THE CALIFORNIA MEDICINE co

The lot on the corner of First avenue and Adams street is literally packed withpeople listening to the songs, jokes and funny sayings of the enter tainers, interspersed with the lecturer, Dr. Berry, in the interest of the pro prietary remedies he is introducing in this connection, and we will say that the doctor impresses his hearers with the truth of what he says, or rather that he believes what he states, and that of course makes him successful salesman. The doctors that fill the office or consultation rooms at the Ford hotel are said to be most remarkable as examiners, reading mems and wo- mems diseases at a glance, telling the symptoms, pointing out affected parts and going into the history of abnor- nal conditions like oracles. This is done without any special claims, ex> cept on the ground of scientific prin- ciples together with a vast experience that few can attain except where crowds are handled on scale where the inducements to consult are similar to theirs.

Monday C. E. Woodmansie bought
the Transcript of J. b. Elfreth and will
assume control at once. For some time
past Mr.. Elfreth has had under consider
alton the position of manager of daily
morning paper, in another state, which
he now expects to assume in few weeks.
Ben will be missed from the journalistic
ranks of this county and state. During
the past fourteen years in which he has
conducted the Transcript he has built up
an excellent business and brought his
paper into prominence. Ben followed
no ruts, but with push born of the man
he made a success of whatever he under
took. His paper while covering the
local field was acknowledged as the organ
Of the glass interest hereabouts. Besides
the cares of his own newspaper Mr.. FL
lreth was one of the most extensive cor
respondent of the metropolitan papers.
We trust that in his new field of labor Mr.
Elfreth will meet with abundant success.

William Shute Met With an Accident While
at Work on a Hay Press.
A young man by the name of William
Shute, had his foot badly crushed, while
working on the hay press of Minch d
Harris, on Water ST., near the pontoon
bridge, Monday afternoon, at 2 O'Clock.
Shute was feeding the press and put
one foot into it, while the plunger was
going out to press the loose hay into the
machine. He slipped and his foot went
to the bottom of the press, and before
driver Kent Ridgeway could stop the
horses, the plunger came back and
crushed Shute's foot. He was taken to
his home on Atlantic street, adjoining
Crickler's Machine shop, and Drs. Smith
and Thompson were sent for. After an
examination it was found that no bones
were broken. The doctors say it will be
sometime before he can use his foot.
