Happy HooIigan, Johnny Bosten Beans, Lady Bountiful, Mrs. Katzenjammer, Tumble Tom, Gloomy Gus and Fedders McGinnis. and as they have their re- spective roles to essay and are brought 1 together in harmony, all can appreciate the many ludicrous and laugh-provok- ing situations which result. They all have their turns and as the cartoons are funny and realities are screamingly laughable and the audience last night yelled itself almost wild with delight.
 The management has provided a com pany which is par-excellence and among the members are those who have won much merited places in the hearts of theatrical lovers. Many of the funny and exciting scenes are introduced, and this affords abundant opportunity for presenting specialties in keeping with 1 the characters and for musical num- bers
 The stage settings are elaborate, the costumes and scenic effects wholly in keeping with the rest of the production.
 Looping the Loop" is in two acts, and the second is at Rockaway Beach, where the famous Loop the Loop'' furnishes food for the author to com pose many funny things.

 fireplace Santa came, while six little fairies, girls, and six brownie boys pelted him with snowballs. After much attention to him and his reindeers he
 told the children of his trip; told of his factory for toys, of his particular tin
 soldiers, and asked if they had ever
 heard of the boat Columbia. He called
 on his brownies, who played Columbia, l the Gem of the Ocean" on their tin
 horns, to the delight of the children and also tune especially prepared for | a Yale professor. Then the white fair
 ies sang a beautiful Christmas tree song. The primary children, led by
 Miss Osborn, raised their sweet voices 1 in another Christmas carol. after
 which the reindeers, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Dunder and Blitzen, were
 quieted again: and the children were each given present, book, toys or a game. The distribution was made by 1 Rev. Mir. Stokes to the fairies and brownies, who saw that every boy and girl was remembered. A Christmas
 carol was then sung and with wishes
 for happy New Year the happy chill dren were dismissed.

DID GOOD WORK.

Father Timmermans. Catholic priest who has for several years been located in the Clifton-Morenci district. spent yesterday in Phoenix, going to Tucson last night, where he is called on the business of an arbitration com mittee. of which he is a member. ap- pointed by the citizens of Clifton and the mining company there. The ques- tion at issue is one growing out of the late flood, the citizens claiming the company is in measure responsible for the property losses, on account of its dumps and other workings in the creek bed. The company indicated its willingness to do whatever is right in the matter, and the arbitration com mittee was appointed.
 Father Zimmerman is highly spoken of by many who were at Clifton during the late strike. While he sympa- thiZed in large measure with the cause of the striking miners, he exerted all his influence to maintain good order, telling his people that they not only could not gain their point by force of arms, but that 1t would be wrong for them to do so if they could. Great credit is due him for restraining some who were instrumental in fomenting trouble. Father Zimmerman was at one time assistant priest in this parish, previous to nine years ago. under Father Juveneau, who died later.-Ari- zona Republican.

ARE PAYING BRAND TAX.

The territorial live stock sanitary board is having quite a rush on brand taxes this week. Fees are coming in rapidly from every section Of the ter ritory, and up to yesterday not less than 5000 had been received by Sec retary Harrison.
 The law requires that every range brand that is kept up shall be taxed s2.50 year, and the person owing more than one brand, but only using one, will be protected by law, provided that only ore brand is used. Should he have more than one and attempt to use them. it will be necessary for him to pay the brand tax.
 All irons not paid for by September 30 will be of no value, and the live stock board, according to the law of 1903, would have the right to refuse to grant the brand. provided another had applied for it.-Gazette.
