CHEAP RATES FOR OFFICERS
Railroads Do Not Agree on What
They Will Do

Railroads are not agreed in the mat
ter of half-fare rate to army and navy
officers and their families and members
of the government reclamation service.
The new law does not specify that
these classes are to be given the benefit
of cheaper rates than anybody else,
and the general opinion has been that
it is now illegal to give them anything
except the regular published rates.
From information received from a
railroad man it would seem that about
third of the roads are giving half
rates to officers, a third have placed
them on a parity with the general pub
lie, while the other third have not yet
decided what they will do.
The fact that Gen. Corbin made such
a strong protest against the withdrawal
of the half rates stirred some sentiment
on the subject, and it is probable that
the roads have been considerably in
fluenced to continue the rates until
January l.
In the case of the reclamation SER
vice men, railroad men believe that ii
was simply an oversight that they were
not put in among the exceptions. u
Since postofice inspectors and immigra-
ton inspectors are allowed to have free
passes even by the new law, it is
argued that the reclamation men should
have some concession.

Two hundred happy refugees of the
Sar Francisco Refugee association
gathered at Turner hall last night to
pass the evening with vaudeville and
dance. The affair was given as q bene-
fit for the refugee association, and while
the attendance was not large still the
enthusiasm and good fellowship shown
compensated for the lack of numbers.
The first part of the night was given
over to light vaudeville, following which
the floor was cleared for dancing With
very few exceptions the performers
were refugees, and met with an en-
| thusiastic reception.
1t would be difficult to choose the best
numbers of the pleasing program, but
little S-year-old Reina Ross in a song
and dance number was certainly en-
titled to a front place among the en-
tertainers. Helena Jman, a few years
her senior, had two catchy songs, and
THE Burning of Frisco Town." sung
las a finale by little Louise Lutzen,
touched responsive chord among the
San Francisco members of the aud
ience.
But probably the most interesting
feature of the occasion was the deco
rating, which was done by the veteran
decorator, j. S. Dynes. Before the great
fire of April swept through San Fran
cisco Mr.. Dynes had packed up several
boxes of flags and bunting which he in
tended to use on a decorating job at
Redding and when he saw the flames
Threatening his stock he dug deep
trenches in his back. yard burying the
flags under four feet of sand. The next
day his home was destroyed and for
some time the flames ragged over the
spot where his flags were buried When
he dug them up after the fire had been
extinguished they were practically un-
harmed, only a few of the top ones
being scorched by the heat. But the
many shields and decorations which
had not been buried were eaten up by
the flames. OF all the flags rescued
several dozen were used last night in
the decoration of the hall and proved a
source of interest to all who knew their
history.

PRESIDENT PRAISES
MlSSOURPS GUNNERS
Rv Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Stories brought
ashore by United States sailors at
Provincetown, Mass, a dispatch to the
Herald declares, are to the effect that
President Roosevelt was enthusiastic
over the fine showing made by the gun
ners of the battleship Missouri in target
practice.
The showing made with the big guns
was especially pleasing to him.
Two Pinch guns were fired at target
No /, four shots each and every shot
scored a hit, the whole eight being fired
in three and one-half minutes.
President Roosevelt was standing
where he could plainly see the shots in
their fight and see them hit the target.
AS the shells one after another struck
the target he could bring his right fist
into the palm of tire left as though he
were striking a blow and exclain
bully"
That's great. Now isn't that fine?
Another right through"
When the eighth shot had punched its
huge hole right under the bulls eye, the
president cried:
Eight shots, and every one right
square through the target! It's Won
derful, And Pinch at that"
Mr.. Roosevelt learned that for more
than a year every 12-inch shot fired on
the Missouri has struck the target

ANARCHIST SHAKES HAND
OF lTALYS RULER
In Assoelated Fress.

NEW YORK, oct. "a special cable
dispatch from Milan, Italy, printed here
states that excitement has been caused
by the discovery that the notorious an
archist Quito lately gained admission
to the palace at Racconigi, and shook
hands with King Victor Emmanuel.
Quito, who represented himself as a
professional entertainer, applied to tre
police for permission to give biograph
show in the palace.
The police appealed to the palace Off
cials, who obtained the kings consent.
The show went off successfully and
the king rewarded the entertainer gen.
erously When his majesty bade Quito
farewell he shook hands with him.
The police we're afterward shocked
to find that the entertainer was the
well known anarchist who thus mad the
king at his mercy. Though no harm
was done, the police are suing Quito
for making a false statement

DIED SUDDENLY
OF HEART DISEASE.

How frequently does head line SINH
lar to the above greet US in the news
papers. The rush, push and strenuous
ness of the American people has strong
tendency to lead up to valvular and other
affections of the heart, attended by r-
regular action, palpitation, dizziness,
smothered sensations and other distress
ing symptoms.
Three of the prominent ingredients Of
which DIR. Pierce'S Golden Medical Dis
covery Is made are recommended by some
Of the leading writers on Mdterin Medtcd
for the cure of just such cases. Golden
Seal root, for instance, is said by the
UNITED STATES DIsPENsAToRY, a stand
ard authority, ITO impart tone and in
creased power to the hearts action"
Numerous other leading authorities rep
resent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed
tonic for the muscular system in general,
and as the heart Is almost wholly com
posed of muscular tissue, 1t naturally
follows that ii must be greatly strength
ened by this superb, general tonic. But
probably the most Important ingredient
of uGolden Medical Discovery" so far
as its marvellous cures of valvular and
other affections OF the heart are con-
cerned, is Stone root, or C0LbjllsO1ltI CAM,
Prof VIM. Paine, author OF Paine's
Epitomy of Medicine, says Of ~
a. not long since had patient who was
SO much oppressed With valVular disease OF
the heart that his friends were obliged TO
carry him upstairs He. however gradually
recovered under the influence OF Colllnsonln
medicinal principle extracted from Stone
root. and Is now attending TO his business.
Heretofore physicians knew OF no remedy
for the removal OF so distressing and so dan
gerous a malady With them 1t was all
guess work. and II fearfully warned the
afflicted that death was mean at hand Col
linsonin unquestionably affords relief in
such cases. and in most Instances effects

Stone root is also recommended by Drs.
Hale and ElllngwOod, of Chicago, for
yalvplar and other diseases OF the heart:
The latter says: 1T is heart tonic Of
direct and permanent influence"

All Roads Report Increase in Fares

AS a result not only of the larger
number of persons travelling but also
to the fact that the large army of pas
sengers who formerly rode on passes
or reduced rates are now paying full

tically all roads are said to be greatly
increased
1t is reported that the increase on the
Pen nsylvania lines east of Pittsburg
alone amounts to $4O0, 900 up to Septem-

The general reduction in passenger
