Ruef's Confession The confession of Abe Ruef, political boss of San Francisco, opens the way for conviction of many men in high places in this state. Ruef's confession was the supreme consummation of the long task of the prosecution. When Ruef, pallid but resolved, walked into the presence of the nineteen grand jurors and sat in the witness chair the long, hard fight was won, the feat which seemed impossible was achieved. Ruef's testimony delivers to the law men supreme in the social and the political life of California—men who have held their heads high; men so lofty in power and station, so strongly intrenched behind piles of money-bags that they seemed exalted above the law. The men who will be indicted on evidence by Ruef are: 1. Eugene E. Schmitz, thrice elected mayor of San Francisco, the representative of the labor unions who sold himself and the unions to the corporations. 2. Patrick Calhoun, grandson of John C. Calhoun, the great leader of the South, and great-grandnephew of Patrick Henry, Southern gentleman, multimillionaire, lawyer, and one of the master financiers of Wall Street. 3. William F. Herrin, chief counsel of the Southern Pacific railroad, political manager in California for E. H. Harriman of New York, boss of the republican party in California, and for many years the most powerful personage in the politics of the state. 4. Will Tevis, multimillionaire and leader of the Burlingame set in society, son and heir of the late Lloyd Tevis; the man by whose name all the snobs in San Francisco were wont to conjure. 5. Tirey L.

It is a conservative statement that never before did a grand jury disclosure of political corruption complete and stupefying as to which Abe Ruef told Wednesday. The tremulousness of the day had disappeared. Ruef, haggard, was master of his art. He was a willing witness; he precisely the material informa give in order to fix the crime guilty millionaire and politician he told the story with that fluent impressiveness which are the teristic qualities of his discount in public and in private. His mony, unless there is something wrong with California, will poke of stripes upon many men who in high places.

Ford, chief counsel of the United Railroads, one of the most widely known and most popular men in California, formerly attorney-general of the state—a man whose error was caused by a mistaken loyalty to a corrupt corporation and in whose fall many will sorrow and none will rejoice. 6. Thornwell Mullally, assistant to Patrick Calhoun, a young man who was sent to California as Calhoun’s resident representative in the office of the United railroads; also a Southern gentleman who established himself immediately in the smartest society in San Francisco. 7. William M. Abbett, assistant general counsel of the United Railroads, a young lawyer of good ability, great promise and wide popularity, a protege of Tirey L. Ford, who was Ford’s chief assistant in the attorney-general’s office, who went with Ford into the service of the United Railroads, and like Ford was broken down through a mistaken loyalty to that debauching corporation. 8. Frank Drum, director of the gas company, formerly confidential secretary to the late Lloyd Tevis, executor of the Tevis will and now manager of the Tevis millions; a young man who is very highly regarded socially and who is exceedingly popular. 9. George Maxwell, a well-known democratic politician, lieutenant of the late Sam Rainey, and one of the owners of the municipal crib. Ruef, lawyer-like, had all the points of his testimony clearly in his mind, and he recited his story with practically no questions or suggestions from Francis J. Heney, although Heney, of course, was not surprised by any of the information supplied by Ruef. Having resolved to make a clean breast of the whole business, Ruef shielded to one—at least no one of the magnates. To a man they had abandoned him. Wednesday morning when he stood up in court, he who had had triumphs from the cheering populace, Information secured as to description is as follows: The load water line will be feet; extreme beam 85 feet; ment on trial not more than tons; total coal bunker capacity; speed on trial, 21 knots.

Having resolved to make a clean breast of the whole business, Ruef shielded to one—at least no one of the magnates. To a man they had abandoned him. Wednesday morning when he stood up in court, he who had had triumphs from the cheering populace, who could not leave the city without being escorted to the ferry by a procession of shouting retainers, and who, when he walked in the streets in the old days had been surrounded by courtiers like a king, was alone and friendless, save for two faithful servants, Myrtile Cerf and the office boy, Charley Heggerty. If Ruef out of friendship spared any old accomplice, it was some obscure person. He turned upon the millionaires who had deserted him and delivered every single one of them into the hands of District Attorney Langdon and Francis J. Heney.

Conservative statement to say before did a grand jury hear of political corruption so and stupefying as the story Ruef told Wednesday morning. Mulousness of the previous disappeared. Ruef, though as master of his emotions, willing witness; he knew the material information to alter to fix the crime on each monaire and politician, and history with that fluency and mess which are the characteristics of his discourse, both and in private.

The ships will carry ten and twelve twelve-inch guns and a battery of fourteen five-inch determined. In explanation of these instructions, the Secretary said that the notably increased cost of materials and construction, the uncertainties encountered in transportation and the scarcity and high price of labor are deterring contractors from bidding for the government work. Conditions have altered so materially since the first estimates of cost of construction were made and the allotments of the fund approved, that he deemed it advisable to direct that a reduction of the work in some instances and a suspension in others would be considered. It would be most unwise to continue work where circumstances are so disadvantageous, or to incur expenses which in the future may be considered as unduly large. By concentrating on those works now nearing completion, new revenues will be coming into the fund, and when the labor conditions and transportation facilities become normal, the work on other projects can go forward more economically and with greater rapidity. The expenditures during the past quarter has averaged about $1,500,000 a month. At this rate, the funds available for new construction will be exhausted before the end of the calendar year. WINDS AND DRAFTS. The Former Are Beneficial, but the Latter Are Dangerous. By a draft is meant the currents of air in an inclosed space. Our fore-fathers attributed nearly all the evils that beset them to drafts, and they would not have slept in uncurtained beds for anything. Of course their windows and doors were shaky, and houses stood far apart, so drafts were nearly inevitable. But the modern scientific world tries to deny drafts altogether and calls them winds, which are harmless and even healthy to a certain By a draft is meant the currents of air in an inclosed space. Our forefathers attributed nearly all the evils that beset them to drafts, and they would not have slept in uncurtained beds for anything. Of course their windows and doors were shaky, and houses stood far apart, so drafts were nearly inevitable. But the modern scientific world tries to deny drafts altogether and calls them winds, which are harmless and even healthy to a certain degree. Any one who cares to find out the difference between a wind and a draft can do so in any apartment which has windows on different sides of the house. Let him open a window on a windy day on the side of the house toward which the wind blows. The air which comes in is quite harmless if the person exposed to it be dressed in warm clothes, and little children may take the air in a room thus ventilated. But let him open a window past which the wind blows, and it will be found that the air in the room is moved by a number of currents, all of which strive to reach the opening. It is the passing wind which sucks up the air in the room and draws it out, and this causes the room to have what is called a draft. The effect upon sensitive persons is immediately felt, like the forerunner of pain to come. A draft will always be felt as colder than the wind. Very dangerous drafts are those that are produced in railway cars by the rapid motion of the train. It is not wind that gets into the carriages, but the air of the car which is sucked out. A lighted match held to the chink of the window will prove this, as the flame will be drawn toward the window, not blown from it. "The Bridge" Born of Sorrow. "My poem entitled 'The Bridge,'" said Longfellow, "was written in sorrow, which made me feel for the loneliness of others. I was a widower at the time, and I used sometimes to go over the bridge to Boston evenings to meet friends and return near midnight by the same way. The way was silent, save here and there a belated footstep. The sea rose or fell among the wooden plers, and there was a great furnace on the Brighton hills whose red light was reflected by the waves. It was on such a late, solitary walk that the spirit of the poem came upon me. The bridge has been greatly altered, but the place of it is the same." Reclamation Work Secretary of the Interior has following general instruction: Director of the reclamation: Concentrate on and give to the works upon which soon is nearly completed and the projects will soon be provenue. Discontinue further fires for general investigation wherever practicable reduction or suspension of work acts which are so located desirable bids for construction been secured. Recommendation to entry all lands now under the terms of the Reclact, the reclamation of which may be undertaken in the near fuholding, however, all reserior lands which may be rerights of way for future practicability has been English Cookery. French cookery came from Italy, but long before France attained any distinction English cooking was spoken of as the best in Europe. After the reign of Henry VIII, soups and fish fell into general disuse, and larger quantities of meat occupied their place. "In the reign of James II, cookery had fallen to its lowest depth. It revived a little in the reigns of Anne and George I., degenerated again in the reigns of George II. and III., until at last Englilish cooking was little better than that of the ancient Britons." That Government control of the range lands of the National Forests is beneficial to the stockmen in the West is evidenced by the increase of sentiment in favor of the present system of administration. Stockmen say that the prevention of overgrazing and overcrowding which has been made possible by regulation has resulted in improved stock and therefore larger profits. The condition of the ranges in the National Forest is being rapidly improved and range controversies which caused so much trouble under the old system are now almost a thing of the past.

Boss Cox of Cincinnati said he was ready to come out of retirement and be a party to any old sort of harmony. Secretary Taft said all he wanted was harmony, and even Senator Foraker said he would like a little harmony in his too. But it developed on further inspection that what they all wanted was different brands of harmony. Senator Foraker said that on consideration, he found the sort of harmony he was expected to be a party to would involve an easy chair and a cooling drink in some retired spot where the turmoil of public life would not disturb him. This was not what he wanted. Rest was not what he was after, he only wanted recreation. Boss Cox said he only spoke for himself, just the way he has usually worked when there was anything doing. And Secretary Taft, who has not been saying much, found that the harmony program was off and has continued to maintain a discrete silence. It will be war to the knife till the election in Ohio a year hence. It will mean from present appearance the political death of Senator Foraker or the extinction of Mr. Taft's presidential prospects.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address: F. J.
