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 incurabe. For
a great many years Doctors pronounc-
ed it local disease, and prescribed To-
cal remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounce
ed it to be incurable. Science has pro-
ven catarrh to be constitutional dis
ease and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken inter
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly upon the
blood and mucus surface of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
ease it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address,

PENDANT and his wife seemed to be
devoted to each other, but not more
than they should have been. ! saw
nothing wrong in her conduct, ex-

language. For the past two months
the only change | saw in defendant
was that he was not as cheerful
and mirthful as he had been. / had a
conversation with defendant one Sun
day afternoon on his removal to the
country, In which he told me that he
was expecting to be Killed. He did
not say who would kill him, but |
understood who he meant. He was
considerably affected during this con-
versation, but can't say that he was
crying.

CROSS EXAMINED.

In the conversation at my house
on Saturday before the killing, de-
PENDANT said that deceased had IN.
suited his wife and that she had
told deceased that she was surprised
at him, and had always looked upon
him as a friend, and thought she
was as safe with him as with her
brother; nobody stayed with the
body of deceased while Charley was
gone to give himself up to the of
fieers; his children came down to my
house early on the morning of the
killing and stayed all day.

We frequently use bismuth in our prac-

one-sixth of one per cent. arsenic, and
sometimes it is said to contain more.

The Outfall sewers.

City Engineer Fred Eaton is busy pre-
pairing an ordinance calling for voting for
bonds for the Sewer Fund, and if not pre-
sented to-day te the City Council, it will
be ready next week. Mr.. Eaton says
that the only available way that the sew
age can now be carried away is via
Ballona, as the Inglewood land has been
sub-divided and is is feared that the sew
age would contaminate the water. Mr..
Eaton says that in his opinion
it is matter OF great re-
gret that the sewage should be wasted
but it seems impossible now to obtain q
right-of-way through a territory where
lands available for the refuse would be
in proximity. There is little land that
might be used on the Ballona route, he
says, but not enough to cut any figure.

Interesting Services Held at vara-
Ous places.
The churches were we'll attended yes
terday. The weather was pleasant and
nearly everybody was out. There were
no special services but the sermons
preached were, in all cases, very inter-
esting. The Sunday Schools were also
well attended. and the young folks sp-
pesred to be looking forward to the picnic
season. None have been announced, so
far, but arrangements ara being made for
several to be held in the near future.
Rev. DR.. W. J. Chichester delivered
an eloquent and instructive discourse at
the Church of Immenuel yesterday fore
noon, on the practical knowledge of
Gods love to be obtained by the willing
ness to seek earnestly for that knowledge.
No argument, no book theories, no study
OF theology or of the doctrinal points OF
religion. is necessary to attain this
knowledge. 1t can be acquired by the
giving over of the heart and the mind
and the will to good works, and the con-
secration of purpose and thought to
Christ. When this is done, the seeker
after truth will find that knowledge and
peace which come from close and low
ing relationship with the Almighty.
At the First Baptist Church, yester-
day, DIR. Read again occupied the pull
pit, which had been supplied for the
past three Sabbaths by ministers other
than the pastor. He preached a very
interesting and instructive sermon from
the text "You are not your own, you are
bought with price," During the sum-
mer months DIR. Read will deliver short
sermons on popular subjects, at the
evening services, to be preceded by
twenty minute prayer services. The
subject last night was "The Inspiration
OF the Bible" The subjects will be an
nounced from time to time and the series
promises to be full of interest and in
struction. On next Sunday evening, in
stead of the regular service, praise SER
vice will be given, the whole time being
taken. The regular male quartette, con-
sisting of Messrs. Ney, sigler, Williams
and Lowe, will be assisted by ladies'.
Mrs. Ogilvie has general charge of the
music and her connection with it is a
guarantee that it will be success. The
programme will be announced later in
the week.
