The Bridge Was Burned.

Wednesday evening just as the
south bound passenger was pulling
into the yards at Jerome Junction,
the bridge at the south end of the
yards was discovered to be on fire.
The north bound freight was on the
bridge at the time and every effort
was made to stay the progress of the
flames but without avail. The freight
train was cut in two and half of it left
on the track south of the bridge and
the other half was pulled into the
yards.
A stub train was made up in Pres
colt and went to the scene of the acct
dent to which the passengers, mail
and express we're transferred and the
train reached here about two O'Clock
this morning.
Today's north bound train arrived
on time but another transfer was made
at the burned bridge. A force of
men was set to work Immediately re-
building the bridge and it is expected
to have it completed by seven O'Clock
this evening in time for the south
bound passenger train to cross it.
In consequence of this accident
there has been no freight arrive from
the north today. 1t is stated that this
bridge has caught fire a number of
times, but being SO near the station,
the fire has always been discovered
before in time to prevent the loss of
the bridge.

Advice Is Sensible.

In the May Delineator there is a
paper by Lille Hamilton French
which contains much sensible advice
to mothers of manageable sons, and
to mothers-in-law. The following par
agraph on the antagonism that is fos-
tered between boys and girls in child
hood is worth quoting:
&" Just like a boy or just like a
girl, one or the other is perpetually
told, and always in the way of IeprOach.
When the boy displays an undue feel
ing, some one says to him: Your
mother ought to put you in petticoats.
When the little girl tries to throw a
ball, she is told that the boys will
laugh at her. The war of the sexes
beigns then and goes ceaselessly on.
Why should these things be so? Boys
and girls are in this zorld to grow up
together, to live together, to take
their places side by side, as parents
and as guides to the generations COM
ing after them. You, perhaps, are
afraid to say so to your children !;
afraid of putting ideas into their
heads You find it easier to leave
them to be taken unawares by newly
awakened emotions. which plunge
them into Inatrimony before they
even know what its responsibilities
entail, leaving them, as unhappy
married people, to founder away, as
best they can, out of their own mis-
takes. -

GOOD REPORT
FROM OLD MESA
Gold Mines on Big
Bug Greek.
President Ed. Block Returns From
Visit to the PrOperty-Near-
ing the Big Rich Ledge.

Ed Block, president of the Old Mesa
Gold company, has just returned from
a trip of inspection to the company
properties at the head of Big Bug
creek, and reports that work is pro-
crossing in a very satisfactory manner.
The cross cut tunnel which is being
driven to catch the Old Mesa gold
ledge is now into the mountain GAO
feet. 1t is expected that this rich
ledge will be encountered in the near
future. In doing this work they have
discovered four we'll defined blind ifs
sure veins, one of which is fifteen feet
wide and will be explored after the
main ledge has been reached. The
chances of this making a great gold
mine are certainly very good. The
large amount of gold that has been
mined from near the surface in this
property indicates that at depth it
will make an exceptionally good
mine. The progress of this work is
being watched very closely by a great
many people, all Of whom are of the
opinion that this tunnel will open a
great property.

Narrow Escape of BattIeship.

An associated press night telegram
from Pensacola, dated April IA, gives
the following graphic account of the
explosion on the battleship Missouri
and of the narrow escape of the vessel
and men from destruction:
That the newest battleship of the
navy, the Missouri, had a narrow es-
cape from being blown to pieces by
the explosion of her magazines, and
also being beached, came to light to-
day. Captain VIM. Cowles prevented
the latter when the vessel was within
fifty yards of the beach by giving or
ders that the ships course be changed
and Chief Gunner's Mate Monson
saved the ship and the lives of over
600 men by jumping into the open
magazine and closing the door behind
him.
1t is stated, though not by the off
GERS of the Missouri. that when the
officers heard the explosion in the
turret and saw the fire leaping through
the top they realized that the maya
zine would be next to explode and
headed the ship for the beach intend
ing to beach her if possible before the
explosion. Captain Cowles quickly
stopped the plan and put the ship
back to sea.
When the first explosion occurred in
the turret, the men in the handling
room knew in an instant what had
occurred. The big magazine door
was open and standing against it were
four charges of powder. without a
moments hesitation Gmner's Mate
Monson showed these aside, and jump
ing into the magazine closed the door
behind him.
The magazine was flooded with wa
ter and when the men opened the door
they found Monson barely alive, the
water having reached to his neck.
The damage to thes battleship is
much greater than was at first stated.
In addition to the large amount of
ammunition ruined by the magazine
being flooded, which will amount to
thousands of dollars, the after turret
is badly injured, the top being burn
ed away and all the brass work melted
in the side. The hoist is a charred
mass and the mechanism of the guns
is completely ruined. 1t is estimated
that the damage caused by the explo
sion will reach $50, 600.
The total loss of dead now numbers
thirty two, one man having expired
last night and two men today. 1t is
hardly probable that other deaths will
occur.

Hearst in the Role of MOgan.

\ telegram from St. Louis of date
of April IL says that, through the re-.
fusal of st. Louis hotel keepers to sell
all the space in three taverDs to Will
lam R. Hearst, delegates to the demo
cratic national convention in July and
others attracted by the event who do
not desire to be guests of Mr.. Hearst
will stand chance of being accom-
modated. If the original program had
gone through there would have been
little room left in St. Louis for any
except Hearst delegates and Hearst
supporters.
AS things stand there is no parallel
in the history of national political
conventions for the plans that have
been perfected by the Hearst presi-
Dental bureau. Hearst has engaged
quarters sufficient to house an army
His delegates and shouters are to be
entertained roomed and fed at his ex-
pense. 1t will not cost anyone who
comes to st. Louis to vote or root for
Hearst anything except his time so
far as can be learned.

Rapid Work on Bridge.

Foreman Tom Porter, of the bridge
force of the S. F. P. Il P. railroad did
good quick work yesterday in the re-
building of the burned bridge at Je-
rome Junction. When the passengers
on the north bound train were
transferred across the ravine about
noon, the mud stills for the new struct-
ure were not yet in place, and man
could have had good big wager from
many of the passengers that the south
bound train would not pass over the
bridge last night, much less on time.
To the contrary the train passed ovel
the bridge and was not delayed a min
ute. The rapidity of the work in it:
construction can be realized when il
is stated that the bridge is 105 feel
long and twenty two feet high anC
Mr.. Porter and his men had to b'
brought in from the P. Il E. road anC
taken out there and yet in just about
twenty four hours from the time the
fire started the new bridge was com
pleted ready for traffic.

COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to dc
their proper work.

At the Planters hotel Hearst ha;
three full floors reserved for the con.
vention period of six days and be
tried to rent the entire hotel. One
of the Hearst agents offered to remun.
crate the management to the amount
OF several thousand dollars a day, but
the management refused to consider
the proposition on the ground that il
expected to be in business after the
convention.
Finally it agreed to place the
eighth, ninth and tenth floors at Mr..
Hearst's disposal for the convention.
There are fifty rooms to a floor, so
the Planters reservation aggregates $50
rooms.
AT the New Jefferson hotel, close
to the convention ball, where the
headquarters of the national commit
tee are to be, the Hearst agent wanted
to r serve five entire floors. The man
agement refused the request. But
Mr.. Hearst did succeed in reserving
ninety two rooms, occupying two
whole floors and the major part of a
third.
At the Southern hotel, where the
floor space is measured in acres, the
agent would have been satisfied with
single floor, but on pretense of hsv-
ing to attend to prior applications he
was turned away.
The cost that will attach to the rem
tai of rooms alone gives an inkling of
the expense Of the Hearst campaign.
Exclusive of what the delegates and
shouters eat, and of the bills they
otherwise incur, Mr.. Hesrst's hotel
bill will amount ito $500 day. The
Hearst campaign, by its prodigality,
has staggered some of the democratic
national committeeman.

PhiIiOn's Spiral Tower Act.

Among the thousands of different
acts performed for amusement of the
public, by daring and merry perform
ers, probably one of the most seHsa-
tional and at the same time beautiful
acts is the spiral tower act, as per-
formed by Achilli Philion.
The immense tJwer upon which be
gives his thrilling act is erected right
on the street within plain view OF
the thousands of people that will con-
gregate to witness it.
The tower is fifty feet in height,
and twenty two feet in diameter.
Standing on large globe be so pro-
pels it with his feet that be mounts a
spiral roadway to the dome of the
tower. There are no guards on the
side of the tower, and the artist car
ries no balancing pole.
Upon his arrival at the top be ex-
pertly guides the ball out on to a
five inch cable. Travelling on this
cable to a distance of about fifty feet
he returns by rolling the ball back
wards, stopping the ball at any place
be desires and giving exhibitions of
hand standing, etc., on the ball, per-
forming some of the most perilous and
difficult feats.
During the time the act is being
accomplished, myrisds of incandescenE
lights, throw a brilliant glow over
the scene.
Returning to the top of the tower
be makes ready for the descent and
here an effect is produced which
makes a fitting climax to the exhibit
ton.
An electric current ignites mines
of shooting stars and rockets and
roman candles, which completely sur
round the spiral frame with millions
of colored sparks. Through this the
performer rolls the sphere to a
triumphant finish.
This act is Philion's own cOncep-
tion, and is copyrighted and protect
ed by law.
He will appear here during the big
Prescott Carnival beginning Monday,
May 2, as one of the big. free acts by
the Nat ReIss Southern Carnival Co.,
which will give two performances
daily throughout the week.
This act as a drawing power is sec
ond only in point of daring to the
great Diavola in his death defying
loop the loop act, and taken both to-
gether are worth going hundreds of
miles to witness, and will tend to
bring thousands of people to Prescott
during carnival week.
