 Work is progressing nicely on the new Bemis residence on the corner of East Elm and Third Streets. The frame work is up and work on all parts of the structure is being done.
 The meeting at the city park is still in session and large crowds attend every meeting. Prayer services are being held each afternoon at some business house. It is probable that the revival will continue throughout next Sunday.
 L. J. Griffith now has a num- Der of frst-class rigs and good horses that he is offering to the public. His place of business is in the old Blake stable on West Second Street and he solicits a share of your patronage. His main hobby is to satisfy his GUS toners.
 A two reel feature at the Gem tonight is ''The Weakling." This is strongly moral lesson and is one of Kalem's best produc- tions. Alice Joyce and Tom Moore are featured in the play and you will enjoy it-three shows, beginning at ' o'clock-5 and 10 cents. Advt.
 Manager Hardy of the Gem theatre was greeted again last night by a full house to see the 4th episode of the Million Dol lar Mystery" This great mo- tion picture story is shown at the Gem once a week-Wednes- day nights and is giving all the |patrons satisfaction. There was another good picture also shown last night. The price for these Wednesday night shows is reg ular-5 and 10 cents.
 Painters and tile layers are busy at work on the Bank of Prescott building and will finish this part of the work this week. A delay in the progress has been caused on account of the marble front and interior having failed to arrive. The front and nearly all of the interior furniture will be of marble. When this is re- ceived it will take only a short time to complete the entire job and then Prescott will have one of the prettiest modern and most convenient banking houses to be Hound anywhere.

Shanghai, China-American citizens
residing in China may now obtain di-
vorceS there. The necessity of citi-
zens of the United States residing In
China taking a 10000 mile trip to a
state court in order to institute divorce
proceedings has been obviated by what
is considered one of the most import
ant decisions handed down in the
United States court for China. The
decision. made recently here by Judge
Charles S. Lobingier in the case OF
Tahaim Hashimoto Cavanaugh VS.. S.
ID. Worden overrules that of the former
judge who had declared the court
which ranks as a United States dis
trict court-lacked jurisdiction. The
new judge granted a decree of divorce
10 the plaintiff, the first since the
founding of the court. He based his
decision upon the case of Biddle vs.
the United States. Oct. %, 1907, which
held that the United States court
for China could go to legislation which
congress had enacted for Alaska and
the District of Columbia and assume
the same Jurisdiction as granted by
congress to courts in these territories.
