ACTRESSES BECOME ILL AFTER EATING BONBONS Allege the Presence of Poison in Candy Received From an Un- known Source. SAN DIBEGO, Nov. 2.—Miss Rita Knight, en ectress, had an unpleasant ex- perience in San Bernardino on Thursday night. She had received from an unknown gource & box of candy and partook of it freely. She soon became violently il Three other members of the company with whom Miss Knight shared the bon- bons also became ill, but less seriously. Physicians were calied and the young | jadies soon began to mend. Miss Knight | was able to play last night.

TACOMA, Nov. 22.—Several causes com- bined to-day to force bluestem wheat from 8§ to 82 cents and club from T3 to 7 cents, Careful investigation this week has shown that the shortage in the crop will be greater- than was at first sup- posed. It is believed now that the crop is practically all handled and the short- age will 'average between 30 and 25 per cent, Tke situation has compelled rapid buy- ing by both millers' and exporters. The demand of the latter for spot wheat has been heightened by a car shortage and blockade on the Northern Pacific, which has reduced grain receipts to a minimum. The loading of a number of vessels is being delayed until more wheat arrives. Millers are buying heavily to prevent a repetition of their experiences of last spring, when they found themselves short, the exporters having cleaned out everything in sight. The millers will not take chances again and are storing their warehouses full. The stiff demand since the season opened has resulted in the moving of the crop to Tacoma three months earlier than usual. Very little grain remains in the farmers’ hands and exporters will withdraw their buyers from the grain districts early in December. PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 22.—The steam.- er Melville Dollar sailed to-day for San Francisco with a full cargo of wheat. For several weeks past heavy shipments of wheat have been set afloat at this port for San Francisco, and exporters are sald to have found it as profitable as to send the grain to foreign ports. A big demand for wheat in Australia has in- fluene the shipments from Portland, since San Francisco has been unable to supply the demand. RIVERSIDE, Nov. 22.—The first shipment of oranges frem the Riverside district went Bast to-day. They were quite well colored for early fruit, ELECTRIG MRS CMSH TOBETHER Eight Passengers Are In- { jured, but None Fatally. |Mrs. Charles F. Warwick Is Severely Cut on the Forehead. — San Mateo car No. 51 ran into car No. 1004 of the Mission street line at the Four- teenth and Mission streets crossing at 6:45 last evening. Eight people were in- { jured by being thrown to the ground and with flying glass and splinters. The Mission-street cars have the right of way at the crossing. It was during the busy hour of the evening that the accident occurred. Bells were sounded, but the San Mateo car,'in charge of Motorman E. W. Gray and Conductor E. F. Bush, failed to come to the required stop. The Mis- sion-street cdr, in charge of Motorman W. ‘W. Mitchell and Conductor W. T. Botreff, hove in view and started across the street, when it was struck in the middle. The cars came together with sufficient force to break every window in each of them. The mission-street car, which was westbound, was crowded with people re- turning from work, while the southbound San Mateo car had but few passengers aboard. Many of them were thrown hard on the cobblestones and others Avere badly cut by flying glass. The speed of the two vehicles was re- duced somewhat at the crossing, other- wise some one would have been killed. The crash was heard for blocks and a large crowd soon gathered. The injured were removed to the South- ern Pacific Hospital, while many who were only cut slightly by glass or bruised by contact with the street were able to g0 to their homes. Charles F. Warwick of 8 Lexington ave- nue was riding with his wife and boy on the Mission-street car. Mrs. Warwick received the Inost serious injuries of any one. She was taken to the Southern Pa- cific Hospital, where a gash in her fore- head was sewed up. So severe was the pain that she fainted under the opera- tion. Mr. Warwick was also severely cut on the forehead, while the boy was badly bruised. John Feno of 326 Day street recelved a lacerated wound of the nose and & badly wrenched neck. Mary Stultz of 12 Godeus street had her scalp severely cut by flying glass. ‘W. H. Whitten of 320 Valley street re- ceived several cuts about the head. T. 8. Barr of 237 Twenty-elghth street had his right leg severely cut. J. H. Suentin of 7B Allemany street suf- fered a laceration of the scalp. Outside of Mrs. Warwick's none of the injuries were dangerous, though all were very painful. Mrs. Warwick will be con- fined to the hospital for several days. The San Mateo car was npt badly wrecked and was able to back away and return to the carhouse. The Mission street car, however, had its rear trucks displaced and while being taken to the carbarn jumped the track at Sixteentn street. Traffic was blocked for three hours while an attempt was made to re- place the wrecked vehicle, Surgeon G. R. Carson of the United Rallroads, his assistants and znessengers were on the scene promptly afid immedi- ate ald was renderéd the injured. e =y COLLIDES WITH WAGON. Horse Is Thrown Down and Its Hip | Dislocated. At 7:45 o’clock last evening car No. 975 of the Third-street line collided at Bry- ant street with a laundry wagon driven by J. Persich and owned by the Yosemite Laundry Company, 15 Hermann street. The wagon was badly smashed and the horse was thrown to the ground and its hip dislocated. Persich escaped unin- jured. S CAR TRAFFIC DELAYED. Broken Rail at Valencia and Twenty- fifth Streets Impedes Travel. A broken rail at Valencia and Twenty- fifth streets was dragged by passenger train No. 10 last night at 7:10 ¢’clock. The train dragged the broken part of the rail far enough to close the slot in the cable track on Valencia street. At the time a cable car came along and was brought tc a sudden stop, but no one was injured. There was a delay in traffic, both on the outhern Pacific and the cable lineg, be- fore the car could be withdrawn and the rail replaced. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 22.—Embassador Tower, who has been transferred from St. Petersburg to Berlin, had hig farewell audience with the Czar at Livadia on Wednesday. He afterward lunched with his Majesty and the Czarina. ADVERTISEMENTS. A SOURCE OF SURPRISE To Physician and Patient Alike. Dr. Redmond, a specialist in the study and'treatment of piles and rectal diseases, recently stated that the Pyramid Pile Cure, the new discovery for the cure of piles, was the most remarkable remedy he had ever seep or tricd in one respect, and that was th instant relief experienced in all cases, no matter how severe, from the moment the remedy was applied; this ! was the more suprising to him because he had carefully analyzed the preparation and no trace of opium, cocaine or similar poison could be detected. Physicians look with great favor upon the Pyramid Pile Cure, because it is rapidly taking the place of surgical ope- rations and because it is so simple, so easily applied and contains no mineral or other poisons so commonly used in piie cures. Dr. Esterbrook reports that the Pyra- mid Pile Cure not only cures the various forms of piles, but never fails to give immediate relief on the first application, no matter how severe the pain or discom- fort may be. Pcople who have suffered from piles for years are often astonished at the instant relief experienced from the first applica- tion. Another important advantage is the fact that any one can use the remedy without detention from business or inter- ference with daily occupation. Mr. J. W. Rollins of Sweet Springs, Mo., writes: I consider the Pyramid Pile | Cure without an equal; it cured me in less than thirty days. I waited fifteen days or more to be sure I was fully cured be- fore writing you; I can now say I am cured and I shall recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure at every possible opportunity, because it deserves it. The popularity of this remedy is such that all druggists now sell it at 50 cents @ package and its sales exceed those of all similar remedies combined. f ‘Write Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, ‘Mich., for their book on cause and cure of : piles. i ) Rupture | L7 Y D Pieroe's Elrctric Truss EFY is 5 Murvel.

T. L. Van der Naililen, president of the club, presided and a number of speeches were made in favor of the various propo- sitions. Ex-Supervisor/ Charles Wesley Reed made the principal address. He spoke in favor of the Geary-street Rallroad propo- sition. His address, in part, follows: “The proposition to be submitted to the people on December 2 is most con- servative. Nb crosstown lines are con- templated — no extensions. When the right of the Geary Street, Park and Ocean Rafiroad to use the streets of San Fran- cisco expires on November 6, 1903, it is proposed that the people shall take up tke right that bas reverted to them and exercise it for their own profit. We will own the roadbed, but not the roliing stock and other personal property. There- fore we must build 2 new powerhouse, 11evide cars and otherwise equip the road. it is for this purpose that the seven hun. thousand ($700,000) dollars to be raised by the bond issue is to be devoted. The only thing contemplated is the doing away with the cable road. *“1t is to be changed into an electric line with the wires in an underground conduit. The electricity is to be conveyed to the car by means of an electric plow, much like the cable grip. The engineer | selected by the Board of Public Works to make these plans was a man of long ex- perience, J. C. H. Stut. He had bullt ghe Omnibus Cable road and was a thorot ly practical man, Mr. Stut was sent to New York and Washington to observe the workings of the electric railroads of those cities. He reported that the elec- tric roads in Washington and New York are a perfect success and that the cost of cperdtion is much less than a cable road or even an ordinary overhead trol- ley. The unsightly poles are dispensed with and the dangerous overhead elec- tric wires as well. More than this, we are to have a fat-grooved rail, which will reduce the wear and tear on horses and wagons to a minimum. “The introduction of this grooved rail on the Geary-street road will result in- evitably in its use by the other railroads. In time a wWagon can pass over a street- car track with scarcely a jar. Surely those who use the streets for driving should be inclined to support the Geary- street road for this reason alone. If the city would have to constiruct the conduits much more money would have to be pro- vided. But Mr. Stut says the massive conduits of the Geary-street cable road can be utilized for the electrio conduits with but slight changes. NO RISKS INVOLVED. “‘Our proposition is one that involves no risks of failure and presents many at- tractive improvements. We will have the most modern of railroads with the very latest improvements in electrical engineer- Ing. We will injure no one, we will de- press no man’s property, and we will not subject existing railroads to any greater competition than they now have to face. e EERR—— ADVERTISEMENTS. ' REMARKABLE SUCCESS \ Of a New Catarrh Cure. A large and constantly inereasing ma- jority of the American people are catarrh sufferers. This is not entirely _.e result of ouf changeable climate, butsKecause modern investigation has clearly proven that many diseases, known by other] names, are really catarrh. Formerly the name catarrh was applied almost exclu- sively to the common nasal catarrh, but the throat, stomach, liver, bladder, kid- neys and intestines are subject to ca- tarrhal diseases as well as the nasal pas- sages. In fact, wherever there is mucous mem- brane there is a feeding ground for ca- tarrh. The usual remedies, inhalers, sprays, douches or powders, have been practically failures, as far as anything more than temporary relief was concerned, because they simply dry up the mucous secre- tions, without having the remotest -effect upon the blood and liver, which are the real sources of catarrhal diseases. It has been known for some years that the radical cure of catarrh could never come from local applications, but from an interral remedy, acting on the blood and expelling the catarrhal poison from the system. A new internal preparation, which has been on the market only a short time, has met with remarkable success as a genu- ine, radical cure for catarrh, It may be found in any drug store, sold under the name of Stuart’s Catarrh Tab- lets, large and pleasant tasting lozenges, composed - principally of antiseptic ingre- dients, Bloodroot, Red Gum and similar catarrh specifics. Dr. Ainslee, in speaking of the new ca- tarrh cure, says: “I have tried the new catarrh remedy, Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets, upon thirty or forty patients with re. markable satisfactory results. They clear the head and throat more effectually and lastingly than any douche or inhaler that I have ever seen, and although they are what is called a patent medicine and sold by druggists, I do not hesitate to recom- mend them, as I know them to be free from cocgine and opiates, and that even a iittle child may use them with entire safety.” Any sufferer from nasal catarrh, throat or bronchial trouble, catarrh of the stom. ach, liver or biadder will find Stuart's Ca- tarrh Tablets remarkably effective, pleas- ant and convenient, and your druggist will teil you they are absolutely free from any injurious drug.

The cities of New York and Brooklyn own the road operating over the Brooklyn bridge which connects them. No enemy of public ownership has ever found the slightest fault with the efficiency and ex- cellence of this municipal enterprise, while the fact that the cities operating it only charge three cents for a. single fare points the way to what would happen in case cities generally owned their street railroads. “If New York and Brooklyn have made a success for the last nineteen years of their gouniclpal road, why cannot San Frnmgco make a success of the Geary- street road? The fact is that the opponents of municipal ownership have no evidence to offer in support of their cause. Municipal ownership of water works the world ovcr is a great success. Municipal ownership of street railrcads in England is a great success, and the only example of muni- cipal ownership of a street railway in ihe United States is a great success. MARGIN OF PROFIT GREAT. “Examine the question of profit made by “the street railroads of San Francisco. The Market street system has recently been sold to Eastern speculators for forty million dollars in round numbers, and is now capitalized at nearly eighty millions. An examination of the books of the company shows that the year pre- vious to the sale, the Market-street Com- pany made four million dollars net rev- enue. What was invested to produce this income? Not more than twelve mill®n dollars. Evgry part of the Market street system, incfuding the rolling stock and other property, could be replaced for twelve million dollars. We know from the testimony in the Siebe case that the/Mar- ket street system was built by its bonds, and that the money raised by the sale of stock went into the pockets of the rail- road"manipulators. ““Whenever a million dollars of bonds was sold this money was used to con- struct the road, but immediately a million dollars of stock was issued which went into the pockets of the stockholders as profits. Much of this stock was used to purchase favorable action on the part ef political bosses and politicians. When the united railroads took over this property recently 1t paid nearly two hundred thou- sand dollars- to Christopher A. Buckley for his shares of stock. 0 ““We see, then, that the street railroads of San Francisco make enough net reve- nue to pay the entire expense of the mu- nicipal government, and that they are immensely overcapitalized. In the face of these obvious fact, Mf. Platt, president of the Geary-street Company, insists that the blighting touch of municipal owner- ship will turn these profitable businesses into burdensome failures. Such has not been the case however, with municipal water works, and it will not be the case with municipal railroads. The margin of profit is too great to permit of faflure.” Naph Greenr(elder of the campaign commitfe:: apreinted by the vorious civic societies reac. and explained the proposed Principal Morton of the Lowell High School advocated the adoption of amendment No. 2, decreasing the cost and number of special elections. H. A. Mason, secretary of the ‘Califor- nia League of Municipalities, advocated municipal ownership of public utilities, and Supervisor Braunhart spoke in favor of the Gearyystreet Railroad proposition in particular. Looked Upon as a Hoax. The police are inclined to look upon the threatening letter sent to William Ritchie, a motorman on the San Fran- cisco and San Mateo electric road, who was an important witness at the trial of William Kauffman for the murder of Po- liceman Eugene C.
