IL, HM.2 thp
e&@W~ The children's dresses
illustrated in this article are the re-
suit of careful experiment. They are
easy to copy in every detail, or they
may be used as models whose main
features may be carried out in any
other suitable color or material.
The actual cost of each has been
computed; low as it will prove in
every instance, it may be reduced still
further by the purchase of remnants
from bargain counters. On this point
we would, however, sound a warning
note against the waste of precious
dimes by accommodating impracticable
pieces.
There should always be at least one
sailor suit-either a one or two piece
dress-in the little girls wardrobe.
1t is the acme of comfort, and it is al
ways smart as we'll as practical for
everyday wear.
The o~ne-piece sailor suit illustrated
is a new and particularly smart de-
sign. The model was carried out in
the ~perennially popular dark-blue
serge. 1t may, however, be developed
equally we'll in serge of some other
color, in checked or in plaided wool,
or in pique with or without the fleece
lining. All told, the cost Of the suit
shown here was $1.75, with materials
bought at retail, and cut directly
from the piece. The length required
may often be found among remnants,
and a possible saving be thus made in
the estimated cost. 1t is always ad-
visable to study the pattern directions
before buying, in order to know the
exact length required. The following

A Pretty Wedding.

On Wednesday evening at the St Andrews Episcopal church, this city, there was a very pretty wedding. the high contracting parties being MT. Frank k. Crum, of Ell Paso, Texas, and Miss Irene Mercer, of Nogales. The beautiful and impressive cere- mopy of the Episcopal church was performed by Rev. Davis in the pres ence of hundreds of invited guests who filed the little church on the corner.
 After the wedding the bridal party went to the residence of Mir. and Mrs. Jesse Ritz, where reception was held from 9 to II o'clock here also the bride and groom were treated to a good .oldfashioned serenade, participat- ed in by host of small, we'll meanin g boys.
 The happy, newly welded pair, were the recipients of many handsome, costly and useful presents, as remem- brances from their Nogales friends.
 The bride is the beautiful and high ly accomplished sister of Mrs. J NJ Johnson of Benson, and Misses Lillian and Pauline Mercer of Nogales, Ariz !, where the NIercers have resided many years. and where they enjoy the high est esteem and respect of every body. For some time she has been a favorite in social circles.
 The groom is Q most estimsb ble young man of sterling worth. At present he is in the employ of the Southern Pacific railroad as a fireman on the Tucson Fl Paso division, with headquarters at Fl Paso, Texas, where he and his bride will in future reside, and where after June 10th, they will be at home to their friends
 Thursday morning a large crowd of friends and acquaintances were at the depot to wish Mr and Mrs. Drum a long. happy. prosperous voyage on lifr'S matrimonial sea.

Board Of Trade Meeting.

There were seven directors at the of Trade on Tuesday evening, and several matters of interest were up for discussion.
 The report of the treasurer for the month of May showed a balance on hand in the general fund on May 3Oth of SI97 9.
 The Secretary's monthly report on the Santa Cruz gauging station show ed O balance to that fund of Sl05 02, and his report on the special fund for improvement of the Duquesne road showed collections for the month to be $l.O09.OO. The road supervisors having this work in charge hope soon to be actively engaged in making the improvements.
 A special committee was appointed to draft resolutions of regret at the withdrawal of Mir. Sullivan from the work of the secretaryship, and the board extended to Mir, Sullivan, who was present, their hearty good wishes for his prosperity and success in his new work. The matter of the reten- tion in the county jail of an eleven years old boy from Mowry under charge for grand larceny, and awaitin. the October term of cc urt. was brought to the attention of the board, as the present law makes 1t impossible to otherwise dispose of the boy. The board withheld any action on the mat ter until they might have all the facts before them
 There being no further urgent busi- ness, the board adjourned early in order to permit it's members to attend the "County Chairman"

lie Went Some

"Booze, booze, he never blamed the booze," but this time He, the young man who will be given a preliminary hearing before Judge Gildea, on a charge of assault, will be mighty anx- ious to do so. and no doubt witnesses will appear to testify that his claim is just one.
 Last Monday night, the young man, who had been drinking heavily in the Nogales, Sonora "bsd lands," became possessed of an unconquerabie desire to annIhilate his sweetheart and the man who had stolen her from him.
 His hated rival and "Ramona," . soiled dove from South Arizpe street. had gone to the Monte Carlo Cafe for supper, which they were enjoying when suddenly, without warning. both were struck as by lightning Ramona was struck on the head with a heavy sugar bowl which broke into many pieces and injured the unfortunate girl so seriously that she was unconscious for nearly an hour, before medical aid could be hurried to the scene. Her companion at the same time received a heavy water glass in the face. hurled with such force 1t also was broken into small bits, and the second victim of the crazed man, was terribly cut as with knife.
 George Januel, the young German barber, who was eating at the lunch counter in the saloon, and William Meaney heard the sound of falling dishes and broken glass, and hurried into the restaurant, where they found the insensible girl and dazed young man, but their assailant had dashed from the room.
 George and William did heroic work in keeping the gIrl alive until Dr. Gustetter arrived; both deserve medals. It was thought the girls skull was fractured by the terrible blow, and maybe she can't appear at the trial. Her companion is able to be about, but hereafter he'll only take second, possibly third prize at the beauty show.
 After "getting his deadly work in" Manuel ran across the international line and entered carriage and drove to the saloon near the plaza, where he whipped Mexican policeman; then he ran to the American side and went to the Arizona Hotel and to bed. Here he was found by Under Sheriff Walter Bailey; here also he met his Waterloo, for when he attemped to put up 8 scrap, Walter immediately put him out of business, and yanked him to jail, booze and all.
