A Monster Aer6lite.

The San Francisco papers report
that monster aerolite struck the
earth in the foothills east Of Chico,
CAL, afew nights ago. IL Is described
as prismatic in form, over 80 feet in
length, and about 2 feet through. Al
Ter it struck 1t cut gutter 2 feet In
depth through the hard lava rock for
a distance OF 200 feet before IT rested.
The metal somewhat resembled cop
per in color. but Is so hard that a
finely tempered cold-chisel will moi

little tishy. Louis Globe Democrat.

A BAD MAN WITH A GUN.

Early this morning Frank Burk was
brought to the police station by Officer
Henderson and booked for carrying a
concealed weapon. Burke had been
drinking in a saloon during the evening
and became quite abusive, fiourishing
the gun and making threats. An Of
ficer was called, but by the time he ar
rived Burke had given his gun to the
bartender and all was serene.
After the saloon had closed he came
out into the street and began looking
for some of the fellows who had incurred
his ire earlier in the evening. Hender-
son saw him, and on stopping him ana
making a search found the revolver in
his pocket. Officer Fay came along at
this juncture and assisted in marching
the prisoner up to Main street to caal
the patrol wagon.
While walking along Burke made a
grab for Fay's club and tried to wrench
it away. For his trouble he got Il
crack over the head that laid the scalp
open and sobered him considerably He
was locked up for the night and will
know more this morning

Residents of Boyle Heights turned out
in good force last night at the municipal
ownership meeting Of the Ninth ward,
in Korbel hall. to listen to the doctrine
which has become more than popular to
wit: That public necessity should not
be owned and controlled by private
monopoly.
Candidates Snyder, for mayor, Rush,
city attorney, Fulton, for auditor,
Hance, for city clerk, Boyle Workman,
for city treasurer, Dockweiler for city
engineer. Frick, for superintendent of
streets, Salyer, for tax collector Rees,
for councilman, and Binford, for school
director, were all on hand, and among
the other speakers were Messrs. Earl
Rogers and J. L. Fulkerson. Burdette
Chandler presided.
Mr.. Fulkerson was first called upon.
He discussed the local issues from le-
gal point of view and urged all to work
increasingly for the ticket, the success Of
which he was assured from the personal
contact he had had with large numbers
of voters. He had made a thorough can
vass, he said, of the central portion of
the city, particularly among the business
men, and he remarked, sententiously:
TT is a business mans campaign" The
audience took this as an allusion to Mr..
Snyder, 1t seemed, for they applauded
loudly.
Earl Rogers proved good entertainer
with his fund of laughable stories, with
which he is always we'll supplied.

Campaign workers of the league for
Better City Government are busy cir
culating literature, canvassing for votes
and holding meetings. Some of the
most energetic workers are found in the
Fourth ward, notably in the Thirty

the Better City Government forces for
election day.
Fifth ward committeeman met at

also decided to hold two public meet
ings in the ward during the week. to be
addressed by some of the candidates of
the league and other good speakers. The
time and place Of meetings will be an
nounced later.
A bulletin recently issued by the cam
paign committee of the league says:

the community, comprising all political
parties. Their ticket contains Demo-

IN THE SEVENTH.
One Scheme That Is Sure to Be De-
feated.


Editor Herald: For some time before
the Republican convention was held.
Thomas Strohm was the possible candi-
date Of the push" in the Seventh ward
for councilman. But when the "push,
found out that even if they could secure
the nomination for him it ,eould be i'm
possible to elect him, then the Strohm
strength was thrown over to DR.. G. Ed
gar Smith, Paul Vignes being his man
ager. Vignes said beforehand that he
would land the doctor safe in the con-
vention if it would cost him $1,000, though
he did not have any money himself. and
he did, Ned Walker and Ed wilkins tha
two would-be politicians being his help
ers But the push soon found out
again that the people did not want the
doctor, not only because it is claimed
that his wife has $30 900 worth of stock in
the water company, but because they
think the doctor has his hands full now.
and when they want little improvements
down in the Seventh they don't want a
councilman that they must go to by a
card or through an agent. The people in
the Seventh want man that can devote
all of his time to looking after their in
terest and the interest of the city at
large.
When James Ashman got the nomina-
ton in the Democratic convention, the
City Water company and Prof Storrs
of the Traction company saw it was get
ting dark on them in the Seventh ward
and the first thing we knew the field was
full of independent candidates. 1t is
claimed by good many men in the ward
that it is nothing but scheme of the
water company to have these independ-
ent candidates in the field, so as to split
the reform forces to defeat James Ash
man, the regular Democra tic People s
party nominee, and elect the water com
pany's candidate to the council.

A WORTHY CANDIDATE.

Boyle Workman, our candidate for
city treasurer, is a native son, having
been born in this city twenty nine years
ago. He is a son of ex-Mayor Workman.
a man who did more to build up Los An
geles than any of the pioneers who are
alive today
Boyle Workman is we'll fitted for the
position to which he aspires He has
been actively engaged in business for
himself for number of years and all
who have had any business dealings
with him speak in the highest terms OF
his business sagacity and honesty.
His opponents speak of Mr. Work
man as a young man and say he is in
experienced We need young men like
him as public officials for this young
city and as for experience, we believe
that Mr.. Workman has had more prac-
tical experience than the average man
of forty-five.
He is one of the most popular young
men of this city and he had always been
noted for his excellent habits and gen.
tlemanly bearing. Some time ago Mr.
Workman married the worthy daughter
of Judge r. M Widney. thus uniting
two of the leading families of Los An
geles. -,
The young men ofthis city will, re-
gardless of party lines. cast their vote
for BOYLE Workman for city treasurer,
for he is endowered with those commen-
dable traits and manly attributes that
appeal to every young mans sympa-
thies.
He will also have the support of the
three parties that chose him as their
candidate. The people of Los Angeles
have good reason to be grateful to ex-
Mayor Workman for the splendid work
he did in helping to build up our beauti-
full city. The parties who nominated
his son for city treasudrer recognized in
him the many sterling and noble quail
ties of his father and the neatest COM
pliment the people can pay ex-Mayor
Workman will be to give his son rous-
ing majority at the polls on the 9TH
of December.

and brother at 3o7 Aurora street, while
Williams lives at 1910 San Fernando

AT the crossing on Upper Main street
the Yuma freight was met, just pulling
INTO the yards. Here was a chance to
ride for several blocks on their home
ward way. and the young fellows jump
ed aboard the cars. In front of the depot
on San Fernando street the train slowed
up and al 1.-The boys jumped off-all but

His companions did not notice that he
was not with them for several moments

rev minutes later, however. when Car

skin was unbrOkan but the whole chest
was crushed to pulp, the right arm
fractured and the neck dislocated.
Death had evidently been instantar-

The conductor of the freight train was
ignorant of the fact that anybody had
been hurt by his train, but the rear-end

Is this: that if it will cost you
nothing to consult us and get
our advice, how can you afford
not to investigate our claims
the claims hundreds of our
friends - your friends and
neighbors-make for us? BY
doing so you have everything
to gain and. nothing to lose.
And don't put it off. 1t is
tempting Fate to do that. You
have no right to delay in a
matter involving life and death.
You owe something to your
family and your friends, even
if you do not hold your life
and your health sacred on your
own account.

Brains
in
Medicine

You must mix brains with
your medicine if you ex-
pect to cure disease. Medi-
cine must be stronger for one
person than for another. The
same medicine will not do for
every person with the same
disease, and in prescribing the
doctor must take into consid-
Grafton the general physical
characteristics of the patient;
also the temperament, disposi-
tion, occupation. What is one
mans meat is another mans
poison. All this requires a
knowledge that can be OBJ
tanned only through experience
covering thousands of cases,
embracing every possible con-
dition. We have had this ex-
perience. We mix our medi-
cines with brains. That is why
we succeed when all others
fail.

A
Pro-
gressive
Proposition

The purpose of our week.
ly announcements is to let the
public know what we can do,
what we have done, what we
are doing every day in the
way Of curing chronic dis
eases.
If we didn't do this we
would not get the amount and
character of business our
ability merits. We have spent
many years and thousands of
dollars in study and exper-
imentation and in travel. We
have thousands of dollars in
vested in instruments and ap-
paratus. We know our ability
and want the public to know
it. We have confidence in
ourselves, and it is necessary
to show that confidence in or
der to gain and hold the con.
fidence of the public.
Moreover, unless we make
ourselves known to the pub
lie, how is the public to know
us? How are sick people
to get the benefits of the
best professional services, if,
through lack of information,
they fall into the hands of in
competents?
Progressive people look
to the columns Of the news
papers for information about
everything. This is a pro-
gressive age. We are pro-
gressive people. That is the
whole story.
