WIFE'S AWFUL ECZEMA Torture was so Intense Husband Thought She Could Not Live Twelve Hours. Doctors Within Reach Could Not Even Relieve. No Sleep For Seven Days. Tried CUTICURA REMEDIES. Asleep after First Application. Cured Well and Hearty. 1 desire to inform you what CUTICURA (oint~ ment) and CUTICURA BOAP have done for my ‘wife. Bhe was in the most horrible condition of any human being, from that most torturing of skin diseases, Eczema. She could neither sit down or lie down, her torture was so in- tense. I tried all the doctors that X could reach, but she got so that I firmly believe that she would have died within twelve hours if I Nad not been advised of CUTICURA REM- EDIES and got them. A travelling man on seeing her condition told me what to get, and you may believe that I lost no time in tting them. Greatly to my surprise, my Wwife went to in two hours qfter the first application, although she had not slept for seven days, nor I myself either. I followed up the treatment, and bozes of Cuticura (ointment) and one cake of Cutioura Soap did the work completely, she was absolutely cured, and is well and hearty to-day. If this state. ment will do you or anybody any good, use it. It is straight facts, and I can back u; all T havesaid by flgty ‘witnesses. 1can'tthan!

She also lost several salls and damaged her rudder head. She made for Guam and while there Jerry Casey, the blacksmith, deserted. He fell in love with the belle of the village, and nothing could induce him to return to the ship. Captain Montgomery secured & na- tive to take his place and set sail. Be- fore the bark got under W&E Casey came alongside in a boat and begged to be taken aboard. He said the Spanish had | set him to roadmaking and the work did | not agree with him. Captain Montgom- | ery would not llsten to his appeals, so | Casey had to go back to his village beauty and roadmaking. He was afterward tak- en off by one of the other whalers. | A. M. Simpson, the well-known ship- | owner and lumber merchant, was neary killed on the _front yesterday. While driving down Lombard street the king- bolt of his buggy broke and he was thrown out on his head. The aged cap- italist was carried into the office of the Bibb Lumber Company and later was re- moved to his home. It will be several days before he will be able to be out again. The steamer Elihu Thomson ran into section 1 of the seawall yesterday and carried away four fender piles besides damaging the underpinning of the wharf and cracking one of her own plates. The | brig Harriet G was in the way, and the captain of the Thomson had either to run into her or into the wharf. He chose | the latter alternative. i The stern wheel steamer F. M. Smith | very nearly blew up last Thursday night while on 'her way from Alviso to San Francisco. The pump falled to work, and the fireman, just in time, noticed that the water in the boiler was almost exhausted | and drew the fires. Another ten minutes | and the Smith would have blown up. It | took nearly an hour to fill the boiler and | Bet enough steam to reach the city. Frank Horan, a laborer, dled in the Harbor Recelving Hospital yesterday and was removed to the Morgue. A little over a week ago Horan went into the hospital with a foot much inflamed from a rusty nall having run Into it. Dr. Fitzgibbon washed and dressed the wound, warning Horan that if it was not kept clean and attended to it might cause his death. Friday night Horan was picked up on the corner of Kearny and Wash- ington streets in a fit. He was taken to the Harbor Receiving Hospital and Dr. Fitzgibbon sgain attended to him. The foot was in a fearful condition from eglect, and Horan was. suffering from lockjaw. Everylhlng possible was done for him, but he died.

One of the newest ‘‘wonders” as- suredly is the “Mutoscope,” meaning ‘‘chang- ing-views;"" now for the first time exhibited in Ban Francisco, and to be seen only at Baciga- lupi's Mutoscope Parlors, under the Baldwin Hotel, Market street. The' Mutoscope is virtually the Biograph diminutized to the size of & cabinet photo- graph, and is ‘‘worked'’ the familiar Fnickel-in-the-slot” echanism. It presents to the eye photographic views of objects in motion in manner so lielike as to border on the marvelous. Every ‘reel’” contains about one thousand views. It portrays scemes from plays, animals in action, athletic games and ‘conflagrations, the falls of N ships, war scenes, naval engage. All are produced with perfect fidelity to_nature. Twenty machines, all different and amusing views, are now at Bacigalupi's and the par- Jors @re crowded day and night with sight- seers. ———————— SHOT HIMSELF IN THE HEAD. Iliness Causes John Hogan to At- tempt Suicide. John Hogan, who until a few months ago was employed in the corporation yards on Sacramento street, attempted to commit suicide vesterda ernoon in his room in the Lindell House, Sixth and &l‘owhardd streets, by shooting himself in e head. e was taken to the Receiving Hospital in the ambulance, where Dr. Hartley found that the bullet had entered near the right ear and lodged at the root of the tongue. It could not be extracted, but there will be no serious results. Hogan has been a sufferer from asthma and has been unable to do any work for the past six months. He became despond- ent and thought the best thing for him to do was to quit this earthly sphere. ——— Advances made on furniture and planos, with or without removal. J, Noonan, 1017-1023. SEVEN YEARS AND A HALF FOR WIDBER Sentence Passed by Judge Cook. STAY OF TEN DAYS GRANTED METHODS OF “HEFTER” PHELAN TOUCHED UPON. The Failure to Count tae Money in the City Treasury the Probabls Cause of the Convict’s Downfall. Augustus C. Widber, who, through sys- tematic thieving, reduced the funds in the City Treasury to the extent of $118,000, stood before Judge Cook yesterday with bowed head while sentence was passed. Seven years and a half in San Quentin was the sentence imposed by the court, and then Widber looked up, a surprised expression on his face, his lips twitching with nervousness and mental pain. He had expected a shorter sentence, a: his his be- counsel had made an able plea in half for mercy. Judge Cook, after reviewing the case at length, the evidence, the prisoner's con- fession and plea for a new trial, touched uj 0;1‘ the methods of Phelan, the “hefter.” “I 1find,” he sald, *that the commission did not count the money in the treasury, as the law provided it should, at all dur- ing the month of January. is fallure may be considered the starting point of the criminal thoughts that galned mas- tery of this youthful mind and resulted in ‘this sad culmination. Notwithstand- ing the fact that the prisoner at bar is guilty, if he had admitted his guilt I would have been inclined to extreme clemency, but as he has persisted in his efforts ‘to defeat justice the sentence passed 1s none too Severe.” Attorney Peixotto then asked that a stay of ten days be granted and this was crdered by the court. In the meantime a bill of exceptions will be prepared in behalf of the defendant and the case carrled to the Supreme Court. ————— WASHINGTON DODGE CHALLENGES ASSESSOR JOHN D. SIEBE Mr. John D.

While inside the smokestack aking the repairs the engineer of the fire in the a furnaces. In m steamer s smoke generated by the fire, which seri- ously injured his health. Hence the suit. J. G. Edwards. No elective office is to the owner of property of more paramount import- ance than that of the Board of Equali- zation. Especlaliy to the citizens of this city is this fact true since from the foundation of our present system of State government has the respective interior districts been arrayed against San Francizco in their effort to foist upon our property owners their undue proportion of State taxation. Inas- much as this city has but one repre- sentative, as opposed to three from the interior of the State, the vital neces- sity of a strong representative from this, the First District of California, is at once apparent. The office requires a man of nerve and backbone, one who can exercise tact and diplomacy in standing between the two opposing ele- ments and secure harmonious action of the entire board. A man of peculiar fitness for this position has been se- lected by the Republican party in J. G. Edwards, a veteran of the civil war and for nearly thirty years a resident of this city. Mr. Edwards was born in Indiana and was reared on a farm. At the age of seventeen he enlisted in the Union army and served until the close of the war as a member of Wilder's celebrated scouts, an important factor in the Army of the Cumberland under General Sherman. After the war he entered the insurance business in Ten- nessee and in 187 came to this coast, where he established and now publishes the Coast Review, te-day the most prominent insurance journal of the Pa- cific slope. While always active in the interests of the Republican party Mr. Edwards has never before sought a political office. In consequence he is bound by no personal politica: interests in the exercise of his official duties and can be relied upon to act with resolu- tion and integrity in all matters that affect the public welfare. ——— o SUICIDE BY POISON.

Mr. Little’s record of repetition sentences is 180 correct words a minute. Even at this great speed the machine responded readily. The running of the machine was almost noiseless. Mr. Little was loudly applauded and offered’a few suggestions on how to obtain speed by the new touch method.

TOOK HER RING, BUT FAILED TO CALL HER WIFE Arrest of a Tennessee Sergeant. Mlss_ FETTER HIS ACCUSER HAS HER LOVER ARRESTED AND THEN RELENTS. She Appeals to Police Judge Low and Becures His Release—The Woman’s State- ment. Jessup Tandy, a sergeant in the Tennes- see regiment, was arrested last night on a warrant from the Police Court charg- ing him with petty larceny. He is accused of stealing a gold ring from a woman named Nellle Fetter. Shortly after the Tennessee regiment reached this city Miss Fetter, who is a prepossessing blonde, met the gay ser- geant and fell in love with him. To show her appreciation for him she gave him a plain gold ring, it being un- derstood that they were to be married in | the near future. Learning that the Tennessee regiment | was to depart for Manila Friday Miss | Fetter hunted up Sergeant Tandy and asked him if he intended to marry her. He replied that he wouid make her his wife as soon as he returned from Manila. Thinking he intended to desert her the woman visited police headquarters and swore out a warrant for his arrest charg- ing him with stealing her ring. He was | arrested at the Presidio and locked up in | the City Prison. | _ A short time after he was imprisoned | Miss Fetter visited the office of the Chief | of Police and begged that her lover be | released. | “I did not intend to have him remain in jail,” she tearfully remarked. “If he will only marry me 1 am willing to for- give him.” On being told that the Police Depart- ment was powerless to release him, inas- much as he had been arrested on a war- rant, Miss Fetter declared that shef would find one of the Police Judges and induce him to release her lover. After searching about the city for some time she finally found Judge Low, who, after | listening to her story, gave her an order | for the release of her soldler lover. Gomg | to the City Prison, the woman presenfed | the order to Sergeant Brown. Tandy was called from his cell and, see- | ing the woman who had caused his ar- rest, he asked what she mefiat by having him’thrown in prison. | “I want to know if you in‘end to marry me,” she indignantly remorked. “You ! know you have deceived me.” | Tandy promised to make hec his wife as soon as he was liberated. “You will not go back on your word?” she Inquired, as she grasped the extended hand of her lover. “You will marry me to-night or there will be trouble.” Tandy promised to do ‘“what was right” ‘and the couple left the prison. Last night they were hunting for County Clerk Curry, intending to get a marriage license, but failed to find him, The woman was determined to compei the gay sergeant to make her his wife and threatened to force him to accom- pany her to the marriage license office this morning so that they could be mar- ried before the troopship that is to carry the Tennessee regiment to Manila sailed. It is Miss Fetter’s intention to accompany her prospective husband to Manila. e R A L He Deserves Re-election. All who are familiar with the career of Judge James M. Seawell, both as lawyer and jurist, are of one mind regarding his candidacy. His re-election is deserved, s0 they say, and if the voters see fit to return him to a seat on the Superior bench it will be a just tribute to his fear- less and able administration of that office. Judge Seawell comes of sound, VIgorous stock. His father was a Virginian, who graduated from West Point in 1525. He served in the Florida Indian war of 1839- 45, for which he was brevetted major by Congress. He also served in the Mexican war, and was nearly always on frontier duty, when not In the field. He was colo- nel of the Bixth Infantry during the Civil War, and in 1862, at the age of 60 years, was retired for disability result- ing from exposure in the line of duty. As his father's career was one of dis- tinguished ability as a soldier, so _has Judge Seawell’s been one of ability both as lawyer and jurist. For several years prior to 1572 the Judge was the law part. ner of Hon. J. McM. Shafter. While e gaged at the bar Judge Seawell was f terested in many Important cases, among which was the Black will case. He was counsel for the successful contestant. The case attracted much attention. —_———— Don't forget German Mother's Syrup cures your child’s cough. Better try it. 25c. —— An Elegant Present. Joseph A.
