Captain Beat.y's Terrible Death.

Capt. j. G.. Beatty, one of the mCss
widely known promoters on the Pacific
coast, met horrible fate recently ,hav.
ing been scaldel 10 death in botel in
Denver. The circumstances as furn.
ished this paper were these:
| Captain Beatty arrived in the morn
ing and secured u room IN the Brown
Palace Hotel. \ few hours later a
friend called, having an appointment
with the captain. On going to his
room there was no response to knock
on the door, 30 the caller, thinking
Captain Beatty was sleeping and not
wishing to disturb him, left and said be
would come back in the afternoon, He
returned about , O'clock and found the
captains door still locked. Some
alarm was caused by this fact and it
was decided to force the door open,
which was done. The friend of Captain
Beatty accompanied by the hotel clerk
entered the room, and finding no one
went on into the bathroom adjoining,
where they found Captain Beatty liter
ally boiled, in the bath-tub, which was
filed with scalding hot water. The
suppositiOn was that be had turned on
the hot water while in the bath, and
being an aged man was overcome be-
fore he could turn il off, and so was
scalded TO death.
Captain Beatty was we'll known in
Yuma, having some years ago beeu as
ISOLATED with Hon. Geo. w. Norton,
present member of the legislature, in
the promotion Of what is now known
as the Imperial canal system. The
scheme, however, as originated by
Col. Norton, was to divert the water at
the exact point where the Laguua dam
is now being constructed.
Captain Beatty ut different me has
been the moving spirit of many large
enterprises. but few of them have ever
''rnaterialized." He once secured and
negotiated the sale of large tract of
land in Mexico, and was once owner of
the Senator mine in the Picacho dis
trict. San Diego county. and was sup
posed to have made good deal Of
money out Of his ventures. but as he
was 'piunger" and liberal spender,
there was probably not much left at
his death. He was over 20 years old.

LEGISLATIVE GUESTS
 ARE COMING TODAY
Most of Them Will Be Over on the
 Noon Train.

This will be day of some impor- tance to Tempe, for it Is not often that a town the size of this is honored with the presence of the members of the legislature. However, such is the case here today. Nearly all the members of that law making body have signi- fled their intention of being here today as the guests of the citizens of Tempe and the baseball team of the Normal. Some of the party will arrive on the morning train, but the larger party will come over at noon. A luncheon will be served at the Casa Loma to the visitors and in the afternoon they will attend the baseball game at the Normal, though just which side they will root for is a debatable question. However, being the guests in part of the Normal team, it Is quite probable that as a matter of courtesy the home team will be given the benefit of the support of the visiting gentlemen.
 The party will spend the greater part of the day here looking over the town and surrounding country and win re- turn to Phoenix on the afternoon train at o'clock.

With the enlarging of the building a large stock of drugs, as well as all the gen eral stock carried by an up-to-date concern. will be added. Not. only is there to be large sundry stock. but a candy factory is to be installed whereby the firm will manufacture their own candies for the wholesale as we'll as the retail trade.

THE FOREMAN MEETINGS
 ATTRACT GOOD CROWDS
The Change From Church to Opera House Adds to the Attendance.

The change of the Forman revival to the Goodwin opera house has proved to be splendid move Last nights audience could not have been packed into the church and the big chorus, though not full grown yet, appeared to good advantage.
 Mrs. Forman's children's meeting was held at p. m- These meetings are resulting in a large attendance of the children at the night services and a chiidren's choir is being developed. Let more of them come.
 No services today. Sunday morning all the churches will hold usual serv- ices and there will be a big union meet ing in the opera house Sunday even ing. At last nights service Mrs. wm. Goodwin sang a beautiful selection. MT. Forman spoke from Amos 4:12, Prepare to Meet Thy God" The sub- ject is universal in its application, for preparation is necessary before any of us can stand in the presence of God We read in Romans that there is no difference. flor all have sinned and some short of the glory of God" Why must we prepare? Because God says PiSpdio, did dBdlD preparation IS nec- essary in order to shun hell Every person outside Of Jesus Christ is un- der condemnation and the wrath of God abides upon him. You say you don't believe in a hell. Your belief. friend, does not change the fact God tells us in Matt. 18th that they shall go away into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels" Then hell is a place prepared for Satan and not for human beings. and if you go there you will be out of. place. You say you don't believe hell is a place of literal fire. Taking it for granted that it is figuratiye. does not the fig ure describe a more terrible place than literal words? Sufficient to know that it is place of torment. You make preparation to receive your friend, to meet a judge or governor. but greater than the governor is here. the dearest friend on earth.

BURIED BY A HAY STACK.

A rather unusual incident occurred on the Olesen ranch day before yes terday that illustrates how hard it is to kill some things. In this case 1t was a yearling calf. Some time ago c. R. Finch purchased stack of hay from Mir Olesen but two days before he started hauling it to town it top pied over. the cattle having eaten the hay out under one side.
 When the men were engaged in load ing a wagon. to their intense surprise they uncovered the calf. The animal was still alive and when taken out of its bed of hay walked over to a ditch, got a drink and went to feeding again It looked little the worse for the experience. but it will probably be in good shape in day or two It had been buried not less than forty-eight hours, and possibly longer.

IT HAPPENED TO JONES.
A RolIiekins Good Comedy Turned Loose at the Mesa Opera House
 Last Night.

Everything. or at least everything that could possibly evolute from the fertile brain of a play writer, was heaped upon the shoulders of the long suffering Jones last night at the Mesa opera house in the comedy entitled What Happened to Jones'" The house, which was above the average for amateur productions, was appre- ciative from the start, and the mem bers of the cast, as we'll as the NJ l. A society, have reason to feel that they have made success of the production.
 An old professor is enticed by son. Richard. to attend a prize fight The participants in the fight and all the onlookers are arrested, which is the beginning of the reign of Jones, who was also presnt at the fistic encounter. One ridiculous situation follows an- other. in which Jones gets away with a brand new suit of clothes belonging to bishop, and finally gets the re- fusal of an old maid.
 The play went off with a swing. with all gaps between acts filled in with specialties. F. T. Pomeroy as Jones. the everlastingly- -at-it book agent, in the lead, acquitted himself in "a creditable manner. His part re- quired snap and quick action and he proved equal to the occasion.
 The following is the cast of charac- ters:
 Jones-F. T Pomeroy.
 Professor-C NJ. Brimhall.
 Richard-Joe Noble
 Bishop-W Aird Macdonald
 Indian-A. F. Spencer
 Policeman-L. R. Gibbons.
 Mrs. Goodly-Eliza Openshaw.
 Sissy-Leo Allen.
 Alvina-Louie Felton.
 Margerie-Lorena Passey.
 Minerva-Nell LeSeur.
 Heima-Francelle Pomeroy
 The entire cast interpreted their lines in splendid manner and each is deserving of considerable praise. The specialties by little Pearl Felton and Frank aCssidy were meritorious and were heartily responded
 The success of the performance. of a considerable amount of 1t at least. is due to the untiring efforts of Mrs. A. B. Cook. She has had charge of the stage work. and the putting on of the play has been under her direct supervision. James Miller as business manager has also been an important factor and has offered valuable sug-. gestions at various times

THE NEW CANAL IS NOW ASSURED
CONTRACT SIGNED YESTERDAY
 FOR THE NEW HIGHLAND.
The New Waterway Will Cost Ap.
 proximateIy $63ooo.

After considerable delay and more or less discouraging conditions, the landowners under what is to be known as the New Eastern canal have at last come to realization of all their hopes, for the contract which guaran- tees the completion of the waterway was signed at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon between the Highland Canal Construction company and T. w. Smith and others of Phoenix. Another important detail Is that work is to commence at the head within a very few days and Is to be completed with in a date no later than November 1, 1909. This will insure the ranchers ample time to get their land in condi tion for the fall crops, and it will be the occasion for considerable rejoicing.
 The new canal is to be constructed at cost of approximately s63,000. which is to be paid by the govern ment in the regular way. However. the land owners have raised a bonus of Sl3,00Q, which Is an addition to the above sum, but 1t Is a guarantee of the interest on the amount invested by the contractors until they can get their pay from the government.
 T. ". Smith. as well as the gentle men interested with him in the work, are all owners of land under the canal.
 The idea of the contractors is to commence at the head and excavate southward. allowing the water to fol- low them. They will do this so as to be able to use the water for their stock as well as to moisten the soil. It has not been given out officially, but it is supposed that they will sub contract divisions of the new water way. The canal will bring upwards of fifteen thousand acres of land under irrigation.

THE MAKING OF \ MINE.

Work continues uhabated on the properties of the Arizona -Bouse Cop per Company at Bouse. Since our last announcement the force of men at work has been increased and a Fair banks Morse gasoline hoist has been purchasd and is now installed on the Little Butte shaft. This shaft is being sunk rapidly and drifting continues in both directions. The full face of the drifts and the bottom of the shaft are in ore so that no waste rock need be handled. The ore is being piled up on the dump and as it averages 10 to 13 per cent copper, and $S to $1o gold. it will yield a handsome return to the company in a short time. The cars l. already shipped have netted over s7O0, after paying the freight and smelter charges. --.1---s--
 HOW TO GET INTO COPPER.
 The time to make money ii, copper is between organization and dividends. Before dividends are declared the price of stock is invariably below par. after dividends. usually much above par. The man who has million to invest can afford to buy mine after it has become dividend payer and often waits until then. The man of moderate means can not afford to buy at the top-notch price. He CAN af-; ford to buy stock at the organization. price. His enterprise, his judgment and his faith count for as much as his subscription.
 For few days the price of the Ari-r zona -Bouse Copper Company stock re- mains at 15 cents. It will be to your advantage to secure the benefit of the pre- organization price as the stock will certainly advance rapidly.
