A COMMERCIAL CENTER
The South Western Company of Los
 Angeles Moving to Nogales.

Nogales, Ariz., Jan. 4.-(Special cor respondence of the Republican)-The Southwestern Commercial company of Los Angeles, capitalized at $5, ,000 900, which has a branch office in this city, has decided to move its general offices to Nogales. Early in 1903 the South western established itself in this city by the absorption of the Arizona Com mercial company and since that date it's business has expanded throughout Arizona and Sonora, Mexico, to such an extent that it was deemed advisa ble that the business be directed from this point. This city is becoming a great commercial center, and this move of the strong Southwestern company will doubtless be followed by other estab- Ashments in the very near future.

MATHEMATICS AND MEMORY
The Performances of Boy Known 1T
 Phoenix.

There is a young man in the east whose performances with figures and whose memory is attracting a great deal of attention. His name is Arthur Griffith, and local interest is lent to his work by the fact that he has relatives in Phoenix. A cousin, Dero Griffith, was formerly a carrier for the Republi- can and, by the way, though that has nothing to do with the story, one of the best carriers The Republican ever had. He himself is an unusually bright boy with head for mathemat- ics.
 Of the work of his cousin the Repub- lican-Register of Galesburg Qlls.) says:
 "Mr Griffith halls from Milford, Ind, and is known throughout the country as a prodigy in mathematics. He. also has some acquaintance in Galesburg. MT. Griffith is a puzzle to the college professors and to the people generally. He asked for a piece of pa per and then he wrote on it a long line of figures. He wanted some number put under it, and he was accommodat- cd. T will now give you the product, ' he said. He wrote that answer with astonishing rapidity. The writer think ing there was some trick in the number Mir. Griffith first wrote, then put down a long row of figures with other fig ures underneath. The man with a mind for figures wrote the product very quickly. In both cases the result was carefully tested and found correct. Mir. Griffith explained that he per formed these examples by means of mUltiples, but the mystery to the com mon man is how he can retain the fig ureS in his mind. In addition he takes three or four columns in his mind.
 By giving him any year, month and date. he can tell within five seconds the day of the week it happened on He remembers every problem he works and the answers to each one. He can watch a freight train with 100 cars pass, and after it all gets by he can tell the name and number of each car on that train in regular order as they went and remember them a month. There are several other things equal to all these that Griffith can do in his line. He has been at this work for the last twelve years, never made a mis- take, never was stuck by anyone for longer than forty seconds working any GNdlllp4e gwen HILL 4 ISW days ago ne was in Chicago giving one of his en- tertainments before the Y.

While the Jury Was Out
BY WILLIAM FREDERICK DIX.
Copyright by S. S. Mcclure Coz

The mid-morning Colorado sun
beat down upon a restless little group
of men on the steps of the Fort Nor
ton Court House; upon the dusty cot
tonwood trees growing dispiritedly on
each side of the road that stretched
away from the little sand square to
become, a few hundred yards below,
the main street OF the town; and upon
the tin roofs of the tWo-Story brick
or frame stores on each side of it.
The jury had been out over night,
and although it was 10 o'clock in the
morning had given no sign. The pris-
oner had not yet been brought up
from the County jail nearby, and
the group of men directly interested
in the proceedings We're sitting and
lounging about the steps, smoking and
carrying on dcsultory conversation.
The district judge, sitting on the top
step, was an Eastern college man,
about 40 years of age, once an athlete,
