certain investigators into tho cause Of inaia-
rial disease, that the mosquito acts ah an IN

whose blood they multiply and cause the dis
cage. Such an eminent student OF bacterial
dieeases as Robert Koch has recently returned

opportunity to STUDY the disease, aud states

way. Now. II there have been no mosquitoes
in and about Santiago this summer, IL would
seem hard blow at tho mosquito theory OF
the csuse OF malaria. ats I take II aa an un-
doubted fact that our army had plenty OF
malaria"
This .s a nut for the doctors to crack.

ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL. Vampires Defeated Team of Sailors at Golden Gate Yesterday.

The Vampire Association football team played yesterday against a Mercantile Marine eleven at Golden Gate and de- feated their opponents by a score of 4 goals to l. After about fifteen minutes of back-and-forth play the front line of the Vampires ran the ball down the field and Coles scored goal. Soon afterward Baugh handled the ball, and the free kick granted to the sailors resulted in goal. Score: Vampires 1 goal, sailors 1 goal. Just before half time White scored a sec ond goal for the Vampires from a pass by Coles. Score: Vampires 2, sailors l.
 In the second half the Vampires de- feated all the sailors attempts upon their goal and added two goals to their own score. The game thus ended with a score of for the Vampires and 1 for the sail- ors. For the winners Baugh, Crossley, White and Coles played the best game while for the losers Kane, Williamson and Fredericks rendered good service The lineup was as follows:

friend related the story that may have such serious consequences. When Mrs. Botkin returned to the Branch County Jail she almost collapsed. She rallied, however, and obtained rest during the night. Yesterday morning her condition was such that the services of a physician were demanded and receiver. Later in the day Mrs. Botkin recovered her cus- tomary spirits. Her sister and brother in-law called and remained for some time with her.
 Unusual efforts were made to conceal the fact of Mrs. Botkins illness It was denied that she had asked for a physician or had been i'll. The fact remained, how ever, that she had seen a physician and was i'll. Second to the general interest that exists in the prospective testimony or Cunning Is the interest expressed in the announcement that Mrs. Botkin will take the stand. The accused woman in- tends to testify in her own behalf and to make a general denial of the charges against her. She will not attempt to deny her relations with Cunning, as she has al- ready admitted them to degree that re- QulreS no comment. She will not seek to establish an alibf, as the conditions of the case qo not require such a defense, except in reference to the purchase of the candy ana the handkerchief.
 The testimony in reference to the p1lr- chase of the handkerchief at the City of Farls Is perhaps the strongest single bit ot evidence against her. This the accused woman will combat with every energy. In reference to her other movements in this city and in Stockton, Mrs Botkin has ad- mitted as much as the prosecution has proved. If Cunning declares that Mrs Botkin attempted to kill him she will, of course, deny 1t. It will be her word against his, with the advantage on her part that Cunning continued his rela- kill him.

Several Brilliant Exhibition Games Played on the Scott-Street
 Courts Yesterday.

The exhibition games played yesterday on the courts of the California Lawn Ten his Club proved very successful. There was a large attendance of visitors. in cluding many ladies and several gentle men whose names are well known among California lovers of lawn tennis Among the spectators were Mountford s. Wilson. a former president of the club; A. H. Small, former champion, and Robert Hooker, who used to play a strong game. The play throughout the afternoon was brilliant, and J. Daily, the courtkeeper. for whose benefit the games were held Is to be congratulated.
 The expected double match between the Hardy brothers, holders of the double championship of the Pacific Coast Lawn Tennis Associa ton, and the Whitney brothers, did not take place Samuel Aardy not being able to come up from Palo Alto; but Sumner Hardy, the anna teur champion in singles, and J. Daily, the professional champion, played two splendid sets. There was plenty of bril- 1ant IEl1i play on the part of both contestants, Daily placing and Hardy's crosscuts and passing strokes being particularly notice able. The match was won by J. Daily with a score of 7-5, S-6.
 Weihe and Adams, the "pony team" of the California Club, met Nicholson and Murdock of the Alameda Lawn Tennis Club, and sustained defeat. Weihe and Adams won the first set but lost the next TWO, lne score being Eb, 6-b and S-6 Both winners and losers volleyed splen- didly and the winners played a particu- larly steady game.
 Sumner Hardy and George Whitney beat R. N. Whitney and J. Daily, the score being 9-7. 7-5. R. Whitney drove and smashed with great effect, Daily's lobbing was noteworthy and the winners played fine game at the net

In addition to being Spokane's chief executive, Dr. Olmsted is presi- dent of the Chamber of Commerce of that city, besides enjoying the distinction of being one of her leading physicians He was elected to his office on an independent ticket and is held in high esteem by the citizens of Spokane. He goes to Hono- lulu for his health and will return in January.
 Just before stepping aboard the steamer Call representative interviewed Dr. Olmsted. and in speaking of the pro- gressive spirit of the city over which he presides, he said:

Raw Sore From Finger to Palm. Physicians and Medicines No
 Avail. Cured by Cuticura.

When my little boy was two years of age, dry spots commenced to appear on different parts of his body. Last winter it seemed to go to his hands, and was obliged to keep his first three fingers done up all the time, as 1t was raw sore, beginning to extend down to- ward the palm of the hand. We consulted three different physicians, each certain length of time, to see benefit of their medicines. I think now, after using CUTIcURA, that some of the salves that used did more injury than good. A gentleman (who sat next to me In church) asked me the matter with my boys hand. took of one of the cloths and showed him, he told me he had been in a hospital in Boston, where for all skin diseases they used CUTIcURA REMEDIES. I immediately pur- chased CUTICURA SOAP, CUTICURA (oint- ment) and CUTIoURA REsoLvRNT, put aside what had been using, and began with them. Well! they cured that hand. I was afraid that this winter it would break out again, but no, it is all cured, and have not had to have cloth on it this winter. Mrs. DIAMOND,
