Thousands Praise Gauss.

This is Gauss' Combined Treatment for
Catarrh. The story is told over and over
again a thousand times of the lost birthright
of health restored, of the happiness caused,
of the release from a degrading pestilence
and OF hope and comfort and sleep returned
by the use Of this wonderful, simple Gauss
treatment. 1t must be true. There are
heart-stories from all over the land that bub-

Eminent Doctor
Says Blindness
Due TO Catarrt
(Asgoelated Press Dispatch. }

London, Aug. CDR. II. Manning Fish. OF
Joliet, Ill, declared at the medical congress
that most Of the blindness in the world IS
the result OF catarrh in the upper nasal caVi-
ties or the bony cells composing the roof OF
tho nostrils.
DIR. Fish described his experience in thirty
six cases, covering period of several years
claiming that in each OF these Immediate i'm
provement Of the vision followed the effective
treatment OF the diseased nasal cavities, and
advised that in cases of loss OF vision fol-
lowing grip, measles, scarlet fever and kin
drod ailments relief be sought through treat
ment OF the noses Of the patients.
Catarrh is caused by a germ which must
be destroyed before the catarrh itself can
be cured. II not cured. blindness may re-
suit. An extended history of the many ex-
traordinary cures effected by the Gauss treat
ment will probably be brought TO the atten-
ton Of the next International meeting OF
the medical congress.

sickness or pressure of business. Sew
and as a result the examination was
confined TO three men. G. T. McFee. a
retired laundryman. declared that he
had no opinion as to the guilt or in

would give credence in due proportion
to the testimony of E. A s. Blake.
That element of sympathy which was

Thomas ]. Jordan, the soldier alleged

speedy journey to the gallows yester-
day afternoon when a coroner's jury
returned a verdict charging Jordan
with murder Two eye witnesses gave

soldier
The testimony of the eye witnesses.
Charles Miller and Charles Kirchbaum,
set forth that Noting had been at

gomery and Clay streets. by shot
which Jordan, whose frenzied condition
may be used as a defense had fired at
a fleeing comrade, Charles Nibargar.
Noting asked Jordan who fired the shot
and getting no satisfactory reply COM
manded Jordan to throw up his hands.
The soldier obeyed, but when close to
Noting suddenly lowered his hands
and seizing his revolver placed the
muzzle against the pit of his victims S

reach for his own gun, attempted to
persuade the soldier to give I'D the
revolver, but this Jordan refused to
do. Noting tried to seize the revolver,
but Jordan hurled his victim into the
street. AS Noting rose to his feet he
apparently realized that Jordan would
shoot, for he pleaded with the soldier
for his life, the witness declared
For Gods sake don't kill me- said

Nibargar maintained that Jordan took
the revolver by force but other testi-
nony indicated that Nibargar gave uu
the weapon voluntarily. After bullying
a saloon keeper with the gun Jordan
started to bully his comrades, and when
Nibargar seeing a chance to get away
started to run. Jordan fired the shot

OFFICERS OF ARMY
DO WORK OF NURSE
Small Granddaughter of Secre-
tary Wright Attended on
Transport by Warriors

There may be some things that an
army officer can not do. but playing
nursegirl is not one of them. Any pas
senger on the army transport Sheridan.
which arrived here yesterday, will tell
you that Among the passengers was
Mrs. Charles d. Palmer. who, before
she was married to the manager of
the international banking corporation
at Manila. was Katrina Wright,
( daughter of Luke E Wright. secretary
of war Mrs. Palmer left Manila with
her baby daughter and a nurse, a girl
said to have been imported from the
United Kingdom specially to admin
lister to the needs of little Miss
Palmer.
At Nagasaki the nurse went ashore
and returned to the ship in a state of
inebriation that excited the admiration
Of every warrior on board the Sheridan.
That nurse in that condition
should associate with the grand
daughter of the secretary of war was
out Of the question. Mrs. Palmer is a
loving mother and would have been
delighted to take nurses place, but the
gallant young warriors in khaki and
blue would not allow it. Majors, cap
tains and lieutenants took turns at
toting the secretary's diminutive
granddaughter up and down the
Sheridans deck.
1t was expected that nurse would
be on duty again next day, and there
was keen competition for the privilege
of amusing the child. Next day, how
ever, nurse surprised the ships COM
pany by exhibiting a load of liquid
I fuel not one whit diminished. She had
l provided herself with material at Nag
asaki and reprimed herself at frequent
1 intervals all the way TO Honolulu.
Having undertaken the nursing, the
men could not back out of their bar
gain, and from dawn to dark Miss
Palmer played ride cock horse
rode and strap and eagle decorated
shoulders or slumbered peacefully
against a Khaki blouse.
At Honolulu the nurse went ashore
again and returned with a new brand
1 Of Jag" and some more ammunition.
There was a groan from the warriors,
but little Miss Palmer did not hear it,
and the granddaughter of the secretary
/ of war enjoyed the services for the rest
of the voyage of aides more devoted
and more numerous than military reg
ulations allow her illustrious grand
dad.
we would have done as much for
any baby" said one of the nurses, who
resented the insinuation made by a
navy officer that If Miss Palmer had
been related to Secretary Newberry
she could have had future admirals to
/ joggle away the collie and say goo
1 goo" to her when she smiled.
Another of the maids vagaries was
evidenced when jewels worth $40, 00C
belonging to Mrs. Palmer disappeared
on the transport at Honolulu. The
/ jewels had been in the safe of the
quartermaster, and when Mrs. Palmer
maid appeared and asked for the box
il was given her. She returned it to
/ the safe. Later the box was handed
TO Mrs. Palmer, empty. Mrs. Palmer
was well nigh speechless when the
maid remarked that she knew nothing
about the gems. The lifting Of a
cushion Of setee disclosed them
where the maid had placed them for
safe keeping"

FINDS TWO BROTHERS.
SKELETONS IN FAR NORTH
Member of Prospectors' Party
Makes Startling Discovery

TELEGRAPH CREEK, B. c.. Jan. 13.
A party of prospectors has arrived
here direct from Nahani river, the
north tributary of the Lizard river, 800
miles north of Telegraph Creek. The
party is composed of ]. Morrison, Will
liam Douglas, Dawson miners; C. j..
Young o. B. Moore, Albert and Charlie
Mcleod. They left Edmonton last May.
Charlie Mcleod, who guided the party
through. tells startling story, which
is corroborated by the others of the
party, of the finding of the skeletons
of two men 80 miles up the Nahani
river. He is positive the remains are
those of his two brothers, Frank and
Willie, who left with Robert Weir and
started from Fort Simpson In the fall
of 1904 and went up the Nahani pros
pecting
Mcleod identified his brothers by a
watch, a ring and parts of their cloth
ing. The remains of Weir were not
discovered. He was a stranger to
them, and it is hardly probable that he
could make his way out unaided. 1t
is believed he also is dead
The fact that the Mcleod boys knew
the country well and at this point were
only four days travel from Fort Lizard
leads those who found the remains to
believe that the men were murdered.

PLAN TO ATTRACT MEN
TO TEACHING PROFESSION
Preference in Normal School
Will Be Given to Men

A plan by which it is hoped to at
tract men into the teaching profession
was adopted yesterday at the meeting
of the board of trustees of the San
Francisco state normal school. 1t is
proposed that hereafter in making ap-
pointments to assistantships in the
faculty of the normal school prefer
ence will be given to men who hold
credentials sufficient for a high school
teachers certificate and who have taken
at least six months training in the
elementary department of the normal
school. Such positions would be filed
at $100 a month for one year on the
understanding that at the expiration
of that period the incumbent should go
into the public school service, vacating
his position in the normal, which could
then be filed by another man of the
same type. 1t is the object of the new
policy to train men both in the disci-
plinary management of children and
the supervision of teachers. 1t is ex-
pected that university graduates will
be attracted by the new plan The
resolution by which the policy was
adopted yesterday was unanimously
passed by the following members OF
the board: Chairman S. C. benson.
