Her Endorsement.

Madam" said the teller OF a bank
in Baltimore to woman who had
handed him q check to cash-'madam,
you have forgotten to indorse.
A worried smile came to the wo-
mans face, but she took back the pa
per and wrote something on the back
thereof.
When again the teller looked at the
check he found that the woman had In
dorsed as follows:
'The - bank has always paid me
whatever it owed, and you need have
no worry. Therefore I indorse this

head, ali pulling different ways" went
to Omaha in the spring Of 1864. At
that time he was the most talked Of
man in America He had not Il thing
but mouev. He bought 5000 city lots
and altogether spent several hundred
thousand dollars. He boarded at the
Herndon House. the best hotel in sight.
The QuiXotic Train was regular in only
one thing-his habits. He always oc-
cupied the same seat at the table. One
morning 4 pane of glass was broken
ou1: Of a window directly behind his
chair. He protested and was advised
to change his seat He would not. In
stead he paid 4 servant 10 cents 3 min
ute to stand between him and the
draft. After breakfast he eXpostulated
with the landlord. bu- received no sat

Never mind" said Train. In sixty
days will build a hotel that will ruin
your business
And he did The contract was let
that day. Scores Of men were put to
work The site selected was Ninth and
Harney streets. near the Missouri riv-
err Citizen Train went to New York
and engaged Colonel Cozzens, noted
caterer Of that city, as manager for his
hotel.
The building alone cost $4,000. The
furnishings cost $4,000 more. In the
basement was gas plant, the OILY
one west Of st. Louis. The work was
done on time, and, true to his word,
sixty days after he threatened the man.

Francis Train, citizen Of the earth,
opened his hotel, which he called the
Cozzens House The grand opening
ball was attended by the governor Of
Nebraska and his staff, the mayor of
Omaha and many notables from other
states. The house was blaze Of glory
and ! scene of almost oriental magnifi-
cence. Just when the big reception
was we'll on there was sudden fash,
a strange noise, and then-total dark
ness! The gas plant had collapsed.
The CoZzens House did fourishing
business for a year or two, and the
Herndon House was badly crippled.
Finally Train fell out with his man
ager, and the place was closed.
After the business part Of Omaha
moved back from the river the Hern-
don House declined and finally re-
lapsed into q state Of innocuous desue
tude. 4 few years later it became the
property Of the Union Pacific railroad.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
 HAD A NEEDLESS RUN
Chemical Engine Taken to Residence
 Of J. E. Hanna, But is Not Needed.

A small blaze in the house owned by J. E. Hanna and which is occupied by Frank Crismon and family caused some excitement in the north west section of town about 10 o'clock yester- day morning.
 Mrs. Crismon was sitting in the front room of the house talking to her sis ter Mrs. Buyers who was getting ready to go up town. During this time Mrs. CrismOn had head a cracking sound issuing from the direction of the kit chen. Thinking however, that it was the wood burning in the kitchen stove she gave it no heed until the odor of smoke attra "ted her attention, she then hastened to the kitchen to find the wn"d l,cA ablaZe anc the fir gradlal- ly licking its way up the side of the board partition toward the ceiling.
 She immediately threw water on the fire in the wood box, but could not quench the flames which by this time had gotten inside the partition. The alarm had been spread in the mean time, several of the neighbOrs soon gathering to lend assistance. the seat of the fire was soon reached and it was put out before it had time to do any damage.
 On hearing the alarm, Phil Mets, who had his bus team hitched to that vehicle and going to the fire house. hitched the chemical wagon in the rear. Making record time to the scene of the fire, ready hands had quencned the flames ere this however, so that it was not used.

Sth street. The council in the order specifics a six foot walk instead Of a twelve foot one as has been insisted upon on the same street in the busi- ness section. The walk will be on the property side of the walk; that is to say. there will be six feet of unce- mented walk between the cement and the road; this ground may be utilized as the property owner sees fit, though it is sincerely hoped that the day will come when this little patch of ground will be planted to grass and used for ornamental purposes. The width of the walk caused some discussion at the previous meeting of the council and a twelve foot walk was not fa- vorably considered by the property owners. Cement walks are rather ex- pensiye and the property owners na- turally wished to do the work as cheaply as possible. No active steps will be taken on this work until the grade has been established. though it is expected that this will be done in a short time. zss

The council ordered a car load of tiling in different sizes to be used on the streets in place of the wooden cul- verts that have been such a source of expense and trouble for years past. Even now the marshal is engaged in replacing one wooden culvert, or rath- CT parts of it across Mill avenue. that was so badly routed that it was no longer safe. Once the tiling is install- ed, this difficulty will be obviated for the new material will last almost a life time
 Steps are being taken by the council to have the half dozen different ordi- naces now on the books relating to li- ceases, converted into one general ordinance that will cover the whole ground. To facilitate this work when the ordinance committee gets ready to take 1t up. an order was issued to have all these ordinances typewriter in order that when the time for their consideration comse up, they can be more conveniently handled.
 In addition to these matters men, tioned, the council transacted the us- ual amount of routine business, audit ed and paid the monthly bils.
 Come and get them. Still a few pears at Baldwin's.

MESA WILL RECEIVE
 RETURNING SOLDIERS
Company D, N. G. A, Not Without
 Honor in It's Own Country.

1 Word has been received by relatives
 and friends here of the boys of Com
 pany D, who are now in camp at Atlas
 cadero, to the effect that the Arizona
 companies will leave there on Wednes-
 day October IA for home. All of
 the members of Company D are report
 ed in excellent health and are enjoy | ing soldier life greatly.
 The Arizona boys there in particular,
 have been the recipients of a number of most favorable press notices in the leading papers of many of the coast towns, and the company from this city justly comes in for share of this eommendations and words of praise.
 The following extracts concerning the National Guard companies of this territory appeared in recent issue of the Los Angeles Daily Times:
 The Arizona boys showed great re- sourcefulness in taking advantage of the lay of the land, and in making the tactical movements. Some of the Ari- zona outposts lay hidden in the grass and were not discovered by the cavalry patrols until the latter almost rode over them, while several of the men crawled into trees and permitted the regulars to pass underneath without discovering them.
 Tn the afternoon, Col McClintock took out his entire command for ad- ' ance and rear guard work and in the field.
 'fn the first field maneuvers with the regulars the enemy was represented by two companies of the Arizona mi'i- tia under Capt. Lawson. When the collision between the cavalry patrol and enemy occurred the la'tGr were driven back and Col Smith and his regiment then took up a defensive pO- sition to stop the advance of hostile Blue" forces, represented by the Ari- zonians while the imaginary main body was forced to turn west where large force of Blues which had landed on the coast at Marrow. suddenly appear ed on the flock coming through the Devils Gate.
 Col. Smith and his regiment had talk en a defensive position south of Camp Atascadero, and the twentieth infan- | try under Lieut.-CoL. Moon had taken a denfensive position as an advance guard of a larger body of troops to stop the advance of an enemy coming from the north, represented by two Icompanies of Arizona militia, under Capt. Parks.
 The Arizona boys were highly com mended for their tactical disposition and work in the field in todays man Ieuvers"
 Arrangements are now in progress in Mesa to tender the boys a grand military ball upon their return home, and it has been stated that no efforts will be spared to make the affair a success.

FAIR CLOSE AT HAND
 GET BUSY TEMPE MEN
And Get Up An Exhibit That will Do This Part of the Valley Justice.

Superintendent Cook of the Pacific Creamery company, yesterday attend ed a mass meeting of the county terri torial fair commissioners, he being the Tempe member. The particular duty of these county commissioners is to see that their respective localities do something toward getting up a good exhibit of products. It will be remem- bered that at the last fair. the exhibit representing the valley in agricultural lines. was not all that it should have been and this paper. after the fair was over. felt called upon to have a heart to heart talk with the people of the valley, in the hope that the next fair would be better treated in the matter of Ra exhibit.
 Readers should bear in mind the fact that just one month from yester- day will be the opening day at the fair wherefore it is time that Tempe people awoke to the fact that 1t is now timely to begin the consideration of an exhibit representing this partic- ular locality. A part of the contribu- tions sent the Albuquerque congress will be available again for display purposes but this will be entirely in sufficient to do Tempe justice Con- seuuently it is up to the people here to bring in more exhibits and make a showing that will be a credit to the vicinity. Goods may be shipped to the fair and return free of charge for ex- hibition purposes though the freight will first have to be paid one way: then upon the return billing of the goods, the first freight charges will be related and the exhibits will be given free transportation both ways.
 Mir. Cook brought back with him a quantity Of programs and premium lists and they may be had at the Pa cific creamery, at the office of Tempe department of The Republican or at any real estate office in town. Par ties having in mind the sending of an exhibit of any kind, should secure one of these books and look into the mat ter more fully.
