The footprints of Dyspepsia have been directly traced to the Stomach
 nerves. When these inside nerves" fail, indigestion and stomach distress must surely result. For this, drug gists everywhere are supplying a pre- scription known as Dr Shoop's Re- storative. First, these tiny inside Stomach, Heart, and Kidney nerves fail. Then gas belching, Heart pal pitation, or failing Kidneys follow. Don't drug the Stomach or stimulate the Heart or Kidneys. That is wrong. Strengthen these failing nerves with Dr Shoop's Restorative. It is the nerves, not the organs that are calling for help. Within AS hours after start ing the Restorative treatment. you will realize the gain. A test will tell. Sold by all dealers.

asleep. A. j. Falvey and H. d. Heit-
muller of National parlor of San Fran

amount paid by the United Railroads
was turned into the treasury.
Deputy County Clerk Greif. who, 1t
Is said, deposited the check, is now

that In November, 1904, John Pettee,

The deeds are made out on common

that the body of the deeds was made

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE Cal.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
YOSEMITE, May 2s.-The valley of
the Yosemite presented today as rare
a spectacle as ever delighted the hui
man eye. On a grassy meadow ex-
tending half a mile across the valley
as tae most efficient in the world per-
formed intricate evolutions, while
1000 spectators ranged themselves
about the circular arena.
A more enthusiastic crowd had never
been assembled. Foreign dignitaries
and New York millionaires, dressed in
the height of fashion, brushed shoul-
ders with the black bronze Indian who
drifted in from the neighboring camps
The Native Sons predominated; but
more picturesque were the hundreds of
women in summer white khaki walk
ing suits, their heads adorned with
tramping hats of multicolored bands.
While the soldiers galloped hither and
thither across the spacious field. they
passed under fire of a battery. of cam
eras. The reyolvers and rifles of the
riders barked at the spectators IN
harmless smoke, to be answered by the
click of hundred shutters.
Major Henry c. Benson, commander
of the federal forces in the valley and
superintendent OF the park. overlooked
the scene from his horse: but as soon
as he refined his animal into the arena
to issue a command he was greeted by
three heartily given cheers.
The Native Sons marched in process
sion from the Sentinel hotel to the drill
grounds. James Taylor, a delegate
from Salinas. acted as grand marshal,
and young Lloyd Lennon, son OF Judge
E. j. Lennon of San Rafael, acted as his
aid. Next in line marched the grand
and the California bear flags, banners
that had been presented to the order
earlier in the day. The wives of the
members occupied an honorary posi-
tion in the parade, and following them
came. the members of the order. The
Metceds band joined in the procession
and played during the afternoon
:. Hardly had the visitors seated them
selves on the green before the two
troops, ] and M of the Fourteenth cav
airy, rode upon the meadow so strong
Lieutenant Felner and First Sergeant
Brizena led Troop / upon the field. and
half an hour later 1t gave way to Troop
NJ, under Lieutenant Lippincott. The
cavalry cantered and galloped through
the maneuvers, responding to the trum-
pet calls and the commands of the off,
GERS with precision that bespoke the
most careful training. The troopers
0lSmOunIe0 ana SlOImeu the strong
holds of the imaginary enemy. AS the
shots rang out the echoes rolled along
the valley walls and out into the lofty
canyons.
The exhibition was concluded by a
Roman riding contest, nine troopers,
each balancing on two bareback horses,
circling the arena as fast as their ami
mails could go. Lee Schlusser won by
scoring the highest number of points.
