A gentleman representing a Kansas City
house visited the city Tuesday on a mis-
sion somewhat different from that of the
ordinary drummer. He had an antidote
for nicotine, which he declared would
cure tobacco ehewers and smokers OF the
disgusting habit. He had treated, he
said, Gov. Stone successfully, and also a
large number of other persons, who en-
dorsed him and his medicine. His great
est difficulty had been to find men WHO
were willing to give up the use of tobacco.
But be succeeded in getting a number oil
people interested, and they will try what
virtue there is in hia remedy.

II. c. SydnOr Reelected.

III. G. Sydnor was reelected treasurer
of the Swine Breeders association al
Columbia last week. The Herald SAYS OF
him:
III. C. Sydncr,~ treasurer of the Swine
Breeders'. association, was born near
Richmond Va. in Hanover county. on
NOvember4 4. 1866, and one of.l8 children:
attended private school at his fathers
place until McClelland's siege of Rich
mond commenced, McClelland's head
quarters being on his fathers farm. Here
the bloody seven days fight around
Richmond commenced. McClelland held
a council of wal in his fathers house on
the night of twenty-sixth of June, 1862,
the evening of the first days battle.
Though only II years old, MI. Sydnor
recollects neatly aIllthat was said. He
remained at home during all those bloody
days, all the older boys being in the con-
federate army; after he war he removed
to Richmond n attended Richmond
College for two years, then removed to
Lafayette county, Mo-, in 1870. He mar
ried Miss Hubble Taylor, of Dover, Mo-,
in 1873. He has been engaged in farming
n raising pure bred hogs ever since.

When a person is losing flesh and vast
ing away there is cause for alarm. Moth
ing SO worries a physician. Consumptives
would never die il they could regain their
usual weight. In fact there would be no
consumption il there were no wasting of
the system. The cause OF this loss of flesh
is a failure to properly digest the food
eaten. Nine-tenths OF all our diseases
date back to some arrangement of the
stomach. The Shaker Digestive Cordial
will stop this wasting of the body. 1t acts
by causing the food we eat to be digested
so as to do good, for undigested food does
more harm than good. The Cordial con
tains food already digested and a digester
of foods as well.

ABUSED A GIRL
Tried to Drag . Mere Child Into . Ledginl
House at Night

An exciting incident occurred at 12: 80
o'clock this morning in the hallway of q
lodging house on North Main street.
The neighborhood was suddenly arous-
ed by the screams of frightened wo-
man, and the knot of passers by that
quickly assembled discovered a young
girl of perhaps 16 struggling in the arms
of a man who was endeavoring to force
her up the stairway to the rooms above.
This She resisted with all her might,
but her captor still strove to drag her
with him. o.
He was a man of perhaps 80 years of
age, small in stature and fashionably
clad wearing q nobby light overcoat
To the girls entreaties that she be
taken home he turned a deaf ear and en-
deavored by cajolery and force alter
nately to compel her to accompany him.
Finally two young men who had wit.
messed enough of the scene interfered
on the girls behalf and stated in en-
phatic terms that they did not propose
to stand by and see any child dragged
to her ruin. 1F
At this the scoundrel hurried the child
toward a two-seated buggy which was
standing near by, and, placing her In 1t,
drove rapidly off. Not proposing to see
the villain escape in this manner the
young men followed on the run and
Jumped in themselves. They shouted
Justify for policeman, and officer Fay
soon hove in sight. The whole party
was taken to the station and the Sob
hing and hysterical girl placed in the re-
ceiving hospital. Her assailant posi-
lively refused to give his name or any
particulars, so was without ceremony
hustled into a cell and charge OF
drunkenness placed against him. The
horse and buggy was placed in stable
for the night.
From the girls appearance she IL
evidently of respectable family and
cannot be more than 16 years old at the
outside. She is said to reside on Hill
street, between Sixth and Seventh.
After recovering somewhat from her
nervous condition she told something OF
her story the particulars of which need
not be mentioned. From her account It
is evident that the designs of her as
sailant were of the worst. The names OF
her rescuers, Tom Harrington and Mark
johnson, were taken by the police to be
used in the prosecution of the case It
necessary.

The London rIarketS

LONDON, April 19.-While the lead
ing banking institutions have tacit
agreement not to lend money under
half per cent, it has been possible dur
ing the past week to obtain advances
elsewhere at sls low as quarter
cent. With consols at over 112 it is
quite impossible to have an idea when
the upward movement of all investment
securities is likely to stop. AS a result
of the excessive cheapness of money at
tention is being directed to any stock
showing a fair interest return. The
tendency of the week has been upward
all around. Spanish securities have de-
clined slightly Home securities showed
an inactive feeling. Africans We're in
active pending the development of the
situation in Africa. American securi-
ties show a more healthy tone, SEEM
ingly on the belief that the feeling is
growing in favor of the gold standard.
Advances for the week include Can
adian Pacifics, 3; Wabash, g. Louis
vile and Nashville, 1A; Chicago. Mil

THE VISITING HOTEL MEN
Sunday Was Passed al Coronado and Quietly
Observed


Yesterday was typical Southern Cal
ifornia day and the members and ladies
of the II. M. M. B. A. enjoyed it very
much. The morning hours were gerer-
ally given to rest, though quite number
Eatronized the hot salt water plunge
and bath rooms, while few went nsh-
ing. The local Presbyterian and Epis-
copal churches drew to their doors some
CT the strangers, but the great majority
spent the large portion of the day in the
rotunda and court of the Hotel Del Cor.
onado, upon the porcheS or out upon the
sands. The afternoon witnessed more
animation, however. There were driv-
ing and riding parties, trip to TIA
Juana, where the ladies and gentlemen
stepped over upon Mexican soil and then
stepped back again; ride out upon the
1etty at the entrance to the harbOr;
swimming parties without number in the
great plunge and general circulation
in and about the hotel. In the afternoon
one of the fishing parties returned with
4 catch Of about $50 pounds, comprising
barracuda, mackerel and yellow-tail.
They reported great sport.
Last evening Prof G. Wharton James
delivered his popular lecture upon the
snake-dances of the Southwest and the
Grand canyon of the Colorado, to all
oppreciative audience.
Continual expressions OF pleasure and
surprise at the wonderful beauty, at
tractiveness and fertility of the soil Of
Southern California were heard.
Today will be San Diego day. There
will be a drive, a reception by the mayor
and lunch at the Hotel Florence. which
is under the management of George W.
Lynch, president elect of the II. NJ. M.
Il. a.
In the evening the annual banquet will
take place in the large dining room Of
the Hotel Del Coronado. at which over
four hundred covers will be laid. The

IN THE HOUSE
No Program Settled and All the Members
Anxious


WASHINGTON, April 19.-The pro-
gram for the coming week in the house
is very unsettled. Mr.. Henderson,
chairman of the judiciary committee.
has given notice that he will call up the
bankruptcy bill for consideration on
Wednesday and Thursday, but the APP
preaching end of the session has made all
members interested in this particular
legislation very active, and from now
there will be much jostlng and crowding
for the right of way. 1t seems probable
that Mr.. Henderson will be crowded out
this week at least. First of all, Mr..
Cannon, chairman of the appropria-
tions committee, is determined to push
through the general deficiency bill, the
last of the supply bills, at the earliest
possible moment. and as appropriation
bills are privileged he can be kept out
only by a vote of the house. AS the
powers in control are desirous of fur
thering everything to an early adjourn
ment they are in full sympathy with
this purpose. He does not expect the
deficiency bill to consume more than a
day or two days at most.
Mr.. Pickler, chairman of the commit
tee on invalid PENSIONS is very much in
earnest in his purpose to bring in the
general pension bill reported from his
committee and he intends to press it at
every opportunity. With this legislation
also the manager of the house is in
sympathy. There are in addition sew
eral contested election cases to be dis
rosed of.
There is a particular desire to dis
pose Of the case from the Fifth Ala
bama, the report on which unseats
Judge Cobb. The chances are, there
fore. against the bankruptcy bill this
week.
Tomorrow is suspension day. Bills of
the banking and currency committee,
the public lands committee and possi-
bly, the pensions committee will be
brought up.

SHOT OFF HIS TOE
Accident to Youth While Out Hunting Nea
LynWoOd

f. j. Frowiss, a manufacturing jewell
er whose place of business is at 430 South
Spring street, yesterday took his family
out in the country to visit a friend
named Herman, who resides on a ranch
near the little village of Lynwood, The
day was spent by the women folks in
chatting, While the men along in the
afternoon took shotguns and went out
to seek the festive jackrabbit. Her
mans little son Rudolph, about IA years
old, went along and was permitted to
carry one of the guns for q time.
In some manner, due to careless ham
ding, the weapon was discharged while
in the boys hands, resulting in the load
passing into the ground at his feet, at the
same time carrying away portion OF
the big toe on the left foot Frowiss
placed the boy in his carriage and drove
into town and to the receiving hospital,
where DR.. Bryant fixed up the injured
member One half of the toe was cut
clean off by the charge, but luckily the
wound is not at all dangerous. Had the
shot struck a little further up on the
foot 1T would, at that close range, have
torn it in such a manner as to necessi-
tate amputation.
After having his foot dressed, during
which operation Rudolph shed copious
tears, Frowiss took the lad back to his
home. The next time young Herman
goes a-hunting he will probably use .

On April s the District of Columbia

upon the Bartlett racing bill to permit
horse racing in the District of Columbia
The bill authorizes the incorporation OF

Leonard Gibson of this city has an
interesting and timely article in the

ton. Where are the Horses to Come
From?" He points out the fact that
many large stock farms have lately
gone out of existence, and no large.
horses have been imported to this state
for years. Where are the teamsters
in all the cities on this coast to get their
large horses from?"
The Derby price of Richard Croker's

1t is not impossible that he may prove

STATE NOTES

Next Sunday will be the seventy sew
enth anniversary of the order of Odd
Fellowship, and the occasion will De
celebrated at Stockton by religious OBJ
servances in which all the lodges will
anticipate. The three lodges, two
lodges of Rebekahs and the encamp-
ment and Canton Ridgley have ap-
pointed committees to arrange for the
celebration, and the first meeting was
held yesterday.
Cloverdale and vicinity escaped the
frost devastation up to Saturday night.
when it suffered terribly. TS~-ther-
mometer fell to "a. and from all direc-
tions came reports from vineyards al
most ruined. +. G. Furber, prom
inent vineyardist, reports incalculabla
damage in his district, and the river
grapes are a total loss. There is some
hope, however, in the prospective sec
ond crop This destruction will cause
untold hardship to this section, as SO
much depends on the vineyards. Other
fruit is so far advanced beyond the
frost but little damage can be done.
There was heavy frost at
Woodland on Saturday night and
more damage resulted than on ac-
count of any other frost this sea-
son. The fruit crop is SO far advanced
that it was not materially injured, but
grapes and vegetables were badly dam
aged. Potatoes. tomatoes and other
vegetables in some localities have been
almost ruined. The grape crop has
been reduced fully one third. The
frost seems to have fallen in streaks
No two vineyards have been treated
alike.
A heavy hail storm occurred at Tracy
yesterday lasting fifteen minutes. In
the afternoon and evening about twen-
ty-five hundreds of an inch of rair
fell.
