THE MAN AND GOVERNOR There are a few people—those who do not follow closely the trend of political events, and who have not the full information necessary to correct analysis of political conditions—there are a few such people who are honestly and sincerely opposed to the renomination of Governor Gage. They have been misled and misinformed by the clap-trap and mendacity of the Governor's political enemies. They do not bear or heed, politically speaking, until some great hue and cry is raised. Then they begin to ask why this, why that, and why the other. They are child-like and bland. They still believe in old adages—that, for instance, which declares that "where there is so much smoke there must be some fire." They do not seem to realize that, just as the science of chemistry can produce a great deal of smoke without any fire whatever, so the black art of political chicanery can sometimes make an honest and able man appear the veriest incompetent and the greatest rascal. One of these credulous individuals asked, the other day, "Is it true that no governor of this state has ever been given a second term?" He was told that that was true. "Why, then," he asked, "should Governor Gage ask for a second term?" Why shouldn't he? Well, the credulous individual didn't know why he shouldn't. One reason is, probably, that he desires to vindicate his character and administration, which have been foully attacked by those who have futility sought to control his official acts in the interest of personal ambitions and selfish aims and ends. Another reason may be that he desires opportunity to round out and complete, in the light of experience, an executive policy impossible fully to develop during a single term. And, moreover, the very fact that no other governor has ever been given a second term is sufficient to fire any virile man with the laudable ambition to break the record and secure for himself a recognition in keeping with his ability and integrity and his devotion to his officia duties and responsibilities. Another political innocent asks if it isn't undignified for the governor of a great state to leave his office to personally manage his campaign for re-election. Dear heart! What man will marrow in his bones will stand on his dignity when his honor and his family's FRITZ GETS ANOTHER STOPPER Superior Judge Cook Issues a Restraining Order Against His Proceeding With the Dummy Case. Governor Gage's libel suit instituted against John D. Spreckels and W. S. Leake, proprietor and manager of the San Francisco Call, was before two judges in that city on Saturday. While Superior Judge Carroll Cook was issuing a restraining order upon the petition and affidavit of J. C. Rives, district attorney of Los Angeles county, halting the proceedings now pending on the calendar in Judge Fritz's department of the police court. The latter passed upon the motion made some days ago by Attorney A. A. Moore in behalf of Governor Gage demanding that the attitude in the case of Louis P. Boardman be investigated. Judge Fritz held that if there was a collusion between Boardman, the nominal plaintiff, and J. D. Spreckels the fact would develop during the trial of the libel case. The court therefore overruled the motion made by Moore, but also removed Boardman from the prosecution, forbidding him to take an active part in it and instructing the district attorney to perform his duty in prosecuting the case. Judge Fritz was then served with an injunction from the superior court for bidding his taking further action. The trial had been set for Monday next, but the police court is now stopped. The petition upon which the injunction is based is similar to that which was before Judge Sloss, with the exception that in the former proceeding Governor Gage was named as the beneficiary, and in this instance the commonwealth is substituted. There was the usual array of legal talent in court, but no material arguments were made. Attorneys Peter F. Dunne and J. J. Lerman argued the matter before Judge Cook, whose injunction is made returnable next Friday morning at 10 o'clock. A Cure for Choera Infantum "Last May," says Mrs. Curtis Baker of Bookwalter, Ohio, "an infant child of our neighbor's was suffering from cholera infantum. The doctor had given up all hopes of recovery. I took a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea. Remedy to the house, telling them I felt sure it would do good if used according to directions. In two days' time the child had fully recovered, and is now (nearly a year since) a vigorous, healthy girl. I have long been mistaken for St. Mark's in Venice, the Campanile, fell over the other day, and is now a mass of ruins. It was one of the most remarkable and lofty structures, and stood among such constructions as one of the finest examples known to architecture. But it stood upon a foundation of piling. As long as properly prepared piling is covered by water it will last practically forever. But if the pilling is at times exposed to air it decays. The weight in that case presses most upon the weakened part, pushing out the piling on that side and throwing the structure out of plumb. That is what probably happened to the Campanile. At any rate, twelve years ago a Venetian architect, Signor Vendrasco, warned the government that the great and beautiful tower would fall over. Thereupon a commission was appointed to examine, and it reported the tower safe, and Vendrasco was officially reproved. In 1892 Vendrasco again wired the government that the tower was in danger. A second commission was appointed, examined the building and pronounced it safe, and Vendrasco was again rebuked officially, removed from the office he held and cashiered as an architect. Lately workmen cut a hole in one of the walls to put in a fireplace for use of the custodian. Vendrasco protested, but in vain. At 5 o'clock on the morning of the disaster the old architect announced: "The Campanile will fall in a few hours," and in a few hours down came one of the most famous piles in Europe. But Vendrasco, heart-broken, bad left the city. None knew whither he had gone, but the government has sent for him to return, and proposes to acknowledge that he was right and to remove the disbarment fulminated against him. He knew that the piling foundation was pushing out, and fore-saw what must happen when it gave way on one side. The walls were structurally sound. There was no defect in the masseur, and the great tower would have stood for ages more had its foundation been perfect. The question now is, will it be rebuilt? Italian architects say the cost will be too great—$1,200,000 is a low estimate. Some say it cannot be reconstructed under existing environment, but famous French architects say it can be rebuilt, and the Italian develop during a single term. And, moreover, the very fact that no other governor has ever been given a second term is sufficient to fire any virile man with the laudable ambition to break the record and secure for himself a recognition in keeping with his ability and integrity and his devotion to his official duties and responsibilities. Another political innocent asks if it isn't undignified for the governor of a great state to leave his office to personally manage his campaign for re-election. Dear heart! What man will marrow in his bones will stand on his dignity when his honor and his family's good name are assailed by political iconoclasts! Governor Gage would be less than a man if he did not fight with all the fury of an outraged soul against the malignant mendacity of the pot house politicians who are hell-bounding him in this campaign. And still another political purist wants to know if it isn't a fact that Governor Gage tried to force the election of Dan Burns to the United States senate. No, it is not a fact. Long before he was thought of as a candidate for governor, Henry T. Gage went or record as favoring the election of both governor and senator from the south. He strenuously insisted that it could be done. And so far as can be ascertained neither Gage the man nor Gage the governor ever did or said anything in the least inconsistent with the position he had taken in this matter. Col. Burns is on record as having stated that he asked Gage not to use his influence in any way in his (Burn's) behalf. And in all the controversy, discussion and agitation of this question never a senator or assemblyman have found who would say that Governor Gage ever tried in any way to influence his vote for senator. The entire course of Henry T. Gage both as governor and in this campaign is the florecence of a noble, a loyal and a courageous soul, qualities which have caught the man to the hearts of his friends with hooks of steel and made him a terror to his enemies.—Pasadena Star. Mike De Young Insane? SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 2nd.—Upon the most reliable authority it is reported that M. H. DeYoung, proprietor of the San Francisco Chronicle, who is now in Paris, is the victim of a mental malady which threatens to lead to his utter incapacity. He is said to be undergoing treatment from the most celebrated mental specialists in Europe and is under the care of two nurses. These reports, as might be expected, meet with denials, but the truth of the story was admitted by one of Mr. DeYoung's most intimate friends. It is doubtful whether he will ever again be able to attend actively to business. Mr. DeYoung has led a strenuous life. He devoted himself for years to making money, and finally became ambitious for political distinction. There is no doubt that his unsuccessful attempt to become United States senator greatly embittered him and affected his health. It was a severe blow to his vanity, and his paper has been used ever since as a bludgeon with which to develop during a single term.

The question now is, will it be rebuilt? Italian architects say the cost will be too great–$1,200,000 is a low estimate. Some say it cannot be reconstructed under existing environment, out famous French architects say it can be rebuilt, and the Italian government is about resolved to undertake it. The Russian Czar has sent an offer of subscription, to a rebuilding fund; Emperor William of Germany has tendered offers of aid; King Victor Emanuel has subscribed $200,000, and offers of contributions have come from English and American people. But the Italianans are disposed to reject all foreign aid and make reconstruction purely national affair. Among architects there is wide division of sentiment about rebuilding, a large body of them advising against it on the ground that a reconstructed tower will never be recognized as a work of classic times. It will be at best an imitation. They think the ruins more impressive than any reconstruction possible. But the burden of sentiment just now is in favor of rebuilding the tower and making it just what it was in the first place, using just as far as practicable, the old material, and that can be done to a considerable extent. It was from the Campanile, erected in 888, that Galileo made many of its observations. It was a quadrangular structure of brick, stood 323 feet in height on a base at the street surface of 42 feet square. Its destruction removes the most striking architectural sight of Venice and the loftiest example of architectural art in that famous city.-Record-Union.

Utter, a prominent physician of Panama, Colombia, in a recent letter states: "Last March I had as a patient a young lady of sixteen years of age who had a very bad attack of dysentery. Everything I prescribed for her proved ineffectual and she was growing worse every hour. Her parents were sure she would die. She had become so weak that she could not turn over in bed. What to do at this critical moment was a study for me, but I thought of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and as a last resort prescribed it. The most wonderful result was effected.

The City of Anaheim, with a pop- ulation 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 148¼ 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 suf- cient 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, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land about figures, and on easy terms made our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for cattle ranching or farming on sugar scale. The following are a new of one product: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroad, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant. FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO.

Mr. Hiram Henpekt of Frog Hollow had finished his business in the city and was slowly drifting along with the tide of humanity toward the Pennsylvania railroad ferry when his attention was suddenly attracted by a sign on a building he was passing. This is what he read: "Woman's Ex- change." A smile of anticipation lighted up his countenance as he turned aside and entered the building. A middle aged, sharp featured lady in eyeglasses came forward and bowed to him as he stepped up to the counter, and after slowly looking her over he said: "Excuse me, madam, but air you ther only one they've got on hand at present?" "The only one on hand? What do you mean?" was the puzzled reply. "The only woman, of course. I hain't got Hanner along with me today, but I noticed that this was a woman's ex- change, an I thought I'd drop in an look over what you had on hand an if I liked the looks of any of 'em I'd bring the old woman in the next time I come to the city an make a trade." Gently but firmly the lady in charge explained his mistake to him, and Mr Hiram Henpekt of Frog Hollow resumed his homeward journey, a crestfallen and bitterly disappointed man.—Will S.

Cicero was dioted for larceny, and while the jury was out Cicero ran away. The jury failed to agree—standing 11 white men for conviction and a negro preacher for acquittal. Cicero went down to Norfolk where he lived happily ever afterward." FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO. The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties. No. farms. Acres. Los Angeles. 6577. 805,063 Orange. 2888. 596,436 Riverside. 2340. 427,097 San Bernardino. 2350. 219,132 San Diego. 2688. 809,419 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Counties. Acres. Los Angeles. 85,644 Orange. 41,549 Riverside. 32,947 San Bernardino. 37,877 San Diego. 16,022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 708; that of San Bernardino, 20,055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square smiles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belaunded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former’s irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. The Triumph of Danny. Several years before the discovery of oil at Pitbole an Irishman named McCarthy and his son Dan came to this country from the Emerald Isle. Dan was a young man of 20, but his father looked upon him as a mere boy and seemed to take delight in ridiculing him before people. “Yis, Dan is a good b'y,” he would say sarcastically, “but, Danny, me b'y, you’ll never set the river on fire.” This was his stock witticism, and it amoyed Dan very much, but he did his best and soon surprised the old gentleman by securing a lucrative job. “Yis, Danny has a job all right,” he begs to say Dr. G.B.

The consumptive dies without lungs to breathe the air, or of lungs rendered incapable of breathing by disease. The blood as it flows in and out of the lungs indicates the consumptive’s progress. As the lungs grow weaker less oxygen is inhaled and the blood changes from scarlet to purple. Oxygen is the life of the blood as the blood is the life of the body. The effect of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery upon weak lungs is to strengthen them, to enable the full oxygenation of the blood, arrest the progress of disease, and heal the inflamed tissues. Lung diseases have been and are being cured by “Golden Medical Discovery,” in cases where deep-seated cough, frequent hemorrhage, emaciation, weakness, and night-sweats have all pointed to a fatal termination by consumption. Some years ago I left almost a help victim of that dread disease—consumption writes Mr. Chas Fross, P.M., of Siksa White Coord. I my friends and neighbors had given up all hope our recovery until one day a friend advised me to take Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, and after I had taken the contents of the second bottle I began to improve. After taking six bottles I was, I honestly believe, delivered from the grave and entirely cured. I am now a strong and hearty man.” Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cleanse the clogged system from accumulated impurities.

Several years before the discovery of oil at Pithole an Irishman named McCarthy and his son Dan came to this country from the Emerald Isle. Dan was a young man of 20, but his father looked upon him as a mere boy and seemed to take delight in ridiculing him before people. "Yis, Dan is a good b'y," he would say sarcastically, "but, Danny, me b'y, yez'll niver set the river on fire." This was his stock witticism, and it armoyed Dan very much, but he did his best and soon surprised the old gentleman by securing a lucrative job. "Yis, Danny has a job all right," he said. "It's $1.50 a day, but the b'y'll niver set the river on fire. Not he." When oil was found at Pithole, Dan hurried to the scene and was soon earning unusually large wages as a teamster. All the petroleum was drawn in barrels, and teams were in great demand. He saved his money, bought an acre of land and soon had a well drilled that was producing 100 barrels of oil per day at $10 per barrel. The elder McCarthy joined him, saw the well, received a liberal gift of money, and then shook his head ominously. "Tis a good thing, Danny," he croaked; "ye're doin well, but mark me worruds, yez'll niver set the river on fire, me b'y." A few days later a flood wrecked one of Dan's small wooden tanks, the oil ran down the river, and there was great excitement. As Dan and his father stood on the bank watching the oil float away Dan drew a match and lighted it. "Father," he said coolly, "the next tome yez say Oi'll niver set the river on fire plaze remimber that Oi had a chance wanst, and—and didn't do ut bedad!" Then he blew out the match.—Harper's Dazar.

But I am sure Henrietta would resent any insinuation that the girl was not away in the lead, no matter what the occasion might be." — Washington Star. STOPS PAIN Athens, Tenn., Jan. 27, 1901.

It is perhaps true as told that a tramp, searching a garbage barrel for scraps of refuse food, found a fortune in good United States currency. Such a thing may happen. But the workman who gives up a steady occupation however unremunerative to hunt garbage barrels for a fortune will surely degenerate to a tramp. There is a difference between finding a value. When the stomach and the allied organs of digestion and nutrition are diseased the nutrition contained in food is imperfectly extracted and the body fails of nutrition adequate to its needs. The shipwrecked sailor living upon scraps in which there is no nutrition is on a level with the man who eats abundant nutritious food but whose stomach with its allied organs is diseased and therefore fails to extract from the food eaten the nutrition which is the body's need. SOUND STOMACH, SOUND MAN. That is almost an axiom. The man with a sound stomach and good digestion will in ordinary be a sound man, because the nutrient of food is the life and strength of heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and every organ of the body. The first need of a weak man is to look after his stomach and his digestion. There is the common seat of physical weakness. How weak men have been made strong; strong of heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, and other organs by being made strong of stomach and strong of digestion has been told thousands of times by those who have used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. "I write to tell you of the great benefit I have received from the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery," writes Mr. G. B. Bird, of Byrnside, Putnam Co., W. Va. "It cured me of a very bad case of indigestion associated with torpid liver. Before I began the use of 'Golden Medical Discovery' I had no appetite; could not sleep nor work but very little. The little that I ate did not agree with me, bowels constipated, and life was a misery to me. I wrote to Dr. Pierce giving the symptoms, and asked for advice. You advised me to try the 'Golden Medical Discovery' so I began the use of it and after taking four bottles I felt so well that I went to work, but soon got worse, so I again began the use of it and used it about eight weeks longer, when I was permanently cured. I took in all twelve bottles of the 'Discovery' and some of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets in connection with the 'Discovery.'" Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It cures through the stomach diseases which seem remote from that organ but which have their origin in disease of the stomach and its allied organs. There is no alcohol in 'Golden Medical Discovery' and it is entirely free from opium, cocaine and other narcotics. Persons suffering from disease in chronic form are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free. All letters held as strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N.

International Misunderstanding. The English Walnut. Possibly few trees in the old world are more profitable than the English walnut, which thrives in England and all over the northern part of the continent of Europe. The wood is especially used for gun stocks and for many articles of furniture and is found profitable from trees of 10 years of age and upward. There is always a good demand for the nuts, so that there are two distinct lines of profit—by the timber and by the fruit. In our country they thrive in any portion of the eastern states, although as they progress northwardly the tips of the last year's shoots are destroyed by winter. The living portions push out again, however, and generally bear as abundantly as before. In the vicinity of Philadelphia there are numerous trees, planted by the early German settlers, which bear every year. Single or isolated trees sometimes fail to bear fruit on account of the pollen bearing flower maturing and scattering pollen before the nut bearing flower is in condition to receive it, and for this reason crops are more assured when a number of trees are planted together. In this way some of the pollen bearing catkins are conditioned so as to be in bloom before the time that the nut bearing flowers make their appearance.—Mechan's Monthly. The Bride's Perplexity.

What shall I do?—Phila- Spanish Knights Looted by the Irish. The Century has an article on "The Spanish Armada," written by William Frederic Tilton. An introduction is furnished by Captain Alfred T. Muham Mr. Tilton says: The huge Venetian Trinidad Valencera, having sprung a desperate leak, ran for the Irish coast, and soon found herself off O'Dogherty's country, perhaps in Longh Swilly. Part of the crew swam ashore; others huddled into an old leaky ship's boat. A native rowed out toward them, and being promised a bagful of ducats and jewels helped land those in the leaky boat, while another Irishman, bent on richer spoil and heddess of the cries for help, rowed straight for the wreck, which went down while he was looting in the hold. No sooner had the Spaniards got ashore than "wild people," and even the queen's soldiers, fell upon them, robbing them of their "money, gold buttons, rapiers and apparel" and slaughtering numbers of them in cold blood. But one of the O'Donnells came to the rescue, had a great fire built for some of the officers and seemed to "pity their case, especially O'Donnell's wife." One of these officers tells how he was lodged in the cabin of a fellow who sold ale and aqua vitae and was raiding it in a stolen "red cloak with buttons of gold." In the night he robbed his guest of 300 ducats, and the officer heard him "beat out barrels' heads and fill them with plate, money and jewels." The Spaniards, having saved no provisions, were forced to buy a few wretched horses, "which they killed and did eat, and some small quantity of butter that the common people brought also to sell."

Chimney or Hearth Money. What you call "chimney money" is the same as the house tax called "hearth money." It was established as a means of making up the deficiency in the revenue granted after the restoration to Charles II. It was repealed by I and II William and Mary, c. 10, but was reimposed in Scotland in September, 1690, at the rate of 1s. 2d. for every hearth. The repeal was one of the first boons conceded by William on his arrival. "History of Taxation," by Dowell. Navies of the World.

Under present naval contracts Japan in 1899 will go to the fifth place, crowding down the United States and Germany one point.

There is not a straight street nor, in fact, a straight house in the place. Every part of it has the appearance of having suffered from the visitation of an earthquake. Northwich is the center of the salt industry in Cheshire, England. On nearly all sides of the town are big salt works, with their engines pumping hundreds of thousands of gallons of brine every week. At a depth of some 200 or 300 feet are immense subterranean lakes of brine, and as the contents of these are pumped and pumped away the upper crust of earth is correspondingly weakened and the result is an occasional subsidence. These subsidences have a "pulling" effect on the nearest buildings, and they are drawn all ways, and give the town an extremely dissipated appearance. New York Sun. He Was Actually Cleant! Colonel Ibbetson, who died recently in England, was a capital whist player and an insatiable reader. In the interval between games he invariably plunged into a book, never indulging in futile discussions about the plays. He was the hero of the last sensational elopement to Gretna Green. Forty-four years ago he ran off with the Lady Adela Villiers, daughter of the Earl of Jersey. They were never fully pardoned, as it was thought that she had been guilty of a grave misalliance. Indeed the story is told that when they got back to town Lady Adela was reported to have exclaimed to her sister, "I had no idea till I married that the lower orders were so clean in their habits."
