avalanche Of Snow, Rocks and Trees ON
the California and Oregon.
SAN Francisco, Jan. "a. There is al
complete blockade of the California and
Oregon railroad at Upper Soda Springs,
CAL, above Dnnsmuir. The great ava
lanche Of snow, rocks and trees which
came down at that point ON Monday
were supplemented by another big slide
Tuesday and Superintendent Fillmore
says it will take 4S hours at least and
possibly . longer period TO get the
Shasta route cleared.
No passenger was sent north. In It's
place force of 100 additional men was
dispatched from Oakland to aid the 400
or more already ON the scene Of the cata-
clysm. They took with them two of
the largest hydraulic pumps Of the Mon
arch pattern, which will be placed at
work at once on arrival The Sacra-
mento goes rushing past and its waters
will be utilized by the great rams to cut
away the immense amount of earth and
rocks there The slide OF Monday ex-
tended a distance Of 1,0O0 feet, and the
mass of debris is piled up to depth of
"a feet. At the same time the Sacra-
mento was damned upby the falling
material to depth of go feet.
A Second Slide.
1t was herculean work for the force
of men to clear away the mountain OF
obstructions. They set about it with d
will, however. and kept up their efforts
until noon, when another immense
quantity of earth and debris came down
on the rails from the hillside, 400 feet
above, and obliterated all the work that
had been done. Fortunately the men
were at dinner at the time, or death
would probably have been their fate.
AS it was the situation was considered
50 desperate that report OF. the condi-
tion of affairs was telegraphed to Super
intendent Fillmore, with q pressing de-
mand for aid. The result was that more
men were ordered TO the scene. The
company is apprehensive of other slides,
and the situation is critical.

SECOND SUMMER
Most Critical Year in the
Babys Existence
At No Time So Liable to Sud
den Intestinal Disorders.
The Earliest Victims to
Cholera lnfantum.
ExtraordinaryCare With Baby'S
Food Essential.

WEAVING baby in summer is attended
with peril when heat and improper feeding
conspire to derange the sensitive stomach.
As warm weather comes on children re-
qure the most wholesome nourishiug and
palatable diet possible, and lactated food
should be in the hands of every mother.
Sudden changes of the atmosphere are
dangerous above all things toinfants whose
digestive apparatus is ont of order and the
use of lactated food is especially to be
commended because of its corrective in-
fiuence in cases of irritability of the
stomach.
Then, too, the mother who has tried hard
to nurse her child, but growing weak and
losing her own appetite until she is nearly
worn out, and finds now that she must
wean her infant while the days and nights
are growing hotter and more and more
debilitating can do so, as thousands of
mothers have done before upon lactated
food.
The infant will take it and grow strong
and happy upon it. The composition of
lactated food is simply this: It's basis is
sugar VI ullh WlJu IL Is COuDlueu lue
digestive element of wheat, barley and
oats, producing pure food which meets
every requirement of the growing child.
There is no secret about it. 1t is the food
physicians use in their own families and
most generally prescribe.
Thousands Of mothers have testified to
the fact that lactated food has done what
nothing else could do-saved the lives of
their little ones.
No better evidence can be offered of its
superiority than the many instances in
which fretful, peevish and sleepless babies,
as soon as put on lactated food, sleep all
night and wake up laughing. The happy
change, physicians say, is solely due to the
superior nourishing and satisfying qualities
of this best of food.
1t must be borne in Lmind that lactated
ood is so inexpensive that it is within the
reach of every family.

The Governments Finanoier Renews Hii
Onslaught on Free silver.
LOUISVILLE, June 15-The large per.
sonal following of Secretary Carlisle in
this city, and the keen interest felt by all
classes in the currency question, filled
Music Hall last evening with such crowd
as Louisville never before saw congregated
on similar occasion. For some time il
had been recognized that this occasion
would be something out of the ordinary,
and nearly all the Democratic candidates
were present
Promptly at o'clock Mr. Carlisle came,
and was presented by Charles h. Long,
His reception should have satisfied the
most expectant. When the tremendous
applause subsidized Mr. Carlisle waded i'm.
mediately into his sub ject
Mr.. Carlisle repeated his argument that
the valued metal would be driven out
of the country by the adoption of bime.
tallic system, and at some length paid at.
tention to the claims that the fall in price
of silver was due to its demonstration.
He said:
1T is insisted, it is claimed. that the
fall in silver is attributable to the legisla.
ton in Germany, the United States,
France and various other countries dur
ing ana since the year 1873, and most IL
logically it is insisted that notwithstand-
ing the reduced price Of that metal, the re
suit of the unfriendly action of great
many governments acting in concert and
with settled purpose, the United States
alone can restore the value of silver. OF
course. if 1t requires the action of twelve
or thirteen different governments to bring
the price of silver to its present state, it
would seem quite clear that no one of
them alone could restore it.
THE fall in the price of silver was not
due to the legislation complained of, but
to an enormous over production. Not
withstanding the fall in silver, silver min
ing continues TO be a most profitable in
dustry. While the farmers and other pro-
ducers are struggling to live comfortably
and meet their obligations owners of sill
yer mines have accumulated enormous
fortunes"

THE KELLEY GOLD CURE.
Some of the Secrets Revealed by One
who Understands 1t.


PITTsBURG, June 15-In the taking of
testimony to secure the pardon of Daniel
Werling, the wife murderer, on the
ground that he was insane when he com
mitted the crime, from the fact that he
had taken the Kelley cure, DR. D. K.
Wiles, who for two years was in charge of
the Pittsburg Kelley institute, for the
first time gave out this much of the for
mula of the celebrated gold cure:
He said the treatment consisted first of
internal treatment of simple tonics, of
which cinchona was the principal ingre-
dent. The second part of the treatment
consisted of the hypodermic injection of
what is known as the red mixture. This,
he said, was composed of a portion of
theme, eight to ten drops of hyoscamine
and solution of pilocarpine lone grain to
the drachm), with morphia to suit the con-
dition of the patient. The doctor said the
pilocarpine was a strong relaxant. and
that the other drugs caused rush of blood
that was particularly dangerous to men
who suffered from fatty degeneration of
the heart. He said he believed Werling
was insane when he was discharged from
the hospital
Governor Hastings has already granted
two reprieves to Werling on the ground
of insanity, caused by the treatment OF
the Kelley cure.
