His Criticism.

1t is difficult to avoid talking
shop" A story which illus
trates this is told of the late Col
onel H. G.. Toler, the noted horse
man, who died in Wichita. A
Kentuckian was speaking of Col
onel Toler and said: Colonel
Toler raised John R. Gentry and
many other famous horses. The
turf has suffered a great loss in
him. A better judge of horsefesh
and a pleasanter man you'd never
find. l used to love to watch him
studying horses. He was very
keen. He was at his best then.
A rich tailor once brought him to
see 4 new acquisition, a trotter- OF
doubtful quality, for which, how
ever, $500 had been paid. The
tailor was full of enthusiasm about
his horse. He little knew he had
been done. Look at him, he
cried. There's a horse for you.
LOOK al them legs. Very pretty,
said Colonel Toler, grinniug.
Very nice legs indeed. But don I
they bag a bit AZ the knees?' -

WHO ARE THEY?
Two Phoenix Men Who Let $lOO, 1000,
 900 Get Away From Them.

Several months ago NJ. s. Winnie was telling some Douglas friends about q vast pirate treasure, known to him. self and some Phoenix friends, locat- ed on Cocas Island in the Pacific ocean. Mir. Winnie was proprietor at that time of the Palace cafe in Douglas, and still lives here. He was negotiating with his friends in Phoenix, who owned a may of the Island, which indicated the place where vast treasures were said to have been buried in years agone by pirates and Spanish refugees from Cali fornia during the Mexican war of in dependence. But Mir. Vinnie's friends failed to come to his terms as to joint expedition in search of the treasure, and the matter was for the time drop ped.
 A few days ago he sold his restaur- ant in Douglas ard might have used his knowledge and funds and persua- sion to some purpose upon the Phoe- nix poSsessors of the treasure map and secret. but, behold on the very night upon which the sale of his business in Douglas was made, came the Los An geles Examiner with a full page ar ticle and illustrations of the discovery upon the old pirate resort of Cocas Is land of a treasure of gold, silver and jewels. amounting in value, according to estimate, from S33,0O0. O00 to $1OO.- 0O0.OO0
 The discovery was made by the Brit ish yacht Ras Marine owned and com manded by Harold w. s. Gray, an En glishman. Ten days ago. the yacht, fresh from the treasure island, put in to the harbor of Valparaiso, Chin. South America, for coal. and the finI was telegraphed to San Francisco.
 ''The yacht is now on her way to England with the tens of millions Of pirate gold and jewels in her hold, says the Examiner.

ARE THESE LOST ONES
 LINGERING IN PHOENIX?
People From all Over the Country
 are Waiting to Know.

Though the name Of Ci,y Marshal Kinney is not specifically mentioned in the Bible, it is presumed that the reference to NY Brothers Keeper" was put there for his especial benefit. In any event, the world has so inter preted the Scripture and whenever anybody gets lost anywhere his friends begin writing to MT. Kinney about him. He has dug up more peo-
 pie who were lost and did not know
 it than anybody else in town. Every day or two be gets letter of this sort and occasionally mention is made in
 the papers Of some particular case.
 Following are references to inquiries
 regarding several that have been re-
 ceived recently:
 Andrew Gormley, of fl Court street. New Haven. Conn, writes to learn the
 whereabouts of his brother. Patrick Gormley, sometimes known as. Thomas Gormley. He was a prospector and was last heard of in these parts in 1887. He is fifty years old.
 Mrs. Myron Cleveland of South Whitley. Ind, writes to inquire the
 whereabouts of Milton Sanders.
 Nick Gilbert room 626, city hall Philadelphia. writes to learn the fate of his friend Harry Milliken. He was lnemdn employed Tn cleclrlCal WOrk by some company in Arizona, and the lasH his frienCs heard of him was a little over two months ago, when he was taken to a hospital after being badly injured by a fall Ills friends fear the results of his injuries might have proved fatal He is about forty three years old. six feet tall, of dark complexion and hair, with long nous tacne and goatee-
 Another letter comes from F. r. Ol- inger. of North Topeka Kans., box 601. station A. He has just received news from some source that his broth CT John D. Olinger. was sick in Phoe-
 nix and in a destitute condition. but
 he has been unable to get in communi- cation with him or to locate him. The
 writer will be slad for any news con corning nm.
 There is also 9 letter from a mother
 inquiring for daughter and various
 similar communicates. There seems
 to be widespread impression that
 a convention of the lost is continually
 i1 session in Phoenix. Anybody know
 ing anything about anybody that is lost or that looks like he was lost can
 perhaps do various people a favor by
 telling Marshal Kinney abou; them.

THE LAST MEETING
 THF BEST EVER
Returned Shriners Say of the PiI-
 grimage to Tucson.

Dr. C. w. Vickers. recorder of Fl Zaribah temple of the Mystic Shrine.
 returned yesterday together with half a hundred othcr Shriners who had
 been attending the annual pilgrimage of the faithful to the oasis of Tucson.
 The train from the east was delayed and did not leave Tucson until after
 : o'clock so it was about 11:3O yes
 terday when the caravan reached Phoenix.
 Speaking of the meeting the record CT said it was the most successful one that was ever conducted by Fl Zaribah temple. The success of it was due in large measure to the good work of Inn
 perial Potortate Vernon L. Clark and
 the Tucson committee of arrangements consisting of several members and the
 chairman and secretary of which were \. V. GrOssetta and Vic Hannv. re- spectively. But they were not alone in the good work for credit is due to the entire population of Tucson which seemed to bid tke visitors welcome and place at their disposal every conven- fence and facility for both business and pleasure. In the business district par ticularly, the welcome was emphasiz- ed both by all who walked the streets and by lavish decorations of banners flags and electric lights.
 The last function of the visit and It's croWning social feature, was the grand ball in honor of the Daughters of Isis which was held in Elks hall op Fri day night. There was a large attend ance and the event was one that was enjoyed by everybody, even those to whom dancing was either a lost art or
 one that had never been acquired 1 Tucson is prosperous and lively in a
 business way, or at least it seemed to
 be this week and there was good evil dence that it is all the time for surely | a people could not be so hospitable un-
 less the world was going well with them

TO SAVE THE TREES
erinneIl Citizens Organize a Society
Called Citizens League, the Prime
Object Of Which Is to Prevent De-
struction Of Beautiful EIms.

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, July 12.-At a mass meeting
last evening at the city hall Citi-
zeps' League was formed, which has
of The shade trees in front of residence
property. There has been no estab-
lished sidewalk grade until within
about two years. When permanent
sidewalks were ordered in conformance
with the new established grade, many
of the large shade trees of the city
were sacrificed, and much sentiment
has been aroused In opposition to the
immediate establishment of permanent
walks on the new grade where the
shade trees will be destroyed. In one
instance the district court has been
asked for an injunction restraining the
city from assessing the cost of the new
walk which has been laid by order of
the council some four feet above the
old one, against the aoutting property.
The Citizens League will for the pres
emit take especial interest in protecting
the trees where possible, and will en-
deavor to secure the postponement of
action by the council where permanent
walks call for a radical change of
grade, and the laying of temporary
walks in order chat the beauty of the
streets may be preserved. The mem
bership of the league is now about
twenty-five. and will doubtless be
largely increased. The officers elected
last evening We're: President. l.. d.
Kemmerer; vice president, B. Jenkins;
secretary and treasurer, IS. r. Robin
son; attorney, I. j. Bray.
