first, and assured her that he still partially
alive and then he called up the bank, and what he
said to the operator something like this
Tell the boss that 1 won't be down today

Smith, let's hear what happened to you on the
interurban"
We'll I wasn't showed in. That's for sure
I had been waiting around the station about thirty
minutes when l that anti-saloon crank-you
know which one | mean-coming down the plat

what 1 in for I ducked. Decided I'd miss
a car, and my dinner tonight rather than listen
to his lingo again. Pm not finacky as rule, can
sit along side of most anybody in the car; but
somehow the fellow passenger got on my nerves
this afternoon. l suppose it was partly due to
the heat. But then mustn't touch on the weather

"On an interurban, where you're usually con-
tented with strap and the saw edge of a Merry
Widow hat in your ribs" Briggs exploded
81 know it was preposterous to expect it, but
that's what did" Smith said doggedly. Il was
going to have whole seat to myself and when !
had waited a good three hours for that car had
a vision of vacant seats that would make saint
laugh. Why, people, that was full of empty
seats | don't know for the life of me how it
happened but these the facts in the case

sumo the facts in the case are that there were

"He probably knew that the middle seat on the

was it," Smith resumed. "And so ] de-

such rare and exclusive names as Brown, Smith,
BRIGGS Johnson. The point of distinction about
the names lay in the great number or retalners
each man possessed. If so many millions were
willing to possess the title, it must be superior
"The Owl" was ultimately fixed upon as the
name at the suggestion of Mrs. Briggs, the
Minerva of the club, and with her own deft brush
she traced a great bird of wisdom on the wall
above the table in the cozy little private room
where the club had its Saturday night dinners
That first night the entire club was present IL

Saturday night he had strained several muscles
in his effort to reach town in time for dinner.
AS it was, he had to fly right down to the restau-
rant from the station without taking time 10 SO
much as wash his hands and check his grip.
"Thank the Lord, you've ordered something

married her long ago if he hadn't stood in dread

 F. w Bigham. Kelvin's popular bar Der is a very ingenious man. He can turn his hand to anything to earn an honest dollar. Not only can he shave and barber the human race well, but he can shoe a horse, and can dig and timber a mining shaft equal to any man in the country. He is willing to tackle any job going. Mir Bigham has a host of friends in Kelvin and Ray who will Vouch for his ability. MT. Bigham often laughts about the hard rough job of shoeing a horse following the delicate task of shaving man, and challenges any one to try it to see how it works.
 Paul Stevens has rented the building next to Henness & Griffin Mercantile store and is prepared to do all kinds of blacksmithing etc. He has com plete equipment of tools and in a few days will open the blackshmith shop near the Kelvin ice plant. Paul has been working in all the mining prop critics in this section and has earned the reputation of being an Al mechanic in the various lines. He has the best wishes of all for a good business in his line.
 John Summers. bookkeeper for Hem ness x Griffin is again at his duties at the store. He has been sick for a few days and we are all glad to see him around again.
 Clyde West and Al Sides have re- turned to Ray after a rapid trip through Arizona and California down to San Diego. These two boys are drill1nen at Ray and wanted to get rid of some of the superfluous money they had. In San Diego, in fact all through California they said that the mer- chants and storekeepers opened wide their eyes when they called for fifty cents worth of cigars at once, and opened their eyes still wider when they each pulled a roll of bills of large de- nomination, out of their pocket to pay for same. It seems that since the panic everyone buys single cigars and that they always have the necessary change. It takes Arizonians to open the eyes of the people and Claude and Clyde startled the population of Cal ifornia with their liberality. They both took a large roll of money away wiht them and had a great old time the entire trip. Clyde West saw, W. H.

CONFIDENTIAL TIP
 FROM Il. K. PATRICK
He Says the Salt River Valley Farm CTS Have Nothing to Do But Con- sratulate Themselves. and Vote For Cameron.

The Republican has received a let ter from II R. Patrick, who has been stopping at Del Mar, California, and has now gone to Los Angeles, concerning the change of his address. He says he cant get along without it and has seen so much of Southern California, that he cannot fail to ap- preciate Arizona more than ever. Comparing the two and speaking as an Arizonian he says:
 We are far in the lead cOmmer- cially and agriculturally and a close second climatically. The soil here is varied and adapted to the production of many things. but the scarcity of water is appalling. I have found several places where I am planning to build more Grand Canyons. In one of the best valleys here that has a water system I got out among the farmers and found that the yearly water rental was SS5 per miners inch. continuous flow. Of course only small tracts can be irrigated under such rates. In another fine valley the water rate is reckOned at 15 cents per miners inch for one day of twenty four hours. Let the Salt River valley farmer figure out for themselves what that would cost them to irrigate ten or twenty acres of alfalfa and they will congratulate themselves and bid godspeed the work on Roosevelt dam and the work of the reclamation service in gen eral; then if they are wise. vote for Cameron and the entire republi- can ticket
 This beach, Del Mar. is certainly | the best on the coast, so broad and smooth that it makes one of the finest drives in the world at low tide, extending nOrthward fifty miles, and at this point so level out to sea that one can safely play and plunge in the surf 200 feet at high tide and twice that distance at ordi- nary low tide. and the water is so
 warm that a thin blOoded Arizonian will not suffer from the cold"

 Jimmy Martz, the old prospector, who was so brutally assaulted at Peg Leg Well last week by two Mexicans, was in town yesterday to see if he could identify a man held as a sus- pect for the crime. MT. Martz said that owing to being blindfolded immediate ly he could give no definite idea of the men, and that he did not care about accusing a man unless he was positive. MartZ showed no animosity towards the suspect, but thinks it is the proper thing to keep pushing the case in order to protect other lone prospectors out in the hills
 There have been several Mexicans arrested in the last few daysi as sus- poets of starting the recent fire. Ow- ing to absence of Judge Whitmore in Kelvin they were taken to Ray and tried by Judge Nolan. L. Morena and Shorty Cass, employed by Tom Hall. . have been bound over to the grand jury.

 Mrs. BoXall was a visitor from Ray and is spending the time with Mrs. Sager and Mrs. White.
 Mrs. Silverman is daily improving in health. She has undergone a severe strain the past three months and her many friends are glad to see her around again.

A SURPRISED MINISTER.
Hyomei Cured Bronchial Catarrh Aft CT He Had Given Up in Despair.


 For many years I have been a sufferer from bronchial catarrh. and had despaired of anything like a cure Judge of my pleasant surprise when I first used Hyomei. which brought complete relief. HyOmei has been veritable godsend. Rev. Charles. Hartley. Sardinia. Ohio.
 There are many readers of The Re publican who suffer from catarrh, either nasal or bronchial Many of these despair of ever being cured. They have soaked their stomachs with nostrums until they are disgust ed with all medicines. and are now travelling their miserable way, allow ing the devilish germs of catarrh to sap them of their health, energy and vitality.
 But let us reason together. Larson, the druggist. has a guaranteed rem edy for catarrh, colds, coughs. bron- chitis. croup. and all inflammatory diseases of the nose, throat and bron- chal tubes. The name of this re- markable remedy is Hyomei. and if it does not cure. the Larson Drug O. will give you your money back.
 HyOmei (prOnounced High-o-me) is medicated air; you just breathe it through the inhaler over the inflamed and germ ridden membrane, and its soothing antiseptic properties will all lay the inflammation, destroy the germs. and restore the entire respira- tory tract to it's normal conditions.
 A complete Hyomei outfit, includ- ing a hard rubber inhaler, costs but $1.O0. and an extra bottle of HyOmei, if afterwards needed, costs gut 50 cents. See the Larson Drug Co. about it today.

 This is not his first residence in Phoenix. Three years ago he came here and held position with the New ork store.

 fRobertaille was in an indifferent mood l yesterday and his support was as much off color as was his twirling. He was an exceptionally easy target and the Travellers fattened their batting averages to their hearts desires.
 Buchanan returned the compliment, however, and for the second successive afternoon the resounding smack of safe swats cheered the faithful. Capt Bob Wood was ejected from the game and later from the park for kick ing at decisions, and beeing from the bench. This was the sole disturbing chord, every other detail running along smoothly, the Travellers winning because they couldn't help 1t, and the Barons caring very little what happened.
 It was ever thus with two tailending clubs in the last week of the season, and it is an occasion when no one should harm the bird which can but won't sing.
 The Travellers scored in the fourth in- ming. Collins drew walk and was sac rificed to second. Eyler's neat hit over short scored him.
 The Barons evened up in their half of the same inning Raub was safe on an error of Connors, took second on a scratch hit by Douglass, and scored on Smiths double to center, which Blakely threatened to stab.
 In the fourth the Barons for fear they might have to go ten or more innings grew exceedingly tame. Hart opened with a walk, but was forced by Buch- anan. Griffin hit safe to right. Blakely stung one to Walters, and attempting a double Lew threw to center, Buchanan scoring. Collins ht scored Griffin, and Blakely and Collins scored when Con- nors tripled to deep right. Wells was walked, again filling the sacks, but Fly Ter failed to connect.
 In the sixth the Travellers got another. Hart opened with a single to center. Griffin's double to center.
 In the seventh with Molesworth on first Henline trpled to right and might have scored himself. This ended the run-get- ting and the game was concluded with out unusual incident.
 Little Rock was ostensibly weaker than usual, for Hess, on account of an in jury, was out of the game. Pitcher Fly Ter played short, while Griffin was showed up to third. When Wells succeeded Wood behind the bat Pitcher Hart went to right. The three pitchers in the game, however played magnificently, and they l hit Robertaille as easily as any other of their team.

SCHOOLS OPEN
 AT TUSCALOOSA
Attendance Is Large On the First Day-More Room Is
 Needed.

Tuscaloosa. September 15.-(Special)- The city public schools opened in a most fiattering manner yesterday The total enrolment on the first day was 4S2, the Stafford school being S7S, while the Jem- ison school had 109. The colored schools opened with 250.
 The number enrolled in the High school is especially gratifying, 97 having enrolled yesterday. The high school is up to d high standard this year and will prepare it's pupils for entrance into any of the southern colleges and universities. The faculty this year is considered as exceed ingly good
 The only drawback is the fact that the buildings in their present condition are scarcely adequate to accommodate the increasing numbers, and certain in- provements are necessary. The present depleted condition of the city treasury however, makes the inauguration of these Improvements somewhat a problem at present.

 It might well be termed a feature bill, and those attending are assured of a very pleasant hour
 The headliner on this bill, this week, is J. Francis Keeley and Company, in a heavy dramatic sketch, The Aveng- ing of Nance" This sketch is a novel; ty in vaudeville, and is being produced in Birmingham for the first time, having come from what is known in the profess sion as the Big Time MT. Keeley is an impressive actor, and holds his au- diences spellbound from his entrance to his exit His rendition of Balfe's fa- nous song, '"rhe Heart Bowed Down," awoke a responsive chord lr the hearts of many. The death scene iD the little play let is deserving of special mention, as is also his interpretation of madman.

Coach Counselman of Howard college reached Birmingham yesterday, and started immediately towards forming a football team to represent that institu- ton during the ensuing season.
 Coach Counseman thinks the prospects for Howard are exceedingly fine, He states that seven veterans of last seasons team had returned, and that two others would probably be on hand by time the practice is begun in earnest
 Howard has a fine schedule this season, and hopes to make such a record that it will become a greater factor in Southern athletics. In Birmingham, the institu-
