CHIEF GLASS TO TESTIFY
Will Tell What He Knows of Minnie
Campbell

Chief of Police Glass left yesterday for
San Francisco, where he was summoned as
witness in the grand larceny cases against
Minnie Campbell and Albert Lewis, her
consort. About year ago, an old miner
named Overend met the Campbell woman,
who was on the town in San Francisco, and
became infatuated with her. He gave her
money in large amounts and tor awhile
thought he was the main guy" True,
Lewis, who was formerly prize fighter, was
frequently in the company of the woman,
nut ,i Lewis was vas introduced n as the brother s
ing the old miner for several thousand
dollars, made another touch OF several
thousand more by representing that her
father had been arrested in this city for
murder and she had to come down here to
comfort him and, incidentally, to secure the
means for his defense.
The miner finally caught onto the fact
that ne was being worked, and reported the
matter to the San Francisco authorities.
The Campbell woman and Lewis had in the
meanwhile come to this city, SO telegram
was sent to Chief Glass requesting that they
be arrested. Both were taken into custody
the 18th of last February by police detec-
tives and were taken north by an officer
from San Francisco. Overend did not at
first want to prosecute the case, claiming
that he might incriminnte himself by testi.

and the cases were set.
Chief Glass was summoned as a witness.
but requested that the trials be postponed,
as he could not then attend the northern
court. His request was granted, but the
pair will be brought to trial tomorrow.
| Interest is lent to the case from the fact that

years, is from this city, her father being

If life were one long summer day and IN
journey through garden of flowers, il
might be possible for people to be careless
of their health without fearing evil results.
Unfortunately, since Adam and Eve were
driven from the Garden of Eden, life has
not been toilless journey through garden
of flowers. Man must earn bread by the
sweat of his brow, and woman must bring
forth children in pain and suffering.
In both cases the curse is multiplied
many times over because both men and
women neglect their health. Mans toll is
rendered thousand times harder by the
added burden of ill-health. The woman Is
a still greater sufferer. She suffers in ST.
disease i'll womanly way. Motherhood
becomes to her menace of death, and her
babes are born with the seeds of disease
already implanted in their little bodies.
There is but one unfailing remedy for woua-
en- who suffer in this way. 1t is DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. 1t acts directly on
the delicate and important organs that bear
the brunt of maternity. 1t makes them
strong, healthy, vigorous, virile and elastic.
1t allays inflam nation, heals liberation,
soothes pain and tones and builds up the
tortured nerves. 1t fits for wifehood and
motherhood. 1t does away with the trials
of the period of apprehension and makes
baby's advent easy and almost painless.
Thousands have testified to its marvellous
merits

MOST WOMEN ARE MIsSHAPEN
Straight Arms Rarity Because Of
Fashions in Dress

The latest count in the Indictment Of tight
corsets and sleeves comes from physician
who declares that indulgence in the two
fashionable follies named is responsible for
many misshapen female forms. Indeed, he
declares that few women are well formed,
adding that practically all Of them have
either crooked arms or crooked legs-some.
times both Inquiry among teachers Of
physical culture eIicits pretty much the same
opinion, and all lay the deformity to the
causes specified above. The physician re-
ferred to has this to say:
Women are knock-kneed, bow-legged, too
lean, too fat or only partially developed,
and straight arm is very. rare. Tight
sleeves, tight waists and tight corsets are
to be blamed. A man rarely has deformed
arms, because his clothing is made to allow
him an opportunity to reach anywhere, and
fashion does not forbid him to swing his
arms when he takes his daily walk Besides
being tight a woman's sleeves are put into
a waist in such manner as to prevent her
from lifting her arms to any height. The
fashionable sleeve of the past twenty years
has been crooked, and women's arms have
grown as crooked as the sleeve. Bowlegs
and knockknees often begin ut childhood,
but they are finished by. the high heels and
narrow, pointed toes which distinguish the
everyday footwear of womankind.
These deformities may be remeded by
thorough course of physical exercise with
dumb-bells and Indian clubs or any one of
the excellent exercises now on the market,
and children can be saved from deformity by
care and attention. The American mother
is careless often-allows her baby to stand
upon tender little legs whose cartieges are
toe. soft to bear the weight of the body, and
so bend one way or the other. If outward,
the baby will have bow-legs, and if in the
other direction knocll-knees will he the re-
suit. The legs should be allowed to gain
strength to bear the weight of the hody.

BLIND FARMER IN VERMONT
Successfully Tills the Soil Though
Sightless for Years

Lafayette Stearns of Rutland, Vt, is a
man who has mastered one of the most try
ing physical infrmites and made his life
useful when others would have given away
in despair. Mr. Stearns is farmer, 70 years
old, who, though blind for eighteen years,
has, during all but two of those years, car
rled on the cultivation of ten acres of land.
For two years after he became blind Mr..
Stearns was obliged to lay aside all labor,
though brawny and physically as able and
anxious to work as ever
During this period he tried many times to
plant portions of his garden by kneeling and
trying to perfect measurements with his i'm
plements. One morning the idea came to
him that he would take two stakes and a
string, and suspending the latter from the
stakes, could construct a satisfactory guide.
Mrs. Stearns set the stakes for the first
row to be planted across the garden. With
this assistance he planted his first acre, set
ting the stakes over for each new row, OBJ
tanning measurements with the short hoe
handle which he carried, while on his bend.
ed knees he opened the hill, planted the
seed and covered it over
Before he could do much gardening he
earned money churning for neighbors. In
this way he earned enough to purchase COW
ering for the addition to his house, and aft
half the covering.
Mr.. Stearns mows, rakes and prepares
enough hay to keep three cows and horse.
For moving the stakes are set at the outer
edge of the field by Mrs. Stearns, with the
string suspended at such height that with
each swing of the scythe the blind man $
forearm just touches it. When he has moved
swath across the field he sets the stakes
over the width of a swath, which he meas
ures with his scythe; then, guided by the
string, he makes his way back across the
field. In this way, when once started, he
mows an entire meadow, and the neighbors
allege that even at 20 years of age he is Il
brisk man to follow with the scythe.
Working entirely on this principle, the
blind farmer plants, hoes, weeds and har-
vests all kinds of farm products.-New York

chimes, but the taking of pictures which re-
quired perspective has remained failure.
The persons or objects had to be crowded
together in order to produce a picture with
as little perspective as possible.
Another Inconvenience connected with
these large cameras was that an instanta-
neOus taking of the subject before the
camera was impossible. and consequently
IA great many of the pictures became stiff
and unnatural in position and expression.
All large photographs show a great def
cheney in proportion. and the bigger the
negative the more glaring these defects.
After eight years OF experimenting 1t has
been the good fortune of Mr.. Slender of
this city to construct q machine which Is
able to produce from the smallest negative
one of any size and of absolute perfection,
not only In the reproduction of the single
subjects. but also In their perspective pro-
portion to the whole.
The value Of this invention is much far
ther reaching than the careless observer
could imagine. Samples of the work have
been submitted to local artists and Messrs.
Francisco, Koch. DR.. Fletcher and the
School of Art and Design expressed them
selves enthusiastically over the highly ar
tistc effects.
popularity Of these reproductions Is
that they do not have the smooth, over-pol-
1shed appearance of a photograph- At a
small distance they look like perfect steel
sense of the word.
What this invention means to the artist
and student only the artist can under
stand. The model need not sit or stand for
hours In the studio of the painter. One sit
ting Is sufficient; the happiest, most favor
able expression can be retained in the twin
kle OF an eye on the miniature negative
and the machine reproduces all of 1t with
mathematical accuracy

hold their position not from favor but
because they do the work we'll. Every
department. is well looked after and
the result of careful teaching is telling
