Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous dis ease for anyone to attempt to doctor himself, although he may have the proper remedies at hand. A physician should always be called. It should be borne in mind, however, that pneu- monia always results from cold or from an attack of the grip, and that by giving Cham mberlain's Cough Rem edy the threatened attack of pneumon ia may be warded off. This remedy is also used by physicians in the treat ment of pneumonia with the best re suits Dr. w. J. Smith. of Sanders. Ala, who is also druggist, says of it: "l have been selling Cham berlain's Cough Remedy and prescribing it in my practice for the past six years. I use it in csses of pneumonia and have always gotten the best results" Sold by H. H. Watkins, druggist.

He is Still Going

One Sunday a young man called on his best girl. After they had talked until they could think of nothing more to say, he declared his intention of kissing her. She was very indignant and said she would tell her father if he did. Remem bering the old saying that "Faint heart never won fair lady," the young man dared and planted d fairly respectable kiss somewhere be hind the ear. The young woman arose hastily and walked into the other room.
 "Pa," she said, "Mr Parsons wants to see your new gun"
 All right!" said the old man, de lighted with the chance to show off hi- new gun. Taking it from the rack he stepped into the drawing room The young nan broke four windows in get ting out and when last seen he was still running bareheaded down the road.-Exchange.
 A short time ago while Joe Lee was butchering steer belonging to J. B. Tanners herd he discovered in it.. paunch, a black, hard substance about the size of good big Ben Davis ap. pie, says the Pennington Times Illus tier. of New Mexico. Curiosity prompt ed them to investigate and the object when washed, proved to be stone and what is known as a mad stone. Tests have been made with it, and it seems to have the drawing power of many mustard plasters combined. Mr. Tan ner was offered 5OJS for it shortly after it was found, bat refu ,ed the offer. He has since bean off sred ,5OOS for it but refused to part with his stone at even that price. Mr. Tanner has now gone to Arizhna aud sends back word to have the stone carefully preserved, and iS more convinced than ever tha, the discovery is a very valuable one. We have never given much credence o the maidstone curativeS, but those who have examined it assures us that it has very remarkable properties, and if ap- piled to the skin will act much more readily than a mustard plaster. Mr. Tanner has had the stone examined by experts and it has been pronounced a genuine article

DEATH
By A MIRACLE
Wilson Coutant, a Gripman,
Badly Injured by Being
Dragged in Front of Car

Wilson Contant, a gripman on a Sac
ramento-s street cable car, was serious
ly injured last night in an accident that
came near costing him his life. That
he escaped being ground to death under
the wheels of his car is considered a
miracle by passengers that witnessed
the accident. Contant was in charge
of the grip on car $40 and was making
an in trip toward the ferry. The misty
rain of the evening had gathered on the
front window of the dummy to such an
extent that it was almost impossible
for him to see ahead.
While the car was on the down grade
between Cough and Franklin streets
Contant lowered the window and, lean
ing out, started to clean it. Before he
had fairly commenced the work the
small double doors Of the dummy
sprang open. Contants feet were
braced against them and as the doors
burst open the unfortunate gripman
slipped through them and fell in the
street in front of his car. In falling
Contant grabbed hold of a stanchion
and held on The fender of the car
kept the man from being run over but
the dragging over the rough street had
it's effect.
Among the passengers on the dummy
shouts, informed the conductor, T. J..
Leyhe, of what had occurred. Leyhe
rushed to the front and releasing the
grip stopped the car.
Contant was picked up and cared for
until the patrol from the North End
station arrived and conveyed the in
jured man to the Central Emergency
Hospital.
An examination by Drs. Millar and
Pawlicki showed that Contant had re-
ceived a severe fracture of the hips
and that both ankles and his collar
bone were broken.
The doctors express the opinion that
Contants injuries are not fatal.

SPIRITUALISTS
IN CONVENTION
Good Attendance Greets Fiji
ty-Sixth Anniversary Gel
ebrated by State Societies

way Hall was comfortably filed yes
terday afternoon and evening at the
two sessions of the fifty-sixth ami
versary of modern spiritualism, which

was conducted by Mrs. Sarah Seal.
The proceedings of the convention
consisted of instrumental and vocal
music, addresses and the receipt of
MESA ges said to be from spirits by
various mediums. which were delivered
to many in the audience. Particularly
striking in this line was the work of
Mrs. Dora Akers, who gladdened many
hearts by words of comfort she said
came from loved ones long dead.
The convention was presided over in
a highly satisfactory manner by j.
Shaw Gillespie, who delivered an ad-
dress of welcome to the resident and
visiting delegates. Mrs. Anna L. Gill
lespie, who was to have delivered an
address during the evening session, was
confined to her home with illness and
was unable to appear. The main fea-
ture of the convention was the address
in the evening of J. Stitt Wilson, the
well-known socialist, who delivered a
lecture on socialism, its achievements
and it's aims. The lecture received
the closest attention from the
audience and the speaker was fire.
