 Where is the weak spot in your sys- tenn?
 Is it weakness of the stomach which causes indigestion, dyspepsia, biliousness, constipation, headaches and backaches, or is 1t a general weakness which makes you suffer from tired, languid feelings?
 Wherever or whatever your particular weakness may be, you can, if you will, get rid of 1t and replace it with health, strength and vigor. Do you know how? lowing opinions on the subject and get some valuable information.
 Mrs. M. McMahon of l Sumpter street, Brooklyn, says: T was formerly much troubled with Indigestion, but have been entirely cured by using Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, which 1 can sincerely recom- mend. It gave me relief when all other remedies failed.''
 Mrs. J. w. Connor of Fitchburg, Mass, very miserable and low spirited when friend advised me to try Duffys Pure Malt Whiskey. l did so, and am now feel ing stronger. happier and healthier than l have felt in years. It has worked won ders in my case.''
 Hundreds of similar opinions could be furnished, but the above are quite Suffi- cient to prove that Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is unequaled for it's stimulating, quickens the blood, promotes digestion and makes sound, healthy flesh. It should be remembered, however, that it is not an ordinary whskey, but is unlike any other. On this account be sure and get only the genuine and accept no inferior imitation.

How J. K. Prior Got Even With the Southern Pa-
 cific Company.
He Rode Free on a Special From Castroville to San
 Jose.
Loss of Time Made Up bv inc Cor. ductor in Starting His Train
 Ahead Five Minutes.

To J. K. Prior of this city is due the credit of beating the Southern Pacific Company at one of it's own games-that of compelling it to disgorge the price of a special train at the rate of a dollar A mile.
 The circumstance which brought about this unusual condition of affairs between the company and one of its passengers without the intervention of a court of justice occurred on the road between Cas- troville and San Jose. Prior, who is a millionaire in his own name, is possessed in addition to his wealth with a whole lot Of backbone and very stiff neck on his shoulders. On this occasion, the Eth of last February, he had urgent business in San Miguel, where he owns a ranch of 65,OO0 acres. Having disposed of his busi- ness at that place, he boarded a train on Sunday morning, intending to arrive at his home the same night. When the train arrived at Castroville it was twelve minutes behind schedule time, and as 1t was the noon hour the conductor made the announcement that twenty minutes would be given for lunch.
 On the arrival of the train all hands hurried to the company's restaurant, ex- cept Prior and two San Francisco drum mers, who preferred to patronize an op- position refreshment place alongside. This they did, but on their return to the depot they found the train had left five minutes ahead of time. The station agent was consulted. and in explanation he stated that this was necessary in order to make up the lost time on the road be- tween that place and San Miguel. Here the San Francisco capitalist saw his op- portunity to insist on his rights and lie lost no time in carrying out his desire. He demanded to be conveyed to his des- tinattOn.
 The company's agent saw no way to &C., comodate him, as no other train would pass the station that day. Prior did not care whether a train ever came along or not, his ticket was bought and paid for and go he must. In this dilemma the best the agent could do was to telegraph to headquarters for instructions, which he did. The answer came back that MT. Prior could arrive at his home on time by hiring a special engine, balancing himself as best he could on l..e cow catcher. The answer to this invitation was that MT. Prior had something to live for and as he had no accident insur- ance on his life he respectfully declined
 The agent once more tapped the wire and the answer to this was that the com Pany had some choice special cars on hand Tor such fastidious passengers as the San Francisco millionaire at the rate CT a dollar a mile and that 1t would be only too glad to accommodate him at that hgure. The special was engaged ana the sum of $60 paid and a receipt equipped conveyance MT. Prior and his two drummer friends rode the sixty miles into San Jose in so many minutes

WHERE ARE THE
 ELECTION BOOTHS?
Registrar Biggy Instructed to Look Into Kennedy's Con-
 tract With the City.
Plan of Precincts Used for tho Free- holders Election to Be Used
 Again in May.

One of the first duties of the new Regis trar will be to investigate the right of MT. Kennedy to draw $50 month from the city treasury. At meeting of the Election Commissioners yesterday, MT. Frederick called attention to the fact that Kennedy, who formerly kept lum- Der yard, had entered into a contract with the city to take care of the election booths at the price named, but that he had recently retired from business. The commission instructed Registrar Biggy to look into the matter and ascertain what has become of the booths. and whether Kennedy is still caring for them or has turned them over to somebody else and is drawing pay without performing his contract.
 MT. Creswell moved that the plan of precinct division used for the freeholders' election last December be adopted again for the charter election on May 26. Brod- erick was the only member who opposed the motion, which was adopted. It was announced that the map of the new pre- cincts was ready and would be used for the next general election.
 The board authorized the advertising of the call for the charter election in the three morning and three afternoon pap CTS for ten days preceding the election.

Jennie Farrell, a girl 12 years of age was arrested yesterday morning by De- tectives Fitzgerald and Graham of the Mission district and Is being detained Tn the City Prison pending the hearing of charges against her mother. Mrs. Cusack, who lives in the same house as Jennie's mother, at 6S Hermann street, has been missing a number of articles from her rooms, and when a valuable violin disappeared a day or two ago she determined to keep a close watch upon her rooms. Yesterday morn ing she observed Jennie leaving the house with bundle under her arm. She stopped her, and on examining the bundle found that it contained one of her table cloths and pan.
 Mrs. Cusack detained the girl and noti- fled the Seventeenth-street police station, and Detectives Fitzgerald and Graham were detailed on the case.

 In the course of few days MT. Prior made a social call on the railroad mag mates at the office on Montgomery street, and, after transacting some business, 1t suddenly occurred to him that there was s60 in their hands that he had use for. He made demand for this amount. and as soon as he finished his statement the gentleman to whom he made it nearly dropped out Of his chair in astonishment at so bare-faced a proposition
 A consultation was held between a few of the leading lights of the company. and 1t was agreed to refer the matter to MT. Fillmore for his opinion. To this propo- sition MT. Prior demurred. He did not desire to appear before MT. Fillmore. It was finally agreed that the matter be submitted to MT. Goodman
 Thus matters stood until last Friday. when MT. Prior was notified to appear at the office of the passenger agent, which he did, and after giving his explanation of the transaction he was handed back his s60. He bowed himself out of the office and returned to his business with the happy consolation that he had ridden sixty miles in sixty minutes on a first class special and at the company's ex- penSe.
