DR.. K1LMER,s REMEDIES.
FREE TO MILLIONS OF
SUFFERERS.
New Cure for Kidney, Bladder and
Uric Acid Troubles.

Almost everybody who reads the
newspapers is sure to know of Swamp
Root.
1t is the great medical triumph of the
nineteenth century; discovered after
years of scientific research by the emf
nent kidney and bladder specialist, DR..
Kilmer, and has truly wonderful pow
ers in curing kidney, liver, bladder and
uric acid diseases.
Kidney trouble is responsible for more
sickness and sudden deaths than any
other disease, and is so deceptive that
thousands have it without knowing it.
Thousands owe their health and even
life to Swamp-Root and thousands
more who to-day think themselves be-
yond help, can be made we'll by the use
of this great remedy.
. Swamp Root has been tested in SO
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice among the helpless, too poor
to purchase relief, and has proved so
successful in every case that special
arrangement has been made by which
all readers of The Call, who have not
already tried it, may have a sample
bottle sent absolutely free by mail.
Also a book telling more about Swamp
Root and containing some of the thou
sands upon thousands of testimonial
letters received from men and women
who owe their good health, in fact,
their very lives, to the wonderful cura-
tive properties of Swamp-Root. Be sure
and mention the San Francisco Daily
Call when sending your address to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y.
If you are already convinced that
Swamp-Root is what you need, you can
purchase the regular fifty-cent and one
dollar size bottles at drugstores

WILLIAM ]. ROBERTS Is
ACCUSED OF SWINDLING
ENGLISHMAN CHARGED WITH
PASSING BOGUS CHECKS.
Gets $40 From the Clerk Of the Occi-
dental-Many Victimized for
Small Amounts.

w. j. Roberts registered at the Occf-
dental from Oakland on Saturday, FebrIl-
airy Is, and next day broke the Sabbath
and incidentally the laws of this State by
passing a bogus check calling for SO on
an accommodating clerk of the hotel.
Roberts made no representations at all
when he engaged a room, but paid the
sum of 81 for two days in advance
he was never seen lounging around the
office, but on Sunday evening he came
in with c. c. Gardner, an insurance agent
OF San Jose. There is a diversity of opfn-
ion between the clerk and Gardner as to
whether the latter vouched for Roberts
but the fact is that the smooth Young
man got the $40 and a bogus check now
Teposes In the Occidental safe. OF course
possibly never will be. 1t is said he prac-
uced similar methods in San Jose and
santa Cruz, with several other counties

Roberts, who is an Englishman about
% years DID,. became acquainted with
getting his life insured, giving his note as
security for the premium. In making out
his application he represented himself as
and that he was graduate of Oxford.
he furnished such good proof of his finan-
cial and social standing that Gardner was
completely taken in and introduced the
scamp to number of people of means

1t was his practice. however, to return
whatever sums of money he borrowed of
Gardner, probably to retain, the latter"s
good opinion for obvious purposes.
Finally, when Gardner came to this
city, Roberts followed him, and being in
troduced to more persons of social stand
ing he did them up also and then had the
nerve TO invite his victims to the Univer-
sity Club for luncheon, of which he said
he was a member. They all put in an APP
pearance, but the Roberts they looked for
never came.
While he was in this city Roberts took

H, P TAYLOR
IN A SPECIAL
DREAMING PART
HaIIuCinationS About
a Football cam.
WOULD BE A GREAT MANAGER
ATHLETES RIDICULE HIS ABB
SURD PROPOSITIONS.
without Representative Authority
He Arranges for Schedule of I'M
possible Games With the Big
Eastern Colleges.

Howard P. Taylor. erstwhile football
player. ex-Olympic Club athlete and the
atrlcaI impresario has been giving full
sway to his fervfd imagination while in
the East, in consequence of which he will
have several unpleasant seances with the
college football men upon his return TO
this coast.
AS published in yesterdays Call the
athletic. committee OF the University of
California denounced Taylor's action in
regard to the arrangement of a series of
games to be played between an all-Calf-
fornia football eleven and the big East
ern teams during the coming fall. 1t ap-
pears that Taylor took it upon himself
to represent the college men of this State
and without delegated authority to ar
range matched games between the picked
California and any or all the giant ag-
gregations of football talent in the East
ern States
The impracticability of his scheme is
apparent on the face of il. The follow
ing is the schedule of games Taylor has
or imagines he will arrange: October IS,
Yale al New Haven: November 4, Har-
ward at Cambridge; November 7. Prince
ton at Princeton November II, Columbia
at New York: November IS, University of
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia; November
Is. West Point; November 80, the Carlisle

had business elsewhere at that particular

time.
The event of 1he evening was rafting
six-round contest between Doc Flynn
of the South End Rowing Club and Pete
MCGEE of the Princeton Athletic Club
The men fought like Trojans from the
first to che last round MCGEE -, was sa,,a as
punished badly by Flynn. he fought every
inch of ground like a game fellow that
he is, hoping that chance blow might
land him winner.
Flynn fought cautiously during the
bout, and in the fifth and sixth rounds he
brought a liberal flow of claret from the
nasal appendage OF his opponent, which
decorated the floor of the ring in colors
resplendent.
Flynn was declared the winner, but the
directors of the club. who always appre-
ciate a man of game qualities, did not
forget the defeated man. MCGEE was hon
ored with a special prize. which in point
of value will not be far behind the prize
won by his successful opponent.
The entertainment. although spoiled in
a measure by the "cOld feet fraternity,
was decidedly pleasing to the large and
appreciattve assemblage of sport lovers.

Indians at New York; December 2, Uni
versity of Chicago at Chicago; December
9, Wisconsin at Chicago; December 49,
Club; and December %, Multnomah at
Portland.
All this appears in a letter to Pete
Smith, captain of the Olympics. and from
the tone of the communication the sky
soaring date-fxer actually believes what
he writes.
The college men treat TayIor's plans as
mental vagaries. In the first place, he
wipes out ex cathedra the annual inter-
collegiate game between California and
Stanford, something which provokes their
contempt for his understanding. Another
giaring hallucination is that the college
men will pack their traps, quit their
studies and embark upon his chimerical
ventures without forethought and
merely at his bidding. The Eastern
papers seem to take Taylor seriously, and
publish now and then a prospectus Of. his
coming ball campaign on the gridiron.
Taylor writes that his team will go into
practice about September 1, work six
weeks on the gridiron and then start out
on their itinerary. His schedule is such
that no team with the constitution of an
iron horse could possibly play With in
term1sSions of three days he would have
his team meet the greatest football elev-
ems in the world, which is practically
physical suicide
The men whom Taylor honors with his
choice are sixteen taken from the follow
ing:
acknowledgements. Prfngle, Craig,
Hall, kaarsberg, Sherman, Smith. Stan
ford-Ray Smith, Carries Fickert Bur
nett, Murphy, HARRISON, Fisher, Cotton,
Frankenhelmer, Code. Olympic-Oliver,
Erskine, Sexton. Pete Smith, Morse.
Hobbs, Sheehy.
Taylor speaks of some probable changes
in the schedule. The men whom he hoped
to play will admit of but one possible
ehange-a cessation of Taylor's waking

John Toomey, aged 19 years, living at
