SAN FRANCISCO SUNK
BELOW OTHER CITIES.
Christian America Respon
sible, Says Minister.
PHILADELPHIA, PA., October 23.
—(Special)—That San Francisco, po
litically and morally, has sunk to a
depth lower than any other city in
the country and that Christian Am
erica is responsible for her condi
tion, was the startling statement
made by Rev. Dr. John B. Thomas
of San Francisco, to the synod of
Pennsylvania of the Presbyterian
church, when he made an appeal for
funds for the churches of that city.
The history of this great western
metropolis has been written in prose
and poetry until' it has come to be
regarded as perhaps the most romantic
city in America. Those who have
seen or read of its rise to importance
and influence in the last half-century
will always carry an affection for
the old San Francisco for which the
new city that is and is to be can
scarcely provide a substitute.
Old Story of Graft
“Graft” is not a new condition in
San Francisco’s local government.
The colossal schemes for enriching
individuals at the city’s expense, ex
posures of which have startled the
world in recent months, are but the
outgrowth—the fruition—of corrupt
government that started years be
fore the earthquake and the fire.
Here then appears the real graft of
the powers that be: To ignore the
evils that are admittedly the origin
and tap-root of the graft conditions
in San Francisco, attacking only the
later fruits of these levils, hoping
thereby to secure the “graft” of
sufficient votes from among the vic
ious and depraved to carry the elec
tion for “good government.” To
sell the city’s birthright to clean mor
al conditions for its 'citzens. its wo
men and children, for a mess of pot
tage in the form of the offices and
hopes of commercial advancement.
Like Sclimitz and Rues
Were it not that this attitude is
merely a repetition o fthe beginnings
of graft of the preceding administra
tion, this policy would be a worse
form of graft than that of Schmitz
and Reuf. It is worse in that the
present officials have had the terrible
lesson of Schmitz and Reuf imme
diately before them and ought to
have learned better.
“The Blood is The Life.*
Science has never gone beyond th«
above simple statement of scripture. But
it has illuminated that statement and
given it a meaning ever broadening with
the increasing breadth of knowledge.
When the blood is "bad" or impure it
is not alone the body which suffers
through disease. The brain is also
clouded, Sim mind and judgement are
Effected, an evil deed or impure

impui*&y of the Foul, impure blood

cnrieiies and rniriiies the blood thereby
curing, pimples, blotches, eruptions and
other cutaneous affections, as eczema,

manifestations of*impure blood.
® ® ® ® ® ®
In the cure of scrofulous swellings, en
larged glands, open eating ulcers, or old
sores, the "Golden Medical Discovery ’’has
performed the most marvelous cures. In
cases of old sores, or open eating ulcers,
it is well to apply to the open sores Dr.
Pierce’s All-Healing Salve, which pos
sesses wonderful healing potency when
used as an application to the sores in con
junction with the use of "Golden Medical
Discovery” as a blood cleansing consti
tute "al treatment. If your druggist
don’t happen to have the "All-Healing
Salve'' iii: lock, you can easilv procure it
by inclosing fifty-four cents in postage
stamps to Dr. R. V. Pierce, 663 Main St.,
Buffalo, Is. Y., and it will come to you by

well as tie "Golden Medical Discovery.”

EUBULOUS PRICE FOR
SHARE R. R. STOCK.
Would Decide Control of
W. of Ala.
MONTGOMERY, ALA., October 23.
(Special)—An innocent inquiry
made by J. B. Powell, of the State
Tax Commission, some time ago has
brought about consternation in the
general offices of two of the most
prominent railroads doing business
in Alabama, the Central of Georgia
and the Louisville and Nashville. It
brought to light the fact that there
may be, and most probably are,
several shares of stock of the old
Montgomery and West Point Railway
outstanding. Such stock, as was
conclusively shown, is worth a fabu
lous price to either one of the two
owners of this property.
Joint Owners
Although the Western of Alabama
is under control of a separate corps
of officials, and is operated indepen
dently of either the Central of Geor
gia or the Louisville and Nashville
Railway, it is a generally accepted
rumor that these roads own the Wes
tern jointly, each holding exactly
15,000 of the 30,000 shares of stock
outstanding. Recent events give cre
dence to this rumor, and establish it
almost beyond question as a fact.
When the officers of the road heard
of the inquiry, they immediately came
to the conclusion that there were
some of the old unaccounted-for
shares of the old Montgomery and
West Point Railway outsanding, which
had been brought to light.
Would Ge Great Prize
The possession of an odd share by
either of the two joint owners would
manifestly be a great prize as it
would give the controlling interest,
no matter how small.
Mr. Powell received nearly a hun
dred telegrams, many of them mak
ing offers, some of them fabulous.
One offer is said to have been for
§200,000. The story had the effect
of calling to the mind of many that
at the time of the reorganization of
the Western of Alabama, that there
were several shares of stock unac
counted for.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and (hat is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars free. F. J. CHENEY & CO.,

CAN EXPRESS CO’S
DEAL COMMODITIES
WASHINGTON, D. C., October 23.
(Special)—Two important hearings
will be held in the West by the in
terstate commerce commission next
week, dealing with the alleged , pur
chase and sale of commodities by ex
press companies. The hearings will
be held at Omaha on Monday and at
Kansas City on Thursday, before a
special examiner, George N. Brown.
The question involved is the right of
express companies to deal in commo
dities which they carry.

THORNE’S INTEREST
IN CENTRAL SOLD
But Purchaser Is Not Yet
Known.
From New' York comes the report
that Oakleigh Thorne has disposed
of his holdings in the Central of Geor
gia. The name of the purchaser is
withheld. The Trust Company of
America, of which Thorne is the head
has sold its Central of Georgia stock.
When the agitation over the con
trol of the Central by Southern Rail
way interests was going on last
spring the announcement was made
that the Central of Georgia had been
sold to Oakleigh Thorne and Marsden
J. Perry. The public was “from
Missouri” on the genuineness of the
deal, but were often assured that
things were what they seemed. It
was finally accepted that the two
men owned the road.
Nothing is said in the reports as
to the action taken by Mr. Perry and
it is supposed that he still stands in
the same attitude as before the sale
of Mr. Thorne's interest. Just what
proportion each one held of the stock
was not made public, though the in,
ference was that it was a “ ‘alf and
’alf” affair.
When the directors in August fail
ed to declare the ful dividend on its
second income bonds and none at all
on the third, the holders of these two
classes of securities entered vigor
ous protest and prepared the case for
the courts. They insisted that a pro
per system of bookkeeping would
show sufficient net earnings to justify
the dividend in full on all classes
of bonds.
Whether the agitation made Mr.
Thorne dissatisfied with his bargain,
or whether he was acting in the in
terest of others is not known.
It is rumored that Rock Inland
has taken over Mr. Thorne’s interest.
It is also said that Harriman has
bought the road to aid the Illinois
Central in getting business.
The Central of Georgia is capital
ized at $5,1)00,000 and has 1,877 miles
of truck in three states. Maj. J. F.
Hanson of Macon, Is president.
Henry E. Jones of Tampa, Fla.,
writes: “I can thank God for my
present health, due to Foley’s Kideny
Cure. I tried doctors and all kinds
of kidney cures, but nothing done me
much good till I took Foley’s Kid
ney Cure. Four bottles cured me,
and I have no more pain in my back
and shoulders. I am 62 years old,
and suffered long, hut thanks to
Foley’s Kidney Cure, I am well and
can walk and enjoy life myself. It is a
pleasure to recommend it to those
needing a kidney medicine.” Sold by

METROPOLIS TOO
MUCH FOR NEGRO
Ducked Into Subway With
Jewel Case.
NEW YORK, October 23.—(Spec
ial) —Bewildered by the crowds in
lower Broadway, James Walker, a
negro, carrying sample cases with
SIO,OOO worth of jewels in them, duck
ed into a subway station at the inter
section of John street, and cqwered
there trying to think his way out of
his delemma Tuesday.
“Thank the good Lawd!” he ex
claimed when police from the Church
Street Police Station discovered him
and took him to his employer, who
had spent three miserable hours.
John A. Lassell, a jewelry sales
man of New r ark, N. J., hired Walker
to carry the cases of jewelry when
he came to the city today. The ne
gro had never been here before and
trudged alongside of Mr. Lassell with
wonderment on his features. He
was gazing at the towering Singer
Building when he was caught in the
crowd and whirled about like a leaf
in a river's current. When he re
covered himself his employer was
nowhere to be seen.
In despair, but clutching the jew
elry the negro finally saw
the subway entrance and blindly
sought refuge there. When the po
lice found him they took him to the
offices of the Pinkerton Agency, where
Mr. Lassell, who had sent out a gen
eral alarm, was awaiting him.
