SORE HANDS FOR EIGHT YEARS -Pain So Intense Would Nearly Twist Fingers from Sockets. _ Puffed Up Like a Toad. Water Ran Through Bandages to Floor. Had to Walk the Floor Until Would Fall Asleep. Fingers 'Peeled Like an Onion. Doctors Could Not Cure, Cured By Cuticura. About eight years ago I got sore hands, it commenced with akind of a burning sensa- tion on’my fingersand on top of the hand. When I commenced to rub them, you could see little white pimples on the skin. I rubbed more and more, until I felt like twisting my fingers out of their sockets. I had high fever, and cold chills ran over me, and 50 I Xkept it going until I was tired out. Nights, I bad to walk the floor until I fell asleep. My hands peeled like an onion, the finger - nails got loose in the roots, and the water ran out, and wherever there was a little pimple, there the byrning fire was, and I tell you and can prove to you, that happened at least ten times. During the day, I had to attend to my business, for I am running a blacksmith shop, horseshoeing, and 1 would not shut up the’ shop for anybody, but it was hard. My hands puffed up worse than a toad. When I drove .. horse nails, the water from my hands ran through the bandage, on to the floor. My customers refused tolook at my hands. Ihad a friend to take me to the doctor; he gave a solution of something to bathe my hands with. I was working every day, and did not know what to do so I went to another doctor, 1 think for a year. I found your advertise- * ment in a Utica newspaper, and I got the Cu- TI0URA RESOLVENTand CUTICURA S0AP. The nails hardened up and pegled off and I don't _believe there s one of the first nails left on my hands. What I have told you is true. I do this for your benefit and humanity’s sake. 1 would not suffer any more as I did, for the whole country. CASPER DIETSCHLER, Feb. 22,98 Pembroke, Genesee Co., N.

Mrs. Nead remained at the O'Farrell street house but one night. Miss Frost met her upon the street and informed her that she per- mitted no such conduct in her lodgers.

On the 29th of July Nead disposed of the store. and with his wife has since been living at 125 Turk street. He has in his possession flattering recom- mendations from well known Metho- dist, and shows a bankbook that gives him credit for $1100 in deposit at the California bank.

The California Associated Cycling Clubs will not attempt to govern cycle racing outside of its own territory, the Pacific Coast. This action was decided upon at the regular monthly meeting last evening. The question was brought up by several telegrams from prominent Eastern riders, who are tired of the arbitrary control of the League of American Wheelmen, ask- ing if the California Association would take charge, issue sanctions and govern tracks and racing men. The delegates discussed the matter at length and decided that the Eastern men should organize a controlling_ body of their own, which could then affiliate with the Assoclation, Cali the Southern sts” Union of New Orleans, and the tern Association of Denver. Com- independence of the league would be had. The prest((ll:-nt was Instructed to tele- back to the Bastern riders, with assurances of the hearty sup- port of the Californians in any matter within its scope. President Charles Albert Adams was in the chair, and Stanley G. Scovern acted as secretary. Delegates were present from the Acme Club Wheelmen of Oak- land, Ariel Bicycle Club of Vailejo, Capi- tal City Wheelmen of Sacramento. Enci- nal Bicycle Club of Alameda and the Bay City Wheelmen, California Cycling Club, Imperial Cycling Club and Olympic Club Wheelmen of this city. The chairman was authorized to appoint a committee from the clubs to confer with the Merchants’ Association and the Team- sters’ Union regarding n proposed parade on Saturday evening. October 22, to cele- brate the repaving of Market street. President Adams was also authorized to anpoint a committee of five to arrange for the association’s annual theater party.

SALINAS, Sept. 30.—When James Har- kins, who was confined for one year in the San Jose jail several years ago for opium smuggling, died in April, 1897, he left a fortune estimated at $112,000, con- sisting of 1764 acres of land in Santa Cruz County known as the San Andreas ranch, a house and lot on the northwest corner of Twenty-fifth and Howard streets, San Francisco, and an immense quantity of grain, stock and other personal property in Monterey County. This he devised to his sister, Annie Welsh, the real estate for her use during her life, and the bal- ance for her use and benefit absolutely. On her death the real estate was to be divided, share and share alike, between one daughter and three sons of a dead sister of Harkins, named Margaret Ford. :Kihe]s;;fll was filed and probated on May This afternoon Attorney F. J. Murphy of Watsonville, on behalf of Mrs. Welsh, executrix, asked to be substituted for Holbrook & Maher as counsel. He stated that the property had increased in value and was worth now over $30,000, and that owing to ambiguity)in the wording of the last will of Harkins it had been de- cided to have the court pass upon the document and determine exactly what was meant. Suit will be commenced next week by one of the Ford heirs, and there is great curiosity as to the outcome of the question of the distribution of the old smuggler's wealth. —_————————— Struck by a Car. .Alfred Madeson, residing at 48 Sacra- mento street, was struck by Valencla- street car.

He was taken to the Har- bor Hospital by Officer Flemming, and a broken ankle was dressed by Drs. Thomp- son and Morrison. z i v GRAND JURORS HEATING [RONS SIZILING HOT They Want to Blister Certain Officials. WILL BE READY THIS WEEK REGISTRATION AND SCHOOL BOARD FRAUDS PROBED. A Little Claptrap Charge "Against Registrar Biggy Investi- gated and Dis- 5 missed. The Grand Jury has several irons in the fire at the present time, all of which are being heated sizzling hot. It is very anx-| ious to blister half a dozen precinct regis- tration officials, and to that end is busily fanning the flame of an investigation into a bright light of considerable calorific power. Yesterday certain documents from the- office of Registrar Biggy were ob- tained and taken to the juryroom. A curious story was afloat in the corridors during the afternoon that a disappointed seeker for the Registrar's order to fur- nish small supplies for election day, such as pens,. ink, paper, etc., had complained to the Grand Jury that Biggy did not give everybody a fair show to furnish the ma- terial on competitive bids. Although the total cost of the supplies was only about $200, the Grand Jury saw fit to.look into the matter for a few minutes, and found that Biggy had sent around to several ery firms and asked for prices be- ding the order.

Only Secretary Welsh was wanted at the outset, to ex- plain the methods of giving out contracts in vogue, etc. Mr. Welsh furnished this information to the jurors, and the investi gation went over for the time bejng. The special subject for inquiry is said to be the lumber cont let by the board, a shortage in delivery being alleged. The last Grand Jury opened up the subject, but did not reach conclusions. The jury returned two indictments late in the afternoon against Louis Helhing for obtaining property under false pre- tenses. Board to 4 ADVERTISEMENTS. ELEGANT NEW SILKS! FALL 1898.
