THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Another Effective Meeting Held Yes
 terday Afternoon.

The Commercial club is making commendable progress. The business
 men of Phoenix are rallying to it's
 support, and it is expected that the roster will contain two hundred names inside of a week. The central idea of
 this organization, that of advertising
 Phoenix and the Salt River valley in | the east and middle west, meets gen era1 approval. Phoenix and the in- comparable valley of which it is the
 metropolis might today as well be in Africa as Arizona for all that the masses in the east know to the con- | trary. This region has not been
 properly advertised It is the object of the Commercial club to make up l for all that has been lost in this par 1 ticu1ar.
 Thirty-five members of the club, i business men all, met yesterday after noon at the Hotel Adams and pro ceeded in a body to the governor s office. There they were greeted by the governor, and then Mr. T. J.
 Barkley, the president of the club, outlined to the governor the purpose of the organization and asked him to appoint as commissioner of 1mmigra- tion either MT B. Heyman, MT. George H. N. Luhrs or MT. Tiffany, these names having previously been agreed upon. The fact was brought to the attention of the governor that there is annually about $2,200 at the disposal of the commissioner of imml- grafton, and that either of the gentle men named would agree to perform the duties of the position without compensation, permitting the money to be used for advertising the re sources and advantages of Maricopa county.
 The governor replied that he appre- ciated fully the importance of the movement which had brought so many business men together, and that he believed the money to be turned over to the commissioner of immi- grafton could not be used to better advantage. He would, he said, either appoint one of the gentlemen named by the club or some other citizen who would be acceptable to the club. In asmuch as it is undecided whether the board of supervisors will appeal the case decided against the county and in favor of the present commis- sioner of immigration, the governor suggested that the club wait upon the board and make known it's wishes. The club will meet Saturday at the

THEY ROBBED
A POSTOFFICE
Two Masked Men Made Good Haul
at Arago.

MARsHFIELD, Or, Nov. Last night
at about 8 O'Clock two masked robbers
entered the postofice at Arago. The Of
fee is in the residence of w. H. Schroe-
der, the postmaster. Mr.. Schroeder was
in the upper part of the house when the
men entered, but man, Peter Crow,
was in the office. The robbers ordered
him outside. They tied his feet and
hands and fastened him securely to a
milk cart, In such a manner that his
face was down and he was unable to
turn. They then returned to the house
and forced Mr.. Schroeder to come down
stairs into the Office, and at the point of
revolvers compelled him to open the
safe. The helped themselves to the con-
tents. There was about $500 taken,
$1,000 belonging to the Aarago cream
cry and 5000 being postal funds. Post
master Schroeder is a cripple and was
unable to offer resistance. Sheriff Gage
and posse found the track of the rob-
bers early this morning and followed
them until dark. The country is we'll
guarded tonight, and the sheriff thinks
they cannot possibly make their escape.

HEART DISEASE
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For the
Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among Amer
cans, are certainly increasing and while
this may be largely due to the excite
ment and worry of American business
life, it it more often the result of weak
stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is incura-
BILE; but not one case in a hundred of
heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by branches OF
the same great nerves, the Sympathetic
and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the hear. is af-
fected by that form of digestion, which
causes gas and fermentation from half di-
gested food; there is feeling of heavi-
ness and oppression in the chest caused
by pressure of the distended stomach or
the heart and lungs, interfering with
their action; hence arises palpitatior
and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood

THE CAPITOL
EXPLOSION
Damage Was Not So Great as Was at
First Expected.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-ArchitectW Wood
today expressed the opinion that the
damage to the capitol building could be
repaired for $4,000.
The only damage that cannot be made
good was done in the. fileroom of the
supreme court, in the basement. There
were stored all the official records and
original copies of opinions, from the
foundation of the government. Com
paratively few of the papers were abso-
lutely destroyed, but those which suf-
fered this fate were among the most val
liable in the room. They included orig
inal opinions of the court in early days
of the republic, and among them were
manuscripts prepared in the handwrit-
ing of jurists in the days of Washington,
Jefferson and Adams.

PLAIN STATEMENTS
ARE MADE
There is No Mincing of Words and
Facts Regarding the Conduct Of
the War are Stated as Plainly as
Possible.

New YORK, Nov. s.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Major. General Nelson A. Miles has
completed and submitted to the war
department his report covering the en-
tire period of the hostilities betw cen the
United States and Spain.
It could not be learned at the war de-
partment whether the report in its en-
tirety will be given out for publication
in the near future or at all. 1t is said
that certain portions of the report may
be withheld. The sum and substance of
the reason for Withholding 1t, it is said,
is the fact that the report is said to deal
squarely with matters that certain Off
cials would much rather keep in the
in the background.
Friends of General Miles, who claim
to be cognizant with the contents of the
report, say that it Is exhaustive in deal
ing with the minutest details, and
many things which have not been
clear to the general public as to the con-
duct of the war are fully and compre-
hensively explained.

makes it thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
to insure prompt assimilation of food,
This can best be done by the regular
use after meals of some safe, pleasant
and effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive
elements in pleasant convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular, per-
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablete
at meal time will cure any form of stom-
ach trouble except cancer of the stom-
ach.
Full sized package of the tablets cold

ment should conclude the negotiations
for peace with the utmost rapidity to
ayoid Germany, Russia or some other
country mixing in the question, which
could mean but fresh disaster to Spain.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 8.-The cruiser
Philadelphia has been ordered to Samoa,
and will leave within a few days. The
Yorktown will probably follow her. 1t
is feared that the forthcoming election
of new king may result in a revolution,
and it is desirable to have war vessels
there to protect American interests.
The United States training-ship
Adams will, on or about December 1st,
start on a seven months cruise. By
that date she will have received her
batteries at Mare island. She will pro-
ceed from here to MagdeIena bay, where
she will spend month or so. She will
then go to Honolulu and Oriental ports.

SENSATIONAL
RUMORS RIFE
Postponed at the Request of the Amer
leans to Allow Time For Transla-
ton of the American Reply to the
Spanish Philippine Proposition.

PARIS, Nov. 9.-The Spanish -Ameri-
can peace commissioners have notified
the minister for foreign affairs, Del
Casse, that the joint session that was to
have taken place today will not be held,
and they will notify the minister when
they have determined upon the date of
another meeting.
Later semi-official note was issued
saying the commissioners had informed
the French minister of foreign affairs
that their conferences were suspended.
PARIS, Nov. S.-Inquiry developed the
fact that the failure to hold meeting
of the commissioners was only due to
Americans asking for a postponement
of the joint session until tomorrow; in
order to allow time for translation of the
reply of the United States to the latest
proposition regarding the Philippine
islands, which was received here this
morning.

NO FLAG WAVES THERE
Is Not Allowed on the Gardner Zellner
Building

There is no flag floating to the breeze
from the top of the Gardner & Zellner
building at 21S South Broadway, but
whether through lack of patriotism or
some private reason remains to be ex-
planned by w. r. Hervey. the attorney.
who is the agent for the building.
About ten days ago some of the people
about the building went to Hervey and
suggested that in times like these the Stars
and Stripes would be decidedly appropri-
ate on the top of the building Mr.. Hervey
replied that he did not have any flag or
pole, and thus STAYED off the patriotic vis-
itors; but they did not propose to be held
in check by such blockade. They called
on the various tenants and asked for SUBJ
scriptions to purchase flag and pole. The
responses exceeded their most sanguine
hopes, and more than twice the necessary
money was secured. Then Mr.. Hervey was
visited once more and informed that the
flag and pole would be purchased by the
tenants; but instead of expressing his sat
isfaction over this information, he re-
marked that he did not want. a flag on the
building anyway. and that those who had
interested themselves in the affair had
better be attending to their business.
AS result of this veto, no flag was pur-
chased, and the Gardner & Zellner building
looks gloomy beside the surrounding build
ings which have the national colors way
ing from their tops.
The only attempt at declaration of prin-
ciples is on the part of the German and
American Specialists, who have a couple of
small flags attached to their big sign near
the roof.

Mary Durazo, aged II, daughter of the
proprietor Of the Spanish restaurant on

HAvRE, France, May 1.-THE officers of
the French Transatlantic Steamship Com
pany say they do not believe that Spanish
officers will be arrested on board their
steamer Lafayette, captured by the United
States gunboat Annapolis. When the
French liner touched at Corunna, Spain,
they say it would have been easier for the
Spaniards to embark on Spanish
vessels, and they explain that If
such officers were found on board
they deceived the Captain of the
Lafayette in regard to their status. The
