GOV. GAGE'S ADMINISTRATION Southern Part of the State Will Be a Unit in His Support Before the Next State Convention. A morning contemporary, a part of whose chosen occupation it is to misrepresent all public men who do not assist in promoting the political ambition of its proprietor, says that "from the Southern part of the State come reports which show that the opposition to Gage, and all that he and his administration stand for, is on the increase." This allegation makes it necessary to inquire exactly what Governor Gage's administration stands for. The people of the interior generally know all about the Governor and can answer the question for themselves; but possibly there may be a few persons in this city who will perceive in this statement a covert charge that Governor Gage's administration stands for something that is discreditable or questionable, and it is for their benefit that we make these inquiries. Governor Gage has now been in office three years, and it ought not to be difficult to ascertain his measure—even the newspaper which perpetrated the above insinuation ought to know it. Why should the southern portion of the State refuse to stand for the administration of Governor Gage? Is it because the State government has been absolutely free from scandal under his guidance? Is it because vicious legislation has been entirely suppressed by his veto? Is it because more money has been saved for the taxpayers during his three years than during any other three years in the history of the State? Is it because he has achieved the enviable distinction of extorting from the Legislature the lowest tax levy ever laid on the real and personal property of the commonwealth? If the southland is opposing Governor Gage for any of these reasons it would be a good idea for its politicians and newspapers to make themselves conspicuous for a while in order that we may identify them and argue with them. The Governor may not be personally popular with two morning newspapers in this city and one in Los Angeles, but the editors of these sheets will never be able to defeat him before the people on his record. To assert that they can do so is to assume that the taxpayers of California are idiots and its voting population crazy. Governor FOILED BY ROOSEVELT Chicago Orator Attempted to Deliver a Long Speech—Amusing Incident With Callers at the White House. Visitors to the White House have had further revelations during the week as to the methods and democracy of the President of the United States. The President met all with the same hearty handshake and cordiality, but demonstrated on one or two occasions that he could cut short an interview which threatened to be too long-drawn out, or which concerned a matter on which he had already reached a conclusion. The most striking illustration of this was his reception of a party of Chicago men. They came to Washington to urge reciprocity legislation and the creation of a department of commerce and manufactures. The President had already determined upon the portions of his message dealing with the questions, but the Chicago folks had not come so far with the intention of being side-tracked. They presented themselves at the White House, and it was arranged that they should see the President. Mr. Cortelyou, secretary to the President, told the callers that the President would be glad to see them, but had only a few minutes to spare from the duties of the day. The leader of the delegation had prepared a set and formal speech, which he was determined to deliver. As soon as the President entered the room he began in impressive tones: "Mr. President, coming from the greatest city of the northwest, which from her proud——" but the President interrupted him with, "Glad to see you, gentlemen," and started around the room shaking hands with his callers. The spokesman of the delegation began again: "Mr. President, coming from the greatest city of the northwest, which from her proud station at the head——" But the President advanced on the spokesman with his nervous, energetic last. The increase in deposits in drought season was $20,000,000; told the banks only owe $13,400 for rowed money. Their total capita $15,697,000, besides the proportion enormous surplus of $6,040,000. state of affairs is a death blow to lism and the free silver craze in sas.

On September 30th the cess of the United States had at their end sum of over two thousand nine hundred thirty-seven millions of dollars.

Chicago broke her record last with bank clearings of $169,000 $1,400,000 more than ever before one week. Improvements. J. H. Enearl has been engaged some weeks past in the erection number of cottages at the Oil where considerable improvement been the order of the day. En of the wells have raised $600 erection of a hall, where enments and social hops may be and Mr. Enearl will likely be en to build it. If the southland is opposing Governor Gage for any of these reasons it would be a good idea for its politicians and newspapers to make themselves conspicuous for a while in order that we may identify them and argue with them. The Governor may not be personally popular with two morning newspapers in this city and one in Los Angeles, but the editors of these sheets will never be able to defeat him before the people on his record. To assert that they can do so is to assume that the taxpayers of California are idiots and its voting population crazy. Governor Gage is an independent politician who has his own way without reference to the desires of newspapers or political bosses. He is, indeed, a type of statesman who always enjoys the friendship of first-class men. The late Stephen M. White said that of all the individuals he ever knew, Gage was the most independent, trustful and soundest. This was high praise from a man who himself belonged to a very superior class of statesmen. On the whole, we doubt whether the fact that three newspapers which failed to run the administration of Governor Gage can do him much damage anywhere, and especially not in the interior. If the people of California refuse to support Governor Gage after what he has done for them, they will deserve to get exactly what they will probably get—an administration which will become an adjunct to some newspaper or the willing instrument of some political boss.—San Francisco Post. FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM Sketch of the Industries and Resources of this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 104½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, or plants. The President did not seem to know that an attempt was being made to unload a half-hour speech on him, for he turned with a courteous gesture to Mr. Cortelyou and inquired: "Let's see these gentlemen wish to see about a department of commerce and manufactures?" This was a cue to the spokesman, and he started in again: "Mr. President, coming from the greatest city of the northwest, which from her proud station at the head——" But the President advanced on the spokesman with his nervous, energetic stride, and grasping him warmly, if not effusively, by the hands, said: "Ah, yes, I know what you want. You want to talk about a department of commerce and manufactures. New, I have given the subject much thought, and while, of course, it would be manifestly improper for me to tell you anything about what is in my message, I am sure you will be satisfied with my references to the subject in which you are interested." Before the spokesman had time to start in with his speech again, Mr. Roosevelt was shaking hands and blinding his callers adieu. Quite different was the reception received by a prominent New York politician who called upon the President to urge certain appointments. When the President indicated that he could not accept the recommendations, the politician made a veiled threat as to the influence which the organization he controlled might wield against the President when he sought further favors from his party. The President caught the import of the remarks immediately. With nervously twitching lips and clenched hands, the President sprang from his chair, saying: "If you have come here to threaten me, our interview is ended." The two stood facing each other for a moment, and the tense expression did not leave the face of the President. His caller withdrew. Says He Was Tortured. "I suffered such pain from corns I could hardly walk," writes H. Robinson, Hillsborough, Ill., "but Bucklen' Arnica Salve completely cured them." Acts like magic on sprains, bruises, cuts, sores, scalds, burns, boils, ulcers. Perfect healer of skin diseases and piles. Cure guaranteed by all drugists. Beet Contracts. Manager Schroder tells us that the American Beet Sugar Company already has applications for beet contracts covering 7,591 acres tributary to the Chino factory, and the applications are still coming in. Of this age already applied for 1,700 acres in Chino, including some 400 acres which the company will farm itself. Applications have been coming in recently at the rate of about 1,000 acres per week. The management now feels confident that at least 10,000 acres will be contracted for this factory, and this is a third more beets than was ever before raised for this factory. If climate conditions are favorable, it means also that the Chino factory will have greatest city of the northwest, which —" The President did not seem to know that an attempt was being made to unload a half-hour speech on him, for he turned with a courteous gesture to Mr. Cortelyou and inquired: "Let's see these gentlemen wish to see about a department of commerce and manufactures?"

Get the Most Out of Your Food You don't and can't if your stomach is weak. A weak stomach does not digest all that is ordinarily taken into it. It gets tired easily, and what it fails to digest is wasted. Among the signs of a weak stomach are uneasiness after eating, fits of nervous headache, and disagreeable belching. "I have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla at different times for stomach troubles, and a run down condition of the system, and have been greatly benefited by its use. I would not be without it in my family. I am troubled especially in summer with weak stomach and nausea and find Hood's Sarsaparilla invaluable." E. B. HICKMAN, W.Chester, Pa.

It Takes Youth and Strength and Courage to Hold an Engineer's Job on One of These Brain Whirling. Nerve Hacking Runs. "One of the greatest difficulties of the real mountain roads, like the Colorado Midland, the Rio Grande Western and the Denver and Rio Grande, is getting engineers," said the city passenger agent of the Rio Grande Western road. This gentleman is familiar with all the intermountain roads, where the trains have to all but fly to reach some of their destinations. "One might suppose that all roads would look alike to the experienced engineer, but they don't. Along some of the prairie roads an engineer can take a run on any new track almost as well as on one he has traveled for years and knows with his eyes shut. But here in the west it is different. Down in Colorado, where are some of the greatest monuments to the railroad builder that have ever been erected, an engineer has to travel over the roads sometimes for weeks with old, experienced engineers who know the track before he will be trusted with a train. It isn't a question of engineering ability; merely one of experience. "It is enough to take a fellow's nerve to sweep around some of those mountain curves and passes for the first time. Some good men never take more than their first ride. I have seen engineers come from the east, men of gilt edge character and ability, who lost their nerve with the first trip and took first train for a different country." Water Conference. S: Armor of Orange and A. E. Bennett of Tustin, directors of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company, were in town on Saturday, in conference with Wm. Crowther and A. S. Bradford of the Anaheim Union company, relative to litigation matters in which both companies are interested. The gentlemen compose, with Mr. Chapman, the joint litigation committee of the two valley water companies. However, Mr. Chapman was unable to be present. It was learned after the meeting, which was in executive session, that the action against Fuller, the River-side county water-grabber, would be pressed to immediate trial, and that the Newberry case, which is in the slow-going Federal court, would be hurried along as rapidly as possible. The Newberry case may be in court for years; but meantime, both companies will go ahead and make developments, taking all the water in the river to which they are entitled. Work on the Yorba reservoir will be taken up early in the new year and pushed to completion. More extensive work is in contemplation by both companies than ever before in their history. Rural Free Delivery. The President has signed an order bringing the rural free delivery service into the classified civil service. The order becomes effective immediately, so far as the 250 clerks, special agents and route inspectors of that service are concerned, but provides that until regulations are formulated for the appointment of rural carriers, such employees shall not be treated as within the classified service. The carriers number 6,900 and are steadily increasing. Vacancies other than those of carriers will be filled by appoint-ments from eligible registered commission. Rural carriers have to undergo scholastic tests. Appointments of them made from persons resident neighborhood wholly for fitness irrespective of political or economic conditions. Transfers will not be allowed sitions of rural free delivery unless any person in the classified section.

For coughs and colds Benson's Porous lasters are an incomparably better remedy than any other—external or internal. Their medicinal properties enter the skin and go straight to the seat of the disease. A rado, where are some of the greatest monuments to the railroad builder that have ever been erected, an engineer has to travel over the roads sometimes for weeks with old, experienced engineers who know the track before he will be trusted with a train. It isn't a question of engineering ability; merely one of experience. "It is enough to take a fellow's nerve to sweep around some of those mountain curves and passes for the first time. Some good men never take more than their first ride. I have seen engineers come from the east, men of glit edge character and ability, who lost their nerve with the first trip and took the first train for a flatter country. Dissey reverse curves, trestles that seem to totter in the wind, preplices that seem to yawn for a fellow's life and grades that are a revelation of horror to the newcomer crowd in wildering confusion on the view, and unless a fellow is as stolid as an ox or nervy as the mischief he is apt to lose his head. "You would be surprised at the number of young engineers who are on the mountain roads. For one thing, a man does not last there as he does on a less picturesque, more proscale run. It takes youth and strength and courage of a rare order to stand it all. The companies are the most appreciative in the world, for they realize how hard it is to get a good man, and they treat a good man right royally. But even this does not attract a surplus of the right sort. "The principal dangers are in the heavy grades and in the sharp curves, though landslides are far from unknown. One must know his train and his road like a book to get through with his life on the Marshall pass, for instance, where you seem to plunge headlong down the mighty hill. A rock on the track, a broken wheel, a runaway car or a failure of the brakes to work would end in a smash up that would startle the whole country. The hill might be a glare of ice or frost, it might be wet or snowy, and if you set the airbrake too hard so as to start the wheels to sliding down the hill you go like a gigantic toboggan, with death and destruction at the end of the ride. The management of the airbrake and knowing where the curves and dangerous places are is the greatest part of an engineer’s education in the mountains. "For my own part, knowing the dangers as I do, I feel nervous after riding 100 miles over the wildest parts of the roads even as a passenger. I rode through the Royal gorge on the engine a few weeks ago and was glad when the ride was over. It makes a fellow feel tremble like to think what might be, though the worst rarely happens. Such is the care taken in equipment and in getting the best men that the mountain roads have as small a proportion of losses as the dead level roads of the plains. But it takes a man of nerve to pilot a train through some of the wilder regions. "A freight train is the worst, in that it is much heavier than a passenger and is expected to make almost the same time. All the heavy stock trains going east, 25 to 30 cars, make passenger schedule. A freight is so loosely coupled as to be very unmanageable at critical points. The stock trains are the terror of the engine drivers and all the trainmen. "A fellow isn’t necessarily a coward when he throws up his job as engineer of carriers will be nilled by appointing women if any shrink from the passing pain of maternity. All they ask is to feel the child’s heart beating against their own as they hold it in strong arms to the full fount from which it feeds. How rarely the mother’s strength keeps pace with her love every woman knows. Often the baby is laid against a breast that cannot nourish it, and folded in arms almost too weak to bear the tiny burden. The woman who is strong and whose abundant vitality enables her to nurse her child and enjoy its care is looked upon as a marvel. She is conceived an exception, peculiarly and specially endowed by nature. But the real marvel is not the strong woman but the weak one. She is the exception. The strong healthy woman is nature’s type. She shows what every woman ought to be and what almost every woman may be by the use of proper means. THE OTHER TWO WOMEN. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well. The record shows that of the hundreds of thousands of women who have used "Favorite Prescription" ninety-eight per cent, have been absolutely altogether cured. The other two women in each hundred for whom no complete cure was possible, have in general acknowledged a great improvement in their condition; headaches less frequent and less painful, backache greatly diminished; able to resume again the care of the household and take pleasure in social life. That is the general story of the two per cent. of women who had found no help in any other medicine but have by the use of "Favorite Prescription" found relief and comfort. But think of the great army, the ninety-eight per cent, numbering hundreds of thousands of women who have been cured perfectly and permanently. No more headache, no more backache, no more monthly misery. Pain is a thing of the past. These are the women who are fit for maternity, who will have strength to give the child they bear.

"I wish to advise the suffering women of this great land, of the good I have received from Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and 'Golden Medical Discovery,'" writes Mrs. Mary Shapell, of Columbus Grove, Putnam Co., Ohio. "For four years I had been a sufferer from female troubles, and at times was unable to do even the housework for three in the family. I had such pains that I suffered almost death dozens of times, but after taking five bottles of your medicines I can truthfully say that my health was greatly improved. I have a good appetite and am gaining in flesh right along. This spring is the first time in five years that I have done my house cleaning all by myself and without the least fatigue whatever. I hope all suffering women may find relief as I have done. "My gain in weight has been just ten pounds, and I am still gaining." Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter free. All correspondence confidentially conducted and womanly confidences guarded by strict professional privacy. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. The offer of free consultation by letter made by Dr. Pierce is not to be classed with the misleading offers of free medical advice, made by those who have neither medical education nor experience. Anyone may offer "medical advice," but the medical advice of an unqualified person, either man or woman, is not only worthless but may be dangerous. As chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y., with an associate staff of nearly a score of physicians, Dr. Pierce is enabled to offer to those who consult him by letter free, a medical experience and success which has no superior. There is no alcohol in "Favorite Prescription" and it is entirely free from opium, cocaine and every other narcotic. This perfect freedom from all injurious ingredients makes "Favorite Prescription" the ideal tonic for nursing mothers and all weak "run down" women. If a dealer tries to sell a substitute in place of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription it is because less meritorious medicines pay a little more profit to the dealer. If you want to be well you want to insist on the medicine which has cured other women, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. WHAT IT IS WORTH. Annie Barnett, of Hitson, Fisher Co., Texas says: "Will say I like my Med." To the Traveling Public. Twenty-five-ride family commutation tickets between Los Angeles and Anaheim, limit 60 days, good for purchasers or any member of their family, over the Southern Pacific route. These tickets are sold at the extremely low rate of six dollars and sixty-five cents ($6.65) for the round trip. It is well to remember the fact that it is economy to purchase tickets via the S.P. route, inasmuch as it is the only line that takes passengers into the business part of Los Angeles. There are five stations in the city, and our tickets are good to any of them. Commercial street station is just two blocks from the wholesalers, and 10 cents street car fare is saved on the round trip. Twenty-five trips means $1.25 to the passenger, which pays for a sack of flour. The S.P. Co. also offers an individual monthly ticket, good for 30 round trips during each calendar month, for $8, good only to purchaser. Economy is the order of the day, and don't forget there is a saving of 10 cents car fare on each round trip by our line.
