 thing made of wood. and also for wip- | ing off leather chair-seats or couch covers, or even leather-bOund books. Sometimes it seems odd that fur
 niture should not last as long now as ! it did in our grandmother's day: as we'll as some of the things we can now see in museums and historic houses The reason is that furniture receives much harder wear now than used to be the case. and also that steam and furnace heat play havoc with glue and joints, so that even the best made furniture springs apart af ter a time. Much of this would be prevented if the furniture was fre- quently rubbed and polished with oil. Before the dusting of pictures, cor nices and walls is begun every article in the room should be covered and pro-
 te4ted. The tops of wardrobes, book cases. and high cabinets form perfect
 nests of dust where all manner of dirt
 can lodge. These should not be left
 exposed. Heavy paper should be past
 ed down over them, and this in turn frequently dusted-not shaken down on other things with a feather dster.

Bam- boo furniture requires a whisk broom to dust it first. then a cloth after that A great deal of the attention demanded by furniture goes toward repairs. Un- glued places. small breaks or cracks should ba seen to at once The glue pot will restore a bit of wood that has been clipped off, and after the glue Is dry a little polishing will completely hide the mended place. In case the bit clipped off cannot be restored. the place should be sandpapered down and then stained to match the rest.

very much pleased yesterday by the animus of the people toward the pur- pose of forming a team.
 'I think there is no doubt" said MT. Goldberg last night, but that Phoe- nix will have all the hines to compete against needed this winter. for Tucson already has two or three strong hines, Globe, Douglas and Cananea have teams, and Bisbee is forming one for the Tucson tournament. With these laggregations We will have enough games for three or four months and by that time Prescott will begin to play ball and probably Humboldt a little later on. We want if we can get it, the best nine in the territory, and I will be satisfied with nothing less than the pennant. We want Tue son and the other towns to have fast teams because that will stimulate our own to its best efforts. The pitcher who we think will come is one of the best in the west and we will add an- other to the staff. We also telegraph ed for the men to bring along a third baseman and short stop. With that. we have enough in the city to make a strong nine and we may be able to secure one or two from over the ter ritory."
 The situation which had been sick lied over with a pale cast of thought, has now assumed an entirely different aspect. As soon as the men arrive. practice games will be played with the Athletics. Indians and Maroons. and the public will be given the op- portunity to see what the nine can do. Proper support at these games will place some money in the asso- ciation's hands to promote the inter- ests of the game.

ONE MORE ON HENRY-The ab-

sent mindedness of Henry George is we'll known in this town to make the following story of interest to a great
 many readers It was during the ab- sence of Mrs. George a few weeks ago. MT. George like a dutiful husband wrote her a letter once in awhile. One
 day he dropped in a letter as usual and the next time he went to his postoffice
 box he found the letter there. He as
 stunned it was placed there by some ab-
 sent minded postoffice clerk who knew
 Mrs. George and thought he would ob-
 lige her by putting the letter in the
 box, not knowing she was away from
 home, or in other words assuming that
 he knew the address better than the
 writer of the letter. MT. George again
 dropped the letter in the postoffice and
 again the next morning he found 1t in
 his box. This time he looked it over
 very carefully, assured himself it was
 the same letter, and then remarked to
 a friend who stood near, that he would
 like to know why the postoffice clerks
 kept firing that letter back in his box
 instead of sending it to the address.
 The friend instantly told him that the
 lack of a postage stamp was the prin- cipal reason, a little detail Mir. George
 had entirely forgotten about. His
 friends are now wondering if he has forgotten that Mrs. George is home and is still writing to her somewhere else.
 THREE LADIES THROWN FROM BUGGY-Yesterday evening while driving along on East Jefferson street, Misses Dorothy and Lena Nicholson and Miss Edith Jacobs were thrown from the buggy and while not seri- ously injured were bruised and con- siderably frightened. The greatest wonder Is that they were not more seriously injured and their lucky es- cape with a few bruises is little less than marvellous. The horse was a faithful, peaceably inclined old family nag, considered a dependable animal. A black dog ran out at the horse and he became manageable and ran down the road, whirling the buggy around so that it was overturned twice. One of the young ladies was thrown a considerable distance. The buggy was somewhat smashed up and the horse kept running until he dis himself entirely from the vehicle. Two of the young ladies were able to walk but the other one. was badly stunned and taken to the home of w. w. Edwards near by. Dr. Palm CT was called but found no bones broken. The young ladies were then taken to their homes.

DEADLOCK IN
 COPPER TRADE
corsun. CTS Are Holding Of Looking for rrrther Reduction in Price of tho Nstal-Railro d Issues Weak-Little Adiyity in Local Stocks.
lRy l. N. Kinseyl

GLOBE, July 30.-Paine, Webber & q, of Boston say: Tho market yester- 5.v slowed no change in price from uopday close. Some liquidation was :, eyidance, but short covering and in ,sstmrnt took care of all sales. The continued deadlock in copper trade is be most bearish feature at present. \, improvement is seen in the money s,p,ff.n and we hear much anxiety ex- messed over the imemdiate future. Al r,st mo new construction is being ear sel ou in any line of business and as ntlc as possible is being done. When
 rorraration as wealthy as Nesting ,nse Electric has to pay S900,00O to s,zt loan of $7,000, ,000, it is time for ,srions thought. We cannot get bearish :, this level of prices, but we do urge yeryoun that they only carry such rotks a, they can we'll take care of in ,ase money gets scarce and additional margin is required.
 In spite of the weakness displayed in ,bf leading copper issues the local stocks hold up well. A few shares of S1peri1r X Boston changed hands yes ,srlay at 8, but at the close none could bs had for less than $3.25. Globe Con a'datcd remained unchanged at $l3.S7.

It is alleged that the melon raisers of Salt River Valley have delayed the extension of the Phoenix < Eastern railroad in the canyon above Winkel- man by offering $2.50 and $3 day for men to gather the big crop of canta loupes. So attractive are these wages that several hundred Mexican, Indian and other laborers have been drawn away from railroad construction, which has been temporarily suspended. As soon as the melon season closes the Southern Pacific will resume construe. tion of its line toward San Carlos.

MARKET IRREGULAR
 AND UNSETTLED
Rogers Illness Effects Amalgamated and Other Copper Stocks-Southern Peciic and Union Pacific Continues Strong on Expected Dividends.
(By II. H. Bru Col

GLOBE, July 30.--The situation of the market today was very unsettled. Ama'gamated and other copper stocks are very weak, and the report that Mir. Rogers is ill seems to have great deal of effect on the general market condi- tion. Of the railroad stocks Southern Pacific are the strongest and held up better through the day. This is ac- counted for in the way or an increased dividend expected to be per cent and will probably be ammo need this week by the So ,thern Pacific company, if the dividend will be increased, but some doubt remains as to this increase.
 The immediate future course of the market is now involved in good deal of uncertainty. The big interests, how ever, have had no opportunity to liquid ate their recent heavy accumulations in forcing the bull movement and the liar riman interests are booming the market talking of dividends with a view of fla eilitating a further distribution of stocks.
 We look upon the market as good buy and would advise buying the stand ard issues. The market may be at standstill for a time yet, but advance is sure to come in all good stocks the latter part O. August and first part of September.
 A good strike of high grade carbon ate ore was struck in the Globe-Arizona mine today and it looks as though in creased ore shipments will be the re- suit. The ore just struck averages about 20 per cent copper.

 Tucson, Ariz, March l6, 1907. The McKanna Three-Day Liquor Cure Company:
 Phoenix, Ariz. Gentlemen
 Some time ago I became greatly in- terested in the Dr. McKanna method of treatment for the liquor habit and made very thorough investigation of the matter. The evidences I have re- ceived of the efficacy of the treatment, both in regard to the eradication of the appetite for liquor and the generally beneficial results to the entire mental and physical system, have confirmed me in the opinion that Dr. McKanna s claims are based upon a solid founda. tion of truth and can be fulfilled to the letter.
 l have already recommended the treatment to persons whom I knew re- quircd it and it will be my pleasure to call the attention of every one l can reach, who is in need of the cure, to the fact that their freedom from the curse of liquor slavery is in their own hands and may be permanently secured by a course of treatment in one of the Me Kama institutions.
 With earnest wishes that the benefits of this marvellous discovery may become widely known and appreciated as it de- serves, am,
 Very sincerely yours,

coffee were served, and cigars were passed around, Go all of which fnll justice was done. Chief Bracev Curtis presided, doing the honors gracefully. Early in the evening there was broached a proposition to organize a club, which 1t is pro. posed shall lease the hall which

The idea was received with approval, all the speakers endorsed 1t, and it bids fair to be carried to a successful conclusion. Among the speakers of the evening were Doctor Gustetter, Reverend Donald Brookman, H. B. Claggett, Bert Bristol, Hon. Bo. J. Whiteside, l. Burgoon, Col. Allen T. Bird, and several others. The club proposi- tion was commended by all. Among church announcements Sunday morning Reverend Brookman alluded to the proposed club, and heartily commended the idea to the congregation.
