ARGUMENTS ON THE
PLACERVILLE CASE

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, March 1.-The meeting of the
Assembly Judiciary Committee was the
scene of considerable discussion on the
Placerville railroad bond bill this evening.
Drury Melone appeared and spoke in vol
luminous terms in fevor of the bill. while
Judge Williams of Placerville spoke in
opposition to it.
The bill provides for filing vacancies in
the public offices of cities where for more
than two years the people have failed to
elect officers to govern said cities. 1t
gives the Governor the authority to fill
the vacancies This would directly hit
Placerville, for there has been no public
Office filled by law in that city for over
thirty years, as the people are endeavor-
ing TO evade the payment of certain rail-
road bonds, the majority of which are
held by Drury Melone, a Napa capitalist,
who bought them up for from 10 to 30
The story of the transaction whereby
the people of Placerville were put in bond
was fully printed in The Call of recent
date. The company, after getting the
people to bond flacerville for $3.50 900 for
failed to keep. its agreement, and if the
bill is made a law it will place the people
Of Placerville liable to suit to pay the
bonds. where at present they are not, as
the town is without officers.
Melone spent considerable time and en-
ergy in his, endeayors, to convince the
committee that it should report favorably
upon the bill, as did likewise Williams in
his opposition to it. The committee laid
the matter over until tomorrow. when
it will be acted upon in executive session.
1t will probably be reported back with
out recommendation and be the subject of
debate on the floor of the House.
Senate bill so and Assembly bill SGT were
both reported back with favorable recon-
mendat1on. Bill 80 makes void a convey
ance found by a court or jury to have
been formulated by the grantor with
fraudulent intent. Bill S67 makes it a mis-
demeanor for owners allowing their hogs
to run upon premises of another.

SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC
IN ARIZONA TOWNS

LOS ANGELES, March Mrs. ]. M.
Griffith, president of the Red Cross So
ciety. is in receipt Of letter written
by Mrs. A. Davidson of Clifton, Ariz..
dated February %. Mrs. Davidson
writes that in Clifton. and the adjacent
town of Metcalf there were at that time
fifteen cases of smallpox The inhab-
itants of the towns are principally Mex
leans, employees of the Arizona Copper
Company. Owing to the peculiar atti-
tude of. the Mexicans there seemed
every reason to apprehend an epidemic,
which probably would be well under
way early in March. Nearly all the
cases were concealed several days, and
much trouble and some force of arms
were necessary to get them isolated.
DR.. Davidson and his brother are the
company surgeons. They have so far
been able to attend to all cases, but
both are suffering from la grippe and
neither is immune There is not a
trained nurse within several hundred
miles and Mrs. Davidson asks If the
Red Cross could send a doctor and
nurses at once on receipt of a tele-
gram. She asks that they state def
nitely the charges, besides railroad fare,
for a doctor and a nurse.

OPPOSITION SHOWN
To THE EXPOSITION
BILLS IN THE SENATE

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, March IA delegation from
San Francisco appeared before the Sen
ate Finance Committee to-day to sup
port the bills regarding the big expo
sition which are now pending before
the Legislature. Two sessions were de-
voted to the consideration of the bill
providing for an appropriation of $780,
600 by the State, and even then the
matter was not put to a final vote.
There was more opposition shown
than was expected, and it was thought
mittee's report to lie over until to-mor-
row so the delegation of supporters
could have more time for argument.
On the way up the delegation elected
Charles L. Patton chairman, and he
opened the subject before the commit
tee. He explained the plans of the pro-
motors of the exposition and the de-
tails of the organization so far as it
had gone. The bill, however, was not
up to the wishes of the committee, and
all the noon session was devoted to dis
cussing the powers of the commission
ers to be appointed by the Governor
and their responsibility in the handling
of any money the State might appro>
pirate.
Senator Wolfe, who introduced the
bill, explained that the commissioners
would all be under heavy bonds, but
the committee wished their powers def
inftely set down in the bill, and also
that the money be handled through the
State Board of Examiners. Leavitt
suggested that the committee report I'M
favorably upon the bill presented and
then Senator, JVO1fa could cIIhY,1jt y,nxu
bill with the desired amendments in.
corporated, but this the delegation and
Senator Wolfe objected to, and it was
decided to alter the original bill so as
to conform to the suggestions made.
When the committee convened again
just before the evening session of the
Senate the bill had been brought into
shape to meet all objections, and then
the merits of the exposition were put
under the committees scrutiny. It was
here that the scheme found its first op-
position. Senator Smith did not think
the results OF the exposition would be
so great as was reported, and he asked
for the sentiment of the people on the
question. Senator Wolfe explained that
the project had not been given unani-
nous support, but that it was yet in
its infancy and most of what opposi-
ton it had so far met with was the
result rather of an ignorance of the
plans than any direct objection to the
scheme itself.
Senator Rowell wanted to know
whether it would not be better to ap-
propriate what money the State could
spare for the purpose of making
showing at the Paris Exposition in
1900
Senator Wolfe said he. thought 1t
would be more to the benefit of this
State if money were appropriated for
a home fair than for the one in Paris.

say that most Of what was good in

Why Women Are Nervous.

British Medical News,
The frequent cases Of nervous prostra-

much thought and investigation on the
part Of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are well
known 10 cause various forms Of nerv-
Gus diseases which are readily traced to
the poisons producing them. Further
research leads 10 the belief that alum is
u prevailing cause Of so-called nervous
prostration, for the symtoms II produces
on the nervous system after its absorp-
tion into the blood are very remarkable
indeed. Experiments physiologically
made upon animals by Orilla, Professors
Hans Mayer, Paul Seim and others,
show that alum frequently produces no
visible symptoms for many days after ts
introduction into the body. Then fol-

The most prominent physicians now be-

many affections Of the nerves from
which both men and women suffer are
caused by the continual absorption of
alum into the system.
II Is probable tina, many medical men
are unaware Of the extent 10 which salts
of alumina may be introduced into the

This is plain because every organ in
the body depends on the stomach for
its nourishment. Nerve, bone, sinew,
blood are made from the food which the
stomach converts TO our use.
How useless to treat disease with this,

the most important Of all, the stomach.
The earliest symptoms of indigestion
are sour risings, bad taste in the mouth
gas in stomach and bowels, palpitation,
all-gone feeling, iaintness, headaches,
constipation; later comes loss of flesh,
consumption, liver and heart troubles,
kidney diseases, nervous prpstration, all
Of which are the indirect result of poor
nutrition
Any person suffering from indigestion
should make il practice TO take after
each meal one Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, allowing it to dissolve in the
mouth and thus mingle with the saliva
and enter the stomach in the most
natural way. These Tablets are highly
recommended by Dr. Jennison because

AN ALBANY SHOOTING.
Shorty" Farrell Shot by Henry VIII
hams, But Not Seriously.

Tuesday evenings Albany Democrat
says:
The sidewalk and platform in front oi
the saloon Of Williams Brothers this
morning made things look as II Albany
had a murder case on hand. II has not
though.
About ~ O'Clock last night Charley
Farrell, his cousin Herbert Farrell, Fred
Sedd ,rs and Va J / ley were in the sa.
loon, when quarrel with Henry Will
liams at the bar enmed, Of very hot
character, common in a drunken saloon
row, resulting in Herbert Farrell throw
ing q glass at Williams, who was stand
ing near the end Of the bar. Williams
whipped out revolver, Smith x Wes-
son, 38 caibre, with the barrel cut of
for convenience, and fired as the -four
men were rushing for the door, suppos-
cd y at Herbert Farrell. The ball struck
Charley Farrell a glancing blow over the
right ear, going under the skin about
two and half inches, scraping against
the skull but not penetrating it, hard
enough 10 knock off about third Of the
bullet and striking the right door about
five and a half feet from the floor, and
bounding back into the rear room Of the
saloon. Farrell fell out of the door upon
the sidewalk, partially assisted by his
companions, while Williams followed
them to the door remarking that they
couldn't run any Of their rackets upon
him. There are claims of threats, ETC.,
and different reports a. 10 how the thing
happened, but as the men are said to
have been intoxicated il will he difficult
to get at the actual fact. Farrell was
taken to the Revere House and then TO
the home Of his father. DR.. Davis at
tended him. This morning Farrell sent
up street for package Of cigarettes and
said he was all right He will be on the
streets in a day or two.
A warrant was being issued ont Of
Justice Powell's court this afternoon for
the formal arrest Of williams under the
charge Of assault with dangerous
weapon, when his bail will be fixed and
n time set for formal hearing which
may not be for two or three days, time
being given 10 Farrell 10 appear in per
son, whom II il thought will be out in
few days. This afternoon though his
head was paining him considerably.
The bullet simply made groove along
the outside Of the skull, and nothing
serious is now feared.
