UNPARALLELED TRAGEDY. A Den
yer dispatch of Monday gives the
horrible details of the murder OF
Father Leo Hendricks, while admin
istering the sacrament at the altar OF
st. Elizabeth's church in that city.
The fatal shot was fired from amid
the knecling worshipers, and the vic
tim fell dead at the foot of the altar.
The assassin proved to be one of the
many Italian anarchists fiocking to
this country to arouse the spirit OF
defiance of all law and order. After
committing the horrible deed, he
waved the smoking pistol above his
his head, and with the yell of a demon
sprang from the church. 1t was
with difficulty he was kept from u
mob on the way to Jail.

VAST DAMAGES BY E'LooD. The
people of this country vino expert
cncc such moderate climatic cOndi-
tions. can hardly realize the vast
damage sustained by food each recur-
ring year in the Eastern and Middle
States, this proving no exception.
1t has already been estimated by
millions and the end is not yet, nor
is the territory affected limited to II
scope of half Il dozen States. New
York leads by rapid flooding from
melting snow, and the waterfront in
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio,
Kentucky and Indiana, is but one
continuous scene of disaster and Suf-
ferins:. Many railroads are washed
out and several mines closed, causing
desperation and want. The water in
the Ohio is over 40 feet above the
normal mark. The loss last year in
the same districts aggregated So
600, 600. 1t will this year probably
exceed that amount.

Black Cat Cures Rheumatism.

Black Cat Cures Rheumatism.
"The hide of a black cat dried in an
Autumn sun and worn around the
waist in the form of belt will keep
rheumatism away" said Mark Du,
vail, of Alexandria, La, at the Hotel
Duncan. Now, don't laugh, and wait
until after you've heard the story.
For three years l had symptoms Of
rheumatism-very painful symptoms.
l lay awake nights and suffered a
thousand deaths-mentally and phys
ically. One day an old negro work
ing on an adjoining plantation told me
of the black cat hide remedy. OF
course. I didn't believe in 1t, but, like
drowning Isan grabbing at a straw,
thought I would give it trial, as
knew the old-time southern darby to
be real good doctor. had black
cat killed in October and let the hide
stay out for about 15 days to dry. 1
then cut 1t up and made belt about
one inch wide out of It, l put on the
belt and wore it for eight weeks. Be
lieve me when l say that my rheuma-
tism had entirely disappeared the
third week. l have never had pain
since, and 1 still have my black cat
belt. Nashville Tennesseean.

"veIvet" for Uncle Sam.

"Tha increasing habit of using SOU
venir postal cards is inuring to the
benefit of the government in one way
not generally understood" said a
post office attache. Many persons
who have the habit Of mailing SOU
venirs or picture postals are 30 accus.
toned to putting stamps on them that
they even stamp the ordinary postals
which already have stamps printed on
their faces. We see the effects Of
this practice every day to the extent
of hundreds Of doubly stamped postal
cards; and, what with the increased
receipts from souvenir postals and
this little gratuity thrown in, Uncle
Sam is getting few dollars that are
real velvet"

SPECIAL MELTING
 OF BOARD OF TRADE
Also Reference to a Number of Recent Additions to the Boards Display.

There will be a special meeting of the board of directors of the board of trade this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock to act on a number of matters. One will be to arrange for the annual meeting of the board and another will be to receive the reports of the committee appointed to revise the bylaws of the organization. Still another matter that will be discussed will be a resolution that will be presented asking the board to endorse the request of group of gentlemen who are petitioning the sec retary of the interior for permission to construct a scenic railroad seventeen miles long, along the rim and down through a tunnel into the Grand Can yon of the Colorado.
 This is a timely place to mention also the recent acquisitions to the dis play of the board in the way of 1908 products. One that is quite interesting is the number of specimens of wool clipped from the sheep of J. c. Muders- bach, a rancher on rural free delivery route No. 3, west of Phoenix The sheep industry is a comparatively new one in this valley as an all the year round proposition, though it has been famous for years as a winter feeding and shearing point. Quite a number of farmers however are devoting their at tention to sheep as a farm animal
Arizona republican., 1908-03-21

rather than a range animal and with great success, mutton being an object as much as wool, or more so. MT. Mudersbach has the Shropshire breed and the samples of wool brought to the board certainly look good to the lay men whether they would to a wool ex- pert or not. The wool is long and soft and of fine texture and the fleeces run from eight to nine pounds in weight
 Two nice samples of asparagus were brought to the board, one by Hall Brothers and one by Frank Alkire. Both are large and succulent and dem onstrate the wonderful growth of that plant here. The secretary is engaged in ascertaining what the acreage of this crop is in the valley as near as possible and thus far he has been. able to list in the larger beds, a total of about seven acres.
Arizona republican., 1908-03-21

Another exhibit is for the chicken fanciers. It is an egg brought in by D. c. Warren the Black Minorca spe- cialist. It measures eight inches around its greatest circumstance and six and three quarters inches the other way. The only way in which the un- usually large eggs laid by the hens of this valley can be accounted for, is the stimulus of notable example the hens receive by close contact with the ostrich which is almost as common here as the barnyard fowls.
