water for sprinkling and other munic- ipal purposes. Last night the water superintendent was instructed to furn- ish this water free so the general fund will contain just that much more money next year and the water works fund that much less. The re- suit is the same to the tax payer and ther is less bookkeeping.
 The superintendent was also direct ed to make free pipe connection with the new public fountain erected by the Lount Ice Works at its own ex- pense.
 Heretofore it has cost property own CTS three or four dollars a lot to secure grade survey when they wanted to build a cement sidewalk. To encour- age sidewalk building the council now announces that whenever the owners of an entire block will agree to build a walk, the survey will be made at the city's expense. Moreover if two sides of the block be laid the city will pay the expense of laying the corners which abutt on either side of the block and if two consecutive blocks are provided with cement walks the Sllg VIII SOOu NlOoShdih tween. It is the desire of the council to encourage side walk building as much as possible.
 The council directed the mayor and recorder to legally convey to the coun- ty an undivided one-half interest in it's culiche tract of forty acres east of the city on payment of $500 and half the cost of the abstract. The rest of the session was devoted to the monthly routine business and the appointment of the following standing committees:
 Streets and Alleys-Campbell, Yae- ger, Marshall
 Finance-Marshall, Cisney and Campbell.
 Ordinances-Cisney, Marshall and Yaeger
 Building and Greunds-Yaeger, Campbell, Cisney.
 Fire, Water and Light-Cisney, Campbell and Marshall
 Board of Health-Entire council in- cluding mayor and health officer.

ANNUAL TAX LEVY
 MADE LAST NIGHT
Republican Administration Has Got the City Finances Adjusted to an Economical Basis.

The city council in it's regular
 monthly meeting held last night, pass
 ed the ordinance providing the annual tax levy. The total levy was S5 cents
 on each s1OO of property valuation, as
 against s1 last year and s1.1O the year before. The attention of the wide,
 wide world is called to the fact that this has been done by a republican
 council and that last years decreased rate was also made by a republican council and that if Phoenix ever be- fore had an S5 cent rate it was so long ago people have forgotten about it
 and it was in a day when the town was a mere village without the ex- penses of a real city government. The items of this levy are made up as follows: For the general fund, 70 cents; Roosevelt bonds, cents; li- brary fund, cents; other bonded in debtedness and retiring bonds, cents; total S5 cents. The last item men, tioned includes fire department refund
 ing bonds interest to May l, 1909. and interest accruing city hall and
 fire engine and plaza bonds. The levy on this item last year was cents and
 that left a small sum in the treasury of that fund. It was conceived that by additional levy of 2 cents this year the city could pay off 5000 of the principal of the fire department re- funding bonds, due in 1914 and the payment of which is optional after 1909.
 The council was inspired to do this through the fact that last years levy of cents for the Roosevelt road bonds left sufficient balance in the treasury so that fund could get along with a cent levy this year. The de- crease in one fund was added to an- other to begin paying off bonds not yet due.
 The difference therefore between this years levy and that of last year amounts to 15 cents, just the amount levied last year for the waterworks bonds interest, for which no levy at all is necessary this year, through the fact that while interest was collected last year on $300,O00 worth of bonds, none of them were sold as soon as had been expected and then only S240,- 900 worth, so there is some good in terest money in the treasury and the balance in the waterworks business is on the right side of the ledger
 It has been said by some that by suppression of gambling the city would soon become a bankrupt. That statement was absurd as is now dem onstrated. Nothing will bankrupt a good prosperous city, properly man. aged. The financial condition is im- proved in spite of the suppression of gambling. though that had nothing to do with it one way or the other
 Heretofore the city has been paying from it's general fund to the water works fund about s6.5OO annually for

FIFTEEN YEAR OF AGONY
Will You Continue to Suffer From Catarrh in the Face of This
 Testimony?

T suffered for fifteen years with catarrh troubles so bad that I had to leave the sea. I could not lie down at night to sleep. on account of the constant catarrhal dropping. I went to two different hospitals for treat ment, but without any lasting bene- fit. I was constantly raising yellow and green phlegm, and the trouble was so unbearable and nauseating that I was ashamed to go out in company. I have used only two bottles of Fly omei, and have been cured by the remedy. It has made full and com plete recovery."-Capt. Willnef.
 Hyomei is a dry, healing, antiseptic air, extracted from the Eucalyptus groves of Australia. It is a pleasure to use Hyomei, because you do not take it into the stomach; you simply breathe in this germ killing air, and relief is immediate, and complete re- covery comes in a few days. Hyomei outfit, including an inhaler that will last a lifetime, costs s1.00. If it does not cure your catarrh, asthma, bron- chitis, coughs or colds, Larson Drug Co.,, will give you your money back.

THE GULF STREAM AND THE
 WEATHER

Captain Mills of the American line steamer Philadelphia says that the Gulf stream is steadily approaching our Atlantic. coast, and he expects that in few years it will run right past our door," and New York will become a tropical city with an all most continual fog rolling in from the sea" For that matter it may be said that New York becomes a trop- ical city about every summer. If there has been any marked rise in the temperature on our Atlantic coast for the past few years the weather bureau ought to know it. There are many idle speculations about the weather and the seasons, based on imperfect recollection of for mer conditions. We have been told many times this spring that the sea-
 sons down this way are growing cold

MRS. CADWELL BETTER
Injured Woman Passes Comfortable
 Day at Grace Hospital.

Mrs. Vera Peck Caldwell passed a very comfortable day at Grace hospi- tal yesterday, and the report given out of her condition last night was favorable. That Mrs. Caldwell is hold ing her strength encourages the phy- sieians in the belief that another op- eration for the removal of the bullet from the vertebrae of the spinal cpl umn will be successful
 It has not been decided when an- other operation will be performed. The peculiar position of the bullet makes any attempt to remove it very dangerous, and the doctors are wait ing until Mrs. Caldwell has become stronger before making another at- tempt
 Since Mrs Caldwell was shot by her husband, Clifford M Caldwell, Thurs day night, Coroner Mix has been in- vestigating the case thoroughly, and in the event of Mrs. Cadwell's death he will be ready to give his results to the state immediately.
 The claim of the defense, whatever the charge. will be that Caldwell was insane when he fired the shot. His parents say that for some time he has been showing evidences of insan- ity. The fact that he personally call ed up the police from Paine's saloon, where he went after the shooting, and told the authorities where he could be found, is given as an evidence of in- sanity.

Swift's State Street Lunch Room Entered by the Lad
 der Route.
CASH DRAWER REPLIED
Tracks in the Snow Show the Thief Got in by Climbing Down
 Tl,rougb the Cut.

Gaining admittance by a very circu- itous route, burglar, who was evil dently well acquainted with the ter ritory, broke into Swifts lunch room, 4S9 State street, just before daybreak yesterday and stole s11 from the cash drawer
 It was impossible to get in through the front of the lunch room. Located as it is close to the corner of Grand avenue and State street, the front is plainly visible from all directions. The burglar climbed down the station ary ladder which leads from the Grand avenue bridge to the railroad track, and then, taking a small ladder, climbed up to cellar door opening out upon the cut. smashed 1t in and entered the cellar of the building. Then. going upstairs, he robbed the cash drawer. not touching the cash register, The exit was made the same way as the entrance.
 The night manager went home about 2 a. m. and the day manager. E. c. Thompson, came on about 5 a. m The cash drawer was empty and the tracks of the burglar on the stairs and through the snow at the foot of the ladder were easy to see. The matter has been reported to the police.

GOT COLD SHOULDER
Would-be Italian Social Light Refused
 Admission to Dance.

An Italian, who said his name was so long that he hesitated to give 1t, called at the Howard avenue and the central precinct stations last night and demanded that a dance in pro- gress at 151 Liberty street be closed and a shower bath in the form of a police raid dampen the ardor of the terpsichorean artists. He told the police that the dance was not pri- vate one and that fifty cents was the price of admission. He stated that in addition to the privilege of dancing one could secure beer for a nominal um-adding that the place had no license.
 Investigation by the Howard avenue police failed to disclose anything in the line of liquid refreshments strong CT than cold tea. Nor were they able to find that admission to the dance was charged. As the Italian had ad- mitted that the reason he complained was because he was not allowed to enter the place the police decided to carry the matter no further The dis appointment of social aspirations, they believe, does not come within the scope of the police to avenge.

Two sudden deaths under unusual circumstances was the local tally for yesterday. One was due to heart dis ease, the other to kidney trouble.
 Just as she was about to en- ter St. Johns church yesterday morning Miss Mary Wrinn dropped to the sidewalk unconscious, She was taken to the office of Dr. James Flynn, where she died before the physician could be summoned.
 A trained nurse who was passing the church when Miss Wrinn fell call ed for assistance and helped her to Dr. Flynn's office. Both she and the doctor believe death was due to con- vulsion of the kidneys.
 Miss Wrinn was about forty years old and was prominent in the activi- ties of the church. When she was stricken she was about to attempt the 9 o'clock mass. Her mother is Mrs. Mary Wrinn of 164 Davenport ave- nue, with whom she lived, and her brother is James Wrinn, clerk in the postoffice. Miss Wrinn was employed at the I. Newman factory
