DIR. PIERcE's REMEDIES.

What has come to pass in thousands of
years seems hardly. credible. Primitive
man, a weakling In comparison TO modern
man, was able to. conquer the. huge mon
eters Of thousands Of years ago. such as
the Mammoth, and to-day they are dead
forever; yet the mosquito and fy have
never been conquered It is now time
for the scientist 10 devise methods for kill
ing the mosquito and fly, so that they will
60 10 join TIE mammoth and the monster
lizards. The mosquitoes and flies are dan
gerous enemies of man because they spread
contag1on- The mosquito often carries the
germ Of malaria with his bite. The house
fly spreads germs of disease over our food
These bacterial germs, ever hunting for
The weak spot, find place in our blood
and then we suffer from grip, catarrh. con-
sumption, or malaria.
Dr.. R. Y Pierce, chief consulting pbvsi-
clan to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, n. Y, saws: There
would be no grip epidemics, the germs of
consumption, or malaria would find no
place il the human economy, If the blood
were pure, If the lungs, heart and other
organs were fed on good blood. Poisons
should not be allowed to accumulate in the
body; 70 be safe il is best to take gentle
laxative AZ least once a week. Such a
vegetable laxative as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets contains nothing which could harm
the system.
For putting the blood in order, and as
tssue-builder and tonic for those weakened
BY coughs, colds, catarrh, grip, nothing will
build one up quicker than d.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This is med
lcine made entirely of roots and herbs,
without the use of alcohol.

STEALS MONEY TO PAY
THE WEDDING EXPENSES
Indiana Young Man May Go to the
Penitentiary Instead of to the
Altar

LAPORTE, Ind, Aug. 1.-Charles F.
roster, SON of Edward Foster of this
county, is in jail in Allen County
charged with larceny. The crime has
its. chapter of romance.
FOSTER was engaged to the daughter
OF a wealthy farmer. She had prepared
her rousseau, the minister was en-
gagged and the guests gathered for the
ceremony, but the bridegroom failed
to appear.
1t developed that Foster was without
money. Then came the chapter of
crime. Foster planned and committed
several robberies, as he now confesses,
for the purpose of obtaining money
that the wedding festivities might pro-
ceed. The State declares that the evil
dence Is sufficient to send Foster to the
penitentiary.

+. CALIFORNIA TO THE FORE.

The better class of people who wish
TO locate,in a new State must know not
only that the soil is productive, but
that its schools are. good. California
has taken such high rank now as a
State that her general school system
needs little exploitation, but there is a
class of highly intelligent people which
want TO be assured that the opportuni-
ties for higher education are the best.
Many of this class of people call at the
educational exhibit and go away. salts

vantages for mental advancement and
culture. that could be desired.
Robert Furlong is back at his post
as chief of the educational exhibit,
after a short trip to Michigan.

flavor of a supposed California water
melon he helped eat at the melon social

STEAMER j. ID. PETERS
SINKS LUMBER SCHOONER
Sails Obscure Lights of Small Boat
and u Collision is the
Result.

STOCKTON, Aug. 1.-The steamer
J. D. Peters of the California Naviga-
ton Company ran into and sank the
lumber schooner San Rafael Saturday
night in the San Joaquin River, near
Head Reach. The steamer was on her
way to San Francisco and the schooner
was sailing up the river to this city.
1t is supposed that the accident was
due to the fact that the sails of the
schooner hid the lights during one of
her taeks. The schooner had no cargo
and was readily raised. The steamer
was not injured.

Man Found Unconscious Along
Central Railroad Was [mpIOye
at the CheeseborOugh Plant.
CAME FROM BROOKLYN.
Never RegaInea Consciousness and the
Body was identified by Mans Brother
He Leaves a Family How He Came
by the Wounds in His Head is Still a
Mystery.

The man, who was found lying uncou
scious at the side of the Central railroad
tracks at New Brunswick avenue, abou
10 O'Clock Friday night died at the hos
pital shortly before o'clock this morn
ing. He was yesterday identified by his
brother as John Craven. Ee was en-
ployed a. the Cheeseborough Vsselne
Works and boarded at the home OF Peter
Campbell, CD Division street He has a
wife and several children in Brooklvp,
from which place he came sto this city
when the Cheeseborough plant was re
moved from there to this city.
His brother thought that perhaps he
was in custody at the police headquarters,
as he had been missing since Friday
night, and yesterday went there to inves-
tigate. He went to tho hospital and
identified Craven, who remained uncon.
scious to the last.
AS told in Saturd ay's News, the man
was found lying near near the crossing
with two scalp wounds. Dr. J. l.. Lund
was summoned and the man was removed
TO the city hospital. 1t was not thought
that he had been struck by train, but
that lie had either fallen from moving
car or had met with foul play. The
police have been working on the case.

WAS FIRE IN
THE GARRET.
Close Call for the Home Of Peter
Campbell at So Division
street.

While the family of Peter Camp
bell, of 63 Division street, was eat
ing dinner at one o'clock yesterday
afternoon, one of the members de-
tected the odor of smoke, and, upon
investigating, it was found that the
woodwork around the chimney in
the garret was on fire. A half
hour hard work conquered the
blaze. How it started is mystery.
1t is said there was not enough fire
in the stove downstairs to send up
enough heat to set fire to the
framework.
When News reporter called at
the house this morning he was told
that beside the damage to the
framework a fair sized hole had
been burned in the roof.

Man Found with Wound in His Heart--Help Sum-
moned and He Was Carried to His Boarding
House Where He Passed Away When
Doctor Arrived--SeveraI Arrests.


With cash in his heart nearly four
inches deep, Sigmund Nagyi, well
known resident of Keasbey, was founti
lying behind the porch in the rear of
Joseph Galaida's g Hall, at that place,
shortly after 8 'clock yesterday morn
ing, by "Big Sam" Demjen. The
inmates of the house were aroused
and light procured, by means of
which the victim was recognized. He
was removed to the home of Stephen
Gerga, with whom he boarded, and
DR.. Henry Levy was summoned. He
died few minutes after the physic-
ian's arrival, about half hour after
being found. He W asked the name
of his assailant, but could only mutt
ter a few unintelligible syllables
The dying man recognized his brother
Frank and called him by name.
Demjen, upon being arrested later
as witness, told conflicting stories
According to his original statement,
was alone, when, hearing groans
coming from the back of the house,
investigated and found the dying man.
Later he claimed to have been with
another man at the time.
Paul Matos, another man held as n
witness, claims to know nothing Of
the affair, but is believed to be con-
cealing something. He is said to have
been an important witness in a murder
case at .Keusbey some time ago.
Frank Carmendy is also held MS
witness.
"Big Sam further said that Nagyi
pointed towards the sky when asked
his assailant's name, just after being
found.
DR.. Levy reported the case at police
headquarters and Coroner e. e. Haines
and County Physician Carroll were
notified. They came to this city and
DIR. Carroll performed an autopsy.
