of them not even that. Upon that
one feature it has been the Gus
tom to center all their advertis-
ing energy, looking to it for their
reputation. Ringing Bros. have
no less than seven big sensation
al acts, any one of which is a big
ger surprise than all the otheT
shows have ever sprung. The rest
of the long program is in keep
ing with these thrillers, and the
artistic and finished aspect OF
everything that pertains to the
show is something to be noted
only with the Ringlings.
The foreign agents of the
show were unusually busy last
winter, and the result is a Euro
pean program of great strength
and novel interest. Nothing was
imported that has any resenl-
blance to acts that have been
seen on this side the Atlantic, and
great diligence was used IN
searching out novelties.
The same program that was
presented in New York on the
opening night of the show will he
given here, not detail being mis-
sing. The operate concert viii
preceded the regular ring pro-
gram, all of the menagerie viii! be
displayed and the parade will be
the same.

Interesting Comments and Points
by Our Regular Correspond
ent.

Hiram Threlkeld says that a
boys first cigar and his first case
of love are usually pretty sickcn-
ing.
James billiard believes a horse
thief and bank thief nearly al
ways get caught, but a chicken
thief gets away with the goods.
Arthur Dicus has become quite
interested in bee culture as
side line to farming. Truly he is
the bee man of the Valley.
Yes, did you ever think, the
most successful man in the poul-
try business is nearly always
woman.
Will Crews says it s better TO be
the right woman's man, than to
be a woman s right man.
Yes, we hear many cOmpli-
mentary remarks said of the Mes
sage, such as cit is the cleanest,
the brightest, the best newspaper
published in the best county in
the state"
Mr.. Editor, we rise to our feet
with hat off to second your mo.
ton for a new county farm build
ing. The Savior taught us that
the poor we would always have
with us. Then let us build The
very best fire proof county in
Urinary in the state and retain
what land we have and if need
be acquire more. Work it with
the able bodied, and under wise
and competent supervision it
cannot only be made self sustain
ing but source of revenue to the
county.
Proposition 2nd. We object to
being taxed for the building of
a new jail. Let the county scat
(MexicO) follow the good OK
ample set by the county and
vote out those relics of the dark
past and make the county seat a
safe place in which to live and
raise a family and we will
not need a new jail; none to
put there. There is one fixed and
irrevokable law that we shall
gather at the harvest what W.
sow. Sow saloons and reap drunk
s eness or drunkards. There can be
e no permanent greatness to
town, city or nation except based
on morality. Sometimes educated
sharks lead us in the wrong iii
rectiOn. AS a matter of fact, al
most all crimes committed know
to our laws have been done while
under the influence of drink. Oul
U jails and our prisons are fillet
u because of drunkenness. Do ava!
: with the saloon and thousands o
homes in our cities will no lOnge,
be filled with desolation. Yes
the wailings of poverty, will
be no longer heard. Mr.. Editor
= may l add, is it any wonder Coo
says through his word to his peo
pie, touch not, taste not, handl
not. Let us hear no more of poo

.POsTMAsTERS MET
 AND TALKED SHOP
Annual Convention Began Yesterday,
 Ends This Morning.

The postmasters of Arizona who are erstwhile Phoenix visitors met yester- day morning at 9 o'clock in the rooms of the Christian Science church, for the purpose of holding the postmasters' annual convection. Col J. H. McClin- tock. president of the association called the meeting to order. the secretary be- ing J. oscar Mullen of Tempe.
 The two principal papers read were one on postoffice equipment. by Post master Smith of Williams and one on postal savings banks by B. NJ. Cassidy. postmaster Of Bisbee.
 Discussion of the first question de- veloped the fact that the general move ment for better postoffice equipment. on the part of the department. had in some way passed over the heads of the smaller presidential offices. It was de- termined to make a strong pull for a betterment in that direction.
 In the discussion of the postal say ings bank idea there was a general unanimity of opinion that the idea is fine on but that the text of the Carter bill now before congress is not the needed measure. It is condemned on the ground that it is too cumber- some and intricate in it's provisions and that some simpler plan can be de- ViSed
 The association will meet again this moTning at 10 o'clock for a final ses sion.
