About the middle of last November John

was about 90 years of age, intelligent and
well educated, having left crack military
school in North Carolina. when n boy in or

sea. He had in so doing, contracted a Sc
we're and ntractabe form of rheumatism.
from which he had suffered intensely for
nearly six months, large part of which
time he bad passed in hospital. One of his
feet was so swollen and dsfgured that h.
supposed he would never again be able TO
wear boot upon it. Stating his case to Mr..
Il. II. Moody, a leading druggist, he asked
if he could recommend to him any good pa
tent medicine. the doctors having failed to
do him any good. Mr.. Moody sold him a
bottle of Rodolf's New Medical Discovery.
Mr.. White, in writing to his mother, Nov
3Oth announced the result as follows:
1t was the most miraculous cure on rec
ord. just think. was instantly relieved
on taking only two doses. | suppose it was
near six o'clock in the evening when went
to one of the parties. took dose then,
and one before retiring and You may not
believe me, but when I awoke the next
morning. it seemed that | had forgotten
something. The pain was completely gone
and since then have been fast recovering.
and at present am completely cured, and
have only taken one bottle.
Mr.. Moody. early in December, received
the following letter from Mr.. Whites
mother:

JOURNAL reporter saw yesterday at the

handsome set of double harness made to
order for a New York man and valued ~
$3.50. All the work is by hand. The names,
saddle rings, etc., ARE made Of hardened
rubber, gold lined. The leather has the hest
of dull finish and the whole set is beauty.
The best fact the reporter learned was that
owing to the increase In the business Of the
firm it has been found absolutely necessary

been born in Honolulu sixtv-two years ago.
He was graduated from Yale College in
1853. and in 1856 began his laborS on the
Gilbert Island group, which is 2500 miles to
the southwest OF the Sandwich Islands,
being on the line of the equator. Three
years afterward he undertook to reduce to
writing the hitherto uuwritten language of

THE OPEN SWITCH.

Anybody who travels by cars knows what
Is meant by :" an open switch" 1t is the
terror OF railroad men, and the dread of the
traveller Its vlctims-killed. horribly man
gled or manned for life-are numbered by
the score each year.
Yet the dreaded "open switch " is not
SO widely fatal as is a certain disease, which,
without ceaslng its activity for an instant, is
daily filling hundreds of graves.
What Is that terrible ailment2 You ask.
1t is Heart Disease But" you reply, con-
ttidently, 81 haven't any heart disease-p,y
heart is all right" Are Won SURE?
DIR. Franklin Miles, Of Elkhart, Ind, the
distinguished specialist in diseases OF the
heart and nervous system, states that diaor-
ders OF the heart are as common as those Of
the lungs, liver, stomach, bowels or kidneys,
though often unsupported. The reason peo-
pie are not aware of this important fact is
because symptoms Of heart disease are not
USUALLY recognized as proceeding from this
organ, but are attributed to some other
source. If you have shortness of breath,
tutterlng or palpitation, pain or tenderness
IN left breast, shoulder or side, oppressed or
choking sensation, fainting or smothering
spells, yo,ir heart is affected.
81 had been troubled with heart disease
for years. Ny leftp pulse was very weak, could
at times scarcely feel it, excitement would
weaken my nerves and heart, and fear of
impending death stared me in the face for
hours. DR.. Miles, HerHine and Hew Heart

ofany benefit and cured e."-L.M DYER,

VALLEYS OF WOOD
Alameda County in Relief
at the Fair.
A Map That Will Be Made Effective
by Moving Trains and Rum
ming Water.

considerable number OF Interested per
sons dropped IN at "a Ellis street yesterday
to view newly constructed relief map of
Alameda County that is on exhibition pre-
paratory TO being sent TO the Worlds Fair.
The exhibit Is the work of Edward e.
Eitel assisted by w. E. Dermody. Mr.. Eftel
is not an artist by profession. lie is in the
passenger office of the Southern Pacific, but
the present Work is not his first effort in that
direction, as some years ago he executed a
similar map of California, which was sold TO
the railroad com pany.
The dimensions of the map are 2lx25 feet,
ana the whole county stands out clear and
distinct.
In the foreground the Bay of San Fran
cisco Is depicted with its ferry slips ard
ferry steamers. The town OF Oakland
stands out well. and the various railroads
are there in miniature with trains running
here and there, moved by electricity, and
giving an air OF reality to the whole scene.
When the exhibit is set up in the California
building In Chicago it is intended to sink the
bay and fill 1t with real water, and the little
ferry-boats Will ply to and fro, so that no
part Of the desired effect will be lost In
the background the mountains rise solemn
and majestic, while peeping through them
baskng in CLEAN of sunshine the Liver
more Valley is seen lying in all its peaceful
stiffness.
The work cost $4,000 to construct, and
occupied two months of the artists time.
To Attorney w. r. Davis of Oakland is
accredited the honor Of having first hit upon
the idea, while his suggestion has been
promptly acted upon by the Alameda
County Worlds Fair Committee, who OBJ
tanned the necessary appropriation from
the Board of Supervisors and gave orders
for the work to be executed.
Mr.. Davis. NJ. j. Laymance, Colonel
Meyers and other prominent Oaklanders
were there yesterday admiring and occa-
siOnally criticizing the work. Finally
Colonel Meyers made few steps toward
his friend and said: Davis, congratulate
you. Yours was grand idea, and we are
glad to have acted upon it," Whereupon
Davis blushed, and with vain endeayor to
look composed, said that he was glad that
his poor ideas had been SO magnifcently
developed. The work met with general
appreciation.
