 The measure relating to the divi- sion of counties into supervisoral dis tricts did not at first encounter much opposition and it appeared that there was less when MT. McGrath explained that it changed the present law only in respect of the date when the super visors should act. But that served to call attention to what were regarded as defects in the existing law and the bill was sent back to the committee on counties and county affairs.
 Several other measures of minor importance were disposed of and the committee rose and made its report to the house when an adjournment was taken to ten o'clock this morning.
 In The Senate

MT. Sims gave notice that he would move for reconsideration of the vote by which the resolution was adopted
 In the morning session of the com mittee of the whole the two platoon bill providing for two shifts of firemen and the promotion of those engaged in fire departments was recommended for indefinite postponement, the motion having been made by MT. Curtin, the introducer of the bill. Though no statement was made in the committee it was understood that an arrange ment had been entered into between the city commission of Phoenix and the members of the fire department Tn bill authorizing boards of super visors to fill vacancies in the legis- lative delegations from their respective counties was favorably recommended. Indefinite action was taken on the measure providing for cooperation be- 1 tween the state and the federal gov ernment in opposing diseases in cattle. Mir. Scott's tariff memorial was ap- 1 proved.
 | New bills in the senate were: 1 Senate bill 61. by MT. Schleimer regulating the insurance business. This 1 is copy of the Kansas law. Senate bill 62, by MT. Sims, propos- ing an amendment in respect to judi
 cial pleadings.

 Both Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Akers were home at the time of the fire. They discovered the blaze after it had gained strong headway at the rear of the house. It had spread beyond contro1 of the limited fire fighting facilities of the ranch.
 The flames spread with such rapid ity that the women found 1t impossible to save any of the contents of the house and were forced to flee for their own safety. Within 30 minutes from the time the fire was discovered the entire structure was ablaze. Mrs. Miller estimates the loss at about $1o000. about $1,000 o (which is covered by in-- surance.

WIGHT SCHOOL HAS
 NEW ENGLISH CLASS

A new class was formed last night at the night school now being conducted at the high school. for those who de- sire work in practical English as used in social and business life. The work will appeal to those who want training in practical sentence and paragraph structure, the correct use of punctua- ton marks, and drill in the spelling of the most used words which are so often mis- spelled. To make the course practical the work will be snappy, and only the things which are most needed in everyday written work Will be

 The class will meet three nights week, beginning at TAO o'clock and continuing until S:3O o'clock, and is open to any one desiring the work who has had most of the grammar school education or more. The class meets in room 115 in the building on the corner of Fifth street and Van Buren.

WONDERFUL NEW YORK GIRLS

ordinary London girl and her opposite

works in the Strand and lives at VIM
bledon, fades out Of the picture after
her work is done. but Irene, who tars
away downtown" rushes home by
train or subway. gets into her best
clothes, and projects to have q good
time.
Her vitality is extraordinary. She
never seems tiled. and to see a car
riage full Of New York gills In the
evening chuckling over Mutt and
Jefr' and the scores of comics which
the evening papers contain is sight
calculated to give the grumpiest OF rs
q more cheerful outlook on life.
She always seemed tc me to be a
thing for admiration, because New
