Would you like to hear your
favorite song warbled from the
lips of the very man who COM
posed and wrote it?
Probably you never imagined
before that you would have the
opportunity. The opportunity is
here-that is, IL your favorite
song is included in the scores OF
the half dozen late musical sue
cesses by Joseph E. Howard. And
the average lover of popular mu-
sic will nearly find his favorite
in the song list Of "The Time,
Place and The Girl" "The Cod
dess of Liberty" "a Stubborn
Cinderella" "a Prince of To-
night" and 1.-THE District Lead

At Pantages theater this week
Joseph E. Howard offers to sing
any song from any of these Ave
musical comedy successes from
his own pen. Yesterdays audi

for Is minutes. Miss Mabel Nc.
Kane appears with Howard in a
little skit that preceded the sing

Nearly Unbelievable

You ought to think twice on that story about
Cummings, the Salt Lake City electrician, who it
is claimed. has got up an electric coil which will
throw an electric spark for miles, without wire
connection and notwithstanding intervening OBJ
jects.
This feat has been the dream of all electricians
since first electricity began to be seriously stud
led and it is the dream of all present day electric
ians It means the transmission of power through
space, finally. Another great thought is that it
means the abandonment of explosives in warfare.
If Cummings has got what he claims, he has got
something that is worth much more than an ordin-
airy newspaper announcement and one OF our
thoughts is bound to be to the effect that he hasn't
got it. :.

When a pretty girl goes by
There's a glimmer in my eye, :
Just flicker of delight
At so glad and fair q sight;
Youth and beauty and romance. y
These are what my rowing glance
Find in every curve and curl
OF passing pretty girl,
And my heart Is beariL high
When lovely maid goes by.
II yield me to her charm
AS she passes. where's the harmf
I'll not follow her, or speak
Words to flush that peach-blow cheek Z
But my much-adoring gaze
Dwells upon her as she sways
Daintily a-down the street.
Gay and very blithe and sweet.
Love OF beauty's not amiss.
Who shall censure me for thisf
II ever get so
Care not as the girls so By.
II no glance of mine shall rest
On the very prettiest:
Take me quickly, then, pray,
And Just bury me away:

That the life has gone from me
And I'm dead rs dead can be

It was noble OF Engene DebS to take that out
cast minister's daughter into his home and shelter
her But his Christian act has been far surpassed
by a woman
At Los Angeles, Mrs. Leah belmont refused to
earn money on the street for her husband and
shot him dead when he tried to compel her to- The
coroner's jury exonerated her and commended her
act Just the same, of course, she is a murderess
Now comes Mrs. Charles Wellington Rand
wealthy society matron, who offers to take Mrs.
belmont into her home and give her as good a
chance to live pure useful life she would give
her own daughter.
We imagine that Brother Debs risked little, so
cially, that he priced. This magnificent woman,
Mrs. Rand, risks what society women hold most
dear
Debs was fine in risking his mite, which was
perhaps not much. The woman Is splendid In
rrisking her all, which is much.

Horse Stealing Is Dimin- ishing and Demand for Insurance to Protect Against Theft of Stock Is Decreasing.
Especial to The Republican,


 DENVER, Colo. Aug. 25.-One of the large live stock insurance companies that has been writing insurance to protect against stealing horses and Oth- CT live stock has decided to withdraw from the business in this section of the west. The stealing of horses, it is stated, has fallen off so that the de- mand for insurance of this character has been very slight in the past few years.
 T attribute a great part of this to the wide spread use of the telephOne", said an official of the insurance com pany. Tn the days when we first be- gan writing insurance on stock in the mountain states a horse thief usually got away with his prize. He was usu- ally mounted on as good a horse as those who followed him and as he had several hours start was seldom caught. Now it is easy to arouse an entire state by telephone, and cause the arrest of all suspects until the thief is found. Since one telephone company covers all the states in the inter mountain COun- try they pay special attention to emer- GenCy messages intended to recapture stolen horses. The owners of horses seem to have come to the conclusion that it is better to spend their money for telephone tolls than to lay it out for insurance. In the past year we have had many owners of stock re- fuse to renew their policies saying that the presence of the telephone in their house was a practical form of instr

ance and that stealing stock would soon
 be thing of the past. Nearly all of
 them told of some incident where stol-
 en stock had been recaptured by the
 use of the telephone and at cost con-
 siderably less than our yearly premium.
 We used to charge pretty stiff rates
 but we have had to drop lower and lower as the telephone has come into more general use and now the own CTS of stock have come to have a con- tempt for the thieves knowing they can catch them easily"
 At the offices of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph company the statement was made that hundreds of captures of horse thieves who have been trying to run off live stock are made every year through their 690 tele- phone exchanges. In the seven western states in which the company operates, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Co., loradO. New Mexico and Arizona. stock stealing has diminished perceptibly in the past few years. The company sends in general alarm to all offices in the district when notified of the theft of stock and notifies the live live stock as- sOciations thus affOrding a special and peculiar service to the community simi- lar to that given by the law officers In great many cases the stock thief does not get a dozen miles from the ranch where his crime was committed before the telephone has warned the surrounding country and made his es- cape impossible. Evidence against him is secured by the telephone also, mak- ing his conviction certain It is esti- mated the stock recovered last year by use of the telephone amounted to more than a million dollars

IMPROVEMENTS
 AT BALL PARK
More Grandstand Going Up Much to Delight of Increasing Number of Fans. Three Good Games In One Week.

Manager Yates and Secretary Joe
 Kehoe announced last night that this week will see some important and necessary improvements will be made to Grant Park, the home of the Phoenix team in the Salt River Valley League. Arrangements were made yesterday for the lumber that will go into forty feet of extensions for the grandstand and for the purpose of making the present grand stand more comfortable and stronger. This work will be under the direct super
 vision of Manager Dick Yates, who knows something about those sort of things himself The addition will be made along the third base line
 The additions thus made to the capacity If the stand will mean in cold cash at the prevailing rate of admission providing they are filled every game $50 to the game In other words one hundred and sixty more good fans can get a seat, pur- chase a cushion if they are a mind to, and shout for the home team until they are black in the face.
 There are other improvements down at the park which meet the eye when the fans sits down and begins to lCOk over the fleld. IL IS nothing more nor less than the largest score board of it's kind in the country erected across the angle of the center field fence by Vic Hanny, the back of whose head shows above the score There are plenty of places for the figures to be made large enough and white enough so that they can be seen from the grand stand without n attempt at craning such as was necessary when the score board was behind the automobile park. It is quite likely also that another gate will be made so that autos can have an easy way of getting out without trying to coast all over the diamond.
 The coming week sees some good games here. All three teams of the league will play the Phoenix team here within the next week The HilI- billies come first with the Thursday afternoon enga cement, the last mid week matinee that the schedule calls tor, Sunday sees the pluCky MaroOns against the locals again. while Mon day, which is Labor Day, brings the heavy hitting, fast fielding Tempe az gregation back to the park for an cnga cement with the locals All in all the baseball horizon looks very busy, much to the delight of the bans
