Purchasers Want Machines Which Will Stand Trips Through
 The Country.

Automobiles may some day be so cheap that the humblest workingman can have one to go to and from his daily labor, but at present the manu- lecturers are deVoting their best eff forts to the more expensive machines, for which there is an increasing de- mand.
 Dealers who are entered for the an nual auto show, which begins at the Coliseum. February 6, declare the eX- hibition of horseless carriages will demonstrate to the surprise of the general public that autOmobilists, are clamoring for cars costing all the way from S2,500 to $5,000.
 Scores of $5,OOO machines are now being manufactured in the factories of this country, whereas all the automo- piles that were purchased at that price by the Americans q year ago came from France.

LEES EVER CHANGING SCENES
Son of the PhoraohS Who Has Trav-
 eled in Many Lands.

ShanZaTo ZienZa Saihaya. Q. prince of the royal family that presides over the destiEies of Egypt, and nephew of the khedive of that historic land, is tenn pOrarily visiting Phoenix and is a guest of the Occidental hotel. He is very plain and transformations person, is on a mission purely industrial in its nai- ture, and seeks no notoricty by reason of his royal connections. That his mother is a sister Of the khedive that rules over the land of the Pharaohs is no fault of his, and the fact is referred to in conversation only that he may be properly 'lOcated;" that the reason may be made clear why he is not an American, a Russian or a Chinaman by naturalization. for the latter. he practi- cally is by adoption and associon. His relationship to the khedive. or ken die,'' as the word is pronounced in his native land, is not a matter of special beast for the reason that the two claim but little admiration for each other and Saibaya's residence and business interests for forty years past have been mainly in China, remote from the land of his fathers. Further, his own life story is of sufficient interest to engage
 
 quaintance without the necessity of his standing in the reflected light of others.
 George David Lane, for that is what his name means translated into Eng fish and is the name he uses when wis iting English speaking countries, has lived a most romantic life. The world is his kaleidoscope, and he has seen from nearly every viewpoint all tEe notable changes that have taken place in at least two generations. This is his first visit to the United States, but with the rest of the footstCol he is as familiar as policeman with his favor ite beat. After living in nearly every civilized and semi country in the wc.rld he has settled down in Tien- Tsin. China, to grow up with the coun- try. That he has some standing there may be judged from the fact that for

 "The tendency is to do away with carriage shaped automobiles and make them long, after the French machines, with the motors in front and under hoods. Machines steer more easily when made in this way. With the mo- tor under the seat of the vehicle, the weight is thrown too much in the in front, the weight of the machine is more evenly balanced.
 Better material is wanted in all ma chimes. That is why prices have ad- Vanced. The demand for machines is so great that the factories cannot be- gin to supply them. They will be sev- ral thousand machines short of their orders during 1904"
 The exhibits of automobile supplies will show vast improvement in nearly every part of the machine.
 "A mechanic would readily note the difference in the quality in the parts used now and a year ago." said a sup ply man. T expect that the reason for the improvement lies in the fact that automobilists want machines that will stand rough usage.
 Trips through the country are com. mon now, and the wear and tear of machines that travel hummocky roads is great. Autoists are willing to pay good prices but they want machines they can rely upon-vehicles they know will last to their journeys end. Chicago Evening Post.

He is also somewhat incon- venienced by having some of his bag gage held at Nogales pending the ar rival of papers from Vera Cruz, his port of entry. Though he has seen little of the United States, he is well posted by reading and has had much to do with Americans in a business way. He is very favorably impressed with the country, and particularly such parts oft as he has seen.
 Asked his opinion concerning the war in the far east, he said his sympathies were with the Japanese, and he be- lieves the little brown men will do things to Russia that that nation never dreamed about. He Is familiar with conditions, thinks the Japs have the best end of the contest from a fighting standpoint, and in addition have right upon their side. Though he was really educated as a Russian he has discharg- ed his obligations to the country and his interests now l:e with the Chinese.
 It having been brought out in conver- sation that he was both an odd Fellow and a Mason, he was questioned some what concerning these orders in foreign lands, particularly in respect of Mas onry. His OddfellOwship membership is held in a lodge in South Africa and his Masonic membership is in a lodge in Algiers. He says that the often re- ferred to Chinese Masonry is in sub stance identical with that of other lands. In lodges among the educated ola while visitors al lands are not frequent. he has seen them admitted, and though the lan- guage was different they could follow the work very well. And again, among Chinese who could speak English lie has seen the work done in English as . compliment to such visiting brethren. Speaking of the age of Masonry, he says it undoubtedly originated in China; that he has in his library at Tien-Tsin the charter of Blue Hawk (meaning 'Good-luck Smooth'O lodge No. TIP. that is said to have existed 54.6S3 years ago.

Remains Laid to Rest.

Mrs. L. e. billy died at her resi-
dence on the south side Tuesday
at 3 O'Clock, aged about 36 years,
leaving a husband and daughter to
mourn her death. The deceased has
been i'll for the past year and has
been confined to her bed for three
months. Her death was due to lung
trouble and at the same time she suff-
cred much with inhammatory rheu-
matism which was the cause of her
system running down to the extent
that she could not overcome the
other and fatal disease. Her sis
ter, Mrs. Elliott, OF Fremont, Neb.,
and another sister, Mrs. VandeVort,
and her brother from Rockport,
Mimi, came last week and were
with her when she passed away
Monday evening Mrs. Dllly seemed
a little better. The deceased was a
lady very much admired and respect
ed by a large circle Of friends and
much sympathy will be extended to
the surviving relatives.
Impressive funeral services were
held over the remains OF the late
Mrs. L. II. Dilley at the residence on
the south side this morning, and a
large number Of friends were pres
ent to pay their last tribute to this
estimable lady. The services we're
conducted by Rev. H. S. wilkinson,
whose remarks we're of a tender and
sympathetic character. The music
was furnished by Mrs. Young and
Miss Corwin, Messrs Kratz and o.
son. Mr.. Kratz sang a solo at the
close of the services. The floral
tributes we're many and handsome.
and the flowers were prettily dlaped
over the lid OF the couch casket, while
beneath on the floor pansies and
sweet peas were strewn in great pro-
fusion. The following were the
body bearers: j. A. Jelly, Levi

BRooDING CAUSED SUICIDE
President of Farmers Bank, OF
Alexandria. Committed Suicide
by Shooting Himself

t. The town Of Alexandra was
thrown into a fever of excitement
Wednesday by the announcement
that Joseph Lunn had committed
suicide early in the morning. The
excitement was greater by reason of
Mr.. Lunn occupying the position as
president OF the Farmers bank, the
suicide leading to a suspicion that
there might be something wrong
with the bank. This, however, was
d~issipated at once when the circum-
stances surrounding the suicide were
made public. An interview with
the other bankers of Alexandria re-,
vealed the fact that the Tanners
bark was in the very best of inanc-
lal condition and that the suicide
was utterly foreign with anything
in connection with the bank.
The facts as a%scertained over the
long distance telephone late in tie
afternoon of Wednesday are s,lb-
stantlallv as follows: Some time ago
Mr.. Lunn has some transactions with
a real estate dealer in which the lat
ter disposed of a piece of land, the
commission for which amounted to
81 600. Some trouble occurred be-
tween Lunn and the dealer as to the
settlement which eventually termin-
ated in a lawsuit and judgement was
obtained for the amount. 1t was
stated that Lunn has brooded over
the case for some little time, but no
thong hit was given to the matter by
the members of the family. EARLY
Wednesday morning Mr.. Lunn went
to the granary to sharpen his scythe,
and he was followed thither by his
wife, who offered to turn the grind
stone. MIR. Lunn stepped into the
granary, presumably to get the
scYthe, when his wife was startled
by the report Of the gun. He placed
the end of the gun barrel in his
mouth and with a shingle pushed
back both hammers and he received
the two discharges. His head was
Flown to pieces and he was killed
instantly. 1t was a grewsome sight
which met the gaze Of the agonized
wife.
MIR. Lunn has lived IN the vicinity
of Alexandria for % years, and his
wealth is estimated at between
$50. 600 and $40. 900.
