The city election which w>s to have
taken place on i'uesday, failed to ma
terialize to any great extent. The
imprcKS’on prevailed among some that
the election should be held under the
provision of the old law unde* whieh
the city was incorporated, lienee the
polls were opened and the election
started out under that law. Others
held that the Australian ballot system,
should bs used and at about ten
o’clock District Attorney Williams
was telegraphed to and he confirmed
the lalter opinion, but said that not
withstanding that law hid not been
followed in the n »mination of the
candidates and in the beginning of the
election, it could be adopted and the
election proceed under it. The im-j
pression, however, prevailed to such
an extent among the electors that the
election would be illegal as none of
the provisions had up to this time,
been complied with, that it was de
cided by the elector-* present to de
clare the election off whieh was done.
New Years day in Mesa was warm
and bright, a typical winter day in
Southern Arizona. Ear!y in the day j
the people from city arid surrounding
country began to gather in to witness
the balloon asceus'on and parachute
jump which had been advertised to
take place at 2 o’clock. When the
time arrived, the streets were crowded
with people. The balloon was located
on the squa-e jus: west of the Free
Press office. In due time the >n 1i .ter
canva-s was filled with heated air and
was cut loose oearing the aeronaut
Prof. F. J Lee. The btlioon shot up
like a rocket to a bight of probably a
thousand feet when the professor cut
loose. The parachute opened beauti
fully and came down gracefully, land
ing about one block west of the start
ing point.
J V. Snainhower, who is expected
to arrive with his family shortly to
make his home here, writes to his son
from lowa, that the snow and ice are
gone but it has been raining three or
fnur days and there is lots of sickness
all over the country. He says that
notwithstanding the very great severi
ty of the winters, the snow, ice, rain .
wind and blizzirds, which seem to be
growing worse every year, there are
many people there who think he is
very foolish to go to Arizona where
such things are unknown.

the publishers can only afford to

etting a hundred thousand new sub
scribers. Among the authors in the
coming series are; Wilkie Collins,
Walter Besant, Mrs. Oliphant, Mary
Cecil Hay, Florence Marryat. An
thony Trollope, A. Canan Doyle, Miss
Brad Jon, Captain Marryat, Miss
Tiiackery and Jules Verne. If you
wish to take advantage of this unusual
opportunity, send one dollar for Staf
ford’s magazine, aud your first number
of the fifty-two novels (one each week)
which you are to receive during the
vear will be sent you by return mail.
