three-speed transmission of the Selec
tive type is used, which is built strong
enough to stand any work which II
may be subjected to. The rear axle
is of the semi-foating type, which is
giving such universal satisfaction and
is being so generally used by the mod
ern, up-to-date builders. The body is
very handsomely made panel type
of manufacture, which is perfectly de.
signed for all requirements. The
whole machine in itself is one of the
most stylish commercial vehicles which
has ever been turned out. The lines
of the car are similar to the touring
car, with the engine under the hood
and the transmission and differential
on the rear axle, being driven by Il
shaft. The body being enclosed, keeps
the contents dry, and this makes the
car very adaptable to mail or parcel
service, Other uses for which the de.
livery wagon is especially adapted are
for bakery, grocery, butcher, laundry
and, in fact, any delivery service
whatsoever, The tires of the car are
of the heav 33x4 pneumatic tyre,
which insures ease of riding, quick
ness of action, and long life to the
bearings all over the car.
All of the delivery wagons udder
three-ton capacity which The Won
Hamm-Young Company represent, are
equipped with pneumatic tires, owing
to their superiority over solid tires,
In the FIRST place, they are a great
deal cheaper to buy and operate, AMI
in the second place, they do not take
as long to change as do the solid
tires thirdly, they hold the car to the
road much better than the solid tires
and do not skid near so much Any
driver can change pneumatic tire IN
a very few minutes, while with the
solid tire the story is entirely differ

expert, from two to four hours to

THE HEIR TO FRANCIS JOSEPRS THRONE

Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir
to the crown of Austria-Hungary,
worn so long by Emperor Francis Jo-
seph, will not be "do nothing" en-
peror-king, Persons qualified to judge
of his personality and abilities have
asserted their belief that he will rule
his dual monarchy firmly, with him
self as the real prime minister of the
realm, no matter who holds the port
folio as the nominal head of the cabi-
net He will not only reign, but rule,
say these observers, for it is not in
the man to be content with the empty
glories of the crown.
The case of Francis Ferdinand pre-
sents one of the most striking Of re-
cent instances of alteration in the
worlds estimate of a man. Reference
to the newspaper files of dozen or
more years ago show that in the early
years of his manhood Francis Ferdi-
nand was not highly esteemed He
was called a scapegoat, a spendthrift,
a roue and about everything else that
is discreditable. Then came a period Of
laudation, due to his firmness in stick
ing to his decision to marry the non
royal woman whom he loves. Now
opinion, with good cause, has settled
down to basis of just estimate of the
prince, not CLOSING over his faults or
attempting to conceal them, but laying
stress on his firmness of character,
his ability and his determination to be
q real ruler of his turbulent empire.
His personality is ENJOYABLE, but
strong He unites with firm belief
in divine right an equally firm dlsdain
for blood not mingled with brain es-
sense. An aristocrat of aristocrats,
due to his Hapsburg ancestry, which
is the proudest in Europe, he has
made it the rule in Austro- Hungarian
naval military and civil administra-
ton that efficiency shall be the test
of holding and retaining Office. Before
his active participation in the admins
tration of his empire, aristocracy, with
no qualification of fitness, was the
sole condition Of admission to high
place.
If there is room in the world for two
eminent Germanic monarchs, Kaiser
Wilhelm of Germany and Kaiser Franz
Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary will DE
the two. If there should be room for
but one, with Francis Ferdinand and
William or Will ans successor com
ing into conflict, there are those who
say that Francis Ferdinand will De
the one. He has the imperious, self
centered stubborn mind that will
brook no rival. He does not like the
Hohenzollerns particularly, has no af-
finity with Great Britain or Russia
and hates Italy. 1t is generally under
stood now that he was the impelling

marriage is marriage or it isn't. So
Sophie has a right to the crown of
Hungary, but not to that of the dual
empire. But the pragmatic sanction
which united Austria and Hungary
away back in the days of Maria Their
esa declared that the cwo crowns
must be worn by the same person.
Francis Ferdinand is not popular in
any part of the much mixed dual mon
archy, save perhaps in Bohemia, which
is pleased by the fact that his NOR

One thing stands out prominently in
the character of Francis Ferdinand.
That is his devotion to the Roman
Catholic church and it's head. The
long standing differences between the
Italian government and the Vatican
furnish sufficient reason for his hatred
for Italy, but another is found in Fran

sToRK DELAYS MEALS
AT THE ST. FRANCIS

San Francisco Chronicle, January
12.-Dinner guests at the st. Francis
Hotel last night wondered why the
meals they had ordered were not
brought to them promptly, Even the
tip in advance was not sufficiently
persuasive to have the dinner deliv-
cred in the ordinary double-quick
time. Guests who ordered roasts,
game and other meats waited long
ingly for the toothsUme duck or the
Juicy tenderloin to be placed before
them, but all in vain.
The stork had taken part in the
game and delivered unto three of the
employees of the culinary department
each bouncing baby boy, Three
fathers felt compelled to stop work
and celebrate. Robert Zahler, roast
chief; Joe Meyers, chief meat cutter,
and Adolph Gasser. buffet chef, were
not working on account of the stork' S
visit. Victor Hirtzler chef, tore his
hair and went out into the highways
and byways or other places where
chefs are found and secured three
substitutes to go over the dinner hour
The cafe was delayed in opening and

MEETS WITH AWFUL
DEATH IN MARIN COUNTY

! SAN ANSELMO. Cal, January IL
John A. Jacobson of San Francisco
while at work in the powerhouse Of
the Northwestern Pacific Railway
Company here at noon today, was
burned from head to feet by the inn
pact of $4,000 volts of electricity from
high potential wire and lived but q
few hours.
Jacobson was frightfully injured,
the electricity passing through his
body, soaring the skin completely and
so burning the left leg that amputa-
ton would have been necessary had
the patient lived. AS it was, physi-
clans consider the case remarkable in
asmuch as Jacobson did not die in
stantly.
Jacobson was working on a crane
by which dynamos are moved at the
powerhouse, when his uncovered head
came in contact with the high poten-
tial wire that carries the current OF
electricity to the third rail- system
of Marin county. He shrieked and fell
writhing to the floor, his clothing on
fire. Fellow workmen rushed to his
aid, beating out the flames.
Jacobson was an employe of the
Frederick Shaur Construction Com
pany of San Francisco, which is under
contract with the Northwestern Pa
cihc Railroad to do certain work It

working girls friend, and all women who

St., Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
When a remedy has lived for over
thirty years, steadily growing in popu-
larity and influence, and thousands upon
thousands of women declare they owe
their very lives to it, is it not reasonable
to believe that it is an article of great
merit?
We challenge anyone to show any
other one remedy for a special class Of
disease which has attained such an enor-
nous demand and maintained it for so
many years as has Lydia E. Pinkham's

changed to pneumatics and have given
far greater service. One thing has
been very noticeable since the
change, and that is the fact that the
engine bearings required renewing
about every two months when the
solid tires were used, and since the
change to pneumatic tires there have
been absolutely no bearings renewed.
Renewing engine bearings on a truck
is very expensive and lays the ma
chine up for about a week, and the
company considers this a very marked
feature favorable to the pneumatic
tires. Only one condition is necessary
to secure long service on a truck
equipped with pneumatic tires, and
that is to have plenty of air pressure
in the tires. AS a rule, people do not
blow them up hard enough and they
do not last on that account. All the
pneumatic tire manufacturers lay
great stress on the amount of air
which is required for the different
sizes of tires, and the common public
do not pay enough attention to these
instructions. If more care were taken
of the ordinary automobile tire Il
would last twice as long.
The Overland truck is on exhibition
at the large salesroom of the Won

rangements can be made for demon

Fargo.-North Dakota has been ex-
periencing some more rainy weather.
More than two inches of rain fell over
the Red River valley and still more
is looked for. Harvesting and thresh-
ing operations will probably not be
resumed this week. Meanwhile,
thousands of men in all sections of
the state are idle.
The storm conditions prevailed
throughout North Dakota, tempera-
lures dropped and hail was reported
in several places. The storm, accom-
panied by heavy rains and, in some
sections. by hail, struck the slope"

weather. in the northwestern corner
of the state. heavy hail was reported
and considerable damage was done.
Running south and east, the storm
swept the state. High wind and con-
siderable hail accompanied the storm
in the western part of the state. All
telephone and some telegraph wires
were down and for a time it was i'm.
possible to obtain accurate informa-
ton concerning the extent Of the dam
age. Hail was reported at Comstock,
Minn., 20 miles south of here. The
damage is confined to small terri
tory.
General crop conditions in the Red
River valley have been improved by
the downponr of rain, crop experts
say. Potatoes and corn needed mois-
ture badly.
The statewide situation has not
been improved by the rain, however,
for the acreage OF potatoes the state
over is exceedingly small. Only very
limited amount of spring wheat has
been harvested. Considerable barley
is in shock. as well as rye. The rains
have been so heavy it is feared the

The Fargo young man who has

Gated In the crime was taken to the
police station and given a rigid crosse

was within block Of the scene Of
the murder when the crime was COM
mitted. He heard the shot and the
excitement which followed, say the
authorities, and ran to the scene Of
the crime, arriving there moment
after the police.
To further substantiate the story
told by the young man, States At

ed that two Aneta, N. D., girls. whom
Hanson took to the state fair two
weeks ago. come to the city. They
will tell the authorities whether Han

Witnesses were found Tuesday who
said Hanson did not have a quarrel
with two men at the fair. The Aneta

Having abandoned the theory that
revenge was the motive for Hanson's
murder. the authorities have returned
to the conclusion that robbery was
probably the motive. Before he died
Hanson was unable to say who he
thought attacked him. Authorities
say that If revenge had been the mo-
tive Hanson would have been able to
tell who attacked him.
