If the present plan is carried out there will be free acts on The Hassayamp at intervals of an hour each day dur ing the fair. Most of the attractions are under individual management but nine of the shows are owned and wit be managed by Fenn and Meyers, own CTS of the Monarch Show company

LAST TOUCH
 ON THE FAIR
Nothing to do Now but
 Open It
An Outline of the Program for the Week and a Description of the At- fractions.

The fair opens this morning and un- der the most favorable conditions. The final touches were put on the grounds, buildings, etc, yesterday, except such little things as can be attended to On- ly after the emergencies arise and sug- gest the remedy. All is as near in readiness as any big show ever can be and there is no lack of enthusiasm. The weather is perfect, or was last night and has been for several days, so there is no longer any worry on that score. Two thousand visitors came to town yesterday and it is expected there will be more today
 The one thing to impress now above all others is promptness. There will be lots to do every day and those who want to see everything must be on the grounds early for as much as possible will take place in the forenoon while the racing programs are designed to begin promptly at 1 o'clock. They must be run on time in order to finish each days program as scheduled. Today's special events are listed on the front page, briefly and details of the races can be learned from the programs and score cards.
 Probably the free show that will at tract the most attention today will be that of pr. Jonas the hypnotist. who will give a short lecture on the subject and at the close will hypnotize a sub ject who travels with him for that purpose, bury him six feet deep in the ground and leave him there until Sat urday when he will be resurrected in the presence of the fair visitors. A de- vice is provided whereby the visitors may look into the grave and see the face of the sleeper, satisfying them

GHASILY FRAGMENTS
 OF HUMAN SKELETON
Find by a P. Q E. Track Walker East
 of Mesa.

A telegram was received by Sheriff Walker from General Superintendent
 Drake of the s. F. P. & P. Saturday
 night saying that the track walker had reported the dead body of a man lying near the Phoenix and Eastern railroad track about nine miles east of Mesa
 City. Mir. Walker reported the infor-
 nation to the coroner and yesterday morning the dead wagon of Merry man & Moore was sent after the body. It returned last evening with all that was left of a man who had been dead at least several months if not longer, and that "all" consisted of a skull, three vertebrae, one foot in a shoe and hat. It was feared by the drivers that perhaps they had not found the right remains" for there was so little of it | it was hardly thought a track walker could see it and report it. So they searched carefully for a distance of a
 mile or so in each direction but this was the only skeleton that could be found.
 But there are sufficient facts for at ] least a negative" identification in the the event any person whose description is known, has disappeared in those parts. The skull has evidently been
 most of the time lying straight up, or as it would be on shelf for the jaws are missing and the bones of the lower side of it are very badly decayed, while over the crown a goodly portion of
 the dessicated scalp remains, and to
 which there is still a considerable quantity of hair attached. The har is undoubtedly that of a white man and Is of a reddish color, light and silky.
 | The hat, which was some distance
 away, was originally of a Fedora block
 and a very good hat. It is bound with white silk and white silk band and 1 has two little ventilator eyelets on each i side. That it was the hat owned by | the same man who furnished the skull | is evident from the fact that some of l his hair remains attached to the brim
 as though the skull and hat had lain ] together for a long time. The skull and hat were found about a hundred ! yards north of the track. About the same distance south of the track, was | found the shoe containing the foot
 which had been separated from the 1 skeleton just above the ankle. The shoe, sock and foot are altogether, the | shoe being laced up and tied in a bow | knot. It is a sewed shoe and was 1 evidently a very good one when new
 and was not badly worn. the heel be-
 ing worn away little bit behind.

ond in the afternoon and a third at night. In the Stadium jap jugglers, French magicians, troupe of high
 wire and mid air trapeze performers, | head balancer and a trained animal exhibition will entertain the visitors.
 It is also in the Stadium that a loop the loop feature will be given. The rider of the .bcycle will be Diavalo who has appeared in Phoenix before but the loop is of 9 new construction, a cork screw made of a platform some eight feet in width. Those who have seen the act given under the new con ditions say it is more interesting and dangerous to the rider of the wheel than any similar stunt of the like at tempted.
 Of the attractions new to Phoenix will be the baby incubator show where an invention of modern times in full operation will be shown and explain ed. Madam Liljens is the principal feature of 9 show bearing her name In mammoth tank of water this lady gives exhibitions of fancy trick swim ming and diving. The deep sea div ing exhibition is one of the features of the street. Creation is a show of interest and is Persian mystery which is entertaining.
 Peggy from Paris is a small theater where the principal actor does an elec- trical dance. The Coontown 400" with twenty negro voices will attract many. A large number of new nov ing pictures will be shown in the Electric theater. A Ferris wheel is on the street and was yesterday put in place.
 In addition to the numerous shows there are the knife racks, the cane racks, the confetti vendors and the men who sell the serpentine rolls. the ruby glass carvers and vendors, feather flower stands and gypsie fortune telling camp all of them will be there.

BIa, BIGG l.R, BIGG EST.

The prices of stocks have been going
down, but business still continues to he
business. What the railroad business Is
is indicated by the fact that one rail-
road system has just placed single
order for locomotives to the extent OF
four million dollars. One concern, the
american Locomotive company, has
taken orders for nearly thirty million
dollars worth of locomotives in the last
six months, while the Baldwin plant
couldn't even look at this four-million-
dollar order, as it is running night and
day, and actually turned out two hun
bred and twenty-six completed loco
motives In March. Such immense or
ders for locomotives, together with
record breaking orders for all kinds of
cars, would seem to indicate that the
American railroads were preparing for
unprecedented business, or that they
are trying to catch up with business.
The increase In the volume of traffic
on our railroads, as measured by the
total tons moved per mile, is almost
beyond comprehension. The total tom
mage in 1890 was sixty-eight billions.
This had increased to ninety-three bill
lions in 1897, while the total in 1904 was
one hundred ard seventy billions. Thus
it will bis seen that the increase in
the seven years from 1897 to 1904 was
nine billion tons, more than the total
tonnage for 1890. If our freight traffic
increases in like proportionsfor the next
sevsn years the 1911 total will be more
than three hundred billions, or almost
double what it was last year.
Big, bigger, biggest. There is ap-
parently no limit to our expansion, and
no immediate danger that we Shall
swell UP and burst.

mExico,s uoxEr CHANGE.

OF course no such change as Mexico
Is making in its money can be made
without some trouble. The new coinage
legislation practically establishes the
gold standard by giving fixed value
Of fifty cents in gold to the Mexican
silver dollar. The suspension of silver
coinage, by restricting the supply Of
coin for home circulation, disturbs bus
mess to an appreciate extent. Hither-
to laborers have been paid in silver and
gold was used only in purchasing inn
ported goods. With exchange at $50
the mine operator got more Mexican
silver dollars for his product sold
abroad than when exchange is at 200,
with the result that he got his labor,
provisions, etc. more cheaply than on
the gold basis. To the Mexican laborer
and other citizens who had nothing to
sell abroad the advantage Of the silver
regime was rot SO decided. But the
mine owners will profit, It is believed,
by greater stability of business with a
Notwithstanding standard of value. The
speculative element will be lessened and
closer calculations can be made. At
present silver mineowners are dissatis-
fed. They fancy they are being in1pov-
erished, now that exchange-which de-
pended on the value of silver in New
York-is falling. Last year it was 2SO
For the last six months it has been be-
low 216 and now is 202, or very nearly at
the new fixed value of the dollar.
The inconvenience of changing will
be over soon, and then Mexico will feel
better. She has acted wisely.

NO II Ell UNION

Bjornsterne Bjornson contributes a.
letter to the controversy in the London
press between DIR. Sven Hedin and Dir.
Nansen over the differences between
Sweden and Norway He points out
that both these gentlemen argue exclu-
sively from their own national point of
view. The. fact is, he says, that after a
hundred years Of pretended union the
two countries are further apart than
ever, and their present attitude towards
each other is not likely to encourage
Denmark to make common cause with
them against common enemy. The
three peoples, he says, are all threaten
led by Russia's desire for expansion,
and must be prepared to stand togeth-
er, shoulder to shoulder. He continues:
I'VE do not need the Union for that,
butt might be useful to have a defen-
|sive alliance. In Sweden all do not
seem to desire such an alliance, but we
can wait. Russia has other things on
her hands than the conquest of Sean
dinavia, which the late General Bobri-
koff imagined he might one day wit
ness. This state of things is already
clearly perceived by the Norwegians,
and, if we may Judge by their papers,
also by the Danes. The Swedes too are
beginning to see it. They are slower
people than ourselves; they are less ad-
vanced than we are in what concerns
political forms. Sweden still lacks the
parliamentary spirit and the formation
of distinct parties. 1t is precisely this
difference of popular character, of po-
litical institutions, of class feeling and
customs.-it is this difference created
by the different history Of the two ma
lions that separates SweGes and Nor
twegians more than any particular issue.
1t Is or account Of this difference that
lit is all absolutely hopeless task to at
tempt to mend the Union. The Union
| is reft asunder." Without the Union,
he adds, the countries would be the two
best friends in the world.
