The itching and burning I suffered in my feet and limbs for three years were terrible. At night they were worse and would keep me awake a fireaber part of the night. I consulted octor after doctor, as [ was travelling on the road most of my time, also one of our city doctors. None of the doc- tors knew what the trouble was. I got a lot of the different samples of the medi- cines I had been uah:.fi. I found them of g0 many different kinds that I con- cluded that I would have to go to a Cincinpati hospital before I would get relief. I had frequently been urged to try CUTICURA REMEDIES, but I had no faith in them. My wife finally prevailed upon me to try them. Presto! What a change! I am now cured, and it is a permanent cure. I feel like kicking gsome doctor or myzelf for suffering three ears when I could have used CUTICURA EMEDIES. H. JENKINS, Middleboro, Ky.

Berr of this city, who was former- Iy superintendent of the woolen mill at San Jose, has just returned from the north, where he has succeeded in interest- ing the people of Humboldt in the pro- ject. He received offers of several sites free upon which to place the mill and there also were offers of lumber to con- struet it. Stock to the amount of $65,00 has been subscribed in Eureka and $10,00 has been | subscribed in this city. This week Mr. Berr will go to Eureka to incorporate the new enterprise. Then he will proceed East to get the latest machinery and the expectation is that the mill will be in operation very soon. Mr. Berr says that the cheap fuel to be had in Eureka will be equal to a sav- ing of $25 per day as compared with the cost of coal, which has been one of the drawbacks with woolen mills in this State. The conditions at Eureka were carefully examined and all found to be most favorable for wool manufacturing. The county produces about 500,000 pounds of wool annually.

Special Dispatch to The Call. MERCED, March 3.—Several of the pub- lic spirited men of this city have eub- scribed toward the building of a fine large first-class hotel. This s something Mer- ced has needed ever since the closing of the El Capitan Hotel by the Southern Pa- cific Company several months ago, thus leaving the " town without a first-class hotel. It is the intention of the new coum- pany that this state of affairs shall exist but a very short while longer. The new hotel, which will be of the an- cient Spanish type of architecture, be situated on the corner of Huffman avenue and Main street, with a frontage on Main street of 150 feet and extending on Huff- man avenue the same distance. It will be two stories high, the upper floor contain- ’“f eignty rooms, while on the lower flo::r will be the office, dining-room, kitchen n:.| several store rooms. The building will contain a theater, which has also long been needed. El Capitan is the name that has been selected, it being the name of the hotel the place of which it is designed to_fill as a first-class house. The tearing down of the old El Capitan will begin about the second week of this month, and work on the new El Capitan it is hoped will begin shortly afterward. I i ° NEW FLOUR-MILL PROJECT FOR SAN DIEGO Prominent Capitalists Will Erect One of the Largest Plants on the Coast. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN DIEGO, March 3.—Prominent capi- tallsts who are Interested in the advance- ment of the trade of San Diego have, it is understood, entered into negotiations with a Los Angeles milling company for the erection and operation here of one of tae largest flouring mills in this section of the country. The mill and plant will cost close to $100,000, and it is to be erected near the site of the Spreckels Brothers Com- mercial Company’s warehouse, at the foot of G street. A large portion of the hlock on which the warehouse is located is an- occupled at present, and being near the water front and aiready supplied with railroad tracks it would be an exceedingly fine location for such an enterprise. The large demand for flour in the Orient and the fact that the steamers of the Cal- ifornia and Oriental line have had to go north each trip for a partial cargo has di- rected the attention of the people to the possibility of *supplying the deficiancy ere. The last steamer of the line out of here had 1780 tons of flour from San Fran- cisco, and took another 100 tons here. More could be taken by each steamer if | space did not have to be furnished for | cotton and other shipments. | The arrangements for the construction | of the buildings have progressed so far | that if the coming week brings rain tu Southern California the work of construc- tion will be commenced. If, however, it is found that wheat will have 1o be brought here from the East there may be a little delay in getting the work started. | there is no new indication of any change in the situation.

Willlam McKinley, President of the United States, was the guest of honor. More than 400 covers were laid. Before the banquet President McKinley held a reception and shook hands with the mem- bers of the society and the guests. Amorg those at the President's table were: Governor Roosevelt, Governor Nash, ex-Governor Morten, C. N. Bliss, Senator Mark Hanna, Lieutenant Gov- ernor Woodruff, General Swayne, General Corbin, H. Clay Evans, General Thomas H. Hubbard, John Barrett, Tunis G. Ber- gen and Jullan T. Davies. The list of speakers on the programme was as follows: President McKinley, Governor George K. Nash of Ohio; Solicl- tor General of the United States John A. Richards, Lieutenant Governor Woodruff and James H. Hoyt. There were no fixed toasts, the speakers having subjects al- lotted to them as tney were called upon. Governor Roosevelt was late in arriv- ing at the dinner, and was loudly cheered as he came in at 8:30. At 9 o'clock Mrs. De- McKinley, wife of the President, accom- panied by Mrs. Abner McKinley and Dr. Rixey of Washington, took seats in one of the boxes. Mrs. McKinley was loudly applauded and when she bowed the ap- plause was renewed. All the galleries were filled with ladies, many calling upon the President's wife. Cheers for the President. It was 10:30 o'clock when M. 1. Southard, president of the soclety, introduced Mr. McKinley. When Mr. Southard mentioned the President’s name there was great cheering, Governor Roosevelt leading. Three clieers were given when Mrs. Mc- Kinley’s name was mentioned, the guests rising. Mrs. McKinley arose and bowed. The toast, “The President,” was drunk standing. President McKinley then arose amid tremendous applause. 1n the course of his speech he said: It has been some years gince I Was your guest. Much nas happened in the meantime. We have had our blessings and our burdens, and still have both. We will soon have legislative as- surance of the continuance of the gold stand- ard, with which we measure ¢ur exchange, and we have the open door in the Far East through which to market our products. We are neither in alllance nor antagonism nor entan- glement with any forelgn power, but on terms of amity and cordiality with all. We buy from all of them and sell to all of them, and our sales exceeded our purchases in the past two years by over §1,000,000,000. Markets have been increased and mortgages have been reduced. Interest has fallen and wages have advanced. The public debt is decreasing. The country is well-to-do. Its people for the most part are happy and contented. They have good times 4nd are on good terims with the nations of the world. There are, unfortunately, those among us— few (n number, 1 am sure--who seem to thrive best under bad ‘times and who, when g0od times overtake them in the United States, feel con- strained to put us on bad teyms with the rest of mankind. With them I can have no sym- pathy. 1 would rather give expression to what I beileve to be the nobler and almost universal sentiment of my countrymen in the wish not only for our peace and prosperity, but for the peace and prosperity of all the nations and Peoples of the earth, After thirty-three years of unbroken peace came an unavoldable war. Happily the con- clusion was quickly reached, without a sus- picion of unworthy motive of practice or pur- pose on our part and with fadeless honor tq our arms. I cannot forget the quick response of the people to the country's need and the quarter of a million men who freely oftered their lives for their country's service. It was an impressive spectacle of national strength. It demonstrated our mighty reserve power and taught us that large standing armies are un- necessary when every citizen i a ‘minute man.” ready to join the ranks for national etense, Speaks of National Duty. Out of these recent events have come to the United States grave trials and responsibilities. As it was the nation's war, so are its results the nation's problem. s solution rests upon us all. It Is too serious to stifie. earnest for repose. No phrase or catch word can cancel the sacred obligation. No use of epithet, no aspersion of motives by those who diser will contribute to that sober judgment #0 essential to right conclusions. No political outery can abrogate our treaty of peace with Spain or absolve us from its solemn e ments. It is the people's question and will be until its determination is written out in their enlightened verdict. We must choose between manly doing and base desertion. Wil never be the latter. It must be soberly settled in justice and consclence and it will be. Righteousness, which exaiteth a na- tion, must control in its solution. No great emergency has arisen in this nation's history and progress which has not been met by the soverelgn people with high capacity, ~with ample strength and with unflinching 'fidelity to_every honorable obligation. Partisan: can hold few of us p ainst solemn public duty. We have this so e he often demonstrated in the past as to mark unerringly what it will be in the future! The national sentiment and the nation’s con- science was never stronger or There has been a’reunion of t! the holy altar consecrated to country, ly sanctified by common sacrifices. The followers of Grant and Lee have fought under the same flag and fallen for the same faith. Party lines have loosened and the ties of union have been rooted in the hearts of the American people.

Imperialism Impossible. There can be no imperialism. Those who fear are against it. Those who have faith In the re- public are against it, 50 that there is universal abhorrence for it and unanimous opposition to it. The only difference is that thoss who don't with us have no confidence in the virtue or capacity or se or good falth of this free people while we believe that the country of free government American people have enjoyed Has not rendered them faithless and irresolute, but has fitted them for the great task of lifting up and assisting to better conditions those distant pecples who have, through the lesue of battle, come our wards. Let us fear not. There is no occasion for faint hearts, mo excuse for regrets. Nations don’t grow in strength and the cause of liberty and law s not advanced by the doing of easy things. The harder the task the greater wiil be the result, the benefit and the homor. To doubt our power to accomplish it is to lose faith In the soundness and strength of our popular institutions. The liberators will never | become the oppressors. A self-governed peo- ple will never permit despotism in any gov- ernment _which they foster and defend. Gentlemen, we have the new care and can- not shift it. And, breaking up the camp of care and igolation, let us bravely and hope- fully and soberly continue the march of faith- ful service and falter not until the work is done.
