THt GROWTH or GLOBE
 BY NO MEANS A BOOM
(. H. Clark Speaks of His Power
 Plant On the Upper Salt.

C. NJ. Clark of Globe. the principal promoter of the Globe Power com pany, is in Phoenix on business and will remain here for several days. Globe, he says, is not having a boom but that the steady growth of the place is so phenomenal that it has been taken for a boom growth. The mining fields surrounding the city are alive with men and every train brings dozens of prospective investors or their agents into that section for in vestigation. MT. Clark is a guest of the Hotel Adams
 MT. Clark formerly lived in Phoenix. He first came into the valley in 1874, when as the operator in charge of the military telegraph station he had an office on Washington street. The tele- graph line between Phoenix and Pres colt was sadly out of repair and the work of rebuilding it was begun by Mir Clark. To complete the work with the limited number of men he had at his disposal it required a great deal of time. After two years here he left for the southern part of the terri tory. Later he went to Jerome and operated there for several years. T. was not d great while ago that MT. Clark conceived the idea of the power plant to be built on the upper Salt river and the transmission line into Globe.
 He at once began work on the pro- ject and developed the idea. Several months ago some preliminary work was done in order that distances and
 the like might be located and be ob- tainabIe Tn the preparation of estt- mates on construction. The intake for the power house is about forty miles above Roosevelt. Twenty miles above Roosevelt is the site of the power house. From this point it is

GAR SAVED
 BY A HAIR
Plot Which Gave Promise
 of Success
The WOuld-be A ssassins Had Gained Entrance to PeterhOf.

St. Petersburg. Sept. 2S.-A well lad plot against the life of the emperor and one with all the chances of sue cess on its side. was uncovered today by the arrest of two persons, a man and a woman, in the headquarters of one of the servants of the Alexandra palace at Peterhof, his matesty's closely guarded residence on Cron- stadt bay. The servants son and an- other lackey named Klemm Klepni- koff. who were concerned in snug gling the terrorists through the guards. were arrested also.
 Emperor Nicholas has been expect ed to return to Peterhof this week. and it is presumed that the terrorists intended lo shoot him while he was prOmenading or playing with his chil- dren in the palace grounds.
 A part of the great park at Peter hof is protected on one side by the waters of the bay and on the other side it is inclosed by a high wall sur mounted with iron spikes. This wall Is patrolled by trusted Cossacks. In side the palace grounds the only buildings are the unpretentious palace and two or three smaller houses for the servants
 . in which arrests have been reported almost daily since September Is, when a lacakey and several others were ar rested, are extensive, and may pos sibly have included two or more sub divisions, one directed at the emperor and the other against Grand Duke Nicholas. The arrests of these lack eys explains the manner in which threa tening letters were introduced to the apartments of the emperor.
 A general campaign of arrests and domiciliary visitatiOns will be inaug- urated in St. Petersburg today. It k not connected with the Peterhof plot but is an outcome of the revolt of Warsaw socialists who assist their St. Petersburg conferees in organizing a reign of terror here. Several con- signments of arms and ammunition which arrived by rail have been seized.

der is that the loss of life is not greater. The tracks of the terminal railroad to the navy yard and Barran- cas have been destroyed, as have also the trestles and bridges.
 No communication can be had with the navy yard, but it is believed that it Is not badly damaged. A number of warships were there. and these un- doubtedly have been destroyed. Every business house from the wharf on Fal- afoX street to the Union station have been unroOfed, many plate glass win dows being broken, stocks badly dam aged and wires and poles all mixed up together. There are no electric lights or cars or telegraph or telephone ser vice.
 The track of the Louisville & Nash Vile railroad, on the Pensacola and At lanttc division has been destroyed for thirty miles. and two engines and cars sent out to quarantine station have been lost.
 Acting Mayor Maura ordered every saloon closed. and fifty extra police men have been sworn in. The home less families are housed in all portions of the city. but many will walk the streets without food or a place to sIeep until some order can be brought out of the chaos.

White Bread Starves
 Many
 People

A piece of bread that is dry, white and very light in weight seems to the thoughtful person like so much foam or other useless and non-nourishing product.
 If one rolls a piece of moist, light bread or the interior of a biscuit be- tween the fingers. ball of dough is the result, with an appearance of solidfty that makes one question how the gas tric juices of the stomach can dissolve such a wad.
 It is small wonder that such food creates havoc in the way of fermenta- ton, gas, and consequent disorder.
 Many persons will find great help by leaving off the ordinary bread entirely, and using in its place Grape Nuts, in which the starchy and nitrogenous substances have been thoroughly and perfectly cooked at the factory before being sent out.
 There is no possibility of this food assuming the form of wads of dough. On the contrary, it is already predi- gested, the starch of the grains has been changed into sugar in the process of manufacture and passes quickly and directly into circulation.
 Grape-Nuts furnish the elements ticularIy the soft gray matter in the brain and throughout the nerve centres in the body. This statement will be verified by it's use. It is delicious enough to recommend itself upon trial. Made in the pure food factories of Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.

THE PASSING OF PALMA.
And With Him Ended the First Gov
 ernment.

Havana Sept. 2S.-Up to the time that the congress took a recess at 3 o'clock, today was a day of waiting After that hour various probabilities became certainties. By 5:SO President Palma definitely and firmly announced to his political followers that his res ignation was absolutely irrevocable.
 Following this announcement the mOderates held a long consultation at the residence of Senator Dolz. presi- dent of the senate. at which it was decided that no moderate should re- turn to the session after the recess. thus precipitating a condition in which no provisional president could be elected. This throwing up of their hands practically gave over the con trol of affairs to the American com missiOners.
 Up to that point the attitude of the commissioners also had been a walt ing one Secretary Taft. who has to a considerable extent taken the cor respondents into his confidence, said he was then in a position where he could not say anything for publica- tion. During the day Secretary Taft heard various kinds of opinions and counter propositions about available and unavailable candidates for the presidency. None of these propOsi- tions proved at all agreeable to all factions.
 Among those who visited the secre- tary were Governor Nunez and other liberal members. They regretted that Palma persisted in his resignation Zayas came, too. and asserted that the secretary of the interior MontaIvo. had 500 soldiers in the arsenal close to the house of representatives and was prepared to shoot him and other liberals if they appeared. or ap- preached the house for tonight's meet ing.
 1t was in a spirit of utter apathy that joint session of the congress re- ceived the resignations of the presi- dent the vice president and members of the cabinet this afternoon. This at titude was due in a great measure to despair that any action would result in making American intervention less probable. After a brief but confused debate the congress decided on the final forIorn hope of an appeal to Palma to reconsider his decision to retire.
 Although the session had been called for D. m. it was nearly before the members began to arrive and at that hour the improvised gallery in the long bare chamber, formerly a work room iii a big tobacco factory, con tained a sprinkling of spectators. Over the presidents rostrum hung the faded and tattered folds of the original lone star flag that was first raised by Carlos Cespedes in the ten-year strug- gle for independence. It was now d witness to the closing scenes of the brief life of the first republic. On the
