Nervous Cramps in Hands and Feet. Dr. Mllesmervlne Was My Salvation. Sleeplessness is at once a symptom and a sease. Just as soon s the nerves become deranged the patient suffers from sleepless- ness. Deprived of their natural rest the nerves soon lose all force and vitality and while sleeplessness is a symptom in such cases it frequently becomes chronic and remains the chief effect of disordered nerves. Dr. Miles' Nervine quiets the nerves and strengthens them; soothes the tired brain and_permits sleep; restores lost energy and ity and brings sleep, health and strength. “Previous to our coming to_the territ three years ago, we lived in ) and it was there that 1 got acquainted with the wonderful powers of Dr. Miles' Nervine. I had been under the doctor's care and taking his medicine for over two years, butthe nerv- ous trouble that was gnawing my life away grew steadily worse. I had nervous cramps in my hands and legs, which would draw up and pain me so that I could notsleep at night. Often I never closed my eyes for days and nights together. The doctor finalls told me he could do nothing more for me that I wag on the verge of insanity. He told me 1 mi try your Nervine as a last and it proved to be my salvation. d used four bottles of the remedy together with the Nerve and Liver Pills I had re- former good bealth."—] 7EFFER, Omer, Oklahoma.

Detectives Think That Crooks Have a Lair in the Neighborhood. —_— ‘What the detectives pronounce to have been one of the most clever jobs done by burglars for some time was discovered early yesterday morning at 211 Jones street. A liguor store, conducted by Frank Weymouth, had been entered and an unusually large quantity of stock stolen. The thieves opened one lock with a skeleton key and then, being retarded by a padlock, sawed a section of the door out in such a manner as to re- lease the lock and, after they had de- parted, to prevent discovery of the crime until daylight. Captain Martin had De- tectives Harper and Bell work on the case until a late hour last night, but the crooks were not apprehended. This is the second time within the last month that Weymouth's store has been visited by burglars, and a restaurant ad- joining was entered during the latter part of July. On the first occasion the rob- bers contented themselves with what cash was in Weymouth's register. They entered with skeleton keys and went away with $20. Then followed the burg- lary in a restaurant conducted by Mrs. C. Moody at 202 Jones street. This time provisions and cigars valued at $0 were stolen. They were bulky and must have been carrled away plecemeal or in a vehicle, After the.first crime Weymouth placed a heavy padlock, in addition to the other lock, on the door. This the criminals must have discovered, for when they vis- ited the pl vesterday morning they were prepared with a locksaw. They operated cleverly and the detectives say that it must have taken them at least half an hour to saw out the section of the door on which the lock was fastened. After this they en- tered and carried away thirteen boxes of cigars, nineteen gallon jugs of whisky and a’ two-gallon jug of port wine. Just how this bulk of stuff was taken from the place unseen is a mystery. It is the theory, however, that the property is stored somewhere In the neighborhood and that gang of burglars, responsible for several other crimes, have their den not far distant. Four empty cigar boxes, from which the cigars had been dumped, | were found but h this supports suc believed that the iIf a block distant and a theory. It is also thieves made several trips to the place, taking as much as they could carry each time and conceal- ing themselves when the different patrol- Hurt in a Runaway. OAKLAND, Aug. 12—Dr. O. C. Hyde and W. W. Craig, paying teller at the Union National Bank, were thrown out of the physician's buggy in a runaway this evening at 6:15 o'clock at the corner of Twelfth and Jefferson streets. The horse took sudden fright while passing the corner and Dr. Hyde, who was driv- ing, lost control. Both Craig and the physiclan were badly ecut and bruised.

BANKER'S WIFE PAWNG JEWELS Ethel Giershoffer Tells Sad Tale to Judge Graham. She Is Granted a Decree of Divorce From Man Who Abandoned Her. Though she was married to Edgar Giershoffer, a wealthy New York banker, Ethel Glershoffer was once reduced to the necessity of pawning her diamonds to ralse funds to provide her with suste- nance. It was because she had been | abandoned by her. husband 3000 miles away from her home, relatives and friends that the necessity arose. She was | granted a divorce yesterday. She began the action some months ago, after having made many appeals to Giershoffer. She said that the marriage was in 1892. They lived in New York until 1901, when they started on a tour of the world. She | went no farther, however, than this city, | remaining here while her husband went to Japan. After an absence of several weeks he returned, but much to her sur- prise did not remain, but went straight to New York, where he is now, notwith- standing that he knew his wife was in want. She wrote to him repeatedly, she says, but got no response, and she finally, when her jewelry was gone and starva- tion stared her in the face, sought the ald of her parents. Suits for divorce were filed yesterday by Rosa Beck agalnst Benjamin Beck for failure to provide, Josephine L. Libbey against Albert Libbey for cruelty, Kath- | erine G. Cashman against Henry D. Cash- man for cruelty, and D. E. Williams | against W. J. Wildams for cruelty. Divorces were granted to Neva H. Clark Redpath from Emma G. Redpath for de- sertion, Jassamine ‘B. James from Frank | E. James for neglect, Susie Leary from John H. Leary for neglect and Adeline Theresa Carmichael from George Car- michael for desertion. ————— Arbitration Committee Will Meet. A meeting of the represestatives of the gas and electric companies of San Fran- | cisco will be held in the Mayor's office to-morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock to dis- cuss the linemen's strike, and if possible to arbitrate the differences. This sugges- | tion was made at a conference of the strikers held last week, and as the rep- resentatives of the firms agree to attend, it may result in a settlement of the strike. pLee s BEY ! Lafferty May Recover. | The condition of Dr. W. H. Lafferty, who was shot yesterday by his son-in- law, George C.

Henley will be held in jail until Lafferty’s condition will justify the court in fixing bonds. —_———— Injured by a Wagon. Francis H.
