4 DAMAGE SUIT
 FOR 4 BURIAL BOX
A Peculiar Action Begun Yesterday
 By E. E. Bridgeman.

E. E. Bridgeman yesterday filed suit against Easterling & Whitney asking damages in the sum of $5,0OO. The claim is based on the fact that Mrs. Bridgeman died in Los Angeles on July 3, and the body was shipped to Phoenix in a metal lined caSket, being inferred here by defendants who were paid for their services. The ground for action being fufther set forth in the following two sections of the complaint:
 That defendant secretly and fraud ulently, without the knowledge of affiant, while said casket and box were in their charge as aforesaid, removed the, casket containing the body of deceased, from said metal lined box, and embedded same by ap- propriating it to their own use and substituting in its place a cheap, plain,- pine box. the top covered with cloth and so buried the body of de- ceased.
 Plaintiff further states that sub sequently acting on an intuition that said defendants had changed the box enclosing the casket, he went to the grave of the deceased and eXcavated at the foot of same down to the en- closing box and found same to be simply an ordinary pine box. There

YAVbPAI PROUD IF
 E|GHT POUND POTATO
But Maricopa Can Tell of a Tuber Grown at Mesa Almost Three
 Times As Heavy.

Yavapai county is going to send an eight-pOund sweet potato to the ter ritorial fair and expects the tuber to startle the world. But there are old timers in the Salt River valley who will demand more than an eight pound sweet potato before they get excited
 Here is what the Prescott Journal Miner says about that Yavapai pota- to: Yesterday D. Levy & Company received from a farmer two miles south of Mayer, what is believed to be the largest sweet potato ever grown in this or any other country. It weighed an even eight pounds, and is as perfectly formed as though of nor nal size. It will be sent as an exhibit to the Territorial Fair at Phoenix
 This massive growth was viewed yesterday by hundreds of people and excited the admiration of every one, no such size or weight ever having { been known until this freak was re- ceived in a special box, along with others of the same variety The name of the owner of the farm where this prize tuber was raised was not learned. The firm will keep the pota- to on exhibition until it is sent to the fair
 Several years ago a farmer living south of Mesa brought to the Phoenix board of trade a yellow yam that weighed 23 pounds. Ten-pOund sweet potatoes are by no means uncommon in this valley.

FEEL LIKE GIVING UP?

Dark days come when the kidneys are sick. A bad back makes you miserable all the time.
 You awake tired. lame and sore. It is a task to get dressed. It hurts so to bend over. It is agony to straight en up again.
 All day the dull, throbbing ache keeps up, varied with stabs of pierc- ing pain when you twist or turn; whirling dizzy spells, specks and spots dancing before the eyes, miser- able headaches and deadtired or languid feeling.
 You have no appetite for meals, can't work, can't rest, and are an noyed with too frequent urination, and a burning scalding pain in mak- ing passages.
 At night the suffer retires. hop ing for sleep that either does not come, or is troubled and fitful Sev- eral times during the night you awake with a desire to urinate.

A DISCERNING BOY.

Big Bilf Edwards New York's her culean street cleaning commissioner, was being congratulated on the prompt bravery wherewith he captured the man who shot Mayor GaynOr.
 You are so mild and jOcular." the reporter said. "one would hardly sus- pect your fire eating qualities"
 "Oh. yes. Pm very mild.g- said Mir Edwards: and he added, mOdestly an- xious to change the subject:
 T believe in mildness. I'm not like the Exeter boy.
 "A teacher in Exeter said to one of his pupils in the course of a lecture on popularity:
 Now, SchermerhOrn, if you are kind and polite and forgiving to all your playmates. what will happen"

was no metal lining therein, nor on tween the box and lid any rubber whatever"
 An earlier paragraph of the com plaint describing the original box mentions the rubber placed between the lid and the box proper as an in surance of it's being air tight.
 An interesting feature of the case is only hinted at in the complaint where it says the plaintiff had an intuition" that the box was ex- changed It is learned from others that MT. Bridgeman explaining that intuition, ayers that for three con secutive nights his wife appeared be- fore him in a vision, or dream, and imparted the information that the box had been stolen.
 An inquiry regarding this extraor- dinary action, perhaps the first, like it, in the history of the world, brought out the fact that it had been brewing for a week though the burial took
 place several weeks ago. The defend ants were not long ago informed that
 the plaintiff was threatening action 3Z0UU anu ItCcHllN lilcTt WdS d suggestion for a compromise for $500 which the defendants declined. It was stated that the metal-lined
 box in question was a zinc lined box for which the plaintiff paid s20 in Los Angeles It is not the practice to use these boxes in the burial of bodies which have been shipped in them and according to custom, there was sub- stituted for this one the usual wooden box into which the casket was low cred The two boxes were not alike
 in outward appearance and it was supposed by the man who had charge of the burial that the plaintiff and all others who had seen the former box ! would have known that the substi- tuition had been made.
 The price of the wooden box was $5; the services of the defendants
 were charged for at s2O and from the aggregate, there was deducted the
 price of the zinc-lined box which has ever since been in the warehouse of
 the undertakers and has never been used.

DOES ANYBODY WANT
 ID BUY A CAMEL !? PART OF NAT REIss CARNIVAL OUTFIT SOON TO BE SOLD Does Not Include Ossified Man, Roaring Lion or Gay
 Paree Girls

Who wants to buy a camel? One camel or up to four camels? Camels so gentle that they will eat out of a childs hand or take their owner for a jaunt down town or into the coun- try and land him safely at the start ing point. Any person seeking such an opportunity will find just what he is looking for in a few days, or to be more precise on Saturday morning, November 10, when R. J. Dobbs. manager of the Lightning De- livery Transfer and Storage com pany, will offer for sale four Si- berian camels. left here by Nat Reiss, when that carnival promoter turned his attention to aviation meets and temporarily abandoned the carnival business.
 That was nearly seven months ago and although Nat is now conduct ing a carnival down at Fort Worth. Texas. he has never reclaimed his property which he left in the care of the Lightning Delivery. The camels have gone right on eating their heads off and the carnival equipment remains as it was the day Reiss left town.
 Of course the ossified man nor the roaring lion, do not appear among the chattels nor do the girls who made the Gay Paree end of the car nival more than ordinarily popular. The average citizen would find lit tie use for an ossified man any how; there are some who might make occasional use of a snake charmer and a lion is not generally given the run of a home where there are small children. So these par ticular features of the defunct car nival will not be offered for sale.
 A perfectly good doll rack, the kind at which you throw a ball and receive a cigar every time you Init the baby" will no doubt be snapped up by some inveterate smoker. It remains to be seen who will find a use for the tents, seats, trunks and

 There is a growing sentiment in favor of inducing some night hack man to buy the camels and hitch them to his conveyance, There is little doubt but that his patronage would speedily increase. A belat ed citizen. who had been sitting up with a sick friend or attending directors meeting would appreci ate the quietness with which the soft-fotted camel moves along a hard pavement in approaching a mans home Others would be glad to pick up an acquaintance with an animal that can go eight days without a drink, in an effort to accustom them selves to the weekly dry period
 Two men who are promoting what promises to be a successful mining venture remarked yesterday that they might be induced to buy the camels and use them in packing sup plies to their mines, thereby adding another unique feature to their all ready ch-heralded proposition They believe it would sound quite classy to announce that they were employing the only camels in Ari- zena engaged in such work.
 The wishes of the camels have not been consulted. possibly not even considered, and the peaceful quar- tette of ships of the desert is

MARICOPA COUNTS
 EXHIBIT AT THE FAIR Board of Trade Intends That 1t Shall Be a Big One and Good
 One, Too

Various matters, some of consid- erable importance. came before the directors of the board of trade at a luncheon held yesterday at the Adams Annex. The most important matter attended to was to make ar engagements insuring a good agricul- tural exhibit from MaricOpa county at the territorial fair.
 All the direc COTS agreed that it was very important Maricopa county should have a big and creditable eX hibit at the fair and the exposition committee was instructed to take up with the proper authorities the mat ter of securing space, and products of various kinds. The board of su pervisors will be co-operated with. It was the sense of the meeting that as much as possible of the exhibit gathered for the fair should be sent to Chicago, to the U. s. Land and Irrigation Exposition.
 A special committee reported fla vOrably upon the suggestion that tables for exhibits from all the coun ties of Arizona should be maintained in the boards new building. This matter was referred back to the committee.
 Another special committee report ed the postpOnement of the Parker excursion and its action was ap- proved. Secretary Harry Welch re- ported that great interest had been aroused in the proposed formation of a territorial board of trade and that there would undoubtedly be a large attendance at the meeting to be held here during fair week for the purpose of discussing that subject
 The matter of listing rooms for fair visitors was left with the sec retary, with power to take any action in the matter that he deems neces- sary
 Dwight B. Heard, who has just re- turned from Los Angeles, told what the boards branch in that city is do- ing. Mir. Heard is highly enthusias tic over what the branch has ac- complished and what he fees sure it will accomplish in the future.
 The directors will meet again in

GLOBE IDEAL TOWN FOR
 POSTAL SAVINGS BANK
Uncle Sam Expects to Get Business that Now Goes To Victor
 Emmanuel's Country.

Some surprise haS been expressed over the fact that the postoffice de- partment has not designated Phoenix as one of the places at which it will establish a postal savings bank. Ac- cording to a Washington dispatch published in The Republican of Sun day morning, Globe has been desig- mated. The department has not in timated that it will place a bank at any other point in this territory
 It is the present policy of the post office department to establish a bank in connection with one second class postoffice in each state or territory As the postal bank system expands, other banks will be established, but at points where no reputable savings banks are conducted Not for a long time will any postal banks be estab- lished in cities and towns where the population already has ample facilities for depositing their sav- ings.
 Several Phoenix banks have say ings departments and specially solicit savings deposits, paying the usual rate of interest. Therefore the post office department does not feel that a postal bank is a particular neces- sity here.
 Globe, however, is an ideal place for a postal savings bank. It has a large foreign population of Italians and Slavonians. who are races noted for their saving propensities. Thousands of dollars are now sent out of Globe every month to Italy and there de- nOSited in tho DOSfal bapLS ubicb were established by the government great many years ago. It is ex pected that much of the money now sent to Italy will be deposited right at Globe.

ANOTHER DIES MONIES PLAN.

The reformers of Des Moines ap- pear to be a united moral as we'll as political force and they are bent upon Knowing their town. for they know that 1t is only by thorough knowl- edge of the irregularities that the real needs of a city can be conceived. Des Moines is license city with citizens association that makes it a business to study conditions that it may act intel Iigently for the good of all the people. A committee of this association gave of Friday evening and on the follow ing Sunday had their report read in all the pulpits of the place. Their re- port showed that S5 women drank li- quor in the saloons on the night that the watching was done. There were 12,235 persons entered these licensed saloons between o'clock at night, and 10, closing time. Of these, 1S9 were minors.
 This is definite knowledge, which shows that the citizens association is becoming acquainted with the shady side of municipal life and preparing itself to enforce obedience to the law.
 In large cities, too few people know their town. Some of them know the social and religious side. some the bus mess and social side, and too few the amusement and conVivial side. To make a city administration square up to the moral code more people must know their city from every side.

terest in the needs of their feilowmen. But the ideal life blends the reverent, teachable spirit toward God. and faith ful fulflment of the daily round, to- gether with a large sympathy with all mankind.
 And at just one more point we need certifcation of character. Youth and age can be linked oy common pur- poses and motives. There have been goddess, scoffing old men, whose child hood was pure and beautiful; there have been snarling, quarrelsome chill dren whose old age was touched with the light of heaven and who went fearlessly down into the dark valley trusting in God and honored 'by their neighbors. But here again the life to be coveted is that which is all one piece, which moves on from a happy and innocent childhood to a self-cont- trolled and useful middle life and thence to 8 ripe old aga. To such even. growing characters the lines of the poet apply: Through nfe's long day Of strife they chant their morning song"

WHERE CLEANLINESS AROUSED
 SUSPICION.

There are some folks who do not like dirty dollar bills, and a part of them are fortunate enough to have new bank-notes to shop with most of the time. Some people, it seems. wash money, and the treasury department at Washington is so unaccustomed to the washed note that only the experts can't tell it from a counterfeit The fol- lowing story just illustrates where cleanliness comes closer to crime than to godliness. One of these washed notes got into the treasury depart ment at Washington recently and cre- ated quite a furore; and the secret service men were called in to follow up this clue to irregularities. It was a fresh, new-looking S1 silver certificate sent in by a New York bank, the state ment being made that the bill had been deposited by a woman whom they were keeping under their eye. The bank had labeled the dollar counter felt. Secret Service Chief Will1ie took the dollar in hand and examined it very carefully. He brought his power full magnifying glass into service and turned the bill over and over, trying to find in it some error, but the error. was not there. He examined it obverse and reverse and on the edges The bill did not look just right; but, just the same, not 8 single flaw could be found in it. After he examined it about an hour he called his chief assistant to whom he turned the dollar bill over with the trenchant remark, It's been washed. that's all,' and so there is no counterfeit dollar bill of that particu- lar vintage

The government reports show that the average yield of 12S rock driven wells was 12.7 gallons minute, at an average depth of 10S feet The average temperature of 49 such wells was 50.5 degrees.
