DID 1T RAIN FROM HEAVEN
An Infant Found on the Doorstep of Mr.
and Mrs Fariey's Residence.

An Infant Found on the Doorstep of Mr.
and Mrs. Fariey's Residence.
About or o'clock Tuesday morn
ing Sherman Frank, stepson of Mr.. G..
j. Farley, was attracted to the front
door of the family residence by strange
sound as if emanating from the lungs
of new arrival in the World, and on
opening the door found, sitting on the
front step, = basket in which young
ster was Justify crying. He at once
aroused the family, and the little
stranger was taken in and cared for.
The child was neatly dressed, having
on clothing that was hand made and OF
fine quality, and when found was COM
forably wrapped. In the basket was
custom-made infants dress on which
to cost mark had been left, and which
may lead to its Identification, or at
least lead to the discovery of what
city or town the child is from. There
was also found in the asket card,
on which was neatly written the fol-
lowing.
Little Kenneth Clair, born Feb.
18th, 1896. This child is not born out
of wedlock nor of low parentage."
From all appearances the child was
only a day old, but from whence he
came. and who his parents are is as yet
an unsolved mystery. Mr.. Farley has
presented the cost tag that was found
on the ready-made dress at every store
in the city, and none of the-merchants
recognize it as having come from their
establishments. This, together with
the time when the child was found,
leads MIR. Farley to believe that some
one brought it to the city on the west
bound passenger which arrived at A
a'clock. and his residence probably
being the first one that presented an
inviting appearance, as a place where
the youngster would be we'll cared for,
it was left there TO take its chances of
meeting with q welcome. Indeed it
could not have fallen into better hands,
for Mr.. and Mrs. Farley are caring for
it as if it were their own, but having
three children, this young stranger is
not a necessary addition to the family
They have not yet decided what dis
position they will make of the little
waif that has so mysteriously imposed
upon their hospitality, but will care
for him for time, and will exert every
energy to discover who he is.

ONE BURGLAR klLLED.
Buffers Brave Defense of his Employer
Property.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14.--Frank J
Miller. butler in the house of J. L.
Franklin, at 293O California street
shot and killed burglar this morn
ing and was himself shot and wounded
by burglar. Three burglars were
engaged in an attempt to loot the
house.
John A. Anderson, that dead bur
glar, was left below to keep watch and
the other two went up stairs. Miller
who sleeps in small room in the base
ment, heard Anderson moving about
the kitchen, and went after him with q
pistol. Anderson was also armed, and
the men commenced firing at each
other, each one firing four shots.
The noise of the shooting caused an
officer to rush to the house where he
found Miller unconscious and the bur.
glar dead. Anderson was shot through
the temple, and his dead body was
found lying on top of Miller. The
latter was shot through the neck. The
other burglars escaped
Miller was too weak this morning to
give any account of the shooting, but
he said there were three burglars con-
cerned.
Miller and Anderson evidently had
desperate struggle, as there was, a
great deal of blood on the floor. The
other members of The household were
aroused by the shooting, but by the
time they reached the lower part of
the house it was all over and they
stumbled over the two bodies on the
floor.

CHICAGO DRUGGISTS PLAN
WIN Fight Manufacturers of Proprietar,
Medicines.

VIII Fight Manufacturer Of Proprietary
Medicines
CHICAGO, Feb. ia local paper
says:
A factory for the making of remedies
| similar in nature to the proprietary
started by Chicago retail druggists.
A majority of the city pharmacists are
interested, and they hope to drive the
patent medicine makers from the
field, Hereafter, when man wants
| dose to s'cure that headache" and
asks for the remedy usually taken, his
druggist will tell him that he would
much better take something not only
''just as good' but scientifically better,
because it has been compounded
by physicians and druggists of the
highest reputation. The same thing
will be told the man who wants a
blood purifier or plaster.
More than 500 retail druggists of
Chicago have combined to fight, in
practically way, the cutting of prices
of drugs and medicines by department
atores,-and to combat, az the same
time, the sale of medicines by the man
ufacturers and wholesale dealers to
these stores. The retail druggists
have formed recently the United States
Pharmaceutical Company, and have
issued stock to the amount of $4,000,
almost all of which has been taken by
prominent pharmacists of this city.
The formation of the company was
the outgrowth of recommendation
made by the Illinois Pharmacists
Association. The members of that as
sociation said nothing could be done
to check the cutting in prices, and
that the druggists must strike out for
themselves and enter the field as man.
ufacturers. AS result, 250 of the re-
tailers of Chicago met and formed
company. In two weeks more than
$50 Chicago names have been added to
those of the organizers and from the
state at large 100 more have come.

A warning to Parents

It has become favorite sport with
the boys of this city to assemble in the
o. R. & N. yards, especially on Sun
days, and indulge in the dangerou;
practice of jumping on and off moving
cars and engines, thus endangering
both life and limb. BY this practice
the boys do not only needlessly subject
themselves to danger, but are source
of much annoyance to the men work
ing in the yards, and also are guilty oi
violating the law. If parents will not
see to it that their children desist from
this dangerous practice, the railroad
company will be compelled to enforce
the law as means of self protection.
The company cannot afford to take

An Amateur Fish Hatchery.

Mr, Louis E Beam, at the head OF
tide of the Siuslaw, has written to Fish
and Game Protector MCGUIRE, an in
teresting account of his experiences as
an amateur in the propagation Of sal
mon at Seaton, on the Siuslaw river.
He secured eleven female and dfteen
male chinook, and four female and
eight male sllyersides. The tirst eggs
were taken on November 8, and the
last on November %. The first COM
menced hatching on January 7, and by
February 5, nearly all were hatched-
He estimates he had $4,000 chinook
and 1900 silverside eggs to commence
with, of which eighty per cent of the
chinook and thirty-five per cent of the
silversides hatched. He wants Mr..
Mcclure TO come down and investigate
the matter, and viii hold the young
fish for two or three months to see
how they will thrive.

MORE GUNS FOR THE PRESIDE.
Valuable Additions to The Fort Poin
Battery

Valuable Additions to The Fort Point
Battery.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 17.-Another
big gun reached the Preside yester-
day and was hauled to the top of the
ridge back of Fort Point. This is the
second 30-ton rife to be added to the
Fort Point battery and completes the
trio ordered for this coast several years
ago.
The first to arrive was the 50-ton
monster which has remained un-
mounted near the fort for nearly a
year, and which was conveyed to Fort
Point in barge. Upon the arrival
of the two 30-ton guns last week it was
decided that they could be placed in
position as readily by hauling them
direct from the cars as.by towing them
around the bay and then hoisting them
by means of steam engine. Both
guns were successfully landed in this
manner, the first reaching the Presidio
last Thursday and the other yesterday.
The guns were carried on two heavy
trucks, securely chained together, and
drawn by four horses. The first gun
damaged the cable slot of the Union
street car line, so the second one was
hauled out Greenwich street instead
of Union. While the second was
crossing Polk street six-inch axle on
one of the trucks snapped, delaying
the work several hours. The three
guns will be mounted in short time
and, together with the three dynamite
weapons lately tested, will form val
liable addition to the defense of the
Golden Gate.

The Medford Incendiarx.

MEDFoRD, Or, Feb. 14.-An unsuc-
cessful attempt was made last night
to burn the grain warehouse of A. A.
Davis, situated across the street from
the Southern Pacific depot. The ware
house consists of two buildings con-
nected by small room, and it was
at this room that the fire was started.
Turpentine was thrown upon the wall
near the ground, but the boards were
so damp that they would not ignite.
The building contained 10000 bushels
of wheat and large number of desks
and other furniture for the new school
building. There is no clue to the
identity of the incendiary, but it is
supposed to be the same person who
has set former fires in this city.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15.-Chief oi
Police D. o. Smith, of Tacoma, is in
the city. His mission here is to in
vestigate the cause of the death of H.
Cranston Potter, and to try to, obtain
trace of Mrs. Arth ur B. Cody, the
Chicago women who disappeared
from Tacoma January 80. Speaking
of the latter case, Smith said:
1.-THE disappearance of Mrs. Cody
has caused greater sensation in Ia
coma than any event of recent years.
She is the daughter-in-law of Judge
Herman Cody, who resides at Pasa-
dena, and who was formerly circuit
judge at Chicago. Mrs. Cody had been
i'll of nervous prostration after the
birth of her last child, and, by advice
of physicians, she was sent to Tacoma.
She had, at the time she left Tacoma,
about $50 in her upossession. am
convinced she went away from Tacoma
as far as that money would carry her.
1t is my intention to make thorough
search for her in this city,"
