THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 190s. DR. EILMER’S SWAMP-ROOT. Men on the Car - Platform Thanktul for Swamp=1Root. Attacked by Diseases Due to Cold, Exposure and the Terrible Strain-of Their Work, Motormen and Conductors Are Made Strong by This Wonderful Remedy. The daily work of a motorman is enough to break down a constitution of steel. He must face cold and storm day and night. Cooped up on his narrow platform, he must stand, while bitter winds pierce him to the bone, no matter how heavy his clothing. Every minute he must be on the alert, and in the midst of suffering his judgment must be quick and sure, for an error may cost 3 human life. Tired and hungry after hours of work that keep his nerves tense as fiddle-strings, he sits in the corner of a car to devour a cold, hasty meal from a tin pail. These brave men are exposed to risks as great as those of the battlefieid. Fortunately, when nature can stand the strain no longer, the railroad men know where to find new strength and energy. The statements printzd below tell of wonderfal cures by Swamp-Root, the great Kidney Remedy. Swamp=Root Cured Me. |Splendid Results Obtained by the Use of Swamp= A REPORTER.)

It is a pity, the County Gentleman thinks, that the value of the game sold from an estate is not always entered in the game book beside that of the total head killed in the year. It would also be a useful reminder to the own- ers that there is such a thing as econ- omy in game preserving.

Accept no substitute, GERMAN TROOPS HARD PRESSE Soldiers Meet Resistance in Attack and Are Surrounded at Omaruru, South Africa BERLIN, Feb. 6.—The Coloniale Zei- tung has received a telegram from Windhoek, German Southwest Africa, stating that the Omaruru company proceeded to Omaruru, via Karibib, and stormed that place on February 4. An extraordinarily energetic resistance was offered to the attack, the Germans losing four killed and twelve wounded, while seven were reported missing. The company is now surrounded by the en- emy, but 400 Germans, with artillery, are going to their relief. The forces which reached Windhoek from Swa- kopmund February 4, and which were intended for the relief of the Gobadis, was immediately sent back to the re- ef of the Omaruru company. The Outjo company also came to bat- tle with the natives of Ekaneno. The situation on the whole in the colony is declared to be grave. The death list has risen to 91 and the missing number more than 200. An official telegram from Swakop- mund received later states that it was Francke's company which entered Omaruru and is now surrounded there. v Treasure on a Tennessee Farm. The Seventeenth District, Tennes- see, is excited over the actions of three Strangers who have been recently dig- ging on Daniel Roody’s farm for treas: ure supposed to have been buried there over half a century ago by John A. Murrell, the outlaw. Several excava- tions have been made and part of a skeleton of a man has been found. The men have gone as mysterious as they came. Tradition has it that when Murrell buried his treasure he was assisted by a negro slave, whom he killed in order to preserve his secret. It is the skeleton of the negro which it is supposed was recently dug up.— Louisville Courier-Journal. A Celebrated Balloon Maker. M. Henrl La Chambre, the celebrated balloon maker, has just died from con- gestion of the lungs. He constructed the Ornen balloon in 1896, by means of ‘which André hoped to reach the north pole. In connection with this balloon he visited Spitzbergen, and subsequent- ly published an interesting account of the project entitled “Au Pole Nord en Ballon.” He also constructed the ill- fated airship Pax, by the coliapse of which Senor Severo lost his life, and made the airships of M. Santos-Du- mont.—Westminster Gazette. — - The German losses, according to this dispatch, are six dead, twenty-one wounded and seven missing. The force from the gunboat Habicht and Lieu- tenant Winkler's corps are marching on Omaruru, the latter from Karibib. The railway is now in operation to ‘Windhoek. z ¥ IRRESTS STIR SOCIETY FOLK - EFFORTS AT RELEASE FAIL | Brothers Are Accused of Hav- ing Robbed Citizens in the Special Dispatch to The Call. SPOKANE, Wash., Feb. 6.—Follow- ing the arrest of Freeman James, the | well-known young society youth, upon | the charge of highway robbery yes- | terday, came the arrest of his younger | brother, Norman James, on a similar charge to-day. The two arrests are creating a sen- ' sation, as the boys are sons of promi- nent people here and have been well- | known figures at all affairs of the | younger social element of the past | few years. Freeman James is 17 years | of age and tall and handsome. His brother is also large for his age. When Freeman was arrested last upon the Police Department to release the young man and avoid publicity, as it was claimed a complete alibi could be established. But the police were obdurate. Then came Samuel Glid- den, former president of the National Bank, in which the father of the boys is a clerk. Glidden also pleaded, but did not succeed. The publication of the arrest created a sensation this morning. An alibi was set up for thg older James boy, but the police say he has been posi- ; identified by one of the alleged victims, and another victim declares the younger brother robbed him upon the outskirts of the city. ——— SUISUN WOMEN START AN IMPROVEMENT CLUB Twenty-Five of the Prominent Resi- dents Combine to Improve the City’s Condition. SUISUN, Feb. 6.—The women of Sui- sun have organized themselves into an improvement club, starting out with a membership of about twenty-five. Mrs. Edward Dinkelspiel is president and Mrs. A. G. Bailey secretary.

The ladies seem to be very enthusiastic in their proposed work. ———————— SILVER DOLLAR OF 1804 BRINGS LARGE PRICE Ninety-Nine-Year-Oid Coin Goes at | $2000 to Portiand, Or., to Join Six Companions. A United States dollar, now in its ninety-ninth year, yesterday began the }!ung trip from Denver to Portland, Or., after having lain in a Denver collection of coins for more than eighteen years. Though the dollar is about the size of those coined during the present year, |and contains about the same number jof grains of silver, it brought in the neighborhood of about $5 35 per grain of pure silver in its combination, aud all this because it has been in the one form for nearly one hundred years. The dollar is one of the coinage of 11804, of which there are only sev known to be in existence. It bought by the late J. V. Dexter at t Chapman sale of coins in 1885. At that ¥me the coin had been but lately se- cured from a collection in Beriin, being the only one of the dollars that is known to have been in a foreign coi- lection. Mr. Dexter paid $1000 for the doliar, having to bid against several other coliectors, the price being at that time the largest that had ever been paid for one of the comnage named. Since then one of the other toins had been sold for $1200, a record that held good until yesterday, when H. . | Brown of Portland, Or., paid $2000 for {the coin to R. G. Parvin, who suc- | ceeded to the ownership of the Dextor | collection. Mr. Parvin did not willingly | part with the coin at that price, for he | has held it as the key piece of his nu- | mismatic collection. ; About a year ago the Republican | printed the stcery of the Parvin 1804 dollar, and it was copied extensively throughout the country. As a result Mr. Parvin has been receiving letters ever since concerning his collection of rare coins from all parts of the coun- try. A Chicago man tried to buy the dollar, offering up to $1500, and failed. 1 Against Two Young Men! Washington City's Suburbs‘ SENATOR HANNA RESTS EASILY Physician Announces That Tem- perature Has Not Changed, | but Pain Has Been Less { CRIS STILL TO COME ! - —_— While Pulse Is Higher Than on the Previous Day It Is Not Regarded as Significant ————— WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—The official announcement of Senator Hanna's con- dition to-night is regarded as favor- able. The bulletin written by Dr. Rixey after taking the Senator’s temperature and pulse at 8 o'clock follows: | “Senator Hanna has rested fairly well !slnce morning. Temperature, 102.4; pulse, 92.” It was stated that the Senator had suffered less pain to-day and had taken | one or two ounces more of milk and seemed a little stronger. No comment was made by the doctor on the’ higher pulse to-night than yes- | terday, there being an increase of ten | beats over the same time last night, “Suffered a long time with gas- ' night pressure was brought to bear | while the temperature is practically the | same as last night. The temperature is regarded as the more important indi- cation in the course of the fever, which | runs in cycles of seven days. The crisis | is marked by the highest temperature | a lower reading taken at precisely the | same .time on the following day indi- | cating that the crisis had passed. r. Rixey saw no special significance, how- ever, in the reading to-night. it being substantially the same as last night. | Weather conditions, he remarked, | might have something to do with it ' He regards the crisis as still in the | future. — e —— EXPLOSION ON IOW, TO BE INV TIGATED | Bureau of Ordnance Expresses Opin- | ion That Powder and Not 1 Guns is Faulty. | WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—Although no | details have been received regarding the explosion on the lowa, the state- ment was given out at the bureau of ordnance to-day as follows: | “The bureau is unable at this time to assign any cause for the accident, but is of opinion that it must be sought for in the powder, and not in the gun Samples of the powder will be sent to the proving guns for further test and examination, and a board of officers will be ordered to examine and report on the exact conditions of the ammu- nition supplied to the vessel, to deter- { mine if possible the cause which led to the accident.” —_—e————— ONE MAN HAD HIS CURIOSITY SATISFTED JResult of Confusion in the Busy { Time of Christmas Shop- ping. A Fulton street trolley car was inch- ing its way through the shopping dis- trict the other evening during the rush hour crowded with bundle laden pas- sengers. Near the door were two men | engaged in conversation over some de- tail of a business affair. In front of one of the big shops a crowd of women got aboard and the younger man, looking up, said: “Here's your wife, Jones,” and dered his seat to the newcomer. The woman said “Thank you™ in a grateful tone, arranged her bundles as compactly as possible and settied bacik ten- comfortably in the va. d piace. “Rather a late h for you té bhe down town, isn't it?” the man at right remarked. “Yes, it is late,” was the ready swer, “but it takes things in holiday times, Comments with regard to shopping, the weather, the crowded ca and si ilar subjects were exchanged and the the man asked in a tone that indicat his right to make the query: “Who's looking after the dinmer andl the house, I'd like to know, while you're until this hour?” indignantly exclaimed the wo- man, taking a good look at him for the first time. The man returned the look and then said in the meekest of voices | “I beg your pardon, madam. mistook you for my wife.” The man who had reinquished his seat had been hanging oa a strap in front of his friend and, bf course, ov heard the conversation. He looked at the woman, then at the man and said | softly: | “Jonmes, let's get out and get a drinik. Maybe it will improve your eyesight."t TIer Then a man in St. Louis tried to se- | cure it for a collection to be exhibited | at the World's Fair. During these ne- | gotiations Mr. Parvin thought that he ! | had discovered the limit of bidding, | and that no man would go over $1500 ' in trying to get the coin. So when he | was asked by Mr. Brown to put a price upon it he replied that he was not will- | ing to dispose of it, but had set his . price at $2000. Mr. Brown did not wait | for the slow progress of the United | States mail, but telegraphed to send on | the old dollar. Since then teXegramlf have been coming at the rate of one a day. Yesterday, while Mr. Parvin was reluctantly placing the dollar in a' candy box and labeling it, there came | another teiegram to hurry up the dol- | lar anyway, and to send it C. 0.3]. it there was no other way. So the lar | | started west. 1 The scarcity of dollars of the 1804/ | mintage is explained by an accident at ' sea.
