The most critical period in wonan's life may be properly called Blossoming Time" It is the period when she blossoms from girlhood into womanh0od.
 At this nomentous time the best rnedi- cine for woman to take Is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It acts directly up- on the delicate and important organs that are to bear the burdens of wifehood and motherhood It makes them strong, healthy and vigorous It corrects all exhausting drains. Taken during the pe- riod of expectant maternity, it banishes the usual annoyances and makes baby's coming easy and almost painless. It in sures the newcomers health and an ample supply of nourishfnent. It transforms weak, sickly, nervous, complaining wo- men into happy, healthy wives. Thou sands of women have told over their own signatures, the story of the marvellous merits of this great medicine. An hon. est dealer will not try to persuade you to take something different from what you ask for, for the sake of few pennies ad- ded profit.

1t is beginning 10 be seen that appoint
ments In the school department have been
numerous almost as the yellow sands, and
the Board of Education is accused OF
turning the department into a big polltl-
cal machine, and the members OF that
body are charged with the grave offense OF
stutfing the teachers roll with the names
OF their friends, who are drawing salaries
porting for duty once a day can be con-
sdered in the light of work.
No matter what other offenses the men,
bers may be accused Of that of overlook
ing their friends car never be brought
against them. for the record shows that
since they came into power they have pro-
vided positions for 126 friends in the
School Department. The political latch
string was always hanging on the outside
for their friends. and it was pulled pretty
often. 1t is said that positions have been
m ade for friends OF the board when there
was not the slightest necessity for any
teachers.
School Superinte tendent Webster is Justly
indignant at the abuses which exist in
the department and which he is powerless
TO prevent.
at is an outrage said Mr.. Webster.
"There are too many teachers for the
work. There is no necessity for having
so many. l have just finished my visits
10 the night schools and | find that the
abuses are greatest there. The Board
adopted the rule that twenty five should
be the average attendance for class but
on my inspection | found that but few
out of the I25 classes had the requisite
number. There are twenty-four primary
and grammar night classes, whose daily
average attendance is below twenty five.
Two special night classes have an average
attendance of less than fifteen, and eight
mixed grade night classes also below
fifteen. Out of the i25 classes there are
forty-seven whose daily average attend
ance is twenty or less.
II found one class of four pup pills. one OF
five and three OF eight / submitted my
report, with the recommendation that
some classes be consolidated, and al> O
with the request that it be acted upon i'm
mediately. The report was given to DR..
Ragan, the chairman OF the Evening
Schools Committee. That was three
weeks ago, but the report has not been
acted upon"
Among the cases cited where teachers
are EN- ployed and paid for doing nothing
is that of I. McAuiffe, who was appointed
10 teach in the Lowell High School.
Three days alter the appointment was
made it was ascertained that there was
no work for McAuliffe. F. Morton, the
PRINCIPAL OF the school, informed Z. ].
Gallagher, chairman of the Secondary
Education Committee, that there was no
place for Mr.. McAuliffe, but the gentle
man did not recall the teacher. In conse-

quence Mr.. McAuliffe IS compelled to per-
form the difficult work OF going to school
every morning to report SO that he may
earn his salary.
OF the 125 appointments made by the
Board of Education for the day and even
ing schools twenty-three were first ntro-
duced as substitutes by the previous
board. That would make the total num-
Der for which the present board is re-
sponslble 1O2. This mum Der, with the ad-
dltion of about twenty three substitutes
who have been appointed, gives the board
about 125 appointments to their credit.

SHOT IN A BATTLE WITH
BOLD BURGLARS AT BADEN

only caught faint glimpse OF him by the
nickering light OF the candle Andrews
carried. Neither of them would say that
the prisoner was the man who inflicted
thelr wounds, but they said that IN gen
erai appearance the prisoner resem bled
| their assailant.
Inc prisoner was taken back 10 the Red
wood City Jail late in the afternoon, and
on the wav he claimed that he had never
oeen In Baden. Deputy Sheriff Desirelio,
VINO is the consta bic at Baden, Is positive
however that he saw the prisoner with a
compa loahng about Baden the even
ing before the attempt was made 10 rob
the proprietor of the Grand Hotel. Sew
eral OF the boarders at the hotel identified
the man as one of three who entered the
oar-room OF the hotel during Tuesday
evening and called for drink.
The prisoner told Sheriff Mansfield that
be was in New York City up to six
months ago, but when confronted with
record OF his crime in San Francisco and
proof OF his term in Folsom he ad nit ted
that he was an eX-convict, having served
term as Samuel Z. Moore.
He denied having any companions dur
ing the last four or five days ami insisted
tnat he had nothing to do with the Baden
AFFAIR. The police, however, are satisfied
they nave the man who fired the shots in
the hoteI early yesterday morning.
The man whom Feniter grapplei with
Ill the hallway of his hotel, and who es-
capped without his hat, is still at large.
tenlter says the fellow will undoubtedly
nave some MARKS or bruises about his head
and lace. He says the man is about feet
10 inches IN height. He is moo.h-shave!i,
with dark hair. He had a large, promi-
nent nose and he wore dark brown over
coat and dark trousers.
Soon after the flight of the murderous
ROBBERS posse was organized by the citi-
zens OF Baden and they started in pursuit
OF the f1eeing men. Another posse was
organized at Colma and all yesterday
about score of men were securing the
hills between Baden and San Francisco in
search OF the yi!lainous pair.
1t was said at police headquarters last
evening by some of the detectives that
Moore has been associatiug tor some time
with one Sid Mcdonald, said to be a noto-
rlouS desperate and nighwayman.
About mlinlght 1t was decided to
orerale, and Anderson was put under the
influence OF chloroform for over an hour.
The bullet was extract'd, but the physi-

He was on his way to San Francisco

Sunday night. He said he carried the

fired the folr shots from it the day before
at a mark on fence near Baden.

convicted of throwing pepper in the eyes
OF A. Stern at the latIer's place of busi-

revolver. He was sentenced to serve fif-

After the prisoner 8 record had been es-
tab 1shed he was turned over TO Sheriff
Mansfield of San Mateo County and

him to Redwood City and locked him UP
in the County Jail there.
Late in the afternoon he was broug t

landing about half way up the stairs, and
Andrews fell to the floor with blood
streaming from a bullet wound in the
groin. Connolly ran to assist him, when
another shot was fired, and he sank groan-

man l was clinched with broke away from

been fighting jumped over the groaning
men at the top of the stairs and fell rather T
than ran down the steps, leaving his nat

rushing out through the door after his
companion.
I'm his haste he did not see a water
trough at the edge of the sidewalk, and be
iell over it, rolling out into the dust OF the
roadway. He went toward the bay as fast
as he could run, when he picked himself
up, while his companion who fired the
four shots went toward Coma."
The police OF San Francisco and the
Sheriff of Sar Mateo County at Red wood

minutes afterward. Lieutenant Burke at

HAWAII WILL BE ANNEXED.

There is little doubt that Hawaii will
be a part and parcel of the United
States before the end of the present Re
publican administration. 1t is the key
to the Pacific. and the policy of Presi-
dent Harrison will be adopted by Pres
ident Mckinley as a proper Republican
precedent. The appointment of young
Sewall, whom Cleveland removed be-
cause of his efforts at annexation indi-
Gates such a policy. And now comes
Senator Morgan's amendment to the
civil appropriation bill Of $4,000 for
the improvement of Pearl harbor, the
only natural roadstead existing among
all the islands of the western ocean.
This splendid harbor was free gift
10 this government from Hawaii. and it
should lie improved and held. and Nor
gan's amendment is a step in that direc-
ton. The London Times says that as
naval outpost it will be of incalculable
value TO future commercial expansion
for the country that comes into its pos
session.
