To the PubIic-MemoriaI Services

There will be a public meeting at the opera house, Sunday. May 27, immediately following the Eagles memorial services, which start at 8 p.m., to which all are cordially in vited; at which time arrangements will be made for Decoration Day services, Wednesday, May 30.
 It would show the proper spirit if all business houses would close from 10 am. to 1 pm. for the ob- servance of Memorial Day. To that end it would be only right for all their customers to consider the 3Oth of May as closed day and order their supplies to be delivered on Tuesday.

The Denver Races

Owing to the fact that there will be three of the local horses entered in the racing events to be run at Denver within the next three weeks it is not out of place to make some mention of the other entries. Ac- cording to the Denver Daily News, the Colorado Derby. which will be run on the 18th of June, will be most interesting. To date there are about thirty horses entered in this event, against twenty last year. At present the paper states that the favorites seem to be Theo Case, a Pacific coast stake horse; Valencia. who will be piloted by Jockey Bull man, and Babe B., owned by G. H. Hennessy.
 Among the entries thus far are the following horses: c. J. Cox and Fannie, of Trinidad; Miss Topsy, Oakland; Odd Ella; Lettie. of Mem phis; J. c. Glen. of Oklahoma ]; Theo. Case; Lord Nelson; Virgie Van; Gillette; Valencia; Sweet heart, b.f., Albert -Zetetic, owned by Andrew Miller, Williams, Arizona :; Beechwood; Trigg Morse; Marvin Neal; Lavenne True; Babe B.; Lena J.. of Dallas. Texas.
 Lack of space presents giving the pedigrees of the horses. but it is sufficient to state that they are all of high class, and that the event will be warmly contested.

to keep any one from teachin school after they get married?
 Pleas answer and oblige con stant reader.
 We are authorized by the com mittee to state that the $50 purse will be given to the couple who will be married in front of the grand stand on the Fourth of July, during the events there. So far there are but two applications yours and the one above.
 There is no law against mar ried man teaching school; neither is there law against a married woman teaching school; but it is only in rare instances that the lat ter is allowed to do so, unless she be a widow. At Flagstaff during the past year, or a portion of same, married lady taught school. We desire to give you some advice and trust that it will be taken in the spirit in which it is given. Judg- ing from your orthography you would make better wife than a teacher; therefore we would advise you to hunt up man, if you have none in view, and enter the con- test for the purse. This advice is given, of course, presuming that you are a woman. If you are a man you should quit teaching and go to school for a time longer be- fore you think of getting married

ENTRY FOR THE
 PUBLIC WEDDING
Young Man at Globe Ariz., Wants to Get
 Married

During his recent trip to the southern portion of the territory Mir. Jacob salzman did some good work in the interest of the Fourth of July celebration which will be held here at Williams this year. He was interviewed by reporter of the Phoenix Republican and gave him a list of the doings which will occur here on the Sd, 4th and 5th of July, and also had published list of proposed presents for the couple who will be publicly mar ried in front of the grand stand at Williams on the Fourth.
 That this advertising has borne and will continue to bear fruit was evidenced last week by a letter re- ceived by Mayor Atwood, addressed to the celebration committee from Globe. The letter is given below, and the writer speaks for himself:
 Globe, Ariz., May 16, 'O6. Fourth of July Committee, Will
 jams, Arizona:
 Gentlemen-While casting my eagle eye down the columns of the Arizona Republican, noticed an account of the happenings which are billed to make their appearance on the anniversary of the day on which our forefathers declared their independence (fCr they owed no man). Although not memb Der of that order. l have an Eagle eye.
 The main thing on the program looked good to me- Such donations as are cited would make a man willing to marry two wives. Why, couple could set up in married life most beautifully; everything from a furnished house down to paregoric for the baby. And they wouldn't have to think of expenses for a month. An! but after. the month was up, what then?
 1 scanned the column several times, but could find no donation of position to the groom. If only there were position for the groom to step into, then, with all the dona tions-house, all furnishings, COW and calf, pony, grub, etc., etc.; ah! that would be the chance of a life time. So I write to you for infor- nation. My profession is that of making a noise like page of short hand notes; or, in other words, fooling people into thinking I am recording their sayings by few scratches. I think I can scare up bride somewhere if things are favorable, and it is not necessary to go to the poor house after one month of bliss. Can you send any information to poor benighted youth who has already started in search of a girl to share the $1OO and all other donations?
 l Very respectfully,
 H. G. HENBRIx.

GRADUATING
 EXERCISES Of the Williams, Public Schools Last Fri
 day Night

At the Odd Fellows opera house on last Friday evening, May IS. the closing exercises of the Williams public schools were held. The grad uating class consisted of seven pupils, as follows: Miss Alice R. Carlson, Miss Gertrude L. Miller, Miss Harriette E. Fitzpatrick, Nor man Nellis, Corbin w. Wolf, Paul A. Yoder and Prince M. Yoder.
 Of the graduates all took part in the exercises except the two last named, and they were unavoidably absent-one because of a broken leg and the other having already accepted position which made it impossible for him to be in attend ance.
 Following is the program ren- dered:
 INVOCATION :. Rev. E. G. Decker. SALUTAToRY Norman Nellis- "Nymphs of the Elements

 F. W. Smith
 To the teachers. P. F. McMahon, principal; Julia L. .Sughrue, Har- riette E. Tefft, Vada M. Stringfeld and Bessie M. Dunn, great credit is due for the success of the pro- gram, each number being rendered in manner which showed large amount of care and time had been given to it's preparation. Aside from the work of the graduates, which was of class to have been expected from them, all numbers on the program were excelleatly executed, especially the drills in which the little tots took part.
 The opera house was crowded to it's utmost capacity and the entire audience, appreciating each indi- vidual effort and showing no par tiality in their applause, remained through the performance to witness the presentation of the diplomas The school board, which is com posed of Messrs. F. R. Nellis, Jacob Salzman and F. w. Smith, was rep resented on the stage by the latter, who with a few we'll chosen words presented the diplomas to the grad uating class.
 To the class the NEWS desires to extend it's sincere congratulations, and while we compliment them on their work in the school room which resulted so we'll, we wish to remind them of the more stern problems of life which they will now be called upon to face since. for some of them, proba bly,, their school days are over. As you haze toiled upward. having ever ia view your expected pleasure in the honor of graduation. so now you should set for yourselves tasks high in life and strive with all the latent en- ergy of your beings to reach the goal.

Washington, Oct. 2.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission has reported
an important conclusion with respect
to the railway rate law, which 1t has
embodied in a general order made
public Monday. It holds where state
rate forms part OF the interstate
rate, the state rate should be filed with
the commissioners. This is entirely
a new feature in connection with the
operations of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. In further announce.
ment made by the commission, it said
in intends wherever possible, to con.
strue the law in advance without
waiting for any particular complaint
to be made upon which to base de-
cision. In this way It is expected that
large number of complaints will be
anticipated and the work Of the com
mission correspondingly lessened.
