1 the election program was without a flaw.
 Then came a new complication. The regular monthly meeting of the board of supervisors comes on the first Mon day and the board desired very much to meet and dispose of important
 business. It was believed it could not
 do so on a legal holiday. One man
 who swears by the statutes of Arizona
 said it was not for the reason that the session laws of the Twenty third leg
 islature took occasion to declare cer-
 tain legal holidays. It was pointed out
 to him that Labor Day was made a
 legal holiday by congress in the Dis
 trict of Columbia and is made a legal holiday in various commonwealths by proclamation of the governor He then contended that the governor had issued no proclamation, so the next thing was to telephone the capitol for information. The reply was that the governor had issued a proclamation but that he intedded to.
 It is a frequently repeated saying that there is no national holiday, not even the Fourth of July, and it is true, technically speaking, but it has recog- nied certain days as holidays, for com iii0i Nis'N puip poSSS. INV LII the exception of making Labor Day a legal holiday in the District of Columbia there is no general statute on the subject.
 Certain days, however. are legal holidays in Arizona, regardless of what the rest of the world does The legislature of 1905 passed an act section I of paragraph 1909. | chapter S1 of the revised statutes. to read as follows in mart.
 Section l. Sunday, the first day of ! January, the 22nd day of February. the | 3Oth day of May, the 4th day of July | and the 18th day of December. the day | on which a general election is held. | Day and Arbor Day. ! shall each and all be holidays"

FAMOUS OLD TREE.

A famous old tree. one of the sights of Cairo, has fallen. This was the Sycamore at Matarieh qIeliopolis), and 1t was known as the Virgins tree, be- meath whose shade the holy family was said to have found shelter after its flight into Egypt. This was doubted as a matter of history, but the senti- ment attaching to the tree led tourists to carry away pieces of it's bark and leaves as souvenirs.

BALL PLAYING AND PIETY.

l Dear Sir-I have heard and read a good deal about Evangelist Billy Sun day. and l have often wondered if it l is really possible for a ball player to be a good Christian. Travelling around the country as they do. and engaged in work that calls for such physical su- periority. how can they give any ! thought or energy to the matter of religion?

 Several other ball players. some of them still in the game, have pro nounced religious convictions. Dave Fultz, known to all New Workers and to rOOters everywhere is a devout Christian and church worker and I dare say he found it easier 10 live up to his beliefs when he was playing the game than he does now as a Wall street lawyer.

 Probably as unique a character as ever broke into baseball was Pitcher Crabill. who did slab service for the Columbus club in the American asso- ciation. He was a full hedged parson and also a full-hedged pitcher. almost invincible when he was in good form. Tall. sim as a pole and with perhaps the saddest, longest face ever seen on d ball field he mixed up his curves with great deliberation and perfect control. Had the home plate been a contribution plate he could not have kept a keener eye upon it.

with the character of the performances
thus far presented. The shows given in

been pronounced excellent in every sense
OF the word. But this evening the posi-
tive quality will be changed to the COM
parative in the ascending scale; that is,

pictures are excellent The Train
Wreckers is marvellous achievement
in the line Of pictorial kinetics. The
picture is highly suggestive. TO see it
is to experience that which affords
material for thrilling, realistic novel
whose ending Is OF character that
justifies the remark that the objective
story told by the picture" has distinc-
tive moral effect. This picture the

In number of the cases referred to
the complaint was dismissed for the
reason that it was found that the defend

suits were started in Justice Markham
court. Attorney G. B. Hastings of
Kaukauna appeared for the company.
One case, that against Bernard Bunge

did not appear in court, the case was
adjourned for three weeks. 1t is likely
that settlement will be effected bef ore

IN COLLISION

An automobile No 1443, driven by a
Kaukauna man, collided last Friday, on
Washington street, with buggy oc.
cupied by Mrs. Gunderson and her
daughter of Cato. The vehicle was
struck with such violence that both oc'
cupants were thrown from it and hurled
upon the ground. Mrs. Guuderson suf-
fered several bruises and cuts about the
head, and Miss Gunderson was also pain
fully hurt.
A basket of eggs and several jars of
butter which the ladies were taking to
market were dumped into the street and
spoiled.
The name of the driver of the auto
was not learned but, as the number of
his machine is known, the name of the
owner can be learned 1t is likely that
a damage suit will be brought against
the man whose negligence caused the
accident.

SAN FRANCISCO
VISITED BY TERRIFIC
EARTHQUAKE

At 5:13 o'clock Wednesday morning
San Francisco. Cal, was visited by a
terrific earthquake. The first shock
was followed by three other distinct
shocks, the last one occurring at about
11:c0 q. m. At this writing it is
estimated that $1,000 lives have been
lost and that $.O0,OOO,0OO worth of
property has been destroyed.
Immediately after the first shock a
destructive fire broke out; and, as the
water works had been put out of COM
mission, the fire department was help
less, and all that could be done in the
way of checking the terribly destructive
conhagration was to resort to the use of
dynamite to tear down buildings in or
der to check the rapid spreading of the
raging flames
Eight square miles of the magnificent
metropolis of the Pacific coast are in
ruins. Next to the APPALLING loss of life
the most calamitous result of the dire
disaster that has befallen the folden
Gate city is the fact that many thousands
have been injured, and multitude of
others rendered homeless.
The shock Of the earthquake was felt
over large area in California. and
many lives We're lost, and considerable
property was destroyed, in a number of
cities within a radius of fifty or hundred
miles from San Francisco. The Golden
Gate city is now under military govern
ment. United States troops were order

terday to assist in relieving the situa-
ton. The water system is again in
operation. Much outside help is COM
