 In calling a number you should speak distinctly and where there is a prefix or a letter in the num- Der you should also repeat these to the operator.
 If you are calling in haste we ask you to note the time and not feel that seconds are minutes and that we are neglecting your tele- phone.
 If you let your neighbors and friends use your telephone indis- criminately your station is likely to be reported busy when you are not personally using 1t.

Henry Loun for State Senator.

This week we are called upon to an- nounce the candidacy of Henry Lovin for the Senate of the new State of Ari- zona, and that he will go before the democratic electors of the county for that high office.
 Mir. Lovin has been prevailed upon by his friends to make the race, and now that he has consented to shy his castor in the political ring he will make the fight to win. Mir. Lovin is one of the largest property owners of the county and has held many import ant offices under the electorate of the people. For four years he was sheriff of the county, and at the last election was sent to Phenix to help prepare the constitution of the new state, and in that body was one of the progress ives, having voted for the adoption of all of the progressive features of the which the people of the territory adopted by so large maIcr- ity. It is not probable that he will have opposition for the nomination within the party.

At the Primary election to be held
 on the 24th of next month separate
 tickets will be used by each of the
 political parties within the territory of Arizona, and one blank ticket will
 be used for the independents. Only 1 one ballot box will be used and one set of officers will do the work, where
 heretofore each party had a set of
 election officers. Any person writing
 the name of candidate for the oppo-
 site political faith will lose his vote
 for that particular candidate, although
 the balance of ticket will be counted.
 If you are to vote for an independent
 ticket you will have to use the blank
 ticket, but this ticket must be asked
 for when you demand your ticket of the election officers. All electors must state their party utilization to the election officers and the ticket of that party will be supplied. Only candi- dates whose names appear on the bal lot or whose name may be written in can be voted for, but no name that ap- pears on the other ballot, and who has been nominated by any other party and whose name appears upon printed ticket, can be voted for on the party ticket. Should such name be written on the ballot it cannot be counted by the election officers.
 The primary election in San Francis co last Tuesday was one of the hardest fought political battles ever held in the Golden State. The mayoralty was the real issue, but with it went the strangle hold of the vicious class on the board of supervisors of that city. It is thought that in the defeat of Mccarthy went the board of supervisors that held corruption above honesty. San Francisco has been one of the most peculiar cities in the Union politically. | the business interests standing in with | the depraved element to control | and have a hand in the dis | bursting of the millions of dollars of road and other funds at the disposal of | the board. It was really the business interests that elected Mccarthy at the last election, on the ground that it was necessary to make San Francisco the Paris of America to bring the business. Now that the people at last have de- posed the boss it is to be hoped that it will be made as ideal city as under the Phelan administration.
 There are three Corporation Con- 10 be elected in Arizona this fall and we would like to see a candidate for the office from Mohave county. E. F. Thompson, on the democratic ticket, would undoubtedly make winning race. Mir. Thompson has the ability and his interests run to fairness to both the corporations and the people.

AGood Show.

The colored minstrels were witness ed by large and appreciative audi ence here last. Tuesday evening. It is very seldom that we get to see as good a minstrel show as this one except in the larger cities. The darkies were right there, both in singing and danc- ing and were encored to almost every number.
 The show carries fine brass band which rendered some excellent music. -GeneacO Post.

Dr. Henderson closes his essay with
a discussion of Mark Twain as a phil

mastery OF sociology, that highest
sphere of thought, embracing relig-

Mark Twain to the German public
There are still many people, however,
who resent any demonstration hat
Mark Twain was anything more han

Mr.. Bernard Shaw once remarked to
ne, in support of the view here out
l1Eed, that he regarded Poe and Mark
Twain as Americas greatest achieve

thought of Mark Twain primarily, not

to make people who would otherwise

Mark TWain's ultimate philosophy
Is healthy and right-minded. 1t is
best embodied in the lofty injunction;
Diligently train your ideals upward

My Dear Father
I received a letter from you a few
lays ago dated June 2Sth, n was
very glad indeed to hear from you and
from home. I ave intended writing
to you for some time past but things
in this region rave been in such a
state that I have had no opportunity.
I have seen a good deal of hot work
since ( wrote to you last Have been
in four regular battles, besides several
skirmishes, and thanks to the good
Lord have escaped unhurt Our resl-
uaent was one Of the first to cross he
Chickahominy on h 27th Of June. at
about four p. M, and we began fight
ing Immediately and fought almost
necessarily, except when darknes pre-
vented. until the next night.
Soon after going into the fight Col
Conner had his leg broken by a rifle
ball and the command of the regiment
devolved upon me, and / have had
the honor Of leading it since that
time. We have lost a good many IN
killed and wounded; have done some
very hard fighting and have killed
a goodly share OF Yankees: We were
in the battles Of Thursday, Friday,
27th and 2Sth. and Of Monday the
sOth. and Tuesday the LIST Of July.
since the latter date we have done no
fighting. Our regiment was about 400
strong when we went into the fight
and our loss was as follows: Killed,
OF; wounded, 1872; missing, 4; making
a total loss of 163. Several Of u
wounded have sine died, and l am
fearful that others may share the
same fate If this hot weather con-
tinues. / am unable to give You the
loss in our whole army, but it has
been very heavy, and viii. not fall
much short of 6 or 8 thousand. We
routed the enemy at every point n
drove them before us for some 20 or
% miles, until they took shelter under
the cover of their gunbOats. A part
Of our army was badly managed or
the the enemy would have been COM
pelled to have lost 10000 or more men

Huger did not obey orders. did not ar
rive at the place assigned him by
Gen. Lee until it was too late to do
any good Gen. Magruder also did
not discharge his duty as expected or
our loss would not have been SO heavy.
I see from the Yankee papers they
claim a great victory, but it is all
false, they we're badly beaten at every
point where they attempted to make a
stand.
We tool a great many prisoners. be-
