NEWS OF WINSL0W
Arrangements for Looking Into the
 Ground for Oil.

Winslow, Ariz., July I.-(Special coI- respondence of the Republican, )-The machinery to be used in drilling for oil has arrived from California and MT. F. L. Van Epps, the contractor from California, also Messrs. w. E. Loan, k. w. Rich and F. w. Barrett, who will assist in drilling, are here. The oil derrick is TOW up about 75 feet high and the drilling will soon begin.
 The new ice plant is now going up rapidly. About 45 men are at work this week putting it up as rapidly as pos sible. It will be 75x175 feet and have a capacity of 75 tons per day.
 Winslow was favored with a good rain this week which, with the oil that has been used in sprinkling the streets, has settled every particle of dust and actually makes the new brick side walks seem quite a necessity now since we really have some mud again.
 A train load of melons from the Salt River valley passed through here re- gently and was rushed through on the main line in less time than the U. s. mail.
 The strike of the machinists and boil ermakers here and elsewhere on the Santa Fe system is still on.

LIVELY BALLOONING.

For the first time, while slowly ris- lhS' the balloon zigzagged between he lower currents, until at approximately 3,OOO feet it encountered a main sweep ot air, which at that height was follow ing the course of the valley below The horizon had been clear at start ing, and the impression was as we sailed along in the current that we should have fair passage, unless some cloud, not yet apparent, in our wake could ride after us and overtake us at a higher level, where wind veloci- ty is generally greater. Perhaps. therefore, we paid insufficient heed to murky veil ahead of us, which be- gan gathering and deepening and blot ted out the view. We were soon en- veloped in this gray curtain, and thus it's true appearance was lost to us; but at Newbury, our starting ground. large crowd was watching us enter q vast and most menacfng thunder-pack, and was wondering why we did not come down.
 The hrst real warning which we had of our predicament was flash of lightning close on our quarter answer ed by another on our other side, and almost before we could realize it we found we were in the very focus of a furious storm which was being borne on an upper wind, and a wild conflict was already raging round us west ward; there was the storm cloud slight ly above us hurrying to the east; and added to these there now descended a pitiless dOwh-draught of ice cold air and hail. We were doubtless in a cloud which was discharging lightning over wide area, each flash, however,

WHEN THEY MEET.
The Old Story of Going to Meet and
 Don't.

MT and Mrs. Spencer drove down town together yesterday morning They separated to go their respective ways and to meet at a certain hour at the entrance of a department store At the appointed hour MT. Spencer drove up to the doors on Nlcollct avenue and sat patiently waiting Also at the appointed hour. Mrs. Spencer sat down at the Sixth street entrance and waited Occasionally she made sallies toward the First ave nue entrance. For half an hour she circumnavigated but just missed the center of all this gravity-Mr. Spencer.
 At exactly half hour after the time set, MT. Spencer remembered that there was another entrance and drove around to it. At that precise moment Mrs. Spencer recalled the same thing and started out to the Nicollet avenue doors They met-but not until dinner time-when they still seemed to be looking for each other with distance between.

issuing from the immediate vicinity of the balloon, and the idea formed on the writer's mind was that many flash es were level-that is, as if from one part of the cloud to another. Any that reached the ground from our known position must have been at least a mile long.
 There was another idea forced upon the party, which was that they would be more comfortable and far safer else where; and when suitable opportunity occurred descent was made 10 earth' John M. Bacon, in Longman's Maga- vi

Backed up by over a third of century of remarkable and uniform cures, record such as no other remedy for the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women ever attained, the propTietors and makers of DT Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in legal money of the United States, for any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Pro- lapsus. or Falling of Womb which they cannot cure.

WAS AFRAID OF CARRIE.
Roosevelt Swore Correspondents to
 Secrecy and Passed Cigars.

President Roosevelt is commonly re- garded as an absolutely fearless man, and has proved his courage on many and divers occasions. But it appears that Lhere is one before where MT Roosevelt quails. He let slip that fact to gathering of newspaper men at the executive office on the day of his nomination. T hope" said the pres!- dent, looking about anxiously as he passed Q box of cigars when the glorious but not wholly unexpected news was flashed from Chicago, "I hope Carrie Nation won't hear of this.'
 That Carrie Nation will hear of it must be set down to a clear breath of confidence on the part of the recipients of the cigars. No doubt these gentle men felt that their duty to their papers was paramount, and their chance dis covery of the one thing that the prcsi- dent is afraid of was certainly worth publishing.
 MT. Roosevelt has faced many pcrils and trials without finching. He has fought the battle of honest government against Tammany toughs and heeIcrs Tn New York primaries; he has busted oronchos. roped steers. hunted bars, and catamounts, tackled bullies and bad men in the wild West; he has dealt hrnly with White House bores and cranks charged up San Juan hill. and raced four-hour speech by Senator Morgan on the canal question; but when 1t comes to another encounter with the eloquent Amazon of the Sun flower state he frankly says. no more Tor him. To what use Mrs. Nation will put this disclosure of her dread power over the president remains to be seen. -Milwaulee Sentinel.

A Turkish Love story.


Do the Turks love their women? Yes,
both in life and in death. In life, read
the love songs and in death the cpl
taphs to the beloved ones passed to the
silent realm.
1t is true the Turk goes to the Ara
bic, the Greek, the Italian, for love
songs, but he sings these to his lady's
eyebrows, and the story he tells of the
quality of his love rises to the purity
Mt times Of prayer:
One knocked at the beloveds door,
and voice answered from within,
"Who is there!'
Then he answered, ut is II
Then the voice said, This house viii
not hold thee and me-"
And the door was not opened.
Then went the lover into the desert
where there is nothing but Allah, and
tasted and prayed in solitude.
And after a year he returned and
knocked again at the door.
And again the voice asked, "Who is
there"
And he said, sit is myself"
And the door was opened to him.

There is no reason why a dromedary

gentle and delightful, never noisy or

in the very air, and even the poorest
and meanest seem strangers to de-
preston or gloom. ColOrs like the
glow of jewels flash in and out
through the shifting throng, which is
made thus vivid with the lovely ma

gaily painted parasols; while like a
soft accompaniment to the scene. the
sound of the quaint kuitar or shami-
sen is heard always and everywhere.
Cleanliness counts for more than
goodness in far Japan, and at least
the poorest bathes at least twice a
day. In Toxic alone there are be-

baths, and every house has it's own
bathroom. In the villages, or out in
the country, if there are no public
or private bathrooms, the peasant
never hesitates to take his tub out
of doors.-Montreal Herald.
