Above is the picture of another OF the
thousands of well.known citizens whom
Paine's celery compound has made well.
Chief Postoffice Inspector M. D. Wheeler
of Washington, d. c., writing to the pro-
prietors of this most wonderful of cur
atives, says:
Il have used Paine's celery compound
with marked improvement IN health. At
the time com menced using it was very
much run down from overwork and was
advised by friend to try it. l began al
most Immediately to improve, and after
taking three bottles felt well enough to
discontinue it's use, and have been perma-
nently benefited. 1 heartily recommend
it to the public"
Mr.. Wheeler has found out what every
one should learn-that putting heart and
soul in ones business no longer means
sticking to the desk, counter or workroom
till the head grows dizzy, the back aches
and neuralgia twinges shoot through the
frame.
They are the short-sighted men and
women who put up with this state of
things when the risk is so great and the
remedy so easily within their reach. As
weakness, nervousness, languor and sleep
lessness are clearly the result of low nerv-
GUS nutrition, so permanent relief will
come from rapidly building up the wasted
nerve tissues. Paine's celery compound
is the means best calculated for this end.
Paine's celery compound purifies and
reinforces the blood in way that no other

COURSING.
Reopening of Ocean View Park Un-
der New Management.


Coursing men will be pleased to learn
that Ocean View Park, one of the finest
inclosed coursing fields in America, will
reopen on Sunday, November 1, under
new management and with entirely new
accommodations. The grand stand is be-
ing rebuilt in such q manner that the
poolbox and other arrangements will be
entirely under cover and as comfortably
arranged as any park in this vicinity. The
opening of the park is due to the in
creased interest in the sport.
Time was when one park could accom-
modate all, but that has passed and the
popular demand is for another park
where dogs which cannot run on the
grounds now operated. because of the
character of the soil, can have show.
Ocean View is admitted by all to be q
superior winter coursing ground and will
doubtless be literally patronized, particu-
larly as splendid lot of Merced hares,
the same as will be coursed at the inter-
state meeting, are now IN the paddocks.
A new entrance will be opened opposite
the new grand stand, which has been
built sixty feet cityward from the old one.
This gives better facilities for reaching the
cars of Sunnyside and Ocean View which
will stop opposite the stand on both the
up and down trips.
The entrance lee for opening day will be
ST. with $50 and $40 bronze clock added.
large number OF frst-class nominations
have already been made for the stake,
which will probably be limited to thirty
two dogs. A separate stand has been pro-
vided Tor ladies and admission will be free
to all. The management will be in the
hands of the Ocean View Coursing Club,
which is composed of some veterans and
some new men in coursing.
Following is the result of the drawing
for the coursing at Ingleside Park to-mor-
row:

THE OARS MEN.

How the Regatta Committee Was
Treated by the Railroad Company,
The Southern Pacific Company has
given the oarsmen e bad shaking up
financially, and unless the Pacific Ath-
letic Association secures prizes from some
of the open-hearted citizens the regatta
which was to be rowed on Oakland Creek
on Thanksgiving day, and for which ex-
tensive preparations were already made,
will fall through, as the railroad company
has seen fit 10 cut its original appropria-
tion OF $500 almost in two.

affair, thinks he can induce the com pany
to give an amount sufficient, with the
prizes he has received from John D.

THE ANGLERS.
Locke Special Train for Sportsmen
and Anglers to Russian River.

Locke Special Train for Sportsmen
and Anglers to Russian River.
There are biief periods during the win
ter months when the young salmon run
up the Russian River in schools, in fact
when the stream is literally swarming
with fish, and Excursion Manager Locke
proposes to take advantage of these
periods to give the sportsmen of this City
and vicinity special excursions at these
times whereby they can go up to Dun
cans Mills and enjoy whole days sport
and get back to the City Sunday night, in
this manner having the fun without in
terfering with business. To carry out his
plans Mr.. Locke has arranged with the
North Pacific Coast Railroad to furnish
special train to connect with the boat
which leaves the Sausalito ferry at II 80
O'Clock the first Saturday night after the
salmon make their appearance in the
river for which event he has arranged to
be notified by telegraph. This train will
reach Duncans Mills about o'clock Sun
day morning, where breakfast viii be
ready, so that the anglers can get to work
at daylight.
Returning, the start will be made at
about $50 in the evening, reaching the
City at about $3.50 P. M. Preliminary to
the start Mr.. Locke is now securing the
names and addresses OF all who desire to
go, so as to notify each person by mail when
the time arrives, as the fish are liza BILE to
make their appearance almost any time
now, and when they arrive it will require
quick work to get ready for the trip. The
railroad company owns several thousand
acres of timbered land just this side of
Duncans Mills, which is open to quail
hunters, who also will receive exceptional
advantages by the prospective trip, as
they will be dropped off at any point be-
yond Howards.
A popular rate will be given for this
special excursion and all hunters or
anglers who desire to participate should
communicate with Mr.. Locke at 333 O'Far-
sell street without delay. Attached to
the train will be one or more special cars
in which there will be no smoking, con-
viviality or loud conversation, for the ac-
commodation of gentlemen who desire to
take their wives, but the train proper will
be a typical sportsmen's special. In the
event of parties of friends being formed
of sufficient number they will be provided
with private cars for the round trip.
Already considerable interest has been
manifested in :he event, nearly eighty
subscribers having been secured for the
initial trip.

Three Road Races and Several
Record Trials on for Tomorrow.
CLUB EVENTS.

CLUB EVENTS.

California Cycling Club-Road race,
San Mateo to San Carlos.
Camera Club CycIists-Run to Niles

More road races and record trials are
scheduled for to- morrow, and with the con-
tinuance of fair weather there will probably
be number of these events each week.
The course from San Leandro to Hay
wards was never in better condition than
now, and fast time is always the rule.
Walter +. Foster, the crack Olympic
professional, intended to try for the five
mile record there tomorrow, but met
with an accident Thursday which will
oblige him to defer the attempt. He was
following triplet pacing machine manned
by George E. Dixon and s. B. Vincent.
Bay City Wheelmen, and Russell Cush-
ing, Garden City Cyclers, when the triplet
slipped in wet place and went down.
Foster was close up and piled right on top
of the machine and its riders. All were
considerably bruised, and it is wonder
that no bones were broken.
George NJ. Hamlin of the San Francisco
Road Club will try to lower Frank Byrne's
ten-miIe record of 24:27 tomorrow, pac d
by several tandem teams. The general
impression is that he will do it handily.
Then the Imperial Cycling Club has a
ten-mile handicap race on the cards, which
will start from High street, Fruitvale, at
IL o'clock. Captain Trolliet will take The
mem bers over on a run on the o'clock
boat. The entry-list is large and an inter-
estlng race is promised. Several of the
Imperials will ride in this race for the sole
purpose of lowering the existing record,
and there is no reason why Lind, Cook
and one or two others should not turn the
trick.
The Alameoa CycIers will hold five
mile race tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock
from San Leandro to Haywards, for which
there are thirty-four entries, who have
been handicapped as follows:

Captain Argent has called a run of the
Camera Club Cyclists to Niles Canyon for
tomorrow. Members and friends will
bring lunch and take the 8:45 o'clock
narrow-gauge boat for Alameda. The
distance is eighteen miles and the roads
are now in good condition.
The California Cycling Club will have a
fve-rnile road race tomorrow over the
San Mateo-San Carlos course. Nomina-

be made at the regular weekly meeting
next Monday night.

Tips on Stanford-Relia Game
This Afternoon.
This afternoon Stanford will play Reli-
ance on the Central Park gridiron. 1t
will be their first meeting this season for
blood. They engaged in practice game
about month ago for preparation against
other teams, but neither side scored.
Since that time Reliance has opened the
football season by handily defeating
Berkeley, while Stanford made of her first
match no-score contest with Olympic.
Both teams, therefore, will come together
to-day for their second match with a
clean record and will fight hard to hold

Chicago, July 8.-The committee on
resolutions was very prompt in as
sembling today owing to the fact that
the subcommittee was at work until
late this morning. Shortly after con-
vening the full committee heard a del
egation from the woman suffrage asso-
citation who desired to have incorpor-
ated in the platform a strong woman
sufrOge plank. The leading argument
in favor of the resolution was made by
DR.. Julia Holmes Smith of Chicago.
Other arguments were made by Mrs.
Catherine Waugh NTcCulIoch. The anti
suffragists were also given hearing,
and argued against the adoption of any
suffrage plank in the platform.
VIM. p. st. John of New York made
an argument in favor of his free coin
age plank which had been submitted to
the committee. He made an argument
to show that there are many votes in
the east in favor of free coinage and
claimed that New York and some New
England states have majorities for free
coinage. The sub committee then made
its report to the full committee submit
ting the platform which had been
adopted last night.
w. w. Gatewood, a Texas delegate,
made an argument in favor of mOdera-
tiOn in the tariff declaration and sub
mitted the following which has been
incorporated:
Resolved, That we favor tariff for
revenue sufficient to defray the neces-
sary expenses of the government econ

raw materials of the south and west,
including their wool, hides, sheep, cat

he proceeded. Senator Hill of New

age of silver was reached, to the ef-
feet that there should be declaration
for the preservation of the parity of the
metals. This brought on a discussion
as to the absence of the minority re-

take a form of protest which has been

Messrs. Thomas, Tillman, George,

sibility of a panic was freely discussed.
Finally the paragraph was slightly
amended on motion made by Mr..
Thomas of Colorado.
The sections relating to tariff and in
