How the Bright School Children of Flagstaff Observed Wash ington's Birthday, Ills Memory Revered In Recitation and Sons Inspiring Exercises and Eloquent Tributes to the Greatness of the Father of Ills Country. "Ills life was gentle; and the elements So mlx'd In him thnt Nuturo might stand up And say to all the world, 'This was a maul'" The littli! old public school house, endeared to m.wy by tender associa tions and fond recollections, was ar rayed in its best holiday attire last Friday afternoon when a large number of citizens assembled to hear the Wash ington's birthday program of exercises, which had beon prepared with zealous earn by the teacheis and pupils. The honest face of the Father of His Coun try, whose portrait was entwined in the ample folds of the gloiious emblem of Libert, beamed upon the gathering from one of the walls, while gentle Martha smiled benignly from the other side. The pictures of these two fam ous characters of history, so roverenced and beloved by the American people, seemed to shed asweet benison upon the struggling disciples of learning, and the all-pervading spirit of pitriotism was gcnorouslv demonstrated in the enthusiasm displayed by tlio little men and women who will one day take their places in the various walks of life for which thoy are now fitting them selves. The occasion was ono of peculiar joyousness to all to tho teachers, ue- cause they saw that the excellent re sults of a noble calling are appreciated by tho parents of the children; to the pupils, becauso it was a brief and agreeable recreation on thu weary way to the graduation goal; and to the vis itors, because it was a gladsome rest nt the shrine of memort, a chonl of whose music was tuangi-d at sight of the many happy youngfaees peepingabovo tho school desks, the impressive "chalic talks" of thu blackboard, the slates and pencils and the paraphernalia of the school room, sans tho far-reaching birch wielded by tho well-muscled. stern-visaged male teacher, such as once presided over tho decstrecct skule. Tho piesenco of Comrades D. M. Riordan. J. Gulhrio Savage, Edward Cress, L. L. Burns, J. C. Milligan and J. R. Lockett of the G. A. R., was a touching reminder of tho glorious principles of patriotism for which they fought, aud Mr. Riordan in a few graceful remarks recalled thrilling in cidents of the battlefield of Gettysburg. The excellent showing mado by the pupils of thu various departments was a splendid tribute to tho worth of their teachers Misses Beardsley, Smith and Brannen and thu directors of tho school also deserve their full measure of praise that the school has reached its present superior standard. From the little toddler, lisping his rhyme with bashful mien, to the embryo orator, emboldened by the presence of his friends and a growing pair of lungs, all recited surprisingly well, and a trio of little maids with well-trained voices showed that music is not one of the lost arts in Flagstaff. The life of George Washington from tho cradle to the grave, with all its lessons of truth and nobleness of character, was pre sented iu a vivid, eutertaiuiug manner, and the audience of big folks had a linn opportunity to refresh their memories in regard to his private lifo and deeds of valor. Some of the town's representative citizens caught the fervor of the eele bra.tiou from the children, aud at the Invitation of Miss Beardsley, these gentlemen responded pleasantly: Al. Doyle, D. M. Riordan, N. G. La) ton, Rev. T. C. Moffett, Oscar. Gibson, E. S. Clark, Rev J. T. Pierce. Dr. D. J. Braunen. s&sfltiMtesV "-Follou ng Is tho rilOGRAMME: Sonjt "Amorlca."

Dear friends, wj know you all have como To help us honor Washington, Tho Father of our Nation, a nobleman so grand. He deigned to cast away a crown that we might freemen stand. His dust now mingles with tho earth he freed from tyrant chain. Yet wo rejoice his name to voice o'er bill and vale and plain. And still we'll honor Washington with happy, hearty cheer, Still on und on we'll do the same through each succeeding year. Then shout "Hurrah" for Washington a nobleman so grand He proudly scorned a proffered crown that wo might freemen stand. Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrihl Post Adjutant J. Guthrie Savago has addi essed a timely letter to C. C. Jones, A.Mutnnt General G. A. R., Rockford, III., of which the following is au ex tract: "Washington's birthday was more generally observed than any heretofore in tho history of Flagstaff. The clergy, bench, bar, judicial, municipal, civic, executive authorities and press, and several members of Ransom Post No. 4, in uniform, and the members of our school board were all in attend ance. The exercises were patriotic and far iu advance of that of tho pre vious year in rendition and militaiy evolution. "Tho clergy gave good words of cheer to the school board, teacheis and pupils of our school and the patents seemed deeply interested iu the success attained." A Dordor Atrocity. D. J. Cummiugs, justice of tho peace at Nugales. writes Governor Hughes, asking him to offer a reward for detec ting the murderers of Filomcuo Bergo uio, who was murdered on Sunday, February 10, within a mile and a half of Nogales. His body was found four days later by a sheep herder in tho em ploy of Charles Beck, in a dry nrroyo. It presented a horrible sight. Bcrgonio had been shot iu the back, and his bead bc.iton to a jelly with a coupling pin. Dry brush and sticks were piled on the body, saturated with coal oil and ig nited. The body was thus buruetl be yond recognition, but was recognized by tho shoes, stockings, coat and shirt, which were under thu body and had escaped combustion. The deceased left a widow and four small children. This is tho fourth murder committed in that section since 1892 and no arrests have been made. Gazette. "Out In tho Streets." "Flagstaff mud," remarked a tourist, as ho vainly endeavored to rescue hh goloshes from the swim, "is unpleas antly affectionate. It sticks to a fel low like a poor relation. I don't mind investing in a little real estate once in awhile, but the real estate hero seems to have a fluctuating tendency. It is on tho street to-day and all over a fel low's clothes to-morrow. A crosswalk seems harder to find than the proverb lil needle iu a ha) stack, and I might venture a suggestion to your city council to advertise for bids for tho boating privilege." And tho visitor wiped a huge slather of loamy, porous foil from the super structure of his nose, and stepped high. LEVI STRAUSS & CO'? mSJL.

An item reciting the iuf:rmation that the Navajo Indian of Arizona are iu so pitiful a state of destitution that thoy have been compelled to eat their blankets raw has made several rounds of the ten itonal press. Tho presence in town Saturday and Sunday of sev eral fat bucks astride well-fed ponies ought to be sufficient evidence to choke off the paragraph before it makes the boiler plate ciicuit. These Indians brought in with them a fine assortment of Navajo blankets which they disposed of at various places about town. Although nut versed in the Navajo lingo, Harry Hox worth coutiives to make enough dumb show to get along swimmingly with his copper-colored customers. They can dtive a hard bargain, and are always loth to part with the dinero, of which they seemed well possessed upon this occasion. When the noble red men rode away to their homes iu the hills their packs were well stocked with Hour and coffee, and that they a to not stinting themselves of luxuries was shown when thoy purchased canned peaches, condensed milk and sichlike. Some of the festive masqueradeis of Friday night inveigled the poor In dians into swapping a choice lot of moccasins for cheap ball room cos tumes, and the children of tho bills picsented ti stiikingly picturesque effect as they rode away draped in the gaudiest, colors Imaginable. They had considerable money remaining after doing their shopping, and there was every indication of prosperity, as pros peiitygoes with Indians. Yet the In tel ior department at Washington has opened its money vaults to give two dudes a nice trip to Arizona to invest! gate tho condition of the "starving Navajo Indians." The contingent that was hcie this trip came all the waj from the Navajo reservation, a dis tance of 125 miles. Her Life Wns Saved. A piercing scieam tore tho air into shreds in the vicinity of the Bowery the other calm, moonlit evening. It was a cry of distress, uttered in a clear sopraua voice that must have succeeded in crossing tho high Cs at somo time in its wild career. "Help! Help!" she cried, and strong mcu aud small boys rushed to the scene, in the center ot a street cross ing stood a womau iu dismay. She was also in a quandary, but apparently she would have much preferred to have beon In a cairiage or it sloop yacht or anything that would have carried her away ever so far. For the poor lady was bounded on the north, east, south and west by livulets of increas ing rage and turbulence. She had stepped up to the an Kin in a pool, and as there were several other pools to encouuter, and wishing to preserve the other ankle, she just stood on a little mound of earth and yelled for help. Brave hearts lent willing aid. A raft was procured, one of the rescuing party did the Sir Walter Raleigh act with his coat, and the maiden all for lorn walked lightly and joyously to terra lirma, duly grateful that she had beeu saved from a watery grave.

In the Verde valley in this county, thero are hundreds of thousands of acres of as fertile land as the sun ever ?honc on, and enough water passes down the ever flowing Verde river to irrigate the whole of it Courier. From our local exchanges from every section of Arizona we gather the in formation that the range is everywhere good, and that good feed will prevail, and also the additional fact that cattle are scarcer than for years.

The roads even for miles are flooded and almost impassable. The mesa has not been for years so blessed with such au abundance of water. But for the new canal constructed by Dr. A. J. Chandler, our entire country would be without water during tho present high water in the river. Mesa Free Press.

Two miles from camp the pistol belt broke aud, as it fell, the gun went off, sendiug a bullet into tho miner's left side. On regaining consciousness he crawled back upon hands and knees to camp. H.
