FREE TO EVERY MAN
The Method of a Great Treat
ment for Weakness of Men
Which Cured Him After Everything
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 impossible and under
such a strain men are scarcely respons-
ible for what they do. For years the
writer rolled and tossed on the troubled
sea of sexual weakness until it was a
question whether he had not better take
a dose of poison and thus end all his
troubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid in the shape of a combi-
nation of medicines that not only COM
pletely restored the general health. but
enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to
natural size and vigor. and he now de-
clares 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
I mean absolutely without cost, because
1 want every weakened man to get the
benefit of my experience.
am not philanthropist, nor do pose
as an enthusiast, but there are thou
sands of men suffering the mental tor
lures of weakened manhood who would
be cured at 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 1t.
and learn that there are few things on
earth that although they cost nothing to
get they are worth fortune to some
men and mean life-tinle of happiness
to most of us. Write to Thomas Slater,

CALIFORNIA LEGISLATORS
Will Convene for Business on Monday
Morning Next
There Are About Six Office e-Seekers to
Every Member of the Legislature.
Some Senatorial Speculation

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 2.-Tonight the
capital city is crowded with members
of the legislature. which is to open next
Monday, and with applicants for office.
There are about six office-seekers to one
member and the report of the commit
tee suggested by the last legislature to
suggest a plan for reducing the number
of attaches will be buried in the early
part of the proceedings. While the leg
islature will open on Monday, vigorous
fight will be made to delay organization
on account of the senatorial fight. OF
course the Perkins men will resist the
no contest worthy of consideration.
They are saying that the senator will
practically have no opposition. Despite
those sanguine declarations, however,
strong opposition against Senator Per-
kins is coming to the surface. S. M.
Shortrdge, whose fight is being handled
by c. M. Shortridge of the Call, is cut
ting an important figure in the contest
The name of Irwin c. Stump is frequently
mentioned in connection with the con-
test. Frank L. Coobs of Napa will un-
doubtedly be the speaker of the assem-
bly, Brewster c. Kenyon of Long Beach,
Los Angeles county, was well to the
front for that position, but, it is said, he
agreed to step aside and help Coobs, who
wants the speakership to use as a lev
erage to again lift him into the position
of minister to Japan. Kenyon has been
agreed upon as the temporary speaker.
S. J. Duckworth practically has no OPP
position for the position of chief clerk of
the assembly, and Frank Brandon, it
appears, will again be clerk of the SEN
ate. 1t is said that the Southern Cali
fornia members and those of Alameda
county have entered into combine to
control legislation.
This afternoon there was meeting of
editors in the supreme court room to
discuss proposed legislation in the in
tere.ats of newspapers. There were
representatives present from the Cali
fornia Press association, the Sacramento
Valley Press league and the Southern
California Press association. 1t was
decided to take some action to amend
the libel laws, and to take from the
boards of supervisors the matter of fix
ing rates for legal advertising.
There was also an important meeting
of physicians to discuss a proposed bill
to establish a state lunacy commission.
The object of the commission Is to ex-
ercise a general supervision over all the
insane asylums of the state-in other
words, to consolidate the management.
Asylum superintendents ana several
members of the senate and asseb!y
were present at the conference.

LABOR'S RIGHTS
Welsh Workmen Fight for the Right to
Combine

NEW YORK, Jan. "A special cable
gram to the Evening Post from London
says: Wales has been this week the
scene of most interesting struggle of
labor against the uttermost rights of
property. Not deferred by the victory
of the trade unionism over the London
and Northwestern railway, Lord Pen
rhyn pettishly shut down his slate
quarry rather than, as he says, "estab-
lish a precedent for outside interference
with my private affairs" He first dis
missed seventy-one men because they
formed a committee to secure better con-
ditions of labor, whereupon 200 men
left work.
The board of trade, under the volun-
tary conciliation act offered frinedly
mediation, but Lord Penrhyn declined
and closed the quarries, throwing 5000
men out of work in the depths of WIN
ter. This defiance of parliament prob
ably will lead to an attempt next ses-
sion to pass a law compelling employers
to accept the mediation of the govern
ment. The progress of public opinion
on labor questions is shown by the fact
that Lord Penrhyn is almost without
support in the press. The Chronicle
today opens q fund for the defense of
their right to combine

A CUT IN WAGES.
Which VIII Include the Men Drawing
Fancy Salaries.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-The Illinois Steel
company cut wages today of all en-
pleyes from the highest salaried officers
down to the rawest recruits in the mill,
with the exception of workmen with
whom the company has contracts. The
men were told the amount of the reduc-
ton had not yet been agreed upon, but
the cut, which might be anywhere from
25 to 40 per cent, would go into effect on
February.
The employees at the Bay View mills in
Milwaukee have received a similar no.
tice. AS a sample of the cut, 1t is stated
that some of the executive members of
the firm, who have been drawing $4,000
year, will have to get along with $500.
The cause of this reduction is said to be
a general fall in prices.

learned from reliable sources al the Iron

were swept away. A visit to the Iron
Mountain telegraph office tonight cor
roborated the news of the storm and the
property loss. An operator says that
wires for distance of several miles were
blown down. Three squads of inemen
