain Donaldson of Co. H received orders at , o'clock Tuesday evening to report with his company at Morenci. The captain did some lively hustling, got the boys together and the company, B strong, left on a special train at l2 o'clock, midnight. Major Ingalls, went with the company under orders to re- port to the colonel i'll command, at Maricopa, where Co. H would join Cos. B. of Phoenix and C of Tempe and pro- ceed to the seat of the threatened trou- ble.
 The calling out of the militia is due to the attitude of the striking miners at Morenci, Graham county. The mi ners struck because of slight reduc- tion of the scale of wages under the new law providing an eight-hour day. Briefly stated, in a readjustment of the scale by the mine operators the miners were to be paid nine hours wages for eight hours work. The miners, of whom so per cent are Mexicans. and many of the balance Italians, refused to accept the new arrangement and over 2000 walked out. That was last week. Smeltermen joined the strike, and the number has been Swelled to 3500 Some trouble was threatened and Saturday night a force of sixteen rangers was ordered in quietly to re- press the leaders. The situation be- coming more alarming resulted in the ordering out of the militia.
 The situation at Morenci and Metcalf is reported very serious. One thous- and of the strikers are armed and it is feared that clash between the strik- CTS and militia may occur at any mo- ment. The business of MOrenci and Metcalf is paralyzed and that of Clifton seriously affected.

New Steel Rails.

There has been something doing in the way of track improvement between Yuma and Los Angeles since the first of the year The Southern Pacific Company has had a large force of men at work replacing the old 62-pound rails with new standard S0-pound steel rails, and the gang will reach Yuma, it is said, before the 1st of July, and will have then completed I50 miles of new track. Besides putting down the new rails, extensive work has been done in the way of strengthening curves and improving the road bed. The extent of these improvements is such that the time of crossing the desert under the old schedule will be cut to 2i hours.

WaterwOrks Mass Meeting.

Mayor Patterson has issued d call for a mass meeting to be held at the court house Saturday evening, June l3, at 8 o'clock, for the purpose of discussing the question of the city's issuing bonds to construct waterwOrks and electric light systems.
 Mir. Blaisdell has been asked to be present and both sides of the proposi- tion will be presented fully. It is earn estly desired that all interested, espec- cially taxpayers of the municipality, should attend the meeting.
 The questions to be discussed is one of vital importance. The conditions which have prevailed in Yuma for the past few years ought to be changed.
 Thousands of dollars worth of prop erty has gone up in smoke simply be- cause of inefficient fire protection. In- surance rates have become burdensome for the same reason. and at least cne- half of the time the hydrant water is unfit for drinking or cooking purposes because of it's filthiness.
 The wretched water system of Yuma is not a. new thing; it has long existed; it is notoriouSly bad. Does anyone be- lieve it will be made permanently better under the present ownership? There is nothing to warrant such be- lief. Is Mir. Blaisdell ignorant of the conditions that have prevailed-either as regards electric lighting or water service? No one will contend that he is or has been. Hasn't he been appealed to time and again for better service, and without avail? The water compa- ny has apparently ignored the situa- tion, notwithstanding the great fire losses sustained, and the continued dan ger of other and greater losses, because of insufficient water or pressure. It would perhaps be more charitable to the company, and be very close to the truth to say that all the fault lies in the defective water system, and that 1t is impossible to remedy the trouble ex- cept by the construction of new system and upon entirely different plans from the present one.
 It is time now for the people who have had to stand these fire losses, and all who are subject to the same dan gers, which may be repeated at any time without warning, to take decisive action for the better protection of their property and the health of themselves, their families and the general public.
 Municipal ownership will give us plenty of good water and better prOtec- tion from fire-and from fever epidem- ics; it will give us lower water rates and cheaper insurance. Municipal ownership is right from every point of view and ought to be endorsed by ev- cry citizen.
 1 Let every body attend this meeting, where the water question and the bond proposition will be given thorough ven- tilation at the hands of both friends and opponents of the bonds, and the intelli' gent voter may thus gain information that will determine his action on cleo tion daytime g,
