The fearful storm at St Louis and
that has swept across the States of Illi-
nois and Indiana, has left in its wake a
desolation before which that in Texas,
Iowa and Michigan of the preceding
week pales. 1t seems that the Wea-
ther Service Bureau gave the people of
st. Louis and all the adjacent country
warning that a very dangerous storm
was moving in their direction. 1t is
explained that 1t was not stated that a
cyclone or tornado was coming, since
that would have stampeded three mill
ions of people uselessly. We may doubt
the wisdom of that conclusion. How
ever 1t is useless to discuss possible mis-
takes now. There was such warning the
Weather Service Bureau insists as
would suggest to cautious people the
wisdom of preparation to oavoid disaster
by seeking refuge in cellars, which are
the only safe retreats in these terrible
windstorms. The details Of the great
disaster are as yet meager; not for some
days can the full extent Of the loss Of
life and the damage done be ascertained.
Let us hope that in the first shock Of the
horror of the hour the story of the loss
of human life has been exaggerated, as
is probably the case.

At no time could the city build a high
school so cheaply as now. AT no time
has the need for building such as we
ought to have been so pressing. AT no
time has money been SO cheap as now.
At no time would such construction
stand more to the credit of the city.
The poor mans school, the academy
for the children of parents Of modest
means. the seminary for the children
who cannot be sent abroad, as are the
offspring of the rich, to receive thor
ough education, is needed now, this
year, at once. 1t is not a new need, but
1t is just now more intense than ever
before. But the Trustees, dominated
and led by the nose by Kent and De-
vine, the statesmen, who despise cult
ure and sneer at the results of scientific
discovery, has refused the people even
the poor privilege of voting upon the
proposition For less offensive and in
sulting tyranny the men of 1476 rose
In arms and achieved their liberties.
But being law-abiding people, and re-
decting that there will come day OF
reckoning and a Board Of Trustees that
is truly representative, the people or
Sacramento viii wait, assured Of this
truth, "The wheel of time brings about
It's sweet revenges." If we are to have
no new high school building and no
comprehensive sewer and drainage sys-

large Is good enough for the people OF

1t is not a little strange that when
Judge Wallace of the Superior Court OF
San Francisco was placed upon the wit
ness stand on Thursday to testify as to
the value of his personal property listed
for taxation, he was quite ignorant OF
its worth, and really did not know just
what he owned of movable chattels, and
what such as he remembered having
are worth. Yet Judge Wallace is re-
puted to be a very rich man, and to
maintain a very stylish establishment
Still, according to him, his personal
property is mainly lot Of old rubbish
upon which for taxation purposes a low
valuation has been placed. Strange
how different it is to the fellow whose
OK is gored.

The Memorial Day exercises in the
schools of this city yesterday were so
general and hearty. and so full of the
spirit of genuine patriotism, that the
hearts of lovers of their country are
cheered and strengthened. Cultivate
the patriotic impulse in the youth Of
the land; teach them what true pat
riotism is; that underlying 1t is the law
of love for their fellows, the
duty to others that every man
owes, and what freedom really
means, namely, liberty under the sane
ton of the law. Impress these truths
upon the youthful mind and fix them
there, and we need have no fear for the
perpetuity of American institutions

dyspepsia for there is certainly no other
trouble on earth that keeps you so ever
lastingly struggling against being crushed
into utter despair Anything that cures
dyspepsia lifts about half the weight of
misery that crushes mankind, -a and wo-
mankind.
The trouble with most of the so called
dyspepsia cures, is that they don't cure.
They give only temporary relief Indiges-
tion usually extends all through the diges-
tive tract, from the stomach clear down to
the large intestine the liver too Is frequent
" involved in the trouble being torpid and
inactive. For a thorough, radical, per
manent cure you must have the whole di-
gestive organism set right.-Not violently
stirred up, but regulated. Doctor Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets will do it. They stimu-
late the digestive juices Of the stomach
invieorate the liver and help it to actively
secrete the bile and act gently on the
bowels to promote regular healthy move
ment This means complete and last
ing cure of digestive troubles.
The Pellets are not a severe csthart1c.
They act on the bowels naturally and COM
fortably though surely. The dose can be
regulated to your needs, and when the
"Pellets" have done their work they can
be discontinued. You don't become
slave to their use, as with other pills. If
the druggist suggest some gripping pill that
gives him more profit, think WhGt Us"

The fact that the depletion OF the
regular jury panel may have arisen
from too great a liberality on the part
Of the Judge in allowing excuses to
those summoned thereon cannot AFFECT
the regularity Of the special venlre,
the matter Of excuses being one of wide
discretion and nothing being made to
appear to show its abuse.
A confession is a persons declaration
Of his agency or participation in
crime. The term is restricted to ac-
acknowledgements of guilt. The fact that
the statements of a defendant, when
considered with the other facts in the
case, have a tendency to prove guilt,
does not constitute them confessions or
subject them to the rule applicable to
the latter.
The moment defendant submits
himself as witness, his character, as
such witness, for truth, honesty and
integrity Is involved, and he becomes
subject to the same rules for testing
his credibility before the jury, by i'm
peachment or otherwise, as any other
witness.
An appellant cannot be heard to urge
or point out to the appellate court for
the first time an objection Of any more
specific character than that made in

THE DAY.

This Is the day set apart for those
observances that are intended to per-
petuate heroic memories and cultivate
regard for the men who in the hour OF
the Nations peril stepped to the front
and imperiled their lives, and hundreds
of thousands Of whom laid them down,
that the Union might be preserved in
tact.
The value Of these observances is far
greater than to the specifically think
ing may at first appear. They are not
in gloriflcation of war or in laudation
of prowess. but are conducted that 1t
may be shown that nations are not al
ways ungrateful, and that while we
can never forget the war and the causes
which hurled it upon the country, we
can have forgiveness in our hearts for
those who brought it on, and that the
volunteer soldier Of the Republic is al
ways to be honored and respected by his
fellow citizens for his self-sacrifice and
patriotic devotion.
The sentiment that clings about these
observanceS is so tender and gentle as
to be free from all suggestion of re-
proach for the men IN gray. We cannot
forget their deeds, since to put them
away In the chambers Of forgetfulness
would be to do injustice tc
the men in blue, to whose heroism
devotion and self-sacrifice the present
unity Of the States Of the Republic Is
due.
The ceremonials Of the day are there
fore, to be approved for their teaching
quality, for the justice of acknowl-
edgment Of service that they typify
for their value in impressfng youth witt
the nobleness of self-sacrifice, and the
duty that is incumbent upon good citi-
zenship to defend the institutions OF
the land, and for the revival Of hope
and faith in the indissoluble union o1
sovereign American States.

An attempt is defined as an effort or
eudeavor; an act tending toward the
accomplishment Of a purpose which
exceeds a mere intent or design and
falls short of an execution of 1t. There
is a difference between the preparation
incident to the offense and the actual
transaction, but, If the actual trans
action has commenced which would
have ended in the crime If not inter
rupted, there is clearly an attempt to

Wood Bending.

In an account of the wood bending in
dustry a writer in The Woodworker re-
marks that comparatively few persons
outside the carriage and boat building
interests are aware Of its extent, and
but few realize that the carriages they
ride in are very largely made of such
wood-the fellies of all their wheels
are bent and made in two parts-the
framework OF coaches and heavy car
fiages is nearly all made Of bent stock.
and not only better made, but more
cheaply, and the frames Of pleasure
boats are bent. as also many of the
frames of the finest sailing yachts. Fur
niture, too. Of many kinds, has bent
frames, all the celebrated Thonet chairs.
for example, being made entirely of
wood thus treated. The object Of bend
ing is twofold-namely, saving of time
and stock and stability and strength Of
the work when put together-this in
dependent Of beauty Of form. and bent
carriage shafts are almost, if not entire
ly, used now, instead of the old style.
clumsy, sawed ones Skill in manipu-
lating the material is very essential
Simply the forms TO bend on and the
steam box in which 10 soften the wood
do not alone insure success in the opera
tion---it is necessary 10 know perfectly
the stock TO bend, it being so variable
that no two pieces bend alike.
