ADDITIONAL PROTECTION FOR GAME IN YOSEMITE Major Rucker Decides to Have the Park Policed in Winter as Well as Summer Months. YOSEMITE, Dec. 19.—Major Louis H. Rucke¥, Sixth Cavalry, Troop F, superin- tendent of the Yosemite National Park, has just made a second trip down the canyon of the Merced River twenty miles from Yosemite Valley, where a cable bridge and foot trail are being construct- €d to aid the mail system and the public. The mzjor reports that the bridge is com- pleted and in a short time the trail will also be finished. He says that his two forest rangers, Charles Leidig and Archi- bald Leonard, have been doing excellent work in the park this winter. In previous years so soon as the troop | left the park in November for the Pre- sidio, sportsmen from all the surrounding country would pour into the park and make a general slaughter of the game. The soldiers only protected the game in the summer for the hunters to kill by the wholesale in the winter. The Government only provides two forest rangers to guard the park during the winter months and it i= not possible for them to do justice to such a large area of land. It is easy for the hunters to ascertain their where- abouts and avoid them. This season the major announced his intention of making trips into the park throughout the winter. This is the first time any superintendent has ever done this, and it has had the de- | sired effect—to intimidate the hunters—so the forest rangers and people in this vi- cinity report. ‘The major expects to make another visit very soon by the way of Raymond. riven north twenty miles beyond Cape | SHOT WHILE EATING DINNER Los Angeles Man Has a Nar- row Escape From Death.

WILLOWS, ec. 2.—George Parker, a | workingman, died about 6:45;0'clock this | morning from wounds inflicted by Deputy Sheriff G. M. Potts, a prominent and weil- | known citizen of Wiilows. The tragedy | was the result of Potts' endeavoring to | arrest Parker for stealing Christmas &oods fromr the steps of the residence of C. R. Wickes, a son-in-law of Potts. When Potts attempted to make the ar- rest Parker resisted, drawing a knife on the officer and inflicting several wounds about the left shoulder and arm. Potts pulled a revolver from his pocket and | struck Parker on the head. Parker soon ceased_struggling and Potis let loose of | him. Parker tumbled over on the ground and began to vomit.

Nineteen days out trom the Ciyde, eight days overdue, tho | Nebraska crept into port here with | smashed lifeboats, demolished lighthouses and broken and twisted rails. It was the first clear day the voyagers had seen | since December, when the Nebraska steamed out of Moville, Ireland, in the face of a gale that swept her decks. On board the Allan State liner when she | left Glasgow on December 6 were 10 sa. loon, 30 second cabin and 70 steerage pas- | sengers. Officers and passengers declared | the wreckage on deck gave but a faint idea of the horror of the voyage. Three times the machinery broke down and the | vessel had to be hove to. | Gales and head seas swept the ship | from the moment she left Moville at mid. | night of December 11, the feed pipes of | the engines gave out and the Nebraska | was hove to for three hours, headed info | the seas washing over her. | It was at this .ime that a wave smasted | the two lighthouses containing the_ side- lights. The vessel was rolling and lift- ing to the seas or plunging into ‘them. The steerage passengers were all in ter- ror and the cabin voysgers clung to their | berths. The feed pipes were repaired and | improvised sidelights placed. | The engines could not force her forward | at more than three knots an hour. Some- | times she moved less than two knots.| Two of the lifeboats on the port side forward were smashed to splinters on De- cember 15. The vessel logged but fifty miles for that twenty-four hours, and for | ix days she made less than ninety miles. The engines had to be stopped on the 15th to cool some overheated journals, and | the next day the main steampipes gave so much trouble another stop had to be | made. | The only one of the crew injured in the | long voyage was Willlam Thompson, a fireman, who was hurled against the deck rails and had two ribs fractured. Captain David Ingram of Vancouver, who has circled the globe twice, was one of the passengers. He said that three times the voyagers felt that all hope was gone. Not a meal could be served in the saloon during the voyage. Praise for Golored Troops. “The common idea is that the Indlan is brave and the negro a coward. Let me| | glve you an instance to show the con- | trary " said _Captain Philip P. Powell of the Ninth United States Cavalry, the colored regiment that fought with Roose- velt’s Rough Riders. The captain is at the Palmer House.

The eight-room house for campaign pur- Eoeus that arrived in China for the use of neral von Waldersee and staff was the object of a great deal of comment among the officers of the allied forces, relates the Saturday Evening Post. One of the Amer- icans, who has a fine record as an officer under General Grant in our Civil War, said dryly: “Well, ‘this is something new in cam- paigning. It may do well enough in China and for a Count, but it wouldn't do for Americans. .~ T remember what General Grant took with him on his final six days’ g¢ampaign below Vicksburg.

Knew Something Besides What He Read in Books. The wise, up-to-date, modern doctor is no longer tied down to the hard and fast rules of what his medical books say he shall use and what he may withhold in treating his patient. The suceessful doctor nowudsfl is the one who is quick to avail himself of any remedy, new or old, which holds out a chance of cure no matter whether it Is Allopathie, Homeopathic or neither one. Dr. Jennison, in an interesting article on Wpdigestition and dyspepsia says: ““Nine-tenths of all people, who apply to me for advice and treatment think they have this ailment or that ailment, but I find on close examination that their whole trouble arises from poor digestion. They have little appetite, and if they do have an appefite, the food they eat does them no good. Why? Because it is but half digested, causing thin blood, weak nerves, sleeplessness, aching bones, ains in chest, formation of gases, belch- ng, ete. They tell me they belleve they have consumption, or heart disease, rheu- matism, nervous prostration, in fact most every disease but the right one. In reality, the whole trouble is in the stomach and nowhere else. Now what do | I do with such people? I don’t feed them on pre-digested foods Iliki bables, nor “stomach bitters,” nor tent nostrums which I know nothing about. No honor- able physiclan will prescribe a remedy unless he knows what It contains and its probable effects. For all such patients I have but one prescription, I advise them to go to the | nearest drug store and get a 50-cent box | of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. I use them with remarkable success in all cases of indigestion amd stomach trouble, because I know what Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets consist of and what they 1 do. They contain the vegetable essences, diastase | and government test pepsin, which are tha | things every weak stomach lacks to re- store natural digestive vigor, and if had dysxepsl myself it is the one remedy I should take. ‘When a patient comes to me complain- ing of dull headaches, sour stomach. bad | taste, nervousness, belching of gas, or | heart trouble, which is generally causea from indigestion, I tell him to take one or two of Stuart's Tablets after each meal and as often during the day as he has any trouble, and I feel confident I have gliven that patient the best advice I could ve." Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are large, pleasant: tasting logenges, containing dlas- | tase and pepsin, combined with fruit and | vegetable essences. They are not cathar- tic and do not act on any particular organ like ordinary drugs, but simply act en- tirely on the food eaten. They are a nat- ural digestive, pure and simple. Stuart’s spepsia Tablets are sold by druggists at 50 cents per package through- out the United States, Canada and Great Britain.
