It Is Not Because

Hoods Sarsaparilla contains
sarsaparilla, simply, but be-.
cause it is composed of more
than twenty great specifics,
so combined and proportion
ed as to be raised to their
highest efficiency, that it
effects its wonderful, radical
and permanent cures.
These are the very specifics that sue
cessful physicians prescribe for diseases
of the blood, stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels, and for low or rundown
condition of the system but they are
not all found in any other medicine.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is Peculiar to
ITSELF" and this is why there is no real
substitute for it. There is no "iuss-as-
good y medicine. It's cures of scrofula,
eczema, eruptions, catarrh, rheuma-
tism, anemia, nervousness, that tired
feeling, dyspepsia, loss of appetite and
general debility, are in many instances
so remarkable as % surprise physicians,
nurses, patients and all others having
knowledge of them.
If urged to buy any preparation said
to be 'iust as good" you may be

Removed From Hotel
Goodwin was not kept long at the
Hotel LansdaIe. after DE-. Potts ceased
paying his visits there, but was re-
moved to rooms at 7SS Turk street.
Two rooms were engaged by Dandy and
O'Loane.
The men," said Mrs. Esta Code; the
'iandlady, told me they wanted two
rooms. one a rear room for a sick
friend. I came to terms with them and
they moved In. When they took the
rooms they explained to me that Good
win was the sick man of whom they
had spoken and placed him in the rear
room The front room was occupied by
O'Loane and his wife They first asked
me not to allow Goodwin to leave his
room at any time. ]. ef course. would
not. agree TO any such proposition I
did not want to interfere in their. af-
fairs and had no Intention of prevent
ing any one from. coming or going as
they pleased. They then pleaded with
me not. to give Goodwin. a key and to
shut the door and lock him in. again
objected. but finally consented not to
give him key OF what they. did in
that room 1 have little knowledge
From what could gather. Mrs. O'Loane
acted as nurse to Goodwin"
Mrs. O'Loane's story to. the police
threw little light on the plotting. Sac
said that she acted as nurse to Good
win and gave him much OF the whisky.
Il did not want to give him any"
she said. but he was always calling
for it. and as Dandy and my husband
said it would not harm him 1 let him
have it"
Unfortunately for herself, much of
the liquor that was intended for Good
win she drank herself. with the result
that a few days saw her suffering
from alcoholism. Prior to this. how
ever, she said, Dandy and her husband
would be closeted with Goodwin for
hours at a time. What they did then
she said she did not know.
Woman Grows HystericaI
Questioning by the detectives
brought out no other statements.
Il thought my husband and Good
win were partners in some mining
scheme" said she. Later she burst
into tears and asked If Goodwin was
dead. The woman became hysterical
at this stage and the questioning was
postponed until a more propitious mo-
ment In the meantime she will be
kept a prisoner at the city Jail.
Goodwin said that his mining proper
ties consisted of a e-fourteenth share
in the Modesto gold mining and devel-
oping company, mining claims near the
Quinn river, Humboldt county, Nevada,
from which he derives an income OF
$4,000 a year. and mining claims and
real estate in the locality of Silver City
and winnemucca, New. He estimated
his property as between $4,000 and
$4,000. When questioned about sign
ing the powers of attorney and other
legal papers he said he had recoilec-
tion of having done SO, but that he was
very intoxicated at the time

Signature Nearly HIegibIe

The striking feature of the legal
documents which fell into the hands
of the police was the signature of
Goodwin. 1t was hardly decipherable

thereby tending to corroborate his
statement that he hadsigned the papers
while he was under the influence of
liquor There were two powers of at
torney drawn UP by which o'Loane OBJ
tanned control of Goodwins estate, al
lowing him to sign checks and transact
all business for him. They were both
made out and sworn to before Notary
]. ]. Kerrigan February 20. In one OF
the documents Goodwin appointed
O'Loane his executor in case of death,
the witness being Dandy.
Though Goodwin has no definite idea
cashed in his name he made rough
calculation and inquired out that he had
been swindled out of about $4,000 by
the pair. He made the statement to
DR.. Potts.
'srhey have done me up pretty WELL
said he; IT wish 1 had taken your ad-
vice. DOCTOR"
Prior to the fire O'Loane ran a small
saloon In Geary street. but following
the disaster he removed to Nevada and
nothing was heard of him here until
his connections with Goodwin were
made public.
DIR. Howard, who first gave the tale
OF the scheming to the police, saying
that he had been asked by Dandy and
O'Loane to give them a medical certifi-
cate covering Goodwin's death, had no
new information on the matter.
Il learned today said he, that
Doctor Potts had been called in to at
tend Goodwin before I was, and had
managed to get him sober. In con-
versing with him I find that his obser-
vations Of the case were the same as
mine--that deliberate effort was be-
ing made to keep Goodwin intoxicated"

said.

Goodwin's story to the police met

Gold and Brown.

One of the combinations coming in
to first style for indoor gowns is
bronze satin. 1t is used for an en-
p1re skirt that reaches to the bust. and
above this is bodice of bronze Sc
gums mixed with gold thread, run OF,
brown net
The bodice is made in the usual
way out of bands going around the fig
ure and over the arms. The only touch
OF any other color is a bit of white
tulle at the neck and sleeves.
This combination is adopted for
elaborate low-necked frocks worn for
special occasions. AS a rule brown is
not considered among the evening col
ors, but this coppery bronze tone
shows of the heavy bullion trimming
In an effective manner, and lights up

ANOTHER NOVELTY IN scARFs.
Fluffy Accessories Are Just Now High
in Favor.

1t seems as though there will never
be an end to the novelties in scarfs
and motor wells that are being intro
duced almost every day, all of which
goes to prove that soft, delicately col
ored scaIfs and wide chiffon and net
motor wells, if anything, increase in
popularity with each successive week
Most attractive are the newest chit
fon scarfs and extremely easy are they
or home manufacture, always a con-
sideration for the woman who would
be accorded the title of well dressed
on an income distressingly small
Formed of chiffon or heavy net, the
ends of the scarf are caught, or, more
strictly speaking, gathered in and fin
ished off with short tassel or fringe
Of coarse sewing silk. The scarf may
also be gathered In slightly in the cen
ter and a tassel attached at one end,
so that when thrown over the shout
ders the scarf makes an attractive bit
OF drapery on the back of the dress,
as well as adding to the charm of the
front of the gown.
In the soft shades Of pink, blue,
mauve, green and, in fact, in all the
light pastel colorings, these scarfs are
exquisitely pretty, and they are per-
haps especially charming made up in
the shaded chiffons which are now to
be had designed especially for yelling
for the large motor hats now in vogue
An old scarf of crepe de chine or
chiffon can be quite rejuvenated by a
bath in naphtha or thorough wash
ing in luke warm water and ivory
soapsuds, and then after being careful

ton of silk tassels at the ends and in
the center.

KNEW THE PIGS WEAK POINT.
Youngster Was Confident of His
Ability to "Stump" Him.

1t is an interesting fact that the two
studies Of arithmetic and geography
seem to be Numerically opposed to
each other in the affections of school
children. Pupils who are particularly
proficient in one are apt to be back
ward in the other A story is told Of
a little boy who was slow in arithme-
tic, and whose apparent stupidity in
this field was a great source of grief
to his, father, who had been a mathe-
matician.
One day, when the father and son
were walking out, they passed a place
where a learned pig" was on exhibi-
ton, and the father took the boy to
see this porcine prodigy.

LAME BACK PRESCRIPTION


The increased use of 'Toris" for
lame back and rheumatism is causing
considerable discussion among the
medical fraternity. 1t is an almost in
fallible cure when mixed with GER
tain other ingredients and taken prop
erly. The following formula is effec-
tive: ITO one-half pint of good
whiskey add one ounce of Toris Com
pound and one ounce Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla Compound. Take in tablespoon
full doses before each meal and be-
fore retiring"
Toris compound Is a product of the
laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceu-
teal Co., Chicago, but it as well as the
other ingredients can be had from any
good druggist.

THE MATTER OF WELLS.
Detail of the Costume That Is of I'M
mense Importance.

Nothing can more easily make or
mar ones appearance than a veil. If
1t is put on in wrinkles, it conveys
Immediately the impression of a wrin-
kled skin, and adds years to the fair
race. Ii a woman has a naturally
heaVy jaw, she must resist the tempta-
uon OF the border wells, and the man
it could never have been a woman
who invented green wells ought to be
imprisoned. Brown wells are universal
ly becoming, and the veritable ava
lanches of lace that now fall from the
fashionable hats can be manipulated
by clever fingers into any effect what
ever! The safest of all is the clear
mesh with moderately large chenille
spots. To fix it to the hat, always pin
1t in front first to the brim, then pin
the two top edges together at the
back of the crown. The ends are then
gathered into knot, so that the lace
lies quite smoothly across the face.
The greatest care should be taken
with the back of the veil, which must
meet as nearly as possible over the
back of the hair, and do not let the
lower edge fall below the chin. Twist
ing 1t into knot under the chin is
abominable. When the veil is removed
from the hat it should be rolled over
a cardboard roll easily made for the
purpose. An invariable law should be
that the veil must match either the
hat or the trimming. The old rose
and the deep red shades in veiline,
give an attractive glow to pale cheeks.
