THE NETWORK TIMES,

THE TIMES is a newspaper for intelligent men and women who want to read all the news l of the world every day. The paper has distin- | gushing merits of it's own. It is neither sen satlona! nor dull. It is not sour tempered. It IS not frivolous or visionary. It sees plenty of good in the world and tells about it. It tells of the bad when it must, but not unwholesomely. It prints with fullness the record of human en- deavor in many fields outside of business, poli- | tics, and war-in literature, religion, science, art, sports, and household matters No paper 1n the country prints so many book reviews and so much book news. No papec has so complete financial page-a daily manual for investors and officers of financial institutions It's mar ket reports-wool,. cotton, breadstuffs. farm produce, &c.-are the best in the country.
 The Democracy of The Times is of the old fashioned sort-as old as Thomas Jefferson; majority rule; no bossism, no machine tyranny, the divorce of politics from private money making, sound currency, industrial enamel patton. and everyday honesty. To promote the advance of the Democratic party along these lines 1t labors with heart and conscience and o1 itcp iobf

The relative merits and efficiency of
Paine's celery compound in making peo-
pie well is clearly shown in the character
of the people who to-day rely ON it to cure
insomnia, nervous debility, persistent
headaches and rundown condition.
1t is the power of rapid repair of the It's
sues that makes Paine's celery compound
the great saver of life that it is. 1t brings
just the needed nutriment to the distracted
nerve tissues all over the body and in
creases the volume of healthy blood so
that breaking down of some vital part is
averted. While taking Paine's celery COM
pound there is general building up of the
deep-lying tissues all over the body, and
throwing off of unsound elements that
clog and interfere with its healthy activity.

their attention to the Fourth, where they
expect to defeat Judge Mcguire at the
polls. The Populists on the committee
were very deftly made the catspaws of the
octopus in the fulfillment of its desires.
"Thus in the Fifth District they beat
Rogers on the ground that he was an
A. z. a. Then they beat Barry on the
ground that he was opposed to the A. P. A.,
and then capped the climax by nominal
ting an A. P. a. in Rogers place. This
showed conclusively that that question
cut no figure in the calculat tions at all.
Mr.. Rogers is not an A. p. A, for he with
drew from that order some time ago. On
top of that the railroad people knew that
the election of Rogers, in view of the fact
that be was Mayor Sutro's clerk would be
hard thing to explain when they should
try to pass the funding bill next winter.

made, and that is if they replace Mr.
Rogers on the ticket they can have my

1t was intended that all the rookeries on
Dupont street, adjoining the old Globe

Secretary Godchaux, prohibiting the work
OF demolition on the houses numbered
1908, 1Ol1 and lob, owned by P. Marsi-
cana. The injunction proceedings will be
heard before Judge Murphy on the 18th

injunction suits brought by Frank J. Sui

A BABY AS A PLEDGE,
Florie Royce. a Vaudeville Ac-
tress, Has an Odd Ex-
perience.
Her Little GIRL Is Held by a Board
ing Mistress for an Unpaid
Bill.

Mrs. Sam Snapper, known in the ranks
of the vaudeville as Florie Royce, went be-
fore Judge Hsbbard yesterday with her
attorney, Carroll Cook, to secure writ of
alternative mandamus to compel Clorindo
VaIento to give up the possession of her
(Mrs. Snapper's) child.
The trouble is all over a board bill
which Mrs. Valento claims to be due her
on behalf of the child, and she is holding
the child as security for its payment, very
much to the disgust of Mrs Snapper.
Florie Royce is high kicker by profes-
sion. She placed her little daughter with
Mrs. Valento, who resides on Rausch
street, to be properly cared for Some
days ago the mother called with the inten-
tion Of taking the child away. She was
presented with board bill for $24, which
she declared was much more than she
owed under her agreement and refused to
paw it.
Mrs. Valento said she could not have
the child without paying the bill. The
mother went away to see legal counsel
and the result was the petition which was
issued by Judge Hebbard. The parties
waited in court for some time for the ap-
pearance of the defendant and finally an
attachment was issued.

We'll, somebody told me SO" was the
chairman's explanation.
Then George w. Monteith, the regularly
nominated Peoples party candidate for
Congress from the First District, ad-
dressed the committee, ana offered to
withdraw absolutely from the contest if
the committee would replace Mr. Rogers
on the ticket as the Populist candidate
from the Fifth District.
To both his and Mr.. Rogers surprise
the offer was rejected with but scant cour-
tesy. Mr.. Gator did not think favorably
of the proposition, and as the committee,
and IN TACT the whole party, have been in
the habit OF sitting at Mr.. Gators feet
drinking in the words of wisdom that fell
from his lips, what Mr.. Gator thought was
90 and what Mr.. Gator didn't think was
no go. AS Mr.. Gator didn't think that it
woulc be expedient TO reopen the whole
fusion matter of course it didn't 90.
Gator is reported to have been in charge
OF the Peoples party programme at the
State Convention in Sacramento, at the
National Convention in st. Louis where
he ably assisted the Democrats in whoop-
ing up the Populists for Bryan, and dur
ing ali the proceedings which terminated
last Sunday night in discord and no fu-
sion.
Another prominent mem Der of the COM
mittee is John S. Dore, who is said to be
the most popular Peoples party man in
the San Joaquin Valley and whose word
is law to the Populists of Fresno County.
His friends declare that virtue shall have
ITS reward, and that he must be the next
postmaster of the city of Fresno.

sion report. 1t was evident tha: every
hing was harmonious and satisfactory,
for the discussion occupied only two hours
and half.
The report was adopted by a majority
vote, after which some one moved that the
vote should be made unanimous, which
was done.
Then they walked forth into the night
with Joy and harmony and that peace
which passeth ell understanding ranking
in their bosoms.
Mr.. Monteith declares that he will re-
main in the field. He has been nominated
regularly by regular party convention,
and his place has never become vacant. For
that reason the Secretary of State will be
obliged to put his name on the ticket.
Mr.. Monteith said to CALL reporter last
night that the scheme for Congressional
fusion was crafty plan of the octopus

adopted the plan of taking up man

J. Taylor Rogers, clerk of Mayor Sutro,
and unbeloved of the octopus, was white
hot last Sunday night when he learned
that Chairman WardalI had announced
to the fusion conference committee that
he, Rogers, was willing to have his with
drawal acted upon if A. B. Kinne should
be made the nominee for Congress from
the Fifth District in his stead.
Mr.. Rogers had sat in the anteroom of
the silver headquarters all Sunday even
ing very disconsoIate, awaiting the action
of the committee. According to the deal
that was made he should have been ac-
cepted as the fusion candidate, and would
have been had he not been betrayed by
those who should have been his political
things, and this was not the first time that
friends have been made to cut the political
throats of friends to serve the interests of
that implacable corporation.
1t was not until John W. Mitchell of
Los Angeles emerged from the inner room
and announced that a. B. Kinne, a mem

chosen in place OF Mr.. Rogers that the
victim realized the treachery that had un-

not hear any of the acrimonious and dis

Rogers taxed Chairman Wardall with

The story of the discovery and unpar'
alleled success of Paine's celery compound
is the story of high purpose steadfastly
followed; the reward for the lifelong
study of the nervous system in health and
disease. Prof. Edward E. Phelps discoy-
cry in the laboratory of the Dartmouth
Medical School proved monumental
work in the art of dealing successfully with
many diseases that were up to that time
held to be obstinate of cure. To-day
rheumatism and neuralgia, heart palpita-
ton and nervous dyspepsia are taken in
hand by Paine's celery compound with the
absolute assurance OF freeing the system
of them entirely.
In this greatest of all remedies there is
hope for every person distressed by symp-
toms of dyspepsia, impure blood, falling
vigor or low nervous condition.
