Still we cannot blame the woman, for it is assing to detail some of the | r suffering, even to her ian. this reason that years ago | Mre. Pinkbam, st Lynn, Mass., de- termined to step in and help her sex. Having had considerable experience in treating female illswith her Vegetable Compound, she encouraged the women 4 of America to write to her for adviee in | regurd to their complaints, and beinga | woman, it was easy for her ailing sis- | ters to pour into her ears every detsil | of their suffering. | In this way she was able to do for | them what the physicians were unaple to do, simply because she had the proper information to work upon, and from the little group of women who | sought her advice years ago a great army of her féellow-beings are to-day constantly applying fer advice and re- lief, and the fact that many thou- sands of them have been cured by following the advice of Mrs. Pinkbham during the last year is indicative of the grand results which are produced by her unequaled experience and training. No physician in the world has had such a training, or has such an amount of information at hand to assist in the treatment of all kinds of female ills, from the simplest local irritation to the most complicated womb diseases, This, therefore, is the reason why Mrs. Pinkham, in her laboratory at , Mass., is able to do more for the tni:if women of America than the {sphyliunn. Any woman, there- fore, is responsible for her own suffer- ing who will not take the trouble to write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice.

OBJECTS TO SUBPENA. “They have not been subpenaed ac- cording to law,” said Collins, and he cited some authorities in support of his contention. “You should have your authorities here,” said Byington. And he intimated that Collins had ‘purposely kept the two women from coming into court.

YOUNTVILLE, June 26.—J. P. Mar- san, a member of the Veterans’ Home at this place, who was found in a dying condition on the road leading into the home yesterday, died last night. Mar- san had been absent from the home for some hours, and it is presumed he had been visiting saloons in Yountville. The coroner’s jury to-day returned a verdict of “died from alcoholic poisoning and exposure.” Marsan was born in Illi- nois sixty-eight years ago. He had been @ member of the home for four years. T B I T Victea tenced to their absence inquired into. to the subpena on the ground that it ordered Mrs. McCurdy and her daugh- ter to appear at 9 o'clock, whereas the s set for 10 o'clock, Judge Len- non sustained this point, but, taking the view that Mrs, McCurdy and her daughter were in no way superior to their fellow beings, he ordered a new subpena issued and commanded that the two women be brought into court as soon as possible. Collins said he thought he could produce them in half an hour. While Judge Lawlor was in the midst of the Minnie Adams murder case the Collins procession began to arrive. { Learning that the McCurdys were ready | to come in, Mrs. Charlotta Collins and her ehildren and two other women, all of whom had been in the District At- | torney’s office, filed into the rear of the | courtreom and immured themselves in | the grand jury room. Immediately be- | hind them came _ollins and two blonde | women, each wearing a heavy brown veil, not so heavy, however, that their features were not clearly discernible. They did not approach the dais, but made for a hench at the side of the room that wes fuled with spectators of the Minnie Adams trial. Enough of these to make room got up and the two women sat down with the others., Mrs. Adams gazed with great curiosity. NAMED AS “MISS McCURDY.,” “Are the other witnesses in the Col- lins case here?" asked Judge Lennon. “They are,” replied Collins. “Who are they?' asked the court. “My wife,” said Collins, “and Mrs, McCurdy.” “I ask that they be called before the court,” demanded Assistant District At- torney Ferral. “In the subpena there appear the SPAN -OF THE REDDING FREE BRIDGE DESTROYED BY FIRE Blaze 4 a Sixty Thousand Dol- lar Structure.

The court then ordered that all witnesses appear at 10 o'clock this morning, at which time the case was set.

Collins, whom she clafms is her legal husband, to provide for her immediate support pending the outcome of the suit she has filed against him for maintenance. In an affidavit filed yesterday Mrs. Collins says that she has been served with no- tice to vacate her home on: Pierce street within three days and th: unless the rent of the premises is paid she will be forced to go she knows not where. She also says that her little daughter May is in great need of clothing, and that although Collins has been ap- pealed to to supply funds for this pur- pose he has absolutely refused to do so. \ TR R T B B BRI s R TROLLEY WIRE IS STRETCHRD FOR NEW ELECTRIC ROAD JUNE 27, 1905, TRAINS DISTELLA Express, Bound North, Col- lides With Speeial Freight ENGINEER BADLY HURT Failure to Obey Orders Is Believed to Be the Cause of the Disastrous Wreck Snecial Dispatch to The Call.

The two men, they say, were in- sane and abseiutely naked. Their ,tongues were so black and swollen that | they completely filled their mouths. Their limbs were also swollen. delirious from thirst while, prospecting in Death Valley. Their misfortune is but a repetition of the disaster that has over- taken several in that region during the last week. The springs are drying up and the usual supply of water is lacking.

This season of the year is unfit for prospecting.
