Sheep Shearing Season.

Sheep shearing will soon be
on in full blast in different
camps in Maricopa County, q
large number of men being at
work in several camps to pre-
pare for the taking of the valu-
able wool from the sheep.
Beardsley will probably be
the biggest shearing camp,
where between $4,000 and 100,
900 sheep will be shorn of their
wool during the next few weeks.
A large force of men will be
kept busy.
Campbell, Noble and McIn-
tyre, all big sheep raisers of the
northern part of the territory,
are preparing to have their
shearing done at Beardsley.
They now have their foCks in
the vicinity waiting for the
shearers.
Houck. another big raiser
from the northern part of Ari
IONA, will have his shearing

done at Cave Creek. 1t is es
timated that between 60, 600 and
10000 sheep will be taken care
of at that place.
Mesa takes third place in i'm
portance as sheep shearing
center. Scott and others have
between $4,000 and 10000 sheep
which they are preparing to
take care of within the next
couple of mouths.
Wool buyers from Boston,
New York, Chicago and other
points are beginning to arrive
in these parts, several of the
biggest wool growers already
having received orders for their
wool crop. Wool prices are ex-
pected TO be even higher this
year than they were last.
Sheep owners throughout Ari-
IONA and New Mexico are all
highly stated over the outlook.
Sheep of matured age ale said
to be bringing as high as 500

AN OLD TIME SEXTON.
Church SeryitOr Who Was PhiIO-
sophie and Ready for Any
Emergency.

Old "Jeems" was the doorkeeper in
Broughton Place Church, Edinburgh,
when DR.. John Browns father was
pastor there. Doctor Brown, it is
scarcely necessary to add, was the
author of "Maiorie Fleming" and "Rab
and His Friends the best child story
and the best dog story ever written,
says Youths Companion.
Jeems was a genuine Christian, but
like all complete men" he had
gift of humor, kindly although un-
couth.
One day two strangers in the
Broughton Place Church made them
selves over to Jeems to be furnished
with seats. Motioning them to follow
he walked majestically to the farthest
corner, where he had decreed that they
should sit.
The couple, meantime, had found
seats near the door, and stepped into
them, leaving Jeems to march ahead
alone, while the whole congregation
watched him with some relish and
alarm. He got to his destination
opened the pew door and stood aside;
nobody appeared.
He looked sharply round, and then
gave a look of general wrath "at
large" No one doubted his victory.
His keen, deep-set gray eyes fell, or
seemed to fall, on the two culpriSs,
pulled them out instantly, and hurried
them to their appointed place. Jeens
showed them slowly in and gave them
a parting look they were not likely to
misunderstood or forget.
On another occasion a parish oner
put a crown piece into the plate in
stead of penny, and starting at its
white and precious face, asked to have
it back, but was refused.
f'In once, in forever" said Jeems.
"Aweel, aweel," grunted the parish
oner, "Pll get credit for it in heaven!"
Ma, na," said Jeems, you'll get
credit only for the penny"
At that time the crowds and the
poor ventilation made fainting a COM
mon occurrence in Broughton Place,
especially among the young servant
Siilos iC SouuS uOCIOI Hdu lduSuJ
Jeems the philosophy of fainting fits,
and had instructed him especially as
to the propriety of laying the sufferers
quite flat on the floor of the lobby,
with the head as low as the rest of
the body AS many Of these cases
were owing to what Jeems called "that
bitter yerkin'" of their bodices--in
other words, tight lacing-he and the
doctor lost no time in relieving the vic
tins by cutting their staylaces, which
ran before the knife, and Cracked like
bow string" as Jeems said.
One day young woman who had
tainted was slowly coming to. Jeems
came round to the doctor with his
open gully (knife) in hand.
"Wull l rip 'er up noo?" he whis-
pered.
1t happened not to be case for Grip
ping up; and thanks to an increasing
knowledge of physiology, every year
there were fewer opportunities of ad.
ministering the wholesome lesson.

Arizona and New Mexico figures given are their portions of a total appropri- alton of $2,OOO,O0O for the militia of all the states, as against $1,000,000 in several former years and S500,000 in the years prior to that time.
 Of the $2,000,0O0 the militia act pre- scribes that at least $500.000 shall be devoted to the promotion of rifle prac- tice, including the acquisition. con struction, maintenance and equipment of shooting galleries and target ranges.
 In the division of this militia fund New York naturally leads with an ap- propriation of s155,592 Pennsylvania secures $135 644; Illinois $10I717. No other state approaches S100. 900. Wyo- ming, Delaware, Idaho, Montana Ne vada and Utah get about the same as Arizona. and Hawaii gets $15,000.
 Of the money set apart for Arizona the gross sum, outside of that which must be devoted to target practice, is available for the acquisition by the territory of arms, clothing and equip ment. for the maintenance of troops and for their pay while in camps of instruction, or as they have hereto fore been called, annual encampments.

THE SAME MISTAKE THAT THOUSANDS MAKE

To neglect backache, which is very often the only outward sign that Ma ture gives of serious trouble in the kidneys, is to give free reign to serious disorders that may end in dropsy, gra- vel diabetes or Brights disease.
 Yet this neglect of backache is very common. Many people think the pain q simple muscular trouble. They do not seem to know that backache is the most common symptom of kidney com plaint
 The kidneys (flters of the blood) lie just beneath the small of the back on either side of the spine. As soon as there is any inflammation or conges- tion in the kidneys you notice a feel ing of uneasiness in the back, then that dull throbbing pain, changing to sharp twinges when any sudden strain is brought upon the back. It is hard to straighten after stopping, you feel lame in the morning.
 The urine shows early signs of the disorder. It is pale and thin, or thick, discolored and in-smeIling. Passages are too frequent. day and night, or scanty and very painful. A whitish. stringy substance, or a sandy, brick ish sediment. settles at the bottom of the vessel

AFRICAN NUT GRASS
 AN ARIZONA PLANT
Its Possibilities as Food Supply for
 Han and Beast.

George H. Smith, gardener at the capitol grounds, is engaged in experi- menting with a new plant or at least plant new to this country and one that promises to be of great future usefulness and profit. When he vis- ited England a year or two ago he kept a sharp lookout for anything and everything new or novel in his line of business, for he is a gardener from choice as well as for a livelihood and likes to be up to date He brought back with him the seed of many plants that were new to him and among them a handful of nuts that he secured one day in a little store !n Sheffield. He had never seen anything just like them before and on inquiry learned that very little seemed to be known about the plant in England at that time. Even now MT, Smith does not know any name for it except one he heard and uses for want of a better one, and that is Nut Grass. The dealer told him the seed was brought to England by soldiers who were in South Africa during the Boer war and who said the plant is native of that country.
 Mir. Smith last spring. planted his
Arizona republican., 1906-07-23

seed on the capitol grounds, in the un- occupied areas along the ditches west of the building and now has growing probably a hundred tufts of this nut grass, each tuft springing from one or two nuts. Though the nuts are not yet matur ed this season. speaking from his memory of the seed planted, MT. Smith says they are from an inch to an inch and a quarter long and a third to a half inch in thickness. They are very sweet and palatable, being eaten very much after the manner of the peanut. He says though that they have a better flavor, that they have no shell and require no roasting. All they need is a thorough washing to cleanse them of the dirt in which they grow. From the appearance of the nut grass now growing the crop of nuts will be a prolific one That is from each nut planted there are perhaps a hundred grass stems and presumably there is a nut on each one. It is not improb- able that this plant will some day be- come very profitable one to grow here. just for the nuts, which possess ing the virtues indicated, should be- come very popular addition to the fruit stand stocks of the country.
 But that is perhaps only half the value of this plant, which promises to become a delicacy for both man and beast. The grass is rather coarse, though it may develop into a good lawn 1 grass. something that has not yet been eXperimented with.

DEATH OF A PIONEER
 WOMAN OF ARIZONA
Hrs. A. B. Mitchell Passed Away Sud-
 denly at Gila Crossing.

News of the death of Mrs. A. B. of this territory for the past thirty -one years, did not reach Phoenix until her body was brought here yesterday morning by relatives. She had passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs George E. Brown, on the Maricopa Indian reservation, Saturday evening shortly after o'clock, following an illness of but a few hours. Death re- suited from old age and possibly pros tration from heat. Her end was peace full and she experienced no pain.
 Mrs. Angie Brigham Mitchell was born June 27 1924, in West Borough Mass Following a residence there and at other points in Massachusetts, she removed with her husband and daugh- ter. now Mrs. George E. Brown, to Arizona in 1875, and has lived here ever since. Most of the time she was d resident of Yavapai county, living at Prescott and on the Agua Fria river. In 1904 she came to MaricOpa county, spent one summer in Phoenix and since then has lived at the MaricOpa Indian reservation, where MT. Brown Is su- .perintendent of irrigation.
 The funeral will be held this after noon at 4:30 o'clock from the parlors of George F. Merryman. Rev. MT. of the Presbyterian mission on the In- dian reservation, will odiciate. Inter mcnt will be made in the new Masonic cemetery on the Yuma road. The fu- neral will be public and all friends of

STATE MILITARY
 ESTABLISHMENT
What This Years Appropriation Does
 for Arizona and New Mexico.

A copy of the bill that recently passed congress, providing for the maintenance and improvement of the state and territorial military organiza- tions for the year 19O6-7. has just been received here and from it is secured considerable data of interest to na- tional guardsmen and others.
 The appOrtionment for the Arizona establishment is $11,534, of which amount $2,SS3 is set aside for the pro- motion of rife practice. New MeXico's apportiOnment is $1O,469. of which 3D., 617 must be devoted to rifle practice In both instances the amount named for target practice is the minimum; more may be used for that purpose if 1t can be so arranged without Injury to other features of the service.
 The bill shows a recognition Of the importance of the state organizations by its notable increase over preceding measures for the same purpose. The

 VISITING RELATiVES-Mrs Louie McGee Of Olathe, Kansas, and Earl R. Brown of Fairbanks, Alaska, spent yesterday in Phoenix, having come here Saturday for the purpose of wis iting their uncle, George F. Brown of the Maricopa Indian reservation. The young man is a son of MT. Browns oldest brother and the young woman daughter of his oldest brother Their visit to him was a surprise and it would have been more prolonged had not the weather here been so hot.
 THE THER-Yesterday was one of the most disagreeable days Phoenix has experienced this summer. or for that matter, for several sum- mers. The temperature was not so high but the humidity was the cause of the heat being so generally notice able and oppressive. At 5:S0 yester- day morning the humidity was 62 per | cent but it had fallen to 21 per cent at 5:3O D. m. 1This made an average for the twenty-four hours of 42 per cent. The highest temperature of the twenty -four hours was 10T and the lowest S2 degrees This was the re- port prepared by the weather bureau, which is generally lower than the re- corded temperatures of thermometers down on the streets. On Saturday night there was a trace of rain record ed and last night shortly before 9 i o'clock in parts of the city there was | considerable of a shower. The appear ance of the sky at midnight would in
 dicate that the storm had not passed
 but that there would be more prccipi- i tation before morning

QUIJADA'S CAPTURE
 WAS SMOOTH WORK
Like Other Outlaws His Guilty Con-
 science Gave Him Away.

The Bisbee Review which arrived in Phoenix yesterday tells the story of the capture of Francisco Quidjada, the man who is alleged to have murdered his father-in-!aw while he slept some nights ago at Agua Prieta. The arr rest was made by Lieutenant Harry Wheeler Of the Rangers, assisted by one of his privates and by Deputy Sheriff George Humm of Cochise coun- ty, who formerly made Phoenix his home, being in the barber business here. He is now at Lowell, where the capture was effected. After following the trail of his man for several hours Wheeler's horse gave out on him and he was forced to abandon the trail He dispatched one of his men to take up the trail however. as soon as he could secure the use of the telegraph.
 The day following he was in Bisbee having again picked up the trail. The Review tells the story of what fol- lowed:
 While talking to a friend of his named Graham, Lieutenant Wheeler described the murderer and asked Gra- ham if he had seen such a man an- swering to that description. Graham said that he had seen such a man in Lowell. Wheeler then continued on his way to Lowell and on arriving there was joined by Deputy Sheriff George Humm. Wheeler. Hopkins and Humm then started to SCOUT Lowell. It was not very long before they ran across a man answering to the description of the murderer. who was in company with three other Mexicans. The offi- cers approached the group and asked
 them if they knew anything about the man who did the killing at Agua Prieta. The. whole group were very loud in their protestations that they did not know anything of the man The officers then withdrew, keeping a close watch on their man. and. pretend ed to go around the corner. As soon as they started to turn the man whom l they suspected began to run in an op- | posite direction and this was his un- ! doing.
