of several gentlemen who are waiting
for the West Texas marshalship per-
simmon to drop. is in the city, attend
ing his brother-ir-law, Mr.. Merriam
of Sinner. Mr.. Siebrecht was Gale
to the city to be at the bedside of his
relative, who is now undergoing an
operation at Santa Rosa Infrmary
Incidentally, Mr. Sieb~echt hiss sbak en-
hands with his fellow republicans of
the fa~ ton with which he is affiliated.
and snapped with lem assurances of
success in his race for the marshal
ship.
81 do not look for action in the mat

| Siebrecht to repre- sentative for the
Express at the. Mahncke last night,
''until congress meets, and the action
will surely come"

report ,tb at a compromise had bee n
suggested based on the appointment of

John B. Walter, the present chief
deputy in the United States marsbal's
office, and candidate for the appoint

winr ing man in the race. He says he
sees no possibility of a compromise,
for "while factions may fuse on men,

He stated that the nearest approa III
to compromise that he had heard of

A recent expedition to Greenland by
two scientists of the Smithsonian 1nsti-
tute at Washington, ID. g., has returned
laden with the spoils of most interesting
discoveries. They brought back from
Greenland the fossil remains Of plants
and trees that grow only in "A tropical
climate. to-wit, giant tree ferns re-
sembling the fossil ferns of Brazil, fossil
remains of the red wood tree which still
grows in California, and the Australian
Eucalyptus. These fossils bear testimony
to the fact that Greenland at one time
had an atmosphere as gentle and n
climate as mild as the Bermudas. and
that the change in the climate is attribut-
able to the change in the angle of the
earth's axis, throwing the slanting rays
Of the sun more and more upon Green

The Survival Of the fittest' was per-
haps never better illustrated than tho
failure of the Sun, misnamed daily
newspaper, lately started in Nashville,
Tenn, to break down the Nashville Ameri-
can. The democracy of the American
was not sufficiently lurld to suit a class
of democrats in Nashville, and they got
,,,.cther and started the Sun to suppant
the American.
The first mistake the managers of the
Sun made was to disregard newspaper
talent supposing that wealth was an all
sufficient substitute, and the second mis-
take was to disregard all the proprieties
of the conduct of n newspaper and pub
ish anything that came to the mill,
whether true or not, but the main mis-
take was to suppose that because few
democrats were dissatisfied with the poll
tics of the American that the new ven
ture could weed it out. After spending
oceans of money the Sun has turned its
little toes up to the daisies, and the
American pursues the even tenor of
its way, refreshed and reinvigorated by
the reaction in its favor.

NATURE MEANT 1T.

When Nature Put Iron Into Our Blood
She Meant 1t.
She didn't do it for fun. 1t wasn't an ac-
cident.
Our bodies need iron or we would never
find it in the blood. in the gastrict juice,
in the chyle, in the lymp. in the bile, in
the pigment of the eye. in the milk and
in other natural secretions of the body.
What is iron for? 1t is for strength.
1t is food. 1t is necessary for certain
processes of living.
The want of it makes us sick.
How can we tell the want of it?
Paleness is a sign. Weakness, thin
ness. general debility, depression. nerv-
BUSINESS, rheumatism. chills, ague and
lack of ambition and vitality.
Al these mean the want of iron.
People who are always ailing. who
catch cold and other diseases easily, who
/ suffer from aches and pains, who are too
weak to work and too depressed to enjoy
life-such people need iron. Do you?
Many remedies for all these ills con-
tain drugs and minerals that are never
found in the body unless put there Can
they be natural?
Better take medicine containing in
gradients which nature uses herself in
building ND the body.
You wouldn't patch up an iron building

DYNAMITE IN DALLAS.
Fireworks Seriously Injure IL Young
Man Yesterday.

Dallas, Tex. Dec 25.-(Special)-
Giavanio Roszio, a young Italian. was
leaning against the bar in Il saloon Fri
day night when stick of dynamite
was hurled into the saloon by a party
on the outside. The dynamite exploded
close to young Roszio. He was struck
on the left side of the face and fright
fully mangled, the eyeball being torn
from its socket and the flesh from the
bones. While celebrating Christmas
with fireworks on st. Paul between Com
merce and Main streets today, Chas.
Porter. aged II, had an accident that
may cause him to lose the sight of
both his eyes. He had thrown aside as
worthless a coatrivance called a flower
pot after the fuse had burned to within
a short distance of the powder and gone
out, and picking up a star stick, lit the
fuse and waved it around over his head,
sparks of fire falling in showers around
him. One of these sparks re-ignited the
charred stump of the fuse of the flower
pot and caused it to explode within a
few feet of his head. His face was
terribly burned by the powder and was
covered with a big blister. At first the
doctor declared he would lose his sight,
but later said there was small chance
for recovery without this misfortune.

Joe Jefferson, the actor, never forgets
his lines, but his memory of names often
plays him scurvy tricks. He, however,
is an extremist in this respect, as he for
got his own name on one occasion when
he called for his mail in small town
on the route on professional tour. The
postmaster asked, "what nameT JEFF
fersOn, thinking about something else
just ut that time, said: Name! Good
gracious, | don't know. Let me think.
Why, / am to play Rip Van Wrinkle at
your town hall tonight" 'Joe Jeffer-
son." suggested the postmaster. Yes"
said Jefferson, thanks"
1t is quite natural that memory of
names fail with the advance of years. The
memory may be impaired, and often is,
us the failure of old people to remember
names illustrates, long before the reason
ing powers lose any of their vigor. A
name may be forgotten, however, by one
whose ability to reason is much stronger
than in one who never forgets u name.

The wife of Gen. Ballington Booth of
the American branch of the Salvation
Army is said to be dying in New York
City from aneurism of the heart, or, in
other words, a broken heart. Gen. Booth
attributes her illness to prosecutions di-
rected against her by some of the highest
officers of the old Salvation Army. 1t is
said that she is extremely sensitive, and
that the ISLANDERS perpetrated against her
by these rival Salvationists have touched
her to the quick, and are about to be fatal
in their consequences.
We believe what is called religious
hate" which in itself is paradox, is the
most bitter and vindictive of all other
causes of hate, and if this is true, as Gen.
Ballington Booth claims it is, it will ma
terially, injure the efficiency of the En-
glish branch of the Salvation Army in
this country, although it is fair to say
that the Booth who is at the head of the
latter Salvation Army in this country de-

throughout the period of time that
the affairs of the Chestnut Street Ma

vision the conditions have from time to

seem to be better than another time with

allied commercial interests were in the
question to be dealt with, and that ques

mind the creation of the least disturb

sible, saving the bank to the share-hold

Operators Conference.

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 2S.-The oper-
atives' conference committee was in ses-
sion two hours tonight after an executive
committee meeting of the various unions.
Secretary Mcdonald gave out the follow
ing resolution, which had been unani-
mously adopted by the committee:
Resolved, That we accept the reduc-
ton, as it would not be good business pol
icy on our part to enter into strike at
present, but we inform our employers
that as soon as we think there is mar
gin of profit sufficient for the restoration
of the present scale we shall demand it
even if we have to 90 to the extremity of
leaving our employment by going on
strike"
The feeling among the leaders tonight is
strong against the reduction. While the
committee offers the resolution there is a
possibility they will not accept. The
spinners, slasher tenders and loom fixers
especially talk strike, and it is possible
that they may so vote at the meeting on
Thursday night.

The New Orleans Picayune is authority
for the statement that "the rose that
has thorn keeps sweet the longest. y
That suggests an ideu that has often
been verified by observation, and that
is that the most disagreeable persons can
be the most agreeable when he or she
chooses. How often it is the case that
the man or woman who keeps home
in hot water is the wit and favored
guest of the most brilliant society, that
the sourest man or woman about the
home fireside is the sweetest to the pub
lie. The most brilliant conversationalist
that we ever knew was morosc and al
most dumb Mt home. The most liberal
man we ever knew to strangers, man
who would insist on giving stranger
anything belonging to him that the
stranger admired but who would grumble
with any one at home for taking match
from his match safe. These contradic-
tons are too numerous to be exceptional
and sufficiently numerous to be the gen
eral rule.
