THIRTY YEARS PRACTICE.
A Letter from an Eminent Physician.

Mr.. EDITOR: At the risk OF indorsing pro-
prietary preparation, 1 have few words in
favor Of new laxative principle. But first.
how I came to discover it. patient asked
about taking joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla- As
sarsaparillas usually contain mercury or iodides
I objected, and asked for the formula, which
finding purely vegetable, and so mild as to be to
my mind almost inert, consented. Imagine
my establishment when perfect laxative action
was reported. 1t has two great points First,
being purely vegetable, it is (unlike mercury
not cumulative in the system, being easily car
ried off by the digestive processes; and second
it is effective with less quantity of the cathar
tic principle than has hitherto been attainable
1t in this respect ranks as discovery and ap-
proaches the ideal, viz: the least medicine CON
sistent with the greatest good. AS people take
laxatives Unfortunately, it is important for
them to know at least one that is safe Tor con-
tinuous use; hence this communication. The
natural laxative effects of this preparation must,
for the reasons above, interest both the public
and the profession.

MRS. FULMER CONVICTED.
A Chance for the Police Force to Dis
tinguish Itself,

Mrs. M. Fulmer, the young woman
recently arrested by Officer Goodman
as vagrant, was yesterday committed
to the county Jail for forty days. When
she appeared to receive sentence, her at
torney moved for a new trial on the
ground that the verdict was contrary to
law and the evidence, and that the
court had erred in admitting certain
testimony; but the motion was denied,
as was also one for an arrest ofjudgment
made upon the same grounds.
Now the anxious public awaits the ar
rest of all the other fallen women of the
city by the vigilant police force, or else
a plausible explanation why the one in
question was singled out. Officers
Rickenbach and Goodman accuse each
other OF having been ON more or less in
innate terms with the woman arrested.
Altogether the case may be described as
a pretty how do do.

THE CABLE ROAD.
The Horse Lines to Be Made into Elec-
trio Roads,

The management of the Pacific Rail-
way company, which is the technical
name of the cable road company of this
city, has decided to substitute electricity
for horse power on it's Spring street line
and other branches. The power will be
generated at the Seventh street power
house. Mr.. Crank on investigation
found that the necessary power could be
had there, without in any way increasing
the cost of operating the cable lines, and
the roads operated at tithe of the ex-
pense of the present horse system. The
work Of Transforming the roads will be-
gin in very short time. 1t is very pos
sible that if the system proves a success
on the branches, it will eventually be
introduced on the main lines. Alto
gether the improvements contemplated
by the Gable company will necessitate
the expenditure OF nearly million OF
dollars.

THE REFORMERS.
They Name Candidates to be Selected
at Mondays Meeting.

At eight O'Clock last night meeting
of the Municipal Reform association was
held in Justice Lockwood's courtroom
for the purpose of nominating ticket
for the coming city election, Mr. Bosby-
shell in the char, and seventy-one of
the one hundred committeeman, ap-
pointed at the last meeting, were pres
ent.
On motion OF G. P. Dorland commit
tee of five was appointed by the schair
for the purpose of arranging the order
in which the nominations should be
made, as follows: G. P. Dorland, Thos.
Goss, H. w. Hellman, L. Lichtenber-
ger and L. N. Breed.
H. D. Barrows then moved that an
other committee of five be appointed to
prepare an address to the voters of the
city, whereupon +. Sabichi moved as an
amendment that Barrows do it alone.
After a good deal of squabbling, the
amendment was withdrawn and the
original motion prevailed. The chairman
had already appointed H. d. Barrows,
H. Sinsabaugh and R. f. Hoyt, when
L. Lichtenberger, who thought that a
platform was unnecessary, moved to re-
consider. This motion prevailed and the
original was finally laid on the table.
A recess of ten minutes was then
taken to allow the committee time in
which to make its report, but before the
recess was ordered, an exciting scene
occurred, in which DIR. HI. Sinsabaugh
and ALI. Moore were the principals, the
former having declared that he was
tired of hearing "rings and schemes"
spouted, and the latter vehemently de-
claring that the reformers would be
duped if they did not keep strict
watch on some of their members.
The meeting was again called to order
at s AS o'clock, when the committee on
the order of the nominations made its
report as follows:
For mayor-Hazard, Bryant, Jones,
Humphreys, Johnson.
For superintendent of streets-Hutch.
inson, Brown, McNally, Miller. Carr.
For clerk-Robinson, Suter, Teed
McGregor.
For attorney Dunlap,
Hutton, Whaling, Cochran, Henning
Hardesty, Howard.
For treasurer-Johnson,K Kays, Kuhrts
Polk.
For engineer-Dockweile Lownes
Wright, Culver, Fisher.
For assessor-Quinn, Gafey, Smith
Bilderrain, Fischer.

THE NATIONALISTS.
They Propose to be Facton in the
Coming Election.

SO!AiuS IACCIIOAs
A mass meeting of the Nationalists of
Los Angeles was held in the upper
Turn Verein hall last evening to decide
what action should be taken in the COM
ing municipal campaign.
Charles A. Connell was chosen chair
man, and A. Vinette secretary. w. H.
Stuart advocated waiting until the other
parties had nominated their candidates,
and then ascertain which of them were
favorable to nationalistic measures. Mr..
Steel favored the same plan. N
Judah did not favor issuing a regular
ticket, but only the exertion OF secret
influence.
A committee of three, with the chair
man, drafted the following, platform,
which was adopted:
City ownership of water works and
lighting systems.
No more franchises to be given with
out clause of forfeiture in case of nom
compliance with their conditions, and a
provision for purchase at any time by
the city at value fixed by arbitration.
The establishment of free employ
ment bureau.
The strict enforcement OF the eight
hour ordinance on city work, whether
done bv day labor or by contract.
The submission of amendments to the
charter to direct vote of the people,
on petition OF three per cent. of the
qualified voters.
The amendment of the city charter to
secure an economical administration of
city affairs.
On motion of J. D. Steele, commit
tee of three, consisting OF N. Judah.
A. Vinette and &. H. Connell, was ap-
pointed to present these demands to the
various conventions, and to investigate
the character of candidates.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Second Libsrati Concert at the
Los Angeles.

Los Angeles.
The programme announced for the
Liberati concert last night was totally
changed, much to the disappointment
of many, who went to hear special bits
of music. The new programme, how
ever, was good one, containing many
excellent selections. 1t was as follows
Overture, William Tell (Rossini)
waltz, Estudiantin (WaldteufeD; grand
selection from Macbeth (VerdD soprano
solo, Miss Parepa; overture, Tannhauser
(Wagner); andante from. Surprise Sym
phonie (Hayden); cornet solo, Signor
Liberati; Robert Bruce grand fantasia
on Scotch airs (Bonnisseau).
The best things in the above were the
two overtures and the Macbeth. The
closing piece, giving Annie Laurie, The
Banks of Doom, Haste to the Wedding,
There Is No Luck About the House, The
Bonnets of Bonnie Dundee, and other
familiar Scotch airs, was much enjoyed.
The selections were all done in very
excellent manner. The musical people
present enjoyed all the numbers. Signor
Liberati's cornet solo drew forth pro-
longed and rapturous applause. 1t was
mastery effort. In the concerted pieces
the Instrumentation was as near without
flaw as is possible. The half hundred
pieces are handled as if one soul inspired
them all.
There will be matinee this afternoon,
and the season closes tonight, when the
following programme will be rendered :
Nibelungen March, Wagner; overture,
Tannhauser (by request), Wagner; So
prano solo (Wagner), Miss Parepa;
Grand Fantasie from Lohengrin, Wag-
ner; overture (Zampa), Herold; Turk
ish Patrol. Michaelis; Arabs Patrol,

many by the united bands in Berlin. 1t
is the best selection of the week.
1t will be noticed the Mobiles of the
Mystic Shrine of this city will be present
in body this evening.

to see women in a trance supported In

not possible; they violate tho laws Of
nature, and therefore must be illusions.
And so, through the glamor thrown
upon them by Indaba-zimbis will,
tho Zulu Impi seemed to see
me transfxed with an assegai that
never touched me- At least that is
my theory; II any one has better, let
him adopt it. The explanation lies be-
tween illusion and magic of most i'm
posing character, and prefer to accept
the first alternative.
