Epilepsy,
Fits

INV son was cured of very
bad case of epilepsy with LIZ
Miles Nervine."
MRS. D. BAKER, Cleveland, y.
"My little daughter who was
afflicted with St. Vitus' Dance
is now entirely we'll after taking
DR.. Miles Nervine only four
months"
MRS. C. G. BENNETT,
Alma, Mich.
Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it IS
reasonable to conclude that it IS
almost sure toscure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in a complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
manv times the cost Of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.

Tom Williams.

Mr. Williams has hard job. His
beat is on the outskirts of the city,
and It's said that he has a natural
propensity for ferreting out negro
crap games. At any rate, he has been
the means of putting many dollars
il the city treasury as a result of his
watchfulness and he is not favorite
with evil doers.

r. C. DuckWorth.

Officer Duckworth is the largest
man on the force, and like all big
men he has smile for everybody. He
is polite and courteous to all and ever
willing to give information to the
stranger. He has a watchful eye and
but little escapes his notice. 1t is
said, however, that he carries his gun
in his pocket instead of on the out
side.

ion. He is one of the most efficient Of
ficers on the force.
Tom Moore.

Tom is probably the smallest man
on the force but what he lacks in
stature he makes up in grit and per
sistence. The darksys say "Mr. Taum
Moore sho's ia good jedge O. BOOZE"
Fact is, Tom can see booze wagon a
mile off, recognize the driver, know
where he is going, tell how many cases
of wet goods he has on the wagon,
know the number of bottles In the
cases and tell the brand of goods they
contain. He is death and destruction
to the liquor traffic, and a terror to
evil dosrs.

Barney Doherty.

Possibly the oldest man in point OF
service is Barney Doherty, a genuine
"old-timer." Barney knows every
dive and resort in the city, together
with those by whom they are inhab,
tied. He can come as near running
down a criminal without clew upon
which to work as the average Scot
land Yard detective. He is person
ally known to nearly every man, wo-
man and child in the city, and the
only thing against him is that he
carries concealed weapons.

Mr.. Norwood is a natural sleuth.

crap shooters and the bone rollers

A. A. Ethridge, commonly and fit

splendid officer and looks well after
his beat.

stitute shot and killed Lieutenant Col

and DR.. Canvas Lalcaca. was today
found guilty and sentenced to death
at the conclusion of a trial of less than
an hours duration.
During the recital OF the occurrences
at the Imperial institute on the night
of the tragedy the prisoner sat in the
dock listening unconcernedly and only
once broke his silence by saying:
Whatever I did was an act of pa
triotism."
AS the lord chief Justice concluded
in pronouncing sentence the prisoner
drew himself up in military style and
saluted. He said:
II thank you, my lord. I am proud to
have the honor of laying down my
humble life for my country. Your SEN
tence of death is perfectly illegal You
are all powerful and can do what YOU
like; but remember, We will have the
power some time. That is all 1 have to
say

BOY WI HIPS NAN
IN PUBLIC PLACE
Young Julian Brandon Thrashes Annoyer of
Family While Father Looks On

Because his fathers size. dignity and
great strength barred him from thrash
ing Harold Symes.aa jeweIer, % years
old. whom they accused of annoying
their family. young Julian Brandon, the
Is year old son, considerably took the
job off his sire's hands and proceeded
to uphold the household honor yes
terday by lighting Kymes to a stand
still. at the entrance of the Mutual
bank building Prof Julian Brandon,
the father. member of one of the
Oldest families in San Francisco. and
a noted athlete, stood near by with a
grin Of paternal delight overspread-
ing his features. 1t was only when
kymes was in danger of being injured
that he stepped in and shook his bat
Ting. bleeding progeny off.
Kymes claimed he was brntally at
tackled by the two for no reason that
he could discover. He declared he
would put the matter into the hands
OF attorneys and sue for damages.
CAUSE OF THE QUARREL
The quarrel is of long standing. Ac-
cording to Professor Brandon it started
more than year ago and came TO a
climax six months later. when Kymes
was forbidden to visit the Brandon
home, 20@S California street.
7 did not want the young man
around my family, and I told him So"
Brandon said in explaining the fracas.
Instead of complying with my request
he has continued to telephone up at
various times until [ lost all patience
night he telephoned the
house, and this morning while 1 was
down town with my boy we accidentally
ran across him. I called Kymes TO
one side, and again insisted that he
have nothing further to do with any
member of my family and to cease
from telephoning to my residence"
An alteration, it seems followed,
both the men becoming emphatic and
pointed in their statements
I'm too big man to thrash YOU"
said Brandon, ''and if it wasn't for that
you'd get the biggest trouncing you
ever received in your life."
The San Francisco call., 1909-07-24

Here the boy stepped in. You're too
big, dad" chirped in the youngster,
but I'm not too small"
Before Brandon pere had recovered
from his surprise, his son, a head
smaller than Kymes, had thrown UP
his guard and was lashing out right
and left. The boy, a wiry little
chap, nimble as cat and bearing in
mind the. boxing instructions coached
into his youthful system by his ath-
letic dad. waltzed around Kymes at
will. He backed the latter through the
entrance and the two went at it ham,
,mer and tongs.
Brandon, after his first shock of sur
prise, broke into a fit of laughing and
then walked over to his son. caught him
by the scruff of the neck and tore
him from his opponent
The fight was between Kymes and
myself" said young Brandon. He's
been a nuisance around the house. My
father couldn't hit fellow like him.
Dad is too big and too strong. The
trouble has been going on for a long
time, and had TO come to a fight some
day; so 1 thought the best thing to do
was to jump in and finish the busi-
ness right on the spot"
VERSION OF kYMfeS
Kymes told a different story Pro
fessor Brandon objected to my visiting
his house. he said, "and l stopped go
ing there. 1 have not seen nor talked
with any one of the family for six
months. AS l was going to work
this morning these two, the father

RAND[LL OF TEXAS
WOULD STOP GIFTS
Says Congressman Are Receiv-
ing Presents From "Spe-
cial interests"
Demands Law to Prevent Cor
porations From Influencing
Legislation

WASHINGTON, July 23.-openly
charging that congress and the
courts" had received and were receiv-
ing valuable gifts, employment or
compensation from public service cor
porations, trusts and persons aged
in interstate commerce or having an
interest in legislation. Randall of Tex
as, in the house today presented reso-
luton directing the speaker immedi-
ately to appoint the judiciary commit
tee in order that it may consider the
question of amending the law so as
to prohibit such conduct The reso-
luton was voted down.
Randell declared the opponents of
such legislation had not only succeed
ed in preventing the passage of law
of that character, but even suppressed
discussion of such measures on the
floor of the house.
Looking the facts squarely in the
face" he said, 1.-The conclusion forced
upon us causes a blush to mantle the
cheek of every patriot and self-respect-
ing man..
He declared the benefciaries of spe-
cial interests ''intrenched in power and
firmly combined with the dominant po-
litical party" openlA derided the Amer
lean people and brWally demanded the
pound of flesh. Should the committee
be appointed, he said there should be
passed g law which would "sever the
connection of the servants of the peo-
pie from the interests that now con-
troll u.s."
An uproar was caused in the house
today when Macon (Ark), reyerting to
his colloquy last Monday with Rucker
(Colo). charged that the Colorado
member had inserted in the Congress
sional Record certain references to him
which had not been uttered.
Not only had this been done, he said,
but insult had been added to injury
by placing brackets at the end of the
remarks Great applause" He wanted
it all stricken out, especially the great
applause
This was ordered done, after Rucker
had explained that ne actually made
the statement on the floor and insist
ed that there was applause. The speak
er declared the motion to strike out
carried, although he failed to take the
negative vote.
