couple of men to go out to his supposed
 sheep ranch, promising them $40 each
 He drew checks for those amounts and
 as he had secured the confidence of H l c. Lockett he got his endorsement of | the checks. They were cashed at the Phoenix National Bank.
 That night Wilbur tried to negotiate another check at M'Dougall X Gaseous
 but telephonic inquiry at Tempe brought the information that Harry L. Wilbur was unknown at the bank. Yesterday morning Wilbur appeared at
 the Phoenix National Bank with anoth- CT check Cashier Burmister, who had
 been apprised by this time of the char acter of the man said that he would have to telephone to Tempe in regard to the check. Wilbur said that was satisfactory and he went out saying he would return in a few minutes.
 Mir Burmister sent word to the of flee of the sheriff and Deputy Adams who responded located Wilbur near the Ford hotel and took him into custody Al the jail he was questioned by Sher- if Hayden regarding the family of Dr. Wilbur He answered readily all ques tions about the sons of the doctor, but when he was asked the names of the mother and daughter he got them wrong.
 It was afterward found that two checks had been disposed of at the Valley Bank; they were for small amounts. When Wilbur first appear ed there he was turned down by the cashier. but he fingered about the bank until the cashier went away when he entered again and presented two checks to the assistant who cashed them.
 So far as could be learned yester day the name of the man is Harry Weathers who had been employed by George Wilbur, a son of Dr. Wilbur. and who is extensively engaged in the sheep business. Weathers left his em ployment just before the beginning of the territorial fair and came to PhOe- nix. He is about forty years of age and of fairly good appearance.

.CANTALOUpE GROWERS
 WILL MEET TONIGHT
E. E. cadwalIader Will Tell the Glen dale Csntaloupe Growers What He Has Learned in Fifteen Years at Rocky Ford.

i At a meeting of the cantaioupe growers of Glendale at the Glendale school house tonight, E. E. Cadwallader who, with Lee C. Seibert, handled the icantaloupe crop of that district so suc-
 cessfully this year. will tell what he knows about raising the fruit. MT. Cadwallader has had 15 years eXperi-
 ence in raising cantalope in the Rocky
 Ford district in Colorado and will give lpractical advice to farmers who care
 to hear it. He will be glad to answer all questions in regard to the raising i of the fruit. There will be other speakers and as the cataloupe industry ! in Glendale is a new one there should be considerable interest shown and good attendance at the meeting. It is an astonishing fact that the first lcantaloupes ever grown in the Glendale district brought the highest prices of lany in the United States. In a poor season, when the California fruit was being dumped by the roadside because the prices did not warrant the ship ment of the fruit, the price received for Glendale standard cantaloupes av- eraged S107 a box or 19 cents higher than the best known and most adver tised brand in this country-the Rocky Fords.
 Sixty-one cars containing 10000 box es of cantaloupes, were shipped be- tween July 3rd last, and Aug. v. Con sidering the fact that the Glendale brand has never been advertised and that it was the first crop from this part Of the world. the price obtained is remarkable. In a good year, when shipping facilities are at their best when the fruit is scafce on account of frost or for other causes which will have no effect in this district, the pro- fit to the man who raises this class of fruit will be enormous.
 One thing which Mir. Cadwalader wishes to impress on the growers is the necessity of fixing on a particular brand to bring before eastern buyers 4 -cantaloupe may be just as sweet without a name, but it will not sell so we'll The Rocky Ford is known throughout the country and it's name stamped upon the box guarantees the quality of the fruit. There is no req son why the superior fruit grown by
Arizona republican., 1908-11-18

the Glendale farmers should not at tain the same reputation. The fruit is unquestionably superior or it would not have obtained the better price in the open market.
 [ Mir Cadwalader and MT. Seibert dis posed of the cantalOupe crop through Crutchfield and Woolfolk of Pittsburg, last season and before the last car was shipped had the contracts for next years crop. It is for the benefit of the growers that Mir. Cadwalader and other speakers will address the meeting tonight. It will be held at : o'clock.

A man who called himself Harry L. Wilbur. was caught yesterday flooding the town with worthless checks on the Bank of Tempe. He had been at it for at least two days and at least two of them reached the bank yesterday. The cash realized, so far as known amounts to S155.
 This man had been in town during fair week, most of the time drunk. He pretended to be a son of pr. E. W. Wilbur and claimed to be. extensively interested in the sheep industry. He said that he was the owner of 22,G00 head and beside balance to his credit of $2S.000 in the Bank of Tempe.

was her glance. and in came Miss Doughface and sat down in the chair.
 The old man turned and looked At her, and in loud voice cried:
 "Messrs. Smoothface & Punchett Chicago, Ill.-Dear Sirs: Replying to your favor of the 18th, we wish to say that we are disgusted at your method of doing business You have broken your promised delivery four times now and we will have no more of it. Upon receipt of this letter we want you to telegraph us whether the order has yet been shipped, and unless we re- ceive such a telegram we shall take such steps as seem best to us. To cancel the order alone would afford us too little satisfaction under the cir. cumstances. and we shall consider if our duty to the trade to enter suit for the damages which your conducr has caused us, as warning to others what they may expect at your hands Yours, etc"
 He picked up another letter from his desk and read 1t over with a smile,
 Write that letter that I gave you at once. Miss Doughface," he said and ask Miss Rose to come in"
 In came Miss Rose loveler than ever, and as she sat down the old man beamed on her and said.
 ''Messrs. William B. Chase & Co. Pittsburg, Pa.-Dear Sirs: We beg to acknowledge with our best thanks re- ceipt of your valued order of yester- day. We have entered this for imme. diate attention. and we shall do our best to ship it we'll in advance of our promised delivery. Again thanking you. and with the writer's kindest re. gards to Mir. Chase, we are. yours sincerely"
 As she finished her notes she looked up and caught his eye He smiled encouragement upon her and picked up another letter
 This letter he read to himself slow. ly, and the further he read the more he scowled. It was evident here was letter that called for a severe and caustic answer and in an ominous voice, Mir Bullwinkle cried:
 Send Miss Doughface in!"

BEAUTIES OF A FLY BLISTER.

The Marshfleld News tells how Her man Bauer treated himself for pain In the back. Instead of forgetting 1t Mir. Bauer slapped Spanish fly bls- ter on his person. A fly blister is a good deal like hiring a butcher to skin you. In about five minutes 1t set up confagration on Herman like a fire in a paint shop. ss
 He at once separated himself from the plaster. but the latter left its warm, cheery influence behind There was no let up to the pain it gave him. At three in the morning it was still burning like coal of fire, and, un- able to stand It any longer. he tele- phoned for his family doctor, who happened to be eight miles out in the country. Herman now imagined he could smell burning flesh. .. Daylight brought the doctor, who with proper solutions soon got the fire under con trol. There Is a spot on Herman's s back about the size of wool hat. but the other pain has quit

Corroboration Of Bible Story.

Burgsch Bey. the Psychologist, says that 1t is no longer difficult to under stand the origin of the seven lean years" narrative in the book of Gene sis. The hieroglyphic inscriptions translated by him show that 1,700 years before the Christian era the Nile for seven consecutive years did not overflow and famine, pestilence and misery followed. We know" says he, that the date of the seven years of fruitlessness mentioned in Genesis was HOO R. c. and thus what has been looked upon as fancy has through these hieroglyphics become matter of history. The failure of the Nile to overflow. the whitening of the vegetation, the lands devoid of crops, famine and the consequent scourges are all depicted in the pictures which the student has been able to de- cipher"

Candles in China.

The Chinese people are great users of candles, or rather what used to be known in America as "tallow dips" These are an inferior quality of can dle which are locally manufactured with wick consisting of a straw soaked in some infiammable, material the straw projecting from tho lower end of the candle for a distance of two or three Inches. The acAsai can de is not more than four or i've inch. es in length, though larger ones are made for use on the sacrincial altars, in large lanterns. etc. The candles are of a peculiar Chinese shape. about of an inch at the top, taper ing at the bottom. from which the straw wick projects. The hole in the straw gives an opportunity to stick these on small wire spike which projects from the center of all Chinese candlesticks. and which holds the can. de in an upright position.
