II very much appreciate the compli-
Tom Gibbons and Dan Neuhart, but
later it was increased to fifty, compris-
ing the leading Democrats of Los An
geles.
Owing to the near approach of the
state convention and the prospect that
Mr.. Bryan would come to California to
participate in the campaign, 1t was de-
cided to postpone the banquet until Mr..
Bryan could be here in person.
With this understanding, the COM
mittee was continued, and even after
Mr.. Bryan sent word that it would be
impossible for him to take in the Cali
fornia campaign, owing to previous en-
gagements. the committee remained in
existence, completely organized and
prepared to complete the work for
which 1t was originally created.
Mr.. Warner said last last that it
would remain for the committee to de-
eide upon the program, but that I'M
doubtedly the general public would be
invited to participate in a reception to
be held probably in tine afternoon and
that a banquet would be held at night.
a. G. Harper a member of the COM
mittee, will be the mayor of Los An
geleS at the time of Mr.. Bryan's pro-
posed visit, and by reason of the fact
that Mr.. Harper is a Democrat 1t is
possible that the council, out of cour-
tesy to Mayor Harper, will make Mr..
Bryan a guest Of the city.
This subject probably will be taken
up at the first meeting of the COM
mittee, which will be called early dur
ing the week.

ment contained in your proposition. Do
not know whether 1t will materialize,
but 1T was certainly kind of you to take
such an interest in my homecoming.
Il expect to pass through Los Angeles
about the last of January and shall
hope to have the pleasure of seeing you.
Very truly yours,
"W. J. BRYAN"
Mr.. Warner Immediately replied, in
forming Mr.. Bryan that it was the
earnest desire to give him reception
and asking him, as soon as possible, to
name the exact date his arrival, in
order that definite arrangements can be
made for the occasion.
Public Reception Planned
Mr.. Warner said last night that ten
tative plans contemplate public recep-
ton at Temple Auditorium in the after
noon and a banquet at night.
Arrangements for the event will be
in the hands of a committee, of which
Mr.. Warner is chairman, and which will
hold meeting tomorrow or Wednes-
day.
This committee, which is known as
the Bryan banquet committee, was ap-
pointed by Milton K. Young, then chair
man of the Democratic county central
committee, last July, in contemplation
of giving a banquet on the night of the
day on which Mr.. Bryan was to land in
New York on his return from his trip
around the world.
The committee was composed of A.
D. Warner, chairman; A. c. Harper,
Nathan Cole, jr, Capt. George M. Cake,

and the merchant, assured by the re-
liable and prosperous appearance of
Davis, would readily accept the slip of
paper as payment and give him the
balance in cash.
The detectives say that Davis has
been an habitue of the race tracks and
a general sport. He has been consid-
cred among his friends as a dead
game sport" one who took his losses
with never culver of the eye and
this is believed to account for his
method of obtaining money.
Davis always dressed lavishly, al
though he has not been known to work
for a number of years. About three
years ago he is said to have been en-
ployed by the Los Angeles Railway
company as a conductor. Since then,
however his means of livelihood and
luxuries have been a mystery to those
who know him.

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY

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 mo-
| laSses every spring and fall.
1t was the universal spring and fall
blood purifier" tonic and cure-all,
and, mind you, this old-fashioned rem
edy was not without merit.
The idet- 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 expert
ence have proven that the best sui
phur for medicinal use is that obtained
from Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and
sold in drug stores under the name of
Stuart's Calcium Waters. They are
small chocolate coated pellets and con-
tain the active medicinal principle of
sulphur in 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 eXcretory organs and purifieS
and enriches the blood by the prompt
SllllllldllOll VI WdSlG uldltIldl.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary flow
erS of sulphur were often worse than
the disease, and cannot compare with
the modern concentrated preparations
of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium
Waters is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure con-
stipation and purify the blood in a
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike. y
DIR. r. M. Wilkins, while experiment.
ing with sulphur remedies, soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was SUI
perior to any other form. He says:
For liver, kidney and blood troubles,
especially when resulting from consti-
patton or malaria, 1 have been sur
prised at the results obtained from
Stuart's Calcium Waters In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even deep-seated carbuncles, / have
repeatedly seen them dry up and dis
appear in four or five days leaving
the skin clear and smooth Although
Stuart's Calcium Waters is a proprie-
tary article and sold by druggists and
for that reason tabooed by many ply
sicians, yet / know of nothing so safe
and reliable for constipation, liver and
kidney troubles and especially I'm Al
forms Of skin diseases as this remedy
At any rate people who are tired oiN
pills cathartics and so-called blood
purifiers" will find in Stuart's Call
cium Waters a far safer, more palat-
able and effective preparation.

XX TILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
wv will visit Los Angeles within
the next four weeks.
The exact date on which America s
first Democrat will reach the Angel
City has not been set, but it will be
during the latter part of January.
Mr.. Bryan's visit to Los Angeles will
be an incident of his trip to Australia,
but the Democrats of this city, and
doubtless of all Southern California,
plan to make the occasion one Of the
most notable of the entire journey to
and from the antipodes.
There is a possibility that the recep-
ton of Mr.. Bryan will take the form of
a public affair. but this is a question
which will be decided later. In any
event, the public will be invited to join
in giving Mr.. Bryan a reception befit-
ting a man of his di tinction, regardless
of politics.
One plan suggested is to engage the
Temple Auditorium for a public recep-
ton during the afternoon and to enter
tain Mr.. Bryan at a banquet at night
Tells of Coming Visit
Information that Mr.. Bryan would
visit Los Angeles next month came
from him direct in the following letter,
received yesterday:

HICKS IN TUNNEL

and cause him to take cold.

He eagerly grasped the hands OF
those who surrounded him and came
forward with words of cheer and
greeting for the man who had beer
brought back almost from death itself
Tears filled his eyes as he received
the congratulations, and strong mer
wept when they gazed at his shrunker
cheeks.
By Associated Press.
BAKERSFIELD, Cal, Dec. a.
Hicks was taken from the shaft al
11:25 last night.
The last cut on the second rail was
made at 11:12 p. M, and no sooner was
the section removed and the way left
open than Hicks began to scrape away
the rocks and dirt and crawl toward
the opening.
With arms in front of his head he
went into the miniature tunnel and be-
gan to work his way slowly through to
the other side of the car When he had
progressed about half way he stopped
and Superintendent Frank Miller, who
stood at the tube at the mouth of the
shaft, Immediately called and asked
what was the matter.
"Oh, nothing" Hicks called back.
I'm just going to stop. I'm out of
wind. My wind is very short you
know"
Then the man OF iron moved a few
inches further toward freedom and his
arms were seized by DR.. Stinchf1eld
and Miner Gents. The two exerting
all their strength pulled the miner out
into the main tunnel, where he was
placed in a sitting position.
The blindfold had been removed as
the tunnel was lighted by candles only
and the light was dim. And there, a
hundred feet from the face of the
mountain and within a step Of where
the miner had lain entombed for nearly
sixteen long days, there occurred a pa
thetic scene. DR.. Stinchfleld with tears
in his eyes and with his hands laid af-
fectionately on Hicks shoulder said:
- well, how are you, old boy?"
And there were tears in the eyes OF
Hicks as we'll; the only tears that have
shown there in all the days and nights
since he was entombed as he replied:
II am feeling fine. 1 can never thank
you Doc for what you have done"
And then came Superintendent Cone,
the man who has stayed by the work
night and day, neglecting every inter
est, personal and of his company as
we'll, to aid in the rescue of the miner.
He came forward and took Hicks by
both his hands and said:
II am glad to see you again. old
man."
Hicks, with voice choked with emo
ton, attempted to thank him also for
his efforts in his behalf.
The superintendent gazed steadfastly
At Hicks for moment and then, un-
able to speak further, he turned and
walked cut Of the tunnel and up the
side.
To a representative of the Asso-
dated Press he said:
"Of course l am overjoyed that Hicks
s out and l am rejoiced that he is Well
md strong. 1t was long tedious Job

Duel by Suicide.
From the London Globe,


A tragedy. romantic on the surface, but In
reality throwing a repulsive light on the
hollowness of life in Russia, is reported
from MOSCOW. Two young Poles, named
Nidetzki and Komorovsky, attending ball
given by Count Feodorovo, were both so
smitten with the beauty Of the counts
daughter that, though friends from boy
hood, they at once became deadly enemies,
and before the ball was half over deter
mined upon a duel to the death by that
most strange but most deadly Of all meth
ods-the suicide of one of the combatants.
It was decided that the loser OF game of
ecarte should kill himself and toward the
end Of the ball the infatuated pair went
to the cardroom for their game at death.
In few minutes Komoroysky had lost.
and, quietly drawing a revolver. he shot
himself through the heart. Nidetzkf took
the first express for Berlin. AS for the
fair cause of the tragedy. she was so little
impressed that within few days she had
accepted proposal from Russian noble
man.
