CENTER STREET BONUS
 READY TO BE PAID
It Will Be in the County Treasury
 Before the Contract Is Let '~

To the Editor of The Republican,:
 Sir-In The Republican of May 27, Mir. James c. Goodwin, in a lengthy article, questions the genuineness of the s5O,OOO bonus to be raised for the Center street bridge.
 In reply. we beg to state very brief ly, that this bonus of $50,00O. should the board of supervisors so desire. will be turned over to them in cash before the contract is let for the bridge.
 The committee in charge of raising this bonus has been most active, and that there might be no possible un- certainty about it, began several weeks since to get the various bonuses pledged in the shape of bankable notes. These notes are coming in daily, and practically 75 per cent of the $5O,0OO is already definitely raised in this man. ner. The notes are being made paya- ble by the subscribers to the bank with which they do business, as trustee
 Five thousand dollars has already been definitely apportioned by the United States government, and the bonus is absolutely and certainly as- sured beyond the slightest question. CENTER STREET BRIDGE PUB

ATTEMPTED
 COMPROMISE. Who is to Blame For the
 Prevalent IRhaPmOny CENTER ST. COMMITTEE
Describes the Efforts Made to
 Bring the North and South
 Sides Together on a Two Bridge Proposition.
To the Editor of The Republican,:

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Jay Blount, writing in support of the Tempe bridge, makes the assertion that Tempe proposed, in the interest of harmony, that two bridges be built, and the citizens of Phoenix rejected the proposition. Now, let us see what the facts are in the case.
 Earnest efforts were made during the month of March, both at the legis lature and later at sundry conferences, to bring about harmony of action be- tween Phoenix and Tempe on the question of the bridge across the Salt river at Center street Finally a com mittee was appointed consisting of Messrs. Ainsworth, Chalmers and Fow- Ter. representing Phoenix, and Messrs. Cook, Woolf and Harris, representing Tempe. This committee met on the afternoon of Thursday, April 1, in the office of L. H. Chalmers, and after full, frank and free discussion of the subject, and several efforts at draw ing up a paper embodying the views of all, an agreement was finally reach ed that would use their best efforts among their friends to secure their votes in favor of a bridge both at Tempe and at the foot of Center street. The agreement read like this:

 The marshal obtained the clue that led to the mems arrest by first gather ing in Charles Johnson on suspicion.
 The men did not deny their com plicity in the fracas that terminated with the serious wounding of Will Hams. Both men gave their side of the story, but said it was free fight and that the-- acted in self-defense. Which of them did the actual stabbing was not divulged. They were both released on their own recognizance and it is understood that the plea of self defense will be used when they are brought up for trial.

Pacific coast the idea of benevolence.

ism toward the government of the

So said Carroll Cook.
RAIDS ON THE CLUB
The petition states that eight mem
bers of the club were arrested in the
clubrooms on the night of April 30
They were given their liberty the fol-
lowing morning in the police court
when their cases came to trial. A
second raid was made on the club
rooms by the police three days later
The rooms were deserted when the
doors were forced.
Judge Van Fleet set Monday, April

time for the defendants to show cause
why temporary injunction should not

CALL ON BANKS FOR
 RETURN OF FUNDS

Washington, June 30-A call on national depository banks for return to the treasury of government funds aggregating about $95,000000 was made yesterday by Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh Of this amount s9 900 has been called for July 15 and s16,OOo 600 for August 15
 Balances in all active Repositories are uniformly reduced to the lowest amount which the daily needs of the government will permit
 This call will practically wipe out all of the deposits of government funds in national banks subject to check by the treasury except about s37,000.000 which is held in active account and account to meet checks of government disbursing off, ficers and sl,000,000 which will be all lowed to remain in 5000 lots in such of the 1000 smaller national banks as desire to retain designation as national bank de- positories
 The working balance today is more than 100000, which will be increased by the call to approximately s8S, ,000 900. The low state of the government working balance made its strengthening a necessity, and thus augmented the treasury department will have ample funds for at least some months.
 It Is expected, however, that before the coming December an additional issue of Panama bonds or the further issue of treasury receipts of Indebtedness will be found necessary.

 There was litter from all the older members of the coterie at the little brides recital of her woes and we spent joyous hour or two more hearing of this dear moon loving husband who blandly walks in at o'clock and inquires anxiously ''Is dinner ready?" and of another who appears when the family Is gathered around the festal board and exclaims, puljng out his watch, Heavens! 1t surely can't be as late at thatr' much to the disgust of every one present, and many more types.
 Perhaps there be those who will say;

By DOLLY DALRYMPLE.

"Punctuality is the stern virtue of men of business and the grateful courtesy of princes" said our friend Bulwer in his most readable of books, My Novel"
 So far so good, but he had nothing whatever to say about punctuality, when it came to social affairs, and particularly to the every day domestic environments which poster and harass a woman nearly to death, when everything doesn't move on railroad time
 In group of women recently this sub ject came up for reflection and discus sion, and I was amazed to hea1 the per- sonal experiences of nearly every one of those present. co-incident with the fact that as far as they knew not man of their acquaintance knew the meaning of the word punctuality, neither husbands, sweethearts or sons.
 These friends who had assembled in congress to talk over the idiosyncracies Of their masculine relatives and friends conceded them many virtues, but pune tuality did not appear on the list. There were many sad sad tales related of the dire domestic tragedies which have re- suited from this lack of appreciation of time, and among other things one very pretty woman said
 .'rhe next time I marry I am going to wed a man that can't be persuaded to be late at his meals, that regards social en- gagement as binding as the marriage con- tract and that wouldn't dsappoint his wife in this respect if he had to break a bank or rob an express train.'
 "Why all this, these resolutions?' asked another member of the party
 Simply because of the most tiresome and harassing experience l had few days ago." was the reply. Tt happened this way: very fooishly permitted my husband to invite perfect stranger from New York to come in and dine with us. Instead of writing him note, as should have done, I allowed Augustus to ask him very informally. And so it fell out that
