Young Washingtonians were strenuous
fifty years ago and many were their rough
pranks and destructive en-
Dung terprises In the issues of
u.,do1. The Star Of July 16 and II,
1857, are notes of their do
ings with a political bearing. The former
is as follows:
"a dastardly attempt, might or two
ago. was made to fire the building occupied
by primary school No. 2, south district
Miss Lee, teacher), but the flame luckily
was discovered by person occupying the
adjoining house and it was extinguished in
season to avert a serious conf1agration in
the several frame buildings adjacent"
The other item is the following:
I'm addition to the outrages noticed in
yesterdays paper we now have to speak
Of villainies Of the same character, per-
petrated probably by the same set Of
scoundrels, upon several school rooms Of
the first and second districts Wednesday
night. The rooms occupied by the schools
under Miss Thompson. Mrs. Ogden. Miss
Randolph and Miss Billings were forcibly
opened and the most wanton destruction
was made Of the furniture. books. papers.
school reports. desks and even of the
clocks. Ink was poured upon every object
that was susceptible of Disagreement and in
all their movements the perpetrators seem
to have been actuated by spirit Of ma
licious mischief really hellish. We must
give such villains, however, the credit of
showing considerable astuteness in thus
most formidable opponent of themselves
and their vile courses. Down with the bal
lot box down with the schools! seems to
be the rallying cry of this league"

Rates of fare will be the lowest first class round trip that can be made under the present interstate commerce law and similar recent state legisla- ton in western states. The round-trip rate quoted is $75.00 from Chicago, $6s.00 from St. Louis, Memphis and New Orleans. and sso.00 from Omaha, Kansas City. Houston and common points.
 The same rates will prevail to San Francisco and Los Angeles with Sac ramento as the validation point.
 The granting of these low rates is of very great importance and assures a large attendance at the national ir- rigation congress- Great plans are being made here with a view to en- tertaining many thousand people. This will be the first time in many years that special rates have prevailed to California during September. the prin- cipal harvest season, and with a view to enabling visitors to make the most of this opportunity to see the Golden state. a series of harvest excursions and harvest series festivals are being arranged throughout the state.

MESA NINE WILL EN6AGE
 IN BATTLE AT PRESCOTT
Three Games Will Be Played With
 Other Teams For a Purse of $500.

The base ball aggregation from Mesa, having cleaned up about every thing that can swing a bat in this section, is now looking forth for new worlds to conquer. To accomplish this 1t will be necessary to seek a higher altitude where they grow base ball teams like you used to read about in the papers. The Mesa Amusement Club is arranging to go to Prescott. and on the 3rd, 4th and 5th of July will play a series of three games. Manager Daley and R. Cooley of Mesa were in the city yesterday looking after some local timber that they think they can use in strengthening their team. MT. Daley announced last night that he had arranged to take the Phoenix Athletics star first baseman. Graham, along with them to Prescott. It will certainly be worth a good deal to the game to have Graham there to hold down the initial sack, because he is there with the big init and is also a clean dependable ball player. The Mesa aggregation will have a good supply of pitchers so that at no time will the battery be overworked in playing three games in as many days. Williams. the little wonder. Millet and Jones, who also can put the proper twist on the horsehide, will serve up full list of the catalogued shoots to mystify the batsmen of the tall pines. Cuber will be the receiver.
 The first game will be played with Humboldt. the second with Prescott's strong nine. and the third has not yet been arranged but will be in a day or two. Manager Daley said the boys were practicing every evening and get ting in good shape for the series. and he expects to outfit the strongest team that ever visited the city mile high. There will be a pot of 5000. 60 per cent for the winners and 40 for the losers. A good crowd of rooters will accompany the team to Prescott and Manager Daley expects conf- dently his team to return home world beaters and jingling the dinero.

AN IMPORTANT MttIIN6
 FOR PHOtN NIX AND VICINITY
That of the Executive Committee of The National Irrigation Congress at Chicago Next Saturday.

A meeting of the executive commit tee of the National Irrigation congress will be held at Chicago next Satur- day. The meeting is to be one of more than ordinary importance, since on the result of it may depend the attitude the next session of the congress to be held at Sacramento beginning Sep tember ?, will assume toward the sub ject of national irrigation.
 Hon. B. A Fowler who is the oldest member of the committee in point of continuous service. having been a member for seven years, will leave next Tuesday for Chicago. An effort is being made by the same influences which succeeded in the calling of the Denver convention to control the con- venuon at Sacramento. These influ- ences are antagonistic to the reclama- tion service and therefore more or less antagonistic to the Salt River valley project. which stands out in the work or the reclamation service more prom inent than any other. It is the first one inaugurated by the service, and is the one which has received more at tention from the reclamation officials.
 The following warning against the designs of these adverse influences was recently sounded by the St. Paul Pioneer Press: Unless the friends of national irrigation shall be on their guard. another step in the adverse propaganda is likely to be taken at the meeting of the National Irrigation congress at Sacramento in September The protracted effort of the enemies of the national irrigation law to con- trol the expressions of that body was temporarily defeated at the Boise meeting last year, through the pres ence of the friends of the law in a de- cisive majority. But, although such friends dictated the form of the reso- lutions adopted. they permitted the enemy to got control of the organiza- tion: and the effort of the present off, ficers will undoubtedly be to pack the Sacramento congress in the interest of the skinners and the monopolists.''

UNBEATABLE
 SUFFERING
Drove George W. Crook
 to Suicide
The Buckeye NeighbOr- hood Shocked Yesterday by a Horrible Tragedy.

George w. Crook a farmer of the Buckeye country, yesterday morning could stand the pain no longer and ended it all with a Winchester His body was found shortly after daylight in a shed nearly a half mile from his home with his brains entirely blown out. He had placed the muZzle of a 30-4e rifle against the side of his head and with his right hand had moved the trigger. The hair about the wound was slightly singed but there were no powder marks for the powder had entered the head. The eyes were forced from their suckets by the force of the explosion. The bullet which was of the soft nosed kind tore a hor- rible hole at the exit. No one heard the sound of the shot.
 Crook lived about four miles this side of the town of Buckeye. He arose sometime in the night. nobody heard him and went to the home of his brother-in-law a man by the name of Carter about a half mile west. About twenty-five yards from the Carter house there is an open shed contain ing a carpenters bench and tools. Crook entered that and placing the stock of the gun on top of the bench ended his life,
 He had been driven to self destruc- tion by a nervousness and intense re- curing pains with which he had been afflicted for years. Before coming to Phoenix he visited a physician at To- peka, Kansas and was told that his nervousness was of an incurable va riety. The only consolation the physi- elan offered him was the statement that he might be able to bear his af- fliction and pain without becoming in sane.
 The pain he had endured for several days had been more than ordinarily excruciating and only a day or two ago he was heard to say that he was thankful that no one else had to bear SO great agony. His family however had observed no unhinging of his mind and trusted that the agony of suffer ing would pass as it had done so often before.
 The body was found shortly after five o'clock. When Mrs. Cook arose at four she was not apprehensive for the safety of her husband for he had been accustomed to arise at all hours of the night when those pains had seized him. But this time when he had not re- turned at the usual hour a search was instituted for him.
 As soon as the body was found steps were taken to report the tragedy to the local authorities but Justice Jones of Buckeye precinct was away and

word was, sent to Phoenix. Acting Coroner Johnstone accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Adams went down and inquest was held.
 MT. Crook was forty-seven years of age and had lived in the Buckeye country for about two years. He was a native of Iowa but before coming to Arizona he had lived for some time in Kansas. He leaves beside his wife. two grown sons, three grown daugh- ters and three smaller children.
