characteristics which differentiate the
biographical bug from all the other bugs
IN the buzzing realm of bugdom are not
uninteresting. There is as a matter OF
fact, something grewsOmely fascinating
about this particular kind of mania
which has SO lately pulled me into its
excited and pulsing vortex Fun2

before.
Looking at the thing now, taking a
broad view Of the perspective. the little
amusements which crowded into my life
IN the erstwhile to thrill me momentar-
lly with a sDasm of delight seem dull
indeed in comparison with the newer
sensations of the biographical bug Even
the little climaXes, when the feeling of
ecstasy touched the high water mark,
are but leaden, lifeless memories, prOsaic,
uninspiring inanities.
Lately, in following out the routine
of my calling, it became necessary for
me TO enter upon d comprehensive
scheme of collecting the life sketches OF
various important personages biogra oh

SHE ESCAPED THE KNIFE.
Ten Months Of Peace After Dreadful
Suffering.

Operations are becoming a fad; every
young man, as soon as he is graduated
from a medical college. considers him
self capable of undertaking the most
serious and complicated surgical work,
and hundreds of lives are sacrificed an
nually to this mad frenzy of incompe-
tent men, to rush into work which
should only be undertaken as a last re-
sort, and then only by the most expert
enced and careful surgeons.
1t is a pleasure, in view of these facts,
to read the following letter from a Wo-
man who has been saved from one Of
these dangerous operations: I know l
should have informed you long ago re-
garding my case of piles and the good
done me, and I believe am cured. Last
December I sent for your book have

before 1 had suffered for the last eleven
years, and at the time I wrote had
given birth to a child. and they came
down with the delivery Of the child by
the handful. I could not get them back
and I suffered everything. and the doc
tor said nothing but an operation would
ever relieve me; but read of your rem
edy in our daily newspaper and I told
my husband to get me a box and
would give it a trial before eonsenting
to the knife. and thanks be TO your Won
derful medicine, I was saved from the
operating table
Every person suffering from piles
that my husband and myself hear of,
we recommend your wonderful medl-
cine. I just used one s1.o0 box of Pyra-
mid Pile Cure and two boxes Of Pyra-

HAVE HAD THEIR DAY.
Old Fashioned Medicines For Catarrh
No Longer In Vogue.

For many years past the usual treat
ment for catarrh diseases was with
local douches. sprays. inhalers and
liquid medicines composed principally
of alcohol. all of which never cured
but simply give the temporary relief
and stimulation
A thorough cure can be made only by
the treatment which removes the ca
larrnal polsons from the blood.
A new remedy which meets the re-
qulrements and which SO far has been
remarkably successful in curing ca
tarrh is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membrane only
They can hardly be classed ais a
secret patent medicine as they are
composed Of such valuable remedies
ar blood root. Hydrastin. red gum Of
Eucalyptus tree and similar antisep-
tics combined in tablet form. which
cure by eliminating from the blood and
mucous membrane the poisons of ca
tarrh.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are large.
pleasant tasting lozenges 10 be taken
internally, allowing them to dissolve
in tie mouth. thus reaching the throat.
trachea and finally the stomach.
If desired they may also be dissolved
in water and used s douche. in addi-
ton TO the internal use but it is not
at all necessary to use dOuche, a few
OF them dissolved in the mouth daily
VIII be sufficient. However. when there
is much stoppage of the nose a douche
made from these tablets VIII give i'm
mediate relief, but the regular daily use
internally viii cure the whole catarrhal
trouble without resorting to the in
convenience OF douche.
DR. Bennett stated that the internal
treatment of catarrh by means Of
pleasant medicated tablets is RAPIDLY
taking the place of douches and local
applications" and further saws that
probably the best and certainly the
safest remedy at present on the mar
ket is the Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. as
no secret is made of their composition
and all the really efficient catarrh rem
edies are concentrated in this tablet

COMPLIMENTS CALIFORNIA.
Paul Morton Says That It Is a Desir-
able Country.

Vice President Paul Morton of the
Santa Fe who is at present sojourning
in Southern California. has many nice
things to say about this section, says
the san Bernardino Sun. Among other
things he remarks:
Il believe that there are more per-
sons in California this winter than ever
before. As a general thing it is a bet
ter class Of folks than ever. I think the
persons who have come here are better
satisfied with California. one peculiar
ity is that the travel to California this
winter IS largely represented by the
very wealthy persons from the far east
ern states; persons who generally go to
the south Of France, to Egypt and sim
liar foreign resorts.
There are many people who would
come here every summer if they really
knew how delightful the climate is upon
this coast. I hope that the California
papers viii do their share in bringing
the tourists here.
There is another matter I wish to
refer to. All the new hotels are filed
ana are doing well. There is no reason
why capital should hesitate to invest IN
additional hotel facilities. First class
houses conducted in first class manner
viii make money New hOstelries are
needed in San Diego, San Bernardino,
Redlands and other cities in southern
California.

Report of Removal of Santa Fe Chic
Dispatcher's Once Is Untrue.


The following report from Emporia
caused inquiries to be made yesterday
at the Office of the general superintend-
ent of the Santa Fe:
THE Santa Fe has made a new ruling
in regard to train crews on through
runs Instead Of running the crews
through from Kansas City to Newton
they are changed here. This is only Il
trial move, but if made permanent viii
have the effect OF bringing number of
families back to Emporia. The men
were complaining of the long runs, and
the trial is made because of this COM
plant All through passenger. as well
as freight. crews are changed here.
This is a logical move, because of the
fact that the chief disDatcher's office is
soon to come here from Topeka, and
viii probably be continued"
1t was at first thought that this might
be the beginning Of the removal of the
division offices to Emporia. as reported
a short time ago but according to the
statement given out at the Santa Fe
offices yesterday there is nothing in the
report at all. It is positively denied
that the chief dispateher's Office is 10

Retiring arrived at the Colorado river
town, he. found that the japanese had
been sent off down the road and dis
tributed at different points as section
men and the Indians had been given
their old places in the round house. Two
OF the japanese disappeared and their
wlereabout is unknown to their fellow
countrymen.
Retiring found that the business men,
and nearly everyone else in Needles.
were in sympathy with the Indians.
For they are pretty fair citizens. work
hard and spend their money in Needles.
The public in general at Needles did
not fancy the idea of the japanese tax
ing the places of the red men. and
therefore their sympathy was with the
men who had spent all their life in and
about Needles, even though they were

NEW PLACE FOR RICE
Probable Changes in Santa Fe Store
house Department.


A new office has just been created in
the Santa F'e storehouse department. on
the Coast lines. says the San Bernar-
dino sun, and there is good reason to
believe that n. NJ. Rice. assistant gen
eral storekeeper, with headquarters in
Albuquerque. has been rendered the
position 1t is known that a new store
keeper has been appointed for the Al
buQuerque department, in the person of
o. W. YOungQuist and it is the fact
that Mr.. Rice has been superseded.
which leads to the supposition that he
has been given a higher trust. Mr..
YOungQuist has just come out from the
Lake Shore road to accept the store
keepership. and is now taking a run
over the Coast lines in company with
Mr.. Rice
Both gentlemen were in this city
yesterday, but when interviewed by a
sun man. positively refused to talk re-
garding the story. There is no use
in Questioning" retorted Mr. Rice in
his gOod-humored way, as the reporter
started to ply his craft we haven t
a word to say one way or the other. We
are just out on little jaunt, and that's
all I can tell you.
The position to which report has it
Mr. Rice has been appointed, is one
of three on the Santa Fe system, one
for each of the grand divisions Each
will be over the several division store
keepers and the trio will in turn, be
under one chief whose headquarters
viii be, as is now the case, in Topeka.
