 WAS NO FIRE-A fire alarm was | turned in between ' and s o'clock last night from box 23, located at Center and Adams streets There was no fire. though the department made a very creditable run. The occasion for the alarm was the freakish conduct of the wind last night. The damper in the stove in the office of the Mutual Life Insurance Co.,, in the Nicholson block, was open The wind whirIing down the chimney blew the smoke and flame out into the room. Smoke was seen issuing from a window and the alarm was sent in.
 MESSAGE FROM WASHINGTON -F. H. Parker, secretary of the Wa l ter Users association, received a mes | sage last night from B. A. Fowler as 1 follows: Today secretary referred 1 contract to assistant attorney general. No cause for anxiety Have written" It will be seen therefore that some progress is being made and negOtia- | tiOns between the government and the Arizona Water company, to which this refers, are following their natural course. The inference also Is that Secretary Hitchcock has recovered [ Gr1ffiriPnrly ind
 sftIon to be at his desk. There has never been doubt concerning the mat ! ter, for it is not the practice of the | government officials to sign contracts they will later have to cancel. Still such things are possible and it is wei come news to be reassured by MT. Fowler that there is no need for anx- Iety.
 A CLOSED INCIDENT-Two or three weeks ago a couple of strangers came to town and camped on the city plaza. One of them was broken ouU with . most beautiful case of smallpox, although he did now know what was the matter with him and thought he was just recovering from a protracted spree. In order to prevent any spread Of the disease, both men were hustled | to the pest house where they remained ! UAltAA cA NOul5it bL udSS dSOs when they were discharged. The sick man made ! a good recovery and the other did not take the disease. Fortunately the affair was so cleverly handled by the police and other officials that there was no ! spread of infection and no other case 1 has been developed as a result of their visit to these parts There is now no 1 fear that any evil result will follow and there need be no nervousness. as there is not a case of the disease in the territory, so far as is known here; certainly none in the valley.
 A WORD TO sHRINERs - All 1 Shriners who pay any attention at all to the words of the prophet know that the meeting of the imperial council is | to be held in Los Angeles next May. and it is their duty to be there, even | if they have to capture a wild camel and ride him over unbroken. Vernon L. Clark, the imperial potentate of Fl Zaribah temple to which all Arizona Shriners owe allegiance, has been in correspondence with the proper people and it has been decided that the Hol- ! Ienbecl1 hotel in Los Angeles will be the headquarters of the Arizona der wishes. Last evening MT Clark re- ceived a telegram from the HolIenbeck management requesting him to report as soon as possible how many sons of the desert would require hospitality on that occasion, and particularly how many of them will want rooms and beds reserved. MT. Clark is there fore anxious that every Shriner who expects to join this pilgrimage should report to him forthwith or a little sooner if possible, that he may "fix'' him at the Hollenbeck. It is hoped ,f foi ha Iaf4 out to rustic with the "heathen dogs" but ii is the teaching of the Shrine as well as the scripture that if one don't prepare for the future he will have to take pot luck
 AN APPEAL FROM COUNTRY MEN-Mr. Kunz, the gentleman who conducts the cactus gardens in the southern part of the city, came here from Wisconsin. He has been read ing the papers pretty closely with
 view of finding out the attitude of 1 Wisconsin senators, Messrs. La Fol Ilette and Spooner. Fearing that they are not as strong in the anti-joint
 ure faith as they ought to be, and are a little frightened at the story in cir culation that the anti-jointure move ment is an enterprise in the interest of railroads, MT. Kunz has undertaken
 to give them little inside informa- ton. He knows quite a number of Wisconsin people here, people to
 whose opinions the senators ought to give consideration, so yesterday he drew up the following heading for petition and started out for sigma lures: we, the undersigned, who
 were formerly among your cOnstitu-
 ents in Wisconsin and are now resi-
 dents of the fast growing Territory of
 Arizona, do respectfully petition you to give heed to the arguments of our volunteer delegates in Washington,
 who are opposing the proposed join ling of Arizona and New Mexico as one
 state We are speaking not for any
 railroad or mining company but for ourselves and 95 per cent of the peo- lple of Arizona in general. All we
