FIFTEEN YEARS Of
KEEN SUFFERING
Rheumatism Developed Burning,
Painful Sores on Legs ortured
Day and Night Tried All Kinds
Of Remedies to No kvaiI-Wife
Had Debility and Pains in Back.
BOTH USED CUTICURA
AND ARE WELL AGAIN

"My husband had been a great suf-
ferer with rheumatism for nearly fifteen
years. At first it was in his bones, but
after while it was in the flesh and
finally running sores broke out on his
legs, from below the knees to the ankles.
There are no words to tell all the dis
comfort and great suffering he had to
endure night and day. He used every
kind of remedy and three physicians
treated him, one after the other, with
out any good results whatever. So
one day [ happened to read about
Cuticura Remedies. / asked him if
he would not try them. No. said he,
its no use, I've spent enough money
now The next day / ordered five
dollars worth of Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent.
He began to use them without conf
dence but after three weeks all the
sores were dried up- The burning
fire stopped, and the pains became
bearable. After three months he was
quite well. Two years later the pains
and sores came back after he had been
working hard and had taken cold.
But as soon as he used Cuticura again
1t cured him. Two years ago used
Cuticura Pills for general debility. They
did me a great deal Of good and made
me well. Three months eince had pains
in my back and Cuticura took them
away, too. / can prove this testi-
monial at any time. Mrs. V. v. Albert,

That ought to make us fight to win. as
we won last time, two TO one. With a
short, sharp fight we ought to put the

MAKES SACRAMENTO SMILE

The humor of this announcement ap-
peals especially to the people OF Sacra-
mento who remember that 1t was Her
rims men-SParker, Hatton and FISK
who personally conducted the ngnt
against Sacramento, and who, backed
by the entire strength of the railroad
organization. forced the capital removal
bill through the legislature. Every
leverage that the Herrin machine could
bring to bear was employed to force
the bill through Herrin's men-Parker
and Hatton-stalked around the floors
of the legislative halls. ordering MEM
bers to vote for the bill and the votes
of legislators for capital removal were
made the price of the passage of any

Ca1kins newspaper syndicate was put
into the fight for capital removal. and
the head of that syndicate, w. p.
CallSins. has not repudiated the te1e-
gram he sent to Assemblyman George
Root. urging him to vote for the bill.
Herrins man Hatton escaped indict-
ment by Sacramento grand jury.
through the efforts of Herrin's demo-
cratic man Friday. Tom Fox. With
all these things fresh in their minds,
the people of Sacramento are keenly
alive to the humorous solicitude of the
railroad machine TO secure the state

has spent several days in securing af-

the belief is declared that public SEN
timent is so strong against Ruef In
his home city that he cannot secure a
fair trial, and these aff1davits to the
number of 160 Will be flied IN support
of the formal motion. There will also
be an affidavit from Ruef himself. say
ing uncomplimentary things about the
several local newspapers, and copy
of the huge affidavit filed by him dur
ing the preliminary stage Of his ex-
tortion trial a year ago.
Ruef's purely perfunctory claim that
he can not receive justice In San Fran
cisco finds its foundation in the pub
licity given to the graft situation by
the newspapers during the last 1S
months. Mimeograph copies of an afTi-
davit form, containing allegations to
this effect, have been diligently circu-
lated for several days, and 160 sigma
lures have been secured from men
who have Ruef's interests more or less
at heart. These 160 documents, to-
gether with Ruef's own aff1davits, will
be filed this morning in support of the
motion for a change of venue. It is
claimed that such a degree of public
sentiment has been aroused through
press and pulpit concerning Ruefs
guilt and that the belief in his guilt is
secured in San Francisco.
MOTION HAS NO CHANCE
The effort to secure a change of
venue has been delayed until the jury
to try Ruef was practically complete
and there is not the slightest chance
that the motion will be granted after
the weeks that have already been con-
sumed in impaneling q jury. The mo-
tion will probably be submitted with
out argument and decision rendered
at once although Ruefs attorneys ex-
pect to offer the files OF all the local
papers for the last year and a half
in support of their claims.
