Largest Bust on Record.

The bust of Sir Joseph Paxton. the architect of the famous Crystal palace in London, Is now being moved from It's i'd position on the Terrace to the Pa rade.

You Must

If you cannot, 1t is due to an irritated or congestcd state ot the brain, which vii, soon de- velope into nervous prostratlon.
 Nature demands sleep, and it is as important as food; it is a part of her building and sustaining process. This period of inconsistencies relaxes the mental and physical strain, and allows nature to restore ex- hausted vitality.
 Dr. Miles Nervine brings refreshing sleep, because 1t soothes the irritation and re- moves the congestion.
 It is also a nerve builder; 1t nourishes and strengthens ev- cry nerve in your body, and creates energy in all the organs.
 Nothing will give strength and vitality as surely and quickly as Dr. Miles NerVlne.
 During the past winter I had two attacks of LaGrippe which left me very weak. and in bad condition. I was so nervous I could not sleep. My wife, after trying different, remedies. went for a doctor.

RESCUED FROM RIVER.
John Miller Found CIinging to Pier OF
Street Railway Bridge.

John Miller, a laborer who has been
working near ElmOnt on a cutoff con-
struction gang, took an involuntary
bath in the frigid Kaw last night about
10 o'clock. Charles Snyder, a street
car mOtorman. and Conductor Leigh
ton saw the man clinging to one of the
piers of the street railway bridge near
the south end, and securing rope and
assistance. jerked Miller out of the
river. They put him on the rear end
of the street car and started south
with him, meeting the patrol wagon
and making a transfer at Second
street.
At the police station Miller was
thawed out and given dry clothing,
but he was too badly saturated, both
with Kaw water and f1rewater, to make
any statement. When he was released
this morning he was able to talk, but
his memory was very faulty. He didn't
know how or where he tumbled into
the river. nor how long he had been
soaking when helped out by the
rescuerS.

TO TAKE UP RATE BILL.
The Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce Meets.

Washington, Nov. 21.-The senate
committee on interstate commerce met
today to begin the consideration Of leg
islation relating to regulation of railway
rates All of the members of the COM
mittee were not present as some have
been detained by i'll health or business
engagements. The meeting of the COM
mittee two weeks in advance of the as
sembling of congress is to consider the
testimony taken last spring and also the
additional data which have been gathered
by experts since the commission ceased
it's hearings.
It is wei known that the committee
is divided on the main question in
volved, that of comforting upon the in
terstate commerce commission power to
order a change of railroad rates, but no
attempt has been made to poll the COM
mittee to determine what kind of a bill
will be reported. It seems quite likely
that several different measures will be
presented as it is known that drafts of
bills have been prepared.

WILEYS.

l.. Il. Cook, of Wiley's station, is
making great improvements to his
mountain resort this season. He has
put in windmill with water tank of
large capacity, and IN many other
ways has catered to the convenience
of travellers. E. J. Leake, the all
round artist, has done much of the
work, and he is still fixing up.
Miss McWayne of Drytown and Mrs
BIalsdell of Stockton are spending
a vacation at the resttul retreat of
Wileys.
There are great many camping par
ties going up into the mountains this
year, more so far than for several
years past. The tourist business, judg-
ing from the opening of the season,
promises to eclipse the record for
many years past.
K. S. Triggs, the we'll known shingle
maker, has four men busily engaged
in making sugar pine shingles near
Wileys. These shingles command a
ready sale, being preferable in many
respects to redwood, This is one OF
the industries the incoming of rail
road would stimulate into large pro-

CLARENCE MURPHY IN COURT.

Clarence Murphy, accused of the
murder of Chester Maker and Phoebe
A. Williams at Lancha Plana on the
18th of last month, was taken to lone
last Monday to appear before the just
ice court of that town. The prisoner
was driven all the way down to the
valley town in a double seated
vehicle. q. M. Kelly drove the team,
while sheriff Norman sat with the
prisoner in the rear seat. The pris-
oner was handcutfed. There was not
the least demonstration either going
OF returning. At lone, however, the
little town was all astlr. The i'm
preston had somehow got aboard
that the preliminary examination
would be had at that time, and that
the facts contained in the confession
of Harry Love would be brought out
IN the testimony presented by the
people. Consequently big crowd had
gathered, from all parts of the val
ley and number from the nighbor-
ing county of Calaveras. District
Attorney Vicini did not 60 down.
The defendants counsel, W. K.
Jacobs, was late. He drove from
Stockton by way of Clements and
Lancha Plana. The brothers of the
defendant we're also there.
The crowd that had gathered in
anticipation of sensational develop
ments we're doomed to disappoint-
ment, as nothing was done other than
informing the accused of the charge
against him, and informing him of his
rights in the premises. There was no
fixing of time for the examination,
as it was by this time understood
that the matter would be Investigated
by the grand jury. The defendant
was charged with the murder of Mrs.
Phoebe A. Williams. The judge
asked him if he had an attorney, and
he replied that he had, but he was
not present. Whereupon the court
said that 1t made no difference as far
as the present proceedings we're con-
cerned, as he could render no service
of any consequence at that time.
W. K. Jacobs, his attorney arrived
after the matter was concluded.
