In Moscow the detective police have dis covered an organization for the falsfica- tion of postage stamps which, perhaps, has been existing in that city and Var sovia for long time.
 The method of the gang consisted in cleaning used postage stamps for use anew. In the last two months six mill lions of these false stamps have been sent out from Moscow. The cleaning was so well effected that for long while the trick remained undiscovered in the press of work in the post offices.

REBUILDING THE UTAH DAM.

The recent rise in the Salt river caused by the heavy rains of two weeks ago did considerable damage to the di- version dam Of the Utah canal washing it almost entirely away.
 r. E. Jones has been superintend- ing the reconstruction of this dam. For the past ten days he has had from twenty-five to thirty teams employed in hauling brush and rock with which to fill in the break This work is now completed about half the dis tance across, which has already given a flow of 5000 inches of water in the Utah canal The work is being done systematically and as rapidly as pOssi- ble Every effort is being made to- ward making the dam more substan- tial and capable Of withstanding floods in the future. A construction force of about sixty men have been engaged in this work under the sup ervision of MT. Jones and as the deep est part of the river has already been covered. it is expected that it will only require about week longer to com plete the re- building of the dam.

A DECIDED SUCCESS.
"The Man From Mexico" Captured Its
 Audience.

MT. Wheelock and his company of talented PhOenicians made a decided hit last evening in their presentation of the comedy drama, The Man From Mexico" at the Mesa opera house.
 Long before the time for the raising of the curtain the theater was well filed. The advance sale of tickets was almost unprecedented. All the seats were sold early in the day. It was the first time in many moons when stand ing room was at a premium in the Mesa opera house. Mir. Wheelock was heartily greeted by the large audience on his appearance as MT. Fftzhew. He is talented actor and fully reach ed the expectation of his hearers and delivered his comical remarks in a ninth impelling manner which kept the audience laughing from the beginning to the finish.
 Miss Wiley who took the part of the sedate Mrs. F'itZhew was thoroughly at home, and did splendidly.
 Mrs. Henry George as Nettie Majors was decidedly ingenious in her deliv- cry and expression.
 Miss Edna Murry as Sallie was a NtlN lOpuleii Nlleli cAINtI as al LllldiiNtt and exhibited marked talent. Mrs. George P Bullard as Miranda, the cute maid, also came in for much applause, and proved how necessary she was to the household.
 Mir. Bullard was fine as MT. Majors, a well meaning friend of MT. Fitzhew. His advice was very good
 C. B. Stambaugh was pleasing in his delivery of the comic dialect and man. ner of Won Bulow Schmitz, and ere ated much laughter with his capers.
 Charles Christy was well suited for the trying part of under warden.
 Pau l Reneau Ingles represented Warden Loveall in an excellent man ner.
 George Williamson proved a good character as a member of the anarch- istic tribe.
 Harry Klawans as Richard Daunton made an up-to-date lover. and George Lutgerding in the role of Lawyer Frar- Ter was typical in his delineation of q Philadelphia Lawyer"

 short time since the association sent out over 500 copies of a circular letter explaining the quality and va rieites of fruits and vegetables pro- duced in this particular section of Arizona. and also containing valuable data regarding the time of maturity of each. Since this time the secretary of the association, Charles F. Jones. has received numerous letters asking Tor more information and offering markets for the fruit and vegetables grown here
 The following letter reproduced is one of the many interesting cOmmuni cations which have been received by this associations:

Let us say to you that the oranges that have been coming east from your state for the past few years have been a revelation to she fruit world. We make this statement with thirty years experience in handling oranges. We thought at one time that Florida and California held the key to orange culture but Arizona fruit told us different tale and if you can grew other fruit and produce of the same quality that you do oranges. you will sooner or later have gold medal at tached to each tree in your state.

It's almost anything but funny
 Scratching pennies from the box. And now. quite confidentially.
 I'll tell you something more; A rural carrier way out west
 Forgot himself and swore: Says he, "I can stand the snowdrifts,
 can stand the frozen locks. But blast the measly pennies
 In the blasted measly box" When the roll Is called up wonder,
 And we all shall gather there, They wouldn't let mail man in
 If they knew he'd learn to swear. If you want St. Peter to open the gate

ION my travels In Venezuela" said
= New York man, Il stayed in hotel
with a young man in whose family
there was the taint Of leprosy, though
he apparently did not have It. One
night sitting at dinner he became
angry at a waiter and brought his
hand down on the table with full force.
He instantly realized that he did not
feel the blow, and sat looking at his
hand, his face whitening with horror.
Give me your knife, Bob he said to
his chum. He grabbed the pocket
knife in frenzy and stabbed the side
Of his hand with vicious cuts from
finger tip to wrist. You may not know
that leprosy appears In the side OF the
hand. numbness being a sign. The
man did not feel the cuts. He arose
from the table. knocking over his
chair, rushed out into the courtyard
Of the hotel, and we heard the quick
tang of revolver shot, telling us how
he had conquered the leper's curse by
ending his lafe.'

OF the step. while she sits at the othe.
end. holding on her arm an infant.
And 1t always seemed to me mat
trade must be dull with her, because
l never saw anybody buy OF her; and
finally thought It was up to me to
buy something and sort of help trade
along a little. Because, you see, while
the profit on sboestrings is very large,
still you don't make anything at all
unless you sell some.
so ! thought Id buy a pair. which
was easy to do, for the reason that
she had good stock. Not a skinny
little mess thrown down there on the
doorstep to attract attention to her
and the child. but real assortment
to choose from; and II wouldn't be any
charity to buy Of her.

over and selected strings of the ex.

these there with tips OF the particular
kind like best she looking on while
