THEY SOLD LIQUOR
 ID AGENCY INDIANS
A Couple of Mexicans Were Landed in the City Jail.

City Marshal Peterson is In posses sion Of a couple of Mexicans who sold liquor to Indians on the Fourth. The marshal has communicated with the authorities at the capitol with refer ence to the prisoners but so far he has not been definitely advised as to the disposition of them.
 They will have to be prosecuted. if at all. under the federal law and it is doubtful whether the marshal would be allowed his expenses in transporting the prisoners to the capitol without express directions from the office of the United States marshal.
 The evidence against the two men is said to be conclusive. Citizens here are deeply interested in the punishment of all persons who sell liquor to In dians. for it is only a month since this community was thrown into a state of horror at the crime committer by Sidney Smith. an Apache. while under the influence of liquor which had been sold to him by a Mexican who is now in jail.

THE COLISEUM BILL
 IS ALTOGETHER NEW
Cyclists Best in VaudevilIe-Reeves & Wood Have Received Much Recog- nition.

Every one of the new acts at the
 Coliseum last night were not only good, but fine They were not better than
 the bill of last week. for that would be
 almost impossible. but the new bill this
 week comprises class of acts alto
 gether different from the previous one.
 Reeves and Wood are to be cOngratu
 lated upon getting into Pantage's cir
 cult There are very few cities in the
 west that can boast of having week after week a hig grade bill that does
 not have something now ana then
 creep in to cause a blemish. Since the opening of the Coliseum Reeves and Wood have tried and been successful
 in not only keeping up to the high standard they set for themselves at the start, but have continually risen high CT and higher until. during the past few weeks. favorable comments are coming in from all over the southwest
 and even from Los Angeles.
 Scott and Whaiey. who put on the eccentric singing and dancing acts. are l certainly eccentric. and for singing and dancing the act is one continual round
 of melody and dythm, with now and | then something clever thrown in for | monologue in the way that only Scott and Whaley can deliver the goods. The moving pictures were better than usual, the illustrated songs in ! cluded. The orchestral work last night | seemed to lack in unity. and several numbers were massacred fearfully. The
 musicians, however. managed to gather
 themselves together before it became too raw.
 The whirling. wheeling comiques, Sig. and Edythe Franz, are the best that can be procured on the vaudeville cir 1 cults today and are worth twice the admission. To see them the specta- tor would think that riding on a wheel Is even easier than to perambulate Efforts had been made to retain this act and send it to Los Angeles for the Elk convention. but the early ''get-in" of Reeves and Wood made this im-
 possible.

OF BABIES IN CITIES HARD PRESSED NEW AND GREATER PROBLEM OF INFANT MORTALITY
 DURING MIDSUMMER. Municipal Appropriations and Dona- tions Sought for Germ Proof
 Milk Bottles.

Chicago, July 3.-(Special Cores pondence of The Republican.)-More babies. more heat, higher milk and higher costs for mere existence of parents this year have made the prob lem of the baby in Chicago. and pre- sumably other cities. more pressing than ever before. over acres of hot ten-ments and square miles of hud- dled homes the midsummer specter of the infant mortality has loomed up again, bigger than ever, demanding its solution or more baby sacrifices than ever.
 Free distribution of ice was begun several years ago. but it has been found that it only knicked the Sword Death swings almost mercifully. But when the ice box is merely rickety old pail or box. or the washtub or dishpan. a ten-pOund lump of ice doesn't last very long. The Infant Welfare committee of the United Charities was dismayed. The health departments last bulletin said: With the advent of hot weather comes the serious problem to many poor families of how to properly preserve the baby's milk Clean milk requires not only cold to preserve it, but very few poor families possess a refrigerator. The cost of an ordinary ice-boX and the expense of icing is really too great for many families
 The department describes how an ice-box could be made for small cost. but the settlement workers have tried , that and with encouragement from club women they have seized upon the so-called 'thermOs'' bottle, which by means of a vacuum keeps licuids at a fixed temperature, pointing out that . the free ice would be a hundred times as useful if it couldn't melt so soon as it does in tin pail on the windowsill of a Bunker-str tenement in a home made ice-box. This plan con templates a municipal appropriation for the Infant Welfare committee for the purchase of thermos bottles, to be

HA|RBREADTH HARRY'S
 VIEWS ON THE WEATHER
In Sympathy With Roosevelt as to Regulation and Moderation.

"T. Roosevelt and I came to the con clusion that regulation and moderation are necessary" remarked Hairbreadth Harry. as he dropped in for the usual chat last night
 "I can't say that T R is complying strictly with the rule. allowing that those hunting tales are true. But far be 1t from me to violate them.
 "Ordinarily favor patronizing home industry" continued Harry, but I cans quite reconcile myself to the way Professor Hotternhelski has treated us in the little matter of the weather. Now. I propose to send for my old friend, Mike, the Duck who has been handing out gentle zephyrs in Colo rado, to migrate forthwith to Arizona win his choicest brands of weather dope and win everlasting fame and gratitude.

 Harry was particularly cast down on account of having been a fraction of a second too late to save the young lady from the terrible accident at Center and Adams streets, which led him to make the parting remark that Mod eration in speed of some bicycle riders would be welcomed.

Wickenburg. July 6.(Special Cores pondence of The Republican.)-The last of the visitors who came here to spend the Fourth left on today's trains.

 A good crowd attended the second ball game with Parker. The game was more interesting and exciting than the first, as both sides did some excellent favor Of Parker.

SPIRIT OF INDEPENDENCE
 WAS FULLY AROUSED
Forty Arrests Made for Fighting and Drunkenness.

Constable Burton left this morning for the county jail with seven prison- CTS of the more than forty arrested yesterday afternoon, last night and this morning for fighting and drunk enness. IL was the intention of the au- thorities to wink as far as possible at ordinary infractiOns of the law, but Tn the afternoon there was so much abuse of the license which had been allowed that the officers were compelled to get busy. It is estimated that there were fifty fights in the course of the after noon and night. About twenty-five of the prisoners succeeded in raising the money for their fines. There are now ten or twelve more to be taken to jail.
 Officer Burton was taking no chances on the escape of any members of the contingent with which he left yester- day. Like the animals in the park. they marched two by two. securely an chored together with handcuffs. They were all MeXicans, but Mexicans did not enjoy a monopoly of all the dis turbances which were created.
 But, taking it altogether. the Fourth of July in Mesa was a day which will long be remembered with pride. It was much more successful, both in point of attendance and in the carrying out of the program. than the most sanguine of the managers had expected.
 The crowd was, in fact, so much larger than had been counted upon that the restaurants ran short of eatables long before everybody had been fed.
