In young girls suppression develops latent inherited tendencies to scrofula or con- sumption, and no time must be lost in restoring regularity.

His R Remains Placed ceiving Vault at Odd Fellows' Are in Cemetery. The last act closing the life drama of Alexander Badlam was solemnly performed at his late home on Frank- lin street yesterday afternoon by his grief-stricken relatives and sorrowing friends. The religious ceremony over the dead was performed by the Rev. Robert Mackenzie of the First Presbyterian Church, and conformed to the ritual of that creed. The exercises con- sisted of the reading of prayers and the chanting of hymns, at the conclu- sion of which the preacher made a few remarks in eulogy of the career of the deceased, paying a touching tribute to his memory. As it was the last wish of Mr. Bad- | lam to have flowers omitted at the fun- eral obsequies, his wish was rigorous- ly adhered to by his friends and rela- tives; and with the exception of a sheath of wheat, which was placed on top of the black pall covering the me- tallic casket, and a few flowers made into the form of pillows, there was a total absence of floral offerings. Those who acted as pall bearers were for the most part intimate friends of | the deceased, and many of them had known him for years, and dated their | friendship back over the sixty-seven vears of his well-spent life to the time when he was a mere boy. The pall bearers were Fulton G. Berry, Judge J. D. Murphy, General W. H. L. Barnes, Charles G. Lathrop, Joseph Spear, Thomas R. Hayes, Theodore Rickard and Eugene Lev The remains were conveyed to the 0dd Fellows’ Cemetery and placed in the receiving vault, pending their final dispositio: SAYS HE HAS A CONTRACT D G Coy Enters Complaint | Against the Southern Pacific. Claims There Was an Agreement to Carry Flour at $3 Per Ton. If the statements made by D. G. Coy, a grocer of Woodland, before the Railroad Commission can be sub- stantiated by that gentleman the Southern Pacific Company will have hard work explaitung away a ertain telegram which it sent to Coy inform- ing him that a rate of $5 per ton would be accepted by the company as long as he continued to ship flour from Eugene, Or., to Woodland, Cal. The matter was brought to the at- tention of the commission in the form of a formal complaint made by Coy against the Southern Pacific for non- fulfillment of a certain contract alleged to have been made with the complain- ant in the form of a telegram. It seems that Mr. Coy, who is en- gaged in the wholesale and retail gro- cery business in Woodland; had been accustomed to purchase his flour from the Sacramento mills and have it sent down to his store in Woodland. Fin- ally, however, after the flour trust had been formed, the Sacramento mills raised the price of the article, and ac- cording to the complaint tried to dic- tate to Coy the figure at which he should retail it to the farmers with whom he deals. This figure was so high that the farmers found it cheaper to go to Sacramento themselves and buy their flour, and while there would also purchase their other grocery supplies. This forced Coy to look elsewhere for a more satisfactory depot of sup- plies, and finding that he could pur- chase his flour at Eugene, Or., much cheaper than the Sacramento mills would let him have it, he telegraphed C. F. Smurr, then in charge of the Southern Pacific freight department, asking what rate the company would make him on his shipments from that place to-Wogdland. He received a re- ply in which,"as he claims, he was told that he could ship as long as he wished for $5 a ton. This enabled him to sell the flour at Woodland 35c a sack cheaper than was at Sacra- mento and at a profit of 40 per cent more than when he was a customer of the mills at that place. This arrangement with the raflrocad people continued until December 7, 1897, when Coy was informed that after Jan- ary 1, 1898, the rate would be $7 per ton. Hence the complaint that was presented to the commission yesterday. —_————— No one will use a fountain pen after trying a “Koh-I-Noor” copying pencil. * the | | spoke freely of his testimony and what | he knew of the affairs of the office yes- terday. | “I have dealings with every depart- ment of the city government,” said Mr. Kampe, “and I am probably as famil- | | iar with the workings of the various | departments as anybody. I cash war- i rants for the deputies, and there is hardly a branch that does not main- | tain what might be called a sinking | fund. Each deputy contributes a small sum to this fund each month, and it is | used for incidental expenses of the of- | fice. i | “For instance, as you are probably | | aware, there are frequent and heavy | demands upon the officials and depu- ties of the municipality for charity and | benefit entertainments. Hardly a day | | passes that tickets for some picnic or | | show of some sort are not circulated | through the City Hall. In the Record- | | er's office, as in some of the others, the deputies, when asked to buy tickets, refer the seller to the head of the de- partment, who takes a certain number | of tickets and pays for them out of this private fund. In that way all are taxed equally, and the burden is imper- | ceptible tg anybody. The copyists in the Recorder’s office are paid by the | | folio, and average from $75 to $90 a | month. I suppose they contribute to| this fund in propertion to their earn- | ings, and the amount of their liability is sent to me by the chief deputy, which I hold out when I cash their warrants and turn over to him. Last month I cashed warrants for eleven employes of that office, deducting $4 80 from each, that being the amount Mr. Cooney notified me to retain, and which I gave to him. It usually amounts to between $40 and $50 a month. Before cashing the warrants, I invariably ask the men if the amount I have been in- structed to deduct is correct, and I have never yet had one of them dis- pute it. “This I testified to before the Grand Jury yesterday. While Maloney was in the office 1 cashed his warrants for | him, and some of the orders on the Auditor I took out there with me. I | was told that Maloney had testified that he never received more than $105 for a single month's work, so I showed the Grand Jury where I had cashed a warrant for him for $215 64 in January, | 1897. He was enabled to earn that amount through Glynn's kindnessin giving him extra work, as he had told his chief that he was in a bad way financially and could not meet his pay- ments on his house. | “Several months ago I received a let- | ter from Mr. Glynn asking me to ad- | vance Mrs. Maloney $40, and requesting | me not to cash any more warrants for Maloney, but to give the money to his wife. This I did up to the time of his | dismissal, and Maloney has never be in my office since his wife first called. Mr. Maloney said, in answer to the broker’'s testimony regarding the reg- | ular monthly assessment, that in all the time he was in the Recorder’s of- fice there were only two assessments, one being to aid Glynn in his political fight, and the other to purchase a| | music box for Mrs. Glynn. | Mr. Glynn substantiates Mr. Kampe’s | | statement in every detall, and says he | has placed a letter written by Maloney | to him in the hands of the District At- | | torney to lay before the Grand Jury at | its next session. In this letter, he says, | Maloney expresses his gratitude for fa-| vors shown him by his chief in strong- est terms. 10 BE INTERRED INST.LOUIS Mrs. Elizabeth Hager’s mains to Rest in the Family Vault.

A Little Hard Fesling Just at Present, but No Serious Clash Is Expected. A mass meeting of the journeymen tail- ors of this city was held in Union Hall, 1159 Mission street, on Thursday, for the purpose of organizing a branch of the Journeymen Tallors' Union of America, | and a temporary organization was ef- fected. There has been for some time an organ- ization of tailors known as the Journey- men Tallors’ Protective and Benevolent Union, composed mainly of the high- priced tailors. This organization was not affiliated with any central body, and ex- ists in this city alone. The national or- ganization has found it a constant men- ace to the interests of union tailors, as workmen coming from the East are un- able to join it by depositing a traveling | card and it can neither issue cards to tail- ors going out of the city nor uphold a union label. Accordingly Organizer E. S. Christophersen as dispatched to this city with instruction to draw the local union into the national body if possible, and in the event of his faflure to do this - a new local union, which would be chartered from the national. At the outside, he | He arrived in this elty about two weeks | ago and at once commenced his labors by holding shop meetings of both union | and non-union shops, in which work he was ably assisted by the organizing com- mittee of the San ncisco Labor Coun- cil v of the members of the for affiliation was defeated, and of organized and unorganized tailors in the city for last night. At the meeting much enthusiasm was manifested and a temporary organization was easily effected. J. T. Elisworth was elected temporary chairman and George Nesbit temporary secretary. A prelimin- ary meting will be held at 1159 Mission street next Monday evening, when it is expected that a permanent organization will be effected. WEIRD PARALE OF MEDICOS With Skull and Crossbones They Will March Through the Streets. A College Yell That Will Positively Wake Up the Dead. If the medical and dental students cons nected with the College of Physicians and Surgeons in this city carry out their original intentions San Francisco will be treated to a novel though somewhat grewsome spectacle on this evening, and timid people had better keep off Mar- ket street and remain in the peaceful seclusion of their homes. These embryotic medicos and dentists will turn out and march to the Pavilion, to be present at the opening of the Min- ing Fair, and with them, as accessories, | will appear all the paraphernalia peculiar | to their profession and some bones of the cadavers on which they have operated. At their head will be a huge red banner, with skull and crosshones done in white bunting, with the letters C. P. 8. under- neath. This will prepare the courageous beholder for graver things to come. Each participant will carry a “femur,"” or thigh bone, and its somber aspect will be to some extent relieved with a bow of white and red ribbons. The reputed comedians of the college will be distin- guished from the others by carrying a bone called the ‘“humerus” so named because of its connection with the funny- bone, and it i8 expected that the brlxgt shafts of wit that will emanate from the aforesaid comedians will obviate the ne- cessity of illumination along the line of march and will-do away with the need- less expense of burning fireworks. Various other bones, weird relics of individuals who have departed this sphere and upon whom the students have experi- mented, will be seen in this parade, and one enterprising member expressed his intention of exhibiting a skeleton in its entirety, but he was opposed by the rest, and so this feature will be eliminated. There will also be seen saws, forceps, scalpels, and in fact everything apper- taining to the two professions. They will have their college yell, too, and it is sald to be the most blood- curdling one ever invented and will cause dead bones in our cemeteries to turn over and rattle in their graves. The students, to the number of 200, will_be headed by the First Infantry band, and after_gazing on the wonders of the Mining Fair they will march to the California Hotel, where they will par- take of a sumptuous banquet and lsten to set speeches by the college faculty. —_—————— THE TRAFFIC IN DOGS. John Higgins and James Flynn Plead Guilty to Petty Larceny. The two men, John Higgins and James Flynn, who were arrested some days ago for stealing big dogs in the Mission and selling them to parties who were going to the Kilondike, pleaded guilty fn Judge Joachimsen's court yesterday to petty larceny and were ordered to appear for sentence this morning. James Brownie, a bartender in a saloon on Fulton and Larkin streets, testified that he had purchased thirteen dogs from the two defendants, glving them from $ to $10 for each dog. He was to leave for the Klondike in a few days and intended tak- ing the dogs with him. Mr. Christophersen then called 4 mass meeting | | to a seat and | seemed 1 had nothing to live for.

No one was to know anything about the marriage, but strange to say a few inti- mate friends were taken into the secret to help keep it quiet.

No man is better known and liked in that rich tier of Illinois counties,of which Peoria is the center, than genial Chester 8. Harrington of Princeville, Ill. For many years Mr. Harrington has traveled through the country on profitable jour- neys as an itinerant merchant, and every- where he goes he is given a hearty wel- come by the people who depend upon his regular visits for the purchase of the necessaries, and some of the luxuries of life. Mr. Harrington is a veteran of the war, and out of this circumstance grew the train of acts that make up the remark- able experience which he related upon the occasion of a visit to the Transcript office recently. His story, teiling of the evils of which the Civil War was but the beginning in his own, and in thousands of other eses, was as follows: “I served three years in the One Hun- dred and Twenty-fourth Illinois, enlisting at Kewanee, Ill. 1 was in Libby Prison, and, of course, I suffered, like many an- other Northern soldier. Until recently I was a member of the Princeville Post of the G. A. R. “The straln of army life did its work | in undermining my health, although the | collapse did notcome for years. For somae | time 1 suffered from general debility and nervousness so badly that I could not slee] I would sit up night after night reading, because I couldn’t get to sleep. For fifteen years my sleep was complete- ly broken up. Indigestion, of course, re- sulted and my misery increased until it began to fail, and as my body lost vital- ity my mind seemed to give way also. I could scarcely remember events that happened but a few weeks before. “] was unfitted for business, and had to abandon the road for two years. I was just able to creep around during the greater part of this time, and there were times wgen I could not get up at all. My brother is a doctor, but all his efforts to help me failed to give me any relief. “Riy friends suggested a great many things they thought would help me, and 1 tried a lot of remedies, without avalil. Finally, having read a grea! many arti- cles regarding cures that had been ef- fected by Dr. Willlams' Pink Pills for Pale People, I decided to try them. That was in 1896. I bought a box and took the pills according to jnstructions. Just four days later I had the happiest hours I had known for years. That night I went to sleep easily and slept soundly as a child and "awoke refreshed. Since then I have clung tight to Dr. Willlams’ Pink Pills, and I have slept soundly and gained health ever since. Three or four weeks after beginning the treatment, when I had taken four boxes of the pills, T found I had increased in weight from 119 pounds to 146 pounds. This greatly surprised my friends who thought that my case was a hopeless one. I began my work on the road again and I have con- tinued it right along ever since in excel- lent health. “Let me tell you a remarkable thing that was a side issue, but a valuable gain to me. I found that while I was takin, Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills I had been cur of the smok!nxg habit, which had been formed when I was a boy, 6 years old, and which had clung to me all theseyears. The craving for tobacco left me and I have never experienced it since. I have recommended the pills to more than 150 people and I hope, if my experience is made public, it will be of benefit to some o CHESTER S. HARRINGTON. State of Illinols, County of Peoria—ss.

Miss Marie Johnson’s letter to Mrs. Pinkham, which follows, should inter« est all mothers and young ladies. She says: “My health became so poor that I had to leave school. I was tired all the time, and had dreadful pains in my side and back. I would have the headache so badly that everything would appear black be- fore my eyes, and I could not go on with my studies. I was also troubled with irregularity of menses. I was very weak, and lost so much flesh that my friends became alarmed. My mother, who is a firm believer in your remedies from experi- ence, thought perhaps they might benefit me, and wrote you for advice. I followed the advice you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable- Compound and Liver Pills as you directed, and am now as well as I ever was. I have gained flesh and have a good color. I am completely cured of irregularity. Words cannot express my gratitude, and I cannot thank you enough for your kind advice and medicine.”—Miss MARIE F. JounsoxN, Centralia, Pa.
