ASSESSMENT REFORM.

llarper's Weekly publishes a table Of
ihe assessed valuation Of the states and
territories In which Idaho figures at
The foot Of the list. According to those
figures there is less wealth In this state
than In any other state or territory In
the Union.

low as possible and the returns do not
average over one third the value OF the
property though the law requires that

Every citizen must see that IL is a
bad thing for the state To be- represented
as being 80 poor The value OF the
property In any state Is always deter

The San Francisco call., 1896-01-15

To combat this growing evil, Prof. Ed
ward e. Phelps, MD, LID, of Dart
mouth College, made nervous diseases his
special study. The fruitful outcome of his
long years of professional investigation
was Paine's celery compound. Difficult
nervous disorders that had persisted
despite long treatment yielded to it. Men
and women vino had suffered for years
from broken and unrefreshing sleep, from
headaches, rheumatism and neuralgia,
found that Paine's celery compound not
only speedily cured these troubles, but
that they worked better and felt more en-
couraged than had been possible to them
for years.
AS practical instance of what this re-
markable remedy is doing all over the
country, the following from DR.. VIM. A.
Smith, one of the best-known divines in
Southern New England, deserves careful
| reading. DR.. Smith is to-day Sc years of
age, yet enjoys better health than ever in
his life ana never loses a single good
nights sleep. He writes:
GROTON, Conn.
"Dear Sirs-In my early days, by great
and prolonged mental suffering, I broke
down in health and became a dyspeptic
being obliged at one time to give up my
work in the ministry on account of i'll
health. am now S6 years of age, and
during my long life have suffered greatly
from dyspepsia, torpid liver, constipation
and insomnia, at times thinking that l
should die for want of balmy sleep, and it
is wonder to me that l am alive to-day
with all that have been through. I am
wonder to myself and to those who witness
my habits and know my age. I tell them
that try to obey the laws of nature and
that take Paine's celery compound when
ever need it.
"By the use of several bottles of Paine's
celery compound 1 have so far recovered
my health as to consider myself we'll man
for my age. 1t regulates the liver, stomach
and bowels without any question. NV
appetite is now good, my sleep is refresh
ing, my liver active and bowels regular
and my crutches not needed, as can walk
without staff. People are surprised at
my improved appearance and activity.
Gratefully yours, WIN. A. SMITH"
Paine's celery compound does not stop
It's restoring work till new, healthy tissues
have taken the place of the old, shattered
portions. There is not the deepest, most
minute portion of the body, whether it be
nerve or brain, or some vital organ, that
escapes the rejuvenating, strengthening
power of Paine's celery compound. In
cases of severe neuralgia, rheumatism,
heart palpitations, dyspepsia and nervous
feebler ess, Paine's celery compound is the
only remedy that goes to the root of the
trouble, fortifies the weakened system
AGAINST these disorders and builds up a
strong, healthy body.

Earl Cochran won one race and lost an
other by coming through next the rail in
the stretch. In the second event he man
aged to squeeze through between George
Miller and the fence, and won, but when
he attempted the trick again in the follow

Alvarado and Highland the Only Win.
ming Favorites = Major Cook
Upset Two Good Things.


With the wedding out of the downtown
pool-selllng joints noticeable increase is
apparent at the racetrack. Although the
weather was threatening yesterday big
crowd filed the betting-ring at Ingleside
and speculation on the different events
was very brisk.
The first choices did not navigate
through the muddy going with the same
degree of success as on the day preceding,
tor out of six favorites sent to the post
Alvarado and Realization proved the only
winners.
One of the hardest reverses suffered
during the day by the talent was on the
two-mlle handicap hurdle race with five
starters. Cicero was backed for good
thing, barrel of coin going in on him at
odds OF 8 to s. Colonel Weightman,
although receding in the betting from 8 to
5 to threes, was well supported. April at
fours and Mestor with 4 and 5 to l about
him also had many friends. Adelante was
the outsider.
At the first Jump Colonel Weightman
fell after alighting on the other side of the
hurdle, and Cicero, who took Jump just
after him, fell over the Colonel. With
these two out of the way. April and Mestor
had it all their own way. April led for
mile and half, when Mestor passed him.

From childhood to old age health is very

No one can digest well, work well, feel

possible for any brain to keep on providing
nervous energy unless the nights are de-
voted to nourishIng its used-up parts.
Protracted sleeplessness, where no effort is
made to feed and calm the irritable nerv-
Gus system, ends in nervous prostration
and insanity.

AMONG THE WHEELMEN.
Shaefer and Wells Have Gone South
Olympic WheeImen's Election.

Charles S. Wells and his trainer, Dave
Shaefer returned to San Diego last night
after three days stay here. They will
continue their efforts against the world S
records on the mile horse track there.
Shaefer's principal object in coming here
was to secure Otto Ziegler Jr. for his team.
ziegler was willing to sign con tract, but
does not want to go into training immedi-
ately. All other details were satisfactory.
He feels the need of rest now. after his
long season on the Eastern circuit. He
will probably ride on Shaefer's team, how
ever, in 1896, and may have Tom Cooper,
Charles S. Wells and w. A. Terrill as his
team mates.
The Bay City Wheelmen do not care to
join the Interclub Baseball League now
being proposed. President Kerrigan says
that it would dissipate the energies of the
members toward racing, and as they are
deslrous OF winning the annual relay he
does not feel that the members should
have anything to detract their attention
from it. The club is strictly bicycle club
and will leave baseball to others.
The San Jose Road Club will hold a
smoker next Saturday night and ten-mile
straightaway road race the following day
on the Monterey road. The members are
being trained for the relay.
The Bay City Wheelmen will hold pro-
gressive euchre party at the clubrooms
next Saturday evening, together with an
impromptu musical entertainment and
smoker.
The Olympic Club Wheelmen last even
ing elected the following officers: Charles
A. Adams, president; Charles ]. leighton,
vice-president; Horace V. Scott, secretary
George ii. Stratton, treasurer; w. B. Faw-
cett, capain; f. w. Fuller, J. f. McGlynn,
Thomas Spillane, executive committee.
The wheelmen will attend the Olympic
Clubs benefit next Monday night in q
body.
1t will come as a great surprise to the
cyclists and dealers of this City to learn
that Will Knippenberg has resigned his

ceiveo from the Pacific Athletic Associa-
ton OF the Am ateur Athletic Union, and
at recent meeting held in their club
room IN Oakland they concluded to sepa-
rate from the Pacific Association and
establish an association which will be in
dependent OF the Amateur Union or any
BODY affiliated with the union.
Ihe Acme athletes are sanguine that a
majority OF the athletic CLUBS of this
coast will join their association, which
Will be governed by laws that will better
please the athletes residing west of the
Rocky Mountains. J. Faulkner, promi-
nent athlete, said yesterday that the Pa
enc Coast athletes should be governed by
laws framed by themselves, and that what
ever money is collected from the various
clubs should 20 10 aid Pacific Coast asso-
citation, and not the Amateur AthIetlc
Union, which has never done anything OF
any consequence to boom athletic sports
on this coast.
According to the opinions OF many atm
letes it is thought that general forsaklng
of the Amateur Union will result IN the
near future.

Athletic Association has appointed COM
miJtee to investigate the standing or ath-

THE BROADsWORD CONTEST.
Ivan Malchin Submits New ChaIIen ee
to Sergeant Davis.

to Sergeant Davis.
The following communication is self
explanatory:
Editor CaIE-STR: In Saturdays issue of your
paper appears an answer from Sergeant Owen
Davis to the challenge for a broadsword con-
test issued the previous week by me for Ivan
Malchin.
In the first place l wish to correct the Ian
guage used by your reporter in the challenge
my protege to "three mounted contests and
three contests on foot" when the words act
ually used by me were ''to fight contest of
three rounds mounted and three rounds on
foot"
Sergeant Davis in his reply states that he
giving the challenger choice of weapons and
rules 10 govern; the contest to consist of
twenty-nine attacks lin other words points,
NOW as this contest is to decide superiority
IN the use OF the broadsWord, and inasmuch as
Sergeant Davis claims the championship
mounted, while my man has never yet fought
mounted but proclaims his prowess on foot, it
is obviously unfair to limit the contest to tine
particular style OF either one exclusively. We
will, however, agree to a contest consisting of
attacks dismounted, the man scoring the great
est number OF points in all to be declared the
winner for the purse and the cham mpionship of
the Pacific Coast, and will name Sunday, the
10th prox., at any place mutually agreed upon
for the contest.
fairly and squarely he cannot reasonably de-
cline these conditions and VIII please signify
his willingness through your columns.
Apologizing for taking up much of your
valuable space, which in my opinion is more
closely identified with the sporting interests OF
the City than any of the other morning papers,
am, respectfully yours, c. B. soLMs,
Manager for Ivan Malchin.

AMATEUR ATHLETES.
Clubs That Have Grown Tired of the
Amateur Union RuIes-Late
Sporting News.

The directors of the Olympic Club will,
it is thought. take some action at their
meeting this evening regarding report TO
the effect that some of the athletes who
had won prizes in boxing and other games
made practice of selling their orders for
lewelry, clothing, etc., to the highest bid
der for cash. Such proceedings are en-
tirely contrary to the laws of the Amateur
Athletic Association, and as a means of
defeating the aims of the athletes who m ay
win prizes in The future it is gener ally
thought that the directors will issue orders
that henceforth the prizes to be contested
tor will consist of medals instead Of orders
Tor lewelry, clothing, etc.
