The pulsation of the heart
marks the passage of the blood
through the veins, just as the
ticking Of a clock indicates the
flight of moments of time.
Palpitation, huttering or irreg-
ular action reveals the fact that
the heart is running down
and unless strengthened, is
liable to stop at any time TN
der some weakening influence,
such as excitement, over-work,
or intense mental or physical

RIVERSIDE, Jan. II. 49, Riverside
churches today became the beneticiaries
to the amount of $4,000 through the
generosity of DR.. and Mrs. Henry
Graves, both recently deceased.
Back in Kansas there is a middle
aged man working for laborers wages
with a large family and small means to
support them. He is the only son Of
decedents, but will receive only S. from
the S25 900 estate. The blow will fall
all the more severely on him when he
learns that his fathers hired man will
receive property and money amounting
to $4,000. Years ago he quarreled with
his parents. The breach never healed,
and not once in the last quarter of a
century had either pronounced his
name.
The joint will was drawn by Judge
Noyes for DR.. and Mrs. Graves about
four months ago. A month later DR..
Graves died from a paralytic stroke,
ard on Tuesday of this week his widow
was fatally stricken with the same
trouble. Both were over 20 years of
age. Mrs Graves funeral was held
yesterday afternoon, and this morning
the contents of the will We're made pub
lie by Judge Noyes. who is named as
executor
DR.. and Mrs. Graves were lifelong
Universalists, yet when they appor-
toned their wealth among the River
side churches they gave $1,000 to the
Methodist church and only $1,000 to the
church of their choice. A like sum
was also bequeathed to the Congrega-
tional and Presbyterian churches. The
pastors were given 800 each and c. j..
Sager, who for years had been DR..
Graves hired man and had cared for
the old couple with all a sons solici-
tude. was given property and money
amounting to $4,000.
DR.. and Mrs. Graves came to River
side from Hiawatha, Kas., twenty-five
years ago and bought the property on
Brockt1n avenue on which they resided
to the time of their death. A brother,
now 50 years old, survived DR. Graves,
but he is well to do and it was not ex-
pecte1 that any substantial bequest
would be made him. SO far as known
Mrs. GraEts left no immediate rela-

SAN PEDRO, Jan. 11.-Trouble has
arisen between the captain and crew
OF the big German bark Wandsbeck,
which is now lying in port, having un-
loaded her cargo of 10000 barrels Of
cement. 1t appears that several Of the
crew concluded they liked the climate
of Southern California better than that
of Germany and they deserted from the
ship, finding refuge among friends and
countrymen in the city. The captain,
finding men were hard to get here and
when they We're secured cost a great
deal more money, concluded he would
rot let the men go without a struggle,
so he sWore out warrants for their ar
rest on the charge of vagrancy.
The papers were given to the officers
and four arrests We're made, the men
being taken to the Los Angeles Jail
for safe keeping. Their trial was set
for today, but for some reason they
were not brought down and still re-
main in Jail. AS the ship is nearly
ready to leave it is supposed they will
be tried in a day or two and given a
floater. This will give the captain u
chance to get them aboard again. AS
seamen of Germany only receive about
500 a year for their services and earn
as much in three months here it is
little wonder that -he captain was so
anxious to get them back. The ship
expects to sail next Tuesday. 1t will
go in ballast to British Columbia
There It expects to get a charter for
wheat for Hamburg.

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 11.-Fake
doctors are to be given a cold recep-
tion in San Bernardino county. At a
meeting of the San Bernardino County
Medical society held in this city, at
which President Dudley Tate of the
state board of medical examiners was
present, a committee was appointed to
take up an investigation of fake doe
tors operating in this county with a
view to prosecuting them under the
state law
1t is alleged that a considerable num-
Der of this class of practitioners have
been operating in the county and much
harm has come from their work. 1t
has been determined that some step
must be taken to drive them out of
business. A number of these doctors"
have been operating among the ignor-
ant MeXicans, fleeing them Of their
hard-earned dollars. They also oper-
ate among the consumptives who come
to this county with but a few dollars,
and are willing to grasp at any slight
hope that may be held out by these
takers for their recovery, the result
being that the sick man loses his
money and then is thrown onto the
charity of the community.
Fix Crossing Point
It has been practically determined
between the officials of the San Ber-
nardino Valley Traction company and
the Santa Fe that the Riverside extern
sion from this city will cross the line
of the Santa Fe just south of the Santa
Ana river wash south of Cotton. At
this point the railroad makes q deep
cut and 1t is possible to get an over
head crossing for the electric line with
little cost, This will avoid a grade
crossing. This move indicates that the
route chosen for the Riverside extern
sion is paraleling Cotton avenue, the
most direct Of the two routes that have
been under consideration.

murmured something about Her name

back and the big crook pressed his
finger more tightly over the trigger.
Once again all was quiet and the
process of getting Macs purse was re-
sumed. Mac was still for a long time
and then came the critical moment,
The limbs Of the crook quivered so that
they shook the fixtures in the ROOM
Once in possession of the purse the
burglars ran out of the room and into
the street. Nor did they stop until
their rendezvous was reached. Then
they unfolded the purse and took out
the money. AS the detectives have not
found the rendezvous they are unable
to ascertain what was said there like
they were in the room by analyzng
cigarette ashes.
Misses Wallet
When Mac arose in the morning he
had little to think of but get to the
city bastile. After carefully dressing
himself he reached under his pillow
for his wallet. There was nothing
there. Then the fact dawned on him
that the door was open when he awoke.
He did not say much when he re-
ported the case to the detectives and
before leaving he said that he would
prefer that it be kept secret. Not until
late last evening did the story of the
robbery leak out. Then it came with
rush. Every one knew it and those
who know Mac felt sorry, but laughed.

arrested Chief Auble has issued orders
