omei the no cure no pay remedy fol-
catarrh, asthma, hay fever, Group,
coughs and colds.
"a bad case OF cstarrh was cured
for me by the use of Hyomel. The
trouble affected my head, nose and
eyes, and was very annoying and dis
agreeable, and the cure, from the use
Of Hyomei, was very gratifying. Hy-
omei has from me a strong recon-
mend and endorsement. MFRS. E.

Thousands Of just such letters are
in existence, and thousands more
would be but for the desire to avoid
publicity.

A TRIP no GULF COAST
10 INSTRUCTIVE JOURNEY
What Can Be Seen and How the
Lands Look.

A trip to the Gulf Coast country
of Texas seems to be the popular
thing to do at this season Of the
year, judging from the thousands
that are going there on every excur-
sion day. The writer accompanied
by his wife joined the Stern G Stern
Land Co., of Kansas City, excursion
on Tuesday, March 16 and HE'D away
to Texas, passing through the cities
of Fort Worth and Houston and on
to Galveston where we spent a day
bathing and fishing in the Gulf. From
there we went to Angelton, the coun-
ty seat of Brazorio county. Here we
spent a day inspecting the prairie
lands north of Angelton which are
as fine lands as are to be found in
the world. Wyandt & Woolverton
are their local agents.
Next morning we found ourselves
at Brazorla, a town started in 1880
and the former county seat Of the
county. 1t has a court house built
in 1894 at a cost Of $4,000. Be-
cause of the want of enterprise in
the people and failure to furnish
the necessary accommodation for the
judges, lawyers and clients, the peo-
pie next year voted to change the
county seat to Angleton. Here they
built another court house, the one in
Brazoria is used as school house,
church and printing office-an ex-
pensive luxury.
AT Brazoria the state has farm
of 5000 acres farmed by negro con-
victs. Here they raise corn and sug-
ar cane. Around Brazoria the land
is covered with timber, oak and pecan
largely prevailing. The land is very
fertile and the returns are very sat
isfactory whenever properly farmed.
The county is settling up rapidly
with northern people. Near Bra
by M. E. Zook of Ridge township, the
zoria lies the land recently purchase
Wyandts, C. w. Cans and the Misses
Parent.
From Brazoria we went to Corpus
Christie and Brownsville. At Cor
pus Christie we enjoyed an 80-mile
trip on the bay, taking in Arkansas
Pass, where the government is build
ing a system of jetties out to deep
water. From here we went to Browns
vile and Matamoras. From Corpus
to Brownsville the country is COW
cred with mesquite and cactus and
has had no rain for nearly year. 1t
shows it. R. w.

KENEKO ASSAULT
PRANK OF BOYS
Alleged Attack on Japanese in
Berkeley Is to Be
Dropped

BERKELEY, Jan. S1-President
Wheeler of the University of Califor-
MIA, and the officers of the Berkeley
branch of the Japanese association de-
clared today that in the light of inves-
tigation the attack on KENT Keneko,
a Japanese student, was an occurrence
unworthy of further inquiry. On all
sides the subject has been dropped. H.
S. Mort, secretary of the Japanese as
ISOLATION, said Keneko did not come
to him for protection, and IT. Wasa,
president of the Japatese association,
spoke of the affair the prank of boys
of about 15 years of age.
Keneko has told his employer, Mrs.
Redfeld, that the boys slapped him, but
did not hurt him. The woman said to-
night: 81 am sorry reported the mat
ter to the police. Keneko says the
boys who slapped him were young and
did not hurt him."
The only result of the investigation
was to prove that Keneko encountered
three Berkeley boys, who were not in
any way connected with the university.
Mort said that he had not gone to
President Wheeler with any complaint
about the affair.
President Wheeler said tonight:
After an inquiry, including a talk
with the young Japanese, have ascer-
tained that his assailants, if such they
could be called, were mere boys They
were not university students. Moth
ing further will be done in the case
by the university authorities"

VACCINATION WILL
PREVENT TYPHOID
Military Authorities Will Try to
Persuade Troops to Undergo
Treatment
Disease Is Great Dread of Camps
and Cause of Many
Deaths

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Immuniza-
ton against typhoid fever in army
camps by vaccination is to be under
taken by the military authorities. The
whole matter is frankly to be put be-
fore the army and individuals will be
invited to volunteer for vaccination.
No officer or soldier will be compelled
to submit to anti-typhoid vaccination,
but an effort will be made by lectures
and examples to show the soldier the
advantage of ava.ling himself of such
a simple way of escaping one of the
worst and most dreaded of army camp
diseases
Included in the physicians board
making the recommendation were Drs.
Victor c. Vaughan of Ann Arbor, Will
liam =. Councilman of Boston, John HI.
Musser of Philadelphia, Alexander
Lambert of New York, Simon Flexner
of New York and William S. Thayer of
Baltimore.
A summary of the boards concur
sions, made public today, points out the
we'll known fact that both during the
civil and the Spanish American wars
typhoid fever prevailed to great ex-
tent among the troops. In the last few
years 1900 men have been treated this
way with excellent effect.

BLOOD STAINED GUN
SHELLS ARE FOUND
Police Believe They Have Muir
der CIew and Detain Joseph
Greece
Empty Cartridges Are Sent to
the Chemist for His
Analysis
I Special Dispatch 10 The CALI

SAN JOSE, Jan. 31.-In order to de-
termine whether or not the bloodstains
found upon an empty II gauge shot
gun she'll are drops from the veins
of a human being Chief of Police
Haley has sent the shell found yester-
day in the possession of Joseph Greece,
an Italian who resides in the vicinity
of the store in which grocer William
l.. Thurston was killed, to San
Francisco chemist for analysis.
Greece was detained at the police
station for several hours yesterday
and closely questioned. Two shot
guns, one a singel and one double bar
rel, are being held by the police. The
man claims he killed a jackrabbit
about two weeks ago and that some
of the blood from the animal dripped
on the shell. The shell is of Win
chester make and was loaded by the
Selby company. The faculty of Santa
Clara college did not wish to make the
analysis.
Greece was well acquainted with the
murdered man and often frequented
the corner grocery store.
The police have abandoned the old
SLOUGH hat clew and now believe that
the dilapidated headgear was placed
outside the scene of the crime in order
to leave the impression that it blew
off the head of the murderer.

NEW fight AGAINST
ISLAIS CREEK PLAN
Ship Owners Take Legislators in
Launch to Strengthen Argu=
ments Against Scheme

Although the Ship Owners associa-
ton has proclaimed publicly that it
has abandoned the fight against the
development of the harbor at Islais
creek, it has, nevertheless, begun a
new campaign against the project The
first move was made yesterday, when
two members of the legislature, as the
guests of the association, were taken
down the bay on a launch and given
the full measure of the organizations
arguments The two legislators were
Senator Miguel Estudillo and Assem-
blyman Percy Johnson, both Of River
side They came down from Sacra-
mento Saturday night, were taken on
the bay excursion yesterday and re-
turned last night to the capital.
The use of the launch in politics is
somewhat new, but the hospitality of
the association knows no restrictions.
The legislators wanted to see the water
front and the Ship Owners association
has plenty of launches. The associa-
ton announced Thursday that it had
decided to take its stand with the
chamber of commerce. and the Mer-
chants association and the Merchants
exchange and give its support to the
6S block plan. The decision of the
organization was accepted subject to
certain TeSeINdllOuS, anu II IlOW dppcdlS
that the announcement may have served
to clear. the way for a new and active
campaign.
The fact remains that Assemblyman
Johnson and Senator Estudillo were
Joined on the water front yesterday by
H L. Stoddard, secretary of the Ship
Owners association, and the three set
out in a, launch to view the sights
down the. bay. Slowly the launch
meandered down the bay and finally
came to a halt off India basin, where
the proposed improvements are planned.
1t was some time later that the launch
returned up the bay and its occu-
pants disembarked.
Stoddard said last night that the
Ship Owners association had nothing
TO do with the launch ride. He said
that as a matter of courtesy he had
personally undertaken to show the
members of the Legislature the water
front.
