THANKSGIVING SERVICES.

Thanksgiving Day was quite gene
rally observed in our town, Thursday.
Quite q number of establishments were
closed and general desire seemed to
pervade the community to comply in
some measure with the proclamation
of National and State Executives.
At the Methodist Church there was
union meeting, at least all denomin-
ations were represented in the fine
audience which assembled according
to custom. The large choir gave
some excellent music. The National
hymn America" was song by the en-
tire audience with the spirit and I'M
derstanding Rev. Arthur, of the
Presbyterian Church offered the open
ing prayer. Rev. Robt W. Vaughn,
of Morgan City, once pastor here, de.
lvered sermon replete with lofty
thoughts and patriotic sentiments, and
showed in most conclusive arguments
that our nation was the especial recip-
ent of Gods bounty and care. Mr..
Vaughn annihilated the pessimistic
theory that the world was growing
worse year by year as asserted by free
thinkers and proved conclusively that
and religion was widespread
md reaching all hearts in all lands to
n greater extent than ever before. Al
high tribute was paid to the American
in its endeavors to pre-
serve the peace of the world and in its
great missionary force to christianize
all lands, everyone present listened
with sustained interest to this inter.
esting sermon, which at times was
eloquent and majestic. After
The benediction regular ovation was
given Brother Vaughn by his many
friends who rejoiced to grasp his hand
,nce more.

LETTER TO 7. z. MORSE.

Dear Sir: The cheapest thing in
the way of sending anything over
the world is a postage stamp; aud
the cheapest way to shed water is
paint.
Not whitewash paint. Do you
happen to know-it don't belong TO
your business to know about paint,
you know--do you happen to know
that most of the makers of paint
stuff il ont with lime and clay and
sand and water and air?
They do stuff it out in the can /;
but on the house. They make
more gallons to sell or to buy ;
more money to paJ' for paint; more
money to pay for putting il on; a
good deal more money to pay for
pu ing it on; but 40 more beauty ;
more rust; decay disappointment ;
loss.
Devoe is yonr paint because it's
all paint, no sham, and full
measure.
Yours truly

THE FIREMEN's BALL.

1t any one wished to know Of tn,
popularity of Fire Co., No. 2, they
should have helped them in theil
Thanksgiving frolic, on, Thursday last
The crowd was as great as its
friends could desire, hardly standing
room, and as to dancing, you could
scarcely do more than whirl around
OF one foot. AS the old method Of
not charging ladies obtained, the
numerous chairs all around the large
hall were filled early in the evening
tthey may have been there all day J
while ladies who had come miles and
were tired almost to fainting had to
stand. in the crush. But the crowd
were happy and very good natured.
The browning of the elected Queen
was the event of the evening. There
was some delay, but at last the lovely
Queen, Miss Stella Renoudet in Right
Royal toilet of white satin and lace
came gracefully up the living aisle
formed by loyal subjects to the stately
music of the Pelican Band, everybody
was charmed. Mr. Porteus Burke
escorted the sweet young Queen to her
throne and in few well chosen re-
marks placed the brilliant diadem
upon her most brown curls. - The
selected King, Mr.. Clet Girard re-
ceived her graceously. The maids,
Misses Lode DeGeneres, Lilly Marin,
Lettice Decuir and Blanche Herpeche
were lovely in pretty white toilets
carrying garlands of sweetest blossoms.
Immediately after the coronation a
host of merry children came forward
with baskets and punches of flowers to
lay at the feet of the sweet young
Queen. Mr.. Burke gave short
sketch of No. 2. and its heroic work
for sweet humanity sake. There is
no pay for "our brave fire laddies,
they work for the good that they can
do. - The music was so excellent |
that it was almost impossible to keep |
from dancing even if you only had
room for one foot. The contest was
well conducted, the prize sharply
for, as there were so many
excellent dancers on the floor. Some
Of the best dancers were actually
danced out, so long was the contest,
but there was no doubt i'm the minds
Of the judges that Albert Decuir and
Miss Kate Migues were entitled to the
prize for graceful dancing and endur

Jared and served them The result
was considerably over
Lree hundred dollars, the beautiful

He Offers No Remedy.

There are many that believe that
Dubois, the originator of the Nor
mon propaganda, has selfish motives
in his efforts. Why has he SO long
allowed the state of affairs to exist
among the Mormons, for more than
10 years, as he asserts? Why has
he lain dormant SO long? Why has
he not seen light until now, and
why does he not point out the ex-
press remedy to the people? 1s he
going to disfranchise the Mormons?
Mr.. Dubois will point out no partic-
ular remedy in this campaign, but
two years from now the people OF
the state will be told that their only
salvation and mode of preserving
the purity of their homes, will be
through the election of legislators
who will return Mr.. Dubois to the
United States Senate. What ia up

ton of whether or not they desire

New Railroad Orders.

In the future enginemen and station
agents upon the Union Pacific system
will have q greater share of the respon-
sibility for the safety of trains than has
been the case in tine past.
There has been complete revisal of
the system by which trains are dispatch
ed and handled New orders have been
issued and while heretofore engineers
have proceeded upon the theory that the
track is clear ahead unless they are
otherwise informed, hereafter they will
assume that the track is not clear unleS
thev are informed by the dispatcher to
the contrary.
The new orders require station agents
TO keen a danger signal displayed at all
times of the day and night. When an
engineer approaches station he will
slacken speed and will whistle for or
d.rs If the track is clear the agent
will lower the danger signal ana tne
train will proceed to the next station
r. ORDERS have been received to hold the
train the danger signal will not DO lower
ed and the engineer must BRING ms
tram to a stop. If no orders have oeen
received for the train the agent mus.
not lower the signal. the engineer must
bring his train to STOP and must wait
a. ,ha station while the agent telegrapns
tn tbe dispatcher for instructions.
While it is admitted that the new sys'
tenn win result in s'me loss Of time y

collisions is practically done away with
The dispatchers, who heretofore nave
had the whole responsibility Of the safe
" of the trains upon their shoulders

THE zAPEDA APPOINTMENT
An Argument by the Opponents of
 Sheriff Cook.

Among the arguments which are be-
 ing used against the reelection of
 Sheriff w. w. Cook is this, that Frank
 D. Zapeda, killed a man, for which he
 was sent to the penitentiary. It may
 be stated, in the first place, that Za-
 peda was what is known as an outside
 deputy. Outside deputies usually do
 not have a great deal of business, and they are frequently chosen because
 there is no one else in the community
 who can be secured. But, at the time
 of his appointment, Zapeda stood high
 in the community about Agua Cali
 ente and Sentinel. Almost every man of prominence in both places had
 signed the petition for his appointment.
 The petition. by the way, though it
 was addressed to Sheriff Cook, was
 presented at the office before the be- ginning of his term. The following is a copy of the petition:
 To Hon. w. w. Cook, Sheriff elect of
 MaricOpa County, Arizona:
 We, the undersigned citizens and res idents of Agua Caliente precinct, Mari copa county, Arizona, hereby respect fully request the appointment of Frank D. Zepada as deputy sheriff of this precinct, knowing him to be a com petent man for the place and your | petitioners will ever pray. P. Christ
 man. A. L. Brown, George W. Vaughn, Reese Thomas, H. E. Badgley, agent | s. P. Co. and postmaster; H. A. Mo | Donald, Andrew Ramirez, R. IT. Loud | ermilk, O. B. Bloomer, William J. Sey- mour, J. T. Woods, B. F. Alsop, Her
 man L. rBaake. A.sG. Hutson. John w. | Cameron, G. w. Cameron, R. J. Dan ] iels.
 | At the time of the killing, and the Arrest of zapeda, he was holding the l positions of school trustee, road over seer and carrier of United States mails. He was therefore the servant of the | government, of the county. school su- perintendent and of the board of su- | pervisors, as we'll as the servant of | Sheriff Cook. If the sheriff is. there 1 fore, to be held responsible for his mis- | doings, that responsibility should be shared with Superintendent Fulton of
 the schools, the board of supervisors
 and the postoffice department of the | United States.
