 SHOULD BE REPORTED-The po- lice request that any person who may chance to meet a young man in the twenties. known locally as Peg" for the reason that he has but one leg and formerly wore a wooden leg, will report his whereabouts to them. This will be considered favor to the offi- cers and an act of charity to the man who is believed to be mentally unbal- anced He was raised in this city and is well known here. though many years ago he went elsewhere and has since lived the life of a trapp more or less of the time, returning to Phoenix oc- casionally. He came back here a few weeks ago and has been in jail a couple of times since on vagrancy charges. The other day he was removed to the county hospital. being without means and the jail being no place for him. Yesterday the hospital authorities re- ported that he had left the farm. The police are suspicious that he has formed the habit of using some drug that has affected his mentality. He was never known to be violent or dan gerous but possibly needs looking after for his own good.

UNION SERVICES
 FOR THE SUMMER
An Arrangement Entered Int hy
 Three Phoenix Churches.

Three of the churches of the ciiy have completed plan for the holding of union services during July and Aug ust. The following is the arrange ment: That the three churches, name ly, the M. E. Church, the Baptist church and the Presbyterian church
 unite; that the union services begin July 1st; that they be held July 1st and July Sth in the M. F. church, and that Rev. H. M. Campbell do the preaching; that for the Sabbaths July 18th and July 22nd. they be held in the Baptist church and that Rev. Alexan- der MacIean do the preaching; and that the Sabbaths July goth, and August 5th they be held in the Presbyterian church and that the Rev. Orville Coats do the preaching; that for August 18th they be held in the M. F. church and a man to be selected to do the preach ing; that for August 18th they be held in the Baptist church and a man to be chosen to do the preaching; and that for August 26th they be held in the Presbyterian church, and that a man be secured to do the preaching; that each church take care of it's own ex- penses. and that the loose collections be equally divided among the three churches; that the respective treas urers of the above named churches be a committee to care for and make d. vision of the offerings; that Professor Todd of the M. F.. church, L9 w. Cog gins of the Baptist church, and pr. Norton of the Presbyterian church, be

a committee to look after the music for these services
 It is earnestly hoped that the ar engagement will prove most agree able one. Those who have initiated the plan would have been pleased if all of the churches could have entered into the arrangement, but owing to the fact that all who might have desired to at tend could not have been accommodate ed under such a plan, and inasmuch as other plans had been consummated by some of the other churches for the summer months, it was decided that the most satisfactory plan that could be carried out was the above If all those who are interested in these ser vices will take the pains to file the above plan, it will save confusion as to the time and place of service for these Sabbaths.

 PROBABLY IN NEW YORK-Noth- ing official has been heard from Gov ernor Kibbey yet, but his son. Walter Kibbey stated yesterday that if he had left Washington he had probably gone on to New York, for it was his inten- tion when leaving there to visit New York and Boston, and nothing has transpired that would change the gov ernor's plans, so far as is known here
 AN ARCHITECTURAL IMPROVE MENT-Change on the east side or the Porter building, located at the cor ner of Washington and Center streets, are being made, the effect of which will be the material widening of the sidewalk at that point. The old stair case which formerly formed an en- trance to the building, has been done away with and steel gratings placed over the cellar way. A veranda around the building was rebuilt some weeks ago.
 BOUGHT HOME PROPERTY-D. H. Camp travelling representative of w H. Constable, with headquarters at
 Fl Paso. yesterday bought lots s, and
 the north half of lot in the Greene & Griffin subdivision of block 1, Central Place. The property bought has a frontage of 125 feet on Central avenue opposite the old Simms residence. MT.

 in the meantime will return to his home in the east and sell his property. com ling back to Phoenix to reside perma- tnently. ,s
 A DIAMOND Ro5RERY.-On' the 12th of this month diamond stick pin was stolen from V. T. Crosier. an efn- ploye of the NJ. & P. round house, dur ing his working hours. The fact. was reported to the police together with the suspicion of the owner that the culprit was Iva McCann, a boy who was also employed as a helper or apprentice in the machine shop. There was no con- victing evidence against the lad at the time and no arrest was made. Since then it has been learned that on the 18th he turned over to Chris Fitch, l a young man who is employed at the
 natatorium $32 in money and on the 17th called and got the money again. This transaction was in the presence
 of two or three witnesses. So far as can be learned the last money of any considerable amount that young Me Cam had before the diamond disap-
 peared was thirty dollars wages paid him on the Sth, but of that twenty dollars was paid to another party. All

The wirz Monument.

The Army and Navsn Post of Clevc-
land. o.. has passed. resolutions thank
ing the Cleveland Plain Dealer for the
able and strong EDITORIAL OF Aug. 10.
relative to the Wirz Monument. The
editorial is given bellows
sold Soldiers Protest Proper.
THE action of the G. A. r. in pro-
testing against the erection anywhere
in the United States, aof statue of
Henry Wirz was entirely proper and
sensible. At the close OF the rebellion
this man Wirz was the only adherent of
the Confederacy who was legally put to
death for his part In the war. He was
the commander at Andeysonville Prison.
The atrocities committed by him per-
sonally and under his orders are almost
beyond belief. He was executed not on
a charge of treason, but for the prosaic
crime o? murder. WirZ was a Swiss ad-
venturer, who came to America and
enlisted in the Southern army. The
Government, perhaps, recognizing the
brutality of the man as a characteristic
well fitting him for the place, placed
him in charge of the starvation pen at
Andersonyille. His administration must
have been satisfactory. as he was con-
tinued in command. The tales of cruel
ty and murder which spread during and
after the war could not have been ex-
aggerated, and Wirz was given his Just
deserts.
THE old soldiers, many of whom suf-
fered under Wirz, naturally object 10
the erection of statue to this murderer
anywhere within the limits of the Union
which they fought to preserve. The
protest Is to be sent to the Commander
of the Confederate Veterans. 1t has
never been stated that the Confederate
veterans are back of the Wirz Monu-
ment proposition. AS far as can be
learned the ill-advised movement was
set on foot by an organization of wo-
men. 1t is so preposterous that it will
probably never proceed beyond the silly
originators. It is inconceivable that the
brave men who upheld the Southern
cause should countenance at this day
any post-mortem honor to the alien
criminal who placed the blackest stain
on the Confederacy."
