It cannot stop to rest. It must be | strengthened and regulated. The blood must be enriched, the heart nmerves strengthemed and the circulation improved by the great heart and biood tonic, Dr. Miles' Heart Cure. There is positively nothing to. equal this wonderful medicine in its beneficial infiuence upon hearts weakened from any cause. “I am very grateful for what Dr. Miles Heart Cure has done for me, 25 I am confi- dent I would not be alive y bhad I not learned of its wonderful virtues and taken it before it was too late. 1 had been a sufferer from valvular heart disease for many years. in fact ever since I was a little girl and for three years before I began uin's‘lun Cure I was in very bad shape.

A daring morning in theft occurred yesterday the Epicure restaurant, 135 While a number of peopls were eating their morning meal and when ar of the establishment for a moment a crook entered, walked behind the coun- ter end took $i91 § from the cash regis- | ter and escaped. J. W. Gossett, one of the proprietors, opened the place before 6 o'clock in the morning. He commenced serving cus- tomers and deposited a large amount of money with which to pay the day's bills | in the cash register. Finally the butcher arrived and Gossett came from behind e counter and passed to the rear that he might give nstructions as to the di position of the meat. While in the kitchen he heard the bell on the register ring and for a moment did not pay any at- o it, thinking that one of the was making change. “thief’ e one called time (o see a man dash out of and make his eséipe up the Several people joined the pro- wd aiters in the chase, but the disappeared in a small alley. The police were immediately notified and de- tectives placed on the case.

A number of per- sons have called on us, represenling themselves as the agents of would be purchasers, but they have all refused to divulge who their principals were. .We have told-them in as many words that whenever they were ready to name their principals and give us evidence of their sincerity would =it down and talk business with them. u can state that so far as I am cencerned, and I probably would be among the first to know it, no deal for the transfer of the road has been ef- fected, and I know of no deal being un- dertaken. COULD BUY QUIETLY. “Of course, parties could deal direct with the stockholders and quietly buy | their holdings without necessarily letting the officials of the road know anything xbout the transaction. This Is frequently ne so as not to disturb the management a concern, but I don’t believe it has been done in the case of the California and Northwestern road.” President Foster, who with his financiai soclates controls the California and Northwestern, which has a lease of the n Francisco and North Pactfic Coast ad, also denles that he has sold or is about to sell his roads, but it is known that he would sell if hé could get his | price. The Southern Pacific officlals do not take kindly to the suggestion that the Santa Fe is planning to parallel their road in the northern territory, and in discussing the matter yesterday one of the prominent traffic officials of the Southern Pacific Company said that the venture would never pay, inasmuch as the Southern Pacific Company has falled to realize satisfactory profits from the traffic in its northern route, and that there was less chance for the Santa Fe realizing as much on its proposed coast route, where development is slow and the | country but thinly populate®. A report has gained circulation that President Harriman of the Bouthern Pa- cific Company has thwarted the plans of the Santa Fe to get control of the Call- fornia and Northwestern, but how the story does not explain. As stated before, Mr. Foster controls the bulk of the stock of the coast road, and he emphatically denies that he has entered into arrangements with any one. From any logical standpoint, however, the Santa Fe is regarded as the most likely new owner of the California and North- western If a deal is really to be made. one of the proprietors had stepped to the | and he rushéd | ded yvesterday from the Marin West- | gard with which all others have | rthwestern still deny that there is any | of late by persons | GILDED YOUTHS IN A FIERCE MIDNIGHT BRAWL IN THE DUNLAP LODGING-HOUSE breaking his nose and hammering him over the head.

Lennon Jr., the 16-year-old son of John A. Lennon, a wholesale grocer | at 315 Clay street, is at the Harbor Hos- | pital suffering from concussion of the brain, the result of a fall received on Thursday afternoon in a scuffle with | Charles May, a youngster employed by | Lennon senior as a porter. Young Len- non is thought to be fatally injured. The accident occurred at 315 Clay street | during the absence of Lennon _senior. | Young Lennon is well grown for his | years and when visiting at his father's store was in the habit of engaging in friendly boxing and wrestling bouts with | May, who is about his own age. | The encounter on Thursday seems to | have been somewhat livelier than usual and finished when May landed his em- ployer's son a Stiff punch in the stomach. | ‘What followed the blow is not quite | clear. May declares that Lennon did not fall down and did not strike his head | § against anything. The doctors, however, | =ay that the boy not only struck his head, but bumped it with considerable violence. There was no {1l feeling between the boys, but is thought that May in his fear at #ie unexpected outcome of the scuffle is not telling all he knows. “After I hit Lennon,” said May yester- day, “he straightened up as if in pain. I helped him into the office, and when he commenced vomiting we sent for the | ambulance.” | Lennon was taken to the Harbor Hos- pital, where Dr. Weger found the boy | to be suffering from concussion of the brain. By Dr. Weger's orders knowledge of the serious nature of the boy's injury was withheld from the press. Lennon is still unconscious. A trained nurse is In charge of the case, and the boy’'s parents and sister keep constant vigll by the cotside. TRAINMEN ADJOURN ' UNTIL MONDAY NEXT An Advance in Their Wages Means to the Railroad Half a Million Dollars. After a long session yesterday the of- ficials of the Southern Pacific Company and the trainmen’s committees adjourned thelr conference over the latter's de- mands for higher wages, to Monday morning. The action was taken in order to permit Manager Agler and the division superintendents to turn their attention to business matters of the road, which had been neglected during the past few days. In the forenoon of yesterday the super- intendents met with Manager Agler to discuss the details of the demands of the trainmen insofar as they had been consldered the previous day and in the afiernoon representatives of both sides resumed their conference. The matter of an advance is being taken up in a 3ystematic way, each di- vision being comsidered separately and especially as to what an increase will mean -to the company as an additional ex- pense. It" was stated yesterday that if a 15 and 12 per cent advance is granted 2o the freight and passenger trainmen fespectively, as has been thé case on other roads, it will increase tife operating expenses over the entire Southern Pacifio systems about $500,000. The present conference, of course, only bears upon the men employed on the western system of the road, but a similar conference is now on in New Orleans to dctermine the same questions. ————— B.F.
