Should one unacquainted with the
manner in which huge spectacles are
Staged accidentally stumble into the
stage entrance of the Odeon theater,
where klaw & Erlangers' new and
ersater production of Ben Hur" is
soon to be staged. he would magine
at the first sigh, that greets his eyes
that he had wandered into machine

evening of the first performance. order
OF that character which is only gained
thru the services OF the disciplined and
experienced mechanics and electri-
clans especially engaged for this work.
There are several features in con-
necton with the mechanical and cleo
trical effects used in making every
scene of Klaw & Erlangers new and
greater production of Ben Hur"
realistic in the highest degree, which
deserve special comment. The mos
important Of these is the mechanism
of the chariot race scene, both in the
actual running of the race and the
representation Of the app!auding pop
ulace- The panoramic view given at
the rear of the stage during the race
Is 80 realistically shown that 1t Actu-

going at terrific speed. The pano-
rama, which is depicted on only 5000
square feet Of canvas appears to be
endless, but az q matter Of fact It Is
only eighty feet in length. It runs on
the form Of an endless belt, turning at
each end on immense cylinders and
travelling at the rate Of 1900 feet .
minute Ball bearings are used In
order to make the cylinders revolve
nois,essly, and there are numberless
little travellers on which the canvass is
hung. These travellers. while made
from the finest steel, are very easily

accident may cause hundreds Of dol

was in progress. How to produce on
the stage a Roman chariot race, in
which the contestants each driv-
ing four horsesc eagerly striving
against one another participate. is a
mechanical problem that has puzzled
people all over the country when they
witnessed the performance Of Ben
Hur" Eight spirited horses galloping
at full speed in view Of the audience
are difficult to handle and when the
race is prolonged for over a minute no
small degree Of mechanical ingenuity
is necessary to make 1t success.
This scene which has contributed
greatly to the popularity Of Ben Hur"
is acknowledge to be the triumph Of
American stage craft.

MESA
SAChTON INDIANS ID
 HAVE A REAL FAIR
Reservation Red Men Are Arranging Plans for Big Show for
 Early November.

The Indian reservation is nearer to Mesa than any other town of reason able size. hence what ,Tanspires there is always of interest % the people or tnis section The news that the indl- ans of the reservation will hold a fair at Sacaton on the first, second and third of November has caused a great deal of interested comment here and no doubt many Mesa people will be in attendance. Prospective cotton grow CTS are especially concerned in the success of the fair. The reservation is said to have produced considera- ble quantities of that staple and sam ples will be in evidence at the fair. If cotton can be raised successfully there, all doubt will be dispelled as to the success of the industry at Mesa. In addition to cotton, there will be exhibits of the corn, wheat. barley and other produce grown under the irrigation system supplied the Indians by the government. A question has been raised whether the pumped wa ter at that point is or is not injurious to the land and a fair idea may be obtained by an inspection of the pro- ducts of the land in dispute. The eX- hibits of Indian curios will also be of interest, esecially to eastern people who may happen to be stopping in this section at the time of the fair.

A CHURCH COMMUNITY.

Mesa is taking no back seat as a church community. At present the Baptist. the Episcopal, the Methodist. the Mormon and the Christian denOm- nations are represented by attractive and commodious church edifices. and there is talk of another soon to be erected. on Sundays. hundreds of ru- ral residents come to the town to at tend their various places of worship. Mesa aspires to be the home of the good citizen. No better schools can be found in the territory Church fa- cilities are provided as rapidly as the demand requires. Society is above re- proach and it is generally acknowl- edged that there can be no better To- cation for the rearing of a family of children than in Mesa. The temp tations for the youth to go wrong are few. The acme of wickedness is to play pool, and that is a masculine rec reation rather than a vice. There are Sunday schools for the young anna teur theatricals and summer ard win ter picnics for the amusement of both old and young. For those who have reached the age of athletics, base ball and basket ball afford an outlet for surplus energy. Church sOcials and young peoples Epworth League and Christian EndeavOr societies give op- portunity for the study of right living. In short. it is the hope and boast of Mesa that the community will obtain and sustain reputation that will at ract the best class of citizenship and become a city of homes in the best sense of the word. When the trol- ly line between Mesa and Phoenix is a fact and not a promise. Mesa hopes to become to the capital city what Pasa- dena is to Los Angeles-the home of the business men and retired capital ists of the great state of Arizona. Lo- cation and climate are favorable for the realization of such a future and the class of new corners now locating in Mesa lead the residents to believe that such will be the final result.

HOMES ON CHANDLER LANDS.

Quite a large number of the pur- chasers of lands in the Chandler tract, south of Mesa, are now erecting homes and will occupy their holdings as soon as the houses are completed. Among them are Mir and Mrs. Lembke of Mo meta. California. MT. and Mrs. Morri-
 son and MT. and Mrs. owen, also from California. It is noticed that great many of the purchasers of these lands are California people. This is easily understood. The price of land in Cali
 fornia has been boosted to a point where there is more profit in selling than in holding the property. One can sell orange land there at from four to six hundred dollars per acre and but just as good if not better land, in the Mesa section at s100 per acre. It will of course require a few years to grow an orange orchard that will be produc- ing but one can well afford to give the time, for the reason that oranges in this section ripen much earlier than in California and hence the producer gets a better price. So far there are some two hundred orange growers located in the Mesa section, and more are con- stantly arriving. Within the next ten

CELEBRATION SOCIAL.

The ladies of the Maccabees of the World held a birthday celebration at K. P hall during the past week and the session was one of the most inter esting of the season. No attempt was made to transact business. It was the ladies' night out and they enjoyed every minute of the time. Speeches of more or less wisdom and humor were made by the orators; games were played prizes going to the winners, and a supper was served that only the ladies of Mesa know how to prepare. It was too bad there were no masculine judges present, but the Maccabee ladies do not admit trousered members and their sessions, business and social, are strictly fem mine affairs.

I tried all kinds of medicines, and they all failed to cure me. Then my mother told me to take Cardui When I had taken one bottle, l was able to do all of my work.

 When a woman is ill, the real trou- ble is generally some Arrangement of her constitution, and the headache and backache, etc, are merely synp- toms of her womanly weakness.

No other has the record of so many years of successful use in cases of woman,y ailments.
