 The accident occurred in front of the residence of H II. McNcil about seven o'clock DTS. l.. n. Dameron and F. q. AnGeny were summoned and Fannin removed tu Dr. Angeny's private hos pital. IL was at first reported that Fannin had been killed and quite q crowd gathered at the scene of the ac- CidenU. When the physicians arrived hypodermcs were given and Fannin revived sufficiently to tell his name It was found that he Was not seriously injured.

ADJUSTMENTS
COILS BUM.

The two performances were greeted last night with two packed houses and great applause The Ardell brothers perform d very fine gymnastic act, and are without doubt the cleverest team of their kind seen in the city. They will change their act tonight to an entirely different turn. and judging from the manner they presented their first act this will be well worth coming out to see. The Kalmos. the international dancers. went better than the first part of the week. and all that see them are mystifiCd as to how the change of cos tune is made so quickly. as on their leaving the stage they appear again in an instant with an entirely new cos tune. Their different dances were greeted with many enCores. In addi- ton to the above an excellent picture program was given, and all in all the bill was a very good one The man agement states that it has booked for next week three acts consisting of F. R. Keith, the clever backface Billiken. and Berling and Urban in very pleas ing dancing act that comes highly recommended and it has also booked was billed here d week or so ago and was delayed in opening. It was delayed d few weeks before being able to play the Coliseum owing to other engage ments, but will he here on Tuesday night and will present d twenty minute farce entitled Why He Reformed" The management feels very enthusi- astic over it's show for next week. and that it will have one of the very best vaudeville bills ever offered the Phoe- nix public at popular prices.

THE WICWAM

The management of this popular theater announces that beginning this evening they will change the policy of their house in that no vaudeville will be shown, the reason given being that it is difficult to depend on getting high class acts and to take just what is sent out to you does not meet with the approval of it's patrons For that reason only high class nov ing pictures and songs will be on the bill. More pictures will be shown than heretofore and two illustrated songs will be rendered during each performance, giving the picture lovers of Phoenix who will welcome the change a nice entertainment with no waits. The price of admission is also reduced to 10 cents to any part of the house. It is the policy of this theater to make the Wigwam strictly a family theater.

| SCHOOL ELECTION 4 MONOTONOUS AFFAIR
Only One EnliVenirg Incident in the District Vote and None at all
 in High School Election. {:

Tn" school election in Phoenix passed off very quietly and resulted in d walk away for w. C. Tolleson for trustee of district No. l. while for high school directors there were not enough votes cast to hardly give the event recog- nition and they were all one way.
 For district No 1 Mir Tolleson was practically the only candidate until afternoon. Some interest had been talk en by his friends and a very respect able number Of votes was east for him during the forenoon. but there was no effort to get out vote, as it was un- derstOod that John T Dunlap. who was the only candidate announced against him. had withdrawn his name before the polls opened. In the afternoon, however. it developed that there was an organized movement in evidence representing that element opposed to segregation Of, the COlored children from the white children in the public school That element brought forth the name of J. H. Kinney as its cham piOn and boiled a gOOdly number of votes late in the day It is understood the incident so far as MT Kinney is concerned was merely a demonstration of his popularity. as he had not been candidate. did not seek the office and for that matter had not given his consent to the use of his name. The result of the voting was: Tolleson. $50: Kinney. SO. Dunlap. 8
 The high school election board had a drcary time of it. and was glad when it was all over. The best they could show for their days work was a total of 26 votes and all of them were for the reelection of E. F. McFarl and J. T. Bone. There are seven or eight rural districts also in the high school district and no returns were heard from them last night The names of no other candidates were learned and it is supposed that Messrs. McFall and Bone have been chosen.

itor by large margin. He has bought
his stock cheaper, and he does not
have the freight from Chicago to Iowa
to pay, as his Chicago competitor has.
Hence he ought to give the state Of
Iowa the benefit, or part Of it at least.
But does he? Not so anyone can
notice it. He sells for the same prices
his competitors sell at. Then why
should the farmers OF Iowa be mulcted
the thousands and probably hundreds
of thousands Of dollars a year they are
mulcted, thru discriminating freight
rates under the guise of encouraging
Iowa packing houses. Is it to give
employment to the men engaged in the
packing houses? In that case it were
better. to pension them, as there are
probab not over 5000 the whole state
over.
No, there is no good reason why the
farmers and the consumers should be
obliged to go down in their pockets and
help support the Iowa packing houses.
The freight rates for Chicago ship
ments and for Iowa shipments, should
be equitable But that means to not
only not favor Chicago packers but
to not favor Iowa packers.
