City Clerk John J. Farley, with a please return n-the-compliment smile beaming from his genial countenance, replied yesterday that there was news, when the question was put to him. He said that the city was again on good financial footing, and accordingly he smiled for the sheer pleasure the am nouncement gave him.
 ITO show you that the city's heart is in the right place." he said, we are going to pay off the entire city force on Saturday. Of course it is up to us to pay off the employees who receive weekly stipends; that is very good. However, 1t is not up to us to pay off the employees who get imbursed every month, and their hearts gladdened. Monday, you see, is Labor Day, and a holiday for most parties concerned Then. too, we are all laborers, and,

 The first of September, accordingly, falling on Labor Day, is the cause of the move on the part of the city. MT. Farley announces that he and MT. Wh- Hams would like to have the officials who are employed on monthly salaries present themselves at the treasurer's office between the huros of and IF o'clock Both add, however, that none need absent themselves from their du- ties for such a paltry consideration. inasmuch as the checks can be retain ed until later date.
 The monthly payroll of the city official is s12.s00. and the weekly pay roll is $500. It Is whispered around, incidentally, that the city will not go bankrupt after the paying of these lawful debts, in spite of the fact that the first month of the new fiscal year will be but one month away.

Memorial Sermon.

4 Il
Union Memorial services we're
held IN the Presbyterian church
last Sunday morning. the sermon
being preached by Rev. A. D. Col
Inns, Ph. D. The church was well
filled, but q peculiar feature was
the fact that there was but one old
soldier in the audience. There
were soldiers wives, sons and
daughters present and the address
was fully appreciated. The fellow.
ingais 4 brief resume Of the sermon
The text WAS from Exodns XII
IA And this 'lay shall lie nnsn
you for memorial
The referenea WAS tns tile pa -
over Feaatswhich celebrated tile ,lp
liverance Of the Children Of Israel
from bondage in Egypt. A paral-
lei WAS drawn between this and our
Memorial Day when the U. s. be-
came free from the institution of
slavery.
The services on Memorial Sun
day are Of a religious character be-
cause they acknowledge God to be
supreme over nations, and because,
they memorialize the men who
gave their lives for their country.
It is the duty of Christians to hold
in grateful remembrance its heroes
and great men whom God has rails
ed up for special purpose.
The sermon treated specially Of
the great value Of love of country
and country's flag and all that it
represents. This devotion to the
principles on which the government
stands sshas preserved it, and if
maintained in the future, will con
tiaue to safeguard it from all dan
ger. The nation has a problem
which cnnfronts no other on the
earth, that of assimilating all those
who come to US with every shade Of
idea as to government and every
religion, to the principles Of the Dec
laration of independence. The ques-
ton, "Shall the government con-
tinue in safety 2" was answered in
the affirmative if only patriotism
and devotion. to the flag is continu-
ed. The observance of Memorial
Sunday, Decoration Day, Inde-
pendence Day, and the birthdays
of our great men, is a means of ed
ucating our young people, and
those who come to us from foreign
lands, to the true standard of de-
votion to our flag. This cannot
with impunity be dispensed with.
The examples of Sherman who said /,
con no account will [ think a
thought or do al act hostile to the
government of the United States, .
and of Abraham Lincoln, who was
willing to be assassinated for the
maintenance of the principles oi
the government, were given as types
of patriotism that will save the
country in any danger. Several
instances of those in the rank and
file were mentioned in the different
battles to show the intensity o
heroism and patriotism that actuat-
ed our brave boys in their struggle
to preserve the Union, also of the
fathers and mothers who cheerfullJ
gave their sons to their country.
The work of the noble and patri
otic women was also spoken of in
high terms. The speaker express
ed hope that the day might never
cease to be observed, and that the
same type of patriotism might per.
wade the minds of all in authority
and all those who WELD the ballot
in time of peace.

Silver Slippers at Weddinas.

Silver Slippers and rose petals are taking the place of rice at all fash iOnable weddings" said a clergyman. Its a change for the better.
 The silver slippers-to replace the old boots-are about half an inch long. silver paper cut in the shape of dainty slippers. The rose petals-to replace the rice-are the real thing: thousands of petals stripped by hand from hundreds of pink roses.
 Tn great bowls the silver slippers and pink petals are heaped Tn the hall and when the bride and bridegroom emerge, instead of being cannonaded with coarse rice and dirty old boots. a sunset cloud, as it were. envelopes them. an odorous pink and silver cloud of rose petals and little shining slippers.
 Yes. it is a change for the better. this. and day by day it gains ground. [" Philadelphia Bulletin.

DANGER OF cATARRH
Unless Properly Trested With Hyomei,
 Becomes Serious.

Catarrhal troubles are far more dan gerous than they seem at first thought.
 If you have cataTrh, there is an irri- tated state of the mucous membrane ana weakened tissues which afford an ideal Judgment and culture medium for disease germs. especially those of con- sumption.
 You should get cured as quickly as possible before any dangerous germs that you may breathe lodge on the diseased tissue and work destruction In the throat and lungs.
 The easiest, simplest, quickest. surest and cheapest way to cure, catarrh is by the direct method. breathing Hyomei. This wonderful medicated air treat ment does not drug and derange the stomach. but is breathed in. directly following and destroying all disease germs that may have been inhaled.
 The unusual way in which Hyomei is sold by the Larson Drug Co. is the best evidence of their confidence in the treatment and should dispel all doubt as to its curative properties They agree to refund the purchase price to anyone whom Hyomei fails to benefit. and you do not risk a cent in testing its healing virtues. A com plete outfit costs but s1.OO if it helps you. not a cent if 1t does not do all that is claimed for it.

Q QUIET DAY
The Only Excitement Being Horse
 Races and Turkey Shoot

Yesterday was a decidedly quiet day in Tempe. Almost every one observed the holiday and devoted spare time to eating Christmas dinner. Even the drug stores closed for a couple of hours in the afternoon. The post master and his assistants were kept busy the greater part of the day talk ing care of the big mornings mail. but even they managed to spare enough time 10 enjoy 9 good dinner.
 In the forenoon the turke- shoot occupied the attention of a number at the river bed and the shoot lasted un- til the supply of birds was exhausted.
 There were g number of more of less exciting horse races in the after noon on Mill avenue. south of the pub lie school. It started with one race end ended with half a dozen for purses from four bits up. No remarkable records were established. but there was plenty of good natured sport and the races served 10 supply a little amusement for an otherwise dull af- ternoon.

COPPER COMP PARSONS
 WHICH ILLUMINATE
Output of Gold and Silver Produced in Arizona as sy-Produets of Copper in 1906.
CBv Fitz-AIack.O

The sworn return made by the larger copper mines of Arizona in 1906 to the county assessors as the basis of the tax levy show that of the precious metals occurring with the copper and produced as by-products the output was:
 Value, at S20.67 per oz. sl, 354 629 Silver, ounces ............ .... 2,O63,40i Value, at .66191 cents per oz
 Leverage price for the year) .$1. .37s. .16S
 Value of both s2.732.7s7.
 Average value of both gold and sil- yer to the pound of finished copper taking the sworn tax statements as the basis, .01O7O cents.
 While this average is probably rather higher than a rigid analysis would sustain. it is a candid calcula- tion from the data furnished by the sworn tax statements.
 With this explanation the statement should serve holy purpose as tending 10 correct an inveterate habit that everywhere pervades the ordinary gos- sip of copper camps Cand even the newspaper accounts) to grossly ex-
 
 metals occurring with copper
 They all do it-everywhere.
 IL is injurious in more ways than one to all the legitimate interests of mining to have exaggerated and mis- leading stories circulated concerning the output and value of mines and districts. Such stories seldom origin ate with the responsible management of mines. They are told and written by people who do not understand what they are talking about, and they are printed by papers which for the most part desire to print only the truth. but whose editors haven't time nor the means directly at hand to anaylze closely every story sent to their desks.
 The greatest harm in the way of misleading statements comes from the fool writers of mining prospectuses.
 No mine in the country has been made the basis of so many pictur- esque and compendious lies by fool writers of mining prospectuses as the United Verde of Yavapai county. Ari- zona. The self-complacent literary swine have flooded the country with stories to the effect. CD that 1t is the greatest mine in the world: @ that Senator Clark. its principal owner. de- rives a profit of a million a month from it: (3) that the raw ore as it comes from the mine carries a gold value of $T ton which pays the whole expense of recovering the silver and copper-all of which is perfectly correct except that it isn't the biggest mine even in Arizona. that 1t doesn't earn a profit of even half million a month, and that the value of the gold in the raw ore averages only so cents a ton.
 It IS astonishing to find how many generally well-informed and candid mining men even in Arizona-even in Yavapai nty-unreflectively be- lieve and repeat those groundless tales about the United Verde. which are oily irresponsible camp gossip. when a little analysis would show their screaming absurdity-aIl of which anyone may figure out for himself from the sworn Arizona tax statement to which the penalty of perjury attaches for false swearing besides heavy money penalty.
 The plain simple truth. if they knew how to illuminate it. would serve the purpose of the foolish prospectus
