LOS ANGELES REF0RMERS.
The Parkhurst Society Swears to Score
of Warrants-DereH Policemen
in TroUbIe

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Dec A big
sensation was created here to-day when it
was learned that score of warrants had
been issued for about dozen saloon
keepers and an equal number of persons
who manage disorderly houses. These
warrants were being served this afternoon
as rapidly as the officers could locate the
individuals They were issued on COM
plants sworn to by Rev. G. G. Mclean,
the pastor of simpson M. e. Church, who
is at the head of the law and order COM
mittee of the Parkhurst Society of Minis
tiers of this city.
This is the outcome of much persistent
effort on the part OF the society to secure
the enforcement of municipal ordinances
by the police authorities. Some time ago
the society called on Chief of Police Glass
and wanted to know why he did not en-
force the laws regulating the liquor traffic.
The Chief replied that he had no kuowl-
edge OF such violations. Then, said the
Parkhurst society, we will inform you.
So they did.
The Parkhurst Society expects support
from the Police Commission. A promi-
nent minister said this forenoon that he
had assurances from several Commissions
ers that they would revoke the license
OF any saloon-keeper who violated the
law, provided the Parkhurst Society sup.
piled conclusive evidence of guilt.
Another sensation was caused late this
afternoon by the news that detectives OF
the society had reported the names of
th1rty-three policemen whom they saw
drinking in saloons while on duty.

Walked ON MOVING ICE.
Perilous Adventure of a Ferry- Boat Ca,
tain on the Co,uDsbtn.

PeriIoiIs Adventure of a Ferry- Boat Cap
tain on the Cotasmbtn.
PORTLAND, Or. Dec. 4.-Captain Hans
Jensen of the ferry-boat had thrilling
experience on the Columbia River this
forenoon. Early in the morning he went
across on the ice to the Washington side
to arrange for lowering the cable by
which the ferry runs. He started back
about o'clock, when the ice was appar-
emily solid, but when he had reached
the middle of the river the ice began
moving.
There was no alternative for him but to
keep straight ahead. He had on long
snowshoes and with their aid he was able
to keep on top of the moving body,
though it was a most dangerous under
taking. Every step had to be guarded
with the greatest precaution. for the least
slip would have let him down through the
moving mass.
For more than an hour the captain
wendell his perilous journey, while hun
dreds of spectators watched him from the
shore. expecting every minute to see him
go down. He reached the ferry on this
side safely, and it was inceed relief to
those who had been watching him as well
as to the captain.

while his wife was in the East she had
had two operations performed, one OF
them being for the removal of a cancerous
growth. This was followed by dispositions
of the physicians who treated her. They
went at great length into the details of
her physical condition.
1t is the plan of the defense to show
that DR.. Shorb was in no wise responsible
for the condition that caused Mrs. Sny-
der's death. This afternoon DIR. Roger OF
Seattle gave some startling testimony.
He stated that in June last Mrs. Jennie
Snyder and Rellans, with whom she lived

and described his treatment of Mrs.

gresham McLachlan will leave for Wash

ent asked him to-day as to the probability
of accomplishing anything in the way OF
general legislation during the next session.
His reply was:
~ believe that something will be done
in the way of passing the Dingley pill or
some similar measure to provide for the
raising of more revenue. l don't antici-
pate any opposition from the so-called
silver Senators to such a measure as was
manifested at the last session. The ver-
dict of the people has been so overwhelm-
ingly in favor of Republican principles
that believe there will be patriotic dis
position on the part of the silver Repub-
icans to give those principles fair trial.
l would amend the Dingley bill so as to
give greater protection to oranges, lemons,
prunes, raisins, wool, cattle and lum Der.
l believe tina. the Nicaragua canal bill will
be taken up and passed at the next ses-
sion.

will also be taken up at the next session.

for San Pedro in the contest before the
last session of Congress. Assuming that
the former reports were based upon proper
grounds, we would naturally expect that
the new commission will locate the har-
Dor at the same place for the same reason.
However, that commission is no child OF

claim any blame for its creation ii the har-

The Story of a Woman who Kept Posted

Her Own Life.
From the Era. .Rrnd6nrd. Pa.

Too few people are acquainted with the
rapid advance OF medical science, and too
many doctors are still plodding in the old
paths. Once it comes to pass that people
know themselves, that all physicians are
abreast of the worlds knowledge, much of
our suffering will come to an end. Medic
al scientists are not delving into the depths
of knowledge for the mere benefit of brother
physicians, but for the benefit of the
world. They place in the hands of the well
man means Of keeping well, in the hands
of the sick means of recovery. To the
parent they give the power of saving the
child. Science is working for you-will you
accept the proffered help9
Mrs. George Rowend, an estimable lady
who resides at No. 276 East Main Street,
has cause to feel grateful toward the
science of medicine.
One day recently, reporter, learning that
Mrs. Rowend had been greatly benefited by
the use of a new medicine, Interviewed her.
She stated that she had been suffering with
female trouble for many years. She had
been doctored for the ailment for long
time-in fact, nearly all her life--and had
never received anything more than tempo
| rary relief. During the last three years her
condition grew worse and was aggravated
| by an affection of the heart. Her health was
so poor that she found it almost impossible
to perform her household duties.
II never believed in proprietary medi-
| cines," said Mrs. Rowend, "but one day last
fall read an article in a newspaper which
told of the cures effected by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, and / decided to try the medi-
cine Before l had taken the contents of
one box began to feel better The depress-
ing weakness which had bothered me for so
many years began to disappear, and the ac-
| ton of the heart at once became stronger
and more regular.
II took nine boxes of the pills and am
now feeling better than l have for several
years, and 1 have unbounded faith in the
medicine"
Mrs. Rowend is steadily gaining in health
and strength and gives all the credit for her
restoration to health to DIR. Williams Pink

AERATION OF MILK.
Some of the Reasons Why 1t Is Necessary
in Cold Weather.


1t is remarkable that many dairy
men who are very particular about
airing the milk during the summer be,
come careless on the approach of cold
weather. While the milk will not spoil
so readily at this season, it is just as
necessary to rid it of the animal heat
by airing it as soon as taken from the
COW. Neglect of this gives the milk
that peculiar animal odor of which
housekeepers often complain, and which
they overcome in part by pouring the
milk into shallow vessel and placing
it in a current of air. Besides creating
a prejudice against the use of milk the
odor affects the flavor.
Airing is, in some respects, even more
necessary in winter than in summer.
Not merely is the COW kept under more
confined conditions, but the food is diff
ferent. Instead of the tender, juicy and
lnsipid grass, she partakes of stronger
tasting food which must inevitably i'm
part foreign flavor to the milk. This
is, of course, very Objectionable; but it
can be taken out by thorough airing
directly after milking.
