DEATH OF $. G. FOSTER
Another Pioneer Who Has Gone the
Way of All Flesh

Only a few days ago John G. Nichols.
one of the pioneers who had seen Los
Angeles grow from little mud town
into a splendid city. passed away. NOW
the reaper has cut the strands of life OF
another argonaut, who, like the other,
was at one time at the helm of our mu-
nicipal affairs. This time it is Stephen
c. Foster who has been called away. He
died yesterday morning in this city, aged
rs, as the result of old age.
Mr.. Foster was born in Maine in 1920;
was graduated from Yale in 1S40, and
then went to Virginia and Alabama, in
which states he taught school until
called to Louisiana in 1874 to lecture at
the New Orleans Medical college.
The deceased gentleman came here in
1916 from Santa Fe. N NJ, as interpreter
volunteers, commanded by Captain
Cooke. and less than year later he was
elected alcalde. Later he was sent to
the constitutional convention at Mon
terey from this district.
Mr.. Foster was a man of marvellous
memory in which were stored all the SAL
lent facts that constitute the history
of California in general, and the south
ern counties in particular. There was
nothing pertaining to the past of Los
Angeles that he did not know completely.
and he was at all times disposed to i'm
part his knowledge with courtesy and
good will of the old school. He was well
read, had thorough knowledge of the
archives of both city and county, and
was Spanish scholar of no mean merit.
The time of his funeral has not been an
nounced yet. 1t will probably be under
the auspices of the Pioneer and Histo-
rical societies of this city, to which he

coming political campaign again, for he
states that trains will be running by the
f20th of next month. The main work to
be done is the placing in position Of a
large steel bridge cross Devils gulch,
ten miles from Ventura. The bridge Is
240 feet long, and will be 80 feet high. The
grading is all completed and what little
steel remains to be laid will not take
more than a few days to be placed.
There will be six stations between
Ventura and Nordhoff. and schedule or
two trains each way daily has been ar
ranged, besides one freight train. Along
the line of the road there are already
over 200 carloads of wood corded up,
waiting to be shipped to this city, ana
additions are being made to the supply
at the rate of so cords daily.
ENGINE UPSIDE DOWN
Engineer Haynes of the Southern Pa
cific company had a marvellous escape
from death on Friday while crossing
down the Caliente grade. He had one
of the big Hog engines and was clip
ping along at good rate when for some
unaccountable reason his engine gave
plunge and, going off the track, turned
completely upside down, remaining in
that position. Mr.. Haynes did not have
time to jump, but he and the fireman
were thrown in such way that both of
them escaped without injury, something
that could not occur again once in ten
million times. The engine was badly
wrecked, and it took long time to
move the tremendous amount of help

POLICING OF THE
 ISLAND OF CUBA.
It Is Believed Persons Speaking the Spanish Language Should Be Ghos. en Rather Than Taking
 the Militia,

Washington, Nov. 9.-Colonel Heeker, with Colonel Lee of the board which was sent to Cuba to select camp sites for the American army of occupation, has reached Washington and has had sever- al conferences with the president and Secretary Alger. Secretary Alger has approved the locations selected by the Hecker board for tho principal garrison, which will be in tho neighborhood of Havana. The place selected lies about eight miles south of Havana, in the neigbborhood of the town of Mariana Two camps will be pitched at this point, one on either side of the splendid aque- duct which supplies Havana with water. This acqueduet will be tapped and the water drawn by steam pumps from it to supply the camps, which will be pitched on plateau about 160 feet above sea level.
 At the nearest point to the camp on the sea beach dock is being construct ed. The troops will be landed at this point and marched directly to the camp, the purpose being to avoid exposure to possible infection in Havana. The work on this dock is being pushed with the greatest energy, and it's construction has given employment to about 1900 insur- gent soldiers, who were glad to receive the opportunity to make peaceable liv ing by toil. Similar arrangements are being made i'll the neighboraood OF Pu- erto Principe, which will be the first point to be garrisoned, the principle being observed there as in the case of the Havana garrison of keeping the troops from direct contact with the towns. This is done under the best medical advice, but one consequence of the adoption of the rule is to oblige the government to look to some other power than military to police the towns.
 Colonel Hecker has been able to make most fattering report as to the good qualities of what is known as the guarde civilia in Havana, for this work The men composing this force are usually chosen from the best men ill the army, and at any rate, are picked for their physical and intellectual qualities. They are able to command at once the respect and obedience of the rather rest less Havana population even better than soldiers. It is not doubted that they would be willing to continue in the dis charge of their duties when the United States took military possession of Ha- vana, and if this can ba arranged, the government will feel that great load of responsibility has been lifted.
 Already numerous incidents have happened in some of the towns, not only in Cuba, but in the Philippines, to show that the United States soldier is utterly unfitted for the task of policing towns in time of peace, this uniting being founded not only on ignorance of the customs of the people, but on strong repugnance to that kind of duty.

THE SIMPLEST CURE FOR lNDlcEs
 TON.
As Well as the Safest and
 Cheapest.

The new medical discovery, Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets, digest the food instead of making the worn out stomach do all the work, give it a much needed rest, ana cure of dys- pepsia is the natural result.
 You get nourishmen and rest at the same time because these Tablets will thoroughly digest all wholesome food taken into the stomach wheth- CT the stomach works or not. A cure is certain to result because the digestive organs are given a chance to rest and recoveri their natural vlgor and tone. The Tablets are then no longer required.
 To show the manner in which the remedy acts on different people and how quickly and effectually 1t cures stomach troubles we present a few recent cases.
 MT. J. 0. Wondly of Peoria, H., writes: l was unable to eat any thing but the plainest food and even that often distressed me, but since using one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab let's can eat anything and every thing l want,
 Mrs. SamueI Kepple, of Girty, Pa, writes: 1 have been entirely relieved of my stomach troubles by your Tablets. l suffered three years with sour stomach and gas at night. am thankful for them.
 Mrs. A. E. Bowen. Barnard, Vt, writes: I think Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the best thing for dys- pepsla l ever took. l will recom- mend them to anyone troubled as bad as 1 was.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will not disappoint because they cure Dyspepsia surely eand lastingly by causing the food to be properly as- similated. and cure constipation by producing the proper quantity of bile.

Outside of Greater New York the vote for Van Wyck is only about one-fifth of 1 per cent above that Of Porter in 1896. There appears to be a loss of foor Republican con gressmen in the Brooklyn districts, the Second, Fourth, Fifth and Congressman Quigg, who had Q ma jority of about 5000 at the election last year, has been defeated by Will. liam Astor Chanler In the Albany district, the Twentieth, Glynn, Democrat, has been elected to sue ceed Southwick, Republican.
 In addition to the foregoing there are seemingly Democratic gains in the Eighth and Thirteenth districts, both in this city, Daniel Rordan being elected in the one and Jeffer- son M. Levy in the other. This makes g. total Democratic gain Of seven congressman.
 Enough returns for the assembly have been received to show the probable election of eighty Repubi- cans and sixty-one Democrats with nine districts doubtful or not heard from. Conceding all the latter to the Democrats, the Republicans will still have majority of ten in the assembly and fourteen on joint ballot. Tbis computation, t borne out by official returns, will mean the election of Republican to the United States Senate in place of Edward Murphy, Jr., Deo1ocrat.
