Morrow's Method of Curing Diseases
Accusing the Interest of Scientists.

Physicians Of all schools are beginning TO
realize that the primary cause of nearly every
disease that attacks the human system Is the
failure of the kidneys to perform the duties
nature assigned them.
The Hood is constantly absorbing from the
different articles of food taken into the stom-
aeh, various impurities. which, II permitted
to course through the system, quickly render
the blood unfit to carry on the process Of
healthy nutrition and ultimately result in the
development of disease.
1t is the duty Of the kidneys to filter the
blood; the slightest irregularity in the per
fnrmance of this function is Immediately man
Tested in a general weakening of the body, a
tendency TO give out with little exertion, This
symptom is closely followed by others of much
more distressing nature which il is often Gus
tOmary to attribute to other causes
John MOrrow,an eminent chemist of ) ring
field Ohio, using as basis for his work the
theory that the kidneys are responsible for
the condition of our health, has produced a
new remedy which he has amad Morrow's
Kidneoids. the purpose of which is to act d.
rectly on the kidneys eliminating all unnatu.

HAVE GREAT POWERS.
An Important Decision Relative to the
Rnard of DentaI Examin ara

An Important Decision Relative to tn @
Board of Dental Examiners.
The Supreme Court has rendered a de-
cision of no little Importance relative to
the power of the Board of Dental Exam
iners OF the State of California.
John D. Van Week holds q diploma of
graduation from the American College OF
Dental Surgery of Chicago, issued on
April 2, 1894 A month later he came to
San Francisco ana presenting his diploma
to the State board asked for certificate
and license to practice the profession OF
mis- choice. The board refused to do so
and Van Week applied to the Superior
Court for a writ of mandate to compel the
State board to do as requested. In the
Superior Court Van Week was successful
and the board demurred, which demurrer
was overruied.
From this judgment the State board
appealed to the Supre me Court. This
tribunal held that the matter of issuing
certificates to petitioners either after ex-
aminations on certificates or diplomas
from colleges or schools is purely discre-
tionary, and that the standing of colleges
who issue diplomas and the rights OF
holders to their possession are.alsO for the
examiners to determine, and that such
decisions are necessarily conclusive and
final. In the concluding sentence the
court says: There is no ground for q
mandamus, and the order of the lower
court must be reversed and the same re-
manded with directions to sustain the de-
murrer."

cate, which bas for two years past been
bonding ali the property contiguous to
the road at Emeryville. Charles Smith,
who has a large interest in the road, Is
opposed 20 it's Deing absorbed by the SYM
dlcate. and consequently they nave tenn
porarily turned it over 10 him Tor the pur-
pose OF letting him try and sell it. In
the event of his not being able TO do so
he will probably let 1T go TO the syn
dicate.
In the face of all the circum stances it is
not at all unlikely that the Valley road,
If it shall come to Oakland, will be pre-
sented with the franchise OF the little
narTow-gauge road. Sucn AN event is not
at all i'm pro bic, for the presence of the
road would give to he thousands OF acres
bonded by the syndicate value such as
they will never have until through road
is built
F. M. Smith, the president of the syndi-
cate, was seen at his home in East Oak
land to-day and said that he was not in a
position to talk about the matter, but re-
ferred to Frank c. Havens, the manager
Tor the bora1 dealer.
Mr.. Havens staIed that the Valley road
Will naturally want to come to Oakland,
and that the syndicate wanted il to come
over the California and Nevada tracks.
I'VE have succeeded in getting this prop
erty, said Mr.. Havens, "because we
needed It.. few days ago we acquired j.
S. Emery's land at Emeryvlle and We
need railroad to make that land valua-
bic, ana we want that road operated.
Things are now in such shape that l do
not see how the Valley road can come
into Oakland any other way, and we in
tend to do everything in our power to
| make 1t TO the advantage of that road to
come over our line"

ley road, who lives in this City, is author

ments have yet been made with the Cali

For over two years the Realty Syndicate

f. G. Havens. E. A. Heron and others has
been quietly bonding every available lot
of land along the route of the little mar
row-gauge road. For a long time it has
been no secret that they were doing this
for the purpose of trying TO sell the road
to some other company and at different

that city, and establish another and COM
peting ferry service between Oakland and
San Francisco.
With this idea in view the conflicting
interests of the California and Nevada
Railroad have within the past week set
tied all their differences and have placed
their property in shape, 10 be readily dis
posed of without danger of future annoy
ing litigation. The property is now
in the hands of Charles II. Smith of Dem
yer, and there is a movement on foot
looking to the Oakland people 20 provide
for the purchase of the property in ques-
tion for the purpose OF offering 1t as a
bonus to the Valley road in order to in
duce the latter to come to that city at the
earliest possible day.
The California and Nevada Railroad ex-
tends from Emeryville, just within the
charter line of the city of Oakland. In a
huge loop to the north, to Bryant station,
Contra Costa County, distance OF about
twenty miles. 1t 10 d narrow-gauge line,
and has not.been operate for some time.
At one point it passes within Jour miles
OF Point Rich mond. As the property now
exists it will have little value to the Val
lev road, except as to its right of way,
and this is SO tortuous and of SO undesir-
able a grade in places that it will have to
be in large part changed should it come
into the possession of the Southern Pa
cific's great com mpetitor. Rails and ties
will have to come up and be replaced,
and even the mile OF rier built lnto the
bay at Emeryvllle will have to De re-
placed with new structure, extending al
least three miles from shore to secure q
sufficient depth OF water for ferry steam
ers. This alone, it is estimated, would In
volve an expenditure of three-quarters ol
a million dollars.
AS the bay terminus of the Caiifornia
and Nevada at Emeryville is just on the
northern boundary of the charter line OF
Oakland, provision in the shape OF street
car lines would have to be made for the
distribution of passengers on the other
side of the bay. At present the only
streetcar line that reaches Emeryvilie Is
the San Pablo avenue cars.
Emeryville, Berkeley and all the country
thereabouts would undoub bledly be greatly
benefited should the Valley road be in
duced to operate ferry line from Emery
Vile to San francisco. 1t is understood
that should the new road engage in the
undertaking there would be nothing hall
way about the enterprise-the service
would be first-class in every particular.
1t is reported that the Oakland COM
mittee which has been appointed TO treat
with the Valley road is already at work
seeking to secure possession of the Cali
fornia and Nevada Railroad. with the
The San Francisco call., 1897-03-30

times it has been published that the road
had been bonded by nearly every com.
pany that comes within thousand
miles of California.
OF course. now that the Valley road has
decided to come to Point Richmond, ad-
dItional interest is given 20 the little road
that comes down from a point not far from
Point Richmond right into Oakland. and
connects with the pier built three years
ago by f. NJ. Smith at Emeryville, anu
which has never yet been used except by
promenaders and fishermen.
The un, erstanding between the Smiths
is not very recent, having been made
some time ago, but since the definite loca-
ton of the Valley Railroad Company s
freight terminus at Point Richmond, at
tention has naturally been turned toward
the two streaks of rust that for long
time have marked the route OF the Cali
fornia anu Nevada.
As the road is in such q condition that
it would be an absolute impossibility for
the Valley road to run single car over it
until it was entirely rebuilt, it is not con-
sidered probable by those who know most
about such undertakings that the Valley
road would give single dollar for the
franchise.
There is at present pending confer
ence between prominent men OF Oakland
and President Spreckels of the Valley
road, at which the advent of that road in.
to Oakland is to be discussed. Il is con-
sidered absolutely certain that the Valley
road will demand at least a free right o1
way should il come to this city. 1t is now
in a better position 10 demand this than
ever, for the California and Nevada road
cannot be of service to any other road but
the Valley road, and as the syndicate has
declared it's anxiety that the Valley road
shall come through its property. it is moi
likely that they will want to see the ap.
probation of value of that property de.
layed any longer than is absolutely neces-
sary.
Taking all these circumstances into con-
sideration, it is seen that the Valley road
has not yet taken any action in the mat
ter; that the owners OF the California and
Nevada and the Realty Syndicate are very
anxious for the Valley people to come
into Oakland, and that 1t is hardly likely
that the Valley Railroad, knowing tae
value that is set upon its coming to this
city, will feel inclined to purchase any
right of way, especially as the most promi-
nent merchants and officials of Oakland
have already expressed their desire to
make a substantial offer should the road

It is touching picture of the home life
during the Civil War that Russ Whytal has
por rtrayed in his charming drama "For Fair
Virginia"
Bronson Howard and Gillette went to the
front for the stirring scenes in their war
dramas. Whytal with keen insight, stirs his
audiences with the strength and loyalty of the
women who suffered and prayed, counting the
heartbeats to the N utf1ed accompaniment of
the cannon's roar.
There is nothing startling, nothing a abso-
lutely new in this war drama. 1t is simply IL
charming story of love and devotion charm
ingly told. Each succ .eding act strengthens
the slowly unfolding plot, and the last act
finds the plucky Yankee in the arms of van
pushed but happy "Johnny" and the South
ern heroine safe in the shelter OF her loving
husbands arms. The villain, of course, is
properly vanquished, as he should be in any
self-respecting play. mber of delicious
love scenes run through the drama, and the
cigarette-rolling episode is at once delightful
and novel.
Mr. Whytal, who. by the way, is an actor as
well a playwright, has surrounded himself
with an excellent company for the interpre-
tation of his play. With q praiseworthy un-
selfshness he abandons the noble lines Of the

''The Dago," which received its first San
Francisco performance at the Grand last night,
is effective melodrama which contains u
number of sensational scenes, particularly the
fire scene, where Baby Lewis, the prosecuted
heiress, is the means OF rescuing her father
from the flames.
John F. Pierson, the villain of the stock COM
pany, has congenial role as the "Dago," who
for the sake OF filthy lucre steals infant
