that he was in a condition to hold our

Sheridan and his corps commanders
conferred a few minutes longer, and
Sheridan, Wright and Emery then
mounted their horses and started off,
but before going far Sheridan reined
his horse about and said to Gen. Crook:
Now, General, when the order comes
for you to attack / want every man and
every mans man to go in with a yell
and give them your very best"
Shortly after that a brigade from
our left moved by US to our right, and
a little later a brigade from our right
passed to our left For what reason

1t was to inspire the men of each end
of the line with the thought that they
were being reinforced.

Gen. Sheridan, began soIne time he

| most of the remainder OF the day. The
fighting commenced on the right of our
army, and extended to the left till the
whole line was engaged. Gen. Crook s
Corps did not become engaged till near
ly o'clock, so that the final charge
upon the rebels was as late as that, If
not later; but ii sent Gen. Early and
his scattered battalions whiriing up the

spurring them along briskly. ] well
remember the report, by word of

Sheridan the next morning. 1t was in
substance: General, we fought them
as long as they would fight, and ran
them till they scattered, took 5000 pris-
oners, so pieces of artillery and as
many caissons. 10, 600 smail-arms, 1000
horses and mules and a whole hell's
mint of wagons" The exact number IN
figures intended by Custer is a little

ran it well up toward the thousand.

SEES COMET WITH
SMALL TELESCOPE
Chabot Observatory Astrono-
mer Studies Celestial Wan
derer for First Time


OAKLAND, Dec. 12.-Prof. Charles
Burckhalter, astronomer at the Chabot
observatory, Eleventh and Jefferson
streets. observed Halley's comet for
half an hour last night through the
Chabot telescope. He caught sight of
the celestial wanderer at 7:15 o'clock
and gazed at the phenomenon until the
sea fogs obscured his view.
"The comet will be visible from here
until way next spring" said the as
tronomer.
Its general position is little south
of a line drawn from the Pleiades to the
Hyades. 1t has been visible to large
telescopes for some time, and [ tried
to catch the comet two weeks ago, just
after the last moon, but the skies were
not clear enough. All that is required
for sight of the comet now is favor
able atmospheric conditions. The posi-
ton of the comet will be relatively un-
changed to the earth for some time.
Last night was an exceptionally pro-
pitious moment TO seek the comet My
vision of it was so distinct that / mar
rowed the aperture of the telescope
down to FIVE inches and studied the
comet closely. 1t was my first glimpse
of Halley's comet and / gained a fair
general estimate of it's characteristics.
This is the first time to my knowledge
since the comet became visible that it
has been located with a small telescope.
1t can be easily distinguished with the
larger telescopes. The chief thing is
the size of the aperture.
tAs soon as the weather clears [ will
throw the observatory open and give
public observations of the comet each
evening until the moon becomes full"

Southern Pacific Company has
Large Gang Engaged on

ALAMEDA, Dec. 12.-Rapid progress
is being made by the Southern Pacific
company in replacing and increasing
the distance between it's double tracks
in Lincoln avenue. which viii be a
part of the new electric system of the
corporation. Today construction gang
of more than 100 men tore up the
tracks in Lincoln avenue between Oak
and Park streets and replaced them
with new ties. rails and balIasting.
This portion of the line passes
through the Park street Chinatown and
the moving of the south side track
one foot nearer the southern line of
Lincoln avenue will bring the south
side of the trains almost flush with
the fronts of several of the buildings
on the south side. Some of the resi-
dents were of the opinion that the
railroad company was stealing march
on the property owners and laying
the track on private property.
Street Superintendent V. NJ. Frodden
said that the railroad had the right TO
move its track closer to the southern
line of Lincoln avenue and that the
company was not trespassing- The
placing of the center. poles in Lincoln
avenue that are to carry the crossarms
from which will be suspended two troll
ley lines will be started soon.

spoonful of salt and a quarter tea
spoonful of borax dissolved in a pint
of warm water. Snuff this mixture
through the nostrils twice daily and
immediate relief is experienced To

matism are both due to accumulated
poisons in the system. These poi
sons must be eliminated.

resume their functions quickly and
properly:

RETAIL TRUSTS TO BLAME
FOR HIGH PRICES OF FOOD
Insurgent Republicans and DEM
ocrats Will Demand Inquiry
TSoecioI Dispotch to The Call

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-InsurSent
republican senators and representa-
tives, in cooperation with the demo-
Gratis, are planning to make the cost of
living an issue in congress this winter.
Their opinion is that the subject can not
be brushed aside so lightly as was done
by President Taft in his annual mes
sage. Resolutions will be introduced
in both houses directing:
First-That the bureau of corpora
tions prepare a thorough report upon
the extent to which trusts have affect
ed the retail prices OF ordinary food in
the principal American cities.
Second-That the conditions in
Washington be made the subject of an
inquiry, with a view to prosecuting
local food trusts under the anti trust
law.
Commodity prices, according to fig
ures now two years old. which were
compiled by the bureau of satisfies,
increased 66 per cent in Is years.
Wages had advanced not more than
half that rate. Not a single important
article of domestic consumption is out
side the control of trust which holds
prices at high level. A large increase
has been recorded in the last two years,
and grocers, bakers. commissioner,
coal dealers and milkmen have their
combinations
