A New York journal devotes coll
umn of consideration to summer read
ing. 1t is time and space lost. Summer
reading is not to be distinguished from
any other reading, provided all reading
IS what it should be-good reading. We
are told by the New York critic, how
ever, that summer is not the time for Sc
we're literary strain, or rather for the
exaction of high literary standards And
why? Why should we lower our ideals
IS to good books in summer and raise
them in winter? If summer is the time
for physical relaxation and recreation,
why should it not be of the best OF
times for selecting good reading mat
ter? Are we to cast aside our taste for
good reading with our woolens? An
other New York paper holds that sum-
mer is of all seasons the best for read
ing the best. But why, then, more than
at any other time? The open way to the
truth of the debate is this, read good
books at all times and weak and bad
books at no time.

Debs knows that he would be more than

the bill of the malcontents and Debs can
wait. 1t is said, of course, that a year
ago he announced his declination of a

explainable. To have consented then at

CURE FOR HICCOUGKS.
Prof. Lepine Discovers That Pulling
the Tongue is Effectual.

In the last year q number of cases of
prolonged and frequently fatal hic-
coughs have been reported in the news
papers. Frequently without warning
persons IN good health have started to
hiccough and have kept it up for weeks
without cessation until the exhaustion
proved fatal. The physicians in charge
have tried many things as remedies but
as rule failed to accomplish anything
toward controlling the disease, says the
New York Journal"
Professor Lepine OF Lyons, France,
has at last discovered a cure. A young
soldier had contracted the disease and
was rapidly losing strength. The new
remedy consisted in pulling the tongue
several times minute, keeping it out
side the mouth, and then letting it slip
back again. This faithfully kept up
produced cure inside of twenty min
utes.
Hiccough, when continued, is a seri-
Gus disease of the respiratory center in
the brain. These rhythmical fractions
on the tongue seem TO affect the res
piratory center in peculiar way. There
is a bunch of nerves at the base Of the
tongue which communicates directly
with the nerve centers in the brain
When the brain center is inactive it may
be stimulated by pulling the tongue. 1t
is inactive in cases of suffocation.
If baby does not breathe properly
when born. if the tongue is systemati-
cally pulled a few moments the baby
will begin of its own accord to attempt
to breathe. Pulling the tongue also helps
by clearing the throat In cases of
drowning it has been discovered that
pulling on the tongue ten or fifteen
times a minute acts as a more certain
and powerful stimulus than any of the
old methods, such as rolling the subject
on a barrel. hanging him upside down
from a meat-hook, or pumping him
with his arms, or blowing into his
lungs.

should either indict or ignore a matter
that comes before it, 1t seems to me
that when a Grand Jury has not suffi-
cient evidence to convict in a matter
before it, that there the matter should
end, and if the Grand Jury sees fit not
to indict it should not comment upon its
own proceedings to the detriment of the
reputation of either official or citizen.
Il do not want to be understood by
this opinion as in any manner indorsing
the report of the Grand Jury, or reflect
ing upon the Board of Supervisors of
this county. 1t is apparent from the
testimony herein that the Grand Jury
had not enough evidence to indict any
member of that board, and 1t was not,
in my opinion, incumbent upon them
after investigation of the board to file
any such report as has been admitted in
evidence.
II believe the present Board of Super
visors stands as high as any board in
this State and it does not seem to me to
be right that the regulations of the
members of the board should be tar
nished by Grand Jury which has not
sufficient evidence before it to hold them
accountable criminally.
Under the law 1t is my duty to dis
charge the defendant, and an order will
be entered to that effect"

THAT SIXTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOL
LAR SCHEME.

The proposition about to be submit
ted to the vote of the people to expend
$65, 600 for a section drainage plant
ought to be voted down for four suffi-
cient reasons.
l. IT is sectional, and not general as
any drainage proposition should be. 2.
It's adoption will effectually estop pro-
gress of the movement for an adequate
and comprehensive sewer and drainage
system. 3. 1t is opposed to the adopted
plan, which Included system of flush
ing. and relation to the present system
tnat would enable us at once TO use the
old sewers. with a few alterations, and
to flush them constantly, or as needed
at the minimum OF cost 4. No assur-
ance has been or can be given that the
pose intended, and that it can be adapt
ed to and made part of q. future compre-
hensive and general system.
It is probable that it would give tenn
porary relief TO the people of the south
west end, and they need relief. But in
proportion to property values involved,
and interests of citizens most concerned,
the scheme to relieve the south end is
not more defensible, or the need more
pressing, than one to relieve those of
the growing east end, who have pracu-
cally no sewer system, and whose drain
age cannot even reach a point where it
can be pumped out.
It is infinitely better that all suffer to-
gether than that by giving relief to a
small section of the city the demand for
a general system shall be denied the
whole people 1t is Impossible to dis
'guise the fact that if this S6o,OOO
scheme goes through. we may as well
hang our hopes high upon the walls of
the future for any relief of the city at
large. The old ruInous, menacing,
death dealing cesspools will remain
with us yet these many years The
east end will continue to wall for want
OF disposal outlet for its drainage, and
the unhappy north end of the city will
continue to suffer under heavy depreci-
alton of values and surface waters.
The proposition about to be voted on
comes from a very worthy citizen,
whose intentions and ambitions no one
questions, but he has had no expert
ence In this business OF any account;
his plan begins at the wrong end, and
his proposition affirmatiyeiy antago-
nizes a system, the plan of which the
city has paid for roundly, and that has
the approval Of eminent drainage engi-
neers: a plan that pleased the people
and promises the most swift and eco
nornic means for disposal of drainage
waters, the collection of sewage and the
abandonment Of the cesspool nuisance
which is really costing this people an
nually more for hand cleaning than
would meet the interest upon sum SUI
ficient to give US q comprehensive and
complete sewer system.

For the information Of a correspond
ent, who seems to have been grossly
misinformed, it is stated that the truth
concerning which he writes is just this
regarding the amount Of money of the
country. In 1860 the money in circula-
ton in our country was S442, 102, All; in
1872 it was $73S. .309, $40; at the close of
business June 80. 1896, it was 81, 521, =
5S4, ,2S3. The increase was 240 per
cent, and far exceeds the proportion in
the increase of population. and probably
is in excess Of the increase in the COM
mercial and industrial ventures of the
people. The per capita Of circulation in
July, 1860, was S14 06; at the same date
in 1872 it was SIS 20, and June 80, 1896,
1t was S21 35.

A BLATANT ANARCHIST IN DIS
GUISE.

Laurence Grondlund, a representative
socialistic, anarchistic, professional re-
former and writer, who has been on the
coast for year lecturing on subjects
related to calamity alarms, the French
revolution and a proposed new com
monwealth," has been leoturing before
and since Bryan's nomination in San
Francisco and other California towns
and cities, and, as usual. he has been
saying things about it and his theories
that are full of meaning from his stand
point for he is a pessimist Of the dark
est dye.
The world is going to the demnition
bow vows unless Grondlund's ideas ex-
pressed in his commonwealth book are
adopted. Just who pays Grondlund to
travel about and preach destruction and
prophesy revolution may be left to con-
lecture, but the man certainly must
have some backing of the material sort.

Sacramento, but did not succeed in

ton was considered a necessarily fatal dis
ease twas considered incurable. AS soon
as it developed enough SO that physician
could decide that it was really consumption,
the patient was considered as good as dead.
Years ago. DR.. Pierce found out that con-
sumption was not incurable, that it was not
necessarily fatal He not only found this
out, but he found out a way to cure con-
sumption. He introduced his Golden
Medical Discovery" The Discovery

the blood. and by the existence of disease
germs in the system. If the body is per
fectly strong and healthy, and the blood
perfectly pure, germs are easily thrown of.
If the body is weak, if the tissues are in
capable of much resistance, the germs find
a resting place and develop. That's the
way consumption begins.
The Golden Medical Discovery
searches out the germs, forces them out
of the system and cures consumption and
Other kindred diseases of the throat, bron

ton about it. 1t has done it in hundreds

GRAND JURORS PRIVILEGES.
They May Publish What They Please
About Citizens.
So Thinks Justice Henry, But BE
Does Not Regard It
as Right.

Justice Henry yesterday granted the
motion for the dismissal of the charge
of criminal libel against John We'll,
brought by J. M. Morrison, Chairman
of the Board of Supervisors.
We'll was Foreman of the late Grand
Jury which accused the members of the
Board of Supervisors OF having received
bribes for appointing Z. B. Nichols City
Physician. The Grand Jury, while
making such an accusation, did not find
indictments against any of the members
of the board The natural inference
was that they did not have proof to
sustain such a charge, although Super
visor Morrison demanded that they ex-
anime Dr. Nichols before he had
chance to leave the State.
Morrison at once denounced the state
ment made public by the Grand Jury as
a gross libel, and in order to have the
truth brought out he caused Wells ar
rest on charge Of criminal libel. Wells
examination took place this week, and
was argued at length on the defendants
motion to dismiss, at the close of the
prosecution.
Yesterday Justice Henry rendered his
decision as already stated, and it is as
follows.
