MAKES A FULL CONFESSION
IN HIDING he WATCHED FOR
THE SMASH-UP.

SANTA ROSA, Oct. 4.-The fend who
made such a desperate attempt TO
wreck a Southern Pacific train week
ago last Sunday near Glen Ellen has
been arrested and now lodges secure
behind prison bars. Ever since the &C
cident the authorities have been en-
gagged in an active search for the Grim
inal, but their efforts were not success
full until tonight, when he was located
in Vallejo and soon after placed under
arrest. The prisoner made a full con-
fession and told without reserve the
story of his attempt to derail the train
and hurl the passengers and crew to
destruction He gives his name as Hugh
Griffin and says his mother resides near
SebastOpOl. He was arrested at Vallejo
this afternoon by Constable Blessing
ton Of that place.
When charged with the crime the
prisoner broke down completely and
said the motive which prompted him to
the desperate deed was one of revenge.
On the UP trip Conductor Jeff Gage had
put him off, as he was attempting to
steal his passage to Ell Verano, and TO
get even he broke open the switch,
placed a stone between the rails to pre-
vent its sprnging back Ito correct po-
sition and then forced the indicator
around IN such way as to show every
thing was all right.
The train on it's return trip, coming
around curve at the rate of twenty
five miles an hour, dashed into the open
switch, demolishing a freight car stand
ing there, derailing two passenger
coaches and overturning the engine,
which ploWed its way into the en-
bankment and tore up the track for
fifty feet. All the time the author of
the crime was concealed in the brush
a few yards from the scene of the
wreck, watching the result of his fiend
ish work.
The prisoner is only a little over q
years of age. Since last Wednesday h.
has been confined in the Vallejo iaiI
on a charge Of vagrancy and it was
through coniding his story to fellow
prisoner, who informed the officers ~
what had been told him, that the loca-
ton of the criminal and his arrest upo,
the last charge was accomplished

MRS. PINKHAM TALKS ABOUT "CHANGE OF LIFE"
Women Urged to Prepare Revolution the
Economy Of Their BIood-lIrs Watson
Helped

At no time is woman more liable to
physical and mental dangers with hours
Of suffering than at the "Turn of Life"
The great want in womans system is
ability to properly adjustitselft to the new
condition. The outlet, monthly, of blood
is now being diminished and carried into
the body for the supply food of its j. ter
years.
Daughters, you can now to some extent
repay your mothers early care. She must
be spared every possible exertion. You
must help her bear her burdens and ankle
ties This critical time safely over, she will
return to renewed health and happiness.
That so many women fail to anticipate
- hischange thus happily, is owing not
!, merely to lack of care, but to igno-
y rance. There is, however, no excuse
, for ignorance when experienced ad-
: vice can be yours free of all cost.
Y Write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, she has helped great numbers
of women successfully through the
Change of Life, and she will help Won.

pound is the best tonic for uterine
changes. It works tremendously up
on all these overwrought organs, in
vigorates the body and drives off the

while playing with the ears Of the beast
cleared his throat several times and
coughed. Then he started his responses:
"Boys, I'm not much for speakin,
but I'm no SLOUGH on thinkin. I don't
know how to thank you for this ball
and all this useful outfit, but / do feel
blame grateful, boys-we both do. Now
let's dance, and | promise you we'll use
every darned present you've brought
us.
Then the men filed up in line and
met Mrs. Lonergan and danced with
her. In the small hours of the morning
tables were brought in and supper was
served. Every delicacy the boys had
been able to procure at such short no.
tice was there, and in the center of the
table rose the bridal cake with it's two
sugared figures. 1t was daybreak when
the ball was over, and all the boys
agreed, as the last drink was taken,
that Pete had struck great luck And
so it proved.
Mayor Lonergah's wife was worship
ed by the boys before she had been
month in camp. She was delicate lit
tie lady, with low voice and modest
manners. She had been brought up in
comfortable home in Missouri, yet she
grooved into the life Of Ashcroft az il
she had been designed for it. If miner
was hurt, it was Mrs. Lonergan who
looked after him and his wounds. If
one of the boys was hard up and needed
help, it was Mrs. Lonergan who found
it out and sent Pete to his aid. Thus it
was that the quiet little woman won
the love and respect of the miners Of
Ashcroft. The mayor, under the infiu-
ence of his wife, grew to be quite new
man. His whole soul was wrapped up
in the little woman and her work
1t was just year after the ball. The
whole camp loved the wife of the mayor
of Ashcroft, and there was not man
in the whole district who would have
not ridden 4S hours to do her the slight
est favor. Pete had gone to Glenwood
to see physician, and the boys held a
meeting to talk over the coming event.
They had arranged to do the handsome
thing by the heir. They had decided to
have large silver mug made from the
ore taken from their hills and to present
it at time when they could give Pete
and his wife reception worthy the
name of Ashcroft.
But they never did.
The mother and the boy we're buried
within the boundary Of Petes location,
the Prospect. She had asked to be buried
there and not taken home.
Ashcroft seemed to fade with the loss
Of that woman. One man after another
pulled up stakes and left but not with
out lump in his throat as the stage
passed the Prospect.
Pete did not talk much for year,
and he never put pick into Ashcroft s
ground after the death of his wife.
Some of the boys claim he went QUO of
his mind entirely.
He locked his cabin as it stood, tax
ing away only one thing, little cradle
made Of cigar box, with a broken
string still attached to it.-Henry Rus.

A Toast to Commodore Dewey.

At the Dewey golden wedding at Mont
pelier last week Tuesday evening, Rev. A.
N. Lewis called the assembly to order,
with the following remarks:
Ladies and gentlemen We miss to-
night the presence OF near relative OF
this youthful couple, whom we should
occasion. He would have been here, but
for an important and pressing business
engagement elsewhere. Just before his
departure for Hong Kong last November
the following lines by Col. Archibald
Hopkins were said or sung to him at
farewell dinner given in his honor by
the Metropolitan club at Washington.
have permission of the bride and
groom to interrupt the festivities by
reading them at this time. know you
will all be glad to hear them"
Fill all your glasses full to night;
The wind is off the shore;
And be it least or be it fight,
We pledge the Commodore.
Through days of storm through days of
On broad Pacific seas;
At anchor off the Isles of Palm,
Or with the Japanese.
On shore, afoat, on deck below,
Or where our bulldogs roar;
To back friend or breast foe,
We pledge the Commodore.
We know our honorIl be unstained
Where'er his pennant flies;
Our rights respected and maintained,
Whatever power defies.
And when he takes the homeward tack
Beneath an Admiral's flag,
Well hail the bay that brings him back
And have another Jag.
Since then he has added this postscript
to his toast:
Along the far PHILIPPINE coast,
Where flew the flag of Spain,
Our Commodore today can boast
"Twill never fly again"

Stop! Women,

And consider that in addressing Mrs.
Pinkham you are confding your private
ills to q woman-a woman whose ex-
perience in treating woman's diseases
is greater than that OF any living ply
stefan, male or female.
You can talk freely to woman when
It is revolving to relate your private
troubles to man; besides, a man does
not understand, simply because he isa
man.
MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING
INVITATION.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness areinvitedt opromptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re-
ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk Of her private illness to woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out OF the vast volume
Of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
In return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very
foolish If she does not take advantage
Of this generous offer Of assistance.
