Is noticeable that almost everyone ex-

Oklahoma Girls Industrial School, that
here is just being completed a large
knitting mill costing sl50.O00; that

press and oil mill in the world, besides

covered with native grass and where

sary to call their attention to the fact
that in the vicinity OF Chickasha are
the most fertile farms in all Oklahoma.

Ludy has the distinction of having first drifted into Phoenix as the foreman of the mechanical department of the old Ari- zona ENpositor when, it was moved to Phoenix from Yuma back in 1879 or therabout. The rest of the force consisted of a Mexican boy who was hired on press days, as roller boy, to inks the forms when placed in the old Washington Armstrong press. He was not the earliest printer in Phoenix by any means as the Phoenix Herald had been established by Charlie McClin- took, brother of the present Phoenix postmaster. a year or two before, but when one speaks of Ludy's advent he is getting back mighty near to the primeval days of the printing business in these parts. Whether Ludy has changed his habits in recent years was not learned but in the older days he boasted that it was against his prin- ciples to ride into any town. If a train or a vehicle chanced to be going his way he would not object to a lift over the desert but when he got near town he climbed down and took to the road in the time hOnored fashion of the journeylhan.

THE NEWsBoYs' PIcNlc-Th,

THE NEWSBoYs' PIcNIc-The picnic of The Republicans newsboys yesterday was a glittering success and F. Grant Smith, superintendent of circulation. who had charge of the wild bunch, returned home feeling very much of a kid himself The picnic party before it started dwindled down to twenty-five or thirty. as about fifteen of the youngsters went to the depot to sell papers to the excursionists and made so much mon ey they joined the crowd and went along. But the rest of them had equally as good a time, perhaps a better one, and enjoyed their day afield as much as a bunch of young coyotes would after close confinement for a month. They invaded the Cam elback country and somewhere out there found the, ruins of an old house with a cook stove still standing in it, which was used for preparing their picnic meal The birds spoiled on the manager and he had to resort to the butcher shop for supplies but be- fore he returned every kid had a DOT terhouse lining in his stomach and the area between walls was filled with pies, lemonade and all other in digestible stuff the youngsters are so fond eff. They ate all they want ed, drank all the lemonade they could and then bathed in the rest of it. They had pie races and pie fights and kept up the latter until they re- turned home, covered with pie inside and out They also took possession of one of the canals and had a contest to see which one could go in swim ming tEe most times in one day. It was dead heat for they we"u aii in and cut all day long.
 LAST OF JOHN L. SULLIVAN The farewell appearance of John L. Sullivan met a record breaking house at the Coliseum last evening. Not only was the house itself packed, jammed and crammed with humanity hungry for amusement, but for half a block from the Coliseum the crowd stood waiting Miss Christe Dene, in her Losserella dance, which resembles the famous grace dance, Salome, is the classiest extravaganza of it's kind ever introduced in Phoenix. The lover of beauty, grace and rhythm, cannot afford to miss this number. The foreign high class tumbling at traction by the Belfonts is altogether different from anything ever brought to the coast. Those who do net be- lieve that a woman can be dainty, at tractive and at the same time pos sessed with strength greater than the average man, should go to the Coli scum before passing judgment. The whole bill was better than has ever been placed on the Coliseum boards.
