Immoral LIFE LEADS TO VIO'
LENT DEATH" SLAYER'S
DEFENSE,

"a dissolute life commonly leads to
a desperate death"
That is the statement of ]. j..
Manual, Negro, who killed the Rev.
Alexander Edwards for alleged in
timacy with his wife.
Manuel was asked for statement
of why he had killed the negro pastor
of the Central Baptist church. He
tore leaf from a small note book and
wrote the sentence:
"a dissolute life commonly leads to
a desperate DEATH"
That was all that Manuel would
say.
From the statements made by Man
uel to the police Tuesday night, i'm
mediately following the killing of Ed
wards, the preacher had led the life
that leads to desperate death. Mrs.
Edwards, wife of the preacher, had
confirmed some of the rumors she had
heard of her husband. Manuel heard
them. His wife is alleged to have
confessed. He secured revolver, and
locating the minister, he says he Sc
cured a confirmation of what he had
heard.
Manuel is a hard working Negro. He
has been married eleven years. Dur
ing the session of the legislature last
winter he was one of the janitors. He
has since been employed as care
taker for the Park Land company
The News.

Mrs. ID. b. Simmons of Slick, Ark,
writes: 81 tried one bottle of Ford's Hair
Pomade and found it to be the best prep
aration l have ever used. 1t stopped
my hair from falling out and breaking
off and my hair is now as soft as it can
be and is longer than it has been for a
long time. My friends all want it.
Ford's Hair Pomade, the old, reliable
dressing for stubborn, curly hair makes
harsh hair more pliable, glossy and

scientlfic Phenomenon.

While a plumb-line may be straight,
1t is, curiously enough. not always
vertical. Irregularities of density in
the crust of the globe may produce
this phenomenon. A remarkable in
stance in point was found in the is
land of Porto Rico, where the devia-
ton from the vertical is so great that
in mapping the island the northern
and southern coast lines, as shown
in the older maps, had each to be
moved inward half a mile.

Industry of Orchid coIleetins.

In the Brazilian state of Pernambu-
CO orchid collecting has developed into
large industry which affords en-
ployment to many foreigners as well

either shipped direct to foreign ports

as agents for business houses all over

Work in HARMONY.

In Brazil monkeys and parrots not

for mutual benefit. The parrots gnaw

them fall in order to crack them and
the monkeys tear the husks asunder,
gather the nuts and divide them with

Straight Current Most Deadly.

Volt for volt, the direct or straight
current is more deadly than the al
ternating current. There is always
tiny bleeding in the brain In bad cleo

the shocked ones With the head low.
for this increases the many little
deadly bleedings in the brain.

TO PHOENIX
Piedmont, Kansas, Capitalists buy the
Furniture Store of Charles
Oonofrio

So favorably were George +. Bar
rows and G.. w. Fooshee impressed
with a lecture on the Salt River val
ley, delivered by Mrs. George w.
Cowgirl, who is in charge of the Los
Angeles bureau of the Phoenix board
Of trade, that they wholly disregard
ed tales of the terrible Arizona heat.
which were poured into their ears by
misinformed AngelenOs and came 10
see for themselves. AS result
they have become convinced that this
valley is the finest place in the world
and they have bought the furniture
store of Charles DOnOfrio, at Fourth
avenue and Washington street.
Mr. Barrows and Mr.. Fooshee are
from Piedmont, Kansas. They were
travelling through the west with their
families, looking for a place to en-
gage in farming or some line of COM
merciaI enterprise, and Phoenix was
the first place they found that exact
" suited tn, m. They arrived in this
city about a month ago and the deal
for the DOnOfrio store was closed
something like a week ago. Stock
is now being taken and the formal
transfer of the establishment will be
effected in a short time.
In Piedmont Messrs. Burrows and
Fooshee were in the general mercan-
tile business. Last winter their store
burned and they lost about half what
they had. Instead of rebuilding they
decided to go west and look for an
other location. The previous sum
mer Mr.. Barrows had visited Los
Angeles and had been very faVOrably
