THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MAY 20,1899 THE GRAIN-RATE CASES DISMISSED BY JUDGE MORROW Way Now Open to the Stubbs- Laumeister Scheduie Now in Preparation. The Southern Pacific and Not the State| Appears Before the Court and Asks Dismissal- Railroad Admits Costs. As gracefully as ‘it might, Southern Pacific has admitted the charge made by The Call that it was he instigator of the persistent at- tempts made by its agents on the Railroad Commi?ion. Blackstock and Laumeister, to dismiss the grain rate cases. Yesterday Mr. Herrin sent Attor- ney Pillsbury before the Federal court to apply for a dismissal and relieve his hirelings of the odium of a reiteration of their former demands and the insult they paid the court upon the first occasion. Upon the request of the plaintiff Judge Morrow dismissed the cases, and the Railroad Commission is now free to promulgate and enforce, if it may, the new freight schedule which Comm oner Laumeister has been preparing under the direction of Mr. Stubbs. h « I sed M the United " of E.

In this grand volume several hundred of its thousand pages are devoted to teaching women how to take care of themselves during every trying and critical period of their lives and especially at the time of approaching motherhood. The author of this remarkable work has had a lifetime of practical experience in treating the special diseases and weakne: es of women, and is recognized as one of the foremost of living experts in this partic- ular field of practice. His ‘‘ Favorite Pre- scription 1 ever invented to restore .natural organic strength and power to the delicate femi- nine structure which is most intimately concerned in motherhood. Taken during the time of anticipation it deprives this ordeal of all its accustomed terrors and dungers ; makes the coming of baby absolutely safe and comparatively painless ; renders the mother strong and cheerful, and helps to endow the child with @ strong, healthy constitution.

He said t his father years of age, born in Germany and ded at 425 Broderick street. Furt than this he declined to give an !nfnrmh:r tion, except that his father was at home Thursday night. He said he never heard of the man Friedlander mentioned in ha letter. The “man Friedlander” proved to be Louis Friediander of 431 Montgomery street. He says that he thinks Klopfer was slightly demented. About ten years ago Friedlander, Klopfer and othe bought up a block of land at auction. Shortly afterward the abstract of title was lost and a few months ago Klopfer came to Friedlander and told him that he could not find the abstract and had bec his property was heavily mortgaged. A few days later he asked “riedlander to purchase the property at a price which investigation showed was far ) did not care to_enter into the transaction elow its true market value. Friedlander and adyised Klopfer to have the title searched and satisfy his mind that all was right. The two paid several visits to a real estate office and then Klonfer disap- peared and Friedlander did not hear from him until he received the news of his death. —_——e————— Dispute Over Property.
