Keely, Of Keely cure fame, has a
Russian rival, one Michael Georgevitch
Alaverdoff, who. according to his own
account, having tackled successfully
the Demon Rum In the empire OF the
car, is now in London preparing to
save the drunkards OF England. After
he has accomplished his mission In
England he will probably come over
here and try his hand at New York.
M. Alaverdoff declares in his mani
festo that he has discovered a wonder
full herb which, when administered to
the victim, will cure him completely,
even though he has drunk every day
for more than fifty years from Ave to
twenty bottles OF alcoholic drinks" One
would think that the condition of

would be such that the herb TO cure
him would have to be plucked on the

Russians have long been noted for
powers OF bibatlon OF the Gargantuan
order. When this wonderful Russian
arrived In London the Daily Chronicle
sent a reporter to interview him. As
there was no man on the staff who
spoke Russian. they chose one who had
moderate taste for vodka as being the
best qualified man available. Through
an Interpreter Alaverdoff said to the
reporter that his prescription consisted
OF 36 per cent spirits OF wine and GA
per cent OF distilled water. AS these
numbers made 100 per cent the report

tested that there was not room, Alaver-

that is my secret" Then two glasses

has not noticed any Improvement in

RICHEST WESTERN WOMAN.

Mrs. Susanna Bransford Emery, the
richest woman in Utah, and perhaps
OF the entire west, is in New York. Her
sudden acquisition OF very large in
come proves her to be a remarkable
woman. About five years ago her hus-
band, A. c. Emery. died, leaving his
widow lot OF supposedly worthless
mining property with which to make
a living. Being in great financial diff
ficulties, she went to work, developed
the property, and today Mrs. Emery re-
ceives over $4,000 a month in dividends.

A TRICK THAT FAILED
ATTEMPT TO DIsFRANCHIsE THE
CoUNTY's INDIGENTs
superior Court Called Upon to Uphold
the Decision Of the Supreme
Bench

| SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 9.-The
county hospital here is used as the "poor
farm" and in it are number of indigents,
many of whom have been there dozen
years or more. These were inclined to vote
the independent ticket, and as the contest
promised to be close it was thought lit
tie trick might work to save that number
OF votes on that side, even if they could
not be utilized on the other. These are
living in American precinct and on Satur-
day the chairman of the board of election
for American, G. I. Copeland, procured an
opinion from the district attorney stating
that these men could not vote, as they had
no residence there and as it was necessary
to have an income of at least $5 per month
to be allowed to vote. When they arrived
they were challenged, but the other side
was ready, and Attorneys II. w. Nisbet
and G. b. Cole drew up mandamus papers
and calling Judges Oster and Campbell
together brought up the case in bank. AT
torneys Role and Conner took the other
side, but were overruled, the court up
holding the decision of the supreme court
lately given and ordered that the men be
allowed to vote, which they did.

This Way

The Santa Fe railway people are already
having difficulty in taking care of all of the
travel which is headed for this state. Yes
terday General Passenger Agent j. j. Byrne
received letter from Assistant General
Passenger Agent G. w. Higgins. He states
that already the company has had to in
crease the coaches on both the limited and
the regular passenger trains, and adds: II
do not remember when, under normal con-
ditions, travel to and from California, dur
ing the autumn and early fall, was as great
as it has been this year, and from the strong
increase thus early in the season, the prompt
sale of nearly every berth in our first limited
trains, the continued heavy volume of busi-
ness on the daily trains, notwithstanding
the Inauguration of the limited, and the
general indications from large correspond
ence and reports of our territorial agents on
prospective business, l feel sure that the
travel to California this winter will be
heavier than it has been for many years
past. Year by year eastern people are more
widely appreciating the superior attractions
of Southern California for the tourist, and
as you watch our trains come in you will OBJ
serve that they pretty generally know how
to get there"

When the alarm of fire was given the elec

fifty feet from the burning structure, and
several of the election officers were dis

was some time before the departments ef-

The building was owned by S. G.. Baker
