WATCH THE HUGE BREAKERS
Long Beach Had Thousands Who
Whiled Hours Away

Special to The Herald
LONG BEACH, July 1.-The usual
large crowd thronged the beach and
pier all day today.
The weather was perfect.
The surf was most popular until about
the middle of the afternoon. At that
time the tide began to get unusually
high and the crowds enjoyed the spec
tacle afforded by huge breakers that
dashed spray all along the lower deck
of the pleasure pier. The high tides
will continue for several days.
The merry voices of the children at
play in the public playground on the
beach were heard continually. There
are swings and teeter- boards galore
and they are never idle on Sunday af-
ternoons. Then the merry -go-round.
the skating rink and the plunge offer
diversion for those who weary of other
things.
The fun of lying in the sand appeals
to the older folk and many, resting
from the week days labors stretch out
so as to be most comfortable and sleep
for hours What matter, they say, how
careless the position or what difference
how much of the clean sand gets into
ones shoes or clothing?
The pike presented very pretty
picture from the pier, for on such a
day. there are many pretty to be
seen, and when the strolle out
where the sun shines full uLon them
scores of vari-colored parasols are
swung into view. Yet it is fact that
the gaze of the folk on the pier or on
the wide balcony around the tea gar
dens above the bath house doesn't lin
ger so long upon the girls along the
pike as it does farther out, where there
are scores of attractive looking maids
and misses in dainty bathing suits; or
even farther, where the great breakers
roar and throw their foam and spray.
The universal opinion of all is that
there is no place like the beach.

TRUANT YOUTH IS PURSUED
Though Almost Worn Out He Mus
ters Energy When Blue
coat Appears

A boy about 18 years of age attracted
considerable attention on Broadway,
near First street, last night shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock. by his curious actions.
The lad apparently was worn out, for
he stumbled as he walked.
A police officer was called to take
charge Of the boy. but when he saw the
officer coming the little chap summoned
sufficient energy to run, disappearing
down dark street.
When questioned by different people
the lad refused to say anything.
It is the belief of the police that the
lad had escaped from some home and
has become almost exhausted in elud-
ing those who would take him back to
the place from which he ran away.

To Spend $4,000, 900.

In order that the facilities of the
Norfolk and Western Railway may be
increased to meet traffic demands the
directors of the road contemplate
spending $a4.OOO,OOO on improve
ments. At special meeting OF the
stockholders of the road, to be held
at Roanoke October IL, they will be
asked to authorize a new issue of
common stock of the company to that
amount.
The present common issue of tie
road is $66,OOO,OOO. Most of the
new money will be spent in Virginia,
especially in the coalfelds, and in
shortening the line wherever possible
to reduce the time between Norfolk
and the West. 1t is also thought that
the road has an eye to strengthening
itself against the coming competition
of the Tidewater Railroad.
Col. Walter b. Taylor, of Norfolk,
a director of the Norfolk and Western,
said &:
1.-THE business of the Norfolk and
Western Railroad justifes the extern
sion and improvements that are under
way and are contemplated, and the
increase in the capital stock Of the
company will pave the way for the
scheme of development that has been
determined upon. Rather than Dor.
row the money with which to make
the extensions and improvements, and
in that way add to it's interest charges,
the company decided to increase its
common stock, which is selling well
and will be readily marketed"

one dreadful disease that science has
been able to cure il all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to

ing constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

rectly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroy
ing the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting ma

An Abundance of Gold.

Reports from South Africa are to the
effect that this year the gold output
will be more than 800, 100000, and as
there is no diminution Of the gold pro-
duction Of other countries, it folio VS.
that 1906 will far surpass all previous
figures. The record of cures made by
the celebrated Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters far surpasses that of all ether
stomach medicines. The reason for
its success is very plain when you re.
member the fact that it has often af-
fected cures after other remedies had
failed. If you have never tried the
Bitters get bottle today and see for
yourself what a wonderful medicine it
is in cases of poor appetite, headache,
vomiting, cramps, diaryhoea, dyspep.

along supply of the Bitters to count
eract the effect of strange eating and

Two.CENT railroad fares are surely
coming. 1t is said that already
enough legislative candidates pledged
to two-cent law have been nominal
ed in Pennsylvania to insure the pas.
sage of such bill by the next Legis-
lature, and the public sentiment in
that State for reduced rates is so
strong it cannot longer be resisted.
Maryland passed bill for the lower
rate, and it was only by the arbitra.
ry and inconsiderate veto of Cover.
nor Warfeld that the people are de.
prived Of the benefit of the law.
Virginia will again pass law, and
next time it will be one that will hold
water. Ohio's two-cent rate is work
ing all right, and not only are the
people delighted with it, but the
railroads. it is said, are making more
money than ever before, because of
the greatly increased traffic, and the
officials of the leading roads admit
that it is good thing for them.
Let public sentiment be aroused
In West Virginia that will give to
our people the benefit of two-cent
fares.

State Tax Commissioner Dillon has
stirred up hornets nest in the New
River coal field. He went up to
Fayette county, and, calling the two
county assessors before him, demanded
that they raise the assessments of the
coal leaseholds to an amount aggrega-
ting 100000. The highest amount
named by him was for the New River
Smokeless Company, whose lease he
placed at 100000 valuation. The
Rand Company and the White Oak
Fuel Company came next, with val
uation of 100000 excess, and then
followed others at 100000, and on
down to valuations much smaller.
The assessors say they have fixed the
valuations at what they consider fair
amounts, and will not change them at
the order of the tax commissioner.
Mr.. Dillon says if the assessors refuse
to place proper valuations on the
properties he will appeal to the county
court to have the assessors removed
from office.

EVERY honest man in the State
ought to uphold Tax Commissioner
Dillon in the fight he is making to
have those rich coal properties in
Fayette county fairly assessed. They
are immensely valuable and they
ought to pay their lair share Of tax
alton. The fact that the coal men
have lodged taxes for so many years
makes it all the more necessary to
bring them to book now. The cues.
ton of taxation in West Virginia
ought to be put above partisan poll
tics. The people regardless of party
ought to support the proposition to
assess and tax the railroads and coal
fields of West Virginia on the sam e
basis that the property of the poor
man is assessed and taxed.
