There Is an old adage which sa, that
Arizona was the last spot on earth to be
created; that Yuma Is the outpost Of the
neither regions, and the hottest place in
the world. Every one knows the story
Of the two soldiers who, while stationed
at Fort Yuma, died, and going straight
to Hades, returned In short time for
their bl llnkcts, Be that as it may there
can be no doubt that parts Of Southern
California and Arizona are among tile
hottest regions Of the world. Neither
the Desert of Cobb in Asia nor the Great
Sahara IN Africa can be worse. in this
respect than their small relative, the
Colorado Desert, in California a pro-
tracteI journey of some four weeks over
this desert gave me an excellent chance
to see 1t IN its worst aspect, and
purpose trying to give others an ac-
count OF its most interesting features.
The desert occupies almost the whole
of the large county Of San Diego. It
is some one hundred and fifty miles long
and fifty miles vide, and the Southern
Pacific Railroad runs through the center
of 1t, About sixty miles from Los An
geles the railroad encounters a very steep
grade one hundred to one hundred and
ten feet to the mile, and IT continues
for twenty-five miles At the summit,
known as San GorgonIo Pass. begins the
descent into the desert, and every mile
brings you to a more desolate country

from the summit, the desert commen

Cold Remedies.

While it Is easy to take cold III mid
summer colds are more prevalent when
low temperature prevails, though less
in clear, steady winter than during the
vAriaple spring and autumn. Catching
cold, is usually the result Of useY,n1lHH
Of temperature ia two parts Of the body,
especially adjacent parts, which distnrbs
the uniform circulation Of the blood.
At the place where the disturbance oc-
ours, congestion" arises, that Is, a rush
OF blood TO a part from one direction
faster than it Is carried of by the chilled
blood vessels in the other direction, and
this produces serious results II not speeu
ilv remedied This diseased condition
may extend over the whole body, affect
ing most severely any organ already
weak.
Thus q cold MAY come from damp Or
chilled feet; from even slight draft OF
air blowing through a crack, upon one
side or portion Of the body and cool
ing It; from s.ondIug near iire or stove,
and heating one side while the o.heI rc-
mains comparatively cold from warmer

other mild cathartic magnesia. This
produces a flow of fluid, drawn from the

reduces the pressure upon any one{con-
gested point, just rs drawing off part of
the water from a flooded pond relieves

George Larsener Fatally Wounded by an
Unknown Assassin.

AT ll;45 last night the people in the neigh.
borhood Of Fifth and n streets were startled
by the report Of pistol, immediately fol-
lowed by screams of murder. Parties living
near hasteued to the spot, and found a man
running about the street crying Murder
| am shot am shot !" The man proved to
be George Larsener, German, more IA
miliarly known as dutch George
be resides on the northwest corner OF
Fifth and N streets. He was assisted into
his honse, and parties sent for policemen and
doctors. They went to the nearest telephone,
Joseph Goddard's saloon, and the police and
doctors were soon at the scene of the at
tempted murder. The ball entered the left
sido at the sixth rio and penetrated the walls
OF the chest. By probing the ball could
not be detected, and the wound beyond doubt
will prove fatal. The party who fred the
shot made good his escape before assistance
came to the wounded man. Lsrsener described
the party and gave such information to the
police officers ar will lead to his arrest.
Larsener and his wife have been living In the
shanty in front of which he was shot for the
past six months. He for long time worked
at Tim SERVERS stables, and lat.erly has
been working in Orcutt's wool depot. His
wife sold whisky and beer, and those who
fIequented their place were of the lowest
class. Mrs. Larsener has been arrested a
number of times for drunkenness, and only
fant were sent by the police authori-
ties to the County Hospital. Last night,
when the reporter went into the building
to see the wounded man, he had to
pick his way through lot of rough-looking
fellows too full Of gin to realize what had
happened. A woman in the house was 80
drunk and wished to have SO much to say
that the Chief of Police had to send her
from the premises. The last account, just
before going to press, was that the wounded
man was still alive, but no hope was enter
tanned of his recovery. The police were

Tombstone Wafer Works Completed
Citizens Jubiiant.

TOMBSTONE, July Sth.-The new water
works of the Huachuca Company are now in
complete working order, and Tombstone peo-
pie are jubilant. The main supply comes
from natural springs and streams in the
Huachuca Mountains, the water being
damned up in two different canyons and
drawn by supply pipes to the main line.
Twenty-seven miles of pipe are laid. and the
company has facilities for furnishing 1,500,-
900 gallons daily. The reservoir in this city
is situated on the top of Contention Hill, and
has a capacity of 100000 gallons. The re-
servoir was hewn out Of the Gold rock and
the sides are lined with solid masonry. The
pipes are now laid through the principal
streets of the city, and ffty-two fre.plugs
will be in in few days. The danger of fire,
in consequence Of the new works, is not half
30 great as formerly. The pressure is ITO
pounds to the square inch. It is calculated
by cool business men that the successful com
pletion of the enterprise ia worth 81, COO 600
to Tombstone and S10,000,000 to Cochise
county. The pipe passes through fine
grazing and agricultural country only need
ing water for irrigating purposes. The COM
pany has sufficient water, and branch pipes
from the main line may be introduced for
irrigatiag purposes at any time. 1t 10
thought the quartz mills at Charleston and
Contention City will be moved here, now
that plenty of water for milling purposes can
be secured. Business men think insurance
rates will be reduced one-half on city prop
erty.

cusable ignorance. At one time the Judge
was not on speaking terms with many mem

mining suits were especially criticised, and
the effort was made to bring about his re-

probity, which could never be traced to a
reliable source, finally died out, and for the
past year there has been little talk about the
Court until these agents turned up and
opened the investigation, which they are
conducting very quietly. 1t is thought that
some other Federal officials are at the
bottom of the movement to get Hunter re-
moved, as he is not liked by them. The Bar
also would not object to change as regards
