The Turning Point of the Civil War.

There is a guide at Gettysburg, Pa,

Gettysburg Hotel, who is q genius.
While not himself a soldier. perhaps
few if any of the actual participants
of that three days terrible fight have

He has been a resident of the town
since 1855. and was conductor Of the
Gettysburg & Hanover Railroad until
1t was burned by the Confederates
June 26, 1868.
Upon the memorable first day of July,
with many other citizens, he went out
to the right of the Union army, where
the battle had already commenced. A
member of the Twelfth Illinois cavalry
fred the first shot, and q squadron Of
that regiment continued skirmishipg
until relieved by the infantry OF the
First corps, commanded by Maj. Gen.
Reynolds. Later in the day Gen. Rey-
nolds was killed, and the Union troops
under Doubleday fell back through the
town and fortified the heights beyond.
Every house, public and private, had
become a hospital, and Sheads found
his little home filled with dead and
dying of both armies. Upon the second
and third day of the battle he was car
ing for the wounded and shortly after
commenced again running his train.
For the past nine years he has en-
ploved his entire time as a battlefield

bad, and that no legislation could be
too severe to mete out as a proper pun
ishment for these monsters of extor-
ton. On the other hand, there are
those who think that the railroads
have been of a very material benefit
to the country and that while they
should be regulated and shorn of their
.undoubted powers to injure the ship
pers and the communities which de-
pend upon them, they should still be
accorded a hearing and reasonable
treatment.
The Presidents attitude on the rail
road question is specific. He favors
the enlargement of the powers of the
Interstate Commerce Commission so
as to enable that body to fix railroad
rates, where they are deemed by the
Commission to be excessive, at the

Many people have found out the truth about old
fashioned coffee.
They have overcome disease caused by it.
The plan was easy and sure.
Quit Coffee and use Postum.
Proof with ones self is stronger than any theory.
The Postum army grows by hundreds of thousands
yearly.
The old-fashioned Coffee Magnates are now derid-
ing Postum through the papers.
Because their pocketbooks are hurt, they would
drive the people back to the old coffee slavery.
One coffee prevaricator says: 1T (Postum) has
lately been exposed and found to contain an excess
of very ordinary coffee"
Another that ut (Postum) is made from a small
amount of parched peas, beans, wheat, dried sweet
potatoes, and paste of wheat middlings."

Autos For Rural Delivery.

The Recommendation Of Fourth As
sistant Postmaster General DeGraw
that rural carriers be allowed to use
automobiles in serving their routes
has been approved by Postmaster Gen
eral Cortelyou. The Postmaster Gen.
eral, however, expressly reserves the
right to require the rural carriers to
discontinue the use of such vehicles
and resume the service of their routes
in the ordinary vehicles prescribed by
the regulations, If proof is made Of un.
satisfactory service arising from the
use of automobiles. In addition to
this, the rural carriers are required
also to maintain a fixed schedule SO
that the boxes for their patrons may
be served at or about the same time
each day.

TO REGULATE RAILROADS.
Numerous Rate Bills Before Congress
at Present. Senator Morgan Opens
Discussion.-General Public Desires
More Enlightenment.

Whether or not there is to be the
specific railroad rate legislation In
Congress after the lines of The vigor-
Gus demands of the President, it is a
fact that many laws have been started
rejoicing ON their initial courses at
both ends of the Capitol. They are Of
all sorts and conditions. Some will die
in the borning, some will be the bases
for %thunderous TRADES of denunciation
against the railroads. with no inten-
ton by the authors of accomplishing
ANYTHING but getting their remarks
before their constituencies at home,
in the borning, some will be the basis
the committees, and pigeon-holed, or
possibly merged into the n or W
bills which will be taken up for serious
consideration by the House and Senate
themselves.
There is a vast difference of opinion
on the railroad rate question. There
are some who tell us that the term

process. Each visitor sees Postum made of different
parts of the wheat berry treated by different mechan-
ical methods ard one part blended with a small part
of pure New Orleans molasses. So he knows Postum
contains not one thing in the world but Wheat and
New Orleans molasses. 1t took more than a year OF
experimenting to perfect the processes and learn how
to develop the diastase and properly treat the other
elements in the wheat to produce the coffee-like flavor
that makes suspicious people wonder" But there
never has been one grain of old fashioned or drug
coffee in Postum and never will be.
Another thing, we have ON file in Our general Offices
the original of every testimonial letter we have ever
published. We submit that our attitude regarding
coffee is now and always has been absolutely fair. If
one wants a stimulant and can digest coffee and II
does not set UP any sort of physical ailnent, drink It.
But, If coffee o~vertaxes and weakens the heart land
it does with some).
Or if it sets up disease of the stomach and bowels
(and it does with some).
Or if it causes weak eyes (and it does with some),
Or if it causes nervous prostration (and il does
with many.
Then good plain old-fashioned common sense might
%(without asking permission of coffee merchants) sug.
gest to quit putting caffeine (the drug of coffee) into
a highly organized human body, for health is really
wealth and the happiest sort of wealth.
Then if ones own best interest urges him to study
into the reason and There's a reason" he viii un-
earth great big facts that all of the sophistries Of the
coffee importers and roasters cannot refute.

AS all the money which is being ex-
pended In the construction of these
irrigation works is to be paid back to
the Government by the settlers taking
the land, and to go into the "reclama-
ton fund.-" the work of future con-
struction will proceed as fast as the re-
payments are made from the projects
now under construction. Possibly also,
when the first few completed irrigation
projects shall have thoroughly demon
strated themselves to be the successful
experiments which they are proving,
Congress will not be aVerse to making
a direct appropriation as a loan to the
reclamation fund"
A direct Congressional appropriation
for such a loan is not believed to be
at all beyond the bounds of accom-
plishment some time in the future
after, as stated, the systems now under
construction shall have demonstrated
themselves TO be the successes predict
ed. The present figure above noted Of
$37 100000 for irrigation would have
been looked upon as the dream OF an
impractical enthusiast at the time that
the irrigation bill was being discussed
In Congress, less than four years ago.
The year before the passage OF the act
the securing OF a hundred million dol
lar appropriation would have been
believed to be as likely a figure as five
million, TO say nothing of thirty-seven
million.

same time he has stated that it is of
course his desire that nothing should
be done to injure railroad properties
or drive the companies out of business
The railroads themselves are not
pleased with this plan of regulation
While many OF them may not have
done, in past times, the best possible
by the public, they fear that to give an
absolute rate-making power to a politi
cal commission, such as the Interstate
Commerce Commission, appointed by a
Chief Executive, would be not only an
unconstitutional method of regulation
but would place in that body a power,
which IL not wisely administered
might practically put them, the rail
roads, out of business. The provision
that they would have to the
courts after a rate had been fixed bv
the Commission and put into effect
would help them but little since their
entire schedule would be changed and
the damage done, before the courts
could be brought to reach a decision.
The other point of view is that with
the knowledge that their rates will be
carefully scrutinized and contested.
they will be extremely careful about
the making or enforcing of any ex-
cessive rates, while with the enact.
ment of a comprehensive law the rem.
edy will always lie with the Govern.

listing rates, without, however, disturb.

went down on that bloodiest of felds
where the dead and dying had fallen

LIES BATTLE IS NOW OVER.

James Irvine Fraser, the father of A.
II. Fraser, of this city, died at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Darcy, of Los
/ Angeles, last evening, at about 8:45
o'clock, after brief illness. The de-
ceased was born in Dumfries, Scotland
| in 1920, and was, therefore, in the
eighty-tifth year of his age. He was
born on Allendale road, not far from
the tomb of Bobby" Burns, and one of
the old gentleman's chief delights used
to be to visit the last resting place of
the great Scotch poet.
Mr.. James Irvine Fraser came to the
United States forty years ago. On
leaving Scotland he went to New
Brunswick and Canada, little later
locating in Michigan, where he con-
tinued to live until eleven years ago,
when he came to California and took
up his residence in Los Angeles, max
ing his home with his daughter, Mrs.
Darcy.
On last Friday the old gentleman
visited his son, A. X. Fraser, and was
in the very best of health. He spent
delightful day with the family, re-
turning to Los Angeles, in the even
ing. On reaching home he was in
good spirits and did not complain of
feeling i'll, but at 2 o'clock in the morn
ing Mrs. Darcy was awakened by
groans coming from the old gentle
mans room. He had suffered a stroke
of paralysis. The family felt certain
that he could not recover, as this was
the third attack. He was a powerful
man and had been a great athlete in
his younger days. His strong physical
condition had enabled him to over
come the first two attacks, but his ad-
vanced years made him an easy prey
to the third. He continued to fail
from the moment the attack came on
Friday night, or rather Saturday morn
ing, until death released him last night.
His end was peaceful and calm.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon from the residence of his
daughter, Mrs. Darcy, and interment
will be in Rosedale cemetery, where A.
r. Fraser has family lot.
The deceased is survived by one son,
A. X. Fraser, and five daughters, Mrs.
+. II. Grandy, of Sault Ste Marie; Mrs.
j. B. Francis, Yale: Mrs. Thos. Darcy
and Mrs. Ella Mitchell of Los Angeles
and Mrs. Leah Mills of Chicago
There are six grandsons and five grand
daughters who mourn grandpa's death.
One of the impressive features of the
service which will be held tomorrow
will be the fact that the remains will
be conveyed to their last resting place
by six grandsons, who will serve as
pallbearers.
Mr.. A. r. Fraser feels very much the
loss. He has been almost constantly
at his fathers bedside since receiving
the message of his illness at an early
hour on Saturday morning.
The deceased was one of the sturdiest
of Scotland's sons. He was man of
very reserved characteristics, but was
loved by all who knew him.-The

December 13, 1905.

AN APOLOGY TO THE EXPOSITOR.

We feel that we owe to the Expositor
an apology and are anxious to give to
that valuable paper its just due. Some
weeks ago we questioned whether or
not newspaper advertising was of any
benefit and after carefully watching
for results we are convinced that we
did our local paper an injustice for ever
thinking that we were not getting
several times oyer our moneys worth.
We have been convinced that your
paper reaches a great majority of the
people who do their trading i'm Yale,
and that they read advertisements.
This proof has been furnished us by
the many calls we have had during the
past few days for the all wool waists
we have been advertising at reduced
prices, also the hip length Fay stock
ings that appeared in last weeks adv.
Please accept the above apology and
consider us as yours truly,
NEWELL a PONsFORD.
