ARREST sCHMITZ
ON STATE BORDER
WARRANT is SERVED UPON SAN
FRANCISCO MAYOR ON TRAIN
AT TRUCKER
Big Parade Is spolIed-Abe Ruef
Brings Indicted Executive into Town
So Late the Reception is Failure
Hold Conference.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 29.-Mayor
Schmttz was arrested yesterday after
noon on the train which was bearing
him to San Francisco as soon as the
train reached Truckee, just over the
line from Nevada. The train was so
late that the great reception plannei
for the mayor had to be abandoned
Abe Ruef accompanied Deputy Sher-
iff Harry Knox to Truckee in order to
be present when the warrant for the
mayors arrest was served. With them
was MYRTLE Cert, Ruefs henchman,
who had been sworn in as deputy
sheriff for the occasion. All three left
San Francisco Tuesday night
Late Train Spells Reception.
The mayors train was due at
Truckee at 10 o'clock in the morning,
but 1t was three hours late. This was
a great disappointment to Ruef who
had made arrangements with the
Southern Pacific for whirlwlnd trip
through the Sierras and into San
Francisco, SO as to bring the mayor
into the city in time for monster dem
onstration by the workingmen.
There were other things calculated
to try the patience of the "boss." In
the first place, he received word at
Truckee that 1t was raining heavily at
San Francisco and that Market street
was a sea of mud. Even If the train
elrived early enough he was told the
parade in the rain and mud would be a
dismal and disheartening affair.
Omen? Or Just Frost?
Then, to crown all, 1t was showing
at Truckee, and the weather was ex-
ceedingly cold. Ruef and the two dep
uties put In their time while waiting
for the delayed train walking up and
down the main street Of Truckee. At
one time Ruef said to reporter:
''You can say that as Mayor schmitz
entered California he was greeted by
fall Of beautiful white snow, en-
blematic of purity and his own limo.
cence, or you can say that his home
coming was frost, and it is mighty
chilly one at that
When the train finally arrived Ruet
was the first to board it. He found
the mayor and Mrs. Schmitz in draw.
ing room. Deputy Sheriff Knox enter.
ed and handed the mayor the warrant
1t was not read. The mayor did not
emerge from the drawing room until
the train reached Oakland at 10 o'clock
last night. He remained in earnest
consultation with Ruef all the way
across the state.

Tricked by Dyspepsia

The Doctor Couldn't Tell Where the
Trouble Lay.
For the past seven years have
been a victim Of dyspepsia and chronic
constipation and have consulted the
diseases OF this character. None, how
or give relief. In addition to this medi-
use of many remedies and have given
pose.
upon the recommendation of
close friend purchased SOC package
of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and in
less than five days noticed that was
receiving more benefit than from any
remedy had used before. / continued
to use the tablets after each meal for
one month and by that time my stom-
ach was in a healthy condition, capa-
BILE of digesting anything which my
increasing appetite demanded.

remedy"
We wish that you could see with
bona-fde signed letters from grateful
men and women all over the land who
had suffered years of agony with dys-
pepsia tried every known remedy and
consulted eminent specialists without
result, until they gave Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets trial. Like the doctor
above they couldn't locate the seat Of
/ the trouble.
to-
long baff1ed physicians. So difficult of
location is the disease that cure seems
next to miraculous. There is only one
way to treat dyspepsia-to supply the
elements which nature has ordained to
perform this function and to cause
them to enter the digestive organs,
supplying the fluids which they lack.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets alone fill
these requirements, as is shown by the
fact that 10000 physicians in the
United States and Canada unite in rec.
ommending them to their patients for
stomach disorders.
We do not claim or expect Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets to cure anything but
disordered conditions of the stomach
they never fail to do They work

glands and aid in the secretion Of

$1,1oo,ooo,ooo - Secretary Tells Of
Wealth of the Farmer.


Washington, D. c., Nov. 2s.-As q
Thanksgiving greeting from the gov
eminent to the country, Secretary
Wilson of the department OF agricul-
ture has issued his tenth annual re-
port 1t is addressed to the President.
but 1t is meant for the world.
Figures impossible to grasp, recount
ing the, wealth drawn from the earth
by the farmer during the past year, are
contained in the message. 1t places
the year 1906 far apart from and ahead
of all other years in recorded time for
the bounty poured from the hands of
nature. But there are more than fg-
ures in It, III
The report is epochal. It Is not a
mere array OF tables and statistics,
dealing with millions of dollars, with
tons and with bushels. It has rather
the sound of solemn psalm. The Sec
rotary does indeed at first try, by the
use of enormous numbers, to convey
some faint Idea of the strength Of the
pulse of prosperity upon which his I'm
ger rests. But finding these useless,
he is forced into the language Of the
seer, rather than of the statistician, to
tell of the achievements OF the Ameri-
can farmer.
Surplus Loads Oceans Fleets.
with his surplus beyond the ma
TONS need" says the report, .'the far
mer has loaded the fleets Of oceans.
The farm oyershadows the mill, the
factory, and the workshop. A new dig
nifty has come upon the tiller of the
soil, and new strength Far back Of
the fruitful horizon Of his prairie and
his mountains he sees new horizon,
richer in the eyes Of the future than is
the serrated sky line of the city"
And In closing his introduction the
secretary has written:
For the abundance with which the
Creator has sustained the farmer, for
the stability Of the national agriculture
and for the comforting prospect Of a
potent future, there are evidences on
every hand that the people are ready
to join in a day Of reyerent and joyous
| thanksgiying.'

his own state of Iowa, to which he JUS
titles new title, "the hog state"

ports must suddenly cease, or the home

Tells Of farmers Wealth.

OuI I0SSdTCu, says Inc secretary
introduction, "extends to all states and
territories, and to our island posses
sions. Explorations during the past
year In extreme northern ATTITUDES of
Europe and Asia, and in the desert re-
gions, have resulted in accessions of
plants suitable to our dry regions,
which promise to help in bringing them
into profitable production.
Economic revolution in the art and
science of agriculture which became
noticeable in this country half dozen
years ago, has continued during 1905,
with tremendous effect upon the ma
tons prosperity. Crops SO large as to
be beyond any rational comprehension
have strained the freight carrying abil-
ity of railroads. Directly and indirect
ly the farmer has set up demand for
iron and steel which has exceeded the
productive power of the chief producer
among nations.
"The farmer has become aware of
the Importance of his place in the re-
public and in the pride of his occupa-
ton ne is ready to offer this year &C
count of himself to the people,"
Then an attempt to summarize the
value of crops is made. But this Is
preceded by the announcement that
the summary is only guess, and that
the reality will probably exceed the fig
ureS,
Crop Value is $4,000, 900.
"The fam products Of the year."
says the report, taken at that point
in production at which they acquire
commercial value, have value Of
$6,794, 100000. This is nearly half a
billion more than the value Of 1905,
three-ouaIters of billion more than
in 1904, four-fifths of billion more
than in 1903, and far more than two
billion-$2, OFT 10000 is the exact fig
ure-ln excess of the census figures for
1S9s."
Reducing this to percentage. the re-
port says: "The value Of the farm
products Of 1906 was per cent greater
than that Of 1905, 10 per cent over 1904,
is per cent over 1903, and A per cent
over $780,"
For this increase" it continues,
there is no parallel in the recorded
history of mankind"
Corn remains by far the most val
liable crop, It's estimated value being
81, 100, 100000 for the 1881, 000, 900 bush
els. Second comes the cotton crop; but
though only-three fifths of the value of
the corn crop, the white staple of the
south retains its long lead in export
value, bringing a transatlantic cur
rent of gold reaching to $4O1, 0O0, 900
for 1864, 100000 pounds.
Farmer Good to Himself, Too.
Having produced fabulous wealth
during the year and having sent to for
eign countries out of the wealth of the
preceding year enough to pay the in
terest bearing national debt, the farm
er may now take account of his. farm
