THIRTY YEARS or CURE.
Bad Tickets.

New York.-A dispatch to the Times
from Paris says:
With regard to the stranded Amer
lean tourists, Mr.. Crawford declares
he has done his best for them and
that they will be finally compensated
He admits that both hotel and rail
way coupons were in many cases in
valid, and that the tourists have been
thrown on their own resources until
their steamer sails. Nor does he deny
that many tourists from Switzerland
had come to Paris, third class-that
is, with emigrant tickets paid for by
themselves.
In an interview, DR.. Hill of Salem
trustee of the Christian Endeavor
Society, attempts to minimize the i'm
portance of the affair, but admits that
$4,000 were tied up; that the railway
coupons were out of date and that the
tourist agency has been compelled to
refuse aid to the tourists.

"HOnest Joe" Stuart.

San Francisco.-"Honest Joe" Stu
art, once king of gamblers On the
Comstock lode, when the great silver
mines were pouring out millions every
week, is dead here in the hospital.
Stuart belonged to the small class of
high-rolling sports that Bret Harte
immortalized in John Oakhurst, and
to the day of his death his word was
as good as his bond. He was Ten
nesseean, who crossed the Plains in
'49, and when the Comstock mines
were opened he established gambling
palace in Virginia City, where Mackay,
Fair, Sharon and other millionaires
met him on equal terms, for they were
always sure of square deal in his
place, and good sport.
He played larger limits at faro than
any one else, and at poker he sat with
men who had $4,000 in chips be
them. He was generous, and gave
away several fortunes in charity, and
scores of unfortunate prospectors owed
their ultimate success to his aid. In
his last days he was penniless, but his
many friends contributed to his sup
port.

Almost Perished From Thirst.

Ell Paso. Tex, Aug. 27.-Three men
almost perished from thirst have been
found in the desert near the Cole
ranch, sixty miles north of Ell Paso.
One of the men is Prof. r. H. Cook,
who recently came to this city from
the East The men left Alamo Gordo,
N M, for Ell Paso on bicycles on
Thursday. On their route there is a
desert of sand seventy miles across
When the men had gone about thirty
miles their bicycles broke down and
they had to walk. One of the men
reached the Cole ranch, but had to be
treated for several hours before he
could speak.
Two men with jugs of water tied on
their saddles went back in search of
the missing men. One was found fif-
teen miles away exhausted and uncon-
scious in the sand and was brought to
the ranch. The other, Prof. Cook, was
found twenty miles further away in
spasms and would probably have died
in an hour had he not received water.
All the men are now in a critical con-
ditiOn.

SLANDERED HIS CHILD
Remarkable Story in a Sioux City Suit.

Sioux City, Iowa.-A fathers cal
umny, daughters love turned to bit
ter hate-that is the story that is but
partly told in a suit filed in the Dis
trict Court today. From it's title, Min
ME Hamilton VS.. Christian Peterson,
to the closing signature is but few
lines of damage suit for $4,000 for
malicious slander, but between those
few lines is a longer story that might
Fill volume. Mrs. Minnie Hamilton
is the daughter of Christian Peder-
son, a wealthy property-owner, who
now lives in San Francisco, but who
was formerly of Sioux City.
In her petition in the suit against
ther father Mrs. Hamilton alleges that
he circulated slanderous reports as to
her character and did irrepaable dam
age to he reputation for virtue and
chastity By his conduct she declares
that she has been damaged to extent
of $4,000, and she wants that sum.
The suit is the outgrOwth of a
long-standing' trouble between father
and daughter, which eliminated last
spring. The young woman, who is
about twenty-five years of age, mar
ried against her fathers wishes. He
hated to give up the daughter, and
thought to make use of various means
to get possession of her. He invoked
the aid of the police several months
ago and told story of willful wan
dering away from the paths of right
eousness. His conduct brought rather
notorious attention to his trouble with
his daughter, and his charges against
her were quite freely circulated.

WORK BEGUN ON NEW LINE

George B. Leighton knew what he
was saying when he said that work on
the new Salt Lake railroad would be-
gin in six days. Henry Hawgood, one
of the best-known civil engineers in
the city, is to be chief engineer. He
is already in the field running perlimi-
nary lines. The road will start East
from Hobart Station, Just below the
city, and cross at Laguna ranch. From
the San Gabriel River it is not stated
where it will go.
There is plenty of speculation as to
what pass the road will follow in get
ting out of this valley. The Tejunga
is to precipitous and tortuous; San
Gabriel is worse; San Antonio is as
bad or worse; Morengo is out of the
way-too far south. There remains,
the Cajon, now used by the Santa Fe,
and there is some doubt as to two
lines finding room in parts of that
pass. This leaves San GQrgonia, by
the process of exclusion as the one by
which the road is likely to get east

THE ONE MEDICINE

in the world which women may
rely upon positively. Pe-ru-na is
good for everyone, but particularly
for women. The various weak
nesses which afaict their delicate or
ganism spring from inflammation or
catarrh of the mucous lining, and Pe-ru-na
is specific for catarrh in any organ of
the body. Any congestion of mucous
simply means catarrh of the
organ affected. This is why Pe-ru-na
cures all sorts of troubles where other
remedies fail If there is catarrhal
affection the matter with you anywhere
Pe-ru-na will cure you.
