JUNGLE JOSH PERKINS"
The Attraction At the Goodwin Opera
 House Next Tuesday. -

There is a peculiar charm about a rural play. when presented with fidel- ity to nature. such a one is Uncle Josh Perkins" the realistic comedy drama, which will hold the boards at the Goodwin opera house on Tuesday night for one night only. It is said to contain just enough tragedy, with comedy elements cleverly interwoven. to attract and retain human interest and funny enough to extract hearty laughter from the most blase theater- goer. It is said to possess an atmos- phere as pure as the. scent of new mown hay and tells pretty love story, in a highly original manner; splendid stage settings depicting rural scenes of lifelike simplicity and well known landmarks of New York are used in the four acts of the play, which is given jest by the introduction of splen
 did specialties thoroughly in harmony with the theme of the story throughout the various acts. This attraction promises to be an unusually able one, the statement being based upon re- ports from the press Of other cities and theatrical managers in whose theaters it has appeared the present season.

THE CITY COUNCIL
 AND THE WATER WORKS
A Consideration of the Report of En- gineer Core.

The special meeting of the city council for the purpose of the listen ing to the decision of w. H. Code and for further considering the water works proposition was held in the town hall on Friday night. No de- cision was arrived at in the matter of engineers, this matter being left over until the next regular meeting on the first Tuesday in December
 Mayor Barnett stated that he had been confering with Engineer Reed. who has recently finished reinstaliing the Phoenix water system, and that MT. Reed would be in Mesa today for the purpose of going over both the ground and the proposed plans of the water system for this place.
 Those who were at the testing of the new city well located in North park reported that the well furnished flow of 45 inches. and that this amount lowered the water level during the pumping operations from thirty to sixty feet. as this was thought to be excessive, it was determined to have the we'll cleaned of the accumulation of sand which it is thought has seeped through the perforators of which there are nearly 40.
 One of the suggestions made by En- gineer C6de in his report to the coun- cil, was that of a cement tower, in the place of the proposed steel one. The former. MT. Code said. he had ascer- tained from reliable source could be erected for the same cost as one con- structed of steel

MESA GETS FINE RAIN.

For the past two days Mesa and vf- cinity have been favored with fine showers, which will prove very bene- ficial at this season of the year. All of the farmers who have been ap- preached on the subject are unani- nous in their expressions to the effect that the rain will result in great good to the crops and particularly the wheat and other grains which have recently been planted. Many of the farmers in this vicinity have finished the work of putting in their fall crops, while others are just in the midst of their seeding. The indications are that Mesa will receive more rain before the weather clears. The showers have been very mild and accompanied by but lit tie wind. and the roads have been much benefited by rain at this time. for those upon which the heavy freighting teams travel were getting very dusty and cut up.

A THING OF THE PAST
 DIPHTHERIA EPIDEMIC
There Will Be the Usual Sunday Ser vices Today and Schools Will Open In the Morning.

The diphtheria epidemic, which for the past few weeks has been respon- sible for the close of school and various and sundry little matters of inconveni- ence on the part of the Tempe public, may now be regarded as a thing of the past. Though there are yet one or two cases in town, these families are under strict quarantine and no further spread of the disease is anticipated.
 So sure are the city officials that the disease has been effectually stamped out, they have authorized the an nouncement this morning that the town is no longer under restrictions of any kind. Church services and Sunday school services will be permitted as usual today and both the public and training schools will open tomorrow morning. Both of these institutions have now lost two weeks time and the teachers of the two schools request the announcement to parents that there is no danger whatever and they are urged to see that their children attend school in the morning. So much time has now been lost that 1t means a good deal of hard work to catch up and unless there is good attendance of the pupils, the teachers and those pupils who do attend will be greatly handi- capped.
 Though the epidemic is fully con quered the officials for a short time Will not relax their vigilance, but will keep a sharp look out for any future cases that might develop. This is not in the least expected. but every possi ble precaution will be taken. During the two weeks that there has been no school, the buildings have been thor oughly fumigatd and the normal and high school buildings have undergone a similar course of treatment.

AT THE NORMAL

Critics differ as to whether T Francis Hughes is a lyric or dramatic tenor; probably on account of his clear ringing. yet round and full voice, with range. of three octaves, and sup ported by a very dramatic temperament which he has inherited from his Welsh ancestry who were singers (some quite noted) as far back as they can be traced. His repertoire embraces all the standard oratorios, the best Ger man and Italian arias, Scotch, Irish and modern ballads Mir Hughes ap- pears at the Normal auditorium next Friday evening at concert given by the Arizona School of Music.

NORMAL TRACK TEAMS
 STATEMENT IN REPLY
Why It Does Not Accept the Challenge Of the High School and Why It Claims the Championship.

In answer to the challenge and ac- companying articles published by the Phoenix High school in the Phoenix papers, the Normal track team desires to submit the following answer: We do not "claim a tie:" we claim the Arizona track championship for l the following reasons: First: The tot al score of the three meets of team vs. team. is Normal 56A. 40. 63iz. or a total of 16e High school, 611a, 40, 541z or total of 156. This makes a grand total of 16O to 156 in favor of the Nor mal. Second: Championships are all ways determined h- the last meeting where series of contests is not pre- arranged. e. Nelson is champion over i Cans though previously defeated; the Chicago Cubs are the Worlds cham pion baseball team although previously defeated by the White Sox; the Phoe- nix High won last years track cham pionship though previously defeated by the Normal
 In proof of the foregoing points we quote the bill advertising the Thanks giving meet which was written and published by the High school man. agement:
 Final meet for the Championship between Tempe Normal and Phoenix High School. The meet between these two teams Oct. 31st was won by Phoenix after a close and exciting con test-points stood 611z to 56lk. The second meet, Nov. 12th. resulted in a tie between these two schools: points 40 to 40"
 The challenge of the High school for another meeting is not accepted for the following reasons:
 First The Thanksgiving meet was arranged and advertised as the Final Meet.
 Second. Weather conditions and other athletics interfere with training.
 Third. The sentiment of the Normal team Is that they do not care again to meet a team which harbors a Univer- sity of Colorado champion, (Stroud), and a post graduate student, (Thomp- son)
 As to the High school claim that they would have won with competent off cials it may be said that they selected all of the officials including Prof. Nevi- son and Dr. Redewill, two of the best posted men in the territory on track athletics. The officials were unani- nous concerning Halm's foul If this is "habit of his' what was the proper score ot the other meets?
 We appreciate the sportmanship and the ability of the High school team. This article includes all we have to say and is our final statement.

 0F WARD OFFICERS
Reports As to the Condition of the Church of Latter Day Saints.

The first session of the quarterly conference of the Church of Latter Day Saints in Maricopa stake was held yesterday morning in the Taber- nacle. The reports of the conditions of the different offices of the church occupying the first part of the session. President LeSueur reported on the condition of the stake, which now con- tains over 1700 members of the church. H. S. Phelps made statement of the condition of the high council and high priest quorum. and T. E. Pomeroy of the quorum of the seventies. Bishop Horn reported for the Mesa ward and Bishop Rogers for the Papago ward. The latter ward has made much ad- vancement religiously.
 The address of the. meeting was de- livered by Elder McMurrin of Salt Lake City, the theme being the Spirit of God. In his remarks the speaker said: That we follow the things we love; that if we possessed the spirit we would be found working for it. and in being harmony with 1t; that the lack of it's possession was always evil denced bv our works.
 The apostles after the savior had left them in bodily form never missed an opportunity to tell all whom they met of the wonderful works and the mission and power of Christ.
 It Is in this relation that the Nor mon elders of this day and age are constantly reminded of the prophet Joseph Smith. There is an erroneous impression held by many that because of this he is put before the savior, but this is not true. As Joseph Smith is rated with the other great prophets of the Bible
