Love and Death are both depicted as archers. When Love sets his arrow in a woman's heart and she turns and follows, seeking healing of her hurt, could there be aught sadder then that she should be led by very Love into the ambush where Death, arrow on string, waits to plant his deadly shaft in her breast? Yet so it is. Time and again Love proves to be Death's decoy. And often when the grim archer fails to inflict mortal hurt, he leaves the suffering woman to creep through life like a broken-winged bird. Why does love lead to suffering? Many a woman has asked that question piteously and passionately. She has forsaken father and mother to cleave unto her husband in the belief that so she was achieving woman's highest happiness. But instead of happiness she has found misery, struggled with it until struggle seemed useless, and at last has come to accept her misery as the "cross" laid upon women who love and marry. There is no real reason why almost every wife and mother should not enjoy sound health. The causes of her misery lie in diseases which affect the delicate, womany organism. Disagreeable drains are carrying away the vital force. Inflammation has lightened its fire for slow torment. Ulceration is eating into the tender tissues. Female weakness is making life a daily martyrdom. Is it The Weekly Gazette. Established 1870. SUBSCRIPTION - $1 50 Per Year. Six months... $1 00 Three months... 75 Payable invariably in advance.

Ulceration is eating into the tender tissues. Female weakness is making life a daily martyrdom. Is it any wonder that the nerves are racked, that appetite fails, and night, which should bring rest, brings only restless and troubled dreams? Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures the womanly diseases which undermine the general health. It dries the drains puts out the fire of inflammation, heals the ulcerated tissues and cures female weakness. In a word, it makes weak women strong and sick women well. "Favorite Prescription" is a true temperance medicine. It contains no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, or other narcotic. Sick and ailing women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free of charge. All correspondence strictly private and sacredly confidential.

"I wrote to you concerning my health last Spring (I think it was in June), and you advised me to take your Favorite Prescription" and "Golden Medical Discovery," which I did according to directions, and continued taking them for five months. I took nine bottles of Favorite Prescription, six of Golden Medical Discovery, and four vials of Dr. Pierce's Pellets. My disease was displacement and ulceration of the uterus, and I was in a terrible condition with pain and weakness, and had given up all hopes of ever being well again. Had doctored with four different doctors within four months, and instead of getting better was growing weaker all the time. I decided to try your medicines, as I had heard of the many cures resulting from their use. I bought five bottles and felt so much better after using them that I kept on until I am as well as ever in my life, and to Dr. Pierce all the praise is due. "Before I began taking your medicine I only weighed 120 pounds. I now weigh 160 pounds. I gained forty pounds in six months. I shall doctor no more with doctors, as it is only a waste of money.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY. MAY 21, 1903. Editorial Note and Comment For the first time in the history of the green fruit industry of California, the Southern Pacific company is manifesting a sincere desire to promote the industry by aiding the growers and shippers to get their fruit to the East in a marketable condition. As a result of a conference held between the representatives of the fruit shipping interests and traffic and transportation officials of the Southern Pacific, an effort will be made this year by the Southern Pacific and its connections to handle the fruit shipments on something approaching a fixed and fast train schedule. It is announced that fruit in trainloads will be handled from Sacramento to Chicago on a seven-day schedule, as soon as the fruit begins to move in train lots. The first full carload of cherries to be shipped to the Eastern markets has left Vacaville for Chicago and later, when apricots, peaches and plums begin to ripen, shipments will begin to move in trainloads. As soon as the fruit begins to move in quantities sufficient to make up solid trains, the Southern Pacific will undertake to deliver the fruit at Chicago in exactly seven days from Sacramento, and if the company carries out this program, all growers and shippers will profit from the advantage of being able to place of work the law makers failed to include the item of $1980 a year in the general appropriation bill. Gov. Pardee has said that if there is any possible way in which other funds in the State treasury can be used for payment of the secretary's salary, he will authorize such action. The secretary of the interior is beginning to receive reports on the suspension of timber and stone land entries in California, Oregon and Washington, and so far as they go they confirm the wisdom of the order of suspension which was made last fall. There is a thorough conviction on the part of the officials of the Interior department that many, if not most of the entries under the timber act which were made on the Pacific coast during the year 1902, were made in the interest of syndicates, and the protests received since the issuance of the orders strengthens this conviction. Since then not a single entry under that law in the states covered by the order has been allowed to go to patent without thorough investigation. There are many special agents in that field, and the new law permitting the compulsory attendance of witnesses in connection with land entry investigations is expected to prove of great assistance to them in establishing the validity or lack of validity of such entries. In one state alone last year there was an increase in the entries PRESIDENT ON EXPANSION Notable utterances of the Executive upon Subject of Great Interest to California. President Roosevelt's most important speech after his address at the St. Louis exposition was made in San Francisco when he spoke in Mechanic's pavilion to a large audience of representative people. He took for his subject "Expansion and the Development and Protection of the Country's Newly Acquired Possessions in the Pacific," together with his advocacy of a greater navy. The speech was one of particular interest to Californians and he arroused his auditors to a high pitch of enthusiasm. It was a mighty gathering that listened to the president. The doors of the pavilion were thrown open to the public at an early hour and thousands of citizens thronged the building long before the arrival of the presidential party. On being introduced the cheering was such that it was some minutes before the president proceeded. In part he said: "Before I saw the Pacific slope I was an expansionist, and after having seen it I fail to see how any man confident of his country's greatness and glad that his country should challenge with proud confidence our mighty future, can be anything but an expansionist. In the century that is opening the commerce and the command of the Pacific will be factors of incalculable moment in the history of the world.

MARRIED one night in a French restaurant by a police judge, after a courtship of an hour, and separated the next morning by mutual agreement, is the rather sudden termination of the romance of Robert Cords, a Fruitvale real estate dealer, who was wedded to Mrs. Minnie Talmadge of San Francisco. Mrs. Talmadge became aware that Cords had inherited a fortune from his father, and Cords was told that she had been given $40,000 by her former husband, so they were willing to wed. The next day she learned that Cord's fortune was in the hands of his guardian, while he in turn found out that her share of her former husband's estate amounted to but $1000. Hence the separation. EASTERN capitalists are investing largely in California timber lands. $10,000,000 has been paid during the last year for title to timber lands in California, and other tracts have been acquired by buying titles of homesteaders, where such a course was possible. In addition to previous transactions, a Texas firm is reported to have purchased 30,000 acres of sugar pine land in Mendocino county for $500,000, and a Minnesota company is said to be negotiating for the transfer of about 5000 acres of timber land in Sierra and Plumas counties, the price being the neighborhood of $1,000,000. It is the avowed policy of Senator W. A. Clark to be friendly with all lines that may desire to connect with his new Salt Lake route. San Pedro harbor, the Pacific coast terminal of his railroad, is regarded by Clark as the most important California port of the future. It is now being extensively improved by the United States government. Some years ago Senator Leland Stanford said: "I expect to live to single entry under that law in the states covered by the order has been allowed to go to patent without thorough investigation. There are many special agents in that field, and the new law permitting the compulsory attendance of witnesses in connection with land entry investigations is expected to prove of great assistance to them in establishing the validity or lack of validity of such entries. In one state alone last year there was an increase in the entries amounting to about 140,000 acres in the course of three months. The secretary of the Interior has decided the various points in the controversy among landowners in Salt River valley in Arizona, over the terms on which they may secure water from the big reservoir the government is to build above Phoenix. The government having decided that when the reservoir shall be built, present owners shall have the preference to water, a dispute arose among those affected as to whether the government deal with them as individuals or as a community. The secretary has decided in favor of the community idea. He also holds that there shall be no preference on account of the age of accrued water rights, but directs that all landholders shall stand on the same basis in acquiring water from the reservoirs. Expenses of maintaining the works will be distributed in proportion to acreage, and mortgages must be given to secure the repayment to the government of the funds expended in the construction of the works. The rulings in this case establish important precedents. The proposed reservoir is expected to irrigate 200,000 acres of land available for growing citrus fruits. An attempt is being made by the representative of a leading wholesale house in Japan to induce the Japanese to buy California oranges, raisins, and other California products on a large scale. Taikiche Shimuizue, secretary of the Dai Tchu Kinke of Tokio, has arrived in San Francisco, and has announced to the state board of trade that he is commissioned to get samples of California fruits, and to arrange to have them transported to Japan under the same conditions that would attend them in actual commercial transactions. A part of the consignment will be refrigerated and a portion sent without ice. Japan is a promising field after having seen it fail to see how any man confident of his country's greatness and glad that his country should challenge with proud confidence our mighty future, can be anything but an expansionist. In the century that is opening the commerce and the command of the Pacific will be factors of incalculable moment in the history of the world. "Our mighty republic has stretched across the Pacific and now in California, Oregon and Washington, in Alaska and Hawaii and the Philippines, holds an extent of coast line which makes it of necessity a power of the first class in the Pacific. The extension in the area of our domain has been immense, the extension in the area of our influence even greater. America's geographical position on the Pacific is such as to insure our peaceful domination of its waters in the future if only we grasp with sufficient resolution the advantages of this position. We are taking long strides in this direction. Witness the cables we are laying down and the great steamship lines we are starting—steamship lines some of whose vessels are larger than any freight carriers the world has yet seen. We have taken the first steps toward digging an isthmian canal, to be under our own control, a canal which will make our Atlantic and Pacific coast lines to all intents and purposes continuous, and will add immensely alike to our commercial and our military and naval strength. "The inevitable march of events gave us the control of the Philippine islands at a time so opportune that it may without irreverence be called providential. Unless we show ourselves weak, unless we show ourselves degenerate sons of the sires from whose loins we sprang, we must go on with the work that we have begun. I earnestly hope that this work will always be peaceful in character. We infinitely desire peace, and the surest way to obtain it is to show that we are not afraid of war. We should deal in a spirit of fairness and justness with all weaker nations, and we should show to the strongest that we are able to maintain our rights. Such showing cannot be made by bluster, for bluster merely invites contempt. Let us speak courteously, deal fairly and keep ourselves armed and ready." "If we do these things we can count on the peace that comes only to the just man armed; to the just man who neither fears nor inflicts wrong. We must keep on building and maintaining a thoroughly efficient navy with plenty of guns and forminable ships; with an ample supply of officers and men and with these officers and men trained in the most thorough way to the best possible performance of their duty. Only thus can we assure our position in the world at large and in particular here on the Pacific. "It behooves us as men of lofty spirit who are proud to belong to a mighty nation, to see to it that we ht ourselves take and to keep a great position in the world, for our proper place is with the expanding nations and the nations that dare to be great, that accept with It is the avowed policy of Senator W. A. Clark to be friendly with all lines that may desire to connect with his new Salt Lake route. San Pedro harbor, the Pacific coast terminal of his railroad, is regarded by Clark as the most important California port of the future. It is now being extensively improved by the United States government. Some years ago Senator Leland Stanford said: "I expect to live to see more shipping enter San Pedro harbor than San Francisco." C. P. Huntington, who was the active head of the Southern Pacific system, had other plans, and Senator Stanford did not live to realize his expectations. It is the purpose, however, of Senator Clark's new road to put San Pedro harbor in touch with all of the southern transcontinental lines. The coal and iron of Utah will naturally find their outlet here and when the Nicaraguan canal is finished San Pedro will be the nearest United States port on the Pacific coast with adequate railroad connections. Senator Clark says that there will be no exclusive traffic agreement. The San Pedro line will treat all connecting lines impartially and offer an open gateway in San Pedro harbor. After spending several vexatious weeks in trying to find a suitable man, one "of recognized education and ability" who would accept the responsible position of secretary of the new text-book commission at a salary of $165 a month, the members of the State board of education made no appropriation for payment of the salary. The Drew act, by which the commission was created, and the compilation of a new series of study books for use in the schools of the State was authorized, was passed during the closing days of the session, and in the overwhelming rush Taikiche Shimuizue, secretary of the Dai Tchu Kinke of Tokio, has arrived in San Francisco, and has announced to the state board of trade that he is commissioned to get samples of California fruits, and to arrange to have them transported to Japan under the same conditions that would attend them in actual commercial transactions. A part of the consignment will be refrigerated and a portion sent without ice. Japan is a promising field for California fruits, in the opinion of the Japanese commercial agent, if the cost of transportation does not prove too great. Because he signed the scale of the waiters' union, William J. Huston, proprietor of a large Omaha restaurant, has been informed by representatives of the Business Mens' Association that his supply of groceries and provisions will be shut off unless he recedes from his action. This association was recently organized as a defensive body against organized labor. Splendid rains in the great fruit-raising sections of the state have assured such a crop as has not been known for years. A serious problem faces the fruit canners, who have not sufficient help, unless the workers now on hand are reinforced by a heavy immigration into the state. Fully eight thousand young women will be required in California by June 1, to assist in the canning factories in caring for the remarkable crop. The California Promotion committee is receiving letters from canneries from all portions of the state complaining of the inadequate supply of help. A contemporary asks, "Does college education disqualify one for the pursuits of life?" It does in Texas, if the man wears a plug hat. According to main advices H. C. Russell, the government astronomer of Australia, claims to have made the discovery after long and careful search among astronomical records, that the moon regulates the rain. Astronomers of the different Australian colonies have indorsed Mr. Russell's theory. Mr. Russell says: "I speak positively when I say I have found the moon controls the rain. My researches extend for thirty-six years. Briefly, when the moon is moving south there is plenty of rain; when it is moving north there are years of drought, so there are alternate wet and dry periods, the wet lasting nine years and the dry ten. So that long beforehand preparations can be made for the coming drought." The Long Beach News cites the case of a resident of that seaside resort engaged in the reprehensible practice of whipping his wife and, worse luck, being "driven to hard drink." Hard drink at Long Beach? The News probably refers to salt water. Gazette. MENT ON EXPANSION Interances of the Executive up-object of Great Interest to California. At Roosevelt's most importafter his address at the St. session was made in San Francisco he spoke in Mechanic's pa-large audience of represent-able.

In the century that is the commerce and the com-me Pacific will be factors of the moment in the history of nearly republic has stretched Pacific and now in Californias and Washington, in Alaska and the Philippines, holds of coast line which makes it a power of the first class in UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Summer lectures on forestry will be given at Idyllwild, Strawberry Valley, San Jacinto mountains, Riverside county, from July 29th to August 10th. There are few subjects of more vital importance to the people of California than a full understanding and appreciation of the principles underlying ra-tional and systematic forestry. The beneficial influence of forests in conserving the seasonable rainfall, and hence the importance of maintaining forest covers upon mountain slopes are now fully recognized the world over. In California, where a uniform supply of-water for irrigation is so necessary, the preservation of the present mountain forests is all important, and the af-foresting or reforesting of slopes and districts now bare is urgently needed. The popular mind is apt to take a sentimental view of forestry, rather than an economic one. In order to correct some of the misconceptions as well as to bring about a better understanding of the underlying principles, the University of California will offer a special course of lectures on the subject. These lectures will be given at Idyllwild, as above announced. This resort is situated in the midst of a country rich in forest flora, which is thus immediately available for illustrations. Dr. Willis L. Jepson of the department of botany, and Professor Arnold V. Stubenrauch of the department of agriculture, have been detailed to take charge of the work. It is hoped that Gifford Pinchot, forester of the U. S. bureau of forestry, who is in charge of the entire government work in forestry, can be secured for lectures upon special topics. The course will consist of ten lectures by each of the instructors from the LOCAL JOTTINGS OF INTEREST Home Telephone A gang of fifteen men has begun work at Santa Ana for the Home Telephone company, which was recently granted a license to conduct a telephone system in this county. The men are erecting poles and stringing wires and in a few days will be joined by a larger force of mechanics. The company will extend its wires to this city and enter the local telephone field. School Census The school census has been completed and shows 6033 white children in the county over 5 years and under 17 years of age; 2 negro and 2 mongolian. The number of children under 5 years is given as 1917, and the total number of children is 7957. The number of school children that have not been vaccinated is 3907.

Dr. Willis L. Jepson of the department of botany, and Professor Arnold V. Stubenrauch of the department of agriculture, have been detailed to take charge of the work. It is hoped that Gifford Pinchot, forester of the U. S. bureau of forestry, who is in charge of the entire government work in forestry, can be secured for lectures upon special topics. The course will consist of ten lectures by each of the instructors from the university, in addition to any that Mr. Pinchot can be prevailed upon to give. Dr. Jepson will treat the subject from a botanical standpoint, explaining the biology of trees, with special reference to their life history and botanical characters: he will also describe the trees and forests of California. Professor Stubenrauch will deal with the economy of forests, their uses and abuses, silvicultural methods and problems of afforestation and reforestation. The lectures will all be of a popular nature and will be fully illustrated by means of charts and lantern slides, as well as by the materials at hand, as found in the forests surrounding Idyllwild. As opportunity may afford, excursions will be made into the forest. The fee for the course will be $6, said fee to go to the University to assist in defraying the expenses of the course. Oxnard's School Slump Oxnard citizens are worried over the slump in the school census and lay it to the fact, largely, that the town is in a bad sanitary condition. Greater efforts than ever will be made to incorporate, so that the town may have the benefits of a thorough sewer system. The school census last year showed a total of 751 children, which was four more than the total returned for the town of Ventura. This year Oxnard shows a decrease of 236 children. The change in the figures is so startling that it has set everybody seeking for a reason. County School Superintendent Sackett is unable to account for it. He says that the same mat took the census this year as last, and that he is very painstaking. In the balance of the county the loss was 176 children, but this is accounted for from the fact that the census this year was made with greater accuracy by reason of the new law governing the enumeration of children. The loss of school money's of the county will be $4,000. "Let us remember," a French woman of great character and devotion once said in a time of special trial "that humility without firmness is cowardice, but that courage without humanity is presumption." It may be hard to keep one's balance, but keep it we must. It is possible, by error on one side, to be weak and lose our own respect and that of others. It is possible by error on the other, to be self-willed and arrogant, and to lose all chance of exerting helpful influence over men. To be lowly and to be strong—Christ can teach us how to ensuing year: Wm. Freeman, Fullerton, president; F. E. Wilson, Westminster, vice-president; H. S. Gordon, Santa Ana, secretary; J. R.

Bidding in Court Bidding in court on real property is not an every day occurrence, but it sometimes enters into the life of the court. It was the case today and while the bidding lasted it was exciting. Nine hundred and eighty-five acres of land situated near Corona, and belonging to the estate of Thomas Yorba, was up for sale to the highest bidder. Francica Sanchez, administrator of the estate had sold the property to F. Grazide for $7,200 and the sale was up for confirmation by the court. On such an occasion any one is allowed to raise the price offered for a piece of property, and R. B. Wardlow was on hand to raise the price offered by Mr. Grazide. The gentlemen raised each other's bid alternately until the property was finally knocked down to Mr. Wardlow for $8,300.-Santa Ana Blade May 15th. Drainage District Farmers owning land near Bolsa met recently at Santa Ana to hear the report of a committee appointed to decide upon boundaries of a proposed drainage district in that locality. The report showed that the proposed district embraced territory lying between the Fairview and the Bolsa mesas, and comprises about 14,000 acres. The area is five miles by seven. There will be six ditches running from the north line to the ocean, making in all about thirty miles of main ditches. Attorney E. E. Keech was employed as attorney for the district, and a committee of five was appointed to assist him in drawing up a petition for submission to the supervisors. S. E. Talbert was retained as President of the organization, J. C. McDowell as secretary. The water raised so much since the rains in the new well of the Orange city water works that it covers the pump in the open part of the well. The action of this submerged pump stirred up the silt in the bottom, giving the impression to the water-users that the well was being filled with fine sand. Instead of pumping out this silt Mr.Turner decided to put in the old pump and gasoline engine from well No.2 and draw the water from near the surface without disturbing the silt in the bottom. The delay in pumping caused by this change following the roly water in the pipes, gave rise to the report that the well had choked up with sand. It is almost as troublesome to have too much water as to have too little for convenience in pumping; but then it is more satisfactory to the users to know that there is plenty in the well—provided that there is little delay in getting it out for use.-Orange Post. "Let us remember," a French woman of great character and devotion once said in a time of special trial "that humility without firmness is cowardice, but that courage without humanity is presumption." It may be hard to keep one's balance, but keep it we must. It is possible, by error on one side, to be weak and lose our own respect and that of others. It is possible by error on the other, to be self-willed and arrogant, and to lose all chance of exerting helpful influence over men. To be lowly and to be strong—Christ can teach us how to combine these. FORMER State Senator Edwin Taylor, one of the leaders of Populism of Kansas and the West, will support Theodore Roosevelt for president, and he says it is his observation that there will be a stampede of populists and socialists in that direction. Taylor supported Weaver for president in 1892, and Bryan in 1896 and 1900. He will stand on those platforms, but between Wall street and Roosevelt, he stands for Roosevelt. "He is our man for next year's race," said Taylor. "He is not exactly our kind people, but he has courage to take up some of our reforms, and we are for him. A good many of us anticipate having a go at Cleveland next year. But we won't figh him as socialists, as it now looks. Neither will we pose as Republicans. A good many will call themselves Roosevelt Republicans." Judge Baxter of Omaha some days ago enjoined a woman from talking. On complaint of Mrs. L. Oliphant Dodge, who claimed that Mrs. E. Berge, a neighbor, was continually gossiping to and about her tenants, he issued an injunction ordering Mrs. Berge not to enter or stop in front of Mrs. Dodge's building, or to talk in a gossipy way of or to anyone living there How's This?
