expression of disease in its form, it's
condition of dryneSs or moisture, its
codtlngS and colors. Change in form is
expressive of disease. The elongated and
poiuteo tongue indicates a condition of
irritation and determination of blood to
the stomach and bowels and it is safe to
give 1t full weight, and be careful in the
administration of remedies.
AS II is associated with excitdtion of
the nerve centerS, this evidence is Vaiu-
dDle with reference to the stomach and
bowels. If we observe this change of
form at first, we not only anticipate the
unpleasant gastric irritation during the
sickness, but 1t puts us on our guard
against using anything that will irritate
the stomach and bowels The full
tongue, broad and thick, is evidence of
atony want of action in the digestive
tract. Then the stomach will bear cath
artics in mild form without danger. The
dry, pinched tongue expresses a want OF
functional activity in the digestive or
gans. 1t is the tongue of acute disease,
and is usually associated with drynesS.
While 1t is one of the indications for
food. we must be careful in it's selection,
giving small quantities at a time, and in
a warm, liquid form.
The assured tongue in chronic diseases
indicates inflammatory action of the kid
neys, or irritation of the nerve centers.
In many cases we find a wrong in the
secretion of urine. 1t deserve close at
tention and means TO put the skin in
better condition, and allay irritation of
the nerve centers. Dryness and moist
ure are important evidence of the condi-
ton of the digestive organs. If the
tongue is dry, we are sure the stomach
and intestines can do but little digestive
work. 1t is absurd to employ cathartics
in such cases. unless the object is simply
to remove irritating matter. In acute
disease, with dryness of tongue, when we
find it becoming moist. we gre confident
of Improvement, and it is nearly always
looked on as a favorable symptom.
The thin, transparent coating of the
tongue gives evidence of enfeebIed diges-
ton, frequently from Incorporate eating
and drinking. A heavily-loaded tongue
a the base calls attention to accumu-
lations in the stomach, and suggests the
use of an emetic. The broad, pallid
tongue gives evidence of a want of the
alkaline elements of the blood. 1t may
be the basis of the entirety of the dis
ease, which will fade away as soon as
the proper alkali is given, or it may be
but a portion of the wrong, and the al
kaline salt prepares the way and facili-
tates the action of other remedies. The
deep-red tongue, generally dry, indicates
acid. A dirty white or dry gray tongue
means antiseptics. While dryness always
indicates excitement of the nerve centers
and calls for sedatives, too much mois-
ture and relaxation is evidence of the

Southern Pacific Receiver.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3.-The pos
sfbilities for a receivership for the
Southern Pacific company is an infer
ence from the testimony given before
the railroad commissioners by G. l..
Lansing, secretary and controller of
the company, which is fighting a pro-
posed reduction in freight rates. The
statement was guarded with qualify
ing clauses and the possibility was set
tor the remote future.
In the midst of his financial state
ment, Lansing declared that the re-
duction in the net income for 1894
from that of 1898 was 81, 276O0O, and to
this statement was attached the re-
ceivership inference. This reduction,
he declared, was a striking amount
The question arose whether it was not
due to abnormal conditions and
whether there would not be return
to better conditions. But if this should
not follow to some extent, then there
would be critical time for the rail-
road company. OF course the railroad
company could carry its Indebtedness
for some time, but should the present
state Of affairs continue, eventually
reorganization through legal process
would ensue The unsatisfactory con-
dition at present was due to the gem
eral depression in all branches of bust
ness, from which the railroad suffered
in common with all other industries
According to Secretary Lansing, the
total income of the road for the first
six months of this year was $14, 791 ,000
The operating expenses and fixed
charges for the same period was &c.,
267, Goo The secretary, therefore,
stated that there is a deficit for the
first half of the year of $1,476,OOO.

NOT THE MAN HE THOUGHT.

A commercial traveller fell in the
other day with an intelligent passen-
ger in the train, and was so charmed
with his anecdotes that he insisted on
feasting him: and. after sundry bot
ties, became talkative about the shawls
and merinos. Boosting of his COM
mission being worth $500 per annum.
Il am also a traveller" said his COM
panion; but can 1 depend on your
silence?" On which he dropped hint
that his line was robbery, forged bills
and sometimes murder. at which he
earned $4,000 one year with another.
Dumbfounded, our commercial trav-
eler managed to shorten the interview
and make the police acquainted; and
from the station married a posse of POI
licemen to capture the criminal, whom
they found to be well known law

Splain, former members of the fire de-
partment, by their attorneys, MessrS.
Powers, Straup and Lippman, yester-
day made application for a writ OF
mandate to compel the board of police
and fire commissioners to reinstate
them to their former positions in the
fire department.
Chief Justice Merritt issued the writ
returnable on September IL.
The Allegations.
The petitions allege that they were
duly qualified and lawful members OF
the fire department, and that on June
% lbst, they were dismissed without
any charges being made against them
or any cause being assigned for their
dismissal, in violation of chapter 81
of the session laws of 1894 in such case
made and provided.
It is then stated that on June %,
1894, the board illegally discharged j.
]. Clark, William Gilbert, IL. p. Mowers
and C. McMullen, who were. by decree
of the court, restored to their positions
on May %. 1895; that when the four
above named persons were discharged
on June %. 1894 w. H. Bywater,
Charles Moods, James c. Paul and
Amos Morton were Illegally and wrong
fully placed on the force to fill the
places of the discharged men and these
persons have ever since held and now
hold such positions.
Procured An Ordinance.
It is then stated that in order to re-
tain Bywater. Woods, Paul and Nor
ton, friends and appointees of the chief
Of the department after the restoration
of Clark, Gilbert, Mowers and McMul-
len, the board and the chief procured
the city council to pass an ordinance
limiting the men to be employed
in the fire department to twenty-four
instead of tWenty-eight as formerly
and that thereupon the board instead
of removing the men illegally ap-
pointed to fill the supposed and pre-
tended vacancies of Clark, Gilbert,
Mowers and MeMullen. the board dis
charged the petitioners and two others.
Frank Burt and Thomas WEIGH. all
qualified efficient. and worthy members
Of the force. and who were on the force
long before the passage of the law
known as the police and fire bill.
Merely Il Subterfuge.
The petitioners further aver that i'm
mediately upon the discharge and re-
moval of the petitioners and Burt and
WEIGH certain other persons, to wit,
Ben COlson, Reuben Simpson and
placed on the force by the board and
the chief, who filled and took the posi-
tons made vacant by the removal of
the petitioners and Burt and Welch,
which said persons last appointed, ever
since and now are on the force, and
that the removal of the petitioners for
the purpose of reducing the men on the
force was a mere pretense and sub
terfuge, and was done in violation of
the law and the spirit and intent of the
police and fire bill.
The petitioners further say that
since their illegal discharge they have
been denied their salaries and the
benefits of their positions; that they
possess all the qualifications for the
| performance of the duties of firemen,
and that they have applied to the
| board to be restored to their positions,
but the board has refused and still re-
fuses to put them back, and that the
| petitioners have no other remedy but
! by a writ of mandate from the court

RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS.
Executive Committee Holds an In
teresting Session.


teresting Session.
CHICAGO, Sept 3.-The executive
committee of the United States Rail
way Mail Clerks association was IN
session here last night. The principal
discussion was on the demand which
the mail clerks who have runs on the
smaller lines and who are paid by the
mile, have made. There are some
$500 of these clerks. The government
has agreed to pay them on the basis of
120 miles per days run, but the clerks
have insisted that 10 miles should be
enough for that purpose.
The committee took action favorable
to the demand of the clerks.
There was much discussion upon the
question of a general re-classification
of all clerks. Upon this subject har-
monious conclusion was reached, but
what the conclusion was the clerks re-
fused to make public.

Some Recommendations as to Sale
of Ore and Other Things-hepa pairs

Receiver C. P. Mason of the Salt
Lake Copper Manufacturing company
Yesterday filed his first report IN the
Third district court. 1t comprises
forty-eight pages of typewriter mat
fer. and is complete list of all the
property of the company, including
every particle of machinery and the
utensils at the big factory, also a de-
tailed description of the buildings,
with their measurements and minute
details of everything on the premises.
There is also an inventory OF the COM
pany's mines in Box Elder county, the
quantity of ore in sight and the ma
chinery at the mines.
The inventory is most complete
one and Mr.. Mason has been compli-
mented on the thorough manner in
which he has done the work. There
are no values attached to anything, as
this is simply a preliminary report,
and no suggestions as to the disposal
of the plant, property or machinery
The machinery and the buildings are
in good condition and everything
seems to be well conceived.
The receiver recommends that he be
authorized to make certain repairs to
the roofs and other parts of the build
ing so as to keep things from being
damaged by the storms of winter.
There is quantity of ore at the
mines which is laying on other peo-

that he be authorized to advertise for

that he be authorized to defend the
