The Oroville local train, due here at 8 o’clock, was scheduled to meet a west- bound freight train at Webster switch at o'clock.

While seeking to stop his locomotive the engineer was horrified at the sudden appearance of a locomotive headlight directly in front | | of him and bearing down upon him. He could not make out the outlines of the approaching locomotive, but he knew that a frightful death awaited him and his fireman if they remained at | | their posts, and both jumped from the box into the jungle of tules that bor- ders the track.

HAVANA, Dec. 26.—The American | evacuation commissioners will to-mor- | row issue the following proclamation to the inhabitants of the island of Cuba: The undersigned, Commissioners on the part of the United States, having been invested with power by the President to | arrange for and execute the evacuation of Cuba and adjacent islands, also taking over the public property of Spain, have entered into an agreement with the Com- missioners on the part of Spain for the final remonies and_ regulations to be observed and carried out on the Ist day of January and thereafter until all nish troops have embarked for re- patriation, and th8 same is published for | the guidance of the inhabitants outside | of the S: go district. igned desire in this public manner to press and enjoin upon all the people of the island the necessity for rict compliance with the terms of this cement to the end that public order nt The unde | and due respect for the gravity of the oc- casion may prevail, and especially to ad- monish all classes of people to exercise self-restraint and moderation and to re- | frain from giving cause of offense or ir- | ritation and from the exhibition of ex- | citement or undue manifestations of feel- fhe or trom doing any act calculated to | produce irritation or bad feeling. | SACRAMENTO, Dec. 26.—In the| INHABITANTS TO BE LY WARNED Proclamation From the American Commissioners as to Evacuation. | | | ! ’ | For nearly four months this commls- | sion and other officials of the United | States have been under the protection of the Spanish authority. The representa- | tives of Spain have extended to us the | most scrupulous courtesy and (‘nns(dera-‘ tion, and not one unpleasant incident has marred our sojourn in their midst, and | now that our positions are soon to be| reversed and they are to become our | | guests and entitled to our protection, we | | must see to it that they enjoy the same | | immunity and consideration. Apart from | | the general propriety of such a course, | the interests of all classes—Cubans, Span. fards and Americans—will be thereby sub | served. |~ Acting under a sense of duty to the pe: ple and to our Government, we give no- tice that any violation of the terms and | provisions of this agreement will be re- sented and offenders brought promptly | to justice. Representing all classes and | interests, we shall be governed by the| strictest impartiality with the sole pur- pose of promoting the rehabiliation and | pacification of Cuba. The prese peace, the security to persons and prop- erty, and the establishment and mainte- nance of government with just laws im- partially administered are indispensable to the welfare and happiness of the peo- ple. We, therefore, confidently invoke the aid and co-operation of the inhabitants in accomplishing these ends. I assenger train suffered a severe in- jury, his foot being crushed.

During the heated spell in the summer in New York City as many as a thou- sand babies have i in a week. Of course, in a crowded city, with its unsani- tary districts, many of these deaths would have occurred any way. The fact remains that this tremendous mortality was to a great extent due to the lack of inherent resisting power in the victims. These babies when born had in their bodies the seeds of disease. The deadly heated term only shortened the period of their sufferings. If a woman wishes her babies to be healthy and strong and able to resist the usual ailments of childhood, she must take sroper care of herself in a womanly way uring the period of gestation. A woman who suffers from weakness and disease of the organs distinctly feminine is unfitted | forwifehood and motherhood. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a wonderful med- icine for ailing women. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs con- It makes them well and strong. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain, stops exhausting drains and gives rest and tone to the tortured nerves. Thousands of women have testified to its almost miraculous merits. Many of them have permitted their names, addresses, experiences and photographs to be repro- duced in Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Med- ical Adviser. This great book used to sell for $1.50, now it is absolutely free. It tells all about the home-treatment of ordinary diseases. It contains 1008 pages, and over 300 illustrations.
