II. Kunselman, at 33S North Third avenue about 8:15 o'clock last evening. The building was vnoeeui ied at the time, Kunsel man, together with- Lee Lone, bein-r in Utah on an automobil.-i trip while LADIES! LOOK YOUNG, DARKEN GRAY HAIR Use the Old-Time Sage Tea and Sulphur and Nobody Will Know. Gray hair, however handsome, de notes advancing age. ' We all' know the advantages of a youthful ap pearance. Your hair is 'your charm. , It makes or nuns the face. When It fades, turns gray and looks dry, wispy and scraggly, just ,a. few ap plications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its-appearance ;a hundred told. ; . ,. , Don't stay gray! Look, young! Either prepare the tonic at home or get from any drug store ,a 50 cent bottle of."Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy." Thousands of folks recommenj this ready-to-use prepa ration, because it darkens the hair beautifully and removes., dandruff, stops scalp itching and falling hair; besides, no one can possibly, tell, as It darkens , so naturally; and , evenly. You moisten a sponge, of soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another, application or two, its natural color, is restored and it becomes thick,, glossy and lustrous, and you appear - years younger. the remainder of the family is in California , during the summer months. When discovered the fire had gained such headway that there v. as little for the firemen to do but extinguish the flames which com pletely enveloped the structure and to prntoct surrounding property. The ringing of the Central school tell was the first intimation the fire men had that a fire was in progress. A ' minute later somebody telephoned that a building was burning in the 300 block on Xovth Third avenue. Box 25 was' sounded and the firemen made a quick run to the scene of the blaze. It is estimated that the loss will probably mount into several thousand dollars, as little, if any thing, was saved. The building and contents' were insured. The irony of fate figured in the fire of last evening, for only the day before, word was received here that Kunselman and Lee, Who had arrived at the Shebit Indian agency, twelve miles from St. George, Utah, and 100 mileS f.-om a railroad, had suffered . the loss of their car which had been burned. They were forced to make other arrangements to reach civilization. : o HAULING GRAVEL FOR THE GLENDALE ROAD The contract for hauling, the gravel to be used on the Glendale road was let yesterday at the office of the state engineer and the work of transporting material will begin today. J. D. Lee of Phoenix was the successful bidder for this part of the work. In ail 12,000 cubic yards of gravel will be distributed along the road In readiness for the actual work of road building. Of this amount 200 yards will be hauled from south of the city, and the remainder brought in by rail, prob ably from the vicinity of Tempe. Preliminary survey work on the road to the Sugar City was completed some time ago," and as soon as the material for the tweHly odd culverts is received and the gravel distributed, actual con struction work Will ' be begun. For some days past it has been rumored that the mysterious Mr. Raffles has been seen in Phoenix. Yesterday's developments made these rumors a certainty, for the light fingered gentleman was' seen by a number of different people and is known to be operating in this vicin ity. Raffles is one of the most in teresting characters to be found in this country. A born criminal, he is absolutely harmless and purloins things more for the excitement of eluding capture than for any actual value he gets from the results of his operations. A man who claims that he saw him last evening was acquainted withxhim in the east, and states that he cannot be mistaken. He was in the northern part of town, wearing a gray suit and apparently had on a black eye mask or large black glasses. If it really is Raffles there is a merry chase ahead for profes sional and amateur detectives, for he is always careful to leave a sem blance of a trail after his operations and takes care that the police are made aware of it and then matches his wits against theirs in the pursuit that invariably follows.

AND SUNDAY A most unaccomodating thief visited the home of Dr. D. L. Connor, west of town Tuesday evening,, not being satis fied with taking what he could fin? in the house, he took also with him the key to the house leaving the doctor cruelly locked outside. In addition to this inconvenience Dr. Connor is out a gold watch, and many other things of value as a result of the impolite visit. For some time past Dr. Connor has been in the habit of leaving the key to his house at a certain place, in hiding in fact, and since Mrs. Connor and the family are spending the vacation at Long Beach, the house is often left without anyone there for some hours during the doctor's business engage ments down town. Whoever the thief was, he knew where the key was hidden, and pro ceeded to help himself, getting into the house committing the depredations complained of and following that up by taking the key off with him. When Dr. Connor got back home he couldn't get within. Then followed the investiga tion and the discovery of the theft". secondISreIf ALICE JOYCE SERIES "The Show Girl's Glove," the sec ond picture of the Alice Joyce se ries of pictures that is being pro duced by the great Kalem company and which are being shown at the Lamara theater exclusively, will be shown there today and tomorrow. The success which has attended these pictures in other parts of the United States should draw heavily upon the numbers of the movie fans of the town and the theater com fortable, which is the Lamara, ought to be crowded to capacity all day to day and tomorrow. In this absorbing drama, Miss Joyce portrays the role of a wife who runs down- the perpetrator of a crime for which her husband faces the gallows. " According to the story, Dick Hampton breaks his engage ment with Stella Desmond, a show girl, when he makes some discov eries concerning her past. Pretend ing she is about to commit suicide, the . girl raises a knife. Dick seizes her hand and in the struggle is ac cidentally killed. " Stella contrives to have suspicion fall upon John, the murdered boy's brother, whom she hates. John is .. arrested. Mrs. Hampton visits the : scene of the crime and finds a woman's glove. A girl whom she has befriended sees the glove and informs Mrs. Hamp ton that her father, a ragpicker, has brought home a similar glove. Mrs. Hampton is led to suspect Stella and manages to secure a position as the show girl's maid. While thus em ployed, she arrange a denouement To the Voters of Arizona: Having an intimate knowledge of the many benefits derived by the business men, manufacturers and people generally of Ari zona, from the services of F. A. Jones on the Arizona Corporation Commission and as a member of this organization, the members of the Maricopa County Commercial Club have unanimously de cided to appeal to the people of the state in Mr. Jones' behalf. It was only at the earnest solicitation of hundreds of resi dents of the state that Mr. Jones decided to enter the contest for renomination on the democratic ticket for the position he now holds. His announcement was made at a late date, and for this reason has not received as much publicity throughout the state as it would had he presented his name earlier. ; , In all parts of the west Mr. Jones is recognized as one of the country's ablest traffic experts. Possessing as he does a full knowledge of rate-making and the many intricate points involv ed, he has proved of inestimable value to the people of the state as a member of the Corporation Commission. So much has been accomplished for the direct benefit of the people by the activities of Mr. Jones as a member of the Commission that we feel it would be a gross oversight on the part of our people to fail to nominate him at the coming primary election. The Maricopa County Commercial Club is not a political or ganization; neither is it the personal political machine of any man or set of men. The Club was organized some years ago for the purpose of doing everything possible to secure better and more equitable freight rates for the people of Arizona. With the able assistance of Mr. Jones we have succeeded to some ex tnt, and feel that only by his retention on the commission can the work thus begun be carried to a successful issue. Our Club has kept in close touch with all matters pertaining to freight reg ulation in Arizona. We know of the splendid work done by Mr. Jones and feel it is a duty we owe, both to him and to the people, to advise the voters of Arizona of the many things he has accom plished that have been of direct benefit to every man, woman and child in the state. ' In justice to Mr. Jones, we have decided to conduct a news paper publicity campaign, setting forth numerous concrete exam ples of savings of thousands of dollars made to the people-by his tireless efforts. It is but the object of the present letter to place Mr. Jones' name before the people as a candidate for nomination for Corporation Commissioner. In subsequent articles we will present facts and figures to bear out the statements we have made herein in his behalf. Ji-fL MARICOPA COUNTY COMMERCIAL CLUB. By Chas. Goldman, President W. L. Pinney, Secretary. (This is a paid advertisement, inserted and paid for by the mem. bers of the Maricopa County Commercial Club) which wrings a confession from the murderess.
