Story of q Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. Geo. ID. Williams, OF
Manchester, Mich, tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: "My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles OF Elec-
trio Bitters, she is wonderfully improv-
cd and able TO do her own work. This
supreme remedy for female diseases
quickly cures nervousness, sleepless-
ness, melancholy, headache, backache,
fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle
working medicine is a godsend to weak
sickly, run down people. Every bottle
guaranteed. Only so cents. Sold by

Are we to have base ball team in
our city this season? This is the ques-
ton that it being asked by many sports
who are getting anxious for the matter
to assume definite shape. Brt nothing
can be done until the ball i .ngpublic
produce some one one to assume the
management There was in '98 a ball
committee who should, now that the
season is drawing near, take the
matter in hand, call meeting and
appoint manager. Surely we had a
team last year we were proud of hay
ing met defeat only a few times and
then always owing to imported players.
All OF our last seasons players are
still in town. With such players rs
Mumford, McFadden, Ganey, Pearsall,
Morrisey and others, we can put in a
winning team, which, can assure you,
can make it interesting for the minor
league clubs. So let the public get to-
gether, as the matter rests with them,
and call meeting as soon as possible
Come ye base ball cranks and help the
movement along. Surely you are still
with us.

Death of X. r. Edwards.
Summerland, (Cal.) Advance.

| Summerland (Cal.) Advance.
After a brave struggle, lasting fol
more than year, on Monday morn
| ing, March 13, r. F. Edwards finally
succumbed to consumption and passed
| peacefully away, surrouded by his sor
rowing wife and relatives. The fun.
eral services were held at Liberty Hal
on Tuesday afternoon. Rev. Mr.
Westenberg, pastor of the Santa Bar
bara Methodist Episcopal church, off
ciated. A large attedance of relatives
and friends of the deceased were pres.
ent. In his sermon Mr.. Westenberg
dwelt on the solace to be found in the
hope of a future state that is founded
on a faith in Jesus and an unshaken
belief in the teachings of the Bible.
Without this faith, he said, poor
humanity was adrift, helpless hulk
upon un unknown sea. He quoted
the words Of the prophet Isaiah, who
compared it the shadow of a great rock
in a weary land. On this theme he
made moving discourse that brought
tears to the eyes ofmany of his hearers.
After the services the remains were
carried to the station by the pail
bearers and shipped to Los Angeles,
where they were deposited in the plot
belonging to the Typographical Union
of that city.
Many beautiful floral pieces covered
the casket and the hall was tastifully
decorated with evergreens and flowers.
Richard Franklin Edwards was born
born at Bloowsburg, Pa, August %,
1870. He came to this coast in 1893,
stopping at Tacoma, Wash. In 1895
he came to Los Angeles and in 1896
came to Summerland to take partner
ship in the Advance-Courier, retiring
from the newspaper business to accept
a position as salesman for the cigar
firm of Snyder & Davis. When this
firm dissolved partnership he returned
to Los Angeles to take his old position
as compositor on the Morning Herald.
1t is supposed that arduous labor, COM
bined with exposure, first planted the
seed Of the dread disease which ulti-
mately caused his death. That Dick
was highly esteemed and well beloved
by all who knew him was demonstrated
by the unceasing care and general
interest that was taken in him during
his long illness. Peace to his ashes,
and may his poor, troubled soul find
rest in that long sleep in the misty
beyond for which he yearned SO long
before his passing
