A Birthday Party.

Six little friends gathered at the
home of Miss Jane Beck on the ami
versary of her fifth birthday. to wish
her many happy returns of the day,
which they did with sweet, childish
grace. Jane was assisted in receiving
her guests by her sister Betty and the
happy faces and merriment of the lit
tie crowd plainly ~attested their success
as entertainers. After the games came
the dainty refreshments crowned with
the five-pointed birthday cake with its
five lighted candles, which made the
bright eyes dance with admiration and
anticipation. When the little ones de-
parted at five o'clock all wished there
was to be another party next day. In
the evening Jane asked a few OF her
older friends to interview another
birthday cake at a six o'clock dinner.

ENDS HIS LIFE
Melville Buchanan Deliberately
Killed Himself Last Saturday
Morning.
Youth Of Twenty Years Becomes
Tired Of Living and Sends a
Bullet Through Heart.

Melville Buchanan, the twenty
year old son Of Mr.. and Mrs. j. d.
Buchanan of Irma fiat, committed
suicide by shooting himself through
the heart at the James hurry ranch
Adjoining his fathers place. No q
sons can be ascertained for the rash
act. At first it was thought that the
catastrophy was the result Of an acct
dent, but an investigation disclosed I'M
mistakable signs Of premeditation.
Young Buchanan had just entered
upon what bid fair to be a very useful
career and had just returned home
after marketing his frst shipment OF
which venture was highly sue
cessful and he appeared to be much
elsted over his success. On the night
preceding his death he was in Cody
and appeared to be enjoying the society
Of his young friends at Barnett's dane
ing social, and on the morning OF the
next day he took leave Of q large num-
Der of them to 60 home, and all agree
that he was in the best OF spirits. Upon
his arrival at home he remained in the
house but q short time, and upon com
ing u he Immediately proceeded to
che rear OF the barn and almos,
instantly those remaining in the house
were startled by the report of a pistol
and an investigation disclosed what is
above related. Mr.. Buchanan Sr. is

False Report Sent Out.

The Cody press correspondent evil
IDENTIFY a short on specials recently
when he sent out the report of the bold
hold-up in this city. The facts in the
case are that there was no hold-up at
all, and the report sent out is mislead-
ing and uncalled for, and has q
tendency to give Cody undesirable
notoriety. A very timid travelling man
was aimlessly wandering about the
city when a fellow who had taken on
too large a load of ''booze'' hailed him
to inquire where the steam laundry
was, and the travelling man became
frightened and Immediately proceeded
to make his escape. This scene was
witnessed by a number of reliable
citizens and they state hal there was
absolutely no signs OF a hold-up. The
press correspondent would do we'll to
get the facts hereafter before sending
out his reports.

Growth of Cattle Values.

1t is estimated that the value of a
years growth to each head of cattle
will average something near 80. That
is, a yearling kept one year on the ma
tural grass will be worth ten dollars
more at the end OF the year when it is
a two-year-olG, than it was at a yearl-
ing, and likewise a tw~o-year-old kept a
year will be worth an additional $40
more when it becomes a three-year-old.
At least 80 per cent Of the cows kept
for raising calves will each raise a calf
worth $40 or more. From this basis 1t
can be readily understood that with a
bunch of 200 cattle a nice proat can be
made each year.

Bcrlin,s Dust Cntch.r..

An Investigation Is going on in Ber-

streets causing sickness. says the san
Francisco Chronicle. The royal board
Of health at various places I'm the city
for instance, Mt the Opera platz and
near Inter den Linden and other local
ities-has had erected so called dust
catchers. This apparatus consists of
round boxes about one and a half feet
high, put on n post Mt n height of six
feet above the ground. The boxes are
left open to collect the dust flying in
the mir. After some time the boxes are
closed, inc the dust collected is anal
yzcd to see what substances dangerous
to health are contained in he street

WILL BE A BUSY SESSION
Much Work Mapped Out for
Coming Session Of Congress.

A Press dispatch from Washington,
where Congressman Mondell has been
attending to business for several days,
says:
In the opinion OF Representative F.
w. Mondell, the coming congress will
be an exceedingly busy one, and m
important legislation will be enacted
into law.
SIN my Judgment" said he 1--WE will
pass a bill on the lines Of the Esch-
Townsend bill, to regulate RAILROAD
rates and terminal charges. The meas
ure will be drawn on lines recommend
ed by the president, and this time the
bill will be so constructed as to answer
criticisms made against the bill passed
by the house last winter. It will pro-
vide for the regulating private cars
and terminal charges. I think public
sentiment has not changed on this sub.
ject, unless it is that it is more pro-
nounced in favor of such Legislation.
There is no question in my mind about
what the house will do. We will pass
the bill, as we did last year. But what
the senate will do with it l should not
like to undertake to say"
When asked if he thought there
would be any attempt at tariff revision,
Mr.. Mondell said:
"While it is true that some schedules
OF the Dingley tariff was toe high, and
duties could be lowered without doing
any harm to the protective system, still
l do o regard the situation to be Of
such a character as to demand any tar
IN legislation at this time. The coun-
try, 1 mean every section Of it, is en-
joying n era of unbounded prosperity.
1t is moi booming prosperity or specu-
lati.e prosperity. 1t is healthy prosper
ity and of steady growth. Our AMI
facturers r busy filling orders and
our labor is employed. Any agitation
now of the tariff cannot but have an
unsettling effect on business. 1t would
disturb the equilibrium and have a dis
tressing effect on all business and this
Is what the country does not want.
Present conditions are satisfactory, and
this being true, l believe congress will
do nothing to disturb it. And certain
ly It would be disturbed il the tariff
question were agitated.'.

Grazing Rates on Reserves.

Several important changes have been made relative to grazing, in- cluding both sheep and cattle, but as some points are not clear, a complete statement can not he se- cured this week.
 For the Grand Canyon (S) for est reserve, grazing rates for Ioo6 have been established by the gov ernment as follows:
 Resident grazing permits for the full year s5 cents per head. Non- resident permits for the grazing season, November to May ST, 20 cents per head.
 The first seventy-fve head are allowed to 'graze at hali rates; all over that are charged the full rate. Instructions read half-rate on cat tie only, but it is possible that it was intended for horses and cattle.
 It is probable that the rates made for the Grand Canyon reserve will be general for all reserves in Arizona.

New Comet Discovered.

On Thursday afternoon, Decem- Der 7, the Lowell Observatory re- ceived a telegram announcing the discovery of bright comet by Gia- cobini, the noted comet observer, at Nice, France. The discovery was made in the early morning of that day. The position of the comet at the time of discovery was near the bright star ArefWns. Its motion is southeast, and it's perihelion passage; that is the time when it will be nearest to the sun, will take place about the middle of January. Another calculation makes this time a few days later. Its appearance at present is that of a small, round, luminous cloud, not having a tail, coma, nor nu- cleus, the characteristics of a we'll developed comet. According to the results of the first computa- tions sent out by telegraph, the comet will pass quite near to the sun, and its brightness should in crease rapidly till its perihelion passage. It may become a naked eye comet.

4 Unique Exhibition.

There is now on exhibition in the window of the SUN office, some unique wood turning, done by J.
 w. Power. The articles consist of a lamp, vase, sleeve buttons, ring, cup and other small articles.
 The one article that MT. Power is especially proud of, is the wooden watch case, which cost him con siderable time and trouble to make, and it is certainly fine piece of turner's handicraft. The articles will be sent to the Terri torial fair next week, for exhibition during fair week and they will no doubt attract considerable atten- ton as a product of an Arizona manufactory, the Arizona Lumber & Timber company of this place.
