 Hit With Sled.
 C Curtis street had the misfortune Of getting hit with a sled while sliding down hill on Linden street last even ing. inficting a cut of quite serious nature over the left eye. The cut was. fortunately, high enough above the eye So as not to injure the eye or sight in any manner. This iS the first accident Of the kind this season. and the way some or the yOUngSfeTs handle their sletls and rippers it ls ever. strange they escape more serious injuries.

A SONG OF STREET LABOR.

They are working. beneath the sun, In it's red-hot binding glare In the dust from the toiling team, In the noise of the thoroughfare See them swing and bend, far down to the
 end,
 With the rhythm of the strokes they
 bear. The cords of the sinewy' arms -. Stand out like the cables twist; No blow shall miss and no stroke shall
 fail From the grasp of the brawny fist, As the shoulder swings when the pick-ax
 rings
 And the hand springs firm from the wrist. Let the feet of the dainty shod
 Pass by on the other side, Where the youth of the slender back and
 limb
 Stands watchng-the listless-eyed; While with sweat and with pain and the
 long days strain These toil-and are satisfied. Caroline A. Lord, in American Illustrated Magazine.

HIS WASTED LIFE
The Body of Jack Shannon Sent
 Home Last Night.

The body of Jack Shannon, wao died at the insane asylum on Monday, was shipped last night to the home of his mother at Montreal. Canada. Shannon is the man who was brought to the fn sane asylum last Saturday by Sheriff c. I. HoNcl, of Navajo county. 1t will be remembered that Shannon escaped from the sheriff at the Agua Fria wa ter tank and wandered about the des- eft until daylight when he returned to the tank
 He was a morphine OF opium flenI. and when he returned it was found that his mouth was disco1ored with the drug. The sheriff suspected that some one had given it to him sNFFeptitiedsiy about the time he started from Win shortly after leaving aRd there was none in hls possession.
 After his death it vas found that the drag had beea sewed tn his cloth ing and had naturally been overlook ed by the sheriff.
 Shannon was member Of the Eag les but that was not known until snort ly before his death. Though he had not belon ged to the order long enough to avail himself of the benefits of the order the members took charge of him after his death and had the body em- balmed intending to hold it pending in structions from Shannon's relatives; in case no such instructions had come the Eagles would nave given the body burial.
 Shannon had lived in the territory a great many years. He afterward lived in Mexico and only recently returned to Arizona.
 He is said to have been finely edu- cated and until he came fully under the influence of the drug he had many friends who did their best to reclaim him.

CONVENTION BULLETINS
Reception Committee; Phoenix Dele
 gates; Railroad Rates, Etc.

Arrangements are going forward nicely for the big anti-jointure state hood meeting to be held here on Sat urday in the Doris opera house. The board of trade committee yesterday announced the following named as members of the reception committee:
 Directors of board who are: w. D. Fulwiler. w. H. Ward, A. J. Chandler C. J. Hall, C. H. Akers, Vernon l.. Clark, C. F. Demund B. A. Fowler, George N. Gage, Roy S. Goodrich, Fl. l. Latham, J. A.

oasis Of rest in the desert of toit That merchant didn't make me wade through . long aFaHnaent about the n@aaufac- turers troubles, hfs loss ard n1y pro- fis, bgt iHst gave . warEa man a tip that straw hats were ready, the seascn was O., ard left 1t to nae to GO and lock them over. On July first that ad would simply be ho3s of space. Amy bedy will know "straw hats," butt then they are locking fer inducements. The best and the cheapest. An. extremely low price will irduce the purehaSe of a new hat where the cleaning Of the ohd had been contemplated. A little per srbasion ir the form of pleasantly presented argument will turn the busi- ness kis way.
 Few merchants can s9are the time to do justice to beth the details 0a theiF business and to properly prepare their advertising, even if they were able to do 50 properFy themselves, and it is BOOT economy to terrn it over to an hrf- experienced eIork.
 Considering that the merchant eouLd spare the time ard did know ~"hat to say and when to say it, he fails to get the proper dis9laY of hGs par aer aplNs often, through misunderstanding
 
 posing room, unless ifa addition to his own business, he IS fansi iiisr with the details Of the EFintiAs business.
 The advertising specialist who uH- derstan&s the printing business thcr- oughIy can build lis copy i- such a manner that the comp positor cannot n7iotake his ne aaina, but can 70 di- rsctIy to werk on the settins ~ithoat having to lay out CT figure the ''essas" and 1oints to ascertain the oizos Of leads and rules.
 This saving to the rrinter simply means better service in display to the advertiser.
 Since the merchants income is at stake and his personal principles are being indeIibIy stamped on the Hainds of the thousands by his advertising, iS it any wonder that men like Wana- maker, SiegeI Cooper Co.,, Marshall Field, etc, give liberal salary induce nents to the naen who make thena famous.

SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING AS A
 FINE ART.
Merchant Princes Owe Their Millions
 to IudieioGs Use of Printers Ink.


 The average magazine reader will be surprised to learn that the author of "Trixies Lover, or for Parents Sake" or some similar effusion received in payment for the fifteen page novelette, only about ore half of the amount re- ceiVed by the man who wrote those few lines about the Breakfast Food in the advertising section, hut it is so.
 In a conversation with an advertis- ing expert held in The Republican of fice yesterday many facts which would be of interest to the casual reader were brought out.
 Mr. Eugene Todd said, "The young est advertising man that l ever heard Of wa1 Mark Twai:, who has since confessed that he advertised a pin when he was only few days old and continued to advertise it strenueusIy until his nurse naade a search and re- moved the offending article.
 The successful advertisement is the one that arrests the attention and hoids it long enough for the reader to digest the contents. There can be set rule in this business. Time and circuna- stance must govern the space used and the amount said. 1t is often not what is said, but what is left out that brings dollars to the advertiser.
 Several days ago | noticed an ad. of local dealer that to nay mind was the right thing at the right tinae. 1t was a five inch, single column ad. in relief, in the center of which were two words only; Straw Hats" Now that was an

 It is also requested that another an nouncement be made fer the benefit of out of town readers, concerning rail- road rates and the way to take advan- tage of them.
 The s. F. P. & P. railroad has made a rate of one fare for tEe round trip for all its patrons and all other rail- roads in the territory have made a rate of one and one fifth fares for the round trip. The eSScursiohfsts should on buying their tickets make it clear to the agent with whom they deal. that they desire t@ take advantage of the cheap rate and ask hi@ te furnish them with a certificate provided for that purpose and which serves as re eeipt fer their money. Arriving in Phoenix they should have these ceFtii- eates countersigned by the secretary of the convention after which they will present them to the Phoenix railroad agents who wiH furnish them the re- turn trip tickets at the reduced rates. And also every delegate should regis ter at the board Of trade room as soon as he arrives.
 This is necessary to facilitate busi- ness.
