TRIES TO WIELD THE PEN EXCUSES OFFERED BY THE SAN JOSE BAD MAN. Lame Explanation of His Shady Transactions as a School Trus- tee Operating Under an Alias. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, July 80.—School Trustee Graham has laid aside his gun and taken up Hhis pen In defense of his transactions as a member of the Board of Education. This morning’s Mer- cury contains an article three-quarters of a column in length, endeavoring to explain his connection with the Cot- tage Grove Kindergarten. It presents a rather lame excuse and a virtual ac- knowledgment of the facts as given in The Call. He assails The Call repre- sentative in the same untruthful, inde- cent and intemperate manner that characterized his remarks when al- luding to the High School students’ protest against the dismissal of Profes- sor L. R. Smith from the High School. Graham states there is such a per- son as J. N. White, and that his reg- istered voting number is 10,835. A thor- ough search of the city to-day falled to reveal Mr. White, but it was learned that Trustee Graham has a relative by marriage by that name, and that he is registered from 128 Locust street. This is the number of Graham's resi- dence, Graham declares that the building and lot belong to Miss Mary A. Mec- Donald, a sister-in-law. Here the mystery begins. If the property be- longs to the person stated, why should he have the bill for rent made out in the name of J. N. White? is what peo- ple want to know. Miss McDonald is a most estimable young lady, and if she were securing the rent for the premises used as a school the bill should be made out in her name. In- stead the bill has been made out in the name of J. N. White. Each month Graham has received this check and drawn the money on it. When the bill first came up for payment it was made out in the name of Miss McDonald, but in the name of Miss McDonald, but this was changed to J. N. White at the request of Graham. Graham states the Assessor’s report will show there are improvements on the lot on which the school is erected. This is not so, as a search of the re- cords will verify. That the building was not assessed is due to the failure of the parties interested to report it to Assessor Spitzer. Chairman Wemple of the Board of Education says that when the depart- ment rented the place for school pur- | poses it was understood that one of Graham’s relatives owned it. He knew the rent bill was made out to J. N. White, but made no inquiries. Ex-School Trustee O'Brien’s state- ment was similar. He knew that ‘White had no interest in the premises, but as the bill was a just one for rent of the building he sanctioned its pay- ment. | Mayor Martin was busy behind closed doors and refused to be inter- viewed on the subject. There are fair. prospects that the | matter will be brought up and investi- gated at the next meeting of the board. Stmr. Grace Dollar will sall for St. Michael.

Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, July 30.—This was cup day at Brighton Beach and a large crowd gathered to see the great Hamburg prac- tically walk over for the $5400 first money. Ogden took second money, $1250. There was no doubt as to which of the Daly pair was to make the pace, for Hamburg began to go to the front at the fall of the flag and as they passed the stand for the first time he was ten lengths to the good. In the backstretch he widened the gap by half as much again, while Howard Mann was a length in the front of Ogden, the latter under a pull. Passing the stand for the second time Hamburg was but little short of a sixteenth of a mile in front of the others, who were then on even terms and beginning to race. Ham- burg made the gap a good sixteenth, while Howard Mann was through, Ogden being a couple of lengths in front of him. At the end Hamburg was a half dozen lengths better than a sixteenth of a mile in front of his stable mate, Ogden. It was not a race—simply an exhibition gallop by the best race horses of them all.

The spirit of liberty and right how- ever shackled and handicapped in the beginning is bound in the final struz- gle to be the conquering power. The Americans are winning because they ought to win. First of all, our cause is just. The irresistible gallantry and skill of our officers and mea on land and sea are reinforced by the thrice- powerful armament of conscious recti- tude. ‘Whatever is wrong, irrationaland un- natural cannot stand long before the overwhelming force of wnat is right and reasonable. We see the manifest power of natural and invulnerable law in every domain of action and iife. ‘When Columbus, the learned and al- most inspired navigator, called apon unexplored oceans to surrender their hidden continents, he had be¢hind him the great cosmic principles that he knew could never be gainsa ‘When Newton formulated the uni- versal law that holds all suns and stars together in their places, he knew that every physical object, big or littie, in the whole round world must inevita- bly, and for all time, obey the princi- ple that he so confidently enunciated. When Watts discovered the powers of steam, and Stephenson harnessed them in locomotive shape; when Franklin challenged the clouds and £d- ison carried his battle into the ethe- real currents and vibrations—each one of these aggressive geniuses was up- held and dominated by the conscious- ness of deep, enduring principles which reached down into the very ultimate nature of things and there found un- failing sustenance and support. In the great field of medical research and therapeutic physiology Dr. R. V. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y., has, for inirty years, been prosecuting a continuous, unintermittent campaign against dis- ease. From the very earliest days of his entry upon the field of melical practice, he has been sustained and re- inforced by the invincible principizs of nutritive and metabolic physiology. He has known that he was right and the result of his endeavors has been a continuous, unfailing demonstration and justification of his principles. In originating his now famous ‘‘Golden Medical Discovery,” he founded his faith upon the great basic principle of digestive nutrition. He recognized that nature carries on and sustains all physical life through the digestive and nutritive organism, and that through this system alone it is possible to rad- ically conquer disease. He appreciated the great pnysiolog- ical truth that nature, working accord- ing to her own chosen methods, will accomplish what it is impossible to sc- complish by artificial interference; and that any medicine which is to assist in carrying out the purposes of nature must work in strict subservience :0 her own laws and principles; must give her the assistance she calls for at pre- cisely the point where it is needed, and rely upon her to use it to the best ad- vantage. Armed and equipped with this invio- lable principle, Dr. Pierce has confi- dently and boldly, during the last thirty years, called upon all the most stubborn powers of disease to eapitu- late; and their unconditionzl surrender is recorded in the overflowing testi- mony of living men and women. The irresistible power of this match- less ‘“Discovery” lies in its deep and searching influence upon the digestive and nutritive organism. It gives di- rect tone to the stomach glands, en- dowing them with capacity to secrete digestive fluids of necessary quantity and strength. It creates wide-awake normal activity of the liver, and ena- bles it to filter the vile, poisonous dregs of bilious impurity out of the circuia- tion. It gives the blood-making glahds keen, assimilative power to transform the nutritious elements of food into healthy, red blood, rich with vital oxygen and life-building power. ‘What it does for the nutritive organ- ism it does for the whole body. It clears the circulation, the skin, the ex- cretory ducts, the bronchial tubes and lungs of all bilious products and other elements of disease. It furnishes na- ture with the elementary constituents and power with_which to fight and overcome every abnormal, impure, de- bilitated and impoverished condition. good. She brought him back and af- ter giving him your great ‘Golden Med- ical Discovery’ for a time, he entirzsly recovered.” “For about one year and a half my face was very badly broken out,” writes Miss Carrie Adams, of 116 West Main street, Battle Creek, Mich. “I spent a great deal of money with doc- tors and for different kinds of medi- cine, but received no benefits. At last I read one of your advertisements in a paper, and obtained a bottle of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. Be- | fore I had taken one bottle of this med- icine I noticed a change, and after tak- ing three hottles I was entirely cured. I can well recommend Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery to any one similarly afflicted.” “My health uas been failing for sev- eral years,” writes Mrs. Sophia A. Slemp of Sugargrove, Smyth County, Va. “I had hot flashes and at times a dreadful hurting In my back above the loins; I could not rest at night on account of hot spells. Last spring I bégan to feel so weak I could scarcely do my work and in April I broke down completely. I had indigestion and kidney trouble. I passed only a very little urine and of dark color. The back of my head and neck would be so tired I could not rest. The left side of my face ached. I had also a se- vere pain in my left limb. I tried dif- ferent liniments, but received no relief. I could not lie 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- times I would have to be propped up in bed all night, and even then could sleép but little. “I sent for the doctor and took his treatment about three weeks and was no better, but worse if anything, so I decfded to try Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med- ical Discovery. I bought six bottles, but I had only to take four bottles of it and two vials of the ‘Pleasant Pel- lets’ n I was able to do my work agal! L have thus far had no return of th ase. I feel better this spring than I have felt for several seasons. I have no hot spells like T had for sev- eral years. If I had taken your treat- ment sooner, no doubt I could have kept that bad spell off, but I am thank- ful that I took your medicine and found a cure. I shall ever praise the medicine that cured me and will recom- mend it to all suffering as I did.” No alcohol enters into the composi- tion of this superb “Golden Medical Discovery.” It is a temperance med- icine. It is free from the dangers which attend the use of many so-called ‘““blood purifiers,” “tonics,” “sarsapar- illas” and “compounds,” so largely composed of alcohol that their persist- ent use is liable to produce a baneful craving for alcoholic stimulants. The “Golden Medical Discovery” gives gen- uine, permanent, enduring vigor. It gives the temperance health that is true health. There are, and always will be, a class of dealers who would rather make a few cents more on a sale than to give you precisely the medicine you ask for. People who know their own minds need not be cautioned to avoid this class of dealers. If you are convinced that the ‘“‘Golden Medical Discovery” is the medicine you need do not be ca- Joled into accepting something else by the plea that “it is just as good.” It is an insult to your intelligence. Turn your back on the one who offers the af- front. Every man and woman in America may feel absolutely free to correspond with Dr. Pierce on the subject of th2 best home means and remedies for overcoming chronic or lingsring dis- eases. He will be glad o answer promptly and without fee or cost of any kind all letters of inquiry or con- sultation. The splendid Invalids’ Hotel and Sur- gical Institute at Buffalo, N. 7., over which Dr. Pierce has presided as chief consulting physician during the last thirty years, is recognized throughout the world as the model medical nsti- tution of America. Here, assisted by an accomplished staff of nearly a score of assoclate specialists, in th= different branches of medical practice, Dn Plerce has treated, in person or by mail, a greater number of severe, ob- stinate cases of chronic diseases than any other physician in America.
