SIGNALS 0F FIRE ALARM Paste Them 0n the Wall
 For Ready Reference E1TERKMOWlEDGE 0f THEM
Will Often Save the Public Much Needless Excite ment, As In Incidents Like That of Tuesday Morning.

The alarm of fire that was sounded
 Tuesday morning when the call Tor asSistance came from Phoenix ana the attending excitement makes II very apparent that Tempe people as
 q rule are not familiar with the sys- tenn of alarms. IL is not known who rang the alarm but if whoever II was would have followed the system to the letter he would have sounded three distinct taps several times. Had
 that been done and had the residents Of the town been familiar with the system. it would have been plain to every one at once that for some req son or other the presence Of the lire ment was required at the hose house there would have been no excite ment There is nothing that so alarms the public as the sound Of the fire bell and whenever possible this alarm should be avoided. IL IS be- lieved that if every one will familiar iZe themselves with the different sig nals. the excitement that followed Tuesdays call can be much lessened- The fire department some years ago compiled q set of signals through which is indicated by the number of taps following the main alarm. the section of the town in which the fire js located That system is given in tabulated form herewith and il is suggested that every reader clip il
 out and paste it up somewhere handy where it can be consulted at q mOm- ent'S notice:
 One tap-North and east of Fifth
 street
 Two taps-North and west of Fifth street.
 Three taps-South and west of Firth street.
 Fourth taps-South and east of Fifth street.
 Five taps-East Tempe. Six taps-GOldman's addition. Firemen's call-Three distinct taps. If the public will study the above system of signals there will be no further difficulty in finding the lOca- ton Of the fire. IT. for instance, three taps follow the main alarm, every one will know that the fire is somewhere south and west of Fifth street, in some one of the blocks Of that district Six taps would indi cate that the fire was somewhere in Goldman's addition or at the normal, for the normal campus and buildings are included in that district. Then best of all. when three distinct taps
 are given. the public may know that il is a call for the firemen only-that ! it is probably an incident like that of Tuesday--a call for outside help.
 Hence the public can roll over in bed
 and take another nap without being occasiOned any unnecessary excite ment or loss of sleep.
 Since the department has gone to the trouble of making up this system of alarms. il is really up to the pub lie tO memOriZe them for unless they are well known. their real purpose is lost.

Cause of Eczema Explained.

After years of debate medical au- thorities are now agreed that Eczema and other skin disease are not seated in the blood, but are caused by myriads of microscopic animals gnawing the flesh just below the epidermis. The pa tient is perfectly healthy, it is only the skin that is diseas ased.
 Hence, scientists are now agreed that you must cure the skin through the skin. The medicine must be in liquid form in order To penetrate properly. And We can say witn confidence that we have the true remedy for Eczema in our store.
 The instant you wash with this soothing liquid you will find the itch relieved. We positively assure you of this. Will you try . bottle tat only 2jc). on our recommendation? Ask for D. b. D. Prescription. Elvey & Hulctt, Phoenix. AriZ.

MESA WILL HAVE 4 ". J. OFFICE
A Recognition of the Growth of the
 Town.

Information was received at this place yesterday from F. II. Lamb. su- perintendent of the Western Union Telegraph company to the effect that an uptown office would be establish ed at this place.
 IL will be remembered that from time to time the matter of having an up- town office. entirely separate and distinct from the railroad office has been taken up with the headquarters of the company at Los Angeles. The request was given little apparent se- rious consideration until a few weeks ago when l.. B. Johnson. worrying along for a half hour or so in an at tempt to get q message out over the local railroad wire sat down, took his pen in hand and dashed off a few brisk sentences to the head office in which he relieved his feelings consid- erably. The following letter was re- ceived yesterday which is self ex- planatory and is as follows:

MAY DIE FROM
WOUND.
TROY BANKS NOT EXPECTED
70 RECOVER AND LEE
BANKS MAY HAVE TO
FACE MURDER CHARGE

Lexington, Nov. 23.-That Lee
Banks will have to face a Lexington
county jury, charged with the mur-
der of his only son, seems very
probable. The latest adviCes from
Leesville are that the younger Banks
who was shot by his father, will like
ly not recover.
The older Banks treatment of his
wife IS said to have bordered on the
savage. 1t is said that he would
run his wife away from home. fore
ing her to seek shelter at the home
of neighbors. On last Tuesday af-
tetnoon, when Banks, in n drunken
rage attempted to drive her away.
Troy Bsnks, the son, II years old,
went to the aid-of his mother in an
effort to Aie.d her. Lee Banks
rned on his son, who ran for his
lie. He had not gone far, however
before he was shot down by bull
let from a Winchester, the ball ia
king effect in the calf of the leg,
shattefng the bone to such ar ex-
tent that amputation was necessary.
The ball entered from behind.
Mrs. Banks ran to the home Of a
nearby neighbor and asked for as
Sistance. Physicians were immed-
lately summoned and upon arrival
at the home, one Of them, DR.. Riser
Of Leesville, was roughly HANDLED
by the irate father. 1t was with the
greatest difficulty, it is said, that
the physicians could administer to
the young man.

CRIPPEN HANG
ED FOR M UR-
DER OF WIFE.
C0ND E,MNED MAN PRESENTS
PITIABLE APPEARANCE
AS HE is LED TO SCAF-
FOLD.

London, Nov. 23.--Dr. H. H.
Cripptn was today hung in Penton-
vile prison for the murder of his
actress-wife, Belle Elmore. The ex-
ecution occurred within a few min
utes of the stroke Of nine, which was
the time officially designated. The
condemned man presented a pitiabic
appearance as he was literally led
throughout the short corridor from
his cell to the scaffold
His mental anguish had been too
great TO be covered UP by outward
bravado and he was broken man
when the wardens were obliged to
assist him up the Steps % the drop
upon which once reached, the shrink
ing figure all but collapsed. The first
report that Crippen had met his fate
calmly vas contradicted by persons
who were prese0t in the prison du-
riro the mans last hours. The doom
ed man passed a restless night and
appeared haggard and worn when a.
wakenel from his fitful slumber.
He seemed to lose all fortitude as
the end approached. A breafast
was brought to him, but he left it
untouched. His face was colorless
as he was escorted bare-headcd to
The gallows. The grewsome work
was soon done, The black cap was
quickly drown over the face; the
moose adjusted and the bolt drawn.
Crippen, who weighed l4op oundS
was given drop of se@sn feet.
Death was Instantaneous
Following the execution the in
quest required by law was held, the
jury returning a verdict to the effect
that the sentence of the law had
been duly carried out. This morn
ing, following the execution the
prison authorities issued an official
statement declaring that Crippen
had made no confession.
TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
London, Nov. 23.-According to
The Dasly Express, Crippen on
Tuesday night was restless in bed,
the wardens who became suspic-
ious made search, and found that
he had broken his spectacles with
the supposed intention of opening
vein and committing suicide.

fancy work, poultry and hogs. The
departments of domestic science
and agriculture show great advance
ment in methods of keeping house

The Batesburg Negro Fair was
notable success. especially ccnsid-

1t is Carroll's object to make this a
great agricultural and industrial fair.
and he, and the others working
with him are deserving of the hearty
support of the white people.
