City Is Being Placed in Gala Attire
in Anticipation of Monster
Crowd For Tomorrow.
GREAT PARADE IS NOW ASSURED
LARGE Number of Business Firms of
the CITY Are Arranging Ap-
pr0pridte Floats.

Everything is now in readiness fon

hard and the results of their efforts
will be apparent to the record break
ing crowd which, from all reports, will
pour into this city on that festive day.
There is now but one thing which can,
in any wise, knock out the celebration
and that is bad weather. Barometric
indications are that we will have a
fine day and if Jupiter Pluvius will
of operations, there will be day and
night of fun such as the old town has

The parade will undoubtedly be the
most interesting ever seen here. La
dies all over the city have been busy
for weeks making flowers and decorat-
ing their carriages for the gorgeous
event. There will be a large number of
attractive floats representing energet-
ic business firms. The main float, rep
resenting the Goddess of Liberty and
the forty-six states will be magnifi-
cent affair. One of the city's most
charming young ladies has been chos-
en- by the committee as the Goddess
of Liberty and the states will be rep
resented by forty-six others of our
beautiful young ladies.
For the benefit of those who may

Five Cars of Provisions Sent Out to the
 Sufferers Last Night
The Board of Supervisors Approprates $3oooThe Good Work Which is Being Done by the Generous Resi- dents of the South Side

The work of relief of the fire and earthquake sufferers is still going mer- rily on. Yesterday the board of super visOrs appropriated $3,00O of the coun- ty funds and with it was placed a part of the fund left with the board of trade, the total paying for four car loads of beef cattle. These four cars and another carload from Tempe were
 to be sent out during the night via the M. & P, on a special to catch a spe-
 cial fast freight train at Maricopa. A
 carload of bedding, clothing. etc, was also sent out last night, making five carloads for yesterday, with two sent before. or practically a trainload of
 supplies.
 The members of the Daughters of the American Revolution and of the WOman's club had committees at the
 board of trade room yesterday for the
 reception of clothing and bedding
 Much was brought in to them, and it
 was sorted and packed each kind by itself There was one entire box full
 of womens shirt waists The women
 at the Indian school also sent in big
 box of clothing and other things con- tributed there. Altogether. there was the better part of a carload of supplies
 which it was intended to fill out with
 whatever was necessary to be pur- chased. Among this secondhand clothing was much that was of an ex- ceptionally good quality, some of it be- ing practically new.

SOME ERRINe PROPHETS.

It occasionally happens that the pre- dictions and theories of mathematic- ians and scientists are woefully upset and contradicted by actual results, says Cassier's Magazine for April. Every one is familiar with the story of the editor who, in the days of Stephenson's early experiments in railroading, pre- dicted that a speed of more than twelve miles an hour by rail would be impracticable if for no other reason than that the human system would not withstand travelling at a higher rate of speed
 Tn the early days of steam naviga- tion, also, Dr. Lardner delivered an ad- dress before a scientific body. in which he maintained that transatlantic steam navigation was impracticable, mainly because of the inability to provide room aboard ship for the coal that would be necessary for the voyage. The meet ing had scarcely adjourned before the news arrived that 9 ship had just completed a transatlantic trip under steam.
 In another case number of individ- uals seriously promulgated their belief that it would never be possible to sue cessfully lay a cable across the Allan tic. because, as they said, the density
 
 would be so great that the cable would not sink to the bed of the ocean. Re gardless. however. of these predic- tions. the cable promptly sank to the bottom of the sea. At that time, also, it may be noted. the greatest ocean depths in which cables were laid was only about 16,4O4 feet. Within the past year cable has been successfully laid by a German company in the Pacific ocean in the vicinity of the Luikin isl- ands at 9 depth of 26,246 feet.
 In still another instance the author of a well-known text book on teleg- raphy, published in the sixties of the last century, expressed the opinion that while the idea of duplex telegraphy, or the sending of two messages at once over one wire. was very beautiful in
 it's way, it must be looked upon as lit tie more than a feat of intellectual gymnastics, and quite useless from a 1 practical point of view. Within less ] than a decade after the publication oi | this opinion not only was the duplex | telegraph in practical operation, but l quadrupled teIegraphy, or the sending | of four messages at once over one wire
 was an accomplished fact.
 Notwithstanding that instances oi ! this kind could be multiplied, there are still to be found people ready to write l themselves down to posterity as errine prophets, and so it will doubtless be tC | the end of the chapter. Fortunately ] however, for the sake of progress, there
 are. on the other hand, always opti-
 mists enough to offset the discouraging
 views Of the Dessimistic.

DOES YOUR BACK EVER ACHE

That troublesome pain in the small of the back points straight to kidney sickness. Backache will not leave of it's own accord. nor will sick kidneys cure themselves. Every day of neglect makes the cure harder
 Don't make light of a pain in the back. It means there IS congestion and inflammation in the kidneys-that the kidneys are clOgged and inactive, can't do their whole duty on Altering the blood. It means the circulation of inn pure blood throughout the body. d weakening of every nerve, muscle and vital organ.
 Inactive kidneys cause rheumatism, neuralgia. gout. headaches, dizzy spells. nausea, indigestion. weak heart, gravel, stone in the kidneys. dropsy. too frequent passages of urine. and other urinary disorders. There is T constant tendency towards fatal dia- betes or Brights disease
 When you first feel pain in the small of the back or first notice any thing wrong with the urine, don't de- lay a moment. Give the kidneys the help they need

THE INDICTMENT OF
 MISS HALLE JENKS
First Proceeding Of the Territorial Grand Jury for the April Term.

Miss Hallie Jenks. formerly an at tendant at the territorial asylum for the insane. was yesterday indicted by the grand jury for having caused the death of an inmate of the institution month ago, by unintentionally suffo- eating her with fumes of turpentine waich she was applying for the pur- pose of quieting her.
 Miss Jenks had been out on bond since her preliminary examination. She was not sent for when the indict- ment was returned but she will appear in court this morning.
 The only other matter finally passed upon by the grand jury was the case of Benito Lopez. charged with murder. He shot and killed Miguel Valenzuela near Buckeye on November II of last year. It was shown at the time of the preliminary examination that Valen- zuela had for long time been making love to the wife of Lopez against his protests and warnings On the day of the killing Lopez returned home and found Valenzuela there. He warned him again to leave and Valenzuela started toward him with a threaten ing gesture. Lopez seized a small rife and the woman rushed between. the men. The rifle was discharged and the ball passing through the hand of the woman entered the body of Val enzuela, iniicting a wound from which he shortly died. Lopez was held to the grand jury but his bond was fixed at a nominal figure and he was re- leased. The grand jury yesterday finally discharged him.
 When the members of the grand jury appeared in the morning they were confronted by all the defendants or their representatives Objection on the part of Miss Jenks was made to one of them, Fred Tait, and he was ordered by the court to absent him. self from the jury room during the consideration of her case.
 The following jury was then sworn in: E. A. Spaulding, foreman, Alfred J. Straw, Daniel T. Hilbert, F. T. Hurley, w. C. Dawes, Leo Goldman , Joseph T. Birchett Fred Tait, Warren l.. Shrine, William Crismon, L. NJ Hoghe. Theodore Haffner, William Wiley Coleman, C. G. Jones, P. A Tharaldson and George E. TOmpkins.
 After the grand jury had retired civil matters were taken up. In th- objection proceedings of the Sall River Valley Townsite company against P. G. de la Lama tae plaintif was given a decree. In the case Ol L. E. Payson against James McMillar and others the plaintiff was giver judgment. In the suit of Gertrude Alice Reed against C. NJ. Reed anC others. George D. Christy was appoint ed guardian of the minor defendants ad litem.

WANT AND NEED.

There's a big difference between what a baby wants and what he needs. Deny him the one, give him the other. z Most babies need Scott's Emulsion-it's the right thing for a baby. It contains lot of strength building qualities that their food may not contain. After a while they get to want it. Why? Because it makes them comfortable. Those dimples and round cheeks mean health and ease. Scott's Emulsion makes Ochildren easy; keeps them so, too.

ARIZONA TESTIMONY.

H. T. Diehl, miner. of 15S E. Ala meda street, Tucson. Ariz.. says: My experience with Doans Kidney Pills proved that they are everything claim ed for them. In the month of Febru- ary. 1902. I first felt slight pains across the small of my back directly over the kidneys, probably caused by 2 cold settling in those organs. It was not serious, yet it struck me if neg lected it might lead to future trouble. and reading one night in a Tucson pa per about Doan's Kidney Pills my daughter went to a store next day for a box. took them as directed and when I had completed the treatment the pain in my back disappeared. was so surprised at the prompt and efficient relief given by DOan's Kidney Pills that I recommended them to d number of my acquaintances.''

Fine Prospects for the Gold Run.

s. H. Cox reports that the shaft in
the Coll Run mine has been sunk 90
feet, and that now they will drift
along that level, to ascertain the
thickness of the vein. The ore is get
ting richer as they go down, and in
dications are very good. 1t has all the
indications of being valuable mine
and will no doubt make fortune for
the owners.
AS an indication of the value of
the country in the vicinity of the
Gold Run mine, the following article
In the Portland Journal will be inter
esting:

Washougal Gold & Copper Mining
company, is from St. Louis, but 10.

owns near Cape Horn, Washington,
and is one of the old time miners Of
the count y, being at Pixies Peak in
| 1859, when there were only two houses
in Denver. In speaking of his mine al
Cape Horn he said:
"We have already invested more
than $500, 600 in the mines and have

ent to buy mining machinery witt
which to furf her open up the mine
This new machinery will cost about
$75, 600 and will enable us to work
through to 600-foot level. At pres
ent we are working at 300 feet. This
in spite Of the fact that we have tC

"People told me that it would cos
$500, 900 to build the 16 miles of roaC
between Cape HON and the mines
but we have the road and will built
an electric road before next spring.

wealthy ones aud when men who have
made strikes in Alaska tell me o
their claims have to laugh. Th,
best part of thhe joke is that haVt
never had to get out a prospectus O.
the property wanted and when some
eastern capitalists wanted to buy /
they sent to mercantile agency TO
report on the mines. This is tn
only report that has ever been mad,
of the property, hut it was so gooC
that the easterners knew they woult
never be able to purchse the propert.
