DEEDS OF BLOOD.

Without attempting to point moral pr express conclusion. there is food for reflection in the mere observance of how easily a civilized and refined people can accustom itself to scenes and stories of bloody butchery. Not so many years ago a murder of any kind was a real sensation, even in a large city. and in country towns a sui- eide was occasion for sermons, edi- torial comment and lasting street gos- sip. Tn these days. suicides pass with slight notice. ordinary murders stir up only those immediately concerned and the peace officers and courts. Nothing less than a double murder, a murder and suicide. a murder in high social circles. or one surrounded by revOlting circumstances. attracts particular at tention. Los Angeles. since the de- struction of San Francisco, seems to have fallen heir to the responsibility of keeping up the criminal record of the coast, and now, before the records of the Stackpole case have been finished, presents another horrible tragedy, wherein a man kills his former wife. who had married again, then kills himself. All this in the home of hus- band No 9
 With the Spanish American war, people began to look for wholesale killing. The Boer war added to their expectation of tragic stories, and when hostilities began between Russia and Japan. nothing was worth while unless 1t dripped with blood. Twenty years ago the throwing of a bomb was an important item. whether anybody was hurt or not. In these days the picking off of a Russian dignitary here and there, either by a bomb or a pistol shot. Is accepted as a matter of course. The slaughter must be wholesale or within the royal circle, if it calls for big head lines or extended description.

NOTICE 10 rHE PUBLIC.

When we entered into an arrange ment between ourselves as to the de- livery of ice. we had no other end in view than to reduce the expense in cident upon a double set of delivery teams, resulting in lessening the price of ice to our customers, as well as an economic saving to ourselves. Our motives have been miscOnstrued and our actions misrepresented. We do not wish to be regarded by our patrons as conspirators, or as having entered into an arrangement in restraint of trade to the detriment of the rights of citizens with whom it is our interest to deal.
 Legal advisers have assured us that there has been no transgressiOn of the statute in effect; we know there has been none in intention.
 Rather than further pursue our busi- ness with our customers fearing the existence of an arrangement between us unfair to them, we prefer thatsnone longer continue.
 Hence we publish the following notice:

PREPARE FOR VISITORS.

Phoenix citizen who remained at home this summer and devoted his en- crgies to putting his property in good repair and to making many improve ments in houses. walks and lawns says, without wishing to boast of his own civic pride. that he would like to see a lot of other people doing the are a thousand houses in this city that need a coat of paint, not only to help their appearance. but to better pre- serve them. Though Phoenix, for it's population. has a large mileage of sidewalks, there should be still moro of them. The electric poles. and the avn ings and porches of business houses as well as residences. need painting and a score of things might be sug gestcd. one thing at least can be done by nearly every property owner, and that is to clean up whatever vacant lots he may have.
 The season for entertaining visitors is fast approaching and will be here before people realize 1t. Unless all signs fail, Phoenix will have more vis- itors from the east this winter than ever before. and it is very proper that the town should have on its best clothes. Whether anybody comes from the east or not. all Arizona is coming here to the fair in November and it Is desirable that visitors from other ter ritorial towns shall not be called upon to blush for the unkempt condition of their capital city.

It is hoped the gentlemen who have been appointed delegates from Arizona to the National Irrigation congress which meets in Boise, Idaho. September 3 to 8, inclusive, will all endeavor to attend the session. Delegates have been appointed by the governor, the boards of supervisors. commercial bodies, canal companies and others. and If even half of those named shall attend, Arizona will be well represent ed. It would be still better to have them all present. Few things. if any. are more important to Arizona than Irrigation and much has been accom- plished for the benefit of the territory through the efforts of the irrigation congress. There is stin much work be- fore this organization. and Arizona is depended upon to help do 1t.

Delegate Andrews of New Mexico is spending more or less of his time these days. sending out letters to for mer members of the Rough Rider reg iment. who live in Arizona. Tn writ ing them he assumes that all the Rough Riders must in the logic of events be in favor of joint statehood. if there can be any logic in that sort of reasoning. The gentlemen who re- ceive these letters, and make answer to them. are invited to send copies to The Republican fer publication. All that have been made public so far make good reading.

Useless Self -Immolation-EnOch Ar den had returned and discovered that his wife had given him up for dead and married another man.
 'I suppose I ought to go in and upset all that" he muttered, as he softly re- treated from the window through which he had been peeping; "but 1t would kick up a terrible rumpus. Be- sides, it would knock a good poem into a cooked hat"
 If he had lived a few years longer, however, his more mature judgment would have assured him that such a wind-up could not have spoiled the poem to any great extent.-Chicago Tribune

 he went into the house and prepared his gun for an active part in what was to follow, thinking that whatever mo. tive power brought that chicken un- der the culvert would come out on the other side, but his watching was in vain, and as he stood guard until the
 wee small hours of the morning and feeling sleepy, he went to bed. He was not long in bed when he heard another squawk, from a chicken in his hen house. This time he procured a lan- tern and went to investigate, and to his astOntshment he beheld a monster of water snake carrying of a chicken

 With steady aim Fred drew a bead on the reptile, which very soon let go of it's prey, as Mrs Snake was shot through the head. And the strange

TOWN TOPICS. WOMEN'S TAILORED SUITS.
WONDERFUL EXPOSITION OF NEW
 STYLES AT MEIGs < co.'s.

The mere fact that the display of tailored suits for women and misses at Meigs & Co.'S. store comprises no less than 142 distinct and exclusive styles is enough to make any Bridgeport woman gasp with pleased astonish- ment. Yet this fact gives but faint idea of the new stores resources, for suits extensive and varied. but sizes and extra sizes are also provided so that any woman may find her size in the style she likes. This is new thing in Bridgeport, and women who heretofore have been .obliged to shop in New York, are taking advantage of 1t to a degree which is making the new store famous. All fittings are by expert custom filters, and the char acter of work on alterations is an other feather in the cap of the new shop for women. The showing of women's coats is no less extensive, while the displays of gowns, skirts, petticoats, waists, knitted underwear and hosiery partake of the extent and variety of the best New York stores. The basement shoe section is already known as the handsomest and most complete shoe store in town, and wom- en are focking to it for their Fall foot wear. In the mems section, Fall clothes, hats and furnishings are de- parting in lively fashion, in spite of the fact that the carpenters have not yet cOmDleted alterations The bOvS' section is now fully provided with fall and winter clothing for boys and children. The easy access to the boys section from the women's section is appreciated by women shoppers. The whole store is now aglow with the en- thusiasm engendered by the most con- plete stock of good wears ever dis played, fact men and women are finding out every day.

GENUINE SNAKE STORY FROM THE
 PEN OF w. D.
 Synopsis of snake stories previously published in THE NEwTOwN BEE from your' correspondent at Roxbury:
 Chapter I, Peter Learey's adventure with a multitude of black snakes on the road to Thophet.
 Chapter 2: Jaboc Naas' adventure in killing water snake.
 But the readers of THE BEE, 1hOpe, will forgive the writer of Chapter No. 3 for treSpaSsing on the generosity of the publisher, (Mr Smith), in wedging in another water snake story. By the use of the word, water, l mean that this is a temperate town and nobody sees any snakes but what they kill. Of course there are neighbors adjoin- ing us from other towns that kill snakes and this is the way some of our neighborS kill the reptiles.
 There is 3 little man that has got little gun He can fire 1t in the dark and it never missed
 nd it's its mark, "a hc orr prsdd,s ,,,so +na .+.,
 snake.
 It was trying to raise the dickens by stealing And the squawking made our boy jump out ot With a pistol and that gun he deprived us of
 our fun.
 For he shot hefthrough the head. dead, dead, And he shot her through the head.
 Now, MT Editor, while am resting on my oars, waiting for something to chronicle, regarding the Ward vs. San- ford case and the returns from the re- publican and democrat caucuses of the week, l thought I would let the readers of THE VIEWPOINT BEE know about the snake that Fred Warner killed a few days ago in this manner. Fred has been losing some of his chick ems lately and of course he laid the blame to mink as there is a goodSiz- ed brook that flows down by his barn. He never thought of taking into ac- count that boaconstrictors live on rab- bits and chickens, and after diligent search of the premises and surround ingS, he came to the conclusion that it was the work of chicken hawks A few days ago he came home from work and while milking in the barnyard he heard chicken squawk. Fred looked up expecting to see hawk or some other bird of prey, but to his astonish. ment he saw the chicken move along
