RAIL WAY WAR ON
At BAKERSFIELD
Valley Road Versus the
Southern Pacific.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BAKERSFIELD, April 15.-Merry war
is on between the Southern Pacific and the
Valley road. 1t arose over the excursion
to Fresno, where the Bakersfield and Raj
sin City men will play baseball to-mor-
row. When the excursion first was
broached its promoters went to the
Southern Pacific to arrange for a reduced
rate. They were told it would be fare
and a half, or 81 20. The Valley road Of
ficials were then seen. They made a rate
of one fare So. Then the Southern Pacific
made a rate Of 81 80, with the understand !
ing that passengers must go on regular
trains. The Valley road chopped to 81 90
and agreed to supply special train and
send Agent Kane along to extend all the
courtesies to the excursionists.
This made the Southern Pacific people
mad They declared the Valley road vio-
lated the ethics of railroading. They
then made a rate of 81 80 and hung blaz-
ing banner across the street on which
was inscribed
Grand Fresno Excursion-Baseball-
Bakersfield Athletics VS.. Fresno-Posi-
lively lowest rates Southern Pacific Com
pany Sunday, April 16. Choice of trains;
ample equipment"
An attempt was made to swing the ban
ner across the street from the Southern
Hotel, but before this was done Valley
road influence caused it to come down.
Then they made an attempt to swing it
from the Arlington Hotel. The same in
fluence prohibited it from going up there.
Finally the banner was moved down on
Nineteenth street and swung from the
City Hall to a vacant house. There 1t
fiutters tonight
Circulars of each company flew about
the streets all day, setting forth the Of
fers of the rival lines. Crowds of men
gathered here and there and talked ex-
citedly. When it was announced the
Valley road would have brass band go
along, back came the word that the
Southern Pacific would do likewise The
people are with the Valley road, notwith-
standing the Southern Pacific's lower
rate, and many declare they, would pay
full fare rather than go by the Southern
Pacific. A large crowd will make the trip.
Late this afternoon 1t was reported that
the Southern Pacific agent offered to sell
seventy-fve tickets for 81 25 each. The
people say the Valley road made a cheap
excursion possible, and now they will not
go back on the new company.

ALLEGED CRIME
Second Trial of James
Cuff Begun.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDDING, April 15.-The case of the
the Superior Court of Modoc County,
brings into prominence a dastardly at
tempt to take the lives of lover and
his sweetheart by a rival suitor. Three
years ago James Cuff and A. M. Mil
Ter were rivals for the hand Of Miss
Lusk. Cuff was wealthy and was de-
termined to win the young lady by fair
means or foul. Miss Lusk favored his
rival. When Cuff saw his case was
hopeless he attempted to take the life
Of the girl he professed to love.
One night he slipped up to her house,
tore off a window screen and threw a
handkerchief saturated with chloro-
form upon the face of his sleeping
sweetheart. The handkerchief found in
the room belonged to Cuff and the
tracks at the bedroom window cor
responded to those of Cuff.
A. NJ. Miller, the favored suitor, also
was the object of the rejected lover S
vengeance. Miller kept bachelor apart
ments. Strychnine was introduced into
his sugarbOwl-a full half ounce. He
put two teaspoonsful into his coffee
and few minutes after partaking of
the beverage was in convulsions. By
superhuman efforts his life was saved
Circumstantial evidence pointed to
Cuff as the poisoner He was arrested
tried. convicted and sentenced to
twenty years in the State penitentiary
The case was appealed to the Supreme
Court and new trial was ordered, on
the ground of irregularities. chemi-
cal analysis of the crystals remaining
in the strychnine phial and of the con-
tents of the sugar bowl had not been
made. To provide against a repetition
of this irregularity on the second trial
District Attorney Bonner sent to Red
ding for DR.. Ferdinand Stabel, an au-
thority on poisons and their effects
DR.. Stabel made chemical analysis of
the contents of the phial and the sugar
bowl and pronounced the foreign ele-
ment strychnine. On the first trial it
was brought out that Cuff had pur-
chased the poison in Alturas.
DR.. Stabel was on the stand three
days. He returned to Redding on Fri
day. The case is being tried before

Company Tied Up.

between the majority and the minority

suit They allege that the majority
stockholders, the San Francisco Bridge
faction, are attempting by fraud to OBJ
tain complete control of the dredging

pany. j. B. c. Lockwood, NJ. B. Lock-

lutions passed by a meeting of the board
of trustees, in which the minority stock
holders say they were not represented.
The dredging company, which has been
Incorporated but short time, has cap

told to go in and sit down. About
o'clock nearly every seat of the

a few minutes before o'clock. The
menu included soup, fish, roast beef,

NO MORE MILK
IN GLASS JARS
Sanitary Innovation at
Los Angeles.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, April 15.-The order
issued by the Los Angeles Board of
Health, forbidding dairymen to deliver
milk in glass jars to residences, went
into effect to-day.
Our object" said Health Officer
Powers in answering criticisms upon
the measure, lis to compel people to
furnish their own receptacles for milk.
This involves largely a question Of mi
crobes. Glass jars cannot be sterilized.
This was the ground on which a SINH
lar order was made recently in Eng
land. People are less .cleanly about the
milk they use than almost anything
else. Many people are simply ignorant
on the subject. Others are careless.
Glass jars can be thoroughly sterilized
with hot water, with hot air, which is
used in New York, or by other pro-
cesSes, but it is not always done.
"One housekeeper may cleanse a jar
thoroughly, another may only rinse it,
while another may use the bottle for
various purposes, or let it stand un-
covered on the back porch before re-
turning it. The dairymen should see
that all bottles are scalded before US
ing Sometimes they do; generally they
don't. Then bottles are distributed
again and again, the same one prob
ably never going twice to one house.
This creates a wholesale opportunity
for carrying infection.
People would not think of using a
lineup or dish of any kind that was
passed from house to house, yet 1t
would be no worse than to use these
milk jars that have been goodness
knows where.
1T is a question similar to that of
the use of towels in public schools. "
continued DR.. Powers. "A State law
requires schools to be supplied with
towels. Possibly 100, 200 or 300 children
may use one towel, and it would bS
hard to find 100 children without a sick
one among them. 1t is poor law and
leads to a filthy and unsanitary prac-
tice.
"Of course, it is the same with a
towel in any public place. No one
wants to use a towel that has been
used by a sick person; but how is he
going to know who used it before him
The sooner people learn the danger of
the promiscuous use of such things the
sooner disease will decrease"

THEY RIDICULE TT.
Many People Ridlcule the Idea of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
And Stomach Troubles.
Ridicule, However, Is Not Argu-
ment, and Facts Are Stub
born Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and In
most cases so obstinate to cure that peo-
pie are apt to look with suspicion on any
remedy claiming to be radical, perma-
nent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion.
Many such pride themselves on their
acuteness in never being humbugged, es-
pecially in medicines.
This fear Of being humbugged can be
carried too far; SO far, in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak diges-
tion rather than risk a little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims
made of a preparation so reliable and uni
versally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets.
Now, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not secret pat

Of their ingredients but analysis shows
them to contain the natural digestive
ferments, pure asceptic pepsin. the diges-
tis and nux. They are not cathartic,
neither do they act powerfully on any
organ but they. cure. indigestion on the
common sense plan of digesting the food
ferment sour and cause the mischief.
This is the only secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach troub-
les because they act entirely on the bow
els, whereas the whole trouble is really
in the stomach.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food. That Is all there
Is to it. Food not digested or half digest
ed is poison as 1t creates gas. acidity,
headaches, palpitation of the heart, loss
of flesh and appetite and many other
troubles which are often called by some
other name.
