"The Wonderful Southern Coun- try" was the subject of Eugene Brady O'Neill's toast. It wasn't what he said about the southern country that made the hit. He told a number of antedotes of the recent campaign, repeating some of the favorite expressions of some of the campaigners with whom he stumped this county last fall. His rendition of George Purdy Billiards now famous and bra utiful word picture of Arizona, the modern Diana, with her shield of copper and her spear of gold and her other equipment drawn from the re- sources of Arizona, given a la George Purdy, brought out the heartiest applause of the evening:
 "The Ladies'" Such a bouquet of oral flowers IS J. w.. Crenshaw W tossed at the ladies last night and he an old bachelor.
 J.F. Cleaveland's toast was "The Press of Arizona" and he told of the power and influence and use fullness of the press in an exceed inglv clever manner.
 Dennis Burke spoke of "The Home of the Hassayamper," in a we'll worded little speech.
 G. w. Hunt paid tribute to "old glory" in his response to the sentiment "The Flag"
 J. R. Hampton stated ip response 10 the toast "The Closing Days of the Twentyfourth," that in his opinion the most appropriate thing he could do was to move adjourn ment, as he would soon do with reference to the twentyfourth.

Where He Failed

He inscribed to her a sonnet, spent a studious week upon it, and he oftentimes did con it OCT and OCT with happy smiles, Ere he sent it to the maiden, who had made his life an Alden, who his longing soul had laden with the sweetness of her smiles. Said her hair was golden glory, that her face was hunkidorv, and figure told story of perfection most complete;
 That her breath was as the vi'lets love lurked in her azure evelets, and there weren't any fiylets on the neatness of her feet. But the tender inspira ton failed to win her approba ton, as she said with indignation she would have to turn him down.
 For in all his sweet effusion, from its start to it's conclusion, he had not made one allusion to her new Easter gown.-Ex.

After several days delay c. B.

After several days delay c. B. No. 66, which is the city charter bill, was brought out in the council and an amendment proposed which changes Sec. 15 of Art 4, so as to prohibit cities legalizing any busi- ness that is prohibited by legisla- tive enactment.
 Fearing that this section as 1t was originally worded would give incorporated cities doing business under the charter, the power to make gambling legal though pro hihited by the territory, this change was made. The bill has already passed both branches.
 Efforts were twice made this morning to get action on the bill. and the only result was to order it engrossed. Further than this no headway was made, It appears that several members of the council are strongly opposed to the charter bill
 Several bills were passed hy the council among them being the following: c. B. No. 145, correct ing error in statutes. H. B. No 115, exempting reservoirs for de velopment of electrical power for ten years. H. B. No. S3, forcing companies to name Arizona agent
 c. B. No. S5, forcing mining com panies to have money in bank before seeking credit was defeated only O'Neill and Scott voting yes The minority report being that the bill do not pass.
 H. B. No. 1S3, enabling assignees to recover from railroads for damages to goods shipped was laid on the table.
 After voting to reconsider c. B No. 127, providing for a public weigher, the lower house this morn ing passed the measure by a vote of 20 to 2.
 This bill fixes the office of pub lie weigher. Any person who shal give bond of $5, 900 can become ; public weigher. The bill does nor prevent any other person weighing for the public, but to make hi' weighing official he must give tht bond.
 But two bills were passed by tht house this morning. c. B. No. 56 provides for the collection of delin quent road taxes, and H. B. No TO prohibits shooting on premise where cattle are kept.

While the session does not actually close until tomorrow night at any hour that the members see fit to make it, solons who have pet measures, put forth their best efforts today. fearing that in the rush of tomorrow they will stand small chance of passage.
 By it's defeat this morning of H B. No. 97, which passed the house and which repeals the present butcher license law, the council crushed the hopes of the Salt River valley farmers. who have hoped that this legislature would grant them relief.
 By fixing graduated butcher license, the amount to be paid depending on the number of cattle killed for the market, the house passed this bill for the relief of farmers, who complain that the present law makes possible the meat trust, depriving the farmer of the right to butcher beef and dis pose of the meat 10 his neighbors without paying a yearly license of $50.
 Secretary Carter, of the live stock sanitary board, is said to have strongly opposed any change in the existing laws, claiming that the present law does not prevent any man from killing a beef. Those who have supported the passage of H. B. No. 97 take just the opposite view.
 The council committee on live stock recommended that the bill do not pass, but in strong speech in which he referred to conditions in Maricopa county, asserting that the existing law makes possible a meat trust and denies the small farmer his rights. O'Neill succeeded in getting the council to vote down the report.
 When the measure was put on it's final passage six voted in its favor and six against it, the tie vote defeating the bill.
