A BIC HOLE IN HIS HEAD

1t was fearful accident which occurred
in Oakland yesterday, and it goes to prove
that carelessness is as dangerous as dissi-
patton, indulgences, excuses and abuses.
A big hole in a mans head is sometimes
easily pa ched up provided the individual
has been in good health and has not
abused himself or dissipated. There are
hundreds of men, however, who never can
recover because they have misused them
selves in a variety of ways in early life.
You cannot stay out all night, drink
barrel of whisky and continue to abuse
yourself and retain your good health.
If you have INDUCED in any of these
forms of abuses the sure and speedy cure
is the great "HUDYAN' remedy treat
ment "HUDYAN" cures nervous de-
bility, neurasthenia, melancholia and the
diseases and disabilities OF man. "HUD-
YAM" has been used as remedy treat
ment by the great doctors of the Hudson
Medical Institute for many, many years,
and has been so perfected now that it is
absolutely certain to cure. If you have

lars about "HUDYAN," write for them.

Daughter of the Late Stephen Hobson,
Who Was Insane, Makes Crave Charges
AGAINST HIS Guardian.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Jan. 21.-Mrs Louise
J. Kruse. administrative of the estate of
Stephen Hobson, deceased, to-day filed a
bill of exceptions to the final account of
Abram King, who was guardian of
Stephen Hobson, alleging that King has
appropriated over $4,000 of his wards
money to his own use.
Hobson died in this city on February
IA, 1896. For over twenty years previous
to his demise Hobson was insane, and
during nearly all this time King was his
guardian, but was succeeded shortly be-
fore Hobson's death by Mrs Kruse.
Hobson had property valued at about
$40. .0o0 and it is alleged that King while
acting as agent appropriated large share
of the income of the estate to his own use

Mrs. Kruse alleges in her complaint that
when she succeeded King as guardian Of
her father, Stephen Hobson, he failed to
turn over all the property of the estate,
but retained over SIC 900 in money belong
ing to Hobson, and fraudulently retained
and concealed the same. 1t is also charged

by submitting forged vouchers of ex-
penditures.

PACIFIC GROVE, CAL, Jan. 21.-J.
Cunningham, resident of this place. was
to-day committed to Agnews Insane Asy-
lum. Cunning ham, S case is a strange one,
and to degree his collapse was sudden,
though many OF his friends have noticed
signs of mental derangement for some
time past. He was an ardent worker in
the local Salvation Army corps and car
ried his zeal almost to the point OF fanatl-
cism. AT times he would conceive the
idea that 1t was impossible for him to be
''good" and do right and would give up
trying, feeling that evil spirits so beset
him that their influence would counteract
all his efforts against them. This delu-
sion only lasted a short time, however,
and he would soon regain MS normal
state of mind.
Last week, while he was at work at
Stewards ranch, about twelve miles from
this rlace, one of ''the devil spells" as he
called them, came upon him, and it
seemed impossible for him to shake it OF.
Stewart, his employer, who is also mem.
ber OF the Salvation Army tried to reason
with and persuade Cunningham, but
words were useless, and suddenly Cum
ningham began to cry that devils were
after him, tor he could see them, and
starting at a run came all the twelve
miles to Pacific Grove without changing
his pace. When he reached this place he
had become so violent that it was neces-
sary TO confne him. There has been no
improvement in his condition since then.
His case is deemed hopeless.

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. N.-Panic-stricken
passengers attempted to leave q west
bound cable-car last night just as the
train was emerging from the Washing
ton-street tunnel. Women tainted and
men wildly rushed for the doors, STUN
bling over the forms of the women as they
went. f iward Nugent was stabbed in the
hand during the excitement. Ross Sher-
man, his claspknife and two boisterous
companions improvlsed the panic.
Sherman and his companions boarded
the car, an Ogden-avenue trailer, at La
sale street about o clock. Their actions
were Objectionable to some of the passen-
gers, and the conductor, when appealed
to, attempted to quiet Sh erman. It only
made him worse, and while the car was
yet in the tunnel Edward Nugent and AL
bert Schreiner demanded that Sherman
behave himself or get off the car.
Then Sherman flashed his muderous-
looking knife and began slashing indis-
crlminately. Three women tainted at the
simmer of the blade and men clam bered
upon seats to escape the onslaught. at
this point Sherman's companions deserted
the belligerent young man.
In graphing with Sherman Nugent was
badly cut in the hand, but held his man
with one hand, the knife with the other,
until the car reached Desplaines and
Madison streetg, when Detectives O'Don-
nell and FitZmaurice relieved him. Nu-
gents wound was dressed and the women
revived at neighboring drugstore.

FRESNO FARMERS INSTITUTE.
Instructive Addresses by Scientific Men
Marx The Close of a Highly
Successful Session.

FRESNO. CAL, Jan. 2l.-The Fresno
County Farmers Institute convened at
Malaga this morning with a much larger
attendance than was had yesterday. The
days programme proved as successful as
did that of the day before and the farmers
are much pleased with the results of the
two days session. They have learned
much from the lectures of the university
professors on what has been accomplished
by science in the art of farming and many
were surprised to learn what college pro-
fessors knew of the business.
The first on the programme this morn
ing was talk by Professor Loughbrldge
of the College of Agriculture at Berkeley
on 1.-The Use of Fertilizers.
Farmers in this new country have not
yet had occasion to study this important
subject, but they realize that the time is
now at hand when they must give 1T some
attention. For this reason Professor
Lough bridges intelligent and instructive
address was we'll received. Educated by
the results of the professors studies and
experiments the farmers will undoubtedly
be in much better position to fertilize
their lands advantageously.
A. ?. Hayne made an address on "Vine
Disease" which was, of course, subject
of absorbing interest to the vineyard SITS.
He discussed the subject in its various
phases and from standpoint of expert
ence and study. Fresno vineyardists have
thus far in the history of the industry
escaped any general disease.
They dread it none tue less, however.
and evinced an eagerness to gain knowl-
edge concerning it so that they may be
better prepared if the disease should show
itself.
The last on the programme was a talk
on "Good Roads, !" by Mr.. Irwin, State
Commissioner of Public Highways. 1t
was favorabiy received and his ideas for
the betterment of the public thorough
fares were CIV n the warm Endorsement of
the farmers. This closed the session of
the institute, which has been highly sue
cessful indeed. That this movement by
the State University is commendable
one was evidenced to a marked degree by
the way the Fresno County farmers re-
ceiYed it,
