THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREATMENT
FOR HEAkfESS OF MEN.
WHICH CURED HIM AFTER EVERY
THING ELSE FAILED,

Painful diseases are bad enough but when a
man is slowly wasting away with nervous
weakness the mental forebodings are ten
times worse than the most severe pain. There
is no let up to the mental suffering day or
night. Sleep is almost i'm possible and under
such strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For years the writer rolled and
tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness
until 1t was question whether he had not
better take dose of poison and thus end all
his throubles. But proyidential inspiration
came TO his aid In the shape of q com bination
of medicines that not only completely restored
the general health, but enlarged his weak,
emac1sted parts to natural size and vigor and
he now declares that any man who will take
the trouble TO send his name and address may
have the method OF this wonderful treatment
free. Now, when say free mean absolutely
without cost, because want every weakened
man 70 get the benefit of my experience,
am not philanthropist, nor do I pose as
an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men
suffering the mental tortures of weakened
manhood who would be cured st once could
they but get such a remedy as the one that
cured me. Do not try to study out how can
AFFORD to pay the few postage-stamps necessary
to mail the information, but send for ii and

that, although they cost nothing to get, are

asking questions about peculiar trans
actions of this kind in the public service,
has evinced such a lively interest in Nor
gan e. Co.'S contract.
They are anxious to learn why the con-
tract was awarded by the Board of Educa-
ton to the highest bidder in the first in
stance, and in the second why plan of
heating was adopted that could not be
made to conform to the architects plans
for the building.
In the midst of their search for informa-
tion thev detailed committee to go round
to the offices of the Board of Education to
secure the plans left there on file by the
contracting company as required by a
paragraph of their contract, and the COM
mittee was informed that Morgan & Co.
had withdrawn the copy of the plans and
that therefore the jury could not see
them.
The effect of this, as might be guessed,
was to whet the curiosity of the jury.
They will insist upon seeing the original
specifications, the architects plans, Nor
gan d Co.'s plans and all the other plans
and bids. They will insist upon knowing
all about this odd transaction.
A number of with sses were heard on
Friday in the matter, among them being
w. B. Webster. representing w. w. Mon
tague & Co., w. Cronin, the Novelty Iron
Company, J. G. Grannis & Co., a. E. Cross
and George 81. Tay & Co. The matter will
be pursued further this week.

The other day there was a sharp little

Mr.. Reed was at great pains to make his

that clear Interpretation OF the English

"The Interpretation may not be correct

BRIGRT'S PROPERTY.
Judge Hebbard Decides That He Has
Right to Get 1t Back From
HE


Judge Hebbard has given judgment for
the plaintiff in the case OF Robert Bright
against his sister, Mrs. Mary Craig. The
testimony showed that Mr.. Bright decided
his property to Mrs. Craig because he be-
o ieved that he was dying.
Bright grew better and demanded the
return Of his property many times, but
. his 'sister refused. On April Is, 1896, a
formal demand was made on her and re-
fused, and tnen he commenced suit. Mrs.
craig showed that she had expended som G
OF the money for him and had paid some
taxes, but the amount was uncertain. She
thought 1t was about $1,000.
Judge Hebbard cited section 1149 of the
Civil Code. which reads: "a gift in vie "
OF death Is one which Is made in contem-
piatlon, lear or peril of death, and with
intent that 1t shall take effect only in case
of the death of the giver."
Section ll50 is as follows: "a gift made
during the last illness of the liver, or un-
der circumstances which would naturally
impress him with an expectation of
speedy death, is presumed to be a gift in
view of death"
Section ISL provides that a gift in view
OF death may be revoked by the giver any
time.
The evidence shows" said Judge Heb
pard, that the case Is within these sec
uons, and plaintiff is therefore entitled TO
a recovery of his property"
he ordered that decres be entered in
favor OF the plaintiff for the real estate

LITTLE BROWN MEN
I STAY At HOME
japanese Have About Ceased
Coming TO the United
States.
They See Better Chances in Their
e.: Own Country Than in This
Republic.
The Wages of House Servants Continue
High and ThoS N W Here Keep
Up Prices.

Local observers of the Japanese question
have discovered that immigration from
Japan has almost ceased. Whether this
fact is due to the Chinese war or to other
causes no one has yet discovered. 1t is
believed, however, that the Japanese en-
pire offers superior inducements to its
subjects now. and that the revival of the
arts ard sciences at home is highly attrac-
tive to the "httle brown men" whose am
bitions in the past led them to try their
fortunes in America.
. Immigration Commissioner Stradley
has Just received the annual report OF the
Commissioner-GeneraI of immigration.
II shows a great decline in the migration
of japanese from their own country.
The report of 1895 gave rise 10 fears that
\ the Kobe Emigration Company OF Japan
would succeed in inducing many thou
sands of Japanese TO desert their own
country and come to America, but the ex-
perience of the past two years has re-
moved ali such fears.
The Commissioner of immigration says
in his report for 1896:
The total arrivals of Japanese in this
country during the fiscal year, made up OF sol
at the port of San Francisco. 400 through Vic
toria, B. C., and SO by ether routes, were ITO,
a adecrease o 40 as compared with the figures
for i S95. ! believe that the japanese in this
country are decreasing in number, and that
the apprehension of a large migration from
Japan TO the United States was without founda-
70 1lon, the Kobe Partnership Emigration Com
. pany having failed in its purpose OF inducing
many of the Mikado's lbjects TO transfer their
residence to the United States.
The result o. the decrease in immigra-
ton is already felt in a general wav in
San Francisco. Two years ago the influx
OF Japanese was SO great that they threat
ened TO run servant girls out of the City.
Wages were low and were steadily on the
down grade, because the young Japanese
were all am bilious to learn English and
we're willing 70 do chores and h0usework
for heir board, or little more, and the
privilege of attending night school for an
hour or so each evening. There was com.
petition among them for places, and the
s tendency OF wages was ever downward
-. Inquiry among various employment
60 agencies yesterday showed that ths prices
oi Japanese as house s.rvants are not
Lover than they were, but there is ten
lency 10 a rise in wages.
The Japanese of this City have newspa-
Ters and they are not slow IN the study OF
such social problems as pertain to their
own welfare and wages. News still cones
from Japan OF revival of industry, and
the prospects are that there will be de-
q. crease OF japanese Immigration until good
times in Japan give way to an industrial
depression.

SYMPATHY FOR INDIA
G7nerous Assistance for the
3 Starving and Plague
Stricken.
Inc Southern Pacific in the Role of
Samaritan in a Transporta.
tion Play.

The Chamber of Commerce ia iubilant
over the responsive chord it struck in the
public breast when a mass meeting wa /,
called to aid the famine-s STRICKEN districts
of India.
Promises of subscriptions ara fairly
pouring in, not only from the interior -
this State, but from all the Pacific States
as we'll. Several came from as far East as
Ogden, and the indications are that ere
long the matter will be widely taken mn
by all the Eastern States "P
In many cases kilograms of encoursoa.
ment have been received. One was ,e M
by the Mayor of Ogden himself.
Such progress has been made that in a
short time it is expected a ship will be
chartered to convey substantial assistance
to the sufferers. Application was m ade to
the Southern Pacific Company by George
w. McNear as to how much transporta.
ton would be given free. The matter was
duly considered, and yesterday morning
the answer was returned that the company
would transport 1000 tons Of grain free t.
this City for shipment to India. The only
proviso made was that other companIe:
. having lines In territory where Southern
Pacific lines did not reach, would also
agree to transport the same freight free.
This effectually disposes of all trouble
this side of OgdenTand it is belIeved tha
other com panies will come forward with
such proffers of aid as to entirely solve the
problem of transportation. Fully $4,000, j
is estimated, will be saved by this offer o.
the Southern Pacific Company.
