Isn't it pity that so many women go
through life as nervous, fretful invalids, al
ways in sick bed or on the verge of it.
They are to be sincerely pitied for the
great maj ajority have in them the making of
healthy anliable, capable wives and moth
ers. These cases become sadder still when
it is realized that the sufferings they endure
are unnecessary. Amy woman can be healthy
and amiable and helpful if she will take care
of the health Of those delicate organs that
are essentially feminine.
The greatest known medicine for women
is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t
cures all weakness and disease of the or
gans that make wifehood and motherhood
possible. 1t allays Inflammation, soothes
pain, and restores calm and strength to the
shattered nerves. It prepares for wifehood
and maternity. Over 90, 900 women have
testified to its virtues. Druggists sell it.
Il commenced using your medicine three days
after my child was born" writes Mrs A. ]. Bry
ant of Wilbraham, Ha1npden Co, Mass. (care of
Wesleyan Academy It was the fourth one
and never got up so strong and well can do
all my own work. I have commended my
friends to try the Favorite Prescription ="
If somebody was offering to give away
gold mines for the asking what scrambling
there would be When a mine of health is
offered there is some lively scrambling too.
Over oSo 600 people hurried to get Doctor
Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser at
SIS per copy. 1t has I,oo8 pages with over
900 illustrations. Something over 90 of these
pages relate to diseases peculiar to women.
This book may now be had free. Send II
one-cen. stamps, to Worlds Dispensary
Medical Association, Buffalo, NY, the cost
of mailing only, and get the book in paper
covers or, send 81 cents for cloth binding.

The Good Roads Issue.

tSan francisco Chronicle, Feb. ID, 1897 }
In leading article ON State high
ways the Call" objects to the plan of
building such thoroughfares at State
expense, on the ground that the pro
rata cost would fall upon all localities.
while the roads would only benefit the
comparatively small section through
which they ram Beside imposing a
burden upon this city the Cali thinks
that the project would be of special
injury to counties that have all the
roads of their own which their trans
portation needs require
But our contemporary did not always
take this view. In the Cali of Feb
ruary 4, 1896, appeared an article on
the highways proposal i'm which this
statement had much emphasis: 1t
would not be at all improper for the
State to assist With the cost of con-
struction and maintenance, for as the
road would benefit the whole State, in
Guiding the counties which it would not
touch, a sharing Of the expense would
be fair At another time the Calf
said that the State Bureau of High
ways, which was then formulating it's
steadily getting the matter of roads
into intelligent shape" shaking an
ominous finger at the stupid extrav-
a3ance which bad roads represent"
etc. In fact, up to Wednesday last
our contemporary was counted as one
of the supporters of the projected re-
form, and We see no reason why it
should have turned it's back upon pre-
viOus professions. 1t need not have
done so because of public opinion in
this city, for here the commercial value
of good interior roads is we'll under
stood; nor yet because of the interests
of counties which the improvement
would not reach. These counties know
what they want, and If they are not in
favor of a State road system they have
been misrepresented by their Super
visors. When. at the State Conven-
tion of Supervisors held at San Jose
on May II, 1896, a resolution favoring
State roads, to be built and main
tanned by the State at large" was pre-
sented, every Supervisor but two voted
IN favor of it. That was the straw
which showed pretty conclusively
which way the public opinion of even
the outside counties was running.
The record-union., 1897-02-20

The San Francisco "Chronicle'' is
merciless. 1t has done a cruel. though
just thing for all that. 1t quotes it's
contemporary, the Call" early in the
month and late in the month on the
same subject, namely, the good roads
question, and shows that with the be-
ginning and the close of the short
month"; our contemporary, the Call -
shifts its opinion from one to the op-
posite point of the compass. Early in
the month it held that State aid in
construction and maintenance of high
ways, with fair share of cost on all the
counties, whether touched by the high
way or not, is the proper policy. But
with the outgoing of the month it de-
nounceS that doctrine as inequitable.
unjust and worthy of all condemnation
because a county mas no interest in a
road outside Of it's bounds. We repub-
lish the Chronicles criticism of this
journalistic weathercock that its full
application may be appreciated by our
readers. The Call" by the way, is
the chaste and refined journal that per-
mits its writer's to speak of other pa
pers in terms that are beneath the taste
and courage Of the foulest tongue of the
Barbary Coast

PRESIDENTS PRIVATE CAR.
The Chief Magistrate is to Have One for
Himself.
Car Builders Throughout the Union
to Build q Magnificent
Coach.

A movement has been inaugurated by
the Railroad Car Journal" a railway
publication published in New York, to
construct private car for the use of the
President of the United States when
travelling either in his official capacity
or on private business. The journal
says:
The President of the United States is
the only head of a great nation who
does not enjoy the facilities and prlvl-
leges of a private car. The executive
heads Of most other countries are usu-
ally very handsomely provided for IN
this respect, their private rolling stock
more often constituting complete tram
than only single car"
The argument advanced is that there
are many good reasons why car con-
structed for the exclusive use Of the
President would serve to advantage.
Agreeable to the custom now in force,
when the President desires to travel over
any railway, either on official or per-
sonal business, he is provided with a
special car, usually that of the President
of the road over which he travels, where
as, if such a car as it is propoS4 to
build We're at his disposal he would be
enabled to come and go at will, without
feeling under obligations to any railroad
or individual.
Then again, he would be in position
to enjoy absolute secrecy, which is
scarcely a possibility under his present
system OF travel.
1t is not intended, however, that this
car shall be built by the Government.
The idea is to have it constructed by the
car building industries and that it's fur
nishings and equipment be subscribed
by the many railway supply COM
panies. 1t is proposed to use the very
best and latest equipments, and that 1t
will be built by the most skilled car
builders, giving assurance that II built
the car will be the most magnificent and
substantial structure of the kind ever
run over a railroad track.
In order that there may be no sus-
picion of partiality and that no oppor-
tunity of advertising may be gained in
it's construction, a committee consisting
of about thirty prominent car-builders
on the different roads throughout the
United States have been asked to serve,
to not only decide on the interior equip
ment of the car, but to also draw up
plans and specifications for its building.
The plan is meeting with general
favor, and If carried to successful end
it will no doubt be, as the journal
states, the most perfect, complete and
handsome coach known in the annals of
the art of car building-a lasting monu-
ment to the skill, ingenuity, enterprise,
artistic sense and patriotism OF the
American mechanic and manufacturer.
Ben WEIGH of this city, Master Car
Builder for the Southern Pacific Com
pany, is a member of the committee haV-
ing in charge the matter of the building
of this car

The little dynamite cruiser VesuviuS
has certainly demonstrated that four
ships of war cannot, on a foggy night,
prevent a blockade runner entering
such port as that of Charleston, S. c.
In a fog, and not so heavy a one at
that, she ran silently and swiftly be-
tween the blockaders the other night,
and they knew nothing of her presence
until she sounded her whistle after
having passed the dead line. Later,
when the fog swept away, and more
ships We're on guard, the swift little
vessel was caught by the searchights
Charleston Harbor was under actual
blockade, and at that time real block
ade runners We're engaged in slipping
into and out of the harbor and the
large percentage succeeded. Then We
had no such ships of war as now, nor
were our searchlights such as electrical
science now give US, nor, indeed, had
we ships Of a character that could
guard nine mule line with so little
risk to themselves. The conditions of
to-day are SO greatly different from
those of thirty-four years ago that they
really bear slight resemblance The
blockade runners such as went out with
cotton and came in with arms and sup
plies at southern ports in the rebellion

In fact, with our swift cruisers and
gGnboats, powerful searchlights and
rapid fire and long range guns, and ar

appliances Of war, the blockade runner
takes chances unknown to that craft
thirty years ago.

Referring to the dredge proposition
and its cost, the Santa Rosa Press"
says: Not one dollar of this vast
amount will go to Sonoma or other
counties foreign to the Sacramento
River" That is a narrow, selfish, let
US say hoggish view of the matter. Not
dollar of the money appropriated to
conserve the interests of the State Uni
versity go to Sonoma or Sacramento,
or any other county except as the peO
pie thereof avail of the advantages the
university afford all the people. But
here is work for the benefit of naviga-
State, and yet an intelligence in Sono-
ma County opposes it on the ground
that the river does not flow in that
county. Indeed! Is this a government
of counties, or is this a State? Are we
one people or parcel of hogs in sep
arate pens? In the conservation of
navigation all the State is benefited.
Whatever builds up the industry Of
moving crops out and supplies in, Of
draining millions of acres that the
State taxes, OF preventing overflow and
disaster, does benefit and go into So
noma County. The prosperity of the
people of the great valley of the Sac
ramento is the prosperity of the peo-
pie of Sonoma. The prosperity of So
noma is benefit to every other county.
But then, we can only pity, not de-
spise the intelligence so narrow that it
that snarls at public work that does
not lay its tribute of benefits immedi-
ately at its own doorstep.
