WILL ALBA REBUILD?

A glance over the list OF losses in the
Alba fire shows that an astonishingly
small per cent we're covered by insur-
ance Of any hind. This apparent lack
Of forethought is said to have been the
result Of the excessive insurance rates
on account OF the towns lack Of
fire-fighting facilities and the fact that
that most of the buildings we're 'frame''
The question naturally rises, will the
town be rebuilt? Will or will not the
merchants who lost their places Of bust
ness replase them with modern, brick or
stone structures, secure some means OF
protection against fire aud resume bust

to the big towns upon every possible oc.
casion and for every real and fancied

more strongly than the fact that OF the

HAD 4 FINE VISIT.
S. M. Chandler Saw Jamestown Ex.
position, Visited Old Home, and
Found Long Lost Brother.

Mayor s. Nj. Chandler has returned
from six weeks trip over the eastern
part OF the country, his itinerary iuclud.
ing points 10 Virginia, his old home. and
Ohio, where some Of his relatives and
many friends Of 'py-gone days have set.
tied. 1t had been forty years since Mr.. /
Chambers eyes had rested on the old
home scenes. and altho he found many
changes, his visit to the old haunts was
the source OF perhaps the keenest pleas
ure he has experienced 10 years. Among
the points visited were the jamestown
exposition; Roanoke, his old home;
Monticello, the birthplace OF Jefferson;
Mon tpelier, the old John Quincy Adams
home; Sevsn Pines and other historic
points 10 the old blood. stained "wilder.
ness" Of tho COS. Mr.. Chambers visit
was the occasion OF much rejoicing am.
ong his old friende, who escorted him
from place to place looking up other
friends sud seeing thath enjoyed thor.
oughly every moment Of his stay.
| The most enjoyable event Of Mr..
| Chandler's trip was his discovery Of
brother, Joseph Chandler, whom he
had not seen since he left the old home
and Of whom he and other relatives had
lost all trace for moro than twenty years.
After searching over AL the counties 10
which no thought his brother might be
located and finding no trace Of him he
was about to give up the hope Of seeing
him again, when BY the mersst chance
he encountered people who knew his
brother and were able to direct him to
his farm in another part Of the state.
The only rsgrettable feature OF tho oc-
casion was that an older brother, who
had accompanied the Jasper gentleman
from Columbus, had given up the search
two days previous and returned home,
thus missing, for the time, the pleasure
OF grasping the long lost brother by the
. hand.
Mr.. Chandler took in the Jamestown
exposition, but says that none Of, the
grand spectacles there afforded him hall
the pleasure that was his when he slept

THE FAMOUS DAN PATCH
 WILL ARRIVE FRIDAY
MT. Hcrsey, His Trainer, Relates Some Interesting Things Concerning the Great Racing Animal.

Harry C. Hersey, the superintendent of M. w. Savage's stock farm. driver and trainer Of the famous world beater Dan Patch, accompanied by his wife arrived in Phoenix yesterday morning from New Orleans, which city they left Sunday. Dan Patch is scheduled to arr,ve in Phoenix Friday morning in his private car, with his four trunks or clothes, and in charge of hi. care taker Charley Hummer. Dan Patch is to be the great drawing card at the territorial fair and is certain to attract thousands of people. He is to go against time and if the track condi- uons are favorable he is likely to make Phoenix famous as a racing center.
 "l never wish to prophecy what Dan will do," said Mir. Hersey yesterday to d Republican reporter. "Of course it all depends on the conditions of tho weather, track and Dan himself. I do not forecast results of the trial but Dan will show the people of Arizona something in the way of harness speed. which they never witnessed before and may not have the opportunity to wit ness for many a day. I always leave the horse do his best and Dan himself will guarantee az much. Dan can be relied upon to go his limit when called upon.
 T have heard much favorable to the track at your fair grounds, through various racing men. and have seen evi- denccs of its qualities in some of the records which were made by different horses. In many instances these same horses have never been able to equal elsewhere the records they made in Phoenix. That itself is a great recom- mendation for the track. l was out over the fairgrounds myself today and was very much pleased with the con ditions and believe the track is now very fast and will probably be improv ed by the time Of the opening of the fair There is something Minnesota in the air here too and Dan likes that element and did his best under such conditions"
 MT. Hersey further related many in teresting things about the great ami maj. Dams fastest mile :n 1:55 was made at the Minnesota state fair when the conditions were not any better than they arc usually in Phoenix and there was quite a breeze blowing at the time As matter of fact of the watches in the crowd. over 2 hundred caught Dams time at the wire as 1:54 3-4 but one man got it 1:55 and the judges were satisfied with the record. II was really a surprise as no one ex- pccted any records broken that day.
Arizona republican., 1907-10-31

Mir. Hersey says that the season this year has been very unfavorable, and there was only one day and one place where the propitious conditions com bined for making any time. That was at Galesbur.. Illinois. where Dan went in 1:56 3-4. At New Orleans the track was a foot deep in soft mud and in no shape for harness races, though it was all right for runners which is the favorite event in that city, strange to say. At New Orleans Dan went the mile in 2:O1. a wonderful showing un- der the existing conditions. At De- catur. Illinois. this year there was rain for two weeks and every where the horse had dates the weather god seem- cd to be drowning on the communities. Phoenix is the last city on Dams route this year; after leaving here he will return to the farm at Savage. fourteen miles from Minneapolis.
 Dan has a fine stall, says Mir. Her sey, 20 feet square, the ceiling 22 feet high and all finished in hardwood, lace curtains at the windows and kept as neatly as anyone's parlor. Hundreds of people come out to see Dan in his winter quarters, and though there are 200 head of horses on Nr. Savagess farm he is the principal attraction. Dan is very much human and he is treated as one. He has his Christmas tree the same as the rest of the folks, and gets the lions share of the candies, sugar and apples. of which he is very, fond. -l,,, is good to eat. He is a sort of Beau Brunmel too, for he is very fond of the ladies and particularly likes chill
 dren. He is good natured. takes life easy and worries about nothing.
 Dan is rather stuck on himself, says Mir. Hersey. enjoys posing like young sweet girl graduate, welcomes visitors and never fails to look up in the grand stand to see if there is a large crowd out to view him. Dan is smart as a whip and his intelligence is exhibited in many ways. Dan must have his breakfast at five o'clock. and when the time comes he goes to the door of his stall and knocks on it till his caretaker wakes up and will not be satisfied with nothing less than his morning liittl tiA Aiit dPHpAAit'' A4'hi- ''' Nt'N' four meals day. takes an afternoon nap and lies down to sleep at night just as contentedly as a tired boy. Dan travels with his running mate who is his chum and he is never at ease in a car without him. He even recognizes his chum across the track and when he enters the gate immediately bricks up his ears and calls to him in the most human-likc manner he is capa- ble of Dan does not really talk but he comes as near to telling what he wants and expressing his desires as any one. MT. Hersey says that he can tell when Dan is ready to start on his mile after warming up. He makes 1t known just as soon as he feels like he wants to go and NIT. Hersey lets him have his way in the matter.
 Dan has one fine set of harness which cost s2O0 and weighs only 1-2 pounds It consists only of back pad. thimbles and lines. There are no traces. collar or breechen. His shoes weighs 3 ounces. are made of finest tool steel with small garb corks. It takes four trunks to contain his clothes. for Dan is fastidious and must have plenty of the best. This of course includes,

ECZEMA ONLY SKIN DEEP
Proven by Records Now on Display at
 EIvey & Hulett's Drug Store.

The old theory that skin disease was caused by bad blood or a disordered internal system has been proven a false one. It is now well known among up to date skin specialists that skin disease is caused by germ in the skin and that this germ must be killed by local treatment.
 Elvey & Hulett. druggists at Phoe- nix have in their possession hundreds of letters from persons formerly suf- fering from eczema, psoriasis, salt rheum, and other diseases of the skin. They also have pictures of men, women and children showing the skin diseas- ed. cracked and bleeding. while a few months later 1t is clean, soft and smooth with every trace of the dis ease wiped out. All these cures were made by a local external application of D. D. D. Prescription. a remedy that instantly stops all itch and quickly kills the disease germ, effect ing a permanent. positive cure.
 Here is a simple letter from J. Dal- ton. Wilderness. Mo: 'I have used the bottle of medicine you sent me and am now a well man. Please accept my heartfelt thanks. Your remedy cannot be praised too much
 Every sufferer of skin disease can see such letters by calling at Elvey & Hulett's drug store, and also secure without charge a book on the cause and cure of skin diseases.

IM MODEST REQUEST
 OF A YOUNG LOVER
He Wanted the Probate Court to Hold His Child Sweetheart in Guardian ship For Him.

A pcrpleXing love problem was given a happy though only tentative solution in probate court yesterday morning. A few days before a young man, hardly more than eighteen, Rafael Martinez. came to tee court, and complained that he was in love with Rosaria Riv- era. who was living with her grand mother in the country beyond Mesa. The girl was fourteen years of age and the grandmother naturally object ed to the billing and cOoing that was going on about her. Martinez said that the old woman was threatening to take the girl pack to Mexico whence she had been brought about two years before. He said that the girl would prefer death to removal from Arizo- na. He wanted something done about il and suggested the appointment of a guardian for the girl, who he repre- scnted needed one anyway. He pro- posed the name of Jose Maria Moreno whom Judge Phillips knew to be a reputable citizen of that same neigh borhood.
 After some other negotiation. guard ianship papers were made out and copies of them were sent to Moreno, with instructions for him to execute the customary bond.
 Moreno evidently did not fancy the office, for yesterday he came into court accompanied by the girl. her grandmother, Longina Arragon and Martinez. He thought the matter could be disposed of without the court taking formal action. The grandmoth- CT said that she had no deep seated objection to the relations between her granddaughter and Martinez, in fact, she rather liked the youth, but she did not want him as a son-in-law at his tender age. It was finally arrang cd that she would keep charge of the girl, would not send her to Mexico. but would send her to school In the meantime Martinez would be permitted tO visit her at proper times and if they were both of the same mind when they got old enough, the grand mother would give her consent 10 the marriage.

winter and summer blankets, rubbing cloths, and hundred and one things.
 Dan has a remarkable pair of lungs" added MT. Hersey in conclusion, "Af- ter he goes his mile he never draws a long breath and moves off as un- concerned and lazy as if he had not smashed another worlds record. He is now II years old and has made for his\ owner Mir. Savage Of the Interna- tional Stock Food company $S2,000 in four years from exhibitions alone No money could buy him though Mir. Say age has been offered as high as $780, 900. He has gone A miles against time. 22 of which he has made in 1:57 3-4 about 10 in 1856 3-4 and has broken II worlds records. His A miles have been from 2:01 to 1:55. He never fails to draw immense crowds and when he appears on the track he is greeted with great cheering and Dan knows he is the center of interest and is proud of 1t. He believes that great name is rather to be chosen than great riches though he has been getting a good deal of the latter for his owner In fact l my self am grateful to Dan, for while l have been in the business for 20 years 1t was the success of Dan under my training that has helped me along in the world and it is therefore natural that l should think q great deal of the ia nous animal. l never forecast, but give Dan good weather. the kind he likes and other things equal the peo- pie will not be in any way disap- pointed"
