The Causes Which Go to Make Up
Many of the Ills Of Humankind.
These Causes Should Be Avoided.
How and When.

Neglect kills more people than all the con-
tagious diseases combined" so safd the doctor
to me yesterday "Why DOCTOR that seems a
very broad assertion" eyes, it is broad asser-
tion, and it is a truthfully broad one. Look
you, man is suffering from rheumatism. Let
US trace the disease, let us see how he could
have contracted rheumatism. Now, we all
know rheumatism does not fly about from one
person to another. No, sir, it is developed,

from rheumatism may have contracted cold
Why did he take cold? You and I sit in the
same theater; there is a small draught. You
take cold, don't. Why? My blood is in good
condition. 1t cireulates freely. My stomach
is in fine shape and digests correctly. My
bowels move regularly. Now, it may just
happen that you have eaten too much food. You
don't digest well; you allow the lower bowel
to become clogged. Moderate constipation en-
sues. You do not notice it. What is the re-
suit? An impoverished blood supply. cold
produces disordered kidney, which termin-
ates in the making more uric acid in the
blood than is good for the body. Rheumatism
is development Sometimes you carry that
rheumatic trouble throughout your life
'tevery man and woman would check would
correct themselves, there would be small use
for doctors. Doctors are used because people
are careless. If you find your blood is in bad
condition. if you find yourself predsposed to
colds use blood laxative; there are enough of
them. The best-yes, use the best California
produces. Use joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla.

by the use of joys Vegetable Sarsa parilla. I
am positive this remedy contains no mercury,
no iodides nothing but herbs. Herbs are
really the best remedies for small ills. Herbs
will ward off, stave off, keep off, many of the
more dangerous diseases.

This is certainly fine California remedy.
"People are indeed too careless about their
health. People will eat everything on the

must expect to be sick. If you take care of the
small ills nature viii take care of you"

SUES SECRETARY HERBERT
Commander QuackenbuSh
Wants to Be Retired as
a Commodore.
Being Suspended for Six Years His
Name Was Dropped From
the Register.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 21.-A suit
of peculiar interest, especially to naval
officers, was to-day filed in the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia by Attor-
ney Beall of Washington. 1t is a writ of
mandamus against Secretary Herbert to
compel him to restore to the naval register
the name of John M. Quackenbush, well
known in California.
In his report the petitioner "humbly
showeth" that he has been for many years
resident of the District of Columbia; that
certain Hilary A. Herbert is Secretary of
the Navy for the United States of America;
that in 1871 President Grant commissioned
Quackenbush commander in said navy
and he was confirmed by the Senate; that
in 1874 he was tried by court-martial for
inebriety and dismissed, but his sentence
was afterward commuted by President
Grant to furlough for six years; that this
sentence expired in 1880, when his name
again appeared on the naval register, and
he was placed on waiting orders and was
considered to be in the naval service until
1888; that in 1884 the President sent to the
Senate the name of W. s. Schley to be
commander in the navy, but through mad
vertence or fraud of the Senate clerk, the
nomination was made to read, ''vice
Quackenbush, dismissed" when, in fact,
he had not been dismissed, but only
suspended for term of six years; that
when Chandler became Secretary of the
Navy he ordered the name of Quacken-
bush to be dropped from the naval rolls as
he had been superseded by Schley as COM
mander.
The petitioner "further humbly show
eth" that his name has not been thus un-
lawfully dropped from rank as a commo-
dore, and that, being 81 years old, he
would on the 30th day of this month be
entitled to retire with the rank and pay of
a retired commodore. He therefore asks
mandate of the court to Secretary Her
bert, compelling him to restore his name
and to allow him back pay aggregating
SAC, 900. A bill for the relief of Quacken-
bush has been favorably reported several
times in Congress- and passed both houses
of one Congress, but through neglect of
the President was not signed.

ATTACKED A YOUNG GIRL
RanCher CarVer'S Daughter
AsSaiIed While on Her Way
to School.
BLooDHoUNDs ON THE TRAIL
Posses Are Securing the Country In
Search for the Brutal
Ruffian.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, May 21-Posses are
securing the country in search of fiend
who yesterday morning made a brutal at
tack on pretty Ruby Carver, the 15-year-
old daughter of H. B. Carver, rancher,
living near Buena. Bloodhounds have
been sent for to aid in the search, and
there are angry mutterings of intended
violence if the pursuit is successful.
Miss Carver was on her way to school,
and had reached lonely place in the road
where dark canyon branched out near
the Hill ranch, when a man sprang out
from behind rock and grasped her. He
wore sack over his head, which COM
pletely hid his features. He first asked
her to go into the canyon, and when she
refused and cried for help he struck he1
and tried to drag her out of the road
toward the canyon. The girl is quite
strong and fought hard, at the same time
screaming at the top of her voice.
The ruffian threatened to kill her If she
did not keep still, but the plucky girl
fought every inch and kept screaming,
finally attracting the attention of two men
working on the Hill ranch. They ran to
her assistance and the brutal assailanu fed
into the brush and escaped.
The girl fell exhausted. and, instead OF
giving chase to the miscreant, the men
attended to her, taking her to the school,
where the news she gave terrorized teacher
and pupils, who huddled together till dusk
and then went home in body.
The girls father did not hear of the
assault until night, when he hastily organ
lied posse, which has been securing the
country without finding a trace of the girl s
assailant. The search was kept up all day
to-day, and the posse is determined to
lynch the man if caught. In the mean
time telegram was sent to San Bernar-
dino for bloodhounds, and upon their
arrival they will be put on the trail. Ex-
citement is at fever heat, and it is feared
the pursuers will make short work of the
unknown if the dogs track him down.

JOHN SHERMAN'S IDEAS.
CleverIy Stolen by the Clever
Statesman From Ken
lucky.
EVIDENCE OF DISHONESTY.
Some Rather Pointed Remarks
Relating to the Noted "Gold"
Speech.

COLUMBUS, ONO May 21.--Allen W.
Thurman Jr., chairman of the Democratic
State Committee, on being asked to-day
what he thought of Secretary Carlisle s
speech said:
ITO all those who are conversant with
the history Of the subject it is simply
laughable to think that the great Secretary
of the Treasury, in defense OF the admin
istration and sound money, has been COM
PEELED simply to make the same speech
that has been made by the Hon. John
Sherman each year for the last twenty
years. 1t is almost a dead copy and has
been answered over and over again until
the people are weary of it.
"The same dishonesty pervades it as
does the copy from which it is taken, but
in the case of Mr.. Carlisle it is worse, be-
cause he pretends to be Democrat, and
then states that Democratic Senators, and
among them my father, voted for the act
of 1873 He is trying to create the impress
sion all the while by his statement that
they did this with the full knowledge of
what the bill contained, when he knew
that every one of these Senators and Rep
resentatives Gncluding the grand old Beck
from his own State, by whom he now tries
by Misrepresentation to help bolster up
his own traitorous position), denied, in
open Senate, that they had any knowledge
of what he tried in this speech by the fraud
to make people believe they did. As for
instance, Judge Thurman said:
~ cannot say what took place in the
House, but l know when the bill was pend
ing in the Senate we thought it was simply
a bill to reform the mint, regulate coinage
and fix up one thing and another, and
there was not a single man in the Senate,
unless member of the committee from
which the bill came, who had the slightest
idea that it was even a squint toward
characterization
Senator Beck said: 1T (the bill de-
monetizing silver) never was understood
by either House of Congress. say that
with the full knowledge of the facts
Nearly every member OF the Senate and
House made similar statements. Why did
not Carlisle tell the whole truth? Can
people believe such man honest?"
''Do you think the speech will do the
silver cause any harm?"
''Well, as / said before, Senator Sher-
man has been making it for twenty years
and the silver cause does not seem to be
growing any less and more, suppose
that Senator Sherman will make the same
old speech at the Republican convention
next week"
Ex-senator Thurman is quite i'll at pres
ent and unable to keep up with the silver
question which he and his son discussed
for years together and on which they fully
agree.

OREGON REPUBLICAN, CLUES.

Plans for the Rig Convention to Be Held
at Portland.
PORTLAND, Or, May 21.-The meeting
OF the State League of Republican Clubs
tomorrow will be the biggest political
convention ever held in this city. About
700 delegates will be present.
The silver question will figure quite
prominently and there is movement on
foot for the free silver people to capture
the convention and declare in favor of the
free coinage of silver at the ratio OF 16 to 1.
1t is thought that it will not be successful,
as there seems to be on the surface a
majority of sentiment in favor of taking
no stand on either side of the coinage
question.
The silver men caucused tonight and
agreed upon their delegates to the Ma
tional convention at Cleveland, and also
on the form of the resolution declaring for
free coinage, which they will bring before
the convention.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, May 21.-The British
gunboat Wild Swan arrived at this port to-
day, having sailed from Corinto on May 5.
She will take on coal here and clear Satur-
day for Esquimalt. One of the officers
denied the report that Admiral Stephen
son had stated that the reason for occupy
ing Corinto was to test the Monroe doc
trine, and positively asserted that the
United States Government was working in
harmony with Great Britain throughout
the entire matter.
He stated that England and Gresham
were kept informed by Admiral Stephen
son of every move before and after the oc-
cupation, and that the dispatches giving
this information both to the English and
American governments were carried by
the Wild Swan from Corinto to San Juan
del Sur. No attention was paid to the
reports that an American fleet was on the
way down the coast, as they had been pre-
viously informed that the Monterey
would not stop at Corinto, but was bound
for Caliao
