MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE
An All-Arizona Celebration To Be
 Held in Phoenix.

The Mexican people of this city pro- pose, under the auspices cf the Junta Patriotica. to hold a celebration here in honor of their national independence that will outshine anything the Mexi- cans or Arizona ever attempted before and possibly will make the ordinary Fourth of July celebration ashamed of itself. The event is to be an all- Arizona demonstration at the capital city. and it Is to cover three days. Sep tember 15, IS and IT.
 The Junta Patriotica held meeting at the city hall yesterday which was presided over by Consul A. Pima and was largely attended. Committees were appointed to look after the different features of the celebration. It was de- cided to ask the board of trade to as- sist in the securing of railroad excur- sion rates, and the preliminaries are tentered upon thus early in order to an- | ticipate any celebrations that might be | arranged for elsewhere. One commit tees work is to correspond with the people in the Mexican settlements all over Arizona requesting them to forego any celebration they may have in mind and unite in the promotion of this one big demonstration in Phoenix.
 The programme has not yet been ar ranged other than a skeleton outline but it will include a big parade of floats. etc, lots of oratory and speech making. The territorial and other officers will be invited as guests of | honor, and the fire department will be asked to participate in the spectacular ' features. Among the floats in the par ade prominent positions will be occu- 1 f,fa h1r I,a | of justice and a third goddess repre- senting the whole continent of North America. Tn another float will be seen side by side two fair damsels, one a Mexican girl and the ether a daughter of North American parents, the two representing the sister republics. Ii is desired that these two at least shall be ! chosen by ballot, the Mexican people electing their representative and the Americans electing the young lady that is to maintain the dignity of the north ern republic.
 About S175 was subscribed yesterday
 by the members of the club present in the meeting. and it is likely the ballot
 ing will result in other funds for pur-
 poses Of the celebration. It has also been decided to hold a grand ball on
 the night of the 21st of July chiefly for
 the raising of funds for the celebration
 II is probable that the election of the
 two queens spoken of above will occur
 at this ball, all attending of either na-
 tionality being entitled to bring theiI
 young lady friends and enter them ir
 the race for honors.
 In addition to the spectacular things
 mentioned above, there will be all sorts
 of sports, including baseball. steer ty- , ing, racing, broncho riding and dozeT
 other things the details of which arC
 not worked out. One sport that will b'
 novel and decidedly entertaining vii be a burlesque bull fight. There vii also be Indian dances, Mexican fan. dangos. native songs. etc.

A FLAGSTAFF INCIDENT
Two hexicans Who Would Be Rough

Last Friday night two Mexicans. full of booze and their innate spirit of dew iltry, engaged in an enterprise which would cost them a little detention at territorial expense. could they be ap- prehended, says the Coc1nino Sun. Mrs. Dawson, who. with her husband. occupies the parsonage near the Ad- ventist chapel, south of the railroad, was alone in the house Friday night her husband being employed with the railroad bridge gang so far from town that it was impossible for him to De at home nights.
 About II o'clock Mrs. Dawson. who had retired, was awakened by a knock at the doCr. She arose, and without unlocking the door, inquired who was there and what was wanted. There were two MeXiCans outside. who insist ed on coming in, but after some barley they left. Mrs. Dawson returned to bed, but was again awakened about ? a. m. by crashing at the back door. She sprang from the bed, and attempt ed to escape through the front door, but before she could reach the door two MeXicans broke in the door and seized her. They bound and gagged Mrs. Dawson, and, having q bottle of whiskey with them. sat down to have fun with their prisoner. Outside of the mental agony and fear, Mrs. Dawson says she suffered no further indignity

A GREAT TRUTH
How It Spread From Home to Home
 in Arizona

In every part of Phoenix; in the homes of the wealthy, in the humble abode of the man of toll, 'tis now a well-known fact-a great truth-that Doan's Kidney Pills have brought more comfort to backache sufferers and cured more sick kidneys than any medicine of modern times. Read this:
 Mrs. Ysabel Moreno, of 97 South Main St, Tucson, Ariz.. says: "I suffered more or less with my kidneys for near ly six years, indicated by pain through the arms, shoulders, across the small of the back and down through the loins. I knew it was of rheumatic tendency but what to do to stop it was a mys- tery. During the entire winter of 1902 I was miserable and constantly on the outlook for some means to check the trouble. Reading advertisements about people who had been cured by using Doan's Kidney Pills influenced me to go to a drug store for a box. I followed up the treatment by using a second and a third when the annoy ance ceased. I gave DOan's Kidney Pills a thorough test and I know from the results obtained that they can be depended upon"

SATIATED!

Tt has become, says The Court Jour nal, an affectation to decline to drink champagne. There must be hundreds of very young men who make it a rule to refuse it, for the sole reason that there is the suggestion of rumbustous past" in so doing.l
 l fear I cannot say with truth loathe the wine I loved in youth. still would like to feel, you know, Its fine eXhilarating glow; But while the youngsters pulses dance With nectar from the grapes of France, sit with ennui-haunted soul And play my lone ascetic role. watch with knowing glance and grim The bubbles winking at the brim But, when politely asked to drink, I like the bubbles, simply wink, And hint of boisterous days of yore, When magnums perished by the score; Of nights of revel, feast and noise, Such as would kill most modern boys! Thus, having set all eyes agog Over so desperate a dog, Whose lusty youths the sole defence For ostentatious abstinence, prove how prodigals decline On simple drinks like cowslip wine, Until at twenty-one. they drop To lemonade and ginger popl

SARAH sNooK's SECRET.
A Single Word Reveals It and All Who

 Next in number to the receipes for the banishment of warts, are the re- cipes for the attainment of long life. The philosopher who buys an annuity and resolves to have length of days is bewildered by the multitude and va riety of the means of reaching that end. Early to bed, late to bed; plenty Of exercise. none at all; no smoking allowed smoke all you please; water from the brook, the drink Of Israel's champion whisky in moderation; stick to a diet, eat what you like; avoid tea and coffee, swig tea and cof- fee freely; live on cereals. live on veg etables, live on meat or milk; be as regular as clockwork, be as irregular as Old Parr or the crankiest verb; you
 n find among the ecntenarians eX- amples of almost every system and schedule and want of them.
 We knew fine old fellow of 97 who used to preach to his grandchildren the necessity of avoiding Worry. Every rainy day he would walk on the railroad track. He was deaf as an ad der and his grandchildren used to do the worrying. Another patriach of our acquaintance has drunk hard cider out of a tin dipper, before breakfast, for years that outrun memory. Perversity CT genius; who knows?

 But the grand discovery has been made at last and the years of the whale or the yew arc now within reach of the wise and good. Mrs. Sarah Shook of St. Joseph Mo, was 103 the other dey. She walks a mile a day. Without spectacles she can see to read much better than most young folks of this myopic and astigmatic age. She is as sound as a bell, and why? What is her preservative? With what curious meat or cordial does she prolong her days and need no amendments to her constitution?
 Sarah Shook eats pie. Eats it early and often, for breakfast, luncheon, tea, dinner, supper and between meals. For three generations she has thrived on T youth. the companion of her middle life, the staff of her old age. If there are any older pie eaters. it is because they have eaten more pies.
 So everything brings us back to the praise of pie, that solid elixir of life, that fortifying mama of the strong, that builder of enduring nerves and brains.. pie. the strenuous and the staying. IL may have slain it's thou sands. Why should weddings live? The great and good and equal to it, it sustains, or is capable of sustaining for centuries.

One Treasurer Satisfied.
Declines an Invitation to Attend

giving it publicity, as it is of gen,
