DIR. P1ERcE,s REMEDIES.

Sickness steals more savings than the
burglar. Slowly, coin by coin, the
money that has been so hardly earned
is paid out for drugs and doctors. Sick
ness is the worst enemy of the working
man, and the common cause of the work

stomach often involving the heart, lungs,

CHIEF IS KILLED
J. E. Harris Is Shot at
Selma by Man He Had
Threatened.
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

SELMA, Sept. Al. E. Harris, ex-Chtef
of Police Of San Diego. who came here
a short time ago and purchased a fruit
ranch, was shot and killed to-day by
w. H. Shafer, a surveyor, with whom he
had difficulty over some wood claimed by
both. Shafer and Harris had an alterca-
ton this morning over the question OF
the ownership Of the wood and after the
fight both men armed themselves. Shafer
was standing at the postOffice this after
noon, when Harris who had but a few
moments before purchased a shotgun and
a box Of cartridges, made his appearance.
Harris approached Shafer with his shot
gun held in a threatening manner. He
had been drinking and It was evident
that he was not quite sure of ShaferB
identity. Just a moment before he in
quired of a bystander If he had seen
Shafer and was told that Shafer was
a [ the postohice- Shafer was dressed in
when Harris had before seen him and
that probably accounts for his hesita-
tion in shooting. as he did not know his
intended victim well.
Shafer was talking to Major Sides the
banker. when Harris approached him
and fight to the death commenced. Har-
ris recognized that he had found the
man he had been looking for and as he
raised his shotgun Shafer grabbed the
barrel with his left hand and pulled a
revolver from his pocket Meanwhile
there was fierce struggle for possession
OF the shotgun. Shafer called twics FOR
Harris to drop the gun. saying that he
would shoot Then followed the fatal
shot The bullet found Iodgment in Har-
ris' brain. Shafer surrendered himself.

lieutenants of the Servian army, at the
head of a band of 400 insurgents, with a
flag flying, crossed the frontier on Mon
day evening and passed through the
Turkish posts unopposed. General zont-

also crossed the frontier.
Captain Stoyanoff's band captured fifty
Turkish soldiers at Rakovitza, about f1f-
teen miles southeast of Sofia, August 81,
took their arms and ammunition and
proceeded to Melnishko.
A dispatch from Rila, forty miles from
Sofia, says the date Of the general insur-
rection has been postponed. According to
reliable information from Constahtinople,
Turkey will shortly have 100000 soldiers
in Macedonia. The prospect of the ap-
pearance of such immense army
causes the most intense anxiety here. 1t
is regarded as certain to arouse the ap-
prehensions of the powers.
The Porte had great difficulty in induc-
ing the Asiatic troops to proceed to Eu-
ropean Turkey. The change of climate
has already caused many deaths.

LAUNCHING OF AIRSHIP
PREVENTED BY ACCIDENT
Port Propeller Wrecks Itself Among
the Rods and Bars of the
Machine.

Underwater, Va, Sept. 4-The pros
pective launching to-day of Professor
Langleys big aerodrome was abandoned
at O'Clock, after the port propeller, re-
yolving about 600 times a minute, had
wrecked itself among the rods and bars
of the machine. Both blades of the pro-
peller were torn to small pieces, and one
of the main supporting rods of the air
ship was bent to a right angle. Other
slight damage was done. The accident
was the result of a change occurring in
some unexplained manner in the orbit of
the blades But for the prompt action of
Professor Manley, who was in the nayi-
gators car, in shutting off his engine the
aerodrome might have been hurled from
the superstructure and entirely wrecked.
AT the time the accident occurred the
newly repaired engine was being tested.
1t worked much better than it did YES
terday, and the accident was very dis
tressing to the experts. who greatly de-
sired test either this afternoon or To-
morrow morning. After inspecting the
damage Professor Langley decided to re-
turn to Washington. The machine NAV
be repaired by Monday.

BULGARIA IN PERIL.
Situation Becomes Very Critical Be-
cause of Many Complications.

LONDON, Sept. 5.-The situation is crit
ical for the Bulgarian Government, tele-
graphs the Sofia correspondent of the
Times, not only on account of Macedonia,
but also because of the internal political
complications.
The Vienna correspondent Of the Times
reports that in various competent quar-
ters the danger of Turko-Bulgarian con-
flict is reported TO be graver at the pres
ent moment than at any previous juno
ture. 1t is believed in Vienna, he adds,
that If war breaks out it will be less on
account of Bulgarian sympathy with the
Macedonians than because the Bulgarians
fear the untoward consequences to their
own country of the return en- masse of
the desperate disappointed insurgent lead
ers who would swamp Bulgarian public
life
The increasingly threatening aspect Of
affairs in the Balkans seriously anects all
the European capitals. What is to be
done in Macedonia is anxiously discussed
on all Sides The censorship is active at
present. for the only news thus far of the
landing of marines emanated from Wash
ington The subject is not mentioned in
any Constantinople dispatches received
here.
According to these dispatches, although
1t is considered certain that the destruc-
ton of the Hungarian steamer Naskapu,
in the Black Sea, was the work of the in
s,lreents. the intention to kill Hungarian
subjects may provoke Austrian lnterven-
tion.
The Austrian Embassy at Constantine
pIe. in the absence of convincing proofs,
has not yet taken action. The police in
the meantime are arresting Bulgarians in
all parts of Constantinople and wild ru-
mors are afloat of other projected out
RACES The Boerse is panic-stricken be-
cause Of the fears of war. Most active
military preparations by the Turkish
Government are proceeding and Turkish
officers are talking of their ability to
reach Sofia within three weeks from the
outbreak of war.
Dispatches from Sofia from Vienna as
sert that the war party in Bulgaria is
gaining ground. The semi-official DneV-
mix is preaching a war and has revealed
the existence of an alleged Russo -Bulga-
rian treaty of alliance signed by Dr. Da-
nieff and General Paprikoff, lately Bull
garian Premier and Minister of War. re-
spectively.
On the other hand, showing the diff
Guilty of arriving at an accurate estimate
of the real condition Of affairs, the Sofia
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph de-
clares that Bulgaria's aversion to war is
on both military and political
grounds. He asserts that the Bulgarian
Government is resolved to sedulously
avoid everything calculated to lead to |
hostilities, first on account of the Austro- |
Russian opposition, and, second, because
the army is totally unprepared for war. |
Prince Ferdinand is devoting his efforts to
staving off a decision, hoping that the |
powers, for their own safety, Will arrange |
for a European control of Macedonia and |
the restoration of peace.

"One result of this step will probably
be to induce the Sultan to raise his rep

in this respect, compared with the other
