SAN FRANCISCO CLERGYMAN,
AMBITIOUS TO KNOW RAILROAD
ERS, BEGINS WORK AS A WIPER

San Francisco, July l3.-That he
may familiarize himself with the
trials, tribulations and temptations OF
the army OF railroad men at Oakland,
the Rev. Dwight Il. Potter. pastor OF
the Union Street Presbyterian church,
began work last night as an ordinary
engine wiper In the West Oakland
railroad yards. Attired In blue over.
alls and with a bunch Of waste in his
hands, Mr.. Potter crawled under a
hot, dirty locomotive and began his
task.
The pastors church Is not far from
the yards OF the Southern Pacific com.
pany, and many large manufacturing
establishments. His sympathies have
always been with the men who work,
and his ambition has been to benefit
them In any way In his power. He
wants to work and live with the rail-
road men. whom he wishes to reach
In a spiritual way, and to come into
intimate contact with them In pur-
suit Of his sociological studies.
Applications were made by Mr.. Pot.
ter to a division superintendent, Mr..
Scott, for a place In the railroad yards
After correspondence with General
Superintendent Palmer, the order for
his employment was finally issued,
1t is Mr.. Potter's desire to work In
every department for a time. and he
chose the humble position of engine
wiper to begin with. He asked that
he be given exactly the treatment that
would be accorded the newest and
greenest hand on the road. He was
given what he asked for.
Mr.. Potter did not return to his own
home after working until this morn
ing. He had hired a small Dol IN a
West Oakland lodging house that Is
the home of many of the laboring men
in the West Oakland yards. He de-
sires that his experience should be
thorough.

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body In Health and
Disease.

The mention of sulphur will recall
to many Of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us our
daily dose of sulphur and molasses
every spring and fall
II was the universal spring and fail
blood purifier" tonic and cure-all, aud
mind you. this uld-fashioncd remedy
was not without merit
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable and a
large quantity had to be taken to get
any effect
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects Of sulphur in a palatable, con-
centrated form, so that a single grain
Is far more effective than a table
spoonful of the crude sulphur
In recent years. research and eXper-
iment have proven that the best sui
phur for medicinal use is that obtained
from Calcium calcium Sulphide) and
sold i'm drug stores under the name OF
Stuart's Calcium Waters They arc
small chocolate coated pellets and con-
tain the active medicinal principle of
sulphur in a highly concentrated, eff
feCtive form.
Few people are aware of the value
of this form of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily Vigor and health;
sulphur acts directly on the liver and
cXcretury organs and puriiies and en-
riches the blood by the prompt elimi-
nation of waste material.
our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall. but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary
flowers of sulphur were often worse
than the disease, and cannot compare
with the modern concentrated prepara-
tons of sulphur, of which Stuart $
Calcium Waters is undoubtedly the
best and most widely used
They are the natural antidote for liv-
er and kidney troubles and cure con-
stipaton and purify the blood i'm a way
that often surprises patient and ply
sician alike.
DR.. r. Nj. wilkins while experiment.
ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was su
perior to any other form. He says:
For liver, kidney and blood trou-
bles. especially when resulting from
constipation or malaria ! have been
surprised at the results obtained from
Stuarts Calcium Waters. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even daep-seated carbuncles, | have
repeatedly seen them dry up and disap-
pear in four or five days, leaving the
skin clear and smooth. Although
Stuarts Calcium Waters is a proprie-
tary article, and sold by druggists,
and for that reason tabooed by many
physicians, yet L know of nothing so
safe and reliable for constipation, liver
and kidney troubles and especially in
all forms of skin disease as this rem
edy."
At any rate people who are tired of
pills, cathartics and so-called blood
purifiers" will find in Stuart's Cal
cium Waters a far safer, more pala-
table and effective preparation

ACCEPTED BRIBES

It is alleged. D. w. Tarpley went to
Davis and got him to raise 5000 each
from fourteen men in order TO secure a
favorable report from Government
Agent Ormsby, whom IT is alleged, had
been also told to make a report. Davis,
It Is charged, raised 81 ,46O Of the al
legged amount which was said to be di-
vided between Tarpley and Davis.
Clerk Suspects Fraud
George r. ogden, the clerk handling
the business, 1t will be alleged, pre-
pared a report and sent it to Hermann
especially calling attention to the al
legged Loomis and Davis letters, asking
that the lands be considered but admit
ting, so it is stated, that the laws had
not been observed
This report was dated March :. but
or March Mr.. Hermann had ordered
the claims expedited. When he saw
the report made by Ogden, however,
it is said, he hesitated and when Puter
came to see him, it is alleged he told
Puter that he thought the matter
locked pretty bad and that he wat
afraid the claims would have to go
lack to the oregon offices for further
investigation.
Mr.. Puter by this time had eXpend-
&c, it is alleged, about $4,000 on the deal
and when he was told this, it is be-
lieved he went back to Mitchell and
told the senator that If the claims went
back to Oregon they would be lost TO
into them.
At this time the government will at
tempt to prove Mr.. Puter laid down
two $1,000 bills on the table in front OF
the senator, and it will also try to prove
that he told Mitchell to take them and
see what he could do to help the lands
through to patent.
Says Mitchell Took $4,000
The senator, it is alleged, did not
wish to take all of the money and 1t
Is said pushed one of the bills back,
but, the government asserts, Puter in
sisted that $4,000 was not too much to
ray for the alleged service and that
the money was taken by the senator
The next day, it is also alleged, Puter
went to Hermann and, it is said, asked
him how things looked, and it is stated
Mr. Hermann told him that he thought
upon a reconsideration it would be pos
sible to put the lands through. He
asked Puter, it is asserted, to come
back in the afternoon, and it is said he
had turned the matter over to w. A.
Richards, his assistant. Puter, it is al
legged, went to Mitchell and got him to
take him to Richards and introduce
him. The senator, it is contended, rec
ommended him as one of the best men
of Oregon, perfectly reliable and up
right.
The indictment against Sorenson was
made upon the testimony of United
States District Attorney John Hall,
who told Attorney Heney that Sorenson
offered him $4,000 to let Wolgamot and
the other defendants off in the late land
fraud case.
The grand jury, after returning the
verdicts, was excused until January 10.
Bonds of the indicted persons were
fixed at $4,000 and they will be given a
reasonable time in which to return
them to the court.

Tens Why They Eslerss vlsel g
highly.

First: Vinol cOntains in Q cOncen.
trated form oil of the medicinal cura-
tive elements of cod liver oil, actually
without q drop of oil to nsuseste and
upset the stomach, and retard its work,
therefore where Old-faShiOned cod
liver oil or emulsiOns will do good
Vinol will do far more good.
Second: Because Vinol is not a
patent or secret medicine: it contains
no injurious drugs to react upon the
system. and you know just what you
are taking, as everything it contains
10 printed on the back label of every
bottle.
Third: Because Vinol acts first
upon the stomach, creates . healthy
appetite, tones up the digestive
organs, rurities and enriches the
blood, and in q natural manner health
10 restored, and strength created.
Fourth: Since we first put VinOl on
the market our admiration for it has
steadily increased, because it rarely
disappOints a customer, in fact We can
truthful! SAY We never sold q
medicine more satisfactory to create
strength for cid people, weak, sickly
women and children, nursing mothers
and to build up strength after q severe
sickness.
Again Vinol is endorsed by eminent
physicians and guaranteed by over
two thousand of the leading druggists
of this country. These are some of
the reasons why We believe in VinOl.
