DROPPED DEAD ON THE STREET.


A seusatiuD was caused among the resi-
dents Of the west end of Coal street at about
six o'clock last night by a man dressed in
mining Clothes and apparently ON his way
home from work, dropped dead ON the street.
The man fell ON the pavement on the south
side and little east of Gilbert street. He
dropped without uttcring word and death
evidently occurred iustantaneously. Several
men who were in the vicinity, also on their
home from work, stopped to offer assistance,
supposing that the man had fallen in fit,
but he was beyond all human aid The body
remained on the pavement for over an hour,
as no one would remove it until the authori-
ties could be notified. Many people viewed
the remains, but none could identify them.
Shortly after seven o'clock Deputy Coroner
Manley and Undertaken Snyder came upon
the scene. 1t had been reported that the de-
ceased was Pole, Lithuanian, or Hungarian
After brief examination of the clothing
Snyder said the deceased was of neither
nationality, As no one appeared to claim the
remains Deputy Coroner Manley ordered
their removal to the lookup. This was DONE
but soon after the body was identified as that
of Andrew McGever, a mine laborer board
ing on West Centre street. He was about AZ
years of age and has a wife and several
children, but for several years has been
separated from his family. 1t is believed
death was caused by heart disease.

Flag Raising RivnlrY.

About month ago George Kuocht and
Harry Defrehne, of Brandonvlle, arranged
to raise flag at the school house at that
place, and at the appointed time many people,
including members of the Jr. o. L. A. NJ,
of this town, Nuremburg and Riugtown, and
the Ringtown band assembled at the school
house, but the flag failed to 90 up ON account
of the emblem failing toarriye. Subsequently
the members Of the Jr. o. L. A. NJ. pur-
chased flag and decided to raise it on the
school house on Thanksgiving day. Learn
ing of this movement, Knecht and Defrehne
decided to head it off by raising the flag to-
night, but the Jr. o. L, A. NJ. members were
equally alert and early this morning they
planted pole in the school yard and un.
furled old glory before the rival party had
swallowed their breakfas

Interesting Newspnner.

7. NJ. Hutchison, proprietor of the Fergu-
son House, has several very interesting
copies of newspapers which he has received
from his venerable mother, who resides at
Sunbury. They are copies of the Union
County Star and Lewisburg Chronicle pub
lished in December 1850, and their receipt at
this period, close after the recent presidential
campaign, is the more interesting, as the
papers devote considerable space to the first
election Of President Lincoln and also gives
President Buchanan's last message to Con-
gress.

Senators Arriving at Washington.

NAsHllGTON, Nov. Members Of the
seadtc nre coming to Washington each
day, and from interviews with each Of the
arrivals it is apparent that the senators
expect little routine legislation, including
the passage Of the annual appropriation
bills, ut the short session of congress.
Senator's Cocllrell of Missouri and Hawlcy
of Connecticut both gave expression to
this opinion today, and both likewise
agreed in the opinion that nothing need
be expected at the coming session in the
way Of helping along an international BIZ
metallic conference. Senator Hawley does
not believe the Dingley bill will be en-
acted into law.

A Monster Reservoir.

Chief Engineer Geo. w. Norton, o the State of Arizona Improvement Company, with headquarters in this city has just completed the survey and maps of a monster reservoir for his company, 15 miles up the Colorado river on the Arizona side. It covers 3,6O2 acres of land and has capacity of 26,0 ,096 acre feet of water. It is sit uated between Laguna mountain and the point of mountain at Gates min- ing district.
 The land comprising the reservoir site is all low and subject to annual overflow from the Colorado river and at the present time is worthless.
 Engineer Norton informs us that nature has all but built the canal and with the expenditure of a small amount of money in building a levee along the Colorado river, 22;0OO feet in length, the reservoir will be com pleted.
 On the north, east and south the reservoir is encircled by the mountains known as Laguna and Gates point.

will it MaterialiZe?

MT. Harry G. Hinckley, of Sar
 Francisco and brother-in-law of Mrs
 Florence Blythe Hinckley, arrived
 here Tuesday. MT. Hinckley left by
 private conveyance the following day to examine large tract of land sit uated opposite Ehrcnberg up the Col orado river, now owned by his sister in-law. It comprises some 10000 acres of as fine land as can be found any where. Mrs. Blythe inherited it from her many times millionaire father, Col. James T. Blythe, and who prior to his death was actively en- gagged colonizing it. Had not death intervened this fertile tract of land to day would be enjoying high state of cultivation and supporting thousands of people.
 Nothing was learned of MT. Hinck- ley's intentions or the object of his visit, but it is rumored that the daughter will take up the enterprise her father was not permitted to ac- complish by the relentless hand of death and carry it to completion.
 Should this rumor prove true and the monster enterprise of retaining this vast desert be resurrected and ac- complished it will be the dawning of an era of prosperity that Yuma and her pioneer citizens have long waited for and who are justly entitled to the reward for their many years of toll and hard ship that will be theirs on the colonization of tbis large and fine tract of land.

and skin diseases are frequently not skin diseases at all. All the lotions and bleaches and creams and powders in the world won't make 2 good complexion if the digestion is wrong. If the stomach is sour, and the liver torpid and the bowels constipated, the skin will show it. No use trying to treat the skin for such condition. The only way to relieve it is to cleanse the sys- tenn and purify the blood. As long as the heart is pumping impurities to every part of the body, just so long these impurities will show through the skin.
 Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is good for the complexion because it makes the whole body healthy-because it clears and purihes the blood, makes the digestion strong and clears out impurities of all kinds. By increasing the ability to assimilate nutritious food, and by the in fusion of its own ingredients, it enriches the blood and so makes solid, HeaIthv flesh 1t fills out the hollows, rubs out wrink- les and substitutes for sallowHess a rosy, healthy glow. There is no mystery about 1t. 1t isn't a miracle. It is merely the re- suit of a combination of rational, natural common sense with expert medical knowl- edge. It cures diseases of the lungs, liver, stomach, bowels, skin and scalp, simply because all these diseases spring from the same cause-a disordered digestion and consequent impure blood. Don't let pFeju- dice and scepticisu cheat you out of your health. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery will positively cure you, if suffering from diseases named above.

School Exercises.

Thursday afternoon the closing ex- ercises by the little ones of our public school took place in front of the school house at 4 80 o'clock. A large number of parents, relatives and friends were present. The May pole part of the program was something new for thls section and the intricate movements were very prettily gone through by the little tots.
 The singing and recitations were also good and the parents of the little ones can we'll feel proud of their chil dren and teachers.
 Attorney Wright delivered mast erlv address in dignified manner to the class at the close of the exercises.
 Last evening the graduating enter tainment by the pupils of the gram mar department of our public school took place in O'Toole's hall.
 Although the night was a disagree able one, the wind blowing almost hurricane and the air being filled with sand, the hall was packed by those interested in the pupils about to graduate.
 Jamie Rau, Edna Greenleaf, Con- stance Mayes, Isaac Godfery, Saragosa Mendez, Frank Ramirez. George de Corse, John Gandolfo, Frank Thurlow and Alfredo Molina were the grad uates for this year.
 The program rendered, consisted of songs, recitations, essays and instru- mental music.
 The young people performed their different parts in an exceedingly creditable manner, both to themselvrs and their teachers.
 Too much praise cannot be given to Mrs. Eva Antrim, principal; Miss Morris, Miss Ely and Miss Post, as- sistants, for their indefatigable efforts in educating the young children Of this place who are about to enter into womanhood and manhood.
 The exercises showed that their teachers had left nothing undone to make the entertainment one of the most creditable affairs to both chil- dren and parents that has ever been seen in Yuma.
 Mayor R. J Duncan delivered an appropriate address to the class on the closing of the exercises.

Your Physical Condition

Needs attention at this time. If you are tired, weak and nervous, it is clear that your blood is impure, and without doubt there has been too much over-work or strain on brain and body. The course of treatment for such a condition is plain and simple The blood must first be puri- fled so that the nervous system, and in fact all the organs will be fed upon pure blood. Intelligent people with out number have testified that the best blood purifier, nerve tonic and strength imparting medicine is Hoods Sarsaparilia. Nervousness. lose of sleep and general debility all vanish when H0Od's Sarsapa0ila is persist-Dtlv taken iu word bsaith and happiness follow afJeg taking Hood Sarsapsulia.

The Biggest Fool at Large

Is the individual who consistently neglects his health, and the means of preserving and restoring it. Many persons who are not institutional idiots do this. They are genuine ob- jects of compassion as we'll as censure. A failure of appetite, loss of sleep and flesh, impaired digestion, an uncer- tain state of bowels and symptoms of billousness are so many warnings of the approach of disease. To disregard them is abject folly, which offended nature in due time punishes severely, if not fatally That genial and thor oughly reliable preventive of bodily mischief in the shape of chronic dis ease, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, will, if restored to in time, avert those disorders, to the removal of which it is also fully adequate. Among these are chronic indigestion, liver complaint, kidney troubles, constipation, ner- vousness, rheumatish and malaria.

Hodges, will leave nothing undone to please their patrons and citizens of Yuma, With Mel Greenleaf as floor manager and the committee of the Ninety and Nine Club, all who availed themselves of what will probably be the last dance of the season will have an en- joyable time.
