Oh, the Pain of
Rheumatism!

Rheumatism often causes the most in
tense suffering. Many have for years
vainly sought relief from this disabling
disease, and are to-day worse off than
ever. Rheumatism is blood disease,
and Swift's Specific is the only cure, be-
cause it is the only remedy which can
reach such deep-seated diseases.
A few years ago was taken with inflamma-
tory Rheumatism, which became so intense
that was for weeks unable to walk. I tried

INTERESTING REPORTS OF CAL
IFoRNIA CLUB MEMBERS.
A Wioe Diversity Of Action Along
the Lines of Ameliorating Con-
ditions Among the
Poor.

The rooms of the California Club were
filled to overfiowing Tuesday afternoon,
the occasion being the regular meeting of
that large and prosperous organization,
at which quarterly reports from the va
rious sections were to be read and dis
cussed.
Mrs. Lowell White, president of the
club, occupied the chair and presided with
her usual gracious dignity. Reports from
the various officers were first submitted
and were in every case of a most crafty
ing nature, showing as they did that the
club is making steady progress along the
lines marked out for it by the earnest
women who were instrumental in it's
formation a twelvemonth since. Three
new members were admitted, and Miss
Julia George presented a statement con-
published by the club, which statement
shows that a handsome profit has been
already realized by the sale Of the vol
ume, and that the demand is steadily in
Mrs. A. D. Sharon. chairman of the de-
partment OF education, spoke at some
length Of the boys public playground,

ment having proved that 1t is not wise to
open these grounds to all corners, a boys
athletic club has been formed the $50
members of which are to be depended
upon not to injure the paraphernalia or
deface the place in any way. Mrs. Sha-
ron also spoke of other work done by her
department, and of their wish to estab-
lish as soon as possible small but good
libraries for the benefit of the district
messenger boys.
Mrs. John Russ, chairman of the de-
partment of philanthropy, called upon
Mrs. George E. Bates, Miss Bertha Rick
off and Mrs. M. c. Bretherick of the sew
eral sections, to tell of their work on diff
ferent lines.
Mrs Bates, of the hospital section.
spoke very feelingly of the patients in the
hospital, their sufferings and their needs,
and very modestly told of what the ladies
associated with her had been so far able
to accomplish in their behalf
Miss Kickoff gave report of the new
ly established Working Girls Club in
South Park, known as the Porteous Club,

brief talk on her especial branch. She
congratulated her department on the

OGDEN, Utah, Feb. 8.-Last nights
snowstorm covered Ogden with sixteen
inches of snow, and it kept falling all
day. There is about eighteen inches
now and indications are there will be
more snow before morning. Railroad
and street car travel is blocked. There
have been no trains from the East to-
day, though two Union Pacific trains
probably will reach here before morn
ing. A big snowslide near Devils Gate
has practically interrupted telegraph
work and blocked the Union Pacific
again. 1t is the heaviest snow in Ogden
in fifteen years.
DENVER, Feb. 8.-A snowstorm rag
ing in the mountains has again tied up
the Colorado railroad lines to the west
to-day. No trains are running on the
Midland, although gangs Of shovelers
are persistently keeping at work. Two
passenger trains from the west on the
Denver and Rio Grande were stalled
between Leadville and Buena Vista and
two were held at Glenwood Springs.
Westbound trains do not go beyond
Salida. The Rio .Grande officials say
the main line will be reopened in few
hours. No further efforts are being
made TO clear the South Park tracks
in the vicinity Of Leadville. Trains
over the Union Pacific are getting
through, but are behind the schedule.
]. w. Stringer, secretary Of the Con-
tinental Land and Cattle Company, re-
ceived word to-day from it's Montana
and Texas ranches that the losses of
live stock would be very great as q re-
suit Of the long and general storms and
cold.
1.-The loss,'' said Mr. Springer, will
be general throughout the western
country from Montana down through
Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and
Texas. In some places it will undoubt-
edly reach so per cent, and will run
throughout the country between 10 and
33 per cent. The great loss of cattle
Is bound to make high prices during the
year, as the Government reports show
a shortage, and the demand of the
trade is greatly increased"

ALAMEDA OFFICIALS
SHARE CITY CONTRACTS
Charged by Business Rivals With
Insuring Public Buildings in
Companies for Which They
-. Are the A gents

ALAMEDA, Feb. S.-Local insurance
agents who were overlooked when the in
surance on the City Hall and other public
property was parceled out are very much
dissatisfied and threaten to stir up trouble
over the matter. Several city officials are
engaged in the fire insurance business on
the side, and a considerable share of the
risks on the City Hall and public schools
has been handled by them. The agents
who have been left out in the cold claim
that the fortunate ones. being city off,
cials, have no right to be interested in a
contract with the city, and that by so
doing they lay themselves liable TO re-
moval from office and subsequent prose-
eution.
The agents base their contention on sec
ton Sl1 article of the laws governing
cities of the fifth class, which reads:
''No officer of such city shall be inter-
ested, directly or indirectly, in any con-
tract with such city, or with any of the
officers thereof in their official capacity,
or in doing any work, or furnishing any
supplies for the use of such city or its
officers in their official capacity; and any
claim for compensation for work done. or

any such officer is interested, shall be

Foote'S Excerpt From the

Isaac w Balm, alias H. c.. Curtis, and
Mrs Ida Quinn, alias Mrs. Grace Allison,
alias Mrs. Ida Collins, alias Miss Smith,
were convicted by jury yesterday in the
United States District Court, and the un-
scrupulous brace of sharpers were COM
mitted to the custody of the United
States Marshal. They will be brought
into court tomorrow for sentence.
The offense of which they were con-
victed was using the mails for the pur
pose of defrauding unsophisticated va
hoos from California and Texas, and they
may be punished by Imprisonment Tor
eighteen months.
T. J. Crowley for the defense closed his
argument to the jury yesterday. He is a

quoted freely from Shakespeare to prove
the putative innocence of his clients, but
the force of his eloquence was neutralized
by United States Attorney Foote, who
quoted not only from Shakespeare, but
also from the Sermon on the Mount
which Mr. Crowley had inadvertently
overlooked. Mr.. Foote. barring the quo
tations mentioned, made plain business

ROBBED HER HOUSE
DURING HER ABSENCE
MRS. RICHIE MoURNS THE LOSS
OF VALUABLE JEwELRY.
Returned Home From the Theater to
Find That Thieves Had Helped
Themselves to Her Gems.

The home of Mrs. Richie, 909 Oak street.
was robbed last Saturday night by two
unknown men. The entire house was ran
sacked, and over $500 worth of jewelry
taken. 1t Is supposed the thieves effected
an entrance through one of the side win
dows during the attendance of Mrs.
Richie and her daughter at the theater.
Furniture was overturned, and the con-
tents of looted drawers strewn in confu-
sion on the floor. Nothing was taken,
however, except jewelry.
The attention of the woman occupying
the apartments above was attracted by
the noise made by the thieves in over
turning the furniture. She knew that rob-
bers must be in the house, as Mrs. Richie
had told her that it would be late before
she and her daughter returned. She i'm
mediately gave an alarm by opening one
of the windows facing the street and call
ing for help. She had hardly made the
first outcry when the thieves escaped
from the building through the window
The woman describes them as being of
ordinary build. She claims they both wore
overcoats, one of light and the other of
dark material.
The robbery was reported at police
Headquarters and the authorities assert
that the identity of the two men is known
and that it will be matter of only a day
or so before they are placed under arrest.

in San Francisco in 1901. A measure will
also be set afoot authorizing the counties,
cities and counties and municipalities to
make appropriations in furtherance of
the enterprise.
At the meeting of the special commit
tee on appropriations of the exposition,
which met in the Office of Charles L..
Patton yesterday, 1t was decided that the
committee should proceed to Sacramento
to-day and consult there with the Cover
nor and the members Of the San Fran

best to promote the interests of the big

expect to leave tonight.
Among the matters discussed at the
meeting yesterday was the manner in
which the S750, 900. pledged to the project
by the Supervisors of this city, could be
raised. Supervisor Lackmann called at
tention to the provision of the new char
ter, which will shortly be in force, fixing
worth of taxable property. An examina-
ton of the charter, however, discovered a
section which authorized the Board of Su-
perviSorS by unanimous vote, with the
approval of the Mayor, to increase the
tax levy in case of great necessity or

present that the holding of the fair would
