SPECIAL SERVICES FOR MEN.

Meeting for men only at the Meth odist church each night this week, ex- cept on Wednesday night, at which ime a regular service will be held for the entire church.
 We urge upon the men of our church to be present at each service if possible. For some time this work has been going on in our church. It began with the officials The pastor has been exceedingly anxious that these men who have been so faithful | and efficient in the temporal work of the church might not spend all their | time in the serving tables" but that they might enter into the higher and more spiritual work of their Lord. This higher work calls for time out of eac hday for the study of Gods word, prayer and personal effort for unsaved friends.
 This plan is the only order of life that will close thegap between his pro- iNSSAoii stiiu HIS llIc. l HIS OTueE lOl- lowed out in the spirit of true wor- ship will make mans life as sound and as commendable to the world as his creed
 It is not that men are so much op- posed to our churches and our relig- ion, but they are asking, what does it do for you. And the pity has been that We have given so little time to our religious duties that the difference in conduct and in character between the protesting and the on-professing man has been too slight to impress the worl dwith it's importance. 1 am pleading with my church to take time to live great life for God and for mankind.
 This call is first to the men of the Methodist church. As pastor, our first duty is to them, but the movement is in no sense to be exclusive. Any man in our midst longing for help along these lines will find hearty welcome, irrespective of church lines.
 A special and urgent invitation is given to men who are concerned about their souls. Respectfully,
 E. R. STEEL.

LARGE PLANT IS
 INSTALLED IN MoHAvE
(Mohave County Miner.)

This week the new mill of the Frisco Mines and Power company went into commission. The mill is of a new pattern and eontemplates the tube milling of the product of the other mills. The plant will handle about 100 tons of ore daily. The power for the mills is obtained from a new type of crude oil burning en- zine, and is said to be one of the most economical, from point of fuel consumption, of anything in exist enee. So far the engine has been running with a half load and the computation of the cost of horse power is about s5.50 per month.
 The mines have been opened to such an extent that there is now in sight the enormous total of over 100000 tons of milling ore. This ore is easy to mine and tests have shown that high extraction of val ues can be made by the process in use

CHINESE QUEUES WORN BY FOUR
 HUNDRED

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-Chinese queues are now being worn by New York society women and as a re- suit one of the most rapid as well as surprising transfers of hair which this city mas ever seen is taking place. Queues which a week ago might have been seen adorning Celes- tial backs in Chinatown can now be viewed on the heads of the feminine leaders of the "4OO," occupying boxes at the opera. The pigtails, as they were commonly known, are worn by their new possessors in a manner somewhat different from that praetieed by tneir former owners, and the fact that these queues are now decorating the heads of society leaders is to be attributed to an inn perial Chinese ediet and not to a new whim of fashion. For many years New York women have worn in the form of puffs, transformations and the like hair imported from China. The supply has been small, however, and the price high. But since the word has come from Hong Kong, recently, that queues were no longer to be worn, no less than 2,000 out of New York 2,500 Chinese have sacrificed their hirsute adorn- ments. The queues have not been sacrificed for nothing, however, since every shorn owner has received from $7 to $2O from hairdressers for the hair from which he was separated.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
 ADVOCATED IN ILLINOIS

 CHICAGO, H., Feb. 9.-Efforts to conserve the soil fertility of Hi. nois, which a committee of the Bankers Association of Illinois has undertaken as result of the warn. ings of the State University. that depletion was going on almost un checked, has a big future stake, ae- eording to Dr. J. Paul Goode of Chi cago, who has asserted that if the soil is conserved the Mississippi val ley will have a population of 200,- 100000 to 3OO,OOO,OOO before the cen tury ends.
 Wisconsin took the lead in efforts to prevent soil impoverishment and now the states of Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan will unite in the efforts in a common cause. Dr. Cyril W. Hopkins, dean of the State Agricultural School, warned the bankers when in convention that something must be done soon in soil restoration. Not only is that to he done, but the committee, of which W. G. Edens of Chicago is secretary, also has recommended efforts to in- spire the children of farmers with a new respect, interest and love tor farm work. The committee first report includes this declaration:
 "We feel that a system of schools by public expense, can bet ter justify itself by the further in of agricultural and voca- tional education in its curriculum; that the country schools, in partieu- lar. can be made much more helpful in the matter of agricultural edu- cation and in increasing the inter est of the children in that greatest and most necessary of all profes- sions, the profession of agriculture, and to this extent, at least, we glad ly endorse the report of the Educa- tionaI Commission of this state.'

DRY FARMING IS
 PROFITABLE IN UTAH
From Fridays Daily.)

It appears from government re- ports on dry farming that the same has been most successfully carried on in the state of Utah. The farm CTS in Utah have been dry farming for over forty years and in that time have become educated in the conservation of moisture so that they have successfully grown good crops of wheat upon a fall of less than twelve inches of moisture. The pre- cipitation of moisture in Utah varies from six to twenty-four inches. The heaviest fall being in the mountain regions and in the form of snow. By areas calculated in the agrieul- tural regions of the state the great est precipitation is ten inches. As much as 34.17 bushels of wheat has been produced using proper moisture conservation methods in Utah. The government records also snow that the greater part of the moisture in Utah falls in the winter months and with little or no fall in the summer months. The report of the agrjcul- tural department of the state of Utah says that dry farming is a commercial success in Utah.
 Yavapai county has as good land as Utah and much land similar to that which is dry farmed in Utah. It has a fall of 15.6 inches of mois- ture as compared with a maximum of 10 inches in Utah. It is certainly true that as much can be done by scientific moisture conservation in
 Arizona with 15.6 inches of moisture as can be done in Utah with only 10. Proper soil cultivation is the sole success of dry farming.

 The Misses Thomas and Zeigler, and Messrs. Ling and Eads, play ing four of the principal parts, all handled their parts in a splendid manner. Never stumbling for cues or words, they added large share to the big hit the play made.
 Leo MeMahon, as the comic man, c. O. Vyne as the footman, and Mar garet Darrow, in a leading role, also added their share to the manner in which "Charley's Aunt" was pro- dueed.
 Anna Cahil, in her graceful and beautiful dancing between acts, pleased and delighted the audience in manner that it is given to few amateurs to do. Cool and confident, graceful, and in perfect rhythm, she was pleasure to see.
 III the Ilue Ol muSlc, the cOHllc song of Fannie Thomas also added greatly to the between-acts enter tainment.
 The play was received with so much commendation here that it will be repeated again on next Monday night. At this performance the price of tickets will be reduced, mak- ing the down stairs seats $1 and be- hind the railing 75 cents. The bal cony will be the same as the lower floor and the gallery will be S5 cents.
 Tomorrow night the play will be put on at Jerome with the same cast that produced it here, and it is a safe prediction that it will meet with the same approval that it did here.

.HATP|N APPEARS DOOMED ID
 OBLIVION

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-That the eyes, to say nothing of the other features of mere man, may soon be made safe in this city, at least from
 the dealy hatpin, over which so nuen controversy has waged of late, now seems probable While such a result will be hailed with joy by all members of the sterner sex, it will owe its achievement to the women themselves, as was evidenced this week, in one of the strangest hearings which ever took place in the aldermanie chambers of the City Hall. For more than three hours the city fathers examined all sorts of safety devices calculated to take
 the sting from the lengthy hatpin. Representatives of one hundred and sixteen women's clubs appeared against the hatpin and gave the municipal lawmakers all sorts of in- formation and arguments which the majority admitted they could not understand without the aid of their wives.
 Numerous substitutes for the still
 etto like pin were shown, the most
 remarkable being comb-like arrange ment to be worn inside the hat, in tended to grasp and release its grip upon the hair at the will of the wearer. Unfortunately this new de vice, while it succeeded in gripping the hair of the exhibitor, refused to release it, with the result that the hat in which it was demonstrated had to be cut from the wearer' s head. That the long hatpin evil is a real one, however, was shown by the hundreds of complaining letters which the oldermen had received.
 One from a plumber caused eonsid- erable merriment "A big fat fe- male put her hatpin into my neck in the subway" said the writer, "and the blood ran for ten minutes She just laughed, and when I didn t like it, she wanted to have me put off" Two other men, it appeared, however, saved him from such an inglorious fate.

WRECKED TRAIN . CAUSES SHORT DELAY
From Thursday'e Daily)

Tuesday afternoon, freight train No. B, on the s. F., P. & P, was wrecked five miles south of Hillside Station, five cars going into the ditch. It was the most serious ae- eident the company has sustained in several months, and is believed to have resulted from the spreading of the rails on account of the soft con- dition of the road bed after the re- cent heavy storms. Of the five cars wrecked three were loaded with sheep, one with coal, one with mer- chandise, and the caboose. All were on the rear end of the train. All ears were thrown into the ditch, and some of them rolled over as often as three times. The several nun dred head of sheep escaped with the loss of only nineteen head, and for tunately, none of the crew were in Iured. The eaboose, at the tune, had the conductor and two brakemen aboard, and neither were in any way injured, although the ear turned over twice when it left the track.
 The track was torn up for a dis tance of 300 feet, which occasioned the long delay in the passenger trains arriving in Prescott. No. 3 did not reach this city until twelve hours after its schedule, while No. arrived last evening at o'clock, seven hours behind time Crews were taken from the Bradshaw route and it was announced last night that the regular time card would pre- vail again today, repairs having been made.

(From Saturdays Daily.)

Society turned out en masse to see what was beyond all doubt one of the finest local talent shows ever put on in this city, last night, at tke Elks theater. Not a vacant seat in the house; the great amount of deserved applause; the spontaneous laughs which the play caused, is the highest tribute the players could re- eeive. Bouquets were freely given to the actors which they so richly merited.
 The curtain raiser "'Van Bibber s Littlest Girl" was beautiful and pathetic one act sketcn, which was well produced, W. T. King, in the leading part, making a distinct hit, while little Lorraine M. Davis, as the "littlest girl" covered herself with credit. G. o. Vyne, as the ser want, acted in his part in a way that could not have been improved upon by a seasoned actor.
 
 Between this and the play of the evening, "Charley's Aunt" Messrs Lamson, Patterson, Vyne and Long entertained the audience as a quar- tette, with a few well chosen selec- tions, and to say that they were fine, is expressing it mildly.
 The play, a decidedly humorous hit, was first used by the famous actor, Nat c. Goodwin, and proved to be stepping stone to the fame he now enjoys. It is full of com ical situations and humorous eli maxes, with plenty of snappy con- versation, which kept the house in an uproar all of the time. W. E. Graham, the gentleman who put the
