A BLOODY RECORD.
-Four Persons Killed In Loss than an Hour
by One Train.


AUSTIN, Tex, July 17.-At 2 a. m. a
freight train in the l.. e G.. n. yards
here ran over four white boys who
were sitting on the side of the track
asleep, killing three of them instantly
and badly wounding the fourth. The
three killed were:
John Bridges, Is years, of Fit. Worth.
Charles Sweeney, 13 years, of Fit.
Worth.
L. Montgomery, 10 years, of Fit.
Worth.
Injured, Henry Estis, 16 years, Ft.
Worth.
The train ran over these boys as it
came into the yard. On leaving, a
negro named L. Z. Cox, of Waco, who
had attempted to grab a brake bar to
steal a ride, lost his hold and fell under
the cars, being mangled into an usrec
ognizable pulp. This record of four
deaths in less than an hour by one
train is unparalleled in the yards at
this point.

Hinta to Hunters.

To get good results in any kind of shoot
ing, uniform, reliable ammunition is abso-
lutely necessary. Experience has taught
the most successful hunters that it pays to
always use ammunition made by the Win
chester Repeating Arms Co., New Haven,
Ct, as it is u~nequalled for accuracy, RELIABLE
ity, uniformity and strong shooting quail
ties. Winchester ammunition can be bought
everywhere as it is in great demand all over
the world. Like Winchester guns, it is the
standard of the world. 1t costs no more
than inferior makes and it is a thousand
times better. Send for q large illustrated

Southern West Virginia Going Over to the
strikers.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, July 16.-There
is a decided change in the coal fields OF
southern West Virginia, and it is now
stated for an absolute certainty that
inside of 50 hours a majority of all the
miners ON the n. & w. and Chesapeake
& Ohio railroads will join the strike.
The organizers are now in both
fields and in the latter the Chesapeake,
Belmont and Black Cat mines are now
idle, the miners, 600 in number, going
out at yesterday. The n. &. w.
miners are still at work, but the strike
representatives are confident that
matters will come their way in a short
time.
On the Kanawha yesterday all oper-
ators raised the price of mining one
fourth of a cent a bushel on soft and
one-half cent on hard coal, but it is
believed this will not hold the men in
line.

SACRAMENTO, CAL. Jan. 10.-After a
week of fog and damp. almost freezing
air, a Sacramento winter Sunday has
dawned upon the few visitors, left here in
a double sense, and has exchanged the
tuie fogs for q cloudy sky and light
breeze, so raw and cutting that even the

doors and telling the shivering stranger
that this is an exceptional season, and
that Sacramento has more sunny days

SHoRTRIDGE GAINS DAILY.
Men Who Feared to Antagonize
Perkins Are Now in Open
ReUnlt


SACRAMENTO. CAL, Jan. 10.-The
sentiment against the reelection of
George C. Perkins to the United States
Senate is hourly growing stronger, and as
a result Shortridge stock is perceptibly
advancing. The BALLOT next Tuesday will
be q surprise to those people who have
accepted the talk of Perkins strength as
truth. Men who were on the fence few
days ago, fearing TO antagonize a candi-
date who was regarded as strong and
powerful, now speak their opposition
openly.
A time-honored Republican who is not
slated for Federal Office said tonight:
81 have read Perkins letter 20 Waymire
and l declare that it is insulting. The idea
that Waymire should be excluded from
the cabinet because he is poor shows in
what light Perkins holds those who are
not rich. predict that there will be a
poor mans ticket nominated for every
State Office at the next general election.
The people will cast about for some effec-
tive way of resenting this Insult which
Perkins has cast on the poor men OF Cali
fornia.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Jan. 10.-To-day's
Mercury contained the following: State
Senator H. V. Morehouse returned home
from Sacramento yesterday for a two
days visit. In the hot fight for United
States Senator now being waged at the
Capital, Senator Morehouse is an enthusi-
astic supporter of Samuel M. Shortridge.
and he is very hopeful of the latter's ulti-
mate success.
"The chances of Samuel NJ. Shortridge,"
said Senator Morehouse yesterday after
noon, ''are growing brighter every day.
The Perkins managers are making great
claims and lots OF noise, but it is case of
whistling to Keep up courage The real
facts of the case are that they are alarmed
over the present status of affairs. There
is great deal OF feeling against Perkins at
the Capital. His betrayal OF his lifelong
friend, Judge Waymire, in the matter OF
Endorsement for Cabinet position has
lost the present Republican United States
Senator many adherents.
The claim of the Perkins managers
that they had sixty Senators and Repre-
sentatives III their caucus is baseless. They
had just fifty-seven members all told. The
general sentiments is that unless such
meeting has enough members present to
carry out its action it is not caucus. As
there were not the necessary sixty-one
mem bers present several who were in
the caucus do not consider themselves
bound to vote for Perkins and have come
over to Shortridge.
I'VE have now fourteen votes sure for
Shortridge, and there is every indication
that we will have twenty on the first bal
lot next Tuesday. Perkins only hope is
to secure enough Democratic Senators
and Representatives to swell his vote to
the required sixtY-one. 1t is my opinion
that this hope will be blasted, as l have
been informed that the Democratic men,
bers have held a conference and have
agreed to vote only for members of their
own party.
''All we have to do is to prevent the
election of Perkins on the first ballot,
when his vote will be at the maximum,
because a number of mem bers were in
structed to support him by the conven-
tions that nominated them. On the Sec
ond ballot the friends of Wavmire will
break away from Perkins and the vote of
shortridge will be materially increased.
The third ballot will in all probability
witness a breaking up of the Perkins
forces, as the instructed mem bers, having
fulfilled their obligation. will then exer-
else their own choice. This will be the
great opportunity for Shortridge, and
believe that the efforts in his behalf will
be successful.

cut, manly and aggressive. based solely on

THE PERKINS SLATE.
Apportionment Of Patronage as
Planned by the Man In

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 10.-There
was much tribulation in the ranks of the
faithful after the arrival of the last train
tonight, when it was learned that Sena-
tor Perkins slate had been made public
through an unfortunate leak on the part
OF one of its custodians. The path of poll
tics sometimes meanders through dark
and narrow ways, and the slate is of itself
a map of those ways.
The friends of Eli Denison are furious.
They had speculated somewhat hereto
fore as to the reason why Colonel Stone
seemed so close to Billy Hamilton, man
ager for Senator Perkins, and why Colonel
Stone was spending his time and breaking
his neck for Perkins, but the slate of
which the following is copy, tells the
story:
For Superintendent of the
NIint-COIOneI George Stone.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 10. The
Perkins slate leaked out late tonight
and created commotiOn in the ranks Of
the Perkins following, where it was
found that Colonel George Stone was to
walk into the superintendency of the
Mint over the PROSTATE political corpse
of Senator Denison of Alameda.
Senator Perkins seems to have con-
ceived a strong antipathy toward the
representative men of his own county.
First it was Waymire who was thrown
down. Now it is Senator DenisOn.
Letters and teIegrams from all p arts
of the State continue flowing in to the
Legislators, saying that their consritu-
ents are not for Perkins and that they
want man of brains and energy like
Samuel NJ. ShOrtrid ge to represent this
great State in the United st ates Senate.

Alameda County Committee. When Red
field Proctor came out to brace up Repub-
icans with the sinews of war G. N. FELTON,
offered to give $4,000 If Perkins would con-
tribute like sum. Perkins pleaded pow
erty; said he had lost money in the steam
ship business and could not help the
party. 1t was then that John D. Spreckels
came forward with $1,000.
Perkins is making his fight to-day on
promises of Federal patronage. The old

thing"

eral patronage are inquiring why Colonel
Stone and the other colonels should
be placed above Senator Denison and the
rest. They claim that they have done
ten times more for Senator Perkins and
the party than the preferred colonies, and
they are perspiring in the neighbo rhood
of the collar about IT.

A mans health is an easy thing
to lose. A little care and the right
medicine make it easy to regain
lost health. Neglected disease
breeds death. Over work, expos
ure, wrong eating, wrong living
generally may engender disease.
Symptoms vary, but by far the
majority of diseases are marked by
a loss of vitality, a wasting of
flesh. The lungs and the stomach
suffer. Disease germs enter the
system through these two or
gans.
Recovery means driving out the
germs and building up strong,
