DISTRACTED FAMILY
 OF YOUNG ZIMMERMAN
4 Letter From Him Immediately Pre-
 csdins His Suicide.

There was received at Merryman' s undertaking establishment yesterday a telegram from D. J. Zimmerman, the father of William Zimmerman, whose decomposed body was found near the fair grounds on Saturday morning, re questing that the body be embalmed and held for orders. The body was long past embalming when it was found, and was immediately buried.
 Last week an inquiry concerning the whereabouts of young Zimmerman from his father was printed by The Republican. Another letter from St. Louis received at this office yesterday explains the fears of the young mans relatives for his safety. The letter is from F. M. Wright, assistant treasurer of Samuel Cupples Wooden Ware com pany, and is as follows: A German family, near neighbors of the writer, have received a letter from their son, Will Zimmerman at Phoenix. May 26. in which he stated that he had an in curable disease and that by the time the letter reached them he would be gone. They think that he wrote the letter while in despondent mood and

THE COUNTS ROADS
 DEFINITELY LOCATED
A New Map Just Completed by EDgi'
 neer Streitz.

County Surveyor G. A. Strei tz yes terday turned over to the board of su- pervisors a new road map of the tcoun- ty. It is in two parts, one including that part of the county north of the meridian and the other that part south. The maps are drawn upon the largest pieces of drawing paper obta.inable here, each being fifty-two inches III length.
 The gathering of the data for the map has occupied a long time, illvolv- ing a search of all the records of the board and of all the surveys which have been made. Both sources of Infor- nation were found to be defectives but by a system of comparison and aveTag- ing. the new map has been made as accurate as possible. The rods run ming on section lines are all of conrse, absolutely accurate, but in the case of other roads, there is frequently no data of any description relating to mean ders
 The preparation of this map has dis closed a great deal of indefiniteness as to the boundaries of the county. In the fixing of the southwest corner of Mar icopa, the survey was made jointly by the surveyors of this and Yuma coun- ties. and their field notes show that they made an error of twenty four miles They were looking for stake set by the government surveyors. When they got into the neighborhood where they thought it was, they made. as the field notes filed in both this and Yuma counties say, "a search with due diligence" They naturally failed to find it, since it was precisely twenty four miles north, entirely out of the radius of their diligent search.
 In the fixing of the county bounda
 ries by statute there was a refreshing recklessness of description. For in- stance. in fixing the boundary between this county and Yavapai, one of the points mentioned is Jack Swilling's s house. where it stood on the bank of the Agua Fria on January 31, 1SSI." Another is "a point on the Agua F'ria about two miles below the mouth of Humbug creek" The fact that the [ rivers of Arizona are liable to shift their positions from one season to an- other to distances varying from a half mile to two miles seemeG not to have been taken into account.
 A description of one section of the boundary between Maricopa and Gila ] is said to be along TontO creek. Which bank of the creeK or whether the center of the creek, is not mention- ] ed A part at least, of the TOnto dam | is affected by the various constructions [ of the meaning of this description. The land in the neighbOrhood of these indefinite boundaries was not very val uable in those days and for that matter 1 is not much more valuable yet, but it lis liable to become so at any time. The
 most serious possibility is that some time it may be necessary to fix the venue of crime That would have to
 be done with difiniteness. Or, a rich
 and taxable mine may be discovered
 near the boundary line and then the

U. and they were taken care of. His wife is now living on East Van Buren street She desired that her husband should have a decent burial but she had no money. The parents of her husband were supposed to be well-to- do but the wife did not appear to know anything about them. She only knew that Miss Name Geary, the well known violinist. was a sister. and it was sur missed that if she could be located she would defray the expenses of the burial.
 She was last known to be at the Auditorium. Chicago. A telegram was sent there but no reply has come nor can information be secured from any other source as to her possible where abouts.

A MOUNTAIN VACATION.


 A. Ketcherside accompanied by his wife arrived in the city yesterday morning from Yuma and left this morning on the Santa Fe for Cherry Creek station on the Prescott and Eastern road. from which point they will travel overland to the Mogollon mountains.

Prof. Madden, principal of the Crane school, near Yuma, accompanied them as far as Phoenix and will leave today for the Tonto country, where he will spend a vacation. Dr. Ketcherside said the high water has interfered great deal recently with the work on the Laguna dam project and that the government and the contractors are devoting their attention now in the main to the work of building the leVee which is part of the enterprise. In about a week 1t IS thought work will be begun on the canal, which is to run through the town from the river, it being necessary to tunnel beneath the hill on which the territorial prison is located.

THE LITTLE WIDOW
A Mighty Good Sort of a Neighbor to Have

"a little widow, a neighbor of mine,
persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when
my stomach was so weak that it would
not retain food of any other kind"
writes a grateful woman, from San
Bernardino Co., Cal.
81 had been i'll and confined to nv
bed with fever and rvo prostration
for three long months after the birth
of my second boy. We were in despair
until the little widows advice brought
relief.
Il liked Grape-Nuts food from the
beginning, and in an incredibly short
time it gave me such strength that l
was able to leave my bed and enjoy my
three good meals a day. In two months
my weight increased from ninety-fve
to 113 pounds, my erv had steadied
down and I felt ready for anything.
My neighbors were amazed to see me
gain so rapidly and still more so when
they heard that Grape-Nuts alone had
brought the change.
"My fo~ur-year-old boy had eczema,
very bad, last spring and lost his ap-
petite entirely, which made him cross
and .peevish. l put him on a diet of
Grape-Nuts, which he relished at once.
He improved from the beginning, the
eczema disappeared and now he is fat
and rosy. with a delightfully."- soft, clear
skin. The Grape-Nuts diet did 1t. l
will willingly answer all inquiries"

Hair Demonstration.

Among hair ornaments imported for
a recent bride, and who will wear them
at the opera on her return from her
bridal trip, are two worth describing,
says the New York Times. One is a
little wreath formed of seven roses of
cloth of silver, set close together on
a flexible silver wire shaped into a
ring, that is pinned to the side of the
coiffure; from this ring rises one short
white ostrich plume that curls over
and down nearly to the roses at the
front.
=. The other ornament is a large gold
rose, from which rises 9 single wide
white quill veined with gold. Tendrils
or whatever they may be-ostrich tips
are fastened to the edge of the stiff
quill, each tiny curling tendril being
caught to the quill by a drop of dull
gold, the tendrils forming a curling
fringe.

shoulders, said:

might teach us why some marriages

"a man and his wife were walking
down a back street. The man had his
hands in his pockets. The woman car.
rled a basket filed with cabbage and
beets.
"a group of boys danced like inns
on a corner. They had snowbaIls in
their hands. AS soon as the married
couple had passed Them they let drive.
"But only the woman was struck,
She got two heavy blows about the
head and face. Every SNOWFALL, some.
how, missed the man.

brushed the snow out of her ears and
hair, and then he shook his fist at the
boys and shouted:

young rascals, that you didn't hit me.''

Bad Money In Church

Vestrymen in a number of New York
churches are complaining of the guam
tity of counterfeit coins found In the
collection boxes nowadays. Time was
when a piece of bad money in the con-
tribution box was a curiosity. Per-
sons who were unfortunate enough to
get stuck with spurious coins took
good care not to pass them off on the
church. Whether they are less con-
scientious now or less able to detect
the character Of the change they han
die is a question.
Churchmen hesitate to suspect the
congregation of saving up counterfeit
dimes. quarters and half dollars for
the collection plate as the easiest way
of discharging their church duties and
at the same time getting rid of bad
money, but with all their charitable in.
tentions there are those counterfeit
coins to be explained away somehow
