TAROENA FOOD co.
Gentlemen:-I wish to send you tes-
timonial of what your food has done
for us, and to say that we are grateful
is expressing it very mildly.
Our baby weighed at birth 10 lbs.
and was as lovely a badly as you ever
saw, but from the first he could not
keep anything on his stomach and he
suffered terribly for over three months.
Every particles of food given him came
up almost Immediately. How he lived
1 do not know. The skin was drawn
over the bones without a particle of
flesh. We did everything, we, or the
doctor could think of, but to no avail.
We tried every food we or anyone else
here had ever heard of. One day we
took him to a specialist who said the
baby had only one chance left and that
was, to try TAROENA, which we did
right away. 1t seemed to be just the
food needed and the baby gained at
once. He now weighs 20 lbs. and is a
big roll of fat thanks to TAROENA.
Can anyone wonder we are so anxious
to send word of our gratitude. Hoping
that every parent that has a sickly
baby try TAROENA we remain, sin
cerely and gratefully yours.

esergs sussssr. The Defendant, Ito Last
Witness to Testify.
Loses His Temper During the Ex-
animation and Confesses to
Crimes for which He II Not
Now on Trial, One Of Which
Was the Burning Of Delaney's
Barn.

SALINAS, Nov 6-The George Sues
ser murder trial commenced the second
week of the hearing of the case this
morning. Witnesses for the defense oc-
cupied the morning session, and only
three testified the mother, the father
and the sister of the assassin.
All testified that on the night OF the
fatality George was crazy; that about
. o'clock he kissed his mother good-by,
and asserted he was going to blow his
own brains out. He took a. shotgun
and rushed from his fathers house. The
parents begged him not to go and tried
to hold him, but could not.
The prisoner was visibly affected
while his mother was testifying, but
after that assumed an air of bravado.
This afternoon Suesser took the stand
on his own behalf. He lost his tenn
per during the examination, and con-
fessed to crimes for which he is not
now on trial. He said that he had COM
mitted arson because Delaney, who had
him arrested for stealing harness, ac-
cused him of being a fire bug" and he
thought he would have satisfaction by
setting fire to the accuser's property.
He said he exchanged shots with OFF,
Ger Allen, and had dim recollection of
firing shots at the house which nearly
proved the death of the Delaney fam
lily, but from that time until the Off
GERS tore off the planks of his fathers
house to capture him his mind was a
blank
He testified that he had been intoxi-
Gated for several days after his arrest
as a thief. and .brooding over this
trouble probably caused him to kill
Farley, but he did not intend to shoot
him.
The defense presented evidence to
show that the murdered Sheriff and
Suesser were on the best of terms, and
closed its case
The arguments will begin tomorrow.
Extraordinary precautions are being
taken to prevent any demonstration

BODY CUT INTO FOUR PARTS.
Locomotive Engineer Meets Death
In q Terrible Manner.

REDDING, Nov. civilian p. Has
kell, an engineer on the Iron Mountain
Railway, met with death in a terrible
manner near midnight Sunday. His
engine and four cars jumped the track
and rolled down the grade. Haskell
was caught in the wreck, and his body
was cut into four parts and crushed
beyond recognition. His fireman, Geo.
Dodge, was painfully, although not Sc
riously injured.
At the time of the accident Haskell
was backing the four cars into switch
just above Keswick. The conductor
and brakeman got of the train to at
tend to the switches. When near the
sidetrack, from some unknown cause,
the engine jumped the track. The four
cars followed, piling on top of the en-
CINE at the foot of the grade.
The unfortunate engineer must have
been instantly killed. He was unmar-
ried. Sunday was the thirtieth ami
versary of his birth, and just before
starting on the fatal trip he received
some pleasant remembrance of the day
from his parents. The funeral has been
set for Tuesday.

The Philippine Aborigincs.

The Negritos are the aborigines OF

of the Malays, they probably occupied
all this island group, and many of the
numerous islands which lie in the Pa
cific to the southwark. Some of them
are found to-day in. the peninsula OF
Malacca and the Andaman Islands. In
Java they have recently died out II
is likely that some of them still exist
in the forests Of Borneo and in the in
terror of other large islands. Half
breed Negritos are found from India tC

amalgamated with the savage tribes oil

AN OLD SEA DOG.
Captain Tom Scott and the Race
Rock Lighthouse.


One morning, in answer to an adver-
tisement, a bifurcated sea dog-three
parts fish and one part man-strong as
a bull, clear-eyed, honest, competent
and fearless, walked into my office a
stranger, and thirty minutes later
walked out again as foreman of con-
struction. The acquaintance begun
then has continued since, until it has
ripened into the closest friendship. At
that time this man was forty years of
age, and in the prime of his strength.
and at the beginning of an experience
now SO widely known. He had removed
the wreck of the Scotland off Sandy
Hook, doing the diving himself; had
laid with his own hands under water
many of the big foundation stones of
the sea wall for the Dock Department
of New York; and was in every way
fitted, both as a diver and submarine
engineer, for the work. References.
usually considered necessary in a first
interview, and generally confirmed by
subsequent inquiries or written recon-
mendations, never once entered into
the negotiations between us. No man or
child could look Captain Thomas A.
Scott In the face without instantly
believing in him, and no act in his after
life could shake that belief. And it is
to men like him, who risk their lives
daily. in the construction of our coast
lights and defenses, and in manning
the boats of our life-saving stations,
that the country owes much of its
strength; men who have never clamor-
ed for their rights, nor organized them
appealed to Legislatures for help-men
who are as brave as they are modest.
A year ago this same old sea dog-he
is gray now and there is big bald
spot on the back of his head, and he is

one Of the robbers assaulted him over

juring him.
The robbers then stood the men up
