when once the disease is fastened upon

Vegetable Compound is the most eff

troubles of women, and is the only med

When a woman is troubled with pain

tone OF the sovereign in reviewing his
pledges and asking the cooperation of

Courtiers and spectators other than
members of the national parliament
led the cheering, but the members
were ominously silent, expressing nei-
ther approval nor disapproval. What
ranked most was the failure of the
emperor to mention amnesty, and lat
er, when the members assembled in
the Tauride palace, away from the
spell of the throne room, many OF
them were with difficulty restrained
from precipitating matters by Offering
resolutions on the subject.
The only genuine flashes of fire
which showed the real temper of the
members of the house were when Pro-

elected president of the lower house,
invited government officials and clerks

YUMA ENTERPRISES
Dam and LeVee Building--ReIief for
 San Francisco Victims.

Frank H. Lee is in Tucson from Yuma. and tells the Citizen that the hustling city in the southwestern part of the territory has contributed several thousand dollars to the San Francisco relief fund. The Yuma lodge of EIks gave a minstrel show on two evenings last week and the theater was too small to accommodate the crowds. The en- tire proceeds were given to the relief fund.
 Work is progressing on the levees and on the Laguna dam. There has been change of superintendent at the dam and the work is being pushed more rapidly than before. There are a large number of laborers at work and the reports that the contractors were unable to get any labor are declared to be without foundation.
 The levee has been completed on the Arizona side below Yuma. The levee will extend along for a considerable distance both above and below Yuma and its construction is a big under taking. The levee is being built 10 pro- tect Yuma and the agricultural lands from the Colorado where it rises dur ing the rainy. reason.

TUCSON'S SEVERE BLOW
The Effect of the Earthquake on the
 Pima County Seat.

The severest blow which Tucson will f feel as the result of the San Francisco earthquake is the destruction of most of the plans and specifications for the new passenger and freight depots to be built there, says the Citizen.
 Superintendent w. A. McGovern of the Tucson division has received a tel egram stating that when the building in which the Southern Pacific general offices at San Francisco were located burned, the plans and specifications for the new passenger and freight depots were destroyed.
 A portion of the plans were here. and 1t IS possible that some of those in San Francisco may have been saved How ever, the loss will delay work on the two new buildings and the Southern Pacific improvements here. Superin- tendent McGovern, while naturally very much disappointed, takes a hope tul view and believes that the delay will be but for a few weeks, although. nothing is known definitely
 The plans and specifications were drawn in the draughting offices of the Southern Pacific in San Francisco. They were previously delayed because the draughtsmen were rushed with

A COLORED PROMOTER
His Operations in Bisbee Ended By
 Foul Play or Fraud.

With $500 in his possession with which to pay men he had employed for several months, George w. Wander mark, colored. left Bisbee four months ago to walk to his minin ? property in the vicinity of the Noun tain view claims, and since then no trace of him has been found. Whether Nandermark was foully dealt with by parties who wanted the money he car rled, or whether he never went near his mine and got out of the country has never been quite satisfactorily ex- plained to several who put up funds 10 promote his mining ventures. says the Review.
 About two years ago Vandermarll launched the African Noble Duke Mining company, announcing to his friends that his scheme was to sell stock only to cOlored people, and to sell 1t in all parts of the country. To this end he sent several representatives in- to Texas and other southern states but neglected to furnish them with any stock certificates.
 A number of colored people. who purchased stock in Vandermark's ven ture, are now and have been for some time wondering what has become of the ebOny-hued promoter. who has so completely dropped out of sight that he cannot even be located by several who very much desire to serve legal papers in actions brought and that would be brought was there any hope of finding him.
 After Vandermark departed it deveI- opel that his ideas about the manage ment of mining company were vague

 Matters had just been arranged, and work would have been begun on the new freight depot and also on the pas- senger depot within a very short time Both these buildings are badly needed the necessity for a new freight depot being fully as great as for a new pas senger depot.
 It was feared by some that possibly the Southern Pacific, owing to it's loss es in San Francisco, would postpone the improvements here. However. those who are in position to know do not hold this fear. They state that the sum for the improvements here has already been set aside and that the i'm proVements will be carried out as orig inally contemplated as soon as the de- stroyed plans and specifications can be replaced.

A MURDERoUs PLOT.

Placed where they would be struck by the engine and the entire train de stroyed, 100 sticks of dynamite were found yesterday morning near Lewis Springs on the track Of the F. P Es s. w. road within a few minutes before the passenger train would have passed over it. and possibly several lives blot ted out.
 It is said that the dynamite was found on both sides of the track. and that it had been carefully placed so that when the front wheel of the en- zine struck il an explosion would re- suit. Enough was there to have de- stroyed the entire train and all in the cars.-Bisbee Review.

 to ever place location papers on rec lord in Tombstone. This was but one
 of the many bad breaks he made
 | While some fear that Vandermarlz
 may have been murdered for his money
 the greater number interested in him 1 are of the opinion that he is alive and well and now in some other part of the country promoting a mining com pany or some other scheme.
 l Unfortunately for F'rankerberg Bros, who had Vandermark employed for short time to do some work, they have been made a party with him in suit which has been brought against them for S845 by a miner who was employed under contract by Vandermark. Speaking yesterday about this suit, sam Frankenberg stated that they own a group of claims near those that were located by Vandermark. but that they
 never had anything to do with the col ored man in the organization of his company. They recorded their claims and he did not. For this reason when a search was made in the records at Tombstone for the location of the Ar rican-Noble Duke cOmpany's property no trace of it was found, but the Ioca- tions of the Frankenbergs showed up land the attorney bringing suit confused them with the defunct mining com pany.
 It is stated that Vandermark was one time offered $1OOOOO by eastern capi- talists for his group of claims. but that he refused on the ground that the property was worth S1,OO0,O0 and that he would get it without trouble by holding on.
 Vandermark was by several who knew him considered rather erratIc il not slightly insane on the matter of his mining company. It is claimed in his behalf, however, that if off his mental balance he had sense enough to leave the city with $500 in his pocket. all of it ether peoples money
