VIII Appreciate Support for Repre-
sentative

John ]. Whelan earnestly solicits
the support of the voters of Shiawas-
see county in his effort to secure the
nomination for representative in the
state legislature.
In 1902 Mr.. Whelan lacked one
vote of securing the nomination

close second, he was entitled to a
deep sense of gratitude and appre-
citation for the royal support given
him at that convention.
In 1906 Mr.. Whelan was elected
supervisor of his township and the
board of supervisors made him chair
man of that body-a compliment sell

DOG -sPEcTAcI.Es THE LATEST
New York Soon May Adopt Fad Pop
 ular in London.

A dog in spectae eles is the latest fad. It has not reached New York yet, but Lady Aylesford has been seen in Pic cadilIg with one of her famous breed of chows in tow, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed spectacIes. Her friends smiled. and she explained that the poor doggie's eyesight had become so defective that she had taken him to an oculist, who had fitted him with glasses.
 Dogs here in New York have been taken to dentists and their teeth have been filled with gold; they have had their nails manicured by experts, the hair of poodles, spaniels and Scotch terriers have been dressed and curled by "tonsorial artists" some delicate dogs, such as Italian greyhounds, have been dressed in sealskin coats; other pampered pets have worn gold brace lets and diamond collars; but spec tacles seem new. The next step will probably be for some one to fit Brit ish bulldog with a solitaire eyeglass and a cigarette.-New York World.

 Charlie Scott and Jack Phillips re- hearsed their high dives during the night and also yesterday afternoon. and while their friends were timorous about them taking the risk they made the leap anyway. Both dive from a thirtyhfoot platform and then make a sixty-foot dive. The tank into which they dive contains but four feet of water. This is one of the bonafide features of the circus that will make a thrill creep up and down the spinal, column of every spectator
 And another thrilling feature of the performance will be tne balloon as cension and parachute leap of Jack Phillips. This one act alone shows the spirit that predominates the mem bers of the local lodge. It has been twelve years since Phillips was in a balloon but for the good of the order he is willing to take a chance. The balloon will go as hign as the gas will take it and the aeronaut will then cut loose. This act is scheduled for 2 o'clock.

DANA HAS DEPARTED
 FOR OTHER CHIMES
Life Reader and PaimiSt Is No Longer Pulling Wool Over
 Gu!Iible in Douglas.

DOUGLAS, July Special )- Dana, the life reader palmist physic and general confidence man no long CT pulls the wool over the eyes of the public in Douglas. He has departed to newer fields and it is reported that a number of people are anxious to learn his address. People wno are swindled by this class of charlatan usually pre- fer to keep to themselves any loses that they may sustain, and for this req son it is impossible to learn just who amount. To date no complaints have been sworn out but it is understood that a party in the town is mourning the loss of a diamond ring valued at s24OO0 and that others are short 1T cash which he seems to have been able to secure from his patrons.
 A story is current of a negro woman who called upon him for advice about health. He stated that she could be cured by wearing about her neck a small box containing two five dollar sinners which he would bless. The woman secured the two five dollar pieces. by borrowing them, and later returned with them. He packed them carefully in a small box in her pres ence, and closing the box made a few mystic passes. crossed himself. placed the box on the back of hiE neck nut tered an incantation and handed the box to the woman with the instruc- tiOns to wear it about her neck. Af- ter the woman had called back to complain that she was feeling no bet ter ant finding the clairyoyant there she became suspicious and opened the box finding it packed with some scraps of cotton.
 The man who advertised himself as being always at home" left ostensi- bly, for Fl Paso, Saturday morning, telling his landlady if anyone called, he would consider it a great favor if she would say to them that he would return in two days as he was called away on urgent business.
 He had a large clientele among the people of Douglas and people visiting the city. and during the month that he spent here he did a rushing busin- ess. + could not be learned where he came from to this place, but he men tioned to several the fact of having been in business at Coronado Beach recently, and at different times he has been a resident of all the watering places and resorts of the states.

DOUGLAS. July 3.-(Special) IF For the benefit of the general public who expect to view the parade next Saturday morning. the announcement. is made that the Elk's division of the parade, which will be one of its most interesting features, will be seen only on G. avenue. Because of the bulky and uncomfortable costumes many of they mill wear they will not be able to 20 over the entire line of march of the general parade. The Elks will form at the Douglas laundry on Six teenth and F and from there march down c avenue to Seventh street. There they will about-face and counter march back to Sixteenth and G aven- .ue. disbanding at the laundry.
 The elks last night had a general re- hearsal at the show grounds, and they surprised even themselves by the smoothness with which the perform ance went through. Even Barnum and Bailey, in the haleyon days of that great circus aggregation. could have done little better. Special attention was given last night to the equestrian features of the performance Jrof.

A REDUCED RATE
 WANTED AT DOUGLAS

DOUGLAS, July 3-tSpecial.) )- The negotiations between the city of Douglas and the board of fire un derwFiters of the Pacific have at last reached a stage where it can conf dently be expected that the long prom ised reduction in rates will be an nounced City Clerk T. A. Daley this morning received a letter from c. T. Manwariug, manager of the board, in which apology is made for publication of the new rates being deferred. The blame is laid upon the printing com pany which is getting out the rates in book form. It is not specifically stat ed that the promised reduction has been made, but such is the inference one draws from the letter. Mir. Man warings letter follows:
 Los Angeles, Cal, June 90, 1908. Mir T. 4. Daley, City Clerk,
 Douglas, Arizona. Dear Sir
 Your letter or June 4th has my care full attention l regret very much that the rates could not be furnished you immediately after our surveyor fin ished his work. However, our print, CT has found it more or Iess difficult to keep ahead of the work which it is necessary for us to submit to him of late, and for that reason has not been able to finish the rate books which are to be distributed among the agents of your city. The books, however, are now well under way, and hope with. in a week to have them ready for dis tFibution.
 I realize that the matter of reduc- ton in rates at Douglas has been be fore the board for some time, and that there is good reason on your part to become impatient with this office. hope you will realize in this instance however, that the fault is not with the board, but with the printing es tablishment which handles our work In order to make up for the delay the rates will be dated back at least sixty days from the date on which the book is issued. Yours truly,
 c. T. MAINTAINING,

Scarfs in Favor.

Scarfs will be worn more and more as spring approaches and furs are packed away. 90 it's we'll to be pre- pared.
 Very pretty and most serviceable are the new motor scarfs," made like the knitted or crocheted scaTfs, but worn about the neck over the collar to pro tect it from dust and to give some little warmth. Special spools of silk three times the size of the ordinary spools are to be had for these scarfs, so that the silk will not have to be joined anywhere. Made up in white or any light shade the motor scarfs are most attractive and are to be worn by men as well as women to protect the collar from the dye of a fur coat. They are from four to six Inches in width and about a yard in length. A two-inch fringe Of the silk makes an attractive finish to this smart scarf.

SAVE NUMBERS FROM SUICIDE,
Splendid Work of the Salvation Army
 in London.

The report of the Salvation Army anti-suicide bureau started in London a year ago shows that 1,l25 men and 95 women applied to the bureau dur ing the last 12 months.
 Most of these belonged to the mid dle classes and more than 50 per cent of the men attributed their dis tress to financial embarrassment or poverty, II per cent. to drink, drugs and sickness, and q per cent. to ac- cidents. sickness and other misfor- tunes.
 Two-thirds of the women were sui fering from meIancholia caused by poverty, and the remainder from drugs and drink.
