THE PRESENTATION
 OF A DIAMOND STUD
To M. G. Hill On An Expression of the
 Regard of His Many Friends.

The local NJ. & P. agent, M. G. Hill, was treated to about the most pleasant surprise of his life Saturday morning when. upon going to the depot to as- sume his days labor, he found upon his desk beautiful diamond stud and the following letter:
 MT. M. G. Hill, Agent,
 Tempe, Arizona.
 Dear Sir: On behalf of your rail- road friends and your numerous friends and citizens of Tempe and vii cinity, 1 beg to present you herewith this diamond stud, as a remembrance to you of the appreciation of your long and efficient service as agent at Tempe. and of the respect in which every one holds you; and it is the sin cere wish of every one that your fu- ture life will be filled with nothing but happiness. and that sometimes you may think of your friends in Arizona
 V. w. DYCUS.
 The letter was signed by, in addition to MT. Dycus, the assistant agent, some forty residents of Tempe and railroad associates of MT. Hill's. As stated in the letter, the stud was pre- sented Mir. Hill as a token of the re- gard and esteem in which he is held by his many friends in Tempe. Few railroad men have a record the equal of his. For over twenty years he has had charge of the Tempe office. with out taking as much as a days vaca- tiOn. He rightly feels that he is en- titled to good long rest and he has accordingly resigned his position here and the latter part of the month will leave for New York state where he will join Mrs. Hill who preceded him a couple of months ago. No announce ment of Mir. Hill's successor has yet been made.
 The giving of the diamond stud by his friends, coming as it did as com- plete surprise, was naturally very gratifying to Mir. Hill and that it is fully appreciated and will be valued as one of his most choice possessions goes without saying.

Mrs. Elizabeth Hilbert, an aged and respected resident of Mesa passed peacefully to the great beyond at the home of her son, Dan White. on West First avenue, on Saturday night. at 12 o'clock, after a short illness. the eb- ping of life being so quiet that even those who were watching by her bed side were not aware that the tiny spark had gone out until some seconds af- ter dissolution had taken place
 Mrs. Hibberd, who was in ner sgd year, was born in Manchester. Eng land, in 1927. While still in her girl hood she became convert to the Nor mon faith, and. later, at the age of twenty-seven years, she came to the United States in company with a large number of that faith.

KANSAS CITY MARKETS.

Kansas City. Nov 15.-There was light run of cattle last week here, ST. 00o head, and other points also had light supplies. with the result that prices advanced 30 to 60 cents during the week. Fridays market was the best of the year on range stuff, a train of Colorado cattle here that day mak ing a new set of prices for all classes included. The light run last week brought out the fact that packers are short of supplies of dressed meats, and as the cooler weather has widened the outlet for beef. it looks good for fu- ture markets this month and next. The run today is 22.000 head, and 15 to 25 cents of the advance of last week had to be taken off but sales were quickly made. and everything moved promptly at figures considerably above what shippers expected, theer figures based on sales a week or more ago. A large number of range cattle are here, in cluding Colorado beef steers at $40 to s4.75, few Colorado heifers at s4.85. others $40 to $40, Colorado cows s365 to s4.25. wet cows $3.1O. calves s650, stockers and feeders $3s0 to Sf.AO, kNtN htAlCO cews 8 to s3.50. beef steers s3.5O to S4.25. calves up to s6.5O. stockers and feeders s3 to s4.25. Fairly good re- ceipts of range cattle will arrive the balance of this week, but supplies from native and quarantine territory will be light for some weeks.
 Sheep and lambs advanced 15 to 30 cents last week on killing grades, stock and feeding stuff steady to strong. The market here today is lightly sup piled, and is independent of reports from the outside, sales here strong to 10 higher. in the face of a break of Is to 25 cents in Chicago today. Only a few range sheep and lambs are here today. some medium Colorado wethers at s4.20. On last Friday. Colorado lambs sold at s6. yearlings at s4.sO. and ewes s425. all new price records for the last few months. Country de- mand is sufficient to absorb the sup ply of that class. and strength in kill ing grades is reflected in less degree in thin stock, lambs worth s4.25 to s4.60, wethers and yearlings $40 to s3.9O. ewes s2.5O to s4, including breed ing stock

A INSTRUMENTATION.

There seems to have been a misin- depreciation placed upon the athletic write-up of the interscholastic meet in Saturdays issue. due no doubt to it's nasty construction.
 There is no desire on the part of the Normal team to question the personal honesty of Prof. Jones or any of the members of the High school team. Neither do they claim that the High school team did not win the cup fairly They do feel however that the limited list of events, and the changed order of the events deprived them of any chance of victory.

A Travelling Mans Experience.

T must tell you my experience on an east bound O. R. & N. R. R. train from Pendleton to Le Grande, Ore, writes Sam A. Garber, a well known travelling man. "I was in the smok- ing department with some other trav- cling men when one of them went out into the coach and came back and said There is woman sick unto death in the car. I at once got up and went out, found her very ill with cramp collie; her hands and arms were drawn up so you could not straighten them, and with a death-like look on her face. Two or three ladies were working with her and giving her whis- key. I went to my suit case and got my bottle of Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy q never travel without iN, ran to the water tank, put double dose of the medicine in the, glass, poured some water into it and stirred it with a pencil; then I had quite a time to get the ladies to let me give it tO@her but I succeeded. I could at once see the effect and 1 worked with her, rubbing her hands, and in twenty minutes gave her another dose. By this time we were almost into Le Grande, where I was to leave the train. I gave the bottle to the husband to be used in case another dose should be needed, but by the time the train ran into Le Grande she was all right, and l re- ceived the thanks of every passenger in the car" For sale by Sam. w..

PREDICT WET WINTER.
Old Timers Say Signs Point to Season of Much Moisture and Early
 Coming of Rains.

Old timers are predicting an early winter and a wet one, says the San Bernardino Sun. All signs, they say, indicate that the Indian Summer days are to be brief, and that before the cal endar time the wet season will set in and that Southern California will ex- perience an old-fashioned winter.
 These Indications" are numerous. one being that the ground squirrels, which during the summer have had their holes along the arroyos, have moved to high ground. Another is that the rabbits are closing the open ings of their burrows, until now there is left but the smallest possible exit.
 A Highland man states that his pre- diction is based upon the appearance of a flock of crows and blackbirds, which he says never come into the val leys in such numbers unless forecast ing the coming of early and heavy rains. He says he has noticed this for numerous years, and has never failed in his predictions.
 That the birds appear to know what the season will bring is believed by the Indians, but they, or at least some of them are basing their predic- tions on the appearance of robins, which just now are quite numerous along the Santa Ana river. The Indi- ans also point to the moon as their infallible guide, and say that for weeks past the moon has been sig mailing early rains.
