OFF FOR THE
 SNAKE DANCES
Two Phoenix Couples Left Last Night for Flagstaff Whence They Will Jour ney to the Moki Indian Villages

Two Phoenix couples will make a trip into the Moki country 70 see the savages cavort through the measures of the famous snake dance-a journey that will prove a most interesting one.
 T. B. Hawkins and wife and Dr. N. D. Brayton and wife left last night by train for Flagstaff, where an auto mobile is waiting to carry them into the land of mystery and big red sand buttes. The trip overland from Flag staff to Oraibi. the sacred place of this years demonstration is to be made in one day. It is said road conditions among the Moki washes are good and if no unforeseen trouble oc- CUTS the party ought to enjoy a pleas ant drive through some of the most picturesque of Arizona's diversified scenery.
 The dance this year will be seen by a great number of Phoenicians as well as AriZonians from other parts Of late years the Moki have come to re- alize the financial importance of all lowing the white people to attend the ceremonials, and for that reason it is entirely safe to venture into the north land, where in the past trespass at the time of the hidden rites" was pun ished by a lingering death. Still the real innermost doings are never seen by alien races. Even the Zuni, who are the nearest in blood to the Moki, have never been present at the Sun prayers and Rain prayers of the strangest of the southwest Indians.

PHOENIX MERCHANTS
 HAVE THEM PLACED
Identity Of Former Phoenix Couple, Established by Ledger Accounts
 Of Local Business Men

special telegram to The Repub- lican yesterday morning announced the arrest in Dunsmuir. California, of Charles D. Roberts and Mrs Ada V. Meacham. and another telegram in this issue announces their release from custody. insufficient evidence having been found to hold them. The tele- grams stated that they were former residents of Phoenix where Roberts and MT. Meacham were business part ners.
 Few readers could recall the per ,ons referred to and considerable curi- osity was expressed locally yesterday. It was ascertained that the business conducted here under the name of Roberts and Meacham, was a plumb ing shop and that it was located on Van Buren street north of the Central school building. It was also learned that the junior member of the firm was not Mir. Meacham but Mrs. Meacham and that she represented herself here as being the sister of Roberts.
 It was still further made known in certain quarters that their most notable offense in these parts was in leaving town without settling the firms financial obligations, leaving their pOstoffice address. or giving their creditors even a sportsmans chance by fair warning so they could enter against them in a race for the depot.

WEATHER SHOW
 AT GLENDALE
Sugar Town Had a Carnival of Wind, Rain and Light ming Last Night; Every body Scared, But Nobody Hurt

t Between five and six o'clock last evening while the clouds lowered over Phoenix, good breeze cooled the air and vagrant rain drop now and then battered on the sidewalk, there was really something doing in Glendale ming all combined to mess things up in an irritating way and the timid were made to feel that fate was only a short lap behind them and proceed ing without regard to the speed limit
 The most unusual phenomena was observed in the heavens, which were dotted with haystacks. barns and small buildings Papers scared among the clouds as though the mail were being distributed by wireless, or the rural free delivery routes had been up- tended. Then it rained, rained hard and fast. Those who passed through it aver that it was one of the Wettest rains they ever saw
 Then there was the electric dis play and they do say it was some lightning. The strongest testimony comes from the passengers on the Glendale car which was just leaving for Phoenix. The car had gone some distancce from Glendale when a bolt of lightning hit the trolley a few yards behind 1t and put the car out of busi- ness. It was sort of elctrocuted and it was some time before the passen- gers could be convinced that they were not dead and in heaven, but nobody was worse hurt than the fright. For tunately a construction car happened to be no great distance from the pas senger car, and this side of it. It managed to escape injury and was communicated to tow the passenger car into Phoenix.

PHASES OF THE
 D0G QUESTION
Chief of Police Discusses the Situation; Canines, Mug
 zles, Hydrophobia and
 Dog Tags; Revival of the Dog Catcher's Activities

The city marshal rises to make a ljttlc explanation of the dog laws anJ
 prevailing 0ug conditions that should
 bc "r interest to the major part Of the
 population, judging from the number
 of dogs in town and assuming that
 tfe mean average ownership docs not
 exceed two dogs to one person.
 A rumOr was circulated recently.
 that all dogs must be muzzled. It is
 true that the ordinance requires the
 muzzling as well as the tagging of
 dogs under certain conditions, but for
 years the council has not seen fit to require their muzzling as it was not regarded necessary. The tagging. on
 the contrary. has been regarded as quite necessary if for no other reason
 than to regulate the dog supply and keep it down somewhere within range of the demand.
 The muzzling of dogs is desirable only when there seems to be unusual
 danger of hydrOphobia, or a vicious
 dog is for one reason or another al lowed to live, for as a rule the vicious
 dogs are not tolerated if their exist
 ence is known. Recently there have
 been reports of hydrophobia, which, no doubt. gave rise to the muzzling
 story, but in no case reported has hy-
 drophobia been found. In some in
 stances the dogs were sick and were
 killed but there was never evidence of hydrophobia, hence no muzzle enforce ment sA
 But there are entirely too many dogs and to that end the tag regula- tion is being enforced as rigidly as possible In this the police request the cooperation of all citizens It is hoped they will report their own dogs and anvbOdy's else seen wandering around without a tag. Hardly day passes that somebody does not call a policeman to come and shoot a dog, ably the dog is found without a tag. ably the dag is found without a tag.
 He has been hidden until it was found desirable to kill him. The suggestion is made that people who want police protection for their dogs should pay for it in the regular way. Again there | is an army of wise dogs in this town 1 that are entirely too clever for the | dog catcher. They know him on sight and know how to get away from him. | The only way he can get anywhere near them is with a bullet. a privilege
 that is not given him, so the dogs are comparatively safe.
 | The dog catcher has been taking it a little easy for a while but his aC- i tivities have been revived by the mar shars order and it is hoped that more people will help him and fewer of them lend their help to the dogs. In | any event the least they can do is to l be neutral and let the dogs and the
 dog catcher fight it out. It is not de- sirable to enforce the muzzle ordin-
 ance or to appeal to the rifle but if the dogs are given too much the best
 of it something vigorous will have to | be started

MT. Adee's Waterproof.

Alvey A. Adee, who has been an as sistant secretary of state as far back as anyone connected with the govern ment can recall, makes a bicycle tour of some foreign country every year. Last summer he went through SwitZer- land, and at one of the little Swiss chatelets he forgot to pack his old waterproof coat. He did not think it worth while to go back for it or write about it, as it was not very valuable. A month or so after his return to Washington he received a package upon which he paid a goodly express charge. It was the old waterproof coat. The honest Swiss hoteIkeeper had discovered the name of the i'm portant American official upon the coat. and, knowing his next address, forwarded the coat by express. It continued to follow MT. Adee from ho- tel to hotel. piling up express charges as it went along, but never catching up with him until he was safe in his office in Washington.

ARMS COVERED
 WITH R|NGWORM
AsoAround Mouth. Spread Rapidly. Itched and Burned DreadfuIIy. By Using Cuticura Soap and 0int- ment Ringworm Disappeared.

2O73 Ogden St.. Denver. Colo.-"About four years ago I was bothered dreadfehly with ringworm around my mouth I did not pay much attention to it at first. al- though 1t looked bad. It spread rapidly and itched and burned dreadfuliy. The first thing knew my arms from the elbows down were covered with ringworm, and my face seemed worse.
 ''I got some medicine which relieved the itching and sort of dried up the ringworm but it kept coming back. I decided to lot the medicine go, and I scratched them until they were sore. At that time there must have been four on my face One extended from cne corner Of my mouth under my chin. That was the largest one. but the smaller ones looked as bad for they were kept fiery red from my scratching. Each of these red biotches was raised about one sixteenth of an inch. and the centers were covered with pieces of dried skin giving them very rough appearance.
 One day I accidentally got hold of 8 small piece of Cuticua Soap. and in a few days I noticed how much good it was doing me. kept on using the Soap. and spoke of it to a friend of mine. She told . me of the Cuticura Ointment, and by using both. the ringworm disappeared in a short time (Signed) Miss Helen Magee. June II, 1911.

HE METAL MARKET
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHI


 NEW YORK, August 14-Taking to- days highest quotations as a basis. the general average prices of the stock market were the highest of the year. This was due mainly to the strength of a number of specialties of the semi active class, whose recent advances have been proportionately greater than those recorded by the speculative fav- Orites. As a matter of fact, however, many better known securities, incIud- ing Steel, made the best prices of the year today, while Union Pacific, Amal- gamated Copper, Smelling, and other active issues were higher than at any period for several months. The activ- ity and strength of the metal securi- ties were concurrent with intimations that another advance in the price of copper is about due. These reports gained credence from the situation abroad where better inquiry for cop per is reported

An unusual kind of refrigerator has been devised by a California man. In stead of being cooled by ice the air in it is kept at the desired temperature by the fact that the fabric covering of the receptacle is mOistened continu- ally. This fabric covers the walls and top of the refrigerator, and on top stands small water tank with drip cock. A box of fabric incloses this tank also. This tank is filled with cold wa ter, not necessarily ice water. which is allowed to drip from it and. spreading through the covering of the refriger- ator keeps the air inside cool. The temperature of the water in the tank is kept down by moistening the small box inclOSing it. This refrigerator works on the principle of the country springhouse, and, while the air inside is not ice cold. it is cold enough for all purposes.
