I was |invited to inspect the same on the | ground that it was worthy of in- spectfon, as being one ofy the re- cent marvels 'of the present d 'in point of reduction of cost, rapid- ity of manufacture and simplicity of works in the manufacture of ice, I spent some time ot the Baltimore (Md.) plant, and can state without the least partic of hesitation that I saw absolutely pure ice made in the time specifiea, without the aid of chemicals, salt or ammonia, and have no hesitation in = my judgment it will process of making ice wherever used. I have conversed with several well- known physicians relative. to this new method for the manufacture of ice, and they promounce it one that will produce 1 hygienic pure ice, free from bacillus, talnt or odor, and an ics of great value in sickness, domestic uses, private re- frigeration and for the shipment and transpertation of ‘meats, fruits and vege- tables. 1 think that you gentlemen, in the inauguration of a’ company control- ling the Pacific Slope, have an industry that will not only prove remunerative in a large degree to the investors, but will £0 cheapen ice as to increase its use among many who are now prohibited from using same by reason of the high ost, and that this process will supersede all others now In use in due time. 1 am glad, to add my testimonia] to any- | thing that will encourage new business | enterprises on this Coast, especially when the illustration shown in the KEastern that any one can revolutionize the Judge of its merits.

OPPENHEIMER'S CASE Agplies for a \ir—rirB:cnuse a Contin- uance Was Granted Under Objection. Mrs. Lena Oppenheimer, through her attorney, T. M. O'Connor, applied for a writ of habeas gorpus before Judge Cook vesterday for* release, and it was made returnable Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Oppenheimer was arrested some time ago for threats against life, the person threatened being the proprietress shooting gallery on Grant_avenue. The case was called be- fore Police Judge Fritz® last December, and as a request was made that the evl- dence should be taken down in view of a possible appeal, the Judge had to take it in longhand, as there is no provision in the cRarter for evidence being taken by the court stenographer in such cases. The task appalled the Judge when he was informed that there were over 120 witnesses for the prosecution and de- fense, but he stuck to it till a few were examined when he weakened. A con- tinuance was granted recently against the objection of the defendant's attor- rey and the application for the writ is based upon the allegation that the Police Court has lost jurisdiction, having con- tinued the trial for a period longer than that preseribed by law and there being no good cause for such continuance. ———————— Special Session of Trustees.

ELY, Minn., Feb. 2—A cave-in at the P neer mine caused the death of Jacob Makie, & Finn, and injured three other: SCOTT’S EMULSION. The Other Half Half the children in the world actually need Scott’s Emulsion. The other half would be benefitted by it. A goodly postion of the latter half have already been helped by Scott’s Emulsion. They have been made comfortable and well. They have been " supplied with the element of fat that their bcdies are con- stantly in need of. Scott’s Emulsion has done even more for them; it has furnished nourishment which their or- dinary food has not supplied. The lack of proper nourish- ment in a child’s food is re- sponsible for its failure to thrive and grow as it should. So long as the important ele- ments of nourishment are not contained in the child’s food it will remain thin and lack the plumpness and glow of youth that marks the prop- erly fed child. What can be done ror such children? Give them Scott’s Emulsion. It is so palatable and acceptable that children like it. Cream of cod liver oil it could be called. for it re- sembles cream very closely. Moreover, being predigested, Scott's Emulsion enters the system quickly “ and with least tax upon the stomach. The delicate digestive organs of a backward child accept and retain Scott’s Emulsion when other fcrms of nourish- ment are repulsive. It makes up the short-comings of a child’s ordinary food and fur- nishes nourishment and fat in proper proportions and in the proper way. So-called wines, cordials and extracts of cod liver oil should always be avoided. No matter what the claims may be, they do not contain the value of the whole oil, and hence .are worthless in cases where a reliable cod liver oil preparation is neces- sary. Their sole purpose is to taste 'nice, and the use of alcohol and strong extracts makes them really harmful in many cases. Scott's Emul- sion contains the whole oil carefully prepared, palatably presented, and is a_safe and reliable preparation. We’ll send you a sample free upon request.
