ONE OFTHE PRETTY YOUNG MISSES
of Bakersfield is Miss Edna Lisson.
The above portrait gives but partial view
of this beautiful girl. Her mother, Mrs.
A. Lisson, vouches for the following:
About two years ago Edna was suffering
from eruptions of the skin. Her face, her
hands, her body were at times all COM
pletely covered with blotches of small
plmples. Many were the remedies tried to
no avail. All kinds of soaps, ointments
and doctors prescriptions availed not.
About this time joys Vegetable Sarsa-
parilla was recommended. The first bot
tie was used and the only change for the
better was the regularity of the bowels and
the bright clearness of the eyes. After the
second bottle Edna began to get well.
She not only became strong and hearty,
but all the facial blemishes disappeared,
and is now the beautiful young lady you
see before you.
L ais story is not colored just to boom
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla. The above
story is about the mildest way of telling
the actual facus concerning the blood
remedy, joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla.
Doctors have often been puzzled and ''give
it up''-about joys. 1t is peculiar herb
remedy. 1t contains no mineral poisons
1t is made entirely of herbs. The only
people who speak against the remedy are
the druggists who have "a BETTER
PROFIT" sarsaparilla. When you want
good blood medicine that produces no
pimples take joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla.

Ruralists Had a Lively Battle
With Two Hundred At.
tacheS of the Show.
Citizens Helped the Police, but They
Were Defeated in the En-.
counter.

HUTCHINSON. KANs., April 21.-Par.
ticulars of yesterdays riots at st. John
Kans., were learned to-day. Bond Bros.
circus was exhibiting there, and a number
of ''grafters'' attached to the show were
running their gambling devices. A fight
ensued, and over 200 employees and roust-
abouts attacked the ruralists. Police
officers attempted to arrest one of the cir.
Gus men, and when the show people re-
fused to give him up citizens offered their
assistance to the officers.
A bloody riot followed between the citi-
zens and the circus gang, and the latter
armed with canes, guns and tentstakes,
won the battle.
Charles Glasscock, citizen of st. John.
was struck on the head with tent stake
and will die. Jack Hedges, a mem ber oi
the circus, whose home is here, was badly
injured. Another circus man was shot in
the hip and several citizens were more OF
less injured.

ments of Corinne and the grace and
beauty of Henrietta Temple. Before s
o'clock the great pavilion was mass of
interested humanity, and splendid COM
pany OF people it was. Youth, beauty and
grace made up the throng.
At S:15 o'clock Roncovieri's American
Concert band played an overture. A
herald's bugle announced the presence of
the Queen at the entrance to the pavilion.
The Queens lancers filed in and down the
middle aisle, and then taking opposite
sides formed with their lances continu-
Gus archway from the entrance to the foot
of the throne. At the second call her
Majesty appeared on the arm of her Prime
Minister, Hon. E. 4. Gibbon. The ap-
plause which greeted her progress to the
throne was tumultuous, genuine and
hearty. Rising above the plaudits were
heard the sweet strains of Roncovieri's
Inaugural March," which the composer
dedicated to John f. Francis, president
of La Fiesta.
The ladies of the court fled in, courtesied
to their Queen and took seats on the plat
form. Hon. r. F. Del Vale, the orator of
the evening, delivered his address to the
Queen in choicest English and manner
pleasing. The progress in the arts, sciences
and literature which had characterized her
loyal subjects during the past year were
dwelt upon. The wonderful achievem ents
of the Goddesses Pomona, Ceres and Flora
were extolled. and at the close of Mr.. Del
Valles address Mayor RAIDER of Los
Angeles extended hearty greetings to his
successor. He told the charming Queen
= e
he was glad of an opportunity to surrender
the weighty responsibilities for a season
into her hands, and he rendered to her
Majesty the great silver key to the city.
At this the royal looters and merry
makers offered their trophies to the Queen,
being designated in turn by Henry Dock
weller. Some of these tributes were gro
tesque and comical in the extreme and
produced outbursts of laughter from the
audience.
A well-considered response was made
on behalf of the Queen by Prime Minister
Gibhon, who thereafter read the royal
proclamation of his sovereign. Three SUBJ
jects-John F. Francis Hon. T. s. c. Lowe
and w. c. Patterson-were designated by
their ruler as worthy of the order OF
knlghthood. Messrs. Francis and Lowe
were found in the audience, led forward
and duly knighted and decorated with the
insignia of their position.
Roncovieri's band gave an illustrated
concert, beginning with the overture to
"William TeiP' by Rossini. AS the sweet
strains of music arose, panoramas repro
ducing scenes in the life of Tell were
thrown upon canvas. These changing
and dissolving views, as well as those
which followed in the descriptive nautical
piece, 1.-The American Sailors Life at
Sea-" by Miller; the symphonic poem
'tThe Dance of DEATH" the American
PATROL and the "Blue and the GRAY, I"
were extremely realistic.

THREE RIVERS, QUEBEC, April d.
The water in the st. Lawrence has risen
two feet since yesterday and is now higher
than during the great flood of 1866, the
highest on record here. An immense loss
has been sustained by farmers near this
city. Three .hurdred homeless families
are being lodged by the city. The water
works and electric light stations are
flooded and the city is without either
water or light supply.
At Lake St. Peter ice passing down this
afternoon swept the wharves and river
front clean of all buildings, including the
Richelieu and Ontario Navigation Com
pany's frei htsheds and offices and the
Canadian Pacific freightsheds. People
fed from their homes in terror. Thirty
two buildings have so far succumbed to
the food.
Over 1000 logs belonging to the ST.
Maurice Lumber Company broke their
boom at Batiscan to-day and were carried
away, taking with them Marsicotte's
bridge, 800 feet long.

Brilliant Decorations of the Streets
and Business Blocks.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, April 21.-The
Los Angeles business man has sustained
himself. He has done more than this
he has added new laurels to his al
ready well-earned reputation for cour-
age, iberalty and goaheaditiveness. He
knew that much of the attractiveness and
pleasure of these days of merry-making
would result from liberal display of busi-
ness-house decorations, and to realize a
thing with the average Los Angeles busi-
ness man is reason enough for action. He
goes about his self-appointed task zeal
ousiy, but cheerfully. The pluck of the
Los Angeles business man of the present
day has never been known to wane.
Through good or evil report; whether
menaced by boom and encouraged bv
steady growth to his town and gradual ac-
cretion to his business; in slow, dull
times; in hours of disappointment and
short returns-in fact, at all times the Los
Angeles business man has kept his courage
to the sticking point and has never for a
moment permitted himself to distrust the
future of his own city.
The Los Angeles business man has
turned the entire business portion of his
city into one grand array of tri-
coiors. The streets are beautifully
arched and arrayed in fiesta-colored
bunting. Almost every wire which spans
the principal streets is laden with the car.
dinal, gold and green in some more or less
attractive forms, but the unique, pretty
and elaborate emblematic forms are dis
played from the great blocks of brick and
stone which abound along the principal
thoroughfares of the city. Broadway, that
modern wonder of all those who knew Los
Angeles in its "boom days." contains the
most elaborate and extensive business
house decorations; then Spring and Main
streets.
To begin with, the newspaper buildings
are profusely ornamented with bunting

ON THE VERGE OF A CRISIS
Premier Bourgeois and His Cab
met May Yet Have to
Retire.
Denounced by the Senate for Rem ain
ing in Office in Violation of the
Constitution.

PARIS, FRANCE, April N.-In the Senate
to-day M. Demoule made an attack upon
the Cabinet and denounced their remain
ing in power after having been defeated in
the Senate as violation of the constitu-
ton. The Senate, he said, was willing to
vote the Madagascar credits only to con-
stitutional Ministry. He therefore pro-
posed that the Senate adjourn until a
Ministry should come before it which
possessed the confidence Of both houses of
the French Parliament. Premier Bour-
geois protested against such action. 1t
was not the Senate's prerogative, he de-
clared, thus to judge the Ministry, a right
which belonged to the National Congress
alone.
The Senate, by vote of III to 80,
adopted motion to defer discussion of
the Madagascar credits until new Min
istry should be formed. The Ministers
left the Senate chamber when the vote on
the motion was announced and assem- bled
at the Foreign Office to discuss the situa.
ton.
Tne Radical Senators and Deputies
visited M. Bourgeois and his colleagues
and urged them to continue III the strug-
gle. Later the Ministers went to the Pal.
ace OF the Elysee 10 consult President
Faure. 1t is believed they decided not to
resign, but to convoke the Chamber oi
Deputies and demand revision of the
constitution. presumably in the direction
OF withdrawing the Cabinet from direct
responsibility to the Chamber.
1t was officially announced this evening
that the Ministry. in view of the Senate's
attitude in barring the expenditure neces-
sary to maintain the troops in Madagascar
had decided to resign, but were unwilling
to abandon Office before explaining to the
Chamber of Deputies the facts of the stu.
alton.
Subsequently NJ Bourgeois informed
President Faure of the result of the confer
ence and afterward conferred with M.
Br1sson. president of the Chamber oi
Deputies, who then summoned that body
to meet on Thursday. The Chamber ad-
journed on April 1, not intending to meet
again until May 19.

THIS YEARS sun SPOTS.

The small group of sun spots which
first became visible on September 8 on
the western limb gradually increased I'M
til they came completely into view about
September 13, when they were seen to
extend in long, straight stream, the
spots in some parts being so close to-
gether as almost to form single rift in
the solar surface. AS seen on September
16 the group extended over some 10000
miles, with breadth of about $4,000
miles. and it took two complete days for
the long procession to pass by. The
principal axis of the group was inclined
at an angle of about fifteen degrees to
the suns equator; in the afterpart of the
group a decided tendency to segregation
was noticeable, and by the 10Th deep.
dark nuclear spot had formed at the head
of the group, and second large spot
with dark double nucleus about one-third
of the way down the group. Although
this is one of the longest continuous
streams of sun spots which have been
observed, the phenomenon was not at
tended with great magnetic disturbances,
but Just before the last spots crossed the
meridian there was n distinct disturb
ance, and aurora borealis displays were
noted in some parts of the country.-Lon-

LIQUOR FROM GAS BURNERS.

Device of Portland. Me-, Hotel for
EvadIng the Prohibition Law.
Everybody who visits Maine has a
different story to tell ON his return of
his experience in getting drinks, says
the New York Sun. The champion
story is, perhaps, told by a well-known
travelling salesman. He says that when
he asked for drink at a Portland hotel,
he was shown into room, which had
nothing in it but table, on which were
pitcher of water and several tumblers,
and few chairs.
Over the table was chandelier, with
apparently half dozen gas burners.
When the cocks were turned, however,
not gas, but liquor came out Of the
burners, which were horizontal, on the
tips being unscrewed. From one burner
came whisky; from another, rum; from
another, gin. Each burners supply pipe
connected with a casS of some one of
these liquors in the room above.
The man who tells this story says that
the indictment papers against the hotel
in question for selling liquor would gil
n bushel basket, but none of them will
ever be brought TO trial; at least, none
has been yet. Since adopting this de-
vice. the hotel he's ID detection.

THE SANTA FEE RECEIvERsHIP.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. Gin reference to
the appointment of a receiver for the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway,
A. A. Hurd, solicitor for Kansas of the
Santa Fe system, in an interview said:
"The commencement of the suit is no
surprise to us, although the fact that a
receiver was appointed by Judge Myers
without notice to any party in interest is
a surprise Although this suit is brought
ostensibly in the name of the state of
Kansas under what is known as the alien
land law, passed in 1891, it is really for
the purpose of forcing the payment of a
private claim" The receivership only
affects property of the road in Kansas.

THE POLITICAL COMPLICATION
OF THE NEXT NATIONAL
SENATE.
REPUBLICANS IRE IN The MAJORITY
Speculation as to the Probabilities of the
Tariff Question Thus Early in the
Action-Other Matters From the
National Capital

Washington, Nov. 6.-The next senate
it is believed, will stand: Republicans
A; democrats, 33; populists and indepen-
dents, 10.
This table takes all states out of the
doubtful column, placing Kentucky and
North Carolina in the republican column,
as Senator Butler said today that free
silver republican probably would be re-
turned by the fusionists; Delaware in the
democratic column and Kansas and
South Dakota in the independent and
populist column. This will prevent the
republicans from taking control of the
senate unless some of those who bolted
the republican platform at ST. Louis
should be returned. 1t is difficult to es-
innate the exact standing OF the next
senate on the money question, owing to
the new alignment of parties in the re-
cent campaign. Men who have been pro-
nounced gold men have supported the
democratic platform and candidates.
Perkins of California, Shoup of Idaho,
Carter of Montana, Mitchell of Oregon,
Wilson of Washington and Clark and
Warren of Wyoming have all voted for
what course they will now take in the
senate is altogether problematic. Among
the democrats, German of Indiana. Smith
of New Jersey, Murphy of New York,
Faulkner of West Virginia and Mitchell
of Wisconsin all have voted against sill
yer, and yet supported the democratic
party in this campaign. As no free coin
age bill possibly could pass the house,
this fact would influence votes in the
senate on the silver question, simply in
the shape of rider to the tariff bill.
The probability is that on free coinage
amendment to a tariff bill all of the for
ty-four republicans would vote against
it and possibly some democrats. such as
Caffery of Louisiana, Gray of Delaware
and Linsay of Kentucky, who bolted the
Chicago platform, and perhaps even some
of those who supported Bryan during
the campaign. 1t is also not unlikely
that some of the republican senators who
bOlted the republican platform might take
Il position which would permit tariff
bill in which their constituents are large
ly interested, because of wool, lumber
and lead ores, to become law.
Senator Faulkner of West Virginia
said today that silver men, by standing
solidly with the democrats, could prevent
tariff legislation. ...
Senator Butler, on the other hand. said
he and other populists would support the
right kind of tariff bill but not Il measure
like the Mckinley bill.
Mr.. Butler wants adequate protection
on raw materials.
