4 Celebration in Which the Apaches
 Were Given Lessons in Patriotism.

Kelvin. Ariz.. July 5.-(Special Cor respondence to the Republican).-Yes- Ierday was the biggest day Kelvin has eN CT had An explosion of powder an- nounced the rising sun and from then on people and things were moving. The first part of the official program took place at 10 o'clock on the balcony of the Southern hotel. After preliminary patriotic music by stringed orches- tra. the Declaration of Independence was read by E. w Phillips. This was followed with a vocal solo by Miss Ninola Morgins and the address of the day by Elmer w. Coker of Florence. The Kelvin quartet concluded the ex- eIcises with the singing of America.
 By ? o'clock about five hundred per sons had assembled on the flat about the depot to witness what proved to be a very exiting baseball game. The feature of the playing by> the Kelvin team was a home run by Dr. Ira E. Brown. but the Apache Indians from San Carlos had things their own way from the second inning. The short field work of the Apache short stop resulted in many disappOintments for the other side. A score of B to sat- fsfied the Indian boys. all the specta

 An Apache boy won the foot race in the afternoon and w R. Twitchell took
 the prize for trap shooting. George
 Emmett was the winner in ludicrous potato race open to boys. And Frank Cain won first place in the bronchO riding.
 An event not scheduled. but enjoy able to spectators and participants, was Ia watermelon cutting" by one of the mercantile companies. Seventy-five lmelons were cut up and given away.
 For a time it looked as if the men do-
 ing the cutting would also be broken
 up and carried off. Bucks on horse
 back rode into the crowd and irAach- ing down swooped away the quarters
 while the older Indian men and the
 women of all ages crowded in and away with the melons a little bit fas-
 ter than the:' could be cut.
 i At dusk from the heights on the west
 side of the creek and affording a splen-
 did view to every one. the display of
 fireworks was set off. As the colored lights burned and bombs bursted in the ai- the lightning played along the mountain peaks and added to the eff ! feet of the display.
 A big bonfire was built on the plaza land around Hhe blazing logs the iApaches held prolonged Devil Dance" For hours four bucks barred Ito the waist and wearing long plaid cloths that reached to the knees. light logging sandals and a headgear that e mpletely covered the face danced whirled and twirled 10 the weird music of an Indian orchestra. The dancers wore streamers of red. their faces were completely covered with a mask. and on top of the head of each was fast ened d three pronged ornament about three feet long. Bells rang from their garments. The scene was one to be re- lmembered and the natural setting Of the night was Ideal Black clouds in tensified the light of the fire which | lit up the plaza and showed the en- during work of the dancers while the whole effect lent itself as a setting for the drumming and chanting of the In- dians in the circle. Before the Devil Dance" had finished the white people opened the closing event of the day-a Ddii III lnt ulniIS room 0 nOlei. IL was largely attended and the refined merriment of the participants gave evidence of their pleasure The day was a grand success and the native Americans carried off the honors. One of the picturesque sights was a wagon with fifteen Indian women who fol- lowed closely the work of the Indian boys.
 The white dresses of the English speaking women, the lowered ones of the Mexicans and the highly and vari- colored garments of the Indian squaws with their long flowing hnli'--- gears made brilliant the crowd at the ball game and the gathering about the camp fire, while with all blended the stars and stripes-the red. white and blue.

A THREATENING FIRE
 IN RESIDENCE DlSIRlCT
Three Handsome North Center Street Residences Were Almost Miracu- iously Saved.

The most threatening conflagration since the Boston Store fire broke out Iyesterday afternoon on North Center street in the heart of one of the most 1 important residence districts. That it's
 threat was not executed seems to have
 proved the existence of q divine provi- dence for men had nothing whatever
 to do with the averting of the catas-
 trophe.
 The blaze started in barn in the
 rear of the residence of l. Rozensweig and is thought to have been caused
 by fire cracker. An alarm was turn ed in promptly and the response of the department was reasonably prompt.
 but the department might as we'll have
 remained at home. There was no wat | CT to fight with. The residents of the nearby houses on Center street and First avenue were busy at work with garden hoses. but the streams could
 not reach the caves of the houses above which all the danger lay.
 i The barn burned without restraint and the flames were communicated to the barn back of the house of William 1 Mayors south of the Rozenweig barn and to the barn of the Borton prop erty occupied by pr. w. G. LentZ on the north. All three of the buildings burned furiously and nearby outhous- es were quickly destroyed. Some outbuildings of the property of C. A. Stauffer on First avenue also went up in flame and smoke.
 The Rozensweig barn was small but pretentious structure and was in fact more than a barn. IL had been fitted up as sort of store room and it contained several trunks filled with clothing. silks and other valuable goods. The loss of MT. Rozensweig is not less than $500 only partially cov cred by insurance which had been talk en out just before the Fourth.
 A light wind form the west was blowing the heat and flames against the three handsome buildings on Center street and onlookers expected every instant to see them burst into flames. small summer sleeping room near one of the barns actually caught fire. but by that time the burning barns were subsiding for want of material and also by that time the firemen had succeeded in getting water. but not in sufficient volume a@ to throw it far up on the roofs Of the houses. The side of the sleeping room was drench- ed and in a few minutes the heat from the barns began to abate. The short age of the pressure is said to have been due to the absence of mains ot suffi- cient size in that neighborhood. If any one of the residences had become ig- nited the street would probably have been swept for a long distance.

one small tract that was owned by a civil war veteran, named Lamora. Lamora refused to sell and persisted in fishing in a stream which ran through Rockefeller's estate and in us- ing roads which had been public. it is said for a generation. The postoffice was abolished and another was opened at Bay Pond. three miles within the confines of the estate. There the peo- pie who formally received mail at Brandon were expected to get it.
 Lamora was arrested for trespassing on Rockefeller's estate. and he and friends fought the case in the courts but were eventually defeated. The matter was brought to the attention to the postmaster general by letter from various parts of the country and he determined to take steps which will assure eonviences for the people of tha i city.

Do Not Neglect Simple Rules.

You cannot afford to neglect the simple rules of health; 1t is very essential that you have regular hours for sleeping and eating. Get sufficient amount of sleep each night, rising early in the morning and taking a moderate amount of exercise before your morning meal There is an intimate relation between the mind, heart and body. The mind is governed by cor- tain definite positive laws, and 1t is es- sential that we give due attention to the requisites of these laws. Nature has pro- vided a channel In which our mind Is to have a normal activity, and no man can take 1t out of It's natural drift and use 1t to a successful advantage in another channel. Whenever he does this he wrecks 'his whole career and reaps nothing but failure. In order that our mental facul- ties may be elevated to a high standard we must draw our mind away from the lower things of life and reach out after those principles which to apply to our lives make of us the ideal type of man hood. a man of power among men and honored of God. Never harbor an evil suggestion for a moment. Turn away and say, I won't You cannot afford to daily with temptation. Do not read a book that you cannot read and be pure while read ing it. pr. Talmage was asked how the awful influence of bad books could be overcome. Fill the world with good books, was his reply. The way to over come a bad thought is to fill the mind with good thoughts"

cotton plants Is a feature in reports to the Picayune on conditions for the week ending today in Louisiana and the south ern half of Mississippi. The old crop is three months In advance of the youngest crop, with corresponding differences in the size of plants. This renders the out look grave, according to some correspond ents. A long period of good weather is absolutely necessary. A storm of any severity would endanger the major por- ton of the crop. Planters find some L ficulty In caring for this character of crop, for in some fields a plant barely knee high and another at the maturing stage are found side by side. Reports on condition range from 10 to 30 per cent, and it is generally conceded that the crop has gained one to two points during the week on extremely favorable weather.
 Boil weevils continue their ravages in the Red river section of Louisiana. Con certed effort is made there to gather the weevils by hand and burn both the pest and the punctured bolls and this has had some good results"

WEATHER FOR PAST WEEK HAS BEEN VERY FAVORABLE, BUT THE PLANT IS STILL SMALL AND WILL MATURE LATE.

Memphis, Tenn. July 14.-The Commer- cial Appeal will tomorrow publish tho following cotton review
 High temperatures and sunshine were very beneficial to cotton, which made rapid growth during the week. The most favorable reports of the season are now received from practically the entire cot ton belt. There are some reports of time lost early in the season. but over the belt as a whole the crop is still late and the plant small. The laying by cultivatio will be given much later than usual be- cause of the small size of the plant.
 Oklahoma and Texas report slower cul- tivation than elsewhere, largely be- cause of labor scarcity and partly because the rainfall during the week was heaviest in these states. The eastern section of the
