It is neither loyal nor just that this thing should hang over the reputation of Spain. We cannot submit to it. It must be cleared up, in justice to our- selves.

In the olden times, physicians accounted . searched vainly for the xir of Life, or the knowledge whereby life might be prolonged. We now know that there is no such thing @s an Elixir of Life. But we have learned that life may be prolonged by those who take the right measures. Any man or woman who will take care of health and take the right remedies for ill health, may live to a ripe old age. When a man feels out of sorts, when he gets up in the morning tired out after a restless night, and goes home in the evening com- pletely knocked out with his day’s work, without appetite or ambition, he’is a sick mian. If he does not take the right remedy he will soon be in the grasp of consump- tion, nervous prostration, malaria, or some other serious malady. A man in this condition should at once resort to Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- the best of all medicines for hard-working men and women. It makes the appetite keen and hearty.

Then | some people who had been ignored ap- | prised Superintendent Furlong of the | true status of affairs and he refused to draw a warrant for the purchase of the land from the water comp ny. The affair got into the courts and Superin- | tendent Furlong's action was upheld. | Later Miss Belle Richards aroused the enmity of the water company by refusing to pay the water bill of the people who had occupied the house in | which she now dwells. The water was 1t off and she had to carry it up hill in buckets from the houses of neigh- | bors. The company eventually agreed supply her witli water, but she first | had to pay for what she had borrowed | from the neighbors. Miss Richards the water made her ill and Attorney Mahony now has a suit prepared for damages against the company, which will be filed in a few days. Next Miss Lelle Brown objected to a fence built across a highway by the company. She declcred it was in de- fiance of law.

The case was tried before Justice Gardner and resulted in Wright being fined $: with an alternative of twenty-five days in jail. The case was appealed.

Judge An- gellotti granted the writ and made it returnable last Wednesday. On that day the company turned the water on again. Louis Vesaria will file a complaint against Wright, alleging that the wa. ter was turned off without just cause and that he was compelled to cook on the fireplace, as the boiler of his stove would explode if there was no water in it.

Bryan's ambition is to be- come a brigadier general. His friends in Washington and at home are now working with that end in view. When Bryan came to Lincoln on his furlough a month ago it was a question whether he would resign his commission or re- turn to his regiment. His personal and political friends were called into con- sultation, and the matter was thor- oughly gone over, with the result that Colonel Bryan returned to Savannah. his adv s believing that in that way his political fortunes could be best ad- vanced.

VICTORIA, Dec. 9.—On the morning of Wednesday last the people of San Francisco who read the Examiner were regaled with a wonderful piece of fiction-telling of the breaking out of a volcano in the Atlin country, which, in the brilliancy of its {llumination, was said to rival Vesuvius. The story was told in detail and afforded scope for a | column article from the pen of the imaginative Victoria correspondent of the yellow paper. In default of other and more interesting news from the north the modern Vesuvius story was made to do daily duty and was sadly overworked. Considerable interest is taken in the fable of the smoking mountain by a gentleman now in Victoria, for it has been circulated on the strength of his name and he is anxious to locate the enterprising news vender, who ascribes the origin of the story to him. He has SUED BY ONE OF REA'S MEN Politics Back of a San Jose Prosecution. “GANG” OBTAINING REVENGE | FELONY ACCUSATION AGAINST D. H. BRYANT. Complaint Said to Have Been Filed at the Instance of an Officer ‘Whose Election He Opposed. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Dec. 9.—D. H. Bryant, who is charged by W. G. Griffiths with | having fraudulently obtained posses- sion of land, was arraigned before Jus- tice Kirkpatrick this afternoon. Bal’ was given in the sum of $3000, with| Mitchell Phillips and B. K. Dow as sureties. A hearing will be held Mon- | day afternoon. | Bryant is a prominent orchardist and | his arrest on the felony charge is looked | upon as a means of revenge for the ac- tive part he took in the fight against the “gang” at the last election. He isa leading member of the Good Govern- ment League, and waged an especially | hard campaign against the re-election of District Attorney Herrington, who | drew the complaint and, it is alleged, | advised Griffiths to have Bryant ar- | rested. | The trouble between Bryant and Grif- | fiths, who was formerly a real estate | agent here, was a couple of years ago | over land and money transactions. Bry- | ant caught Griffiths in several shady transactions. A lawsuit followed, and Griffiths and his brother made an at- tack upon Bryant with deadly weapons. Griffiths sold a piece of property near Saratoga for Bryant's wife, the latter taking a mortgage in part payment. Afterward, to protect her mortgage in- terest, Bryant purchased 920 acres in Sonoma County from Mrs. Sarah J. Miller, through Griffiths. By this means | the tangle that had arisen through Griffiths’ alleged crookedness was | straightened. Griffiths then secretly | filed a lis pendens against the Sonoma | property and leased the place to C. B.| Petray for $400. Judge Dougherty of | that ccunty decided Griffiths had no | claim to the property. Petray then had him arrested for having obtained money by false pretenses. Griffiths was convicted and sentenced to one year in the penitentiary, but the verdict was afterward set aside by the Supreme | Court because of some trivial error. | The Grand Jv-v was not satisfied | with this escape of Griffiths, and has| taken up the case with a view to in-| dicting him. Bryant was a principal | witness against Griffiths at the former | trial, and he was summoned yesterday before the Grand Jury at Santa Rosa to | give evidence. | While Bryant was in Santa Rosa | yesterday a warrant was telegraphed | for his arrest, but he was immediately released on his own recognizance, a | dozen influential men offering to give bonds for his appearance. He returned | at noon to-day and surrendered him- | self to Sheriff Lyndon. | The friends of Bryant believe him the | victim of a political intrigue, through | which Griffiths has been induced to charge him with felony. When arraigned before Justice Kirk- patrick to-day. Bryant asked for a | change of venue on the ground that the | Justice would be influenced by District Attorney Herrington, and would not give him a fair trial. Bryant told Kirkpatrick this in so many words. The Justice said he could give him a | fair trial, but would transfer the case | to Justice Gass when it was called for | Monday. In answer to questions Kirk- | | patrick said Grifliths swore to the com- | plaint yesterday at 11:30 o'clock. Bry- | SAN JOSE WILL ENJOY A BOOM Completion of the Santa Marguerita Gap. IMPROVEMENTS WILL FOLLOW SOUTHERN PACIFIC TO MOVE ITS YARDS OUT OF TOWN. Buildings, Including Repair Shops, to Be Erected and Employ- ment Given to Two Hundred Men. Spectal Dispatch to The Calle SAN JOSE, Dec. 9.—With the 8mple- tion of the Sant- Marguerita gap and the opening of the coast road through to Los Angeles, San Jo; is bound to enjoy a boom the coming summer. To meet this expected rush of business the Southern Pacific Railroad will remove their yards from North San Pedro street to the Polhemus tract, about a mile northwest of town. A twelve-stall brick roundhouse, large turntable and repair shops will be built there. This information been made public by J. L. Frazier, superintendent of the coast division, and W. G. Curtis of the engineering department. The capacity of the warehouses in this city will also be increased. For the past two years the railroad company has been buying land in the western suburbs until it now owns about forty acres. The opening of the coast road to through traffic will re- quire greater facilities for handling the business. For years the yards in the city have been cramped and the city streets have been used for switching purposes until the situation became dangerous to passersby and teams. The removal of the yards will greatly im- prove the portion of the city in the vicinity of the broad-gauge depot. The erection of repair shops so that minor repairs to cars and trucks on this divis- jon can be done here means much to | the city, as probably two hundred men will be employed. COLONEL SMITH HONORED. Made President of the Army and Navy Club at Manila. MANILA, Dec. 9.—The United States transport Pennsylvania has arrived here from San Francisco. Private Fred Bancil of the Twenueth Kansas died of typhoid fever on board the transport Indiana and was buried ashore. The Army and Navy Club has been or- ganized here, with Colonel Smith of Cali- fornia as president. The French transport Cachmire has ar- rived here for the purpose of repatriating Spanish soldiers.

He clearly showed his idea of the situation by granting Ma- hony's petition for a writ of mandate. President Wright declares that At- torney Mahony has been pursuing the company with a number of petty suits and has kept the employes so con- | stantly present in the courts as wit- nesses that they have not had time to pump water into the reservoir, this be- ing given as an explanation of the fact that the town was without water for three days. He sald the engineer and his assistants managed to keep out of court lng enough to pump the reser- voir fuli, and that was why water was served to Mahony last Wednesday, not because of the mandamus. “Mahony is possessed of a malicious nature,” asserted Wright, “and as his time is of no value, it costs him very | little to give us continuous annoyance.” |BOOK AGENTS ARE TO BE UNIONIZED | New Plan to Make More Effective the | Boycott Declared Against | Publishers. | CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—Book agents are to | be unionized.

A num- ber of readings were arranged among Mrs. Hearst’s friends, all of which were artistically, and, for Miss Potter, finan- cially successful. For many years Mrs. Hearst took an interest in the girl, and it was through her influence that a pro- fessional trip to Europe was under- | taken.

This gentleman is Dr. Kinsloe of Den- ver, who, with J. H. Jones, also of Colorado, and Colonel Hughes of Ross- land, has been spending the week in| Victoria, they having arrived from the | north on Tuesday last. The story the three gentlemen have to tell does, however, deal in part with a volcano, but so far as “lava pouring from the Alaskan crest,” as the Ex- aminer has it, is concerned, they give it a most emphatic denial. The three left Teslin some time ago dian trail. Soon after their arrival they set out in search of the Lost Rocker mine, the secret of the location of which is said to have died with its In- dian dicoverer. The information on which they made the search was given to them by an Indian, who claimed to have obtained it from his tribesman. Near the location of the lost mine a long extinct volanco was said to exist. The two searchers found the volcano and from a thorough examination of the crater’s mouth found that it had not been active for a considerable number of year. They failed to dis- cover any trace of the Lost Rocker, Another imaginative correspondent, who is responsible for the story of the Atlin volcano having been given pub- licity, is the Tacoma correspondent of the Associated Press. He credits his news to Dr. Kinsloe, but as neither the doctor nor his associates have been in | Tacoma, it seems that some ambitious | sensation monger in Tacoma has elabo- rated the tale out of the exceedingly scanty and unsensational statement they made in reference to the so-called | volcano. i Apart from its improbability in other particuldrs, the yarn told by the Ex- upon it, for it describes in graphic language the aid which this perpetual ing their claims, and how they are en- abled to work by the powerful light which it sheds by night as well as by The fact is that the mining close season is now on in the Atlin country and the miners who cannot work by day are not likely to attempt to do so by night. Far from circulating such a story as is credited to him, Dr. Kins- loe pronounces the whole statement false. There is no volcano, extinct or active, in the Atlin country, and the one discovered by Mr. Jones beyond Long Lake is so ancient that its last serious effort must have been concur- rent with the wandering of the ten tribes. Should Dr. Kinsloe meet the fabri- cator, he says, he will teach him that volcanoes are not the only things that are active. Shade Trees in Marin County.

A party of twelve will leave the university this month en route to Mexico. It is, ac- cording to Dr. Jordan, to be merecly a pleasure trip, but if it proves to be as valuable as many others of similar in- tent which he has taken, the students of Stanford University may expect some rare returns from him next school ses- sion.
