FELICITOUS
 CEREMONIAL
Republicans Opening a
 Great Success
Thousands Visited the New Plant to See the Wheels Go Round and Wish the Paper We'll.

The Republicans opening was all that the management could have de- sired. Upwards of two thousand friends, neighbors and well Wishers of the paper called during the after noon and evening to join in the felici- tations of the occasion and all The Republican can say is that it hopes all the visitors enjoyed their call as much as the management of the paper ap- preciated their presence. The latch string is now officially thrown out, the doors unlocked and the keys thrown away. From this time forth the doors are open to anybody and everybody for business or a social call. Those who have items of interest for publi- cation, those who have words of friend ly greeting, those who care to culti- vate closer relations with the greatest newspaper in Arizona, and those who have money to spend for advertising and desire to spend it where it will do the most good-all are welcome at The Republican office If the busi- ness force is not on hand the working force will be and the new office like the old one will be a center of activity tWenty-four hours a day and 365 days in the year.
 The formal opening began at D. m, though all day was spent in making the office ready for its guests. Pepper boughs were spread over the business office in profsuion and a big sign on the east wall Of the business office bade all corners welcome. Fruit punch was served to all corners and chairs were provided for the women and chil- dren who might care to pause for a few moments of rest.
 The work of moving had hardly been finished vet and the big job room is still in turmoil, a vast aggregation of stock and machinery that has not yet been strengthened out and placed in

commission again. The opening was not originally designed to take place until two or three days later nut cir cumstances made Saturday night the most available date and it was under taken. The immense crowd was a flat tering compliment to the paper and the more when it is remembered that the announcement had been made only two da2s before.
 In the afternoon there were many visitors, some from town but more from out of town as was expected. In the evening however there were scores Of visitors for every small group that came in the afternoon. It was the natural hour for the visit of the towns people and it was also the hour when the working force was on in full strength as at night the real working hours of the news department Wash ington street also was crowded during the evening by the throng passing to and from The Republican office and incidentally dropping into the stores. Several merchants said the incident was a good trade getter for them and
 
 have an opening every Saturday night Many of the clerks, though, are regret ting that they could not get away to enjoy The Republicans celebration. Among the other pleasing features of the day was the kindly mention of the event in the Gazette. one of The Re- publican's afternoon contemporaries which extended fraternal courtesies.
 In the evening also Professor Foun- tain's orchestra discoursed sweet mu- sic until late hour to entertain the visitors during their idle moments in passing from one place to another of newspaper making. and all of which the visitors wanted to see and were entitled to see. The music alone was well worth coming to hear.
 It was a source of qualification that so many women and children were among the visitors for it was an in- structive visit for many of them and perhaps offers to the ladies some idea of the compleXity of the business. some explanation of the typographical and other Imaginable or embarrassing mis- takes that are bound to occur from time to time in getting an article into bAiC pelptA nbuSi llie DuSileSS or newspaper making is well systematfzed these days, its volume and complexity is so great that mistakes will happen occasionally in the best regulated of flee
 General A. J. Sampson sent word to the office regretting that he was un- able to be present by reason of illness, an incident in which the regrets are mutual. not alone for the absence of the general but on account of his ill., ness which it is hoped will be only trivial
 Another message came as follows from the mayor of Prescott to the general manager and was greatly ap- preciated:
 T see by today's Republican that you are to have an opening tomorrow, with free music and refreshments for everybody. I am sorry l cannot be with the crowd, to congratulate you on the occasion, and to take one with you, at your expense, to your contin- ued success.

Gun That Makes No Nni.a

mere IS surely a terrible respon-
 sibility resting today upon the sbouId- CTS or Hiram Percy Maxim inc son
 or the inventor of the machine snn So writes P. Harvey Middleton in
 the Technical World Magazine for
 May. For he has patented g1n
 which will kill a man with mo more | nolse than the hissing of a snake
 Al nisn Nlth this silent weapon a Hiuruerer could shoot down his victim without attracting the least attention ana only on examination would the cause or death be revealed.
 Oh the other hand a single police man using the noiseless gun could dlsable every member of a gang of burglars before they recovered their surprise. It is an invention which may lead to the re-equipment of the armed forces of the world, and the revolutionizing of modern methods of Warfare-will perhaps even hasten the happy day when there will be no war. for the very best safeguard against war is the invention of wea- pons of such terrible power that ar mics will never dare to stand against each other. War" said Bismarck, -is the greatest enemy of war, and VIII eventually put war out of exist ,ence."
 In the next great war skirmishers may use noiseless rifles, enabling them to creep along an enemy's front and shoot down the unsuspecting pickets one after another, and not until their dead bodies were discov- cred would the alarm be given. The extended front of a whole army, con cealed in the underbrush or behind rocks, could work terrible havoc among the opposing forces before it's position could be located. To the big game hunter the silent firearm will ipen up new horizons.
 An illustrated description of the re- markeble new arm follows.

Roqer c. Sullivan of Chicago Plans
New Departure to Convey Men
from Illinois to Denver
Convention

Roger C. Sullivan, national Demo-
cratic committeeman from Illinois, has
instituted a new departure in travelling
by chartering an automoplle tram 10
convey a number of the Illinois dele
gates from Chicago to the national con-
vention in Denver next July.
Committeeman Sullivan's party Will
include a number of we'll known con-
gressmen and other distinguished DEM
ocrats, who will leave Chicago on June
81, arriving in Denver on July 4. The
train will be composed OF four Stude-
baker touring cars and a commercial
wagon, built by the same firm, to De
used as q baggage coach. The trip Will
be made by easy stages, as on account
of the numerous receptions which will
be planned at the different towns
through which the train will pass the
going will average about 125 to 100
miles day.
One of the most important stops will
be made at Lincoln, Neb., the home or
w. J. Bryan, the heir apparent to the
Democratic nomination, who will hold
a reception for the visiting delegates.
After leaving Chicago the train Will
pass through Dixon, Sterling and Nor
rison, ILL.,, crossing the Mississippi
river at Clinton, Iowa, and subsequent
Moines and Council Bluffs, Iowa, thence
to Omaha, Neb., and, after brief stay
In Lincoln, will proceed to Denver over
a route to be selected later.
Tickets for the trip will be issued on
the same plan as those used in rail-
road travelling, and the fare will be
identical with that charged by the
standard railways to the delegates who
prefer travelling by rail. These tickets
will be countersigned by the mayors
of the various towns through which the
delegates pass.
This is the first time in the history
of American transportation that auto
mobiles have been utilized for long dis
lance passenger service in competition
with trunk line railroads, and Commit
teeman Sllivan's selection of this novel
method of travel for his delegates is a
precedent. The touring cars which will
compose the train each will seat seven
passengers, and will be built on the
same type of chassis as that of the
Studebaker war message car, which re-
