Many persons who left the city imme.
diately after the catastrophe are now
returning, anxious to start life anew,
encouraged BY the unanimity OF the ma.

The number OF cars transporting
fruit, which is one Of the leading in
dustries OF the city, is increasing, and
cabs are being more frequently seen than
at any time since tbs disaster
Plans are being made for Che building
Of a new town, to be situated on field
mile distant from the ancient railway
station. This plan was adopted in order
to hasten the work Of reconstruction. for
If the clearing OF the site and the ruins
Of the ancient city were undertaken first,
more than year would be required.
The type Of building which will be
safest in the event Of another earthquake
Is being discussed. Il is remarked that
the only building which withstood the
earth shocks was that Of DR.. Camareri.
The house was built on a platform Of

gether by wires. Competitive prizes

A Disappearance

Ecepyright. 1903. BY American Press Asno-
They say" said the purssr, shat for
every day In large city like New
York there is disappearance OF per
son who Is never heard OF afterward
We have proportionately as many such
cases at sea. Six such disappearances
have occurred during my term OF sea
service. only one Of which was ever
explained, and that good while after
II happened"
was with the Cunard line. ma we
were starting on the eastbound trip.
Just before leaving a carriage drove up
TO the dock. and young lady came up
the gangway. She was well dressed
and as pretty as picture. An elderly
gentleman accompanied her, whom I
supposed to be her father. He babe
her goodby affectionately. seeming
loath to let her 10. and. returning to his
carriage, drove away.
We had hardly got out OF sight Of
land before one Of the passengers, a
young man not much older than her
self, began to show her great deal OF
attention. Whether this was their first
meeting or not no one knew. II he
was an old acquaintance and they had
happened to meet on the voyage, no
one knew. Some ladies' questioned her
about It. but got no satisfaction. She
told one lady that she was going abroad
to marry an Englishman. He was
wealthy cotton spinner thrice her age.
The wedding day was set TO take place
in New York, but the groom expectant
had cabled that matters had arisen in
HIS business to delay bis coming II
was therefore arranged between him
and the girls father that she should 30
to him. Her father was her only liv-
ing relative and could not so with her;
therefore she must 20 alone.
II looked to the passengers who took
notice Of the attentions Of The young
man who was supposed to have made
her acquaintance that he was becom'
ing dangerous to the man who was
awaiting his intended in England. But
none Of them except the officers who
were more on deck at night knew that
the couple sat late in cozy corners

after every enc not connected with the
ship had turned in. spent my even

stumbled on the couple unawares and
saw the young man with his arm
about the girls waist. ] made up my
mind that for bride going to meet the
bridegroom she was tramping on dan.
gerous ground.
Tive days before our arrival in Eng
land the girl disappeared. She was
seen last about 10 o'clock at night by
stewardess In the saloon. The young
man who had been devoted to her was
in the smoking room that night from
half past 0 till II. Several persons said

they were there with him. AT II he
went to his room and turned In. There
was a roommate with him. who said
that the young man woke him up al

watch had run down. Then he un.
dressed and turned In. The roommate
declared that he was light sleeper
and any one leaving the room would
have awakened him. Therefore the
young man was IN his berth all night
Furthermore, his roommate heard him
snore often during the night.
The girl was not missed TN the next
day at noon. She did not appear at
breakfast, and. being absent at lunch
she was inquired for. Her room was
visited. She was not there. A search
was made. She could not be found
aboard the ship.
OF course every one suspected the
young man OF having something to dc
with her disappearance I'll he cleared
himself OF that suspicion. confess

without meeting him. Indeed. when be

Drumheller Company Y y
Erect a New Four

FROM SECOND STREET
TO WOLFE PROPERTY
Basement and First Floor
Only to Be Used by
Hardware Firm.

AS soon as arrangements can De
made, the Drumheller company with
offices on the corner of Second and AL
der S.ree;s will erect another four
story brick building adjoining their
present one which when completed
will be the finest Of it's kind in the city.
This company purchased several
days ago the Gus Harras property
where the Dime theater is now situat-
ed and also acquired the ground next
to it, known as the Timberlake prop
erty with a front of 80 feet. Since the
acquisition. plans for the modern
structure have been nearly completed
and when necessary details have been
arranged, work of construction will be-
gin.
Il is proposed 10 change the entire
front of the Harras building and raise
it to a four-story structure. similar
building will be put pnext to 1T and
when completed, the company will own
a solid brick block extending from the
corner of Second street as far as the
property of Josephine Wolfe.
The business of Drumheller Co., will
be confined to the basement underly-
ing the entire structure and the first
floor, the remaining three floors to be
used exclusively for offices. An eleva'
tor will be ms allied in he front of the
building on Alder street so that it wilt
be no inconvenience to reach any part
of the block desired, and when the final
plans are completed and carried out
this city will be able to boast of as
fine a business block as any in the In
