COMMENDABLE ENERGY
Militia Company Needed Good
Quarters and Got Them.

Militia Company Needed Good
Quarters and Got Them.
The completion and furnishing
OF the new Armory by Co, g. NC.
l., is q good example Of what we'll
directed energy and harmonious
action will accomplish. When the
company was first organized there
was no suitable place in the city
for quarters and drilling. The
state made . yearly allowance Of
s4OO, with which to rent q build
ing, but property was held too high
to get anything that would answer
the purpose for that money.
Through efforts Of members Of the
company, DIR. Bibby was induced
to erect the present commodious
building, but the state oppropri-
alton would barely pay the rent
leaving nothing with which to
supply light, heat and furnishings.
The boys then decided to convert
| il into an opera house at their own
expense. To, build stage, paint
curtains and scenery and buy
chairs required over . $1,000 but al
Of this has been pledged and when
the chairs arrive they will have ar
opera house Of which any town
might feel justly proud. They have
met all of their bills promptly anC
with the production Of "The Volun
teer" on January 20, which will b
the opening performance, they ex
pect to be in easy financial circum
stances. To produce this result wa
no small task and could onl.
be brought about by earnest an
harmonious efforts. The Who'll
town is the better for it and
stands aa q witness of what ma
be accomplished in other lines.

Progressive Whist.

F. L. Leonard, cashier Of the
Grangeville Savings and Trust
entertained about thirty
Of his gentlemen friends at his
home last Thursday evening. In
contrast to the usual social gather
ing, no ladies were invited and the
only time the fairer sex made an
was when lunch was
served which was cleverly done by
Mrs. Leonard, Mrs. flames, and
Mrs. Bell. The evening was spent
in progressive bridge whist and
while everybody enjoyed them
selves hugely, there was abun.
dance of fault finding, because
partners played poorly. The prize
was won by J. 1. Ovefman and
Martin Wagner, but some contend
that it was luck rather than ekill
that gave them the victory.
1t was q late hour before the
the party broke up and each gentle.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
Unsuccessful Attempt to Get
Y. M. c. A. Funds.

An attempt was made Sunday
night to rob the Y. NJ. G. A. build
ing and the culprit was evidently
familiar with the conditions at that
time or it would not have suggested
itself as money is seldom kept in
the house. The association had
given a dinner the evening before
and at the same time collected
quite a sum in dues So that Secre.
tary Van Vert had something over
500 in his possession.
Mr.. Van Vert was aroused some
time after retiring by hearing some
one moving in the bath room.
Getting up he picked up q sword
lying near and this act must have
been heard by the robber as he i'm
mediately made a rush to get out.
Mr.. Van Vert rushed out at
side door just as the intruder was
leaving the back one and made q
lunge at him but missed the mark
The party lost no time in getting
away and disappeared in the direc'
ton OF the fred light district.
Although it was quite dark Mr..
Van Vert could see that the mar
was of more than medium size anG
wore heavy dark mustache.
The case seems something lik'
robbing a church but it probabl!
would never have been thought o
had it not been known that tn
money was being temporarily hell
in the building. As it is, the sam
party will not likely want to try j
again so long as 60 vigilaut q watch
man is in charge.

Tag Your Dogs.

Chief of Police Hanger reports q
number Of dogs running about the
town without the necessary license
tag and wishes to give notice that
unless license is secured for such
animals at once they will be taken
up and killed. In some cases the

necessary as this is the only means
the police have Of knowing what

"COFFEE JAGS." The Doctor Named Them Correctly.

Some ohe said Coffee never hurts anyone" Inquire of your friends and note their experiences. \ Philadelphia woman says: During the last ? or 3 years I be- , came subject to what the doctor call ed coffee jags' and felt like I have heard men say they feel who have drank too much rum. It nauseated me. and I felt as though there was nothing but coffee flowing through my veins.
 Coffee agreed well enough for q time. but for a number of years I have known that it was doing me great harm, but, like the rum toper. I thought could not get along without it. It made me nervous. disordered my di- gestion, destroyed my sleep and brought on frequent and very distress ing headaches.
 When l got what the doctor called Q coffee jag on, I would give up drinking it for a few days till my stomach regained a little strength. but l was always fretful and worried and nervous till I was able to resume the use of the drug
 About year ago I was persuaded to try Postum, but as I got it in rest aurants it was nothing but a sloppy mess. and of course I didn't like it. Finally I prepared some myself az home. following the directions careful ly, and found it delicious. I persevered in it's use, quitting the old coffee en- irely. and feeling better and better each day, till I found at last, to my great joy, that my ailments had all disappeared and my longing for coffee had come to an end.
 T have heretofore suffered intensely from utter exhaustion. besides the oth- CT ailments and troubles, but this sum- Iner, using Postum, I have felt fine Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich

 Gentlemen: My appreciation of the expression of your appreciation re- ceived this morning is very keen. While the highest satisfaction is the consciousness Of having done right, closely following it is the knowledge that others give one credit for sin cerity.

 Permit me to thank you and to congratulate you upon your efforts and to express the hope and belief that you will succeed in maintaining Arizona's independence.

His Reelection is Good Business for

J. Ernest Walker, who returned from Los Angeles expressly to vote Tor, NIT. Fowler and exert what tever in JIuence he can in his behalf, said .nat he was so intensely interested in the issue that he would like to be uuoccd. Whereupon he has authorized the fol- lowing:
 To the Editor of The Republican:
 Sir: l conceive the reelection of MT. Fowler to be of such vital imDor- tance that no legitimate influence should be withheld from accomplish ing that result Like many others who are bending their energies to this achievement, I was one of the mem bers of the original storage commit tee who labored long and arduousIv to get the reservoir project under way Like them, my interests are large, have been from the very be- ginning, and l hope that they will con unue to be. l nave always had an abiding faith in Mr. Fowler, notwith- standing l may have differed on minor questions, and I still think there al numerous reasons why he should Ee retained in the direction of an enter prise he has so successfully promoted to the present time. Though MT. Fowler deserves all the credit the peo- pie of this valley can give him, the matter is of much more importance than that of rewarding a faithful ser want. It is simply good business anC good business is what the people ia this valley want today more than ever before. l also believe that the opinion of those who have stood for the asso- citation from the beginning. most of whom are MT. FOwler's supporters. should be of great weight with those who have more recently come to the valley or more recently interested themselves in water affairs I am for Mir Fowler to the fullest of my strength.

It was estimated that about 200 were present. nearly all of them personally interested in the matters under discussion. They gave earnest attention and were iib- eral in their applause.
 The meeting was a little late in it's beginning, so that it was not finished when the train returned to Phoenix. Governor Kibbey having spoken and having Phoenix engagements, came back on the train, leaving MT. Fo, Ter still addressing the people. Dr Chandler presided, and after very ap- propriate introductory remarks. pre- sented MT. Fowler, who spoke rather briefly in reviewing the past. in order to give Judge Kibbey the floor

THE MIIEORDINANCE.
Difficult to Fhd aa Official to
 Enforce the Law.

Whose duty is 1t to enforce tho milk ordinance, or, in other words. to see that all dealers take out g license to sell milk? City Clerk Sandland says that Milk and Food Inspector Keeley is supposed to do the work. while the latter. at the meeting of the board of health last evening. stated it was not in his line. Keeley stated that last year the city clerk did the work and that he should do 1t this year. Consequently the board voted to notify City Clerk Sandland that he look after the milk licenses
 When the manager of the City Official baseball team was told to- day that it was up to him to see that the milk ordinance was enforced his wrath knew no bounds, and if Dr Keeley came in sight there would have been things doing. The city clerk says that 1t is not in his line to see that dealers take out milk H. censes and asserts that he has no intention of carrying out the instruc- tions of the board of health. Last year 309 dealers took out licenses to sell milk. Only 269 have taken out the licenses this year and 1t is up to some one to make the tardy ones set- tie
