THE ABSENT MINDED MAN
He's Always Breaking Gut Somewhere
 in New Spot.

There are several absent minded men in Phoenix and some good stories have been printed about some of them from time to time. Here are a couple of incidents about one man. though. that have never been published and they are too good to be kept secret any longer.
 The gentleman in question is in part nership here with his brother and some time ago he was summoned to Prescott to see a man on business. When he arrived there he forgot the name of the man he went to see. who was a stranger to him. He wandered around town for an hour or so but could not think of the name. so in de- spair he wired his brother in Phoenix inquiring who it was he had gone to Prescott to see. His brother answered as follows: You went to Prescott to see - - Your name is
 - and you live in Phoenix. Don't lose this message"
 The other incident occurred the night of the Maricopa club ball. He attended that function. Returning home he was in the act of removing a pump that hurt his foot, when the tel ephone bell rang. He immediately grasped the trumpet with his left hand. holding the shoe in his right hand. The other party had a terrible time trying to understand the replies to his questions and began to abuse the telephone when the subject of this story happened to notice that he had been talking into his shoe all the time instead of into the telephone.
 The story is going the rounds of the 400 and nobody seems to have made public the Eame of the man the joke is on. It is understood that Henry George has offered to buy for anybody who will tell him who it was.

In announcing the engagement
of Mr.. Bob Smith and Professor
Bernhart for a one nights's en-
tertainment at the opera house
Tuesday night. the Columbus
Riflemen do so conscious of the
fact that their entertainment will
prove satisfactory in every re-
spect to the public.
Messrs. Smith and Bernhart
come with the best of recommen-
dations, Mr.. Smith as an imper-
senator and comic lecturer. and
Prof. Bernhart as a violinist.
| OF Mr.. Smith the Meridian
Press says: From the recesses
of the hall rather mischievous
face presented itself, perched
upon a slender neck, supported
by narrow chest which rested
upon pair of slender legs.
This was no other than Bob
Smith, whose humorous remarks
so enraptured the audience that
it was with difficulty the speak
er completed his address. Pro
lessor Bernhart has made an i'm
preston wherever he has APP
peared and his wonderful playing
has won an enyiable place in the
musical world.
The entertainment Tuesday
evening will be supplemented
with songs and music by local
talent. A male quartette will APP
pear and render songs and
sketches, while some of the best
amateur musical talent of the
city will perform. The enter
tainment is given for a cause
that the people of Columbus are
particularly interested in, the
Colum bus Rifemen, and a large
audience should be present.
Electric fans have been put up
for the occasion and the opera
house put in first class condition.
The price of admission is 80
cents.

ing will begin just as soon as the

ment have been placed and the

managed by Messrs. Love and
Steen. Mr.. Ben Love has been
secretary and treasurer of the
Tom bigbee Mills for a number
of years and is familiar with the
rope and yarn industry and

The people of the Aberdeen
Group Association have long
despaired of securing relief from
the unjust, discriminative and
extortionate rates applied to
them by the railroads, IN com-
parison with other places,
through the medium of the
courts established for that pur-
pose. The late and lamenled
Wednesday, com bination Of
com missioners came to this city
and promised reliefat a meeting
held but after that they march
ed down the hill again and the
people here went before the u
S. Railroad Commission. That
was few years ago. In the
meantime the company has ap-
piled it's stand and deliver policy
all along and the people like
Jones have paid it.
The decision from the Inter
state Commission was given out
the past week. From the special
below it seems that the Aberdeen
Group has lost, then it seems
that they have won. Well we
will give the Washington special
and you can take any side of the
report you want. No matter
what favorable feature is mem
toned by the commission the rec
suit will be the Aberdeen Group
will continue to pay the rates
imposed by the Southern. The
relief is IN the building of the
road to Aberdeen. The special
under date of Thursday from
Washington is as follows.
Commissioner Yeamans TO-
day announced the decision of the
Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion in the case of the Aberdeen
Group Commercial Association
VS. the Mobile and Ohio Railroad
Company. The defendant car
rier is justified in making lower
scale of charges on freight from
St. Louis, East ST. Louis and
Cairo, Ill, to Mobile and Nerd
ian than for the shorter distances
to Tupelo, Aberdeen, Columbus
West Point and Starkville bE
actual and controlling competi-
ton. which creates substantial.
dissimilarity in the circum.
stances and conditions affecting
transportation. The defendants
rates between points mentioned
are not found to be just and reo-
sonable as q whole nor, ou the
other hand to be altogether uu-
reasonable: but upon facts of the
case it's rates upon grain and
grain products are unreasonable.
unjust and unlawful and should
| be reduced.
