Mr.. 6. M. Eldridge returned to Amer.

sion to Chicago, where he was sum
moned week ago by the tragic death
of his only brother, Mr.. Arch r, El-
bridge, resulting from the accidental
discharge Of his revolver. which he
was cleaning.
The funeral services occurred on
Monday last, the interment taking
place in Chicago.
A coroner's jury thoroughly investi-
gated the death of Mr.. Eldridge, rem
dering a verdict to the effect that il re-
suited from accident The Chicago Tri-
bune contained the following account
of the distressing casualty:
Archibald r. Eldridge, 80 years old,
residing at 1855 Barry avenue, Killed
himself at $50 O'Clock last evening
while cleaning revolver in his room.
The bullet lodged in the brain back
of the right eye. Death was almost
instantaneous.
The shooting is believed by the po-
lice to have been accidental.
MIR. Eldridge was assistant chief
engineer of the Burlington road and
was regarded highly by President Har-
ris of the Burlington and President Ell
lott of the Northern Pacific, with whom
he he had been associated for eight
years.
"All The other members of Mr.. Ell
bridges family were absent at the time
OF the shooting. The houseman was in
the basement looking after the furnace
when he heard the shot. He rushed up
stairs to Mr.. Eldridge's room and found
him lying dead ON the floor, the revol-
yer under his body.
lone hand was clutching pair of
pliers, with which he probably had
been repairing the revolver.
Mrs Eldridge, who returned with
the children a short time after the ac-
cident, was Frustrated when informed

contracting engineers, 13S Washington
street close personal friend, inviting
him and Mrs. ROemheld to spend the
evening at the Eldridge residence.

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great change
few years Of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
briliiance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.
AS surely as the general health suffers
when there is arrangement of the health
of the delicate Womanly organs, so surely
when these organs are established in
health the face and form at once witness
to the fact in renewed comelinesS. Nearly
million women have found health and
happiness in the use of DR.. Pierce's Fa-
Vorite Prescription. 1t makes weak wom-
en- strong and sick women well. Ingredi-
ents on label-contains no alcohol OF
harmful habit-forming drugs, made
wholly of those native, American, medic
inal roots most highly recommended by
leading medical authorities of all the sew
eral schools of practice for the cure Of
WOman's peculiar ailments.
For nursing mothers or for those broken
down in health by too frequent bearing of
children, also for the eXpectant mothers,
to prepare the system for the coming of
baby and making its advent easy and
almost painless, there is no medicine quite
80 good as vFayorite Prescription" 1t
can do no harm in any condition Of the

B. B. Harris opened his barber
shop last week in the room next
east of McCormick's bakery and
which was formerly used as pool
room. He first bought out John
Vincent, and therefore starts up

people won't care about that so long
as he gives them good shave - and
he does that.

some good things about the paper
and concerning his continued inter
est in Crescent City, where he lived
so long and numbered so many
friends. These, we are sure, will be
more than gratif1ed to learn of his
continued prosperity in that land of
sunshine, sugar, aguidente, rebellion
and chicken fights. If Mr.. Newsom
wasn't so blamed prosperous down
there, the chances are he would come
back home, for there is no country
he can ever love quite 80 well as

"If were to offer to wager that
could sit squarely on my silk hat with
out crushing it, you would take me up,
l suppose" said a clubman to fellow
member. "Well, you would lose" he
continued "a good silk hat should
support the weight of a man say 140
pounds without yielding, providing the
weight is applied gradually and care
fully. The way to do it is to place the
hat ON smooth, strongly supported
surface, crown downward, and lay a
board across the rim, in the hollow.
On this seat yourself steadily and slow
ly, and you will find the hat does not
yield. OF course, hat that has once
been bent or broken will not do. Nor
is the rule invariable. 1t applies only
to good hats. Have I ever tried it?
Yes, l have, but not on my own hat
