Wilson yesterday completed a deal whereby a fine brick house and lot on
 East Van Buren street, just north of the Catholic church, was sold by E..

 a good residence district, with conven- tent surroundings, and close in. It was
 picked up as a bargain at $2,200. MT.
 Miller bought it as an investment as it i is already under lease for a couple of
 years yet.
 CALLED TO A DYING SISTER,
 Mrs. Frank Shirley left last night for
 Tucson to see her sister, Mrs. Tolliver, who came there about six weeks ago
 on account of her health. Mrs. TOlli- veT's home is at Rock Island Ills. She has for some time bee'I a sufferer of consumption and was sent west in the hope that she might be afforded some relief. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Shir- ley received a telephone message from Tucson saying that her sister could not live longer than twenty-four hours. AT THE OSBORN SCHOOL.-There i will be an interesting Christmas pro gramme at the Osborn school house next Friday night. It will be madc up of songs, recitations, etc, and the
 Mother Goose play will be presented.
 THE BIBLE READINGS-There
 was a larger attendance than ever at
 the Bible reading at the Baptist church last evening. Rev. pr. Walker spoke on "The Holy Spirit and the
 Christian Life" Tomorrow evening his theme will be Life in the Will of GOd-What it is and How it can be Lived" Dr. Walker is a remarkably well equipped Bible student and his ad- dresses are profoundly interesting and instructive. The womans missionary meeting of the Baptist church will be held at the home of Mrs. J. A. Elliott on North Second avenue, at 2:3O o'clock, on Friday afternoon. and pr. Walker will give a Bible reading.
 DAIRY CATTLE FOR MEXICO.-I Consul Pima was busy man yesterday attending to the formaHties incident to the shipment of three carloads of cat tie to Sonora, a part of them being consigned to Hermosillo and the rest to Guaymas. The cattle were mainly Holstein stock and will be used in Mexico for dairy purposes. Two car loads were shipped from Phoenix most of them from the Zimmerman herd and one carload from Tempe. The import CTS are Brady & Levin of Nogales. This is only the beginning of what eventually should prove to be a large business. While Mexico has lots of cat lle lHSIe IS put nIIle SrdQe QalTy | stock, and there is no nearer place than this valley, where high grade stock may be obtained in quantity. And the quantity here is not what it should be nor what it will be in a very short time. Mexico is a legitimate market for Arizona in this respect; a market Arizona breeders will no doubt make it a point to develop.
 GIFT TO THE LIBRARY.-John w. ! Owens post, No. 5, G. A R., has by vote donated to the public library d set of between 150 and 200 volumes of !! the history of the civil war. A few | volumes are missing from the set, hav- l ing been borrowed for reading by var | ious members of the post, or others, | and the post now desires that any per ! son having a volume should return it | that the set may be as complete as possible when turned over to the li- brary. It will be a valuable acquisition | to the library and of interest to all who care to study the details of the incl dents of those stormy times. The set was bought by Judge Gilbert D. Gray, | of private citizen, at an expense of : S200, and donated by him to the post. AS some of the volumes he'd been lost track of and others might be expected + to follow if the books were kept in a lodge room it was decided to place them where they would be carefully looked after and where they might be ]! of service to a greater number of peo- pie.
