 He Lived on Lenten Fare. A Dyspeptic's daily diet.

Dyspepsia is one of the most prevalent of diseases. Thousands of people suffer from 1t in a more or less aggravated form. Few diseases are more painful to the individual or more far reaching in their effects on human life and happiness. What the dys- peptic needs is not local treatment, not mere temporary stimulus. The real need Is the touing up of the entire system. For tify the system and it will do it's own fight ing, and promptly eject any iutruding disease. The success of Dr. Ayers Sarsa- pariila in curing indigestion and dyspep- sia is due to just this quality which it possesses, of renewing the vital forces repairing the waste and loss of the body. The ordinary treatment brings the food down to the level of the weak stomach. pr. Ayers Sarsaparilla puts strength into the stomach, and brings 1t up to the level of the strong food fit for men. Ii does this by strengthening the entire system. The stomach cannot stay weak when ali the other organs are gaining strength. What Dr, Ayers Sarsaparil1a will do for dyspep- sia is best illustrated i'll cases like that of M. s. Shields Meridian, Miss. Mir Shields had got down to the last level of dyspepsia. But let him tell his own story:-
 " For years, I was afflicted with dyspep- sia which gradually grew worse until I could eat nothing but bread and potatoes

A SMALL BOYS SCHEME.
He Had an Idea About Eggs Which Promised a Splendid Result to
 His Mind.

A small boy who is not familiar with rural ways was taken by his fond mamma for brief stay in the country
 On a farm in a neighboring county he waxed fat and sunburnt, and picked up wondrous store of astonishing experiences.
 One day the farmer smilingy said to his mother:
 Just ask your boy what he hid two eggs in the stable for?"
 So the very first opportunity the mother said to the six-year-old:
 My dear, what did you do with those eggs you took from the hen house"
 "Oh, mamma" replied the boy, "I didn't want you to know about it"
 ''Why, it's all right, said mamma, '.I only want to know what my boy did with them" 's'.I hid them in the stable" said the little fellow
 And what for?"
 Cause it's my scheme"
 '"Your. scheme? And what is your scheme?"
 "Why, you see, mamma" said the little philosopher, "when eggs is borned in a chicken house they Is always little chickens, an l fink if they was borned in a stable dey might be little horses!"
 It is needless to add that up to the time of his leaving the farm the miracle was still unaccomplished.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The Court Intimates That the De- fendant May Be Held to An

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
 Q0S RroadwaV J1llV 25


 Many interesting developments are cropping up in the preliminary examina- tion of Leslie Blackburn, a politician, on the charge of assalting w. $. O'Brien, another politician, with deadly weapon. The case opened before Judge Allen this morning, with A. A. Moore appearing for Blackburn and Prosecuting Attorney Melvin for the State.
 In his testimony O'Brien stated that he and Blackburn had been brought to- gether by ex-Judge Prick, as the latter was trying to locate the author of the story that was derogatory to Mrs. Prick. O'Brien said he had charged Blackburn with originating the story, whereupon Blackburn called him liar and imme- diately drew his pistol He did not shoot and Judge Prick prevailed on him to put the gun back in his pocket This occurred last week in the Office saloon. O'Brien said: "A party consisting of MT. Prick, MT. Rohan and others started out to find Blackburn and settle the dispute as to who was the originator of the story. We met Blackburn on Eighth street and Rohan brought him to us and then asked me If l had told him that Blackburn started the story about Mrs Prick. I re- piled that l had. and he then drew his gun"
 Jack Rohan testified that after O'Brien had told him the story that was in cir culation regarding Mrs. Prick he thought the lady ought to know it and the man circulating it should be made to prove his statements: MT. Rowan, who had heard from somebody that MT. Blackburn had said something about Mrs. Prick, then told MT. Mcdonald to tell his wife to tell Mrs. Prick what had been said about her, and in this circuitous fashion the story reached the lady most concerned The witness said that he would have told Judge Prick but he was away at the time. He then detailed the circumstances connected with the alleged assault
 Attorney A. A. Moore then asked for a dismissal on the ground that there was nothing to show any attempt to shoot or that the revolver was loaded. Judge Allen differed from counsel and said enough evidence had been produced to warront holding Blackburn for trial un- less Cisproved by the defense. The case was then continued until tomorrow evening, at which time the defense will put on its witnesses

Wild Excitement in the Western Ad- dition Over the Dastardly Deed. There Was Some Talk of
 Lynching.

There was talk of lynching last night in the Western Addition. The neigh borhood of Bush and Octavia streets a ruffianly assault on the six-year- old 2236 Bush street.
 When the doctor returned home last Saturday evening he was informed that his little girl had been basely used by a miscreant whom he recognized from the description as a painter employed in the house. He was told that the fellow had enticed the girl by means of candy and other childish baits into the front parlor ard there subjected her to gross insult.
 The doctor did not hesitate an in- stant. He sallied out to find the fellow, and the police were also informed, but in some manner he managed to elude their search.
 Yesterday morning, however, he re- turned to finish the painting at which he was employed at the family resi- dence. The doctor immediately tackled his man, and on his repeated denials of guilt administered such a thrashing that It is expected he will have to seek other medical attention before he can emerge from his hiding place
 The police in the meantime were on his trail and he was arrested by Officer Isaacs, who has the day beat in the im- mediate neighborhood. In some way, however, he managed to escape, but it Is believed he III shortly be recap tured and fitting punishment meted out for his dastardly deed.
 The doctor said last night that while he regretted any publicity in the mat ter, he was happy that the affair should be known as not worse than 1t might be represented. He had closely cross examined his daughter and had sat isfied himself that while gross fiber ties had been taken by the scoundrel yet the little girls health was not per manently impaired.
 The man is des ~ibed as between 55 and SO years of age, wearing long whis- kers, and is engaged as a painter.
 Police Officer Alexander stated that he is satisfied from the description fur nished him by the little victim that he knows the assailant. He said last night that it was undoubtedly a painter who was concerned in a similar outrage committed about three weeks ago in North Beach. Alexander was employed on that case and declares that the man is morally perverted so as to be a men, ace to the community.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call.
 90S Broadway, July 9.
 Somewhat of sensation was created in Judge Halls court room this afternoon by the testimony of Mrs. Sanford, secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruel ty to Animals. The case on trial was that of Mrs. Dora Orth, who is seeking to have new guardian appointed for her little child. At present the child is in the care Of Mrs. Prescott of the Children's Society, and Mrs. Orth alleges that she is dissat- ished with little Fauntleroy's surround ings.
 Mrs. Orth, the mother of the pretty nt- tie boy, stated in her petition that she is afraid that the child will be Kidnapped and taken out of the State, and also that few days ago she visited her boy at Mrs. Prescotts house, found him sick, and in the care of a young sick girl. On the wit ness stand Mrs. Orth said many pleasant things of Mrs. Prescott in answer to the latter's attorney. She stated that it was at her own request that Mrs Prescott was made guardian of the child, that she visited it once a week till two months ago, that 1t was always contented, that last Christmas she was so pleased with it's care that she gave nice presents to Mrs. Prescott and her daughter as well as the boy, and that only recently was she dis satisfied. Mrs. Orth made no attempt to hide the nature of the life she is living, but stated that she was quite willing to pay as she Is paying for the support of her boy, but she wanted him placed in other hands.
 Then came the sensation of the after noon. About a year ago Mrs. Prescott and Mrs. Sanford, wife of the County Treasurer, occupied the same office in the Central Bank building. Mrs, Prescott att tended to the Children's Society and Mrs Sanford to the Animals Society. For some reason or other they parted com pany, and this afternoon Mrs. Sanford was a witness against her former com Do you know Mrs. Prescott's reputa- ton for truth, honesty and integrity?'' asked ex-Judge Prick.
