pleasing address he told of the high re-
 gard in which he held the teachers of Arizona and the educational sys- tenn in the upbUildins of which they had played such prominent part. He told humorously Of his work as school teacher in the state of Arkan- sas many years ago. This experience he had had was perhaps what made the studying of educational matters a very pleasant part Of his official du
 ties. In discussing the affairs of the territory with strangers the schools Of Arizona always came ta his mind as possibly the greatest ~bf the many things ol which Arizona is proud.
 At the conclusion of the address os the governor the teachers felt that every door of the city was open for their entertainment and that they had in the chief executive of the territory a sympathetic friend. pr. Blome ol

that the fare was half a dollar.

into the waiting vehicle.

he asked Gilbert.
Gilbert handed his card to the
lawyer, with a quiZZical smile, and
drawing from an inside pocket

stack of bank-notes, laid them
on the desk.
As he scrutinized the card,

him, with a glance at his immac-

how painstakingly he kept him
self free from the stains of

amused her But he retOrted
that where she dared TO lead he

together they made their way

plaudits of admiring fellow-pas-
Sengers.
Alma climbed up into the cab
with an agility surprising to her
muscular companion. and di-
rected Gilbert to lay aside his
cuffs and coat and brace him

back-breaking labor. Then,
with few words of instruction
about the quantity and proper
distribution of the coal to be
used, the operation of the
blower, and the general manage

long blasts of the whistle. The

The Majestic Theatre.

The Majestic theatre, which was
thrown open to the public on January l,
1906, and has been acclaimed the finest
theatre in the United States. seems to
fully merit this distinction. The man
agement has just issued a souvenir book
of exceptionally artistic merit charac-
teristic of the theatre and the astonish-
ing elegance of it's appointments. This
book with fifty pages, with an art cover
and other embellishments by Ralph
Fletcher Seymour, the well-known de-
signer, contains, in addition to sue
cinct description of the building and it's
features, many beautiful half-tone en-
cravings, giving fine idea of it's archi-
| tectural and decorative beauty.
The first theatre TO be erected under
the new and eXacting fire ordinances Of
Chicago, it is believed to be the safest
theatre in the world, as it is certainly
the most substantial. Located on
Monroe street, in the very heart of the
retail and financial district, it occupies
probably the most valuable plot of
ground in Chicago, being surrounded by
broad street and alleys, thus providing
instant egress from every part of the
theatre, consideration the value of
which cannot be overestmated.
Built with the heaviest structural
iron ever put in Chicago building, and
constructed otherwise of stone, brick
and concrete, with five times the exit
space required by law, this theatre pre-
sents essential characteristics that may
worthily command public attention and
interest. That the west should con-
fessedly take the lead in theatrical con-
Struction may be surprise even to the
citizens of the great west, but it cannot
fail to be gratifying circumstance as
a new evidence that "Westward the
course of Empire takes it's way"
Specifically speaking, The Majestic
is the largest theatre in Chicago, pro-
viding eligible seats for more than 1000
neople. 1t is distinguished not only by
it's massive elegance, but by the beauty
Of it's decorations.
That so splendid building would not
be erected for commonplace or unwor-
thy entertainment must be obvious to
all. Vaudeville as offered by the i'm
portant and responsible managers in
Europe and America has become a
standard and recognized recreatio for
all intelligent classes. Presenting di-
versifed speciaIties by experts Of in
national fame, vaudeville in it's best
estate. as offered at the Majestic, is a
boon for men, women and children, and
none the less so because it gives the
maximum of entertainment at the mini
mum price.

Cost of Living Scars Prices on
Exports Cut.

Washington, d. c., May 3.-How the
cost of living in the United States is
mounting rapidly, although the same
commodities are sold much more cheap
ly for export, is shown in bulletin just
issued by the bureau of labor, entitled
Course of Wholesale Prices for 1890 to
1905"
The value of the statistics is that
they have been carefully collected on
the same plan that has been pursued for
the last fourteen years, and the deduc-
tions are drawn in the same scientific
way that had made those statistics
extremely valuable. The report says
that wholesale prices, considering all
commodities, reached a higher point in
1905 than at any other time during the
sixteen years covered by the investiga-
tion.
The average Of all commodities for
the year 1905 was 1919 per cent above
the average for the ten-year period,
1890 to 1899, 1872 per cent above the
low price in 1897 and 90 per cent about
the average for 1904.
The 1905 average, compared with the
year of lowest average prices during
the sixteen years from 1890 to 1905 in
each of the general groups of commodi-
ties, shows farm products $50 per cent
higher than in 1896; food, etc., 29.7 per
cent higher than in 1896; clothing 22.9
per cent higher than in 1897; fuel and
lighting, 1914 per cent higher than in
1894; metal and implements, AIS per
cent higher than in 1898; lumber and
building material Ala per cent higher
than in 1897; drugs and chemicals, 24.1
per cent higher than in 1895; house fur
nishing goods, 21.5 per cent higher than
in 1897; and the articles contained in
the miscellaneous group, 23.4 per cent
higher than in 1896.
Prices reached the highest point in
December, 1905, when they were 1919
per cent above the average for the ten
year period, 1890 to 1899, and 1877 per
cent above the low prices in 1897.
Prices in December, 1906, were 5.6 per
cent above the prices in December,
| 1904.

DR.. G. P. Reed stepped on needle
at his home at an early hour Wednes-
day morning Of last week and for day
or two suffered excruciatingly. The
needle penetrated his heel to such a
depth that all attempts to remove it
have proven futile. After working at
it himself for some time he called DR..
Wales, but the efforts Of both to locate
it were in vain. The doctor then went
to Leon. There, Drs. Layton and Bow
man used the X-rays and while they
succeeded in locating the needle with
the light, it foiled all attempts to ex-
tract it. The doctor returned home
and is letting it work it's own pointed
way trusting that it will eventually
cease to annoy him.-Davis City Lariat.

POUNDS IN A BUSHEL.
New Iowa Law Regulates Number
of Pounds in Bushel,

After much discussion, the house of
representative passed the bill repeal
ing the present laws relating to weights
and measures and enacting substitute
for them. Among other things it was
decided to insert clause saying that
hens eggs weigh one and half pounds
to the dozen.
1t was explained upon the floor that
it was not the intention of the legisla
ture to say that eggs should be sold by
the pound, but that it would be well to
have the question decided by statute in
case person wanted to buy eggs by
weight.
The bill gives the weight of seventy
articles, and many of them have never
had an official weight in the state of
Iowa before. Among these are beets,
alfalfa, peanuts and canary seed. The
weight of salt to the bushel is increased
from fifty to eighty pounds, and the
weight of sorghum seed is increased
from thirty to fifty pounds.
The complete list of weights and
measures as provided for in the Free
man bill that passed the house follows:
