Daniel Kendrick and Della Robinson
were married Saturday evening at 8
o’rloek at the parsonage of the Phoe-
nix M. E. church by Rev. Alexander
Wagner. iAter they went to the resi-
dence of Allen Smith, 21 Hast Madison
street, which will be their home for
the present. Both the contracting par-
ties are residents of Phoenix, the
groom going there a few months ago
and the bride some time before.
Charles Swiggett of the eighth
grade of the Osborn school Is said to
have passed the best examination of
any of the applicants for admission to
the Tempo normal school this year,
having secured what is technically
known as three A’s. The story of this
boy's performance is being widely cir-
culated by C. B. Wood, one of the
trustees of the school, to show that
there is no good reason why people liv-
ing In that district should endeavor to
secede from It as at least two of the
membera of the district are now doing.

Claude Doane, who is tinder indict-
ment in McKinley county for the mur
der of M'altcr I.yons, a school teacher
near Ramah, New Mexico, last June,
and who Is held In the penitentiary
at Santa Fe for satc-kceping, is said
to have told the officers a fresh story
of the murder of Lyons, in which
bo seeks to shift suspicion from him-
self. According to the story of an
officer of the mounted police, Doane
now declares that the two Mormons
who showed the officers the trail
taken by Doane, and who found the
body of the murdered man, are the
men who kllied Lyons. The story is
not given a great deal of attention l>y
the officers. The evidence against
Doane is said to be growing stronger
as the time for his trial approaches.

THE END OF A GRIMY EPISODE.
A Philadelphia paper say* that if
the Delaware news arriving in Phila-
delphia newspaper offices theae days
is trustworthy, J. Edward Addicks
may as well charge the time and cash
he has spent in the pursuit of that
seat In the senate to profit and ioss,
and turn down the leaf,
His right-hand man in Delaware
politics for years past has bceu J.
Frank Alice—a much smoother, clev-
erer politician than himself. He made
Alice chairman of his state commit-
tee and a United State* senator At
fhe Delaware capital, Sunday of this
week, a correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Press had a talk with Alice.
"1 would be false to myself and dou-
bly false to Mr, Addicks,” said Alice,
“were I, in the face of undeniable
and (as I knowl unalterable condi-
tions, to lead him on in the belief or
even In the hope that he can be elect-
ed a United States senator from Dela-
ware That Hope is dead,” The cor-
respondent reports that Alice has hi*
state committee with him In this
view of the matter, and also such
former Addicks lieutenants as ex-
| Governor John Honn, Dr. Caleb R.
l-ayt n. Dr. Thomas C. Moore and
Magistrate Francis E Bradley of Wil-
mington. He reports that the two
kinds of Delaware Republicans are
now fraternizing in public places, and
that as regards the senatorshlps
they’ll probably come to an •livable
j agreement and division—with Ad-
dick* barred out
The rat tribe is always represent-
ed in politic*, and J Frank Alice—
as seen from this distance—looks an
interesting specimen. The definite
failure -of ».n attempt to buy a seat
in the United States senate is always

EXTRAVAGANCE IN COLLEGE
LIFE.
The president of Leiand Stanford
university, California, In his address
to the Incoming class, condemned the
growing extravagance of college life
and advanced some very good reasons
why extravagant habits were Injurious
to the completeness of u college train-
ing. Hu is not the first among the
heads of our leading collegiate institu-
tions to dwell upon tills fact., and the
subject is a most timely one. and one
deserving careful consideration. It is
to be feared that students whose par-
ent* have the means to gratify the
most, expensive tastes have set a
standard of living and expenditure
that it wholly beyond the purses of
most people who send their sons to
college.
The country has rimny colleges, but
among them there are certain older
nnd well established ones which ail
young men would like to attend, If
possible. These institutions, by rea-
son of their wealth and large patron-
age, are able to secure the best in-
structors and no doubt give a more
complete and rounded nut education
than It is possible for smaller colleges
to furnish. Their diploma* carry with
them more prestige than do those of
others where the course of instruc-
tion may lie Just as thorough, They
have a prominence and popularity that
attract students to them. Many of
these students arc of wealthy families
to whom expenditures wholly Impos-
sible to people In ordinary clruum
stances are matters of but little
moment. This has led to ways of liv-
ing ami diatoms in which poorer
students cannot join without an often
serious drain upon the purses of those
who send themi there. It is but natural
that the young men should want to
"keep their ends up.” using a com-
mon phrase, and Just as natural that
parents, with not unworthy pride,
should pinch themselves to provide
the money with which to do this.
There are very many cases, how-
ever, in which they are unable to do
so, and if the extravagance continues
to grow the result may be that before
long only the wealthy few will attend
these universities. The faculties of
some of these Institutions complain
now of the multiplying of colleges all
over the country, and lament the fact
that Instead of thelr\ being a few great
universities, thoroughly equipped,
there are very many small and weak
institutions unable from poverty and
little patronage to give that education
the college is intended to supply. This
is doubtless true to some extent, but
it may have its root in the fact that
people who seek a collegiate course
for their sons cannot pay the money
nereasary to maintain them at thoae
institutions where wealth has act the
pace in the way of extravagance. They
naturally turn to the smaller and less
expensive college*, and while this
multiplication of such institutions may
in some degree weaken the entire col-
legiate system it will not end until
there 1* a general return to simpler
way*. ;■ ■. \ • j
That Japanese rebellion was nipped
In the bud arid will be forgotten before
the soldiers can get back home.
Admiral Nebagotoff does not In-
tend to get off to Russia If he can
help it. He believes he can live
longer and more happily in Japan.
Word was telegraphed all over the
country last week that the president
had gone to a picnic. Mr. Roosevelt's
lays appear to lie one long protracted
picnic.
Just as the women return from the
seashore and mountains (he millinery
stores begin to display the new fall
styles. And as usual they are the
"dearest things" and must be had.
Tom Lawson’s panic billed by him
to strike Wall street last Saturday
was side tracked somewhere. There's
a suspicion that Tom's panic miscar-
ried and landed in the treasurer’s of-
fice ut Austin.

SOME CURIOS AND ODDITIES.
Not a single newspaper haR even
intimated that Mr. Loomis made a
imstake in resigning. But quite a
number have taken occasion to re-
mark that the president made a mis-
take In appointing him to office.
And now a panicky doctor 1ms dis-
covered that hand-shaking Is Injurious
lo the health nnd should be abolished
as an expression of friendly greeting.
It's nil tommy rot, ami we are not go-
ing to give np the handclasp that
speaks more eloquently than words,
The two-step, that dance which re-
sembles nothing so much as a cow
trotting. Is dead. That Is what the
American Society of Professors of
Dancing declared In annual conven-
tion last week. “The two-step is a
slovenly skip entirely barren of grace
and belongs to Ihe Bowery” Is the ver-
dict of the dancing masters.

readers to suggest ways for John D.

The rebels in German East Africa
are still destroying villages and caus-
ing missionaries and other foreigners
to flee for their lives. Taken alto-
gether, Germany seems to have poor
success In the African colonization
business. Baron von Nettolbladt. a
German just returned from the scene
of the troubles, says: “In my Judg
ment, the whole of German East
Africa will never support more than
■i0,000 to 50,000 people, and the $100,-
000,000 or more which Germany has
already spent in suppressing the re-
bellion Is worth more than the whole
country many time* over."

To Reopen the Univeraltiee.
8t. Petersburg. Sept, It,—In accord-
unce with the Imperial order of April
29, the ministry of education will
Thursday open the varlou* universi-
ties and other institution* of learning
which were closed In February on ac-
count of the strike of the students,
who demanded political reforms and
a thorough modification of the admin-
istration of the universities.
Although several thousand students
have made application for ad mission,
It Is feared that the opening of the
universities will lead to outbreaks
among the radical students and extra-
ordinary precautions have been taken
to suppress such outbreaks. The radi-
cal and socialistic .student* are much
embittered over the fact that the gov-
ernment has made no changes in the
administration of the universities.
"My daughter," lie said gravely,
"goes lo Bryn Mawr college. There
she learns many things that don't
show and one thing that d es--name-
ly. slang.
"Bryn Mawr college slang appears
to be me to be Insipid, shall 1 say
foolish} Where is the Renso, for In-
stance, In saying, ’She 1s all flossied
up,' when you mean. 'She has her
best clothes on?’ To flossy, in the
sense of to trick out Ihe person, la
a prevalent Bryn Mawrism.
'“To fuss,’ is another Bryn Mawr-
Istn. They say there ‘She Is fussed,’
when they mean a girl Is confused.
They say ‘He Is fussing her,' when
they mean a youth Is paying courj
to a young lady. Senseles*. isn’t It,
this abuse of a good old word?
‘“A hefty lover,’ Is a handsome
youth. Tmok at the hefty lover,’ they
say, at which the hefty lover, if he
understands the meaning of the
phrase, should feel rather flattered.
"So goes the slang of Bryn Mawr.
’Flossied up' and 'fussed' and ‘hefty
lovers’ and »o on. Slang, to live,
should tie witty, appropriate. There-
fore, It Is sate to say that of Bryn
Mawr is doomed."

will visit the newly driven wells and
later make a report to the head offi-

Oil Is supposedly barred from operat-

there are ways by which it may con-
trol Mexico's output as it ha« the
output of every other place where
oil has been discovered since the

It is expected other contracts will bp

are approved. Within throe months
It is believed construction work will
be commenced at Mazatlan and push-
ed northward. When the line on
which work is now begun reaches the
Yaqul river It will bo extended to-
ward Alamos as rapidly as possible
and simultaneously the line up the
Yaqul river toward Touichi will be
under construction. Within a year
the company expects to have 300
miles of new railway in operation in
southern Sonora.
Traffic men in Mexico do not look
for such another month as August
and July have been for some time.
Because of the anxiety of merchants
to get across the border big ship-
ments vif many classes of goods bo-
fore the new duties went Into effect
on the night of August 31, the plac-
ing of orders during the laBt two
months was exceptionally heavy The
railroads did their best to get these
shipments south of the border in time
and the result has been that the re-
ports of the freight men indicate that
the amount of freight hauled during
July was heavier than it has been
in any July for many years. The re-
ports for August will not be in for
about a week, but It is believed that
the shipment*, that month will cause
August, 1905. to be remembered as a
record freight mouth. It is not ex-
pected that the freight movement will
be large this month, for as much of
the imported merchandise as possible
was crowded into the last month.

The experiment station has just re-

ly prepared bacteria for Inoculating
alfalfa seed. In order to make a wide
test of this treatment in Arizona the
station will treat seed free of charge
if left at the experiment farm on
Grand avenue before September 22.
No seed can be treated after this
date as the station has only one lot
of bacteria, which must be used up im-
mediately when once made up. After
inoculation the seed is dried and may
be kept two or three months without
Injury. This treatment Is expecetd to
do better on new land than on land
that already produces good alfalfa. On
the latter ft probably will produce no

It is the sense of the board that said
plans should be so modified as to in-
crease the height of said dam by twen-
ty feet and this council earnestly re-
quests that such modification be made.
