The dying words of Senator Weis-
senger, Of Kentncky, were these:
Violet stand firm, stand firm, never
vote for blackburn or free silver The
editor OF the Louisville Post thinks
these dying words ought to cause the
gold men 80 take heed that those
who maligned him, and worried him
to the grave, shall not profit by his i'm
timely death" Not even the bedside
Of the dying can escape the money
question, 50 firmly has II taken hold on

This is not the only country in the
world that is afflicted with bad statu-
airy. John Bright's son writes to the
London Times that the statue of his
father in the Houses of Parliament is
so totally unlike his father in every re-
spect that to look at it is painful to
his brothers and himself. If it were
not SO painful to see, he would call it
grotesque.

Exposure to Disease

does not necessarily mean the con-
traction of disease provided the
system is in vigorous condition,
with the blood pure and all the organs
in healthy action. When in such a
condition contagion is readily resisted
and the disease germs can find no
lodgment. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
best medicine to build up the systom
because it makes pure, rich blood.
and pure blood is the basis of good
health. In cold weather it is especially
necessary to keep up the health tone
because the body is subject to greater
exposure and more liable to disease.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the safeguard of
health.

time, and afterwards attended college
at Oberlin, Ohio. In 1882 he removed
from Pennsylvania to Wymore, Neb..
where he entered the service of the
Chicago. Burlington and Quincy rail-

promoted to locomotive engineer, and
employed on said railway until
the strike he was employed at the
Baldwin Locomotive works, in Phila-
delphia In 1889 he came to California
and entered the service of the Santa
Fe railway company. Since 1894 Mr.
Fulton has been a member of the city

except for two years when he held the
office of police judge, discharging the
duties of his office with excellent judg-
ment and gaining the good will of the
citizens. He being a lawyer and having
had experience as a public official, Mr..
Seamans will undoubtedly give salts

c. II. HANCE.
c. Fl. Hance, the union nominee for
city clerk, who was indorsed by the
League for Better City Government,
comes from an old family Of Virginia
pioneers, who immigrated at an early
date to Missouri, where he was born.
He was educated in the city of st. Louis,
and was a schoolmate of our present
county recorder When quite young
man, and during the gold excitement.
on this coast, he joined a company of
pioneers and started overland for the
gold fields of California. On arriving
at Pixies Peak ill health compelled him
to return to ST. Louis, and he entered
the employ Of the old North Missouri
Railroad company, now the Wabash.
He remained with that railroad until he
engaged in business of his own, which
he successfully carried on for several
years, and while so engaged his many
friends put him forward for the office
of clerk of the circuit court in Northern
Missouri.
He first settled with his family in San
Jose, where he successfully engaged in
the drug business for several years,
from which place he removed to this city
in 1885, and since that time he has been
in close business relations with the.
people, as one of the leading and popu-
lar druggists and pharmacists, and for
years has been one Of the best-known
figures on the street. Mr.. Hance has a
host of friends in the city, who esteem
him highly on account of his gentleman
ly bearing and unquestionable integ
rity, and who can give all assurance
that no mistake can possibly be made
in placing him in the office for which he
is a candidate. No portrait of Mr..
Hance could be secured in time for this
publication.
