The annual meeting of the Phoenix Real Estate board was held at the Ho- tel Adams last evening preceded by a banquet Covers were laid for nine teen which number included two in- vited guests Capt. J. w. Crenshaw, the commissioner of immigration and C. A. Van der Veer, secretary of the Maricopa county board of trade. MT. w. D. Fulwiler president of the board of trade and MT. l.. c. Hill the en- gineer in charge of the construction at Roosevelt dam were also invited guests of the board but were unable to attend. The menu was an inviting one consulting of several courses.
 Following the banquet the business of the evening was taken up and dis posed of by the election of E. B. O'Neill president; E. E. Pascoe, vice president; and A. E. Egly, secretary and trea- surer. These gentlemen with Dwight B. Heard, H. I. Latham and E.. A. Spaulding, comprise the board of di- rectors. Pecka Brothers were elected to a membership in the board.
 Several short talks were made by the members MT. Heard, the retiring president told of the work the board had accomplished during the past year and wished for his successor that the year to come would be even more pro- ductive of results. MT. Crenshaw told of his work during the past year thanked the board for suggestions

made in the past and assured his hosts that their advice was at all times appreciated. MT. Van der Veer told of the efforts and work of the Board of Trade during the past year and showed how that organization and the real estate men should be closely associated The advantages of street improvement was discussed and the work now being carried on by the city in this line was praised. R. H. Greene. explained the help the city would be glad to give property owners in improving their sidewalks and said gravel would be furnished any one who desired it for improvements, at actual cost.
 The most interesting incident of the evening however was the formulating of a plan for the forming of a 50.000 club for Phoenix with the date such a population would be attained set at 1915. For the purpose of conferring with the board of trade regarding the advisability of such a movement a committee consisting of J. Ernest Walker A. G. Austin, w. M. F'ickas, D. B. Heard and R. H. Greene, was named. The enthusiasm shown at last evenings meeting was such that it IS likely the board will in the future hold a similar meeting to the one of last night monthly.

DORIS THEATER TONIGHT.

Raymond Teal and his company of fun makers arrived in the city this morning over the Santa Fe and will tonight hold the boards at the Doris theater Since they appeared here sev- eral weeks ago, MT. Teal has taken his company swing around circuit of some ten towns, Tucson, Bisbee, Fl Paso, several in New Mexico and then back to here. In leaving Phoenix, he will play Prescott and then go to the coast and return again to Phoenix again in about month from the south. It must indeed be gratifying to MT. Teal the notices he has received from the press wherever he has been.
 On their present visit they appear with a complete change of program from their former appearance which no doubt accounts for the large ad- vance sale of seats for the attraction. Mr. Teal himself is a whole show, but when it is remembered that he has with him over ten other artists or truly high class ability interest in the event is in creased. Raymond Teal is always wei come to Phoenix.
 Alberta Gallatin is one of the most ambitious actresses on the American stage Naturally endowed with all the attributes of a successful actress, beauty, grace, wit and wonderfully great heart, she has graced them with years of classic association and care full study until there is not the slight est doubt in the minds of the most eminent critics of the country that in the very near future she will rank among the very small half dozen of the truly great women of the stage.

nARICOPA FARMERS
Wbat is Going on on George Brown $
 Reservation.

George E. Brown, who is in charge of the irrigation work as an expert on the Maricopa reservation, southeast of the city, spent yesterday in the city on one of his regular business visits. MT. Brown says the Indians at the reser- vation never had such d prospect for a crop as they have this year. Nearly 1,250 acres of the reservation have been planted by the Indians in wheat, and there remains but 150 acres to be sown The most of this acreage was planted the last of October and the first of November so that the lands planted had all the advantage of the recent rains. The result will be an excep- tional crop if something at present un- forseen does not happen.
 The fllods of last month gave MT. Brown great scare, and had it not been for great and hurried work, the day preceding the rise in the river, it is likely much of the land of the res ervation would have been washed away. As it is only about ten acres of the land was damaged and that not seriously. MT. Brown has always re- gretted more or less his inability to speak the Maricopa language, but he says it is probably just as we'll that he could not understand what his In- dian helpers were saying nor that they should understand what he was saying that day when out in the rain they were working with all their strength to turn the flood waters of their land onto the low lands and back towards the river.
 The Indian ditch was damaged and the work of repairing it will be begun again next week. MT. Brown has been associated with Indians for several years, but he says the Maricopas as a tribe, are a good, obedient, kind and honest sort of people. He will return to the reservation today.

"Eiredamp."

"Firedamp" and "afterdamp,"
words brought into terrible promin-
ence in many disasters in mines, pre-
serve the older English sense Of
"damp"-vapor, and especially nox-
lous vapor. Precisely where the word
came from philology does not know,
but the earliest existence Of its use
quoted by DR.. Murray's dictionary is
Cations (1S40)-"after the dragon
shall come goot and Their shall come
out of his nostrel a domp that shall
betoken honger and CRETE deth of
peple." Bacon is one Of the writer's
Of his time who speak Of the "damps''
Of mines. Damp" gradually came to
be applied to visible vapors, such as
evening mists, and the transition to
the sense of moisture Is obvious.
But in "damping down" furnace one
finds relic of the very damp" In
the sense Of "suffocate."

How Foolsoap Got Its Name.

Every one probably has wondered
why certain size paper, familiar to
all who write. Is called foolscap. AS
early as the year 1901 water marks
were employed by paper manufacture
ers to distinguish their products.
ne grade Of paper much in demand
during the middle ages, resembling
what we call foolscap and known by
that name, had for its water mark a
FOOLS head wearing a cap and bells.
The mark appeared on this grade Of
paper until the middle of the seven.
teenth century. when the figure Of
Britannia was substituted by the
english manufacturers. and other
marks by other paper makers. No
one has, however, changed the name
of the paper, SO we have to this day
the foolscap paper.

The Good Mixer.

Hes a good mixer" or HE isn't
good mixer" are expressions you
often hear. A good mixer" is sup
posed to be man who can associate
with people and make business. A

slowly, who minds his own business
and is not much of rounder. A man
who gives his business close attention
Is the best mixer" When people are
in need of a certain article they buy
where they can get the best and
cheapest-where conditions suit them.
When people are buying articles they
need they do not care whether the
dealer is "goodfellow' or not We
have never thought much Of the

BRACELET EMBLEM OF POWER
Afterward Il Was a Reward of Brav-
cry Shown In Battle.

In the most ancient period Of his
tory, the bracelet was an ensign of
royalty. In later times it has been
used in the East as a badge of
power.
The bracelet. of Rebecca (mentioned
In Genesis) weighed 10 shekels, or
about five ounces.
Among the ancient Romans the men
as well as the women wore bracelets,
but the latter never wore them till
they were betrothed.
Bracelets were at first properly mill
tary ornaments, or rewards, frequent
!y conferred among the ancients, by
generals and princes, on those who be-
haved CALAMITY in fight. They became
afterward arbitrary decorations, as
sumed at pleasure.
"The emblems." says Fosbroke, "of
supreme authority among the British
Kings were golden bands worn around
the neck, arms and knees. Ornament
ed bracelets of brass have been found
round the arms OF skeletons in British
barrows."
The northern people used to swear

that increases the height from one to
five inches and the chest glrth from

"It is amazing" said Prof. Crop the

DUST THE DEMON.
A Tussle with Coffee.

There is something fairly demoni-
acal in the way coffee sometimes
wreaks its fendish malice on those
who use 1t.
A lady writing from Calf. says:-
"My husband and /, both lovers OF
coffee, suffered for some time from a
very annoying form Of nervousness,
accompanied by most frightful head
aches. In my own case there was
eventually developed some sort of af.
lection Of the nerves leading from the
spine to the head.
II was unable to hold my head up
straight, the tension Of the nerves
drew It to one side, causing me the
most intense pain. We got no relief
from medicine, and were puzzled as
to what caused the trouble, until a
friend suggested that possibly the cof-
fee we drank had something to do
with 1t, and advised that we quit. 1t
and try Postum Coffee.
"We followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve, and in
a very short time both of us were
entirely relieved. The nerves became
steady once more, the headaches
ceased, the muscles in the back of my
neck relaxed, my head Strengthened
up and the dreadful pain that had so
punished me while used the old kind
OF coffee vanished.
"We have never resumed the use OF
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
every day as we'll as we did the
former beverage. And we are de-
lighted to find that we can give 1t
freely to our children also, something
we never dared to do with the old
kind Of coffee" Name given by Pos
tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum Coffee contains absolutely
no drugs Of any kind, but relieves the
coffee drinker from the old drug
poison.

THE NEWS IN NEBRA
THE STATE APPROPRIATION.
Money for Public Buildings May BE
Tied Up by Legislative Act.

LINCOLN-The supreme court
must decide whether building approp
riatlons made by the legislature lapse
under the constitutional provisions
providing for the lapsing Of approp-
riations for governmental running ex'
penses. The question will be pre-
sented to the court by the state board
of education for normal schools and
the board of regents Of the state uni
veFsity in an action to mandamus the
auditor to allow vouchers and draw
warrants for the payment Of claims in
advance Of completion of the build
ings for the unexpended balances OF
the building appropriations made by
the Legislature of 1903 for the Peru
normal school, the Kearney normal
school and the university. The
amounts involved are $4,000 FOR the
Peru library building, $4,000 for the
main building at the Kearney normal
and $4,000 for the administration
building of the university. All three
buildings are tin the course Of con-
struction, but, according to the law,
all appropriations made in 1903 lapse
August 81 of this year.
The board of regents recently in
structed that the unexpended balance
of the university building fund of 1908
be drawn on advance warrants, to be
held in trust until the building was
completed A voucher was presented
for the amount, but not acted on by
Auditor Searle. Today the state
board of education asked the auditor
to make ruling in similar PROPOSE
ton in regard to Kearney and Peru.
The board had fortified itself with an
opinion by the attorney general that
such proceeding would be legal.
Despite this opinion the auditor in
formed the board that he would not
take the responsibility of allowing the
claims until the work had actually
been completed and requested that he
be mandamused to do so, that the
courts might interpret the law.
The decision of the auditor places
the attorney general in a peculiar sit
uation, as in the mandamus proceed
ings he must appear for the auditor in
an action instituted by a state board
at his suggestion.
