The Austrian was impressed. A story is told by Captain Taylor of the Indiana of an incredulous Austrian naval officer who arrived on the scene of the Santiago battle after the fun was all over in that Austrian warship that was at first believed to be another Spanish target for the American guns. When the dark lines of the approaching warship were seen hull down on the horizon Capt. Taylor was one of the first to make for her. The Indiana was black and grimy with powder stains, while the decks were running in dark water—the wash from the swabbing of guns. The ship was filled with powder smoke—pilot-house, conning tower, Captain's cabin and hold. There was every indication of a battle. Capt. Taylor himself stood in uniform trousers and his naval cap. Some of his fellow officers declare that the rest of his make-up on this occasion was a satisfied smile. At any rate, the Captain was at his post of duty on the bridge, while the engine-room force below was crowding on all steam. The gunners just through with the flower of Spain's fleet, were standing by their pieces, ready at a moment to begin on this unknown enemy. Visions of the Cadiz fleet were before the eyes of the blockaders, who had just turned one victory, and all smelt battle, and of battle, too. The Indiana made for the stranger with a rush. As the Austrian colors went up to the main on the ship of war there was a grunt of disappointment all around. The two ships presently came to a stand still not far distant from each other. A boat was seen to put out from the Austrian and was soon alongside the Indiana's gangplank with a lieutenant on board, sent to exchange greetings with the American commander and to ask the news of the struggle with Spain. The lieutenant was conducted to the Captain's cabin, amazement written on every line of his face. He looked first at the decks and then at the begrimed crew and the officers all wet with perspiration and delightfully dirty. The powder smoke in the cabin stilled him. His ship was too far away during the fight to hear anything but a distant rumble like the "heavy cannonading" so often heard off the Mole St. Nicholas. When Captain Taylor appeared the Austrian promptly asked what such a state of things indicated. "It indicates," answered the Captain, "that we have just engaged the enemy." "What! Cervera?" "The same." "What were your losses?" "None." But where is the Spanish fleet?" again queried the now thoroughly excited foreigner. "Come up on the poop with me and I will show you." The Austrian took his binoculars. Crippled at Play. IMPRUDENCE ON THE BALL FIELD ENDS IN MISERY. Exposure Causes the Downfall of Many Athletes The Story of a Man who was Stricken. From the Free Press, Detroit, Mich. "You talk about ball playing," said Charles W. Churchill of 66 Miami Ave., Detroit, thy well known travelling salesman, who sells computing scales throughout Michigan, "I will never forget the experience I bad while playing this game two years ago. "Like all young men I played ball, in fact during my college days I was quite a bull player. I had all the qualifications to be a professional player, but instead, secured a place as a traveling salesman. "Two years ago while spending a day in a small junction town in this State, some of us traveling men went in the suburbs to see a scrub ball game. "Well, to make the story short I got into the game in less than five minutes and was doing more talking and running than I had for years. "I became all warmed up and had my coat, vest and hat off. Every time I made a circuit of the bases I would lay down on the ground and try to cool off. "This was a dangerous thing to do in my heated state, and the next morning I could scarcely walk. The physician that was called, said I had rheumatism. I was taken home on a cot. "For nine weeks I stayed in my room and for seven of those weeks I was on my back in the bed. "The day I played that game I weighed 148 pounds, and when I commenced to be well enough to be out again, I only weighed 115 pounds." "I took nearly everything that has ever been prescribed for rheumatism, and he best of medical attendance but was no benefited much. I was told that I would probably be crippled for years. "I had about given up all hopes of being able to go on the road again, when read an article in my paper about a case rheumatism almost identical with my own that had been cured by Dr Williams' Pills Tas Pale People. "I decided to try the pills and bought them of them. They gave me some relief and I bought six more boxes. I soon gain strength and flesh every day and continue using the pills until I was entirely free from all pain. "That is why I recommend Dr William Pink Pills for Pale People to those sufferers from rheumatism." This is to certify that MY C.W. Church personally appeared before me and read a signed foregoing statement in my presence and acknowledged the same to be true every respect. ROBERT E. HULL, JR., Notary Public What better proof could a person want than the above facts? These pills stand unrival as a tonic for the blood. The secret of perfect health is pure blend and all the elements necessary to give life and richness to it and restore shattered nerves are contained in a condensed form Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People Druggists consider these pills to be the true on the market and they report large sales. It is claimed for Mr. Maguire by himself and his friends that he is a true patriot, a man who goes where duty calls, a friend of the people. For which office, then, should Mr. Maguire now be a candidate? Let us see. Mr. Maguire declares with much iteration that the crucial question before the people is the adjustment of the debts owing to the Government by the Central and Western Pacific railroads. If such be the case, where ought Mr. Maguire to be that he may best serve the people, in the Gubernatorial chair, or behind his desk in Congress? To ask the question is to answer it. As Governor he could render no service in the adjustment of those debts. As Member of Congress, in the light of his long experience, he might render very important service if that question were in issue, which it is not, having been disposed of finally by the last Congress. But suppose, just for the argument, that the single tax proposition were in issue, or were the real issue, where would Mr. Patriot Maguire's post of duty be? In Congress he could do nothing, in the Gubernatorial chair he might be able to do everything. Granting that Mr. Maguire is a patriot, that he is a candidate for that office to which he hears the voice of duty calling as for the cows to come home, which, think you, does he inwardly regard as the paramount issue, the railroad debt, or the single tax? Actions are known to speak louder than words, and in this instance Mr. Maguire's actions will drown his words wherever he goes over the State. The people will perceive that if the debts of the railroad be the true question, his place is in Washington, not Sacramento, but if the single tax be the true issue, then his place is in Sacramento, not Washington. Either he is reeercant to his duty, or he is obscuring the true intent and purpose of his campaign. There is no avoiding the alternative. GEORGE L. ARNOLD'S OFFICIAL RECORD A Few Facts About Assessment and State Equalization. HALF A MILLION DOLLAR Saved to the Taxpayers of the Fourth Equalization District Every Taxpayer Should Read the Facts and Figures as Herein Shown. The people of the State are deeply interested in securing a fair distribution of the burdens of State taxation. For this purpose the State Board Equalization was provided for by the State Constitution. The people of the Fourth District, comprising the twenty-three south counties of the State, are interested in ascertaining whether or not their residents on the State Board, Mr. Geo. L. Arnold, of Los Angeles, has been careful in protecting their interests by securing such an equalization of tax as would place upon this District only its fair proportion of taxation. The allowing table shows the work done by the Board in raising lowering assessments in this District during the years 1892, '93, and '94; under the work of a former Board; also during 1895, '96 and '97; under the work of present Board on which Mr. Arnold represented this District: Increases and Reductions Made by Lower Increases and Reductions Made by Arnold's Administration. 1892.

But no woman who fortifies herself with the strengthening power of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription need feel one instant's misgiving about either herself or the prospective little one. This matchless "Prescription" will give her exactly the kind of healthy vitality she needs and at the time she needs it most. It will give elastic endurance to the entire delicate organism involved in motherhood. It will make the coming of baby absolutely free from danger and nearly free from pain. It will insure the baby's start in life by imparting through its influence upon the mother, that sturdy infantile vigor which gladiates a mother's heart. It is the only medicine which can be implicitly relied upon for this purpose; and the only remedy expressly designed by an educated, experienced physician to give perfect health and strength to the delicate, special organism of women. Mr. Joseph Ramsey of Williams, Colleton Co., S.C., writes: "I have been using your medicines for some time and am happy to say that they have done all that you claim for them. I think they have no equal in the world. I would advise all women while in a delicate state to use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It shortens the time of birth and makes the labor easier. My wife is the mother of five children and she suffered almost death in the birth of them until this last one; the time of birth was short, and labor easy, from the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription." Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser used to sell for $1.50 now it is free. It tells all about the home-treatment of ordinary diseases. Several chapters are devoted to the diseases of women.

The following statement shows the taxes paid by the Southern system and the Southern California Railway Company (a portion of the Fe system), during the three years under the former Board, also unpresented Board, of which Mr. Arnold is the member from Fourth D.

A Beautiful Present In order to further introduce ELASTIC STARCH (Flat Iron Brand), the manufacturers, J. C. Hubinger Bros. Co., of Keokuk, Iowa, have decided to GIVE AWAY a beautiful present with each package of starch sold. These presents are in the form of Beautiful Pastel Pictures They are 13x19 inches in size and are entitled as follows: Lilacs and Pansies. Pansies and Marguerites. Wild American Poppies. Lilacs and Iris. These rare pictures, four in number, by the renowned pastel artist, R. LeRoy, of New York, have been chosen from the very choicest subjects in his studio and are now offered for the first time to the public. The pictures are accurately reproduced in all the colors used in the originals, and are pronounced by competent critics, works of art. Pastel pictures are the correct thing for the home, nothing surpassing them in beauty, richness of color and artistic merit. One of these pictures will be given away with each package of purchased your grocer. It is the best laundry starch on the market, and is sold for 10 cents a package. Ask your grocer for this starch and get a beautiful picture. ALL GROCERS KEEP ELASTIO STARCH. ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTE Percentage State tax paid by S. P. R.

This refutes emphatically a general belief so current among the people, that each year sees a reduction of railroad taxation and an increase of taxation paid by the people. But another statement bears on this same point. Increase of Wealth—Decrease in Assessment. The wealth of a country must increase with the increase of population. From 1890 to 1897 the population of the State increased 252,280. Of this increase 177,831, or a little over 70 per cent, was found in the That Espee Howl. The conglomeration party stands perfectly that the Republican position cannot be assailed or proper grounds. The platform vulnerable, the candidates arejectionable, and the only ground which they can contest, with any of success in this Republican yoke to key their voices to that old railroad howl that, without advancing to the public, has served to many demagogues into offices were unworthy to fill. California had a railroad question, and a one to solve, but not all the amalgamated politics of the past twenty years has made progress toward a solution of the problem, but on the contrary has aggravated the difficulty. The evolution of this problem is at hand not in the arena of politics. It is solved before our eyes, and by California men, not Magnure rogers and rollers but capitalists who are primarily building the competitive ley road. Just so far as that rover been built and put in operation, far has the "Espee" problem solved. Competition in rates and courtesies is giving the people a degree of satisfaction than they hope for from any political whatever. Therefore, the true road question before the people is: How can every Southern Pacific road in the state paralleled with a mile of the road? rather than who shall be governor. Mr. Henry T.Gage can challenge comparison any day with Magnure on his railroad record perhaps on the volume of land disgorged, but in results plished. Mr. Maguire, with all diant oratory, has not saved the ple he is suffering to serve a poor freights and fares, or retrieved for the public domain, while Gage, quietly and in the capita attorney for the people, was at last instrumental in returning a great grant to the public domain, making the Southern Pacific Coast pay damages when damage has inflicted. Their Affinity. There was much jeering on top of the conglomeration party because the reference made in the Reporter Percentage State tax paid by S. P. R. R. for three years under old Board, 1948 Percentage State tax paid by S. P. R. R. for three years Arnold's admin., 1956 It is worthy of note that under Arnold's administration the percentage of taxes paid into the Controller's office has increased steadily from 908 in 1895 to .1201 in 1897. This refutes emphatically a general belief so current among the people, that each year sees a reduction of railroad taxation and an increase of taxation paid by the people. But another statement bears on this same point. Increase of Wealth—Decrease in Assessment. The wealth of a country must increase with the increase of population. From 1890 to 1897 the population of the State increased 252,280. Of this increase 177,834 or a little over 70 per cent, was found in the Fourth Equalization District and 74,549, or a little less than 30 per cent, was found in the balance of the State. The report of the State Board of Equalization shows that in 1890 the assessed valuation of property in the Fourth District was equal to .33365 of the assessed value of the property in the entire State. The same reports show that in 1897 the assessed valuation of the property in the Fourth District was equal to .32969 of the assessed value of the property in the entire State. While the population and wealth of the Fourth District had increased between 1890 and 1897 to the extent of 41 per cent, as against an increase of 9 per cent in the remainder of the State. The assessed valuation of the Fourth District under the Arnold administration had actually decreased about one half of one per cent as compared with assessed valuation of the remainder of the State. Moneys and Solvent Credits. But there is another great accumulation of wealth that must not be lost sight of in the work of Equalizing the State Assessment, and it has received the attention of the present Board, and that is the Banking interests of the State. It is in the great banking institutions of San Francisco that large amounts of money and solvent credits formerly escaped the burden of taxation. The following figures show that this interest has been looked after by the present Board. Turning to the assessments of the larger banking interests we find: Assessment of Cash and Solvent Credits in San Francisco Under Old Board. 1892 $17,112,858 1893 16,950,134 1894 15,383,929 Total $49,446,921 Increase of assessment of moneys and solvent credits in San Francisco under Arnold's administration. Saved to the people (average State rate 59c). By this statement it is seen that during the past three years the bank of San Francisco have paid into the State Treasury the sum of $200,374,16 more than they did during the three preceding years, and the increase of their taxes which was just has relieved the people of the State to that extent and has benefited the taxpayers of the Fourth District to the extent of over $70,000. Railroad Assessments per Mile. The next question to consider is: Do the railroads of California pay as much taxes per mile as do the railroads of other states? The average mile of railroad in the United States is assessed at about $10,000 per mile. This is shown from reports from various States of the Union. Eight California lines representing 3778 miles of road, are assessed as follows: Southern Pacific ... MILES. Central Pacific ... $9,38 Southern California ... $747 Northern Railway ... $490 San Francisco & North Pacific ... $165 California Pacific ... $112 South Pacific Coast ... $96 Southern California (motor) ... $12 Other States. In 1894 nine of the highest assessed railroad including: Chicago & Alton, Chicago B. & A. Chicago & E. S. W. Chicago Minneapolis & St. Paul. Chicago & North-Western, Chicago Rock Island & Pacific, Chicago Santa Fe & California. Learn to say "No" when you offer you something "just as a place of Hood's Sarsaparilla can be no substitute for a greatest medicine. Hood's pause, sick headache, billious... Other States. In 1894 nine of the highest assessed railroad companies included: Chicago & Alton, Chicago B. & A. Chicago & E. S. W. Chicago, Minneapolis & St. Paul. Chicago & North-Western, Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, Chicago, Santa Fe & California, Cleveland, C. C. & St. L., Terre Haute & Indiana, with 3385 miles of road was assessed at an average rate of $10,044 per mile. During the same year nine of the leading railroads of Iowa, representing 6,579 miles of road were assessed at an average of $5,568 per mile. Following is a statement of average assessments in several of the Eastern States: STATES. NO. OF ROADS. NO. MILES. AV. ASSESSMENT. South Dakota 4 2337 $3,425 Montana 5 1873 4,217 Wyoming 4 873 5,700 Louisiana 6 1090 6,100 Utah 5 1230 6,190 Nebraska 7 2577 6,200 Kansas 6 2408 8,773 Virginia 5 1019 10,000 Missouri 12 2350 10,542 Mississippi 8 1165 10,750 Ohio 5 858 11,960 Tennessee 6 861 15,350 Texas 5 4006 16,100 Kentucky 6 963 15,583 These 110 companies, representing 33,514 miles of road in 16 States, have an average assessment per mile of $8,809. From a careful study of this question as herein briefly stated the people must conclude: First: That during the past three years, while the ratio of growth in population and wealth in the Fourth District has been very much greater than it has been in the other portions of the State, the ratio of our taxes has not been increased but has been actually diminished. Second: That the taxes paid by the railroad companies during the past three years have been materially increased as compared with the previous three years, because of the reduction of county assessments by the Board. Third: That by reductions secured in the assessment rolls of the counties of the Fourth District, large sums of money have been saved to our taxpayers during the past three years. Fourth: That the banking interests of San Francisco have been required to sustain a more just proportion of the burden of taxation under the management of the present Board than they did formerly. Fifth: That the railroad companies are required to pay a tax per mile fully equal to, if not in excess of, the average taxes paid by railroad companies in other states regardless of the fact that in most other states the railroads are located in more densely populated sections of country, which fact makes their property mass valuable. That Espee Howl. The conglomeration party underwards perfectly that the Republican cannon cannot be assailed on any super grounds. The platform is inheritable, the candidates are unobsionable, and the only ground upon which they can contest, with any hope of success in this Republican year, is key their voices to that old antiroad howl that, without advantage the public, has served to put so any demagogues into offices they are unworthy to fill. California has a railroad question, and a serious to solve, but not all the anti-railpolitics of the past twenty years made progress toward a solution the problem, but on the contrary, aggravated the difficulty. The soson of this problem is at hand, but in the arena of politics. It is being waved before our eyes, and by Califormen, not Maguire rooters and logers but capitalists who are enteringly building the competitive Valroad. Just so far as that road has been built and put in operation, just so has the "Espee" problem been waved. Competition in rates and interesties is giving the people a greater gree of satisfaction than they can go for from any political sources datever. Therefore, the true railroad question before the people of California is: How can every mile of Southern Pacific road in the State be railleled with a mile of the Valley and? rather than who shall be elected governor. Mr. Henry T. Gage can chalge comparison any day with Mr. Maguire on his railroad record; not mhaps on the volume of language gorged, but in results accomshed. Mr. Maguire, with all his rant oratory, has not saved the peohe is suffering to serve a penny in rights and fares, or retrieved an acre the public domain, while Mr. Gage, quietly and in the capacity of corney for the people, was at least instrumental in returning a great land ant to the public domain, and in making the Southern Pacific Company damages when damage had been afflicted.
