WASHINGTON, July 16.—The Secretary | of the Interior has received information that special forest agents have ejected more than 85,000 sheep from the Yosemite JPurk. California, and will in a short time | probably succeed in removing the others | now on that reserve. Secretary Bliss has | | | of Vermont. heretofore requested the detail of to the several national parks in cfifi%‘;f nia, but the soldiers so assigned were re- moved in order to accompany the Philip- pine expedition. Many complaints were received concerning the invasion of sheep men, and a special Inspector was sent to take charge of the l!:mrks. and were sub- sequently designated acting superintend- | ents, with directions to employ from ten to twenty-four men as assistant forest sgents. These men have succeeded In clecting the sheep. The Sccretary of War has also dectailed an officer and ten men of the Utah Volunteer Cavalry to patrol Yosemite, Sequoia and General rant national parks. These men have been told to report to the acting superintend- ent for instructions, and it is hoped that by their assistance the destruction of the forests by fire may be prevented. The In- terfor Départment has used every effort in its power to protect these parks. - COLONEL AIKEN DEAD. Was Awarded a Medal by Congress for Bravery in the Sixties. VISALIA, July 16.—A prominent mem- ber of the Grand Army of the Republic has just passed away in this city in the death of Colonel John J. Aiken, a native He was 64 years of age and lived for years in San Francisco and | Stockton. Colonel Aiken participated in some of the most important battles of the Civil War, notably that of Gettysburg. Be- cause of his complete knowledge of this freat battle he was employed as lecturer or the cyclorama of the Battle of Get- tysburg while it was at San Francisco. The colonel was one of eleven surviv- ors in a desperate struggle against the Confederates in the Civil War and on ac- count of the signal bravery of the eleven each was presented with a medal by spe- cial vote of Congress. He was a man of more than ordinary refinement and had written several poems and gapular BOngs. Colonel Aiken had made his home here for the past two years. He left no rela- tives on this coast. His funeral was con- ducted to-day according to the ritual of the Grand Army. ATTHE MARE [SLAND YARD Philadelphia Is Taking on Supplies. ALMOST READY TO SAIL WILL START FOR HONOLULU ON ‘WEDNESDAY. Tug Iroquois Has Taken on Coal and Is Prepared to Start on a Cruise on a Day's Notice. Special Dispatch to The Call. VALLEJO, July 16.—The Philadelphia has been taking on ammunition for a couple of days and other stores are being rushed aboard as rapidly as pos- | sible. A small amount of coal for aux- iliary purposes has been placed on board and the work of filling her bunk- | ers will begin on Monday. There is rumor that just sufficient coal will b put on board here to take her to Sa Francisco, where the coaling will be | completed. There is a probability that | she will be ready to sail with Admiral Miller on the 20th inst., but it may | take a day or two longer to get ready. | The tugs Active, Vigilant and Iro: quois are still lying at the quay wall, | though the officers and crews from the naval reserve are anxious to receive sailing orders. Captain Turner has had the Iroquois alongside the coal wharf | tice. She is splendidly adapted for dis- patch boat service between San Fran- | cisco and Honolulu as she can steam sixteen knots and has a working radius | | of 5000 miles. She carries seven guns | {and would be a good auxiliary vessel |for use with Admiral Dewey's fleet, | having powerful pumps and wreckmg‘ | appurtenances. . The board to select a site for a new dock has completed its work and the re- | port is now in process of preparation. | The plans for the dock will accompany | the recommendations of the board, | which will not be known until they reach the Secretary of the Navy. It is| known that borings have been made | south of the ~resent stone dock and the | new dock probably will be located very | near the place recommended by Naval | | Constructor Baxter in his report to the chief constructor a year ago. ‘With the sailing of the Philadelphia the rush on Mare Island will have end- | ed, as there is only the Yorktown to | prepare for immediate service, and that | can be done without night. work. A number of men have been let off, as | there has been no demand for men in | their callings since the Philadelphia was practically completed. The force will still be kept at a high figure, es- | pecially in the construction department, which has large appropriations and much work on the Yorktown, Ranger and Adams, as well as the Alert and Hartford. It i{s now understood that | these vessels will be completed without | any delay, probably by the end of the yea By that time, it is expected, the war with Spain will have ended and a num- ber of Admiral Dewey’s ships will come here for repairs. The flagship Olympla had received orders to come to Mare Island, but the breaking out of the war caused the orders to be countermanded. The Baltimore has accommodations for the flag office and will probably become | the flagship of the Asiatic squadron and the Olympia will return to Mare Island as soon as peace is established and the disposition of the Philippines settled. Work on the Yorktown Is going ahead rapidly and the results are be- ginning to show. When the battery is placed on board the Yorktown will be the best vessel of her class, as the | 6-Inch guns which will form her main battery have been converted into | rapid-fire guns. They were originally | a portion of the Philadelphia’s battery, but the hurry order for that vessel would not admit of waiting, so the Yorktown'’s guns were used and the lat- | ter vessel will get {mproved guns. | LINTON BEATS MICHAEL | | [ AND BREAKS RECORDS | NEW YORK, July 16.—For the second | time this year Jimmy Michael, the oncein- vineible paced bicyclist, wasforced todrink the bitter cup of defeat. His old school- mate in Wales; Tom Linton, Was the one to lower Michael’s record, and at the same time he broke the world’s record for the distance. Linton accomplished the feat In a twenty-mile paced race at Man- hattan Beach, in the presence of 15,000 people. For four miles it was a pretty race, Michael leading by a few yards. Suddenly Michael's tire collapsed. Nat- urally, Linton passed him, and, after rid- ing two laps of the fifth mile, Michael stopped and pedaled slowly to his ‘‘cor- ner,” where he changed his damaged wheel for a new one. In the meantime Linton kept going like the wind and be- fore Michael came back on the track he was one mile ahead. : When Michael left the track he was greeted with a storm of hisses. It cer- tainly appeared like a case of quit, as Michael could have changed his wheel and resumed his place behind his pace- makers with scarcely the loss of half a l:\gf had he tried to do so. jchael met with another slight draw- back on entering his tenth mile, when his pacing team broke a chain. After Michael let up there was little interest in the race outside of Linton’s efforts tu reduce the record. Although he tried hara he could add no new figures until the fir- teenth mile, when he started in by clip- ping 5 1-5 seconds off the record. He continued ahead of the record every mile until the finish, breaking the twenty Exhibition trial for new American kil record by Taylore of France.

PIERCE’S REMEDIES | GIVE FULL HONOR WHERE DUE ‘“Remember the Merrimac!” INTO THE THICK OF THE FIRE. “Into a narrow channel “Beneath the Spanish guns, “Went the heroes of the Merrimac, “America’s own brave sons.” Admiral Gherardi recently voiced { public opinion when he said: *“There is | just as much grit, just as much brains and just as much ability to-day in the{ American navy as ever, and I would | not hesitate to say that there are bet- | ter men to-day in the navy than ever.” Lieutenant Hobson has proved himself | the greatest hero of modern times; | none the less so were the six brave fel- | lows who volunteered and went with | him, as well as the seventh man—the | | coxswain who disobeyed orders and | | slipped on board to help in the desper- ate undertaking! Almost every officer and man in the entire fleet begged to | be allowed a place on the Merrimac— | | & forlorn hope for their country’s glory | | —for none who went expected to get out alive through the hell that would | surely pour from the cannon mouths | of Morro and Zocapa. It was a scene | of herotsm and heroes which will do | more to convince the world that Ameri- | cans are not ‘‘a nation of shopkeepers,” | but that they are built of the material from which hero@s are made. It takes a man with good blood, strong nerves and a healthy condition of heart, brains and stomach to be a hero. A nervous man who does not sleep at night and gets up shaky in the morning is not the sort to take up the battle of life with confidence | and fortitude. If the nerves are fed on good rich blood, and the liver active, so that all waste products are eliminated —such a man has a clear head and a firm will, for his nerves are strong, his heart active and his brain is fed on pure blocd. So it happens that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery Is one of the best of all health-keepers, for it makes pure, rich blood. It forces out all impurities and dis- ease germs. It does not make any dif- ference what the disease may be called, so long as it has its inception in im- proper or insufficient nourishment—this great medicine will cure it. It may be called dyspepsia, kidney disease, “liver complaint,” skin or blood disease, or nervous prostration—all these have the same starting point. The “Golden Med- ical Discovery” reaches that point. It will cure these diseases absolutely. None of them can retain their hold cn the system when the arteries are filled with rich, pure blood. It replaces worn- out tissue with hard, muscular flesh, and changes weakness and debility into active power and nerve force. No alcohol being used in the manu- facture of “Golden Medical Discovery” it does not inebriate or create an ap- petite or longing for stimulants, as is S0 often the case with the protracted use of other advertised tonics and al- teratives, which are very generally made up largely of that injurious in- gredient. The originator of this great “Discov- ery.” R. V. Plerce, M. D., is chief con- | sulting physician to the great Invalids’ Hotel and Surgteal Institute of Buffalo, N. Y., at the Head of a staff of nearly a score of eminent asspciate physicians and surgeons. He has acquired, in his over thirty yvears of active practice, a reputation second to no living physician in the treatment of obstinate, chronic diseases. His prescriptions must not be confounded with the numerous “boom’ remedies, ‘“‘extracts,” ‘“compounds,” | and “sarsaparillas.”” which a profit-| seeking druggist is often ready to urge as a substitute. Dr. Plerce’'s medicines are the product of wide ex- perience and deep studv. Any one may consult him by letter free of charge. “The reason I delayed writing was because I wanted to wait one year after I had taken the medicine before giving my statement, and now I can send a good, conscientious testimonial,” writes Charles H. Sargent of Plain City, Madison County, Ohilo. “During the summer and fall of 1896 I became all ‘run-down,’” nerves were out of order and stomach out of order. I wrote to Dr. Plerce for advice. He said I had eneral _debility, and advised Dr. jerce’s Golden Medical Discovery, and, thanks to you for your advice, I used six bottles; and since I stopped taking it about one year ago, I have not taken any medicine of any kind, and have been able to work every day. My appe- tite is good, I can eat three square meals a day, and T do not feel that miserable burning in the stomach after | eating. My blood and nerves are in| good shape, and well—in fact, I think I | am in pretty good running order.” “My health had been failing for sev- | eral vears,” writes Mrs. Sophia A. Slemp of Sugargrove, Smith County, | Va. “I had hot flashes and at times a | dreadful hurting in my back above the ’ loins; could not rest ar night on ac- count of hot spells. Last spring I be- | gan to feel so weak I could scarcely do | my work and in April I broke down1 completely. I had indigestion and kid- ney trouble. No desire to urinate, and when I did would pass only a very lit- tle and of dark color. The back of my DR. PIERCE'S REMEDIES could not rest. The left side of my face ached, but the pains and aches yielded under the influence of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery and ‘Pleas- ant Pellets.’ I had also severe pains in my left limb. I tried different lini- ments but received no relief. I could not be still on account of the suffering in my body. My limbs and feet were cold, although I was in a perspiration nearly all the time. Some nights I Wwould have to be propped up in bed all night, and even then could sieep but little. I sent for the doctor and asked if he could cure me. He said he had never failed but a time or two. I took his treatmeng, about three weeks and was no better, but worse if anything, so I decided to try Dr. Plerce’s Golden Medical Discovery. I bought six bot- 7 2727 ) tles but I had only to take four bottles of the ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ and two vials of the ‘Pleasant Pellets’ and I was able to do my work again. I have thus far had no return of the disease. I feel better this spring than I have felt for several seasons. I have no hot spells like I had for several years. If I had taken your treatment sooner, no doubt I could have kept that bad spell off, but | T am truly thankful that I took your medicine and found a cure. I shall ever praise the medicine that cured me and will recommend it to all suffering as I was.” ‘While all diseases may not be directly inherited, the constitutional tendency to acquire them is inherited. If a man is a consumptive the chances are that his children will have weak, under- sized lungs and a predisposition to ac- quire the same disease. The young man who suffers from bronchitis, weak lungs, spitting of | blood or any disease of the air passages which, if neglected, leads up to con- sumption, may take Dr. Plerce’s Gold- en Medical Discovery with almost ab- solute assurance of recovery. It cures 98 per cent of all cases when taken in time. It soothes and heals the deli- cate and serisitive tissues of the air- passages and lungs, checks the cough, facilitates expectoration, drives out all impurities and disease germs from the tainted’ blood and builds new and healthy tissues. Mr. John G. Born of 4020 Liberty ave., Pittsburg, Pa., writes: “Some thirty months ago I said to my wife, ‘T don’p want to keep anything from you, I must tell you I am in the last stage of consumption.” In December, 1896, I commenced taking Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. I could then only speak in whispers. I have taken thir- teen bottles, and can say with truth I am greatly benefited. People are sur- prised to hear me speak. I can halloo, and my voice has not been as good in eight years. My stomach was never in better condition. Formerly I could not eat without suffering very much immediately after, but now I can eat anything.” “I will write you what Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has done for me,” says George H. Belcher Esq. of Dorton, Pike County, Ky. ‘“Thirteen years ago I was wounded by a ball passing through my lung. I have had a bad cough almost ever since with shortness of breath, and it was very easy to take cold; the slightest change of weather would cause the cough to be so bad I would have to sit up in bed all night. Could not eat or sleep at times; was all run-down; could not work at all. A few months ago I be- gan using Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. Have not used more than two bottles and now can eat, sleep and work, and I feel like a new man. I cannot find words to sufficiently rec- ommend Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, or tell the good it has done me."” “Last spring I was taken with severe pains in my chest, and was so weak I could hardly walk about the house,” says Mrs. G. E. Kerr of Fort Dodge, ‘Webster County, Iowa. “I tried several physicians and they told me I had con- sumption, but that I might ‘brush it over’ and perhaps live a good many years. I heard of Dr. Plerce’'s Golden Medical Discovery and I thought I would try some of i{t. Before I had taken the first bottle I was very much better; I took five bottles of it and have not yet had any return of the trouble. I have also taken Dr. Pierca's Favorite Prescription and ‘Pleasant Pellets’ with good results.” “I had long been a sufferer from chronic catarrh of the head,” says Charles T. Stone Esq. of Whitford, Chester County, Pa. “About last May it developed into a very disagreeable and hacking cough with soreness and fullness of the chest. Doctors here pronounced it bronchitis. I tried sev- eral doctors ahd took different remedies without receiving any benefit whatever. I then consulted Dr. R. V. Plerce in reference to my case. The first bottle of his ‘Golden Medical Discovery” stopped the cough. I used several bot- tles, with Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, and have since had no symptoms of a return of the cough.” No family should be without Dr. Plerce's Common Sense Medical Ad- viser.
