 that waterway. A single day of drouth
 can easily be borne for the valley has

 INSANE AND lPlESS.--About the craZiest person the probate court ever had to deal with was Mrs. J. F. Burns who lived in the southern part Of town. She was not only insane all through but physically helpless. She
 is a woman without single lucid in terval and with never a cohercncy of thought or language. In reply to one question asked her yesterday she said: The horses started to run away and after that" When she was asked another question she said: Now. that the dance is over I'll be all right

 A RUNAWAY.-There was a run away incident on Adams street yester- day morning in which some damage was done and great deal more might have been done 4 -ired team was standing in front of the Singer sewing machine office while two machines were being placed in the wagon The horses became frightened and ran sev- eral blocks The driver very wisely left his perch early in the proceedings or as soon as he saw the neckyoke give way and though slightly bruised by his fall he was not seriously hurt. One of the machines was broken put the horses were not badly hurt. though scratched up a little.
 BOOST THE BUILDING.-The de- tails in connection with the letting Of a contract for the '. NJ. C. A. build ing are being worked out as rapidly as possible. J. w Doris. president of the association. has sent an official notification to Frost & Frost, the arch itects of the building. that a bid has been accepted. Clinton Campbell, the contractor is preparing his bond. If the subscribers do their part by paying the pledges already due the walls of the building will soon appear above the surface Of the ground. The i'm portance of this ought to be clear to every man. as the erection of such a building will stimulate many lines of industry in the community and serve as strong inducement to prospective settlers.
 A CAUTIOUS INQUiRY-The Re publican has received good many in- quirieS in its time from people living in different parts of the country wno are desirOus of learning something of friends and relatives who are supposed to have drifted in here. Usually the inquiriers furnish all the information possible in the hope that it may be the means of digging mp more. But in this case the inquirer suppresses everything of d helping nature, even to her name and the name of the per son of whom she desires to be inform ed. She says she is an anxious moth CT living at ClaremOre. Okla. About three weeks ago she received post card from her son who was then in Phoenix and she has not heard from him since. She is therefore afraid that something has happened to him. She wants to know if anything happened to a young man about six feet tall having gray eyes. dark hair. rather slender form, twenty-one years of age.
