Vital Power Is that subtle influence that makes each organ of the body sble and active in maintaining health. It is only another name for nerve-force That is why such disorders as neuralgia, headache, backache, indigestion, worry, irritable temper and loss of sleep, that depress the spirits and weaken the nerves, also destroy the vitality. To maintain your vital power and resistive strength see to it that thé nerves are strong and healthy. “T was troubled with female weakness, dizzy and sinking spells and was nervous, @eepless, and confined to my bed about half of “he tdme.

The Eighth Congressional District has been changed by the latest plan so as to | include Tulare and Kings, which takes ot Democratic majority of 60. The first dis- trict was agreed upon as including both Butte and Mendocino countles, the caucus adjourned to allow some work to be done upon the sentiments of the Santa Clara people =0 as to persuade them to go in with the Sixth District. Santa Clara wants to be with San Mateo and the southern half of San Fran- cisco, and there must be some earnest That county into the Sixth District can be reached. In case Santa Clara goes into the Sixth, then the southern part of San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Cruz | will make the Fifth. Assembly apportionment was gone into far enough to decide to make a single As- sembly district of Tulare and Kings. The bill, which gave each of them one also took one from Sacramento, so when the two are consolidated it leaves an As- emblyman unaccounted for, and so Sac- amento will get back her coveted legls- lator. There will be another caucus to-mor- row, when the fate of Santa Clara will be decided upon, and to-morrow night the whole subject wiil come before the Sen- | ate. The San Francisco delgations from both enate and Assembly caucused this even- ing and the following plan of Assembly and Senatorfal districts was submitted.

SEATTLE, Feb. 20.—A daring diamond robbery occurred at 10 o'clock to-night in the heart of the business district of the city, under the glare of the electric lights and in the presence of two policemen. While the proprietor of the Chicago n Office was closing his establishment the thief hurled a brick through a large plate glass window, grabbed several hun- dred dollars’ worth of dlamond rings and made his escape in the darkness. The proprietor was powerless to offer resist- anrce, owing to the fact that the robber took the precaution to bar the door from the outside, effectively circumventing any attempt at interference from within. An examination of the window showed that a brick bound in cloth had been hurled through the glass. A chain, on either end of which was a hook. had been looped over the door and attached to the. door casing. Two police officers, who were standing near by, heard the crash and one of them saw the thief as he darted into an alley next to the Olympic Block. The thief escaped through a basement stairway leading into a saloon and into an adjoining street. Charg:d With Larceny.

COMMISSION TO SELECT SCHOOL Leavitt +Introduces ance With the the State Educational TEXTBOOKS a Bill in Accord- Recent Action of Authorities Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 20.—In pursuance of the re- cent action of the State educational au- thogities Senator Leavitt has introduced | a Dbill providing for a “State textbook | commission,” defining its dutles and pro- viding for it an appropriation of $10,006 and a permanent revenue from the sale of the books complled by the commission. The commission provided is composed of one commissioner appointed for a term of four years by the Governor, and two more, one of whom shall be the Stats Superintendent of Public Instruction and the other the Buperintendent of State Printing, both of wiiom shall serve on the commission by virtug of thelr offices. The appointed commissioner is allowed a sal- ary of 33000 a year and the commission is allowed to appoint a secretary at a salary | of $2400 a year. The appointed commis- sioner is required to file a bond of $5000. The dutles of the commission are set | g«;lrlth in the following paragraph of me‘ Sald Commissioners shall immediately enter | upon the discharge of their duties, and shall power, subject to the approval of the | Board of Education, to revise such text or books as they may d for the use of the throughout the State, or to purchase, contract for or lease copyrights, engravings, plates and other mat- ter of similar character, for the purpose of | Tocuring a first-class, uniform series of text- s for use in all the common schools of the State of Californja; they shall have power to prescribe and erfforce the use of & uniform serles of textbooks and a course of study in all the public schools, and to adopt a list of bocks and apparatus for supplementary use and for district school libraries, subject to the AIL SATISFIES THE "SMASHER” Mi‘s. Carrie Nation Declines Offer of a Bond for Her Relaase. —_— TOPEKA, Kans., Feb. 20.—Judge Hazen of the District Court to-day continued the case of Mrs. Carrie Natlon, charged with smashing Murphy’'s joint, until the April | term of court. The cases against Dr. Eva Harding, Mrs. Rose Crist. Miss Madeline Southard, Mrs. Chadwick and C. R. Mc-| Dowell were also continued. The feature of tue hearing this after-| noon was the way in which Mrs. Nation | enlivened the proceedings. The dignity hedging the judicial bench has no more | terrors for her than the commonest joint. | She seems to treat both joints and courts | with utter contempt. She arose several | times to address the court and each time | called him “your Dishonor.” When asked | if she were ready for trial, Mrs. Nation, who acts as her own attorney, sald: “Your Dishonor, I am incapable of try- ing my case this afternoon, as I have been poisoned by cigarette smoke in the Coun- nt to see how the other cases | are tried, anyway.” | Captain J. G. Waters, one of the attor- | neys for the defense, asked that the cases | all be postponed until the next term of court. Judge Hazen said: I see that If the cases go over until the next term of court it will be difficult to get a jury. It will be better to settle the point of !aw now. I shall call the case against Stark on Monday morning.” Stark Is charged with participating in | the raid on Murphy's joint Sunday morn- ine. He Is employed in a hardware store here. Stark’s lawyer requested that his client's case also go over for this term. “I would prefer to try a man on this | charge rather than a woman,” said Judge Hazen. “You may call a special venire if you wish and I think it will be neces- sary. I expect to try only this one case.” | Miss Madeline Southard and Mrs. Crist, who have been with Mrs. Nation in the County Jail, gave bonds for each and were released. One of the signers | of the bonds was Edward Wilder, treas- urer of the Atchison Raflway. The indications are that there will be | a bitter legal fight over the trial. The at- torneys for the defense will insist that they be granted a change of venue on ac- | count of the alleged prejudice of Judge Hazen. Mrs. Nation is yet In the County Jail | She refused an offer of bonds from her brother, J. V. Moore, of Kansas City. | WINFIELD, Kai Feb. 20.—Noon to- | day was the time set by the crusaders for the jointists of Winfield to close their | laces on pain of having them demol- | shed. The temperance people, however, accepted a report of Mayor Bright “and a committee of business men, who went through the bulldings vacated by the | ointists, that all had quit business, and | £<su-d a statement that hostilities would cease until it could be seen whether the | Mayor would keep the joints closed. By this act it Is belleved that serious trouble has been avoided, at least for the time teing. Large crowds gathered on the streets to-day waiting_ for “something to hap- pen” and the Marshal deputized several | dozen men to keep erder and prevent any | attempt at saloon smashing. The people were dispersed without trouble and the | day passed off quietly. Two jointists who engaged in Saturday's tussle were arrest- ed and held on a charge of assault with intent to kill. The County Attorney has demanded the assistance of the city of- ficials in enforeing the law against liquor | selling. - Mayor Albright has aroused | much_bitter feeing by referring to the | temperance people as ‘“‘religious cranks.” WICHITA. Kans., Feb. 20.—A definite | plan has been formed here in case of a | raid on the saloons In_ the nighttime, | which Is expscted to take place at any | moment, to call out the fire department to reinforce the inadequate police serviee. | For the purpose of quelling a riot the firemen will permanently clothed with the authority of policemen. with power | to deputize citizens, at next Monday | night’s Council meeting. and until then it is understood that they have tempo- | rary authority to make arrests. There | are twenty-siX men in the fire department =0 located that some of them can reach | any saloon in town within three minutes. | It is reported on rellable authority that Judge Dale of the District Court to-day | made a statement that the ministers of churches shall have no immunity from | arrest so far as his court is concerned if | they use language calculated to incite a riot. even thopgh such language may be used in the pulpit, Junket to Ukiah.
