COMBINED DESCRIPTION

An Entertainment at the Normal Fri day Evening Under the Auspices
 of the Seniors.

Next Friday evening at the Normal auditorium. Mir. Frederick w. Ban croft will give his combined lecture and concert under the auspices of the Normal senior class The entertain ment bears the combined titles. An Evening of old English Ballads: Irish Songs and Song Writers: Scottish Songs and Singers: Songs of Home and Country. Each lecture is made up of descriptive text embodying much painStal<inG research. and enlivened by an eager interest in the curious folk legends of the English speaking race. The illustrative songs add a surprising vividncss tc the lecture. and never fail in awakening the bearer tn cnthu- siasm. Mir. Bsncroft's fine tenor voice has not only the advantage of the most careful training. but it is entirely sym pathetic. and thus especially adapted to the ballad-that simple vet most eXacting form of musical expression His artistic power needs no praise among those who have listened to him: it is the worthy compliment of his literary skill and charm of narra ton.

'GO0O VIEW OF TEMPE
 WEST COAST MAGAZINE
The Cut is Used in the Illustration of
 an Arizona Article.

Russell Rabcr and Abe Shafer, two young men from Los Angeles spen Monday here in the interest of the West Coast magazine. The two gen tIemen are now making tour of the territory soliciting subscriptions foi the publication and are meeting with much success On Monday evening they left for Globe and will stop over enroute at Tucson and other main line points before working Globe. They ex- pect to return to the valley again either by way of Winkelman or Roose- welt.
 The west Coast" is from the press of the Grafton Publishing company ol Los Angeles and that it is distinctly friendly to the territory of Arizona is very evident from the leading article in the May issue. This issue is from the pen of John S. McGroarty and is entitled Arizona. New Star in the Flag" MT McGroarty was the Los Angeles Times representative on the chamber of commerce excursion q few weeks ago and what he saw of the territory at that time made a pro found impression on him. His article is the result of that impression and it is of nature that will do a great deal to controvert the false idea that prevails among eastern people as a rule regarding the territory. The arti- cle is well illustrated with views from different cities and towns of the ter ritGry and one of the best pictures of the whole series is three inch cut. across the top of two pages. giving an excellent panoramic view of Tempe and surrounding country. The publish CTS requested from the board of trade view of some sort for the illustra- tion of the article and the one used ir the issue was sent promptly. Though Tempe is referred to but briefly in the article. the picture is worth a good deal and tells d story all its own.

RAIN MUST FOLLOW
 SAYS WEATHER MAN

C. l.. Diehl, the local weather observ- CT. is responsible for the statement that the present torrid atmospheric conditions can result in but one one thing. and that is rain. It will be re- mem5ered that MT. Dichl gave out a forecast last week to the effect that it was sure to rain before Saturday on account of some change or particular slant of the moon. The local weather man above all else desires to make good. and hence the rains which he has promised us in the immediate future is in the shape of a substitute for those that did not matcrialize last week.
 The thermometer climbed out the upstairs window Monday and yester- day it sat perched out on the gable nearly all afternoon gasping for breath. With the mercury around IO5 straw hats came out with light ening like rapidity and the thirst par lors worked overtime. The local weather man never had a better chance than yesterday to prophecy rain and thereby make friends by the dozen.

\ BANQUET 0F . BUSINESS MEN Has Been Proposed By
 Board Of Trade THE FINANCE COMMITTEE Held Meeting Monday Ali ternoon and Mapped Out Campaign to Stir Up In terest- Banquet Will Be the First Move
THE FINANCE COMMITTEE

There is every indication that the ! board of trade is about to awake and get busy again after q rather prolonS- ed rest \ meeting of the finance com mittae was held Tuesday afternoon at the office of the secretary and several different matters were taken under consideration.
 This committee was appointed at the first meeting "f the new directors to devise q way uf raising money with which to carry out several advertising propositions tEc board has in view and to also plan some method of stimulat- ing the public interest in the organiza = ton and secure new members. Tn" only means of support that the board has is the sale of stock to new mem bers and the collection of dues from these members after the stock has been sold. The committee went over the books carefully. noting those wh" are in arrears in their dues and also made up list of citizens who should be members of the board. X cam paiGn of member getting and due col lecting will he started in the near fu- ture but before that time it is propos eu 10 get Ilt bl tpNH io gether for the purpose of talking things over in q sociable way.
 It has been suggested that a busi- ness mems banquet will best answer this purpose This is by no means a new idea with the board. \ similar suggestion was made just about a year ago and though the main idea was deviated from slightly. it resulted in the big basket picnic at the public school which was such pronounced success.
 The details of this banquet are vet to be worked out and special meet ing of the board will probably be call ed for that purpose early next week. It is proposed to have the banquet as soon in the future as possible and to have at if not less than a hundred Tempe citizens. Where and when it will be held and just how it will be financed. are details that are still to be worked out but announcement of all the particulars will be made in due time.

INVENTIONS THAT IMPRESSED.

Nadar. who has just died in Paris at the age of 92. published an account a few years back of the inventions which impressed him most profoundly be- tween his twelfth and his twentieth year. Apparently the minor inventions made the deepest impression on him. The opening of the first railway he hardly remembers. but the introduc- ton Of steel pens from England. which occurred in his thirteenth year. he re- calls vividly.
 When he grew older the introduction of detachable shirt collars marks an era Until the '30s shirts and collars were considered inseparable articles. The hosier who first sold them apart was welcomed as benefactor by young men who wished to look neat. hut were compelled by lack of means to keep their washing bills within careful bounds-London Chronicle.

A SUICIDE ATTEMPT It Was Within a HairSbreadth of Success WITHOUT TAXING THOUGHT William Burton Drew Razor Which By Accident Was
 in His Pocket, Across
 His Throat-His Expres-
 sion of Remorse
WITHOUT TAKING THOUGHT

] William Burton. after a talk with | his wife and q play with his 15- : months old child at the home of his [ wife's mother across the street from the tabernacle walked out the front gate Monday evening about sun down and deliberately pulling razor from his hip pocket and taking it in his right 1 hand cut his throat from q point under his right jaw to and across his Adams apple. missing the juslar vein but an [ eighth of an inch and exposing the walls of that important artery lead { ing from the heart. After commit ! ting the act he threw the razor q few feet from him and walked on north toward his home. but was picked up en route and taken to Dr Palmer's of- flee. where he was given medical atten- ton. He is now lying at the home of his parents. Mir. and Mrs. w. X. Bur ton. The wound is giving him con siderable pain. but it is stated that he ! is out of all danger and that i. will be matter of but few weeks until he will be well
 Filled with remOrSe and humiliation at the thought of attempting to take
 
 sentative of The Republican yesterday afternoon. The mans account of the whole affair Is as follows: T lad been shaving yesterday morning at my home and when through l started out of doors to wash my face and put the razor without thinking in my pocket. did not go to see my wife ard child with the intention of taking my life. I drank some whiskey in the morning and later in the day drank some beer. which was partly responsible for my act. but my quick temper had more to do with it than anything else. l had just left the place where my wife is living with her mother where I was playing with my baby and had gone about fifteen steps past the gate when the sudden thought struck me to cut my throat I felt the razor in my pockte and the rest was easy If had taken time to think I would not have done such thing. I am not saving that I am sorry that it was not a success. but l do not intend to do such q thing again When l get up from here I am going to leave Mesa and start out again. I'll tell you a fellow does not know just how it feels when he thinks that his life is slipping away as I did last night when the blood ran down my body until one trousers leg was par tially saturated
 The question was asked if it did not take a good deal of nerve to commit suicide. and to which was answered: There is no question about that. would not have the nerve to attempt it again. and wouldn't have done so this time if I had taken time to think what I Was doing"

INSURANCE INSPECTION CombustlbiIty of Mesa Being
 Looked Into MEANS 0F FIGHTING FIRE An Agent of Board of Un- derwriters Measuring the Thickness of Walls and Gathering Other Interest ing Data
MEANS OF FIGHTING FIRE

F.. H. Morris with the board of fire underwriters of the Pacific arrived in Mesa yesterday morning for the pur- pose of making q personal inspection of the building. both new and old. with d view of revising the plat of the town. which has become rather antiquated. IL is the business of Mir. Morris to determine the thickness of the walls, whether of cement or wooden floors. or whether of wooden or tin ceiling and from which he is able to classify the particular risk of par ticular building.
 Yesterday afternoon the fire depart ment made d test run for the purpose of giving further information to MT Morris so that he may include that also in his report. However. while the firemen were making their coup lings in good time there were other de- tails being observed by the inspector all of which will probably be included in the report
 It was the object of the fire depart ment that in making an exhibition of their speed and the water pressure, etc. that it would have tendency to
 
 but those things are not proIn- ised By Mr. Moorris nor will not be promised by any one until after the board of underwriters has all the in formation at hand, when they will make the decision. In. the establish in of rate practically everything has to be conducive to better. conditions. For instance. if a town has water works system furnishing good pressure. and q good fire department. and does not have an alarm system which is sufficient to notify the firemen of confIagration. that one thing will work against the lowering of the rates from the fact that an alarm is very neces- sary. in the successful fire fighting. and without it there is chance for a spread of the flames before the men who are in charge of the department are warned of their duty.
 Since the completion of the water works system. it has been felt that the insurance rates were too high in Mesa Tempe. which. by the way. has a system of which il can justly be proud. has lower rate than Mesa. or in other words, go per cent is added to book l rates. while the Mesa rate is 5O per cent added to book f. Phoe nix. of course. has q better rate still, which has been determined on account of the facilities for fighting fires and the manner of construction ofthe new c- buildings.
 The board of fire underwriters has jurisdiction in all states west of Coio- rado and including Alaska. They have in their office at all times complete information in detail of every town within their jurisdiction. and it is their business to fix fire insurance rates on every building within the. city limits of every town and every fire insurance company is controlled by those estab- lished rates.
