CHEF DR|SbO|S |S BACK AFTERV|S|T ID
 TOWN fOF HIS YOUTH

Chief of Police George o. Brisbois
 has come to town for the fair. At least
 that is what he said yesterday when
 he stepped off the train and took deep
 breath, the first in Phoenix for about
 three weeks. He had just completed Q
 trip that took him to the Atlantic coast
 and into Canada. And despite the fact that he saw many sights while he was absent, that caused him to marvel, he admitted that after all he was glad to be back on the job.
 Three weeks ago United States Mar shal Joseph P. Dillon left for Chicago with several alleged 1. W. w. agitators, indicted by the federal grand jury in the Windy City. Among others he en- l listed the services of Chief Brisbois to | aid him in landing his men where they were wanted And then Brisbois took advantage of his presence in Illinois to ! go a little farther Before he returned he had visited his former home in l Northampton, Mass, had called on a | brother in the navy at Boston, saw an-
 other brother in Bridgeport, Conn.,, had made a hurried trip 70 New York, to | Niagara Falls, across the line into | Canada and had made his presence felt | in Buffalo.
 | Of course the greatest pleasure ex- | perienced during the whole trip was | when he wandered down the streets in his old home town. ciasped his aged
 mother to his breast, spent few even | ings swinging on the gate with old time sweethearts and told the boys in
 the mill how he had graduated from baseball and was now the head Of the | police department in the capital city | of the southwest.
 And now that he has returned, Chief Brisbois has jumped into the work of arranging to handle the big crowds | that are expected at the fair today and
 every day this week. He says he has
 had a good vacation and is feeling really fit.''

school grounds, will be the scene of much merriment and good nature.
 An enormous crowd is anticipated, as ths shows made good on the open ing night, Saturday, with the lovers of clean and up-to date -amusements. There is just enough spice and ginger in the performances presented at the various tented theater to make the performances interesting and at the same time within the keeping of moral bounds.
 From today, every afternoon and night all of the many shows will be open, and until the midnight hour old and young may leave dull care behind to enjoy the many attractions the Ari- zona State Fair Carnival has to offer.
 Tonight is Newsboy night at the carnival every hustler of The Repub- lican is to be the guest of the manage ment of the Wortham Bros. Shows. Tho future governors and senators Of the country will take in all the won ders and mysteries, laugh at the funny clowns, ride on the big merry go round, and in fact be monarchs of all that they will survey

MY THE PAPER WAS
 TARDY YESTERDAY

The work of getting out a 40-page edition and adjusting new and exten- sive machinery occasioned a.. delay of some hours in the appearance of The Republican yesterday morning. To make matters worse, one of the two telephones of this office went out of commission so that many subscribers who called failed to receive a response. Some of them, it is learned, believed that their calls were purposely ignored. That was not the case, for boys were especially employed to answer all calls and explain the cause of the delay.
 This thing, in all probability, will not happen again. The Republican will be so well prepared to issue that subscribers who wanc 10 read the paper ias soon as it arrives at their homes will have to get up pretty early, and so will lose lot of sleep.

Mary removed from her neck a

celebrate the occasion. Jim Darby
