FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims To Be a Benefactor To
Weakened Mankind.

There is always more or less sus-
piciOn attached to anything that is Of
fered free but sometimes a man so
ovsrfOws with generosity that he can
not rest until his discovery is known
to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has dis
covered. 1t Is upon this pricipal that
resident of Kalamazoo, Mich, de-
sires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them of any
form Of nervous debility; relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertain
ty which such men are peculiarly liza
bic to and restores the organs to nat
ural size and vigor. AS 1t costs moth
ing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man. suffering with the
Pervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize
what might be the final result, ought
to be deeply interested In a remedy
which will restore them 70 health,
strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence of
untold misery. AS the remedy In
question was the result Of many years
research as to what combination
would be peculiarly effective in restor.
ing to men the strength they need, II
would seem that all men suffering
with any form Of nervous weakness
ought to write for such a remedy at
once. A request to Fl. g. Odds, Box

are not sending for the prescription
out Of idle curiosity, but that you wish
to make use Of the medicine by giving
1t trial, will he answered promptly
and without evidence as TO where in,

The prescription is sent free, and al.
though some may wonder how Mr.
Odds can afford to give away his dis.
covery, there is no doubt about the
offer being genuine. Cut this out and

went on in New York when Miss Muir

here to put an Indian baby on the same
level as an infant hippopotamus, but
the public takes the same kindly in

Hundreds of letters are received daily
by the newspapers, suggesting names
for the pappoose. Most of them are
either inelegant, inappropriate or vul-

Mrs. Dewa, mother of the pappoose
is willing to consult the great pale face
public, and thanks it for the interest
shown her offspring. She expects to
make something out of it. But she
thinks he should have a dignified name

HUBBARD IS PROMOTED.
Elected First Vice-President of
the Southern Pacific
Company.
George Crocker Unanimously Chosen
for the Second Vice
Presidency.

The long-expected happened yesterday
when the directors of the Southern Pa
cifc Company formally elected General
Thorn as H. Hubbard OF New York to the
office of first vice. president, made vacant
several months ago by the death OF
Colonel Fred Crocker.
General Hubbard was second vice. presi-
dent at the time of his promotion. George
Crock er, brother of the deceased colonel,
was unanimously elected second vice
president. to succeed General Hubbard.
This was the only business transacted
at the meeting, and it was largely a mat
ter of form, for it seems 10 be traGiuon
of the railroad building that elections
take place at G. P. Hun ting tons dlrec ion,
and bis preference is as good as a unani-
nous vote.
General Hubbard, it is thought, will re-
main in New York, where he has much
other business requiring his personal at
tention, but III. E. Huntington has, since
ColoneI Crocker's death, been attending to
the duties of the vice presidency, in addi-
ton to his own many cares as assistant
to his uncle, the absent G. p. Hunting
ton, ana he may continue to do extra SER
vice in order that the new vice. president,
as we'll as the president, may reside in the
East.
II. E. Huntington, however, gives it out
that Z. z. Huntington purposes to come to
California TO live. He wishes to spend
more OF his time here.

High School than There were year ago,
before the appOintmen of the extra
teachers. Miss Burns is the present i'm
media'e cause OF trouble, for there is not
only no need for her service, but there is
no room wherein she could teach, even if
there were pup requiring her aid. She
has been placed IN the library, where the
900 books peacefully rest on The shelves,
aud occasionally is called upon 10 relieve
some other teacher for d short time.
II became rumorei some weeks ago
that the Grand jury was going TO make
an investigation of matters and things
about the public school,, and Just at that
time, of course, 1t must have been a mere
coincidence, Miss Burns had a short vaca-
lion of week or So but now that the in
Veslgatlon is over, she is back a. her post
answering to rollcali regularly. Whether
she Will be bic 10 draw her salary or not
is another question, because il is reported
that nelther uperintendent Webster nor
President harrington will sign the war
rants when payday comes around.
+. V. Head, member of the Board of
Education, said yesterday that this con-
dltlon wa due to the fact that the schools
OF the city were being run In the in terests
OF individuals rather than OF the public.
He greatly deplored the condition of III.
Girls High School, because that institu-
Ilon had always been the pride OF the civ
and of the board. He also hoped that the
people would become fully aroused to the
conditions that prevailed in the schools
and remem Der them when it came the
time 10 elect another set of Directors. He
cited as another instance of how the peo-
pies money was being wasted the fact
ihat teacher ha been appointed 10 the
Lowell High School who had nothing to
do but report regularly every morning
and draw his salary at the enI of the
month. This Condition had also been
cal ed 10 the attention of the board, bnt
