A Free Trial Package Sent by Mail
to All Who Write.

Free trial packages of a most remarka
BILE remedy are being mailed to all who
will write the State Medical Institute.
They cured so many men who had bat
tied for years against the mental and
physical suffering of lost manhood that
the Institute has decided to distribute
free trial packages to all who write. 1t
is home treatment and all men who
suffer with any form of sexual weakness
resulting from youthful folly, premature
loss of strength and memory, weak back,
varicocele or emaciation of parts can now
cure themselves at home.
The remedy has a peculiarly grateful
effect of warmth and seems to act direct
to the desired location. giving strength
and development just where 1t is needed.
1t cures all the ills and troubles that
come from years of misuse of the nat
ural functions and has been an absolute
success in all cases. A request to the
State Medical Institute, 1913 Elektron
building, FIT. Wayne, Ind, stating that
you desire one of their free trial pack
ages will be complied with promptly. The
Institute is desirous of reaching that
great class of men who are unable to
leave home to be treated, and the free
sample will enable them to see how easy
it is to be cured of sexual weakness when
the proper remedies are employed. The
Institute makes no restrictions. Any man
who writes will be sent a free sample,
carefully sealed in plain package, so
that its recipient need have no fear Of
embarrassment or publicity. Readers are
requested to write without delay.

PLOT TO OPEN
THE |NGLES|DE
RACE COURSE
Secret Planning of
Arch Schemers.
OUTLINE OF THE CONSPIRACY
GOLDEN PROMISES TO THE OUT
GOING SUPERVISORS.
Canvass of the Board Shows That the
Hopes Of the Agitators
Are Without Foun-
dation.

Ingleside's tragic record of disgrace.
defalcations and death was spread be-
fore the world in The Call of Friday,
March 3, 1899. The history of the closing
of the track and the expulsion of the
horde that brought misery, degradation
and death to many households need not
be told again, but II Is time to warn the
community that a conspiracy is Matching
to provide ways and means for reopening
the course.
OF late there have been secret
gatherings attended by men of the
Rainey Crimmins and Lanigan type.
who are plotting TO restore the old order
of things at lngleside. The schemers
believe that the public conscience is dulled
and public vigilance is relaxed. They
fancy that men sitting in the Board OF
Supervisors may be persuaded or induced
to view the suppression of racing at
Ingleside in a manner at variance with
former views. Corrigan, the Master OF
Hawthorne" is here taking observations
and giving the schemers the benefit of his
advice. While the meetings have been
held in secret The Call has managed to
ascertain the motives and something or
the plans proposed by the conSplrators.
The advocates of an open course, where
pool-Selling and bookmaking shall be ulti-
mately tolerated. do not propose to sweep
away all barriers at the first attack, but
hope to gain their ends by gradual ap-
proaches. Their present plan is to care
fully sound outgoing Supervisors to ascer-
tain how far they will dare go in opposi-
ton to the pronounced public sentiment
against the old form of racing and gam
bling at the track. The schemers believe
that some of the Supervisors are about
ready to weaken. Reports brought in by
Crimmins, Rainey and Lanfgan may JUS
tify this belief in the secret circles of the
schemers.
An ordinance repeating the existing pro-
hibition will not be recommended, as the
leaders in the movement to reopen Ingle-
side are convinced that such an ordinance
would be vetoed by Mayor Phelan. 1t has
been suggested, therefore, that efforts be
directed to obtain support of a majority
of the Board Of Supervisors in favor of a
simple resolution allowing races to be
conducted at the track. 1t is contended
that the Mayors objection to such a
resolution would not defeat its purpose,
for the reason that his signature would
not be required to make the resolution eff
fective.
The Call is in possession of information
obtained by a close canvass of the board
that sufficient number of Supervisors
cannot be tempted by the golden prom
ises Of the conspirators and touts to
change their views of the situation.

AT GARIBALDI HALL.

Garibaldi Hall, on Broadway near Mont
gomery street, was crowded last night
with enthusiastic Republicans of the
Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth Assembly
Districts. George NJ. Perine acted as
chairman and introduced Colonel T. v.
Eddy as the first speaker. Colonel Eddy
said that since the Supreme Court had de-
cided in favor of the new charter the
Republicans had shown a more deter
mined attitude and were now more con-
fident of winning a fight that their oppo-
nentS declared at the beginning of the
campaign was hopeless. As election day
approached this confidence asserted itself
in the ranks of the Republican party
stronger and stronger. Horace Davis pos
sessed all the good traits of his polit-
ical opponent and naught could be said
against his character. What he had done
for San Francisco and for California was
concluded, keep up this feeling of con-
ndence, take off your coats and work
from now on, and on the Sth day of No
Yember you will be proud to shake the
hand of our next Mayor-Horace Davis"
The Kntckerbocker quartet favored the
audience with some campaign selections
and William A Deane, Charles A. Low,
William Watson and w. z. Tiffany ad-
dressed the meeting.
Horace Davis then entered the hall and
was loudly cheered as he stepped to the
his remarks, said that it was his inten-
ton, If the people saw fit to make MIN
Mayor of their city, to give them In re-
turn a good, clean and honest admins
tration.

CAHILLS COULD NOT
DISMISS DIVORCE SUIT

OAKLAND, Oct. 24.-After the scoring
she received at the hands Of Superior
Judge Greene yesterday Mrs. Margaret
Cahill who is being sued for divorce by
her husband, Christopher C. Cahill,
seemed more inclined to-day to settle mat
ters out of court.
When the matter of counsel fees and
costs came up again this morning 1t de-
veloped that the parties had called at the
County Clerks office, stating that they
desired the whole proceedings dismissed.
A blank had been given them, such as
is used for dismissals, and this they had
signed, but Judge Greene declined to rec
ognize the same as final, advising that
the dismissal could not very we'll be ac-
complshed without the consent of their
attorneys. The matter, therefore, was
once more continued until next Monday
to enable them to arrange matters with
their attorneys.

DIRECTORS ARE
LOOKING FOR A
GOOD WARDEN n
Robert McKillican in
View.

The State Prison Directors are carefully
looking over the field to find Warden to
fill the vacancy at the Folsom prison
caused by the death Of Charles Aull-
Among the men considered was Thomas
Cunningham of San Joaquin, whose eX-
tended and able services as Sherin OF that
county are recognized throughout the
State. The Directors, after mature deiib-
Grafton have reached the conclusion that
the new Warden al Folsom should be
man in the prime OF lie, with an apuu-
dance of physical vitality and great per-
sonal energy.
Recently a number Of prominent men
Democrats and Republicans-held con
ference and decided to ask Robert NC
Killican of Alameda County 70 become a
candidate The suggestion of Mr.: Mchll-
licans name was received with 1aVor Dy
several of the State Prison Directors, as
they recognized in him man possessing
the qualifications that rendered the late
Warden Aull so efficient and acceptable.
When Mr. McKillican was sounded TO as
certain If he would serve If elected he
said TO his friends that he was not can
didate and was not seeking the ONCE, yet
If the Prison Directors should regard MIN
as a man whose services were needed
and should offer him the positloh he
It is known that Mr.. McKillican has the
support Of many earnest Democrats ana
Republicans. He made an excellent rec
ord as Sheriff of Alameda County, win
ming the confidence and respect of lead
ing men in ooth political parties. In the
political arena he is known as straight
out Democrat.
The Prison Directors find 1t no easy task
to discover the material for first-class
Warden. The man at the immediate head
of prison affairs should possess number
of qualifications. He should be firm,
brave. vigilant, patient and just. Strength
of character should be united with vigor
of mind and body. Those about him and
around him are constantly on the. alert
to detect a weak place In his makeup.
In many respects Charles Aull was the
ideal Warden. Men filing subordinate
authority and convicts knew that he was
not a weakling. Mr. McKillican is
strong. even-tempered, well-balanced man
of sound judgment, resolute in purpose,
but Withal patient and kind.

THIRTIETH DISTRICT DEM
OCRATS.

The Democrats of the Thirtieth Assem-
bly, District met last evening in the San
Francisco Athletic Club rooms, at Sixth
and Shipley streets. A bonfire and a
brass band were a part of the attractions
The other attractions were the wander
ing candidates for office on the Demo-
cratic ticket, P. j. Tomalty presided and
Introduced the speakers. Mayor Phelan,
Major Geary, L. F. Byington, R. P.
Doolan, Franklin K. Lane and half a
dozen others were on the speaking list.
The. principal speech of the evening was
made by Mayor Phelan. He said that the
Republicans of the city could not be
trusted because they were controlled by
corporations and they would serve the
corporations If they were elected to office.
he hedged very strongly on this PROPOSE
ton on second thought, and said that
for him and he hoped that they would
discard national political principles and
vote for the Democratic ticket,

District Meetings Degenerate
Into Societies for Mutual
Admiration.

The Democratic district mass-meetings
have degenerated into societies for mutual
admiration. The speakers are limited to
the candidates and they limit themselves
to self-laudation. The performance has
beer. repeated so often that ii ceases to
have even the interest of novelty. In
Progress Hall on Twenty-fourth street
last night the usual programme was car
ried out The Democrats of the Thirty
sixth District crowded the hall and dis
played marked fortitude and patience in
waiting for Mayor Phelan, who did not
arrive until after 10 o'clock. While wait
ing for him the other speakers made their
ordinarily bad speeches worse by making
them long.
Those that now occupy public places
told their hearers of ali the reforms that
have been worked in municipal affairs
and as usual took all the credit to them
selves. The Dodge charts were, of course
there and the versatile and voluble doctor
told what q good man he is and how he
loved the people. Franklin *. Lane re-
lated all the victories he has won and
assured his listeners that If he is not re-
elected the city will go completely to the
demnition bow-wows. The four nominees
for Police Judges took turns describing
their virtues and Osgood Putnam in

SUCCESSFUL BURGLARS.

Two daring burglars entered the resi-
dence of Louis Ferrea at 1888 San Jose
avenue last Sunday night, and succeeded
in making quite rich haul of diamonds,
ieweIry and cash. The thieves effected
an entrance TO the Ferrea premises by
prying open a window at the rear Of the
house. The doors inside the house were
ali unlocked, so the housebreakers had
free access to every room from the
kitchen to the front parlor. They rifled the
bureau drawers in Ferrea's sleeping
apartments and carried off valuable jew
efry belonging to his wife Ferreas gold
watch and chain was taken from his vest

BURGLARS MAKE
A BOLD RAID
Of RESIDENCES
The Western Addition
Suffers.

A gang Of burglars committed whole
sale burglaries in the fashionable pre-
cincts of the Western Addition last night
Within two hours four residences were
broken into and looted, and in three cases
the thieves escaped with their booty and
in each case they succeeded In getting
away without being SEEN The police
were notified Immediately by telephone to
the Central station, but before the detec-
tives arrived the house-breakers were op-

They first broke into the residence of
Mrs S. II. Proctor at 1917 Webster street
Mrs Proctor was visiting friends. and the
burglars forced the front door open with

and carried off clothing. jewelry and other
valuables. The richest haul was made at
the residence of Attorney Barclay Henley,
2131 Green street.
Here they succeeded in carrying off al
most a sackful Of valuable silverware
from the dining room, and jewelry, dia-
monds and other valuables from Mr..
Henley's sleeping apartments. The burg
lars opened the front door with skeleton
keys.
it is presumed that the house-breakers
had a lookout on the other side of the
street to notify them when the oppor-
tunity to touch of" the residence was
ripe. Henley returned shortly after the
burglars left and he Immediately reported
the matter TO police headquarters. While
the police were looking over Mr.. Henley's $
residence for a clew the daring thieves
were busily engaged plying their trade in
a residence at 2O44 Jones street, where
they were also successful in getting away
with valuable jewelry.
Their last effort was at the home of E.
A. Maxheld, at 1914 Washington street,
and here they met with defeat. Mrs.
Maxfield had just retired when she was
awakened by footsteps in the front yard.
By the time burglars opened a window
at the rear Of the place she was moving
about with a light, thus frightening them
off The police visited Mrs. Maxfleld's $
house shortly after midnight hoping to
get description of the men.
