law. etc. II is the aim of the school
to give practical office work in both
courses, and fit the student for he
business life he will lead when he
leaves school.
The high school course includes
English, Latin German, algebra, ge-
ometry. ancient, medieval. and mod
ern history. and all other regular high
school subjects.
The grammar school department has
been reorganized and the course of
study has been revised just recently,
now offering special inducements to
all students desiring work of this
kind
Individual attention has been the
motto of the school since its establish
ment
The best references or advertise
ments that the school can offer are the
many young men and women in Phoe-
nix and surrounding territory, who are
now holding responsible positions. and
who have received their training at
the Phoenix Academy and Business
College. The employees of these young
people, also, have nothing but praise
to offer regarding the work.
There came to Phoenix last winter a
young man without money or friends.
After a few DAYS in town he secured
a job of manual labor at low wages.
He CHANGED to hear of the night school
conducted at the Phoenix Academy
and at once determined to attend. At
ter few months of diligent applica-
ton, he was able to take a clerical
position which pays him twice what
the manual labor paid, with shorter
hours and less arduous duties This
is but one of many such instances
that might be cited, and serves to
show what pluck and industry will ac-
complish, when the opportunity for
obtaining instruction is at hand.

RAISON WON MATCH
WITH LOCAL WRESTLER
Put Casey on His Back in Six Minutes
and Half.

Six minutes and thirty seconds was
the time required by Roy ]. Raison to
place Young Casey to the mat on
Saturday night at the Third Avenue
Theater. The contest as eagerly
watched by the large crowd that as
sembled to witness this feature of the
motto Comedy Co.
From the first it was quite evident
that the principals in the bout were
eXerting every possible means to gain
the referees decision. Back and forth,
all over the mat, they scrambled, tug
ged and wrestled, every muscle being
v rought to it's highest tension.
When fall was announced by the
referee a burst of applause greeted the
winner.
Mr.. Raison says the hold bringing
him victory was known as scissors"
hold, coupled with the far Nelson"
Casey objected to the scissor hold,
claiming it to be foul, but later learned
that the contested hold was in every
respect legitimate.
This bout gives Mr. Raison two falls
out of three, he having on Friday night
secured one fall to Casey's fall. At
he close of this exhibition, Mr.. Raison
challenged Casey, to throw the local
man three times insode of thirty min
utes. Casey straightway accepted the
challenge. This proving to be a more
than usual interesting affair, as the
local man is very nifty and many Of the
local sports are even offering odds
that Raison has undertaken a larger
job than he can complete within the
specified time.

It has been abundantIy proven that
The Republicans big scholarship con-
test is a most worthy and successful
educational campaign. Not only are
the people generally greatly interested
in helping these boys and girls to earn
for themselves free scholarships, trips
or prizes, but they are watching the
young hustlers as they are rapidly
learning to meet strangers and to con-
duct a business campaign for their
own benefit The training that the
contestants are receiving will be Of
inestimable value during all their fu-
ture careers, but are such as will later
have TO battle with life's problems
with nothing but their own minds and
past training in special lines they may
take up. The scholarships offered by
The Republican, are just what any
wise man might select for such am
bilious boys and girls as are in this
contest Everyone of the hustlers is
unusually bright. Each one has the
snap and vim to work as has been il
Illustrated already by the respective
scores, and there is no doubt but that
in future years several of them will
be in the foremost ranks of the lead
ers of the people they may live
among.
ANY one who may from time to time
wish to see these young business men
and women. may have the pleasure Of
a chat with them most every evening
about six o'clock. That is the time
that they usually turn in their days
work.
The Saturdays contest results of
the Mesa hustlers did not reach The
Republican office until yesterday.
Both the Mesaites increased their
scores. Walter Tway going up three
notches in the score column.
Among the prizes offered are two
scholarships in the Phoenix Business
College and Academy a short descrip-
ton Of which will not be amiss.
PHOENIX ACADEMY AND BUsI-
MESS COLLEGE.
Any one who has been in Phoenix
during the last five years knows the
reputation of the Phoenix Academy
and Business College.
This institution was originally
founded by Arthur Anderson, B. A, of
Ontario, Canada, and has steadily in
creased, both in favor and size, until
today it is recognized by educational
people as one of the leading private
schools of the southwest.
This school maintains three well or
gained departments, viz: CONNER
cial. high school, and grammar school,
each in charge of faithful, competent
instructors, who have had years Of ex-
perience in both public and private
school work
In the commercial department two

Goes to the Pen,

In the Federal court yesterday after
noon just prior to adjournment for
the day, ]. E. Schoffner, telegraph
operator. who had been convicted of
the larceny of seven money orders
from the Southern Express company,
was called up for sentence. Mr.. F. NJ.
Shannonhouse, his attorney, made a
strong plea for his client, asking the
court for leniency in view of certain
facts which he cited. Mr.. Shannon
house stated that SchOffner's mother
Is q widow and very SOrely in need of
the support of her boy and that on
the very day Schoffner was arrested
he received a telegram announcing
the death of his brother.
After hearing the strong appeal or
Mr.. Shannonhouse, Judge Poyd stat
ed that the crime for which the de-
fendant stood convicted was most
serious: that he has not only used the
mails TO defraud in one Specihc IN
stance, hut in addition thereto he had
collected on one Of the Southern En-
press company's orders S35 at Bur-
lington and on two other orders had
endeavored TO secure two diamond
rings. his failure being only due TO
the diligence Of the postal authorities
and representatives of the Southern
Express company. The court further
declared that in ms eSumatlon the
imposition Of a fine would be no pun
ishment upon the defendant, because
of the fact that his relatives would
have it TO pay. and for that reason
sentenced him to serve year and a
dav in the Federal prison at Atlanta.
Schoffner was turned over to United
States Marshal Harkrader and was
taken to Atlanta last night.
The seven money orders were Sto-
len by SchOffner on the night Of May
6th from the Southern Express COM
pany at WellfOrd s. c., and on the
o1st of May POstoffiCe Inspectors
HarShberger and Higgins had the
prisoner in custody and bound over

Pickenpacker was arrested at Well
ford and bound over to the October
term Of court at Greenville. :. {. Of
the seven money orders stolen the
postal inspectors secured six and
these were used in the trial here

coNsIDERATE Mr.. SELLERS.
Columbia Tiger Permitted Rading
Officers to Depart In Peace.

1t is with pleasure that we direct at
tention to the kindness Of heart lat
terly manifested by our fellow-towns-
man, Mr.. Wade H. Sellers. Unhap-
PLY, il is not infrequent that in the
strenuous battle of this busy world,
the disposition is for those who can
To crush opposition, to demand and TO
take the pound of flesh" II is doubly
gratifying therefore when we meet in
the business world a spirit quite con-
trary; a spirit Of forbearance, a spirit
of generosity. And IL IS high duty or
the press to chronicle those events that
give the lie to the croakings Of the
croakers when they pessimistically in
Sist that the world is degeneratinS In
its social ideals. that there is retro
gression in our business standards. and
a disappearing of the spirit of chivalry
in the communion of men.
In the public prints yesterday it was
recorded that three dispensary cOnsta-
bles, armed with a warrant, inconsid-
crate disturbed the Sabbath peace Of
the premises occupied by Mr.. Sellers,
Columbias distinguished King of
Blind Tigers" These prying-we might
say officials, disregarding
the sacred right of our privileged fell
lOw-townsman to Shatter the statutes
upon three hundred and siXty-six days
of leap year went so far as to seize
1872 half pints of that celebrated brand
which has won for Major Sellers his
proud title of Tiger Booze King"
Yet, mark the generosity Of the man.
take note of the forbearance of Colo
mel Sellers let this manifestation or
chivalry give hope and courage to those
of us having faith in this old World's
betterment: Not one Of those minions
Of the law was killed!
The proVocation to General Sellers
was great The indignity thus heap
ed upon the King of Tigers would
have been unbearable to man OF
meaner mould. He permitted them
to depart with unpunctured carcasses'
even when his good rifle was by ms
side; even when he recalled that
when last they came-'twas Washing
toms. birthday-similarly representing
the despised law, the foremost had
bit the dust: even when he remem-
bered that the supreme court justice
had promptly released him upon a
bond in cash, earned in a business In
which the law was treated with that
contempt which its pusillanimous
weakness deserves; even when ne
knew his power to retain counsel py
the year to relieve him from trouble
when disregarding society's absurd
conventions: even when he knew that
at the recent trial, after one of the
Jurors had been drunk in the habita-
tions OF tigers" the jury failed TO
agree!
- What greater victory than the tri-
umph of man over himself! What
nobler part than the magnamimity or
permitting to live those creatures de-
serving determination at our hands!

portunity seldom presented if it fails
to have struck a suitable medal, and

tions in recognition of the generosity
