nally bends, the bones ache, while de-
erepitude and helplessness prema-
turely take possession of the body.
Under this treatment, IL Ia but q short
step from vigor and health to a pair
Of crutches. With this wreck of the
system often comes falling of the hair
and eyebrows, loss of finger nails,
and decay of the bones--a condition
most horrible. This IN no overdrawn
picture, for the world to-day Is full Of
these hobbling mcrcurial wrecks.
Contagious Blood Poison is the most
horrible of all diseases, and has been
appropriately called the curse Of man
kind. Until the discovery of S. s. s.,
II was incurable. 1t has always baf-
fed the doctors, and IL is In this ds-
ease that the evils Of mercury and
potash are most common, because
these drugs are given In such large
doses in an effort TO countcract tho
poison. While they succeed In bottling
up the poi6on In the system, II always
breaks forth again, attacking some
delicate organ, frequently the mouth
and throat, filling them with eating
sores. s. s. S. Is the only known cure
for this terrible disease.
IT Is the same In other diseases of
the blood. Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer,
Rheumatism, all are given the same
treatment by the physicians-mercury
and potash, and the result as above set
forth Is always the same.
We offer a remedy purely vegetable,
powerful In It's effect, yet harmless in
every way. For fifty years s. S. s.
has been curing blood diseases, from
the most violent 20 the mildcst case,
after all other treatment failed. II Is
guaranteed purely vegetable, and one
thousand dollars reward is offered for
proof 70 the contrary. II is a real
blood remedy for real blood troubles,

ONCE roo OFTEN
Did Robert Giles Practice Petit
 Larceny.

Some months ago Mir, Frank Stewart had a pistol stolen from him. He was unable ever to find the thief. Yesterday he was in the rear of Brannon Bros. in room on the second floor. While there he laid pair of hand cuffs on table. He forgot the cuffs and went down stairs, leaving them on the table. Later missing the hand cuffs he re- turned to the room to get them but they were gone. He inquired of every body in at Brannons, Robert Giles being the first person he in- quired of. Mir. Stewart offered Giles s5.00 if he would find the hand-cuffs.
 Last night he was discovered with the pistol that Mir. Stewart had lost, on his person. The hand cuffs and another pistol were also found in his possession. When arrested he said that the pistol be- longed to his brother, Louis Giles, who was also arrested. Pliant Goodloe was also arrested and it is thought that the three are respon- sible for various articles Of bed clothing disappearing from Bran non's saloon.
 This morning Robert Giles plead guilty, before Justice Vance, to two cases of petit larceny and to one case for carrying pistol. His various fines amounted to gro aud costs.
 The cases against tho other two men have not been disposed of as yet.

NAIL MATTERS
THREE WILLS
Hard on the Heirs, But the Lawyers
Laugh

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-Great surprise
has been caused by the production Of a
third will of the late rich and eccentric
Joseph Richardson. Mr.. Richardson died
June last in the famous "Spite House,"
at 1916 Lexington avenue, leaving for
tune estimated at s30,0O0,000. Within .
short time after his death two wills
were filed for probate. The first, bearing
date Of April "a, 1897 divided his for
tune equally between the widow, Mrs.
Emma Jane Richardson; his daughter,
Delariffa, and his son, George Richard
son. The second will, dated October 20,
1894, divided the estate equally betwe en-
the testator's two children and ignored
the widow. In the latter will the benefl-
Charles were made executors, and in the
will of 1897 the widow and son George
were named executors. George and his
sister at once announced that they
would contest the will of 1897 flied by the
widow. Mrs. Richardson interposed OBJ
jections to the instrument introduced by
the children. The third will was made in
1886, ard this divides the estate equally
between the widow and children also.

Herman Oelrichs and Miss Virginia Fair
accepted the invitation Of Engineer
Sholl Of the Central Pacific to ride in the

are against the extension Of such privi-
leges as riding on the engine to passen-
gers, unless special permit is produced,
and so the engineer was suspended for

On learning of this order, Mrs. Oelrichs
wired to Engineer ShoM to come to San

METHODIST MINISTERS
Want the Powers of the Bishops
Curtailed

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-The Herald
says: There was lively discussion at
the last meeting of the metropolitan min
isters in the Methodist Book Concern
building over the effort to curtail the
powers of the bishops Of the Methodist
Episcopal church. The subject dis
cussed is one Of the most vital affecting
the affairs Of the Methodist church and
| 1t also embraced the methods now re-
sorted to by the leading clergymen of
the church in getting their transfers from
one conference to another with view OF
bettering themselves
The evils of the present system as
sumed an aggravated form at the annual
conference of the New York East con-
| ference last year and this was really the
cause of the present movement to curtail
the power of the bishops. Last year
three of the leading churches of the con-
| ference, which were apparently unable
| to satisfy themselves with the timber
at hand, the term of their pastors having
expired, extended calls to men in other
parts of the country and assumed that
they would get the men Of their choice
But the united body Of ministers of the
conference made vigorous protest on
the grounds that the conference was al
ready full
| The protest was son strong that Bishop
| Walden concluded not to let the three
churches referred to have the ministers
to whom they had extended calls. The
| feeling that had been stirred up in the
New York East conference, which COM
prises some of the leading churches in
the metropolitan district, had the effect,
however, of bringing the subject before
the entire body of ministers, and it was
for the purpose of determining whether
it Is not possible to correst the evils that
the meeting was held.
| 1t is considered likely the meeting will
result in the drawing up Of resolutions
which will be presented at the general
conference, which convenes next year,
recommending certain regulations of the
character indicated by the paper of Mr..
ThOmpsDr
