A BIG KICK.
Grievances of the Native Sons Against
the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company.


At the meeting of the excursion COM
mittee of the Native Sons tom orrow might /
some objection will be made against the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company in
connection with the recent celebration in
Stockton.
There are number of grievances and
one is on the question of rates. The
agreement was that the company would
charge 81 % for the round trip and that
the company would sell the regular ex-
curslon ticket at two-thirds the usual rate,
which was 50 35. That was the under
standing, so that the Native Sons would
nave control practically of the excursion
lists. The Native Sons sold their tickets
at " 50, thereby clearing 25 cents on each.
On the P. NJ. train that left for Stock
ton tuesday the railroad people broke the
agreement by selling round-trip tickets at
500, instead of So 35. Every ticket thus
Solo made loss of 25 cents TO the Native
Sons, they claim.
Another grievance is that the special
tlalns were to be run on schedule time
put as TACT they were from one 10 three
nours late both going and COM
ing. The company also agreed to
nave ample, accommodation in Stockton
lor all the excursionists, but on Wednes
day morning at o'clock, when the train
lett Tor this City, nearly 1000 people had to
be left behind Tor want of room, and those
who did get on the train were packed in
what the Natives describe as cattle-cars,
although they held tickets calling for
hrst-class accommodation.
The feeling is so hot against the South
ern Pacific that it is declared that in fu-
ture celebrations the Native Sons will
arrange to have them in coast towns. so
that steamers can carry the excursionists
and be independent of the railroad peo-
pie.

were also germs or microbes. Following
his researches he discovered that these
microbes were not only at the point of ap-
parent disease, but had permeated the
very heart of the plant and were in every
drop of the sap. He had discovered a COM
bination of antiseptic drugs that would
kill these microbe and so bring the plants
back to healthful growth. This point was
reached after many experiments, during
one of which Mr.. Radam experienced
certain feeling of exhilaration. Later he
found that, after applying his remedy to
his plants, he himself was IN better health.
AS the plants gained in strength so di6 he
and it was but natural that this coinci-
dence should cause him to turn his atten-
ton from the health of the plants to his
own health. He found that the theory he
knew 10 be correct in the case of the plants
seemed to be equally reasonable when ap-
piled to himself. The result was more
and more careful experiments, which
finally leo to the discovery or invention of
his now celebrated ''Microbe Killer" All
progressive physicians admit the correct
ness of the germ theory of disease. They
know that all diseases are caused by germs
or microbes, which lodge in some organ,
get into the blood and multiply as if by
magic. A weak spot in the body offers a
place for the lodgment of germ, and it
is the propagation OF germs and the con-
sequent fermentation in this spot that
~ H.
microbes settle in weak spot in the lung!
the disease is called consumption. If they
settle in the digestive organs and cause
fermentation there the disease is called
dyspepsia.
Differing locations and different stages
of development cause varying symptoms,
which are called by many different names.
Back of all these names and symptoms is
the one reason-the real cause OF all
disease-microbes These may be entirely
exterminated by the use of William Ra-
dams "Microbe Killer" As soon as they
are completely eradicated from the blood
and from the spot where the fermentation
is the disease will disappear. There is no
possibility of it lasting after the microbes
are gone, because they, and they alone,
create it.
Radam's Microbe Killer should be taken
three or four times day in wine-glass
doses. 1t is not strong medicine and is
made by impregnating pure water with
various gases. 1t is pleasant to the taste.
Perfectly harmless and positive and GER
tain cure for all blood and chronic diseases.

left the room and went down stairs to the
kitchen, where he procured q sharp knife
used for pairing potatoes.
With this he returned to the room and
cut her throat severing the caratoid artery,
the windpipe and jugular vein. Immediate
ly after the murder Smith left Seat Pleas
ant and went to Washington and proceed
ed to house No. 80 East Capitol street,
where he had formerly been employed as
a waiter. and where he always went when
he came IN to Washington on q visit.
Lieutenant Heffner OF the ninth precinct,
when the notification of the crime was re-
ceiYed and the murderer made known,
placed the house under surveillance during
the night, and mex: morning the arrest was
made by Sergeant Bryan and Policeman
Hayden.

be false in every particular, that he had
been on terms Of criminal intimacy with

promised to have nothing more to do with
her niece and was kept In service.
He declared that he killed Miss Drown
with him when he went to her room on the
2Sth Of July. He insisted that he made no
attempt to outrage her after he had choked
her and before he had killed her. but this
another lie. The murder Of Miss Drown

threats of lynching Smith.
He was confined in the ninth precinct sta

allowed access to him any account.
After the inquest was held at Seat Plea
SAINT Smith was removed to Baltimore for
safe keeping. The announcement of his

BILL DISMISSED.
Evidence Did Not support Mrs. Nom
rOe's Allegations.

In the case of Lucy E. Monroe against
James D. Monroe. in which Mrs. Monroe
asked for divorce on the ground of alleged
cruelty and desertion. Judge Hagner today
refused the divorce and dismissed the case,
rendering opinion of more than usual
interest and Importance.
In disposipg of the case. Judge Hagner
said the testimony failed to sustain either
charge. None of it, he explained, rises to
the grade of evidence in support of the
allegation of physical cruelty. and in the
absence OF such evidence proof Of what Is
called mental cruelty. consisting of i'll lam
gauge. cannot support the charge of cruelty
under the law.
The judge disposed of the charge of de-
sertion by saying that within one year be-
fore the Hing of the suit Mr. Monroe re-
turned to the city and solicited his wife to
live with him again, which she refused to
do. Therefore. said the court, If the al
legged abandonment ever began, it was not
continued during the statutory period of
two years.

TWO POLAR BEARS.
Arrived In the City Last Evening and
Have Quarters MT the Zoo.


The Geological Park has just received
most important addtionSto Its collection of
wild beasts. The first known of 1t was
when DR.. Frank Baker, the superintendent
Of the Zoo. received a telegram from Lieut..
Peary, stating that he had forwarded to
this city couple of polar bears, and COM
mended them to the kind consideration of
the people at the Zoo.
Needless to say, the new arrivals were
given q hearty reception, for the park has
..itbeen out Of polar bears for some time
past. 1t used to have two, but they did not
seem to prosper very well, and finally they
gave up the ghost
The two bears which Lieut.. Peary
brought back with him from the far north
made the trip fro m New York In big
cage, such as is ordinarily used for the
transportation of wild animals. They
stood the discomfortS of the railroad jour
ney in splendid style and were none the
worse for it this morning. The cage was
loaded onto a stout wagon and taken out
to the Zoo early this morning. They have
been placed in big outside cage near the
animal house. as DIR. Baker and Head
Keeper Blackburn have about decided that
the bear pit under the rocks near the en-
trance is rot a desirable place for polar
bears.
The new arrivals are still cubs, being
only about eight months of age. and will
not reach maturity for eight or ten years
to come. One is male and the other
female.
The Zoo has also just received a fine sea
lion. the property of State Senator Bradley
of New Jersey, which has been loaned to
. the park for the winter. 1t is splendid
animal and Is said to be one of the finest
in any collection anywhere.

WEATHERED THE STORM
Admiral Bunce Has Got His Ships Back to
Port.
No Word Of Their Mishaps, and 1t II
Supposed They Received No
Serious Injury.

Admiral Bunce has reported by telegraph
the arrival Of the North Atlantic squadron
at Tompkinsville yesterday. In his tele-
gram he makes no reference to the hard ex-
perience Of the ships in the last big storm,
and it Is presumed that he will run down
to Washington and report upon the subject
in person to Secretary Herbert.
With the return Of the squadron to Tomp-
kinsville the long program Of maneuvers
and drills for the summer and fall season,
which was carefully arranged last spring.
comes to an end. Secretary Herbert has
not yet decided upon further program for
the winter months. but is giving the matter
his attention just now. 1t is assumed that
after the constant service the ships have
had during the past few months with
much gun practice, that is, In itself, hard
upon the structure Of any ship. all Of the
vessels are, more or less. In need of small
repairs. and these must be made before any
further movements are undertaken. When
they are made it is possible that the squa d.
ron will be assembled in Hampton Roads
as a base of operations for winter evolu-
tons of the southern coast, such as were
projected. but not executed. last winter.
1t is likely. however that there will be
a considerable change in the composition of
the squadron by that time.
For one thing, within q few weeks the
big cruiser Brooklyn Is to go into commits
sion as well as the double-turreted monitor
Puritan, and these vessels will require a
force of nearly 800 men, IL they are to be
fully manned. This force can only be pro-
cured from other vessels, and thus 1t is
likely that some Of the vessels of the pres
ent squadron must be put out of commits
sion from sheer want of crews. Meanwhile
naval board Is at work upon a general
project for the maintenance OF reserve
list Of naval vessels, and probably upon
their findings will depend the solution of
the question as to what class Of ships can
best be laid up out Of commission.
