Sore Eyes
The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids inilamcd and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has
become disordered by Scrofula, for
which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.

1lammation in my eyes, caused me much

had long lead with B. B. second and Al
bert w. several lengths in the rear. Albert
w. took second place at the half, which
Dawn made in 1:09L. Rounding the further
turn, Albert W. closed some OF the gap, and
for time it looked as though he had some
chance for the heat. He made a break
when half way down the home stretch, and
though he lost very little ground, it made
sure thug for Dawn. who finished easily

AT the Grand.

The Long & Mott Comedy Company drew
a good Louise last night at a rcpest OF
"Young Mrs. winthrop" The play ran even
more smoothly than on the previous nights,
as some of the members were more perfect
in their lines,
BY the way will not Miss Darragh follow
the lines of the author in one place. and say
"About Dick and me-" instead OF "Abou t
Dick and I?'
At the matinee this afternoon "The Pri-
yate Secretary will be repeated, and this
evening "a Victim of circumstances" will
be presented for the first time. OF this the
Stockton Independent says, THE play at
Avon Theater last night, IA Victim OF Cir
cumstances," attracted larger audience
than the initial performance at this house.
1t would be hard to select more perfect
cast for the lively and mirth-c0mprisng
comedy, abounding as it does ia eccentric
business, bright repartee, sound wit and
conyulsive situations. From the rise OF the
curtain on the first act until its final fall,
the fun gradually increases until 1t culmi-
mates in the widest possible merriment.
Miss Tittell made quite an impression as
the wife, sustaining the pleasant reputation
made in her former visits. The manage
ment should find opportunity to repeat this
bright comedy during the week, when
house filed TO its utmos capacity may be
predicted. Everybody wishing to enjoy
good laugh should take advantage OF such

Gently from Panama. in ballast, wen. on
board his vessel this evening and found the
crew engaged in quarrel. Ssm Collymore,
a negro sailor, had a capstan bar raised and
was advancing to attack the first mate, who
stood near the captain The latter fired a
shot in the air to frighten the negro, when
Collymore dropped the bar and rushed on
the captain with drawn knife. When he got
within few feet of his intended victim the
captain fired another shot from his revolver
and killed him instantly.
THE BULLET STRUCK HIM
In the base OF the neck, on the left side, and
must have severed the artery. The Captain
delivered himself to the police and is now
in Jail. lis story as above is corroborated
by the first mate and several members OF
the crew. That Captain states that Colly-
more had made threats against his life,
owing to being refused his discharge at this
port. The matter was referred to the Brit
ish Consul at the time, who advised Captain
Ellis, ON the first attempt OF violence on the
part OF Collymore, to shoot him. This, the
Captain says, is what he did, in pure self

TURKEYS CONDUCT.
England will Wait for a Day of

NEW YORK, october 22.-Powers O'Connor
cables from London to the Star: There is
still no absolute certainty of the truth OF
the staten ent that Turkey has given Russia
sole control over the approaches to Con-
stantinople and virtually the mastery over
the Mohamedan Empire; but reports to
that effect still keep coming in from Euro
pean capitals, especially from the east.
The English press generally are disposed
to accept the reported transfer of Turkish
interests from England to Russia as an ac-
complished fact. There are some import.
ant exceptions, but the majority of the real
leaders of public opinion give up the strug'
gle to isolate Russia and declare that Eng
land will from this time forta leave Turkey
to be swallowed in any manner the conti-
mental powers propose. Some papers hint
that when the inevitable struggle does
come, the powers that are now so stiff will
be glad to come to England for war loans,
ships of war and some of her superabund-
ant population; but England, in such an
event, win keep her money, ships and men
for settling her own account The general
opinion at the clubs is that Bulgaria Will

lation, not only at home, but alio on this

special correspondent in this city in Prof.

not calculated to inspire confidence in his
ability to learn bottom facts concerning
men and business, however profound he
may. be in penetrating the bowels of mother
earth.
The following is translation from the
opening of his recent letter to the Independ-
ent:
"Something should be said OF the fatal
invasion, and saturation Of the Los Angeles

languishes, and bitter complaints abound.
but the winter influx is not so numerous as
1t has been in preceding years, and there ts

building goes on. On every street some
kind OF constructions are being erected.
1t is believed by some. upon word OF honor,
that our village is destined to become the
capital of California; at the same time,
business complaints are unceasing. Several
bankrupt faIlm es are already forseen, the
trade in jewelry being most seriously Grip
pied. 1t must be said, however, that In the
hope OF great profits, the Jews of fine bijon-
terie have thrown themselves en- masse
upon our place. The children of Israel
have certainly been miiled in spite of their

Lou W. Beach, a young man formerly con-
nected with the Southern Pacific Transfer
Company, was arres'ed near the new depot

Aguirre. Beach some time ago got into

At that time he was charged with forgery.
Since then he has been following Ca

minated yesterday in his being locked up.

worthless checks upon tradespeople, and is
charged with obtaining mouey under ialse

jeweler, and another for 1926 on ii. Siegel,

ON another bank was settled. In all cases,
upon presentation of the checks the bank,
it was found that the drawer had no funds

DIED OF HIS WOUNDS.

Murder of A. Schn elder,

Andrew Schneider who was given up by
his physician, DR.. Kurtz. on Thursday, died
yesterday afternoon at 2:l5, at the Cape
Horn saloon, corner of Upper Main and Ala
media streets. The immediate cause OF his
death was blood poisoning. During fight
on Monday night week ago. German
laborer, named George Dietrich, inflicted
four wounds upon the deceased with a
knife which afterwards could not be found
Three of the wounds were insignificant, but
the fourth ripped open the abdomen so that
the bowels protruded. AT first there seemed
to be many chances for the recovery of the
wounded man, who was possessed of good
health and a powerful constitution, but
blood-poisoning interyened and was the
cause of his death. In his ante-mortem
statement on Thursday the deceased posi-
lively accused Dietrich OF doing the cutting,
though the prisoner as pos lively denies
having done it. Upon the news of Schnei-
der's death being received at Justice Aus

county jail and formally charged with mur
der. His examination is set for 10 O'Clock

For Congress, Joseph ID. Lynch.
The citizens of Santa Barbara have had
an opportunity now to hear the candidates
for Congress from this district, who are the
most prominent applicants for their suf-
frages. They are now in position to judge.
SO far as they can, by personal inspection of
these gentlemen and by listening to their
speeches, which Of them to choose. The
Independent, leaving all questions OF party
lines aside, has come to the conclusion
that Mr.. Lynch will better subserve the ma
terfal interests OF this district at the present
time, than can General Vandever, or almost
any other citizen in Southern California.
For the past sixteen years Mr.. Lynch has
been actively engaged In bringing to the
attention OF the world the unriyalled adyan-
tages OF Southern California. Both at San
Diego and Los Angeles he has edited journ-
ais, the whole burden of whose columns
has been the merits OF this portion of the
State. He has necessarily studied deeply
of this region. He has been in every
township III this district, and looked at 1t
with an eye single to see what could
best be done in that region, and how, 1t
could best be developed. He has seen Los
Angeles grow up, largely through his
efforts, from town OF 5000 Inhabitants to a
city Of nearly $4,000. He has advocated
every important enterprise that has been

of harbors, of public buildings, of ports OF

as well as OF duty to get from Congress ap-

further development.
As to General Vandever, as a citizen and
as an honorable and Intelligent gentleman,
we have no criticism. But he q Is new conner
