A Good Rule. Phoenix, A. 'T., has an ordinance requiring all teachers in public schools to be examined to ascertain if they are afflicted with tuberculosis. On the 12th inst. enforcement of the rule resulted in the retirement of two teachers. They were greatly surprised to learn that the seeds of the deadly disease in their system# were about to develop into consumption. The Arizona rule is a copy of that now enforced in Chicago. It isa rule that should be every where applied. If the presence of a comsumptive in places. of assembly of the people is dangerous to them, how much more so is the presence of a teacher afflicted with tuberculosis inimical to the lives of the children with whom they are confined day by day in schoolrooms? eee t A Broken Buggy. This morning as Dr. Tickell was in Kinkead’s furniture store ordering a special bed prepared for Mrs. H. W. Valentine who had her hip broken yesterday, a spring mattress standing on its edge on the sidewalk toppled toward the Doctor’s horse which was tied in front of the store. The startled} animal broke from its fastenings, plunged into a pile of packing boxes, next collided with Grissel Brothers’ delivery wagon, then ran to Lane’s atable and entered it. The buggy was badly broken. Anti-Treating Law. The central-committees of the Democratic and Republican parties in Siskiyou county, have had the following notice in poster form printed and circulated all over the county: By the purity of election law all can@idates for office are absolutely prohibited from “treating,” and also from cures cmat persons to “treat” for them, or from speene pate gga or Pan directly; any money for such purp under Se penatty of-forfeitingthe offive-to which they may be elected, as well as being found guilty of misdemeanor. pecs a ter amcor aRReTN How’s This? , We offer One Hundred Dollars Rewa rd for any case of Catarrh that gan not be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure, F.

Althongh we were quite fatigued from our. fivemile march, we still had plenty of sand left. We now felt as though the end had come and all would be quiet.

We have had just enough fighting to give us an idea of what a waris. We walked into Manila so easy that it pains me to tell you of the little fight our Ist regiment. had. Old Dewey did the work and we had the fun. When we left our camp with 200 rounds of ammunition and two days’ rations, we expected to face a body of men who would -give-us-a-serap. We were equipped on light marching orders, which consists of haversack, cauteen, belt, Hecho mp B stood there telling our different experiences of the day, a mass of bullets eame whizzing through the air from the rear. The Spanish thinking it was some of our troops firing at them commenced to return the fire. Imagine us fellows there in front of a.body of men whose number outnumbered ours many times over. We were between two fires and in the open. Thank goodness every one of our boys obeyed their command, which was: “/Jon’t return the fire!” Had we done so there wouldn’t have been one of us left to tell thé story. ; ; Our company (Co. B) is the color company and we have good cause to boast of our color sergeant. When bullets were coming the thickest he bore the flag to where the insurgents
were doing the firing in the rear. They were commencing to come in, and not knowing that Manila had surrendered, were firing on the breastworks. When they saw our flag they quit firing. After all was quiet we prepared to care for our wounded, Our company had one killed and three wounded. While standing in line ready to march to came whizzing by, and after going through a fellow’s hand, loiged in his baversack and set off one of his shells. His sack commenced to burn, so I jerked it off of him and bandaged his hand the best I could. oR cae mee Los Anczes, Cul./ Sept. 16, 1898. J. 'W. Morris, Esq., box 177, Los Angeles City: On Tuesday, November 7, 1876, I first commenced to speak my sentiments about the Southerh Pucific Company, contending that it had no right to go outside its legitimate sphere and embark upon political enterprises. If you will run back, you will see that is over one-fifth of a century ago. The is to be found im the Los Angeles Daily Star/of that date, and I have been consistent in my’sentiments in that behalf ever since that time. In the case pending before the Supreme Court of the United States in the October term, 1892, casos Nos. 921-22 and 862-63, entitled ‘‘The United States vs. Southern Pacific Railroad et al.,” in common with my friend Joseph Call, I filed a brief in opposition to the petition for rehearing against that company and in behalf of the settlers of the State of California, contesting the right of the Southern Pacific Company te hold their land grant; and upon the points there referred to and advocated, several million of acres were turned over to the public domain. =r ve * If any of the complaining friends have any doubts in reference to my attitude toward the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, I would most respectfully refer them to that man who has been the corporation’s most distin* guished oppgnent that ever existed, viz,, Mr. Joseph Call, whose office is in the Bradbury block in Los Angeles City. Mr. Joseph Call is the ablest champion the people ever had as azainst the encroachments of the railroads upon the public domain. ? Before I ever announced: my candidacy the Democratic and Republican papers of this State (notably among which were the Hera.d of Los Angeles, and the Examiner of San Francisco) asserted that I was not the preference of the Southern Pacific Company: : ; Again, within-the last three years I have brought suits against those corporations, laying damages in the aggregate of upward of $10,000, and I have on sudgments and collected from them within that period of time nearly ’ : : no convention that nominated me he other day at Sacramento, I sa) 5 : “I would rather meet honorable defeat than be guilty of any such practice, and if ever after this political contest is over I return to this beautiful city of Sacramento elected as Governor of this Siate I will walk down your streets toward the Capitol, there to take my oath as Governor of this State, a free nan, not dominated by anything except the pu:p»se todischarge my duty faithfully to Democrat, Republican, and every human being within the confines of our beuutiful State—no matter, fellow-citizens, whether that person be a miner liv.ng in a cabin on the mountain side, or the aristocrat living in the pa.ace in the city. We are bound as a party to do and will do impartial justice to all our fellow-beings.” : . Lhese expre-sions, as you will observe, are all consistent. ‘ I meant them all; and no man has just grounds of complaiut against me so far as corporate influences are concerned, and no man will make these complaints against me unless he be a corrupt and infamous scoundrel himself. Thanking you for your kindly expressions, and thanking vou much for caliing my attention to what is going on upon the outside, I make these replies to you, in the hore that they may enable you, as you go around, to an. 6werany charge which may be attempted to be made in your presences Yours very respectfully, ~« ‘ HENRY T.
