WHEN KlMBALL WAS YOUNG
A Bit Of Remlnlcence From the "Red
Front" Warehouse


When the warehouse which j. o.
Loft has just torn down was complcl-
ed in the summer of 1883 it was one of
the best built and commodious struct-
ures on the business street of the
town, and, as was customary in those
halycon days, it was thought best to
dedicate it with a dance ON the large
and smooth new floor. And a dance
in those days meant that everybody
in town would be there, including
every business and professional man
in the burg, not forgetting Il dozen or
fifteen land agents-wlvcs and sweet
hearts, which for good looking
bunch had everything faded this side
of the Mississippi
Now, Little Nike was in town
that night and about the time the
guests began to gather at the new
building and the orchestra to tune up,-
the we'll known cowboy and all around
bad man in these parts was sittiog on
his little black COW horse IN front of
Col. Leavitt's bar (now an old shack
next tu the Dakopolis) filling up with
tirewater and preparing to make IL
night Of it.
Along about ten O'Clock, when the
dance was at it's height. and dozen
sets forming on the floor, and one Of
the master of ceremonies calling ont
zone more couple this way" the com.
pany was startled by tbs sudden ap-
pearancc OF an apparition coming up
the front steps and into the wide open
front doors. 1t was Little Mike" nn
his intelligent pony. Into the room
he came, the little black obeying the
slightest touch of the rein ON his neck
and never paused until he had halted
in the middle of the floor. Taking off
his sombrero, the daredevil rider
made a most profound bow and sang
out:
Here's your 'tother couple, mister"
CONSERVATION seized most Of the
guests, but before ''Little Mike" could
make any more grandstand plays, 1.
y. Weeks 1--WE think it was he) and the
writer of this walked up to the pony's
head, turned HIM around and escorted
the unbidden guests out cf the doors,
across the sidewalk and into the
street. Little Mike" never spoke,
but as soon as he had struck the pike,
touched spurS to his pony, let out an
| ,f,,l
tearing down the street, firing at
every jump, and was never. seen in
| E.imball after.

Taught the Old Man Something

Iowa State Register:T Two sons of Dan
Leonard, a farmer of Taylor county,
taught their father valuable lesson
last year in raising corn. The father
has not been careful about seed corn
but last spring the boys, against the
fathers advice, paid So a bushel for
seed corn. On the 35 acres planted by
them the corn averaged u bushels pei
acre, while there fathers corn aver
aged 35 to 40 bushels. Now the old
gent is willing that they should pay
$40 a bushel for their seed corn If they
want to.

Help the Editor Out

Atchinson Globe: A man will play
billiards half the night at 25 cents a
game and drink 15-cent whiskey every
ten minutes without expecting any
part in the management OF the saioUn.
But if he pays cents week for a
newspaper he thinks he ought to have
some something to say as to its policy.

The Los Angeles Examiner has discovered a way of accomplishing immense good for the southwest, and has evidently laid hold of the great task in a way commensurate with the opportunity. The idea is the issuance of it's Anniversary Edi- tion, to be out December IT, as the greatest advertisement the south west has ever had, and to place it through the east with the aid of the thousands of agents of the Hearst papers. To this end it has em- ployed the best writers and artists to be had, and the publication will be work of art and a storehouse of information presented in most attractive and readable form. It will be mailed to any address by the Examiner on receipt of 1Oc.

ARIZONA POSTOFFICEs
Healthy Increase in Receipts Over
 Last Year

The annual report of the auditor for the postoffice department has just been issued, showing a resume of the business of the respective postoffices throughout the country for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1905. A comparison of the figures, showing the business of the third class offices in Arizona with figures for the same class of offices during the preceding year shows that the gain in general postal receipts made by Arizona during the year ending June 30, 1905, was $9 972, the total business of the third class offices during the last year being $176,- S27.
 Of the Arizona offices, Tucson had the largest total increase in receipts; Globe was the next in or der: then Douglas, and Phoenix fourth in total amount of increase. The largest ratio of increase was Globe, of whose $S,394 receipts, $2,173 was increase during the year. Followina are the figures showing the receipts of all the third class postoffices in the territory for the fiscal years 1904 and 1905, ending June 30:

THE TERRITORIAL FAIR
To Be Held at Phoenix, Decem-
 Der 18th to 3Oth
Vernon l.. Clark. Superintendent.

Vernon l.. Clark. Superintendent.
 On account of the heavy rains causing floods in the Salt and Gila rivers and interfering with the trans portation lines it was necessary tc postpone the fair, and holiday week was decided upon as the best time as this would give every one an op' portunity to take an outing and visit the capital city.
 The railroad companies have shown their deep interest in the success of the fair by making the low rate of II cents per mile each way, and this will insure a big at. tendance.
 The miners drilling contests for the championships of Arizona prom ise to be we'll filled. The usual rules will apply: S-pound hammers in the double contest and 4-pound in the single, with seven-eighth steel in both. Mir. Thomas Deyine of Bisbee will be in charge of the contests, and he is thorougly famil- far with the manner in which they should be conducted.
 Various exhibits are being re- ceived for the fair. many having been shipped before the date the postponement was announced. The United Verde mine exhibit, in charge of MT. H. R. Brown, has been received and will no doubt be an attractive exhibit. Several of the counties have also sent their educational exhibits.
 The rains interfered with the completion of the fair buildings and grounds, but with the delay caused by the postponement everything will be ready.
 Remember the new dates-De- cember 25 to 30, and don't forget to boost the fair.

skeletons found some years later told the story of their fate.

| skeletons found some years later told the story of their fate.
 In 1878 miner on his way from California to Arizona, thought he could shorten the route by going through San Gorgonia pass. He lost his way and becoming bewil- dered climbed to the top of little hill. He found it, to his astonish. ment, covered with quartz and free gold, and filled his saddlebags. He reached Los Angeles, where he fell sick and was attended by Dr. De- Courcey, to whom he told his secret and gave $2OO0 of his gold. They were organizing an expedition when the miner, overcome by the excite ment, suffered a relapse and died. Dr. DcCourcey moved to Yuma and spent the best part of his life in vain search for the famous ledge.
 Since that time many have gone forth, none to return successful, some to return not at all. Among these last was Tom Cover, a wealthy Riverside man, who made trip after trip into the desert, and finally made one from which he never came back. He was an uncle of Chas. A. Cover, formerly in the drug business here in Williams. Charley has always taken much in- terest in the lost mine because of the fate of his uncle, and has thought a number of times of or ganizing party to go in search of the mine, but as yet has not made up his mind to do so, not being over-anxious to share the fate of his uncle.
 The Southern Pacific agent at Flowing Wells, on the desert, was the last man to receive direct evi- dence in regard to the hills of gold. One night an Indian squaw knocked at his door. She had lost her way on the desert and while wandering around had found the small hills and gathered gold thereon, which she showed to the agent.
 Thus all the tales of the Pegleg agree in several important particu- lars. There are always three little buttes. They are always said to be located about three days travel from Yuma and about one day's travel from Carrisa creek or San Felipe canyon.

No Statehood

F. M. Murphy, last Sunday. tele- graphed the Phoenix Republican as follows from Washington:
 It is the opinion in we'll informed circles here that it. will be imposs- ible to pass a statehood bill this session admitting Arizona and New Mexico az one state, and that it will be certainly impossible to pass such a bill without giving the peo- pie of Arizona the oportunity of voting on it separately.
 The citizens of the territory should not be fooled and alarmed by the statements issued and in. spired by Senator Beveridge. All the members of the Tawney party who visited the territories last fall are working hard against joint statehood, and it is believed that the Hamilton bill will be killed in the house by republican n votes alone.

ALARMED OVER
POSSIBLE REVOLT

NEW YORK. June 2l-The uprising
against the new rates of the Royal
Aroanum has gone far beyond the con-
troll OF the Supreme council and whe n
the executive committee of that body
meets in Boston one week hence they
will listen to protests from all over
the country. Representatives of the
council everywhere will be at the
meeting of the executive committee
and urge a reconsideration of the new
ly-adopted schedule. A referendum
plan will be submitted. calling for the
abolishment of the new rates and re.
turn to the sy stem of assessments.
There is no denying that the Su-
I preme Council officers are alarmed by
the revolt in the organization. They
expected few complaints, but did not
look for the widespread revolt that has
happened since the publication of The
new tables. In every subordinate ooun-
oil that has held meeting since the
Supreme Council meeting in Atlantic
City there has been raised an objection
to the new rates and resolution pass
ed calling for their Teoonside ration.
Unless the executive committee recon-
mends the abolishment of the new
rates, endless litigation is sure to fol-
low. Several of the most prominent
councils in this State have adopted
! resolutions and set aside funds to fight
the matter in the courts.

Will Assign Camp Sites
At TIT. Gretna Friday

The regimental quartermasteIs of
the Third brigade of the National
Guard of Pennsylvania will meet the
brigade quartermaster at Mt. Gretna
on Friday to be assigned camp sites
for the annual camp of the brigade
there from July to July 16.
The soldiers of the brigade will leave
for camp on Friday, July Z, and will
do camp duty until Monday. July 10.
when two days march will be the
innovation of this years camp.
The line of march has not as yet
been selected by General J. p. s. Cob
In, commander of the brigade. but it
is known that the soldiers will leave
camp on Monday, to be gone two days.
En- route they will be equipped with
shelter tents and will proceed as if in
pursuit of the enemy. The camp kitch-
ems will be of the movable CRATE kind
and will be set up where the various
regiments of the brigade halt for food
and rest.
Unusual interest in this innovation
is manifest among the mem bers of the
State Guard this year. Returning from
the two days march the soldiers will
go into the regular camp at Mt. Gretna
and prepare for the inspections which
will take about three days.

iron M0ULDERS
ANNUAL PICNIC

The picnic season was opened Sat-
urday by the annual outing of the Iron
Moulders' Union of Danville and fate
had decreed that the first picnic of
the season in point of attendance,
weather conditions and in full measure
of harmless enjoyment should be
well-rounded and unqualified success.
II stove works in all departments was
shut down, all the employees taking
day off. The greater number probably
joined the moulders at DeWitt's Park.
The day was quite warm. which made
the cool breezes which at all times
play through the Park all the more en-
joyable. The entire day although there
were fully eight hundred persons on
the grounds, was marked with the
utter absence of accident or occur.
renee of any sort to mar the pleasure.
The local lodge of moulders, some
seventy strong, headed by the Wash
ington drum corps, about 10 80 O'Clock
marched to the park in a body. A
general invitation had been rendered to
the public and the crowd soon follow
ed. About noon the Park presented a
pretty scene. Each family with speci-
al friends invited, or two or more
families grouped together occupied the
innumerable tables scattered about the
grove. 1t was evident from the
scores of we'll filed baskets taken to
the Park and BY the time spent around
the tables that dinner was by no means
the least important feature of the day.
In the afternoon dancing began,
which continued until late Saturday
evening. the Iron Moulders and their
friends being the first to enjoy the
large dancing pavilion. In addition to
the dancing the swings and other
similar devices for entertaining the
younger element we're kept moving.
Next to dancing, however, the merry
go-round was the attraction and its
capacity. big as it is, was sorely taxed
to accommodate the waiting crowd.
The game Of base ball scheduled be-
tween the Danville Club and Wilkes
Barre could not be pulled off owing to
the non-arrival of the Wilkes Barre
team. A game of base ball was play
ed between the Danville A. A. aud the
Stove Moulders' team. In order to add
to the interest of the game the
two batteries were exchanged. Edgar
and McCloud of the Danville A. A.
went to the Stove Moulders and Walk
er and Mintzer of the Stove Works
played with the A. A. The latter
team won out on a small margin.

PAVEMENT At
THE COURT House

The matter Of sidewalk repairs at
the COURT House was taken up at the
meeting Of the County Commissioners
on Saturday. Repairs will have to be
made to conform with the relocation
of the curb as has been required all
along Mill street aud the work will
have to be done promptly. too, If any
effort is to be nade to comply with
the order sent out by the Borough
Council that pavements be repaired
before the Fourth OF July.
No definite action was taken by the
County Commissioners. Many persons
think there should be concrete pave.
ment in front Of the court House, along
with massive concrete steps leading to
the entrance. Since general tearing
up is necessary there seems to be no
reason why the work should not be
done rightly aud improvements INSTALL
ed that will add to the appearance of
the building. The Court House arohi-
teoturally Is really q fine building and
claim is made that it is worthy of a
better pavement than the wholly out
of-date patchwork Of flagstones which
covers the sidewal at present.
The expense Of concrete work would
bs materially reduced by the proceeds
realized from the sale of the flag
stones and the stones used in the con.
structiOn of the a. ems at Dresant tho
last named especially being valuable.

LAST CHANCE TO
SAVE THE WOMAN

WIN DSOR, Vermont, June 3l-Mary
Rogers, who is under sentence to die,
Friday, for the cold blooded murder of
her husband, Marcus Rogers will get
another chance this morning.
The writ of hsbeas corpus of the U.
s. court Monday took the state offic-
ials by surprise. This was evident this
morning. Attorney General Fits was
to appear Ill Windsor this afternoon to
argue on the writ in opposition to the
claims of error made by Mrs. Rogers
counsel.
He sent word this morning that he
would be unable to be in Windsor in
time for the hearing, and an arrange
ment was ma whereby the hearing
was transferred to Brattleboro. Word
of the change vas sent to Judge Wheel
er and to Governor Bell.
1t is considered more than likely that
Attorney General Fits will not be
prepared to argue the case at length
this afternoon and that he will con-
sent to an adjournment for month.
In that event Governor Bell will neces.
sarily have to issue another Ieprieve.
Mary Rogers was almost light hearted
this morning over the prospect of fur
ther stay in her execution.
II am hoping for the best" she said
to her counsel, who visited her at the
prison this morning. "It may be that
l may never have to hang
The convicted woman spent a busy
morning preparing for her appearance
in court today. She has not been out
side of the prison confines for over two
years and the prospect of visit to the
outside world aroused her interest in
her personal appearance.
She will be taken to the court house
on Main street from the Windsor pris.
by Sheriff Peck and superintend-
ent Lowell. An eager curious throng
is anticipated in the court room de-
spite the heavy rain which pourf in
torrents all day.

DANVILLE LOST
FIRST GAME

The local team lost the first game of
the series with the Cuban Giants Mon
day afternoon at DeWitt's Park. The
game was hotly contested from the
start and as both pitchers we're in
warm weather shape the hits came
slow, and runs still slower. Sampson
for tho visitors allowed but two hits
and McCloud held the dark wonders
down to eight hits whiah several times
resulted in runs.
The audience was composed of peo-
pie who know how the game should
be played. and the applause was lib
eral for both teams. The visitors,
always ON the alert. gathered in sew.
eral which looked like safe ones, and
the home team seemed anxious to ex-
Gel their opponents'in thrilling plays.
Logan, always in the game, knock
ed one dowh which everybody thought
was safe hit, throwing his man out
at first after which the applause was
terrific. Too much cannot be said of
the way all the players handled the
ball in Yesterdays game and the fact
was again demonstrated that the locals
always acquit themselves oreditably
when playing against a high grade
club.
The crowd was smaller than was ex-
pected but with favorable weather to-
day the attendance will no doubt be
much larger.
Following is the score:

Fourth of JuIy Warning,

Casualties and fire losses. In ten years
l,100 persons we're. e.killed and 5,593 in

This is rroof that Americans are
patriotic, but can we not prove our
patriotism in some less costly and less
deadly way?
Much Of the shooting and most of
the self destruction is by children.
With them patriotism doesn't count so
much as having just jolly good time.
Most of them do not understand ex.
cept in the vaguest way the historic
Significance of the day, and their en-
thusiasm is less of tribute to Amer
ica than to China. 1t was the latter
country that invented fire crackers.
Is it not worthy of consideration
that if we do not soon have Fourth
of July reform we shall soon come to
know 1t as the Slaughter of the Innoc-
entsP
After all, we ought not to kill NOR g
people in celebrating the war of In
dependence than were killed in the
war itself
